The vote on the motion to postpone was 69 to 56. The - enemies of the Elwell law fousht the postponement bitterly, de- clearing that it was simply a scheme to delay action and to gain time for lobbying against the repeal bill. What is a Blockade? A reader wants to kncw precisely | what is the difference between a; “real” blockade” and a “paper block- ade.” There is a good deal of natural| ¢onfusion about the matter as a re-| sult of recent war developments. Ger-| many has declared a “war zone”| arcund the British Isles without de- claring a formal blockade, and Great | 4ident is working with but one purpose randria Post News. {ANOTHER SHIPMENT | ges that may be needed to bring in- ternational law into harmony with new methods of warfare can be made only with the consent of interested nations.

It %00k the tragic death of Mrs. Higbee to wake up the legislature to the im- portance of this reform. Every per- son having to do with state institu- tions has long realized the necessity for the woman’s reformatory, but it has taken a long time to educate the lawmakers.—St. Cloud Journal-Press. —_—— If the Minnesota legislature passes the measure pending before it pro- viding for convict labor on state highways, it will be merely adopting a plan that has already proven a suc- cess in states like Colorado, Iowa and Ilhnoxs, says the Virginia Enter- prise. Good roads are necessary for state development. An out-of-door life for men unfortunate enough ‘o be committed to penal institutions will be a considerable aid to the re- form that prison sentences are de- signed to accomplish. The usual ob- jections to convict labor cannot be held to apply in the case of state highways. The cheaper they can be built, the more of them will be un- dertaken and completed. The plan to work convicts on road construction is an excellent one, both from the economic and the humanitarian standpoints.—Stillwater Gazette. —_—— ‘Withholding criticism of the pres- ident and his administration in a situation like the present is rather {ine rxpression of loyalty As pres- ident of our country, Mr. Wilson has had grave responsibilities as to our foreign velationships thrust wupon him, and we, as American citizens, should give him our moral support. Expressions from the press of the country indicate that he has that suppert. in a marked degree. Ameri- cans wish to remain neutral, not on- 1y to avoid the horrors of warfare but to hold the respect of the war- ring nations so that eventually this country may act as peacemaker in re- storing normal conditions and secur- ing a cessation of strife. The pres- in view, the avoidance of all entan- slements, and in that he commands the confidence of the nation.—Alex- T0 SUPPLY DEMAND Britian has declared that she will! seize ships clearing for or from Ger-' many, but without announcing a, blackade. PBoth belligerents are oh-' viously trying to accomplish the pur— poses of a genuine blockade wnhout! assuming its responsibilities. As set forth in the Declaration of London, which is the standard ex-; pression of international law on the subject, a blockade, if it is expected | to have any standing in the eyes of other nations, must fulfill these con- ditions: It must not extend beyond the ports and coasts of the enemy. It must be applied impartially to the ships of all nations. It must be backed up with a suf- ficient naval force to insure its ef- fectiveness. " Neutral ships are then obliged to respect it, on pain of confiscation or destruction, even when patrolling warships are temporarily driven from their stations by stress of weather. The natural objection of neutral nations to the trade restrictions im- posed by Great Britian and Germany is that they are irregular and unpre- cedented; that they seek to accom- plish by mere fiat, or by random acts of violence, what they cannot accom- plish by the recognized means of a tight naval cordon drawn around the enemy in the sight of the whole world; that the conditions they im?® pose are vague and variable, in- stead of the definite, simple condi- tions that neutrals have a right to expect. In short, the neutral nations, in going about their business on the sea thoroughfares, want to know “where they are at;””’they want no new and arbitrary prohibitions laid on their commerce and 'no destruction of neut- ral property or life unless after just provocation, and according to due process of international law. They deny the right of either Great Brit- ian or Germany to create a' new in- ternational law by its own unsupport- ed fiat. They.stand pat-on_the Declaration of London, and insist that any chan- ireaders would have to be NKMAN Somebody asked, ‘“When is it going to end?” “Why, it’s just begun,” in the an- wer. Referring, of course, to The Pio- neer’s distribution of the greatest Bible ever "published. It did look for a while as though some of our THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER '~ N pointed, but additional shipments are now on the way and everybody will be supplied in time. The Pioneer recognizes the fact that there are numerous “illustrated” Bibles offered to the public. But they contain merely pictures of Bib- lical scenes taken at random from va- rious sources and inserted without regard to subjects or chapters. Some New Testament scenes are inserted in the Old Testament and vice versa. 'Thus they entirely lose their educa- tional value. In this Bible there are more than 600 illustrations printed with the type, so that they make plain the verse which they accom- pany. Those who are not familiar with the Bible will catch many a new meaning aided by these illustrations. Then this Bible also contains full page color plates from the wonder- ful Tissot collection, each of which has been selected with the same ob- text matter. So with all respect to other Bibles, the fact remains that this is the onmly really illustrated Bible. No difference how many other Bi- bles you may now have, this one ex- plains and makes clear the many sub- jects illustrated; and even though you may have no religious beliefs, such a work will be found an invaluable aid to education. In addition to the educational helps, the copious marginal refer- ences and the beautiful colored maps, every proper name in Illustrated Bible syllables and marked for pronuncia- tion, being treated the same as in a dictionary, so that mispronunciation is impossible. This is one. of the most important features of this great work and is of immense value to both young and old who find it diffi- cult to pronounce Bible names. Don’t wait, but bring your cer- tificates and get your Bible. Today’s certificate is printed on another page.

FRECKLES February and March Worst Months for This Trouble—How to Remove Easily. There’s a reason why nearly every- body freckles in February and March, but happily there is also a remedy for these ugly blemishes, and no one need stay freckled. Simply get an ounce of othine, double strength, from your druggist and apply a little of it night and morning, and in a few days you ' should see that even the worst freck- les have begun to disappear, while the light ones have vanished entire- ly. Now is the time to rid yourself or freckles, for if not removed now they may stay all Summer, and spoil an otherwise beautiful complexion. Your money back if othine fails. Small beveled wheels, to be attach- ed at angles to the rear axle of an automobile, have been patented to prevent skidding. Paint made from the oil of a spe- cies of Manchurian bean is both wa- ter and fireproof. BEMIDIJI Business Directory | CLASSIFIED ALPHABETICALLY. LAUNDRY E. M. SATHRE ABSTRACTER O’Leary-Bowser Bldg.
