And it is even bossi_ble that some time the Hague, just beeause it has come to stand for-the abiding place of Peace, may become the capital of the world.

The information was needless as the citizens of the sixty-second legislative district know where the managing editor of this publication stands. Can the same be said of Candidate Wilson? In a next week’s is‘sne of the Pio- neer we shall devote perhaps one full page of this paper to summing up the senatorial situation. We shall do this because it is of the utmost importance to this new senatorial district that we send the best man to represent us. We have very de- cided positive convictions, and we are going to set forth some mighty interesting and startling facts con- nected with the unfitness of one of the candidates to represent this dis- trict, or any district, in the state senate. We have examined into the life and character of the other candi- date, while we find much, yes, indeed, much to recommend him. There> fore, we trust that every voter wllf give special attention to the articles which will appear in this paper next week. As predicted in the columns of the Daily Pioneer last week, the petition which was circulated among the business men of .the city and signed by those agreeable to the candidacy of F. A, Wilson for the state senate, hzs been used in an effort to show that he is generally endorsed by Be- midfi citizens. The small number of names on the petition, forty-five, is surprising in view of the fact tha\t| there are ceveral hundred husinessI men in Bemidji. Many of the most prominent husiness houses of the| clty are not represented and it is a known fact that tome of the signa-| tures on the petition were placed ‘there following earnest request and | then after the declaration that the signer was not in sym- pathy with the candidacy of]| Wilson. Nevertheless, these names | were accepted on the , petition and are numbered among the forty- five business men of the city who en- dorse Wilson. We believe the peti- tion was entirely uncalled for, and that it placed many merchants in an embarrassing position. As an en- dorsement,’ the purpose of which is to show that Wilson is the unani- mous choice of Bemidji for the sen- ate, the petition will have little ef- fect. - . The Hague Tribunal. There has beer considerable scof- fing at the Hague Tribunal of late. It is natural enough, while the big guns thunder within hearing of the Journal. —— The country papers who are so en- thusiastic for W. S. Hammond for governor have not taken pains to find how he stands on matters per- taining to the printing industry. He is the sole congressman from Minne- sota who has not placed himself on record friendly to the country print- ers. Both' of our United States sen- ators. and every other congressman in Minnesota are outspoken against the government envelope monopoly. ‘Why not Mr. Hammond also?—Blue Earth County Enterprise. —_—— ““As goes Maine so does the Union,” was generally true in the days when parties meant more than they do to- day. Maine went Democratte this year and the average Republican will not stay awake nights for fear the country will follow suit in Novem- ber. Perhaps it will be a good thing if it does. With the president and senate Democratic and ‘the house Re- publican it would be merely a case of the pot calling the kettle black and neither party could be forced to assume responsibility. The other fellow would always be to blame. The tail might as well go with the hide for another two years.—Preston Times.

But there is no cause for either scorn or despair. The Hague today represents an ideal that is given point and force by the most ruthless of wars. Peace is no longer a mere academic prin- ciple to be discussed learnedly, with- out warmth, by scholars and states- men. It is the erying need of a sui- fering world. It is the thing de- sired above all things of human value. Instead of speculating dis- interestedly on the merits of peace, hundreds of millions of men and wo- | men are fervently praying for it. The evils or armament no longer have to be proved; Belgium and Galicia and East Prussia are argument enough. The world is ripening for the har- vest of the peace propaganda. When the war is over, the powers will be ready to accept the principle of ar- bitration. The “Federation of the World” will not come suddenly, but Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv. BE PRETTY!

There is one probable outcome of the European war which food producers should consider. That - is the discovery of new chemical methods of preparing food. As we know. the shortage of food during the siege of Paris. more than forty years ago. led to the “invention” of oleom rine. Chemists learned how to blend ¢ cheap fats into an imitation of pure butter. We all know what a remarkable effect this discov- ery has had upon the dairy busi- ness.

