The river and harbor appro- priation bill is now pending, and the arguments against its passage is -“appealing to members who have not studied the siuation, says the Wash- ington Post. The failure to ‘make river and harbor appropriations would be extravagance, and not seconomy. Throughout the United ;‘States are projects under way, rang- ing from surveys to nearly complet- ed works of great importance. The rains, the floods, and the sea are never idle; they tear down the works of man wherever they can. Only the stoutest works of the engineers, carefully planned, and thoroughly executed, can withstand the ele- ments. The abandonment of these half-built levees, dams, locks, revet- ments, dredgings, breakwaters, and other improvements would mean throwing away millions that have al- ready been spent. But it would mean more than that. It would mean the repetition of flood disas- ters, the shoaling of harbors and rivers, and the stoppage of naviga- tion and commerce ‘in‘many place: Human life as well as property is in- volved in this bill. The work under way to control floods in the Missis- sippi and Ohio valleys is essentially life-saving work which should not be interrupted for any cause. It rises above questions of economy, and as- sumes the proportions of a solemn national duty. No one forgets the nation’s demand for instant action following the tremendous floods in the Ohio river valley a few months ago. It was a demand that congress should go ahead, without regard to expense, and do everything possible to safeguard human life from the rage of the floods. - The chief of the engineers of the United States army has very properly directed attention to the urgent necessity of continuing appropriations for carrying forward the works now in hand. He knows better than any other person in the United States just how extravagant and wasteful it would be to suspend operations on the mighty works un- der his charge. Congress should economize where it can do so with safety and good results; but the ab- rupt breaking off of great works for the conservation of human life is not economy. It is extravagance and waste. B That “Loyalty” Snort. The question is, “must a citizen of Bemidji support F. A. Wilson for the state senate to keep from being & traitor?” Wilson, in a recent is- sue says he must. He has given fair warning to the Pioneer. If the Pioneer don’t come out for him, he’ll commence calling u§’ haughty names, tear off some masks and tell things that may prove rathér embarassing, as he puts it. Gee, but that will be awful! Let’s see; are we alone, of the same mind? If we recall cor- rectly about one-third of the voters were for Wilson and two-thirds for someone else, at the last primary election. That places about two- thirds of those who voted in the city at the primaries, in Wilson’s traitor division. Just what this city is coming to, with practically two- thirds of the voters classed as dis- loyal citizens, we dare not venture to say, but we do believe that after Wilson tactics have been disclosed in true light, there’ll be more than two-thirds of. our voters lined up with Leonard Nord for the senator- stamp and type must be submitted for the approval 'of the voters. Be- midji, the biggest city in the dis- trict, has plenty of material, and could have selected a man to whom this district could point with pride, but circumstances have . conferred this honor to the border city,’ who have chosen more wisely, they' hav- ing unanimqusly decided upon Leon- ard Nord. He s for the district. He is strong for the Normal School, He is for Bemidji. = He will be a strong power and influence in the state senate. ' It. would be ridiculous to make comparisons. We believe that standing by Nord and the two-thirds who voted against Wilson, we,show to support a man, whom he believe position.
