Today the Minnesota Football team is at Urbana, Ill., and is playing the University of Illinois eleven. The Gopher team is without its regularly elected captain on account of an un- tair restriction. Condemnation of the professional- ism of the recently dismissed captain comes rather from his denial of an infringment of rules rather than from his failure to observe them. The restriction of prohibiting college or university athletes from en- gaging in athletic sports such as summer baseball and receiving pay for such services is so unfair and prejudicial to the interests of college athletes that the rule is more honored in the breach rather than in its obser- vance. It is one of the laws however, of college athletics and often opens the way for disbarment proceedings where rival interests take the trouble to investigate. The great majority of college students in the west must seek remunerative work during the summer months. The trained athlete may accept honest work, however all except that in which he is most proficient. He may not use his athletic skill for remuneration of any kind. The system is wrong. Where a standard of scholorship, of morals and good conduct can be applied—as it easily can in any institution—what good purpose can further restrictions serve? A restriction like that broken by Captain Solon invites dishonesty and accomplishes nothing. The rule should be withdrawn.

Mr. Buckman comes out with an open and frank statement that he will stand to support the family.

If normal condi- tions existed throughout the world, under the present Democratic tariff policy there would be a panic in this country far worse than the days of ’9%, and in spite of the abnormal con- ditions that should bring prosperity as long as the war existed there is a general depression all over the United States—and the American knows the reason why. True Republican prin- cipals rather than candidates will rule the next election. Congressman Buckman was a part of the party that gave this country the most prosper- ous times in its history and he is a pretty good man to put back on the job, and this is due respect to every man who aspires to the office of con- gressman, and there are several who4 no doubt would give excellent service. HALLOWE’EN. The favorite offense of Hallowe’en is wanton destruction of property. This often involves an insidious form of lawlessness that appeals to the boy spirit of adventure. Hallowe’en should be brought by public sentiment to a safe and sane basis. It is not necessary to ‘take the joy out of life’ in order to bring back Hallowe’en observance into reason. The folk lore that clusters about Hallowe’en is rich and an unfailing imind for the celebrations of the ancient holiday. Parents should find it easy to deny their children the privilege of be- coming rowdies, if they substitute some rational entertainment for to- night. The harmless superstitions, distorted survivals of ancient pagan observances offer an attractive basis for merry Hallowe’en parties to take the place of vexatious depredations. Let us have a safe and sane Hal- lowe’en in Bemidji tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Parent do your part. PRAISES BEMIDJL In an article on “Southern Bel- trami and Northern Hubbard Coun- ties” that appeared in the last issue of Northern Minnesota, the writer says that ‘“there are many other places in Northern Minnesota that has as good soil, but none of them that have a consuming city of 7,000 people which it is predicted will i reach 25,000 by 1925 and have three trunk railway lines running through |them. Duluth and Superior, with a non-producing population of 200,- 000 are only 180 miles to the east, | Minneapolis and St. Paul with a non- ‘producing population of 550,000 are only 230 miles to the south, and Win- Inipeg with a population of 300,000 1is only 270 miles to the northwest. | These people spend for cream and | butter alone about $4,000,000 a year. It is not necessary for a practical farmer or prospective buyer to be told how fundamentally important this is.” SHOULD INVESTIGATE CASES. The City of Bemidji has been forced to take care of a number of cases where the husband has left his wife jand children in this city without sup- port. Each winter the same situa- tion has arisen, and the city has had The city council should investigate these cases and demand that the police locate the husbands and that the husbands sup- KKK E KK KK KKK KK K * THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE * KK KKK KKK KKK XK P. 0. NEAR COURT HOUSE. Editor of the Pioneer: To back up the Bemidji postoffice site rightly before the present con- gress as well as the postoffice de- partment, I believe that Bemidji will do -well to first take an open stand for the most central site and work openly for it. To get the goal, it pays to aim accurately. Let us aim at something definite and create the public opinion for the same. I believe that the most central site and best location is the Beltrami avenue site near the court house. Yours very truly, | J. J. OPSAHL. HHKEKKHH KKK HKKK KKK * DAILY WAR ANALYSIS * * (By J. W. T. Mason) * b United Press Staff * x Correspondent, * The meeting of the Germans and Bulgarians in the northwestern cor- ner of Serbia is a matter that con- cerns: Great Britain far more than it does| the Serbs. The Teutons have | gone\ through the Iron Gate district| of Serbia, not in order to threaten the Serbian army, but to establish a quick route for rushing supplies in- to Turkey. The new military development in the Balkan situation, therefore, can only be countered by rapid concen- tration of allied troops either in Bul- garia 'or European Turkey. 'Germany is-now able to send munitions to the Turks and this means that a new and large army is in process of being added to the Teutonic forces. The Turkish government has per- haps half a million excellent fight- ing ‘men, who have been idle during the war because of lack of equip- ment. Germany can begin to arm these troops and can continue doing| so until all are equipped, unless the Allies cut the communication now being established between Hungary | and Constantinople. Munitions for the Turks move over a rough road bhefore the Bulgarian‘ railway line to Constantinople is| reached. There are about 30 miles | of mountain highway in Serbia and | about 100 miles of roads in Bulgaria to be crossed before the line of com- munication joins the Orient railway. Traveling is difficult through Serbia, | but with motor trucks at the dis- posal of the Germans the journey through Bulgaria to the railway line can be made with considerable ra- pidity. The strong resistance of the Serbs along the Nish railway has forced the Germans to open mountain roads into Bulgaria. The Nish line is the only Serbian railway which connects with the Bulgarian railway that runs into Turkey. The Serb defense makes it impos- sible for the Germans to fix a date when through rail connection can be established with Turkey through Ser- bia. The alternative high road route | therefore has been established. The challenge to the Allies is a serious one and the effect on Greece and Ru- mania cannot be satisfactory to the desires of the quadruple entente. Got Rid of Her Stomach Trouble. “Since childhood I have been og- liged to eat sparingly and carefully. My doctor who had been treating me without success advised me to try Chamberlain’s Tablets. I sent for a box and they worked like a charm. They strengthened my digestion and relieved the constipation. Occasion- ally I take a dose of them when not feeling just right and they quickly fix me up,” writes Mrs. J. P. Brady, Victor, N. Y. For sale by all deal- ers.—Adv. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER GREAT BRITAIN MAY TAKE A THIRD -~ OF INCOMES London, Oct. 30.—The Daily Ex- press says that the treasury is con- sidering the advisability of. a forced loan to curb private expenditure and conserving the resources for purposes of war. i ‘“Mr. Montague,” (financial secre- tary to the treasury), says the Ex- press, “‘stated a few days ago in the house of commons that every cit- izen ought to be prepared to put half his annual income at the disposal of the nation. We are able to state that the treasury is considering the ad- visability of acting in accordance .| with this warning and if the nation will not save voluntarily. it will be: made to do so. “Not half but a third of very man’s present income will be com- mandeered. Part will be taken as -a tax, while for the remainder an equivalent in interest bearing paper will be issued. Good Advice to Mothers.
