The city’s gates swing wide. Bemidji extends her most cordial welcome to the members of the sena- torial ‘‘adjourned session’ party. The city is pleased to be included in the intinerary of such worthy visitors and we cannot refrain from extending our most sincere thanks to Senator P. H. McGarry of Walker ‘who has made this visit possible. Bemidji today is a big, little city, and it is to be the home of the state’s sixth normal school. It is for that reason that we want the legislature to become better acquainted with us. Bemidji was once a frontier lum- ber town. It still has enough lum- ber adjacent to it to keep the saw mills busy for a quarter of a cen- tury to come. But as the lumber is being stripped from the hillsides a more permanent industry is taking its place — farming. Surrounding this city are 40,000 acres of unde- veloped land. For centuries the land has been enriched by forest wood un- til a black loam has accumulated above the clay formation soil and no more productive soil for diversified crops can he found. Bemidji is only about 20 years old and although it is now a city of near- 1y 8,000 people it never had a boom, but gradually grew. Today Bemidji has paved and well lighted streets, fine buildings, beautiful parks, exeel- lent police and fire departments, a public library and an extensive school system. Bemidji is a “Paradise” for those who love the out of doors. Besides Lale Bemidji, a man can put a pack on his back, start off in his canoe and he has thousands of miles of ter- ritory to choose from a hundred lakes and streams to drop a line in. It requires no special spirit of op- timism to forecast a future for Be- midji. It is the natural commercial center for one-third of the state, and that portion of the state is now on the eve of a marvelous development. Small towns are springing up throughout the area, all of which look forward to Bemidji as a whole- sale and jobbing center, a position given it by its railway facilities. So Bemidji bids her honored guests of today a most cordial welcome, hop- ing that they will enjoy their stay in Bemidii and hoping that the impres- sion they carry away with them will be pleasant. We hope that they will come again to this “City of Enter- prise.” Harry W. Bright has leased the Walker Pilot from Farley A. Dare for a pericd of months. However, Far- ley will not keep out of the ‘“game.” He will spend some time ‘‘making little journeys through the big county” and looking in on Cass Lake folks. HUGHES MAJORITY. ‘““Charles Evan Hughes will carry Minnesota by an old-time Republican maiority.” This statement was made Friday by A. A. D. Rahn, of Minneapolis, well known in Bemidji. Mr. Rahn’s diagnosis of conditions was given special attention because of his prominent connection with the Roosevelt movement in Minnesota. “I have been around the state a good deal,” said Mr. Rahn, “and have found sentiment strongly favor- ing Hughes. There are no longer any factions in Minnesota. Progres- sives and regular Republicans are working hand in hand. Patriotism has taken the place of partisanship. Wherever you hear factionalism dis- cussed, it is among men who would like to be leaders and entertain the idea this will add to their advertising value. They are very few. “The people of Minnesota believe that in view of the great comstrue- tive problems that are to confront the country after the European war, a man of Mr. Hughes' calibre should be in power, and that a policy of con- structive direction should take the place of the policy of drifting oppor- tunism and of polxucal expediency that prevails during the regime of Mr. Wilson. “The people of Minnesota are in- terested in a proper amount of pre- paredness to preserve peace, and they are intensely interested in a program of industrial preparedness which will enable them to meet the problems that will come after the war. “The farmers of our country are especially interested in this phase of the situation. They registered their attitude at the time of the Canadian reciprocity issue, by opposing it al- most unanimously. Now, under Democratic free trade they find them- selves confronted with the prospect of competition with Canada, with the Argentine and with all the agricul- tural producing secitions of the world with absolutely no reciprocal ar- rangements to offset the freedom of trade given to the outside countries. “Minnesota farmers are intelligent and are not deceived by the artificial prices that exist today, due to war conditions. They know these prices will drop the minute the war stops. Neither are they deceived by the silly and wholly unjustified claim that ‘Wilson has ‘kept us out of war.’ They are sufficiently informed to know that Mr. Wilson’s policies almost forced us 0{into the war, notwithstanding the fact that we wanted no trouble with anyone, and that no omne wanted trouble with us. They also know that the wobbling foreign policy of the present administration brought about the complications which resulted in the crisis which nearly compelled us to get into the war. “They are painfully aware also of the painfully inept and incapable policy which has forced the admin- istration into waging a bloody “peace’ in Mexico. “I have been over Montana and ‘Washington and find sentiment in those states tending toward Hughes.” ii**##*iii**ii** i * ¥ ici EE gOTICES* x X X Presbyterian.

