The Pioneer congratulates Mr. Vandersluis and will support him in every way pos- sible for good government for Be- midji. Yesterday, by being elected mayor of Bemidji, Mr. Vandersluis entered the door of opportunity and it will be his fault chiefly if he exits by the door of failure. By this we'do not mean that during his administration that he will not find obstacles not of his own making. On the con- trary, he will find many obstacles. Nevertheless, the clear-headed man, the true city executive, can accom- plish much. The office of mayor is a political office and the test for success is whether he plays big politics, little politics or politics of civic accom- plishment. Bemidji needs a builder, needs an executive who will build a bigger and greater city, not a city of dreams impossible of perfection. Mayor-elect Vandersluis, the Pio- neer will help you in every way pos- sible. PEOPLE AND PREPAREDNESS In one way or another nearly every- body is talking about preparedness against war. Last evening there was] a debate at the high school on the subject. The people are divided into many groups, ranging all the way from those who advocate the greatest army and navy in the world down to-the man who is so craven and cowardly he would not fight a jack rabbit te save: his ,birthright. The warship builders and ammuni- tion makers are wild for prepared- mness on a gigantic scale. They want to build ships and make ammunitiom and gather in more millions through the misfortunes of war and the blood of their countrymen. They see war looming in the distance and sweep- ing down upon us fromevery point of the compass. A certain class would have us bmld up a regular army of half a million men and provide for several millions of volunteers. Then they would neg- lect the sea defenses and wait fon the invader to come. . They happily are but few.in: number, and their desires will notbe realized. On :the other extreme are a great many people who do not believe:im fighting, who are against war of; every nature,.even against a war fo self- preservation. « They believe ih-sit- ting down, folding their -arms, ‘and’ trusting in God.to protect thi from no navy. They are opposed to Jpre: paredness of every nature and are using -and exerting every -influence to prevent-action.by congress. | ness of God to protect people who ‘will not protect-themselves. There .is another class which ap- pear: to:‘be greatly in the maljority| throughout the country. Theyigo to “neither extreme, - but: advocnie a course of procedure which;will} keep down, the cost and yet.will furnish emergencies. They want :to }wold be forced upon: us whether; wé !want it or not. . They realize, too, t}iat in modern warfareithe man -with the best.gun bags:the game. | yThese:people have:been -expre their: sentiments. inthe: newsprers, and in.public places, and haveibeer con- -gressmen, 'with- the result-that{ con- gress. is at last-getting down:to [busi- ness.and:preparinglegislatios sary for the protectionofthe: and the people of.our country. sing | «in-what. toi:do: and. how to 7« {There -are-extremists in: col ¥ terests of the people. tion. 3R TG 1 OREART0 : T iTs TTT gami Butsithese appear also: to be in’ the minority. ] In both the senate and the house a very strong -sentiment- prevails-in favor of increasing the navy and the regular army and providing a reason- — | ably strong force of volunteers as'a second line of defense. The ‘most mooted pf all questions appears to be that wofithe volunteers. The:president and ia amallifellowing in congress and the country at large favor the continental army scheme in preference to increasing the size of the: national ‘guard: ofi the several states. Others are opposed.to the proposed continental army. + They do not con-) sider it practical for a country oper- ating under a republican form of gov- ernment, and unhesitatingly that it is a dangerous weapon of offense:to. place inv:the hahds unre- servedly, of .any president. They: take the position that we have no means of knowing who our future presidents may be, and to place:such a. force in their - absolute = control would -be-to-surround them with a wall:.of - bayonets -that might tempt them to assume dictorial powers that ‘would:-be' inimicable to the best in- 27N Probably a majority of the repre- sentatives in congress and of the peo- ple favor increasing the navy to for- midable- -proportions, -recruiting the regular army up to about 150,000 to 250,000, and placing the national guard under pay for-drill attendance and-increasing' its membership to ap- proximately a million men, appor- tioned among the states according to population. Thus the president would have at his command a federal force of 1 000 to 2500,00 men at all times. The governors of the several states.would have subject to their orders a force of a million men in times of pea while in the event of a threatened invasion this force would automatic-] ally pass under the control of the president without further legisla< be divorced from the necessity of per- foming strike duty during lab troubles, leaving that to the sl and police officers. Increasing the national guard; this manner would supply the sary fares in time of war. recognize the rights of the se_xggag states in times of peace, and would serve to prevent a great centraliza- tion of power in Washington which in the future -might operate as a ser- ious menace or detriment to a free and self-governed people.
