DOUGLAS COUNTY Stephen Arnold Douglas, leader of the Democratic par- ty in the north during the years preceding the Civil war, always a friend of Minne- sota, and his position as chairman of the senate com- mittee on territories gave him numerous opportunities to demonstrate his friendship. His aid was especially valu- able in securing the organi- zation of Minnesota Territory in 1849, the enactment of the enabling act in 1857, and the admission of the state in 1858. The county named in his honor was organized in March of the latter year, at the very time when he was working for the passage of the admission bill. de ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ko ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ko ko k ok ol ok ko ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ko ok ok ok kW IS SR SRR R R R R R PRIMARY ELECTION. A movement has been set on foot to reform the primary election law in Minnesota. The movement began in Rock county and is rapidly spreading to other counties. A resolution passed at a meeting of Rock county voters severely con- demns: the present law and proposes as' the remedy the amending of the present law so as to combine with it provisions for the holding of county, district and state conventions of delegates selected by the people to nominate candidates' for. office and| providing for well regulated and care- fully safeguarded primary elections for the selection of such delegates. The Minneapolis Journal states that other.counties of the state should lose no time in following the intel- ligent. leadership of Rock county in this matter. The resolutions in part passed at the Rock county meeting, are as fol- lows: “‘Ostensibly, the primary gives the people the right to name-their choice of .candidates for office. In fact and in aperation, the law positively limits and. restricts the voter’s choice to self-named officeseekers, regardless of their fitness, qualifications, or the wishes of the voters. To that extent the voters have, in fact, been disfran- chised. The law seems to have been enacted solely in the interests of the men who want office, and against the interests of:the voters who do not want them. Yet in contravention of this feature, and as a further example of the' futuility and the incompati- bility of the primary, there stands out the fact that, if all the self- seekers should retire from the field, there would remain practically no way by which the voters could select their public servants. ““The primary law has not resulted in the selection of better officers. It is not giving fewer or better laws. In fact, the Tule to the contrary pre- vails. It is increasing taxation and multiplying offices at an alarming rate. It discourages organization and co-operation among the voters for much needed reforms. It defeats ma- Jjority rule, and confuses, discourages and destroys the active interest of the voters in public questions. Tt tends to make office-holding a sign of reproach, and is better calculated to destroy faith and confidence in pop- ular government than any other thing that can be conceived.” ANOTHER TURNED DOWN. An adveréising agency sent the Daily Pioneer the following letter several days ago: “A large cloak and suit con- ‘eerh in Minfieapolis® would 1iie to run a 72-inch Spring’ An- nouncement, using cuts of their garments; no prices will be quoted. “Will you accept; answer by return mail.” The Pioneer turned down this ad- vertising and refused to accept: it. Why? Because it is in direct competition to local merchants. Bemidji is well supplied with cloak and suit stores and we believe in boosting their busi~ ness and not in placing obstacles in their way. Thousands of dollars of advertising = |of firms doing mail order business are turned down by the Pioneer each vear in order to boost local enter- prises. THESE LOOK GOOD. Paved streets kept clean and in repair. Business houses kept neatly painted. Front yards with concrete walks, flower beds and vacant spots seeded and frequently mown. - Back yards so clean they compel admiration. School yards sanitary and with adequate playgrounds for children. Store windows with neat displays of goods and a spirit of thrift in evi- dence. A strong spirit of civic pride. Everybody hustling for himself and boosting for this city. These are good signs. Clean Up! Paint Up! and residences CONGRESS BLAMED. If Villa escapes, the army will not be at fault, says the Minneapolis Tribune. The blame will rest with congress, which has kept the army scattered in “‘pork-barrel” army posts and has failed to provide for equip- ment for the rapid mobilization and movement of the troops. Villa got a flying start while the government was trying to buy automobiles and motor trucks. » KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK ® x BOILED NEWS X KEK KKK KK F KKK KK KK vote of 1,028 to 869, a majority of 158 votes.