PAY AS YOU LIKE THE BEMIDJT DAILY PIONEBR :ii#fifi;i*i*i%*ki RAPH NEW! ho * (By United Press)s x KK KKK KKK KK KKK Pierre, S. D., Oct. 7.—The elimina- tion of the enlivenlng Mexican Pey- ota bean from the diet of the South Dakota reservation Indians is the mission of Earl B. Putt, a chemist, who left for Washington today to ob- tain anti-bean legislation. The bean is supposedly a substitute for booze, which, as booze is barred from the Indla.ns ‘Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 7.—Thou- sands of spectators and many en- ‘trants were on hand today for the re- newal of the “Giant’s Despair” auto- mobile hill climbing contest up Wilk- esbarre mountain. Ten events sanc- tioned by the A. A. A. are on the card embracing stock and non-stock and piston displacement from 160 to 600 cubic inches. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 7.—Six hun- dred men thoroughly experienced in criminology—most of them the keep- ers of prisons all over Uncle Sam’s domain, including Alaska and the Philippines—assembled here today in the congress of the American Prison association with the avowed purpose of making it less easy for good per- sons to become criminals than here- tofore. New York, Oct. 7.—This is the day the candidate for congress who has X not promised to vote to submit the Susan B. Anthony Federal suffrage amendment will be heralded to the nation for what the woman say he is —an “anti.” At the urging of the National Women’s Suffrage associa- tion of local organizations all over the country are here today holding meetings at which the qualifications of each candidate with direct refer- ence to his suffrage views is reviewed. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 7.—The old junk man was today blamed for the high cost of paper. Dealers in this great paper producing state explain- ed that when Europeans started throwing so much metal at each other, the demand here for metal be- came high and junk men began gath- ering old iron rather than rags. High grade papers are made from rags. Shortage of them forced up the bet- ter grade of paper. The high cost of print paper and poorer grades of paper are unexplained. Some dealers thought it went up in sympathy. Eau Claire, Wis., Oct. 7.—One hun- dred business men took a Saturday afternoon off today to build a taber- nacle. Armed with hammers, nails, saws and other tools of the building trade, they met this afternoon, pro- ceeded to the city hay market in the center of the city and proceeded to erect a structure accommodating 2,- 600 for the revival Rev. James Rey- burn will open tomorrow. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 7.—Business men want everybody in the United States to disport in St. Paul’s snow when the thermometer stands at 31 below next January Minnesotans gaily bedecked in costumes symbolic of winter, frolicked around in ice and snow last January and seemed to en- joy it. Now Charles Patterson, booster for the St. Paul Outdoor Win- ter Sport carnival, wants to make the affair national, with headquarters irn every state capitol and special ar- rangements made for state delega- tions all over the United States. Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern railway and the carnival association, sanctions the idea. Cleveland, Oct. 7.—The high cost of living has driven Clevelanders to goat meat, according to J. L. Hilder- brand, a local ‘wholesale meat dealer. Goat meat at 16 cents a pound is be- ing consumed in large quantities in Cleveland, Hilderbrand stated. New York, Oct. 7.—Harking back to the days of the little red school house by the wayside, New York au- thorities are considering installing slates and slate pencils in the city schools. High price of paper is the reason. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 7.—With 2,- 000,000 tons less coal in the Duluth docks than the average ten-year con- sumption, dealers today refused to comment on the probability of a coal famine through the Northwest where the temperature reaches 40 and 50 degrees below zero. It is certain, however, that coal prices will soar, despite a reported federal investiga- tion to start in St. Paul on coal prices. Sugar and flour joined coal on the upward tendency today. With wholesale sugar quotations opened to- day at $7.45, an advance of ten cents in 24 hours and 60 cents in thirty days are shown. Retailers think a sugar corner is being effected. Flour at retail hit $9.50 today, an advance of 60 cents this week. Ploneer adveriisements are re- liable.
