Next week a new administration will take hold of the affairs of the sheriff’s office in the court house. On January 1 Sheriff Hazen will wmove gut and Andrew Johnson will move in, Mr, Johnson was elected “to the office by an overwhelmi . vote after he defeated Sheriff Hazen w i‘n t_he Repuhlican primaries, " ~Sheriff-elect Johnson has the best Xkind of an opportunity to win the confidence of the public in his office. He already has a reputation as a fear- -less and efficient deputy and as a man whose integrity has never been questioned. There are many in the county who are looking to Mr. Johnson to ‘make a thorough removation of the sheriff’s office. It has been the dis- grace of the county in the past and the methods employed—especially in the selection of and guarding of juries—have been known by attor- neys all over the state . Beltrami county juries have a bad reputation and Mr. Johnson has it in his power to remedy the situation. A clean sweep in the sheriff’'s of- fice dees not mean so much the hir- ing of new deputies as the county has several first class men in service now. But it does mean getting rid of the faces which are too familiar in the sheriff’s office and are later seen all too frequently in the jury box. Andrew Johnson has two years in office but the task that faces him will take all of his power and in- genuity. We Refuse to Fight. Several editors of Minnesota pa- pers have made the statement that Bemidji, Cass Lake and Thief River Falls would enter another fight for a normal school at the coming session ©of the legislature. Some have gone so far as to state that this issue will cloud reapportionment and that it should not be raised. The Pioneer.was the first paper to take up the question and would like to repeat that Bemidji is not in any normal school fight for itself and will not enter one such as was fought four years ago. The people here be- lieve that a normal school should be placed somewhere in Northern Min- nesota and are ready to do all in their power to get a bill calling for such a school through the legislature but are willing to have the matter of location left to the state normal school board. D. P. O’Neill, represenative of this “district, is from Thief River Falls but he understands the attitude of Be- midji in the matter and has taken the same attitude himself. Mr. O’Neill called in The Pioneer office Saturday and stated again that he would favor a general normal school bill if the question of location was not raised. He preferred leaving it to the state normal board. Neither Mr. O'Neill nor The Pioneer can see how the normal school question can in any way cloud the reapportionment issue. Reappor- tionment is due all of Northern Min- nesota on any basis whatever; a nor- mal school should be placed in North Central Minnesota for it is badly needed as the demand for mnormal larger than the other normals can tinct. state normal board, Health Talk No. 23. A man once forgot to speak to a Missouri mule when he wanted to scrape the mud from the left hind foot. Many attended the funeral. Another man forgot to take off his wet shoes when he went home at night and contracted pneumonia. The minister remarked that the floral offerings were “profuse”. Fooling with the left hind motI of a Missouri mule and neglecting to take care of one’s body in the winter time, are equally dangerous. Both usually pave the way for a long jur-; ney, unaccompanied. The hazard may be removed from each with proper care. If the man had been affable and approached the mule in a gentle- manly way, and spoken, he probably would have lived longer. If the man with the wet shoes had removed them when he reached home, he propably would have avoided the subsequent pneumonia. There is no better treatment for cold than the old fashioned, time- tried remedy, “the kind that mother used to make,” A hot bath to the feet, some Binger tea, then a warm | | bed and blankets, may ward off an' impending cold and pomsible pneu- monia: 0f all things, beware of patent any chaperon; I'm ten years older medicines as you would of a pesti- lence. Remember, too, that a mustard | bath for the feet will do more to ward off a cold than will a gallon jug, and that two dollars for a doctor is cheaper than one hundred dollars for a funeral.” Many a cough ends in a coffin, all because of neglect at the outset. Remember the man who had the mule and the one who had wet shoes. Take care in time.
