Over 20,000 bills have been intro- duced so far in the present sessions of congress. It is estimated that the present congress will be asked to consider 30,000 bills. Hundreds of the bills are introduced just as home measures and never get any further than the committee room; others are presented just to arouse debate and clog the machinery of the gov- ernment. Some changes are impera- enjoy their lives unmolested so long as .they observed the just rules of the M they might deal with e ‘with their heads ts and servants of the servants only of the upon ;which their lives £ erect, the': 1o ma; prineip! rested.” "’ What he told Pittsburgh men: “I believe in peace. But I know that peace costs something, and that the only way in which you can main- tain peace is by thoroughly enjoy- ing the respect of everybody with whom you deal. “We want the spirit of America to be efficient. “Therefore, I have proposed plans for the military efficiency of this na- tion. “I should feel that I was guilty of an unpardonable omission if I did not tell my fellow countrymen that new circumstances had arisen which made it absolutely necessary that this country should prepare itself not for war, not for anything that smacks in the least of aggression, but for adequate national defense.” ‘What he told Pittsburgh women: “There is a sense in which the women of the country live closer to the life of it than the men. The women feel the pulse of the country more than the men do. It is in or- der that we may preserve the thoughtful ideals of America that it is necessary that we should make preparation for national defense. “I have not come here to tell you of any immediate threat of indefinite danger, because by very great pa tience, by making our position per- fectly clear and then steadfastly maintaining the same attitude throughout the great controversies, we have so far held difficulty at arm’s length. But I want you to realize the task you have imposed upon your government. “The facts of the world are such that it is my duty to counsel my fellow citizens that preparation for national defense cannot any longer tive in this system of popular gov- ernment which militates against effi- ciency and sound legislation. ATTEND COUNCIL MEET. The Bemidji city council will meet tonight at the city hall to comsider plans for the city to maintain the Rest Room. This is an important matter.

Japan proposes to take absolute control of China. If dome, this would mean a probable farewell to the open trade door. the Chinese empire practically that it is no longer an empire (or a re- public) but a dependency of Japan. THANKS TO LUMBER COMPANY The citizens of Bemidji, we feel sure, wish to extend their thanks to | the Crookston Lumber company for placing its big snow plow in opera- tion Saturday to make paths around the city.

President Wilson has started on a stumping tour which is of vital im- portance to his political future. With an perspicacity he has not hitherto displayed, Mr. Wilson appears to have realized that his administration is in disfavor and that the people at large have no sympathy for Demo- cratic policies. Consequently before beginning his tour he announced that his stumping tour would be made in the interest of the essentially Republican issue| ¥§ of preparedness. Mr. Wilson says that his trip is| g non-partisan, but Democratic as well as Republican leaders believe that Mr. Wilson’s political future is at stake and that he is making the trip chiefly with the hope of re- habilitating himself in publie favor. It is obvious to the most casual observer that Mr. Wilson is no longer regarded as their leader by members of his party in congress. They are convinced that he cannot accept a renomination without a shameless stultification of himself and the one- term plank of the Democratic plat- form. The following are some poignant sentences in three of Mr. Wilson’s speeches: What he told Cleveland audience: “Do you wonder that men’s sym- pathies become deeply engaged on one side or the other? For no small things are happening. This is aj struggle which will determine the history of the world, I dare say, for more than a century to come. “It is very difficult for us to hold off and look with cool judgment on such tremendous matters. And yet, we have held off. “We have said ‘our chief interest is not in the rights of property, but in the rights of man; our chief in- terest is in the spirits of men that they may be free, that they might Acceptance to | (3 China of Japan’s proposal means to | [#¢ be postponed.” MINNESOTA HISTORY COURSE AT UNIVERSITY Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 381.— ‘When the University of Minnesota -reopened today, following the semes- ter examinations, Minnesota history was given as a course.