Already it is said that Mr. Edison has discov- ered a mew plan of preparing carbolic acid. We think both farming and manufacturing will be greatly changed by this war. —Rural New Yorker. ; i WOMAN’S WORK ON FARMS. Bureau Established to Take Up Femi- nine End of Farm Toil. A department of domestic science has been established in connection with the Erie county farm bureau of the Buffalo -Chamber of Commerce, says the American City. The plans of the bureau provide for doing for women snd girls on the farm, within their possible range of activities, work sim- {lar to that which is being done through the medium of farm bureaus for men and boys upon the farm within the range of their well defined lines of op- eration. There is'this difference, how- ever, between the operations of the de- partment of domestic science and the farm bureau proper: the latter has been tried out in many of its essential possi- bilities, with the result that waste ef- fort has been eliminated, and the work now being undertaken by a properly equipped farm bureau is carried on in accordance with well established rules,’ well defined policies and 6n a scientific basis. . The ;domestic- sclence 'iépnr(-' ment, on the contrary, gdes into' a vir- gin . fleld without knowledge gained through previous experience and must work out its own salvation to the last detail. The' fact has been recognized for uany years that one of the principal i) handicaps to successful farming has Jbeen the ~faflure heretofore o give proper consideration to tlie wowen's end of farin work. There is probably no business undertaking in which men j more closely {} than they do ia farming. yet despite ! and women co-operate the fact that the national government and the governments of practically ev: ery commonwealth in the nation have spent large sums of money in further- ing the progress of agriculture through the medium of the farmer and his son. thus far cowmparatively little has been devoted to similar work with regard to the farmer’s wife and her daughter. Easily Handled Gate. There are probably more farm gates made in the maoner shown by the il- |/ lustration here than any other kind, says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. If well made such gates last long, do not et out of order and swing about as casily as any kimd to be found. .. This gate hangs on a cleat between two. posts Set eight inches apart and one six inches alead of the other. It copens by sliding it back and swinging it around. A large boit thirough both posts will allow easy sliding of the rate, and when it is pushed back three or four feet the weizht is s0 evenly hung on the cleat or boit that there is little lifting to be done. the gate being balanced over the cle:it or'rod between the posts. D ‘When the gate is shut the free end fits: in between two other posts, rest- ground. It pays to make a good. strong. awell braced gate while we are at the fob. Such a one will last for years.

CANADIAN CIVIC PROGRESS. Rapid Growth In Many" Cities and In- creased Attention to Planning. ‘To many of the visitors to the recent city planning conference in Toronto one of the most interesting features was the display of photographs and maps of Canadian cities. These had been gathered by the commission of conservation with the aid of the city officials and commercial organizations of the various municipalities. The desire for a continuation of the work of the commission of conserva- tion in the interest of intelligent city planning was indicated by a resolution adopted by the Canadian delegates be- fore the adjcurnment of the confer- ence. This resolution advocated “the \creation of a special bureau on city planning in connection with the activi- ties of the commission of conservation, to act as a central body to encourage and co-operate with provincial or other housing and town planning ‘organiza- tions and thus to pursue the good al- ready attained and furthermore antici- pated—a good work which we believe will be welcomed by all classes of peo- usiness. ple of the Dominion.” To the delezates from the -United The quality of the meats we sell and the ex- o tremely low prices we sell them at makes Sat- urday at The Palace the liveliest spot in the city—one continuous stream of customers and going. “It’s not because our hair is curly or because our eyes are blue.” It’s simply because our meats, canned goods, fresh vegetables, etc. are sold and delivered fresh to your table at a price which convinces the public cannot be beaten in this section, when quality is considered. : The best to be found in the market is the poorest our Customers ever receive. satisfy yourself of this assertion by placing your next order at the Palace Meat Market - Hillaby & Doran, Props, ~ Phonp 200, Minnesuta Ave, Bemidj, Min, were muGe very clear by the Canadian exhibits— the wonder- - fully rapid growth in size of many of the cities of the Dominion and the in- creasing attention which most of them are giving to city planning and com- munity welfar * Southern Nigeria women wear brass anklets which make walking very difficult. e e DRINK HOT TEA H FOR A BAD COLD | R TSI 3 Get a small pack: of Hambus Breast Tea, or as t;%e German iolg call it, “Hamburger Brust Thee,” atany pharmacy.
