TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE MISUNDERSTANDING As the municipal campaign will soon be full blown, and as already there has appeared the “roorback” in the guise of “information” for the guidance of voters from other sources, which have found their way into the Daily Pioneer office, the Daily Pioneer believes it timely at the out- set to state its position fully and concisely, that.there may not be any |= misconstruction on the part of the Daily Pioneer in relation to the munic- ipal campaign. The owners, nor the editor, of the Daily Pioneer are candidates for any office. The Pioneer may have its own personal opinion, rightfully entitled a8 anyone, but does not propose to vent any spleen personzlly upon any who aspire to a public office, and doesn’t propose to allow its columns to be 50 used by any outsiders to air their personal grievances. We do not invite any “mud-slinging” articles from anyone with the customary “You can sign my name to it,” which argues no point and are of no interest except to the one who has “‘gotten it off his chest.” In other words, THE PIONEER DOES NOT INTEND TO BE USED AS A CATSPAW TO PULL SOMEONE’S CHESTNUT OUT OF THE POLIT- ICAL FIRE. If the Pioneer has anything to say it will say it and does not believe it needs any ‘“expert” advice. The Ploneer is alone respomsible for its utterances a1 d fully capable of taking care of its self, and will not provide a vehicle for any personal abuse of one person at the hands of another. The candidates for the various offices to be filled at the coming spring election have announced themselves in the regular manper. They are all well known to the voters of Bemidji. Any voter who is not familiar with the candidates and their records should ascertain their relative merits be- fore casting his ballot—a simple matter. Any person has the right to aspire for an office—his great American privilege under our form of gov- ernment—and the Pioneer believes the voting citizenship of Bemidji is of sufficient intelligence to select whom they want to represent thm. TO0 MANY MIDDLE MEN Says a leading southern agricultural paper: “Fifteen just plain Mississippi farmers got together without any frills and shipped a carload of very ordinary hogs to St. Louls, getting as high as ten cents a pound live weight for them.” This item tells a tale that should be of deep interest to every farmer who has anything to sell. Why should it be thought necessary that everything produced on the farms of our country should go through the hands of half a dozen middle men before it reaches the consumer? Take the case in point. Ordinarily these farmers would have sold to a small stock jobber, he to a shipper, he to another go-between at the other end of the route, when the stock would possibly have reached the packers for whom it was intended. The action of those Mississippi farmers is to be commended. The farm- ers of this community might do well to afford a like opportunity for com- mendation. They would get more for their products and the ultimate consumer in the end would pay less for the necessities of life. There are too many middle men. And middle men are expensive and in many cases wholly unnecessary. We happened to be on the toboggan slide Sunday and were wending our way back after a delightful ride down the incline, as were several others. A toboggan load happened to spill in front of us and one young lady’s feet did a sort of aeroplane stunt. Some fellow nearby laughed and when the young lady regained her feet she gave him what might be called a “dirty look,” and indignantly exclaimed: < “I've seen enough of you to know that you're no gentleman!” And, confidentially, do you know we thought the same thing about the young lady. The new editor of the Bemidji Pioneer seems to be “after” members of the city instead of county government. That much appears evident by perusing the double-barreled editorials, slugged with many wads of cap letters, aiming at somebody or bodies who have set themselves up to be greater than the powers that created them. Go to ’em, Bro. Carson; we’ll hold your coat!—Williams Northern Light. If you were in a game of poker and had “called,” what would you ex- pect the other player to do? Certainly. That's all there is to it. That’s all the taxpayers expect of their public officials—lay the cards on the table where everybody can get a look at ’em. . A dispatch yesterday in the Pioneer contained the information that the cruiser Milwaukee was a total loss on a reef off the California coast. ‘We never knew before that there was a cruiser Milwaukee, but have heard of several schooners by that name. Poor Koochiching county! First it’s the ditch grafters and crooked county officials, and now it’s the .. W. W. that has come to afflict her.— ‘Williams- Northern Light. Which would you rather deal with, brother? So would we. After kicking the dog, the only appropriate thing left for you to do is to go out in the back yard and kick yourself. We have you, Stephen, but the only thing hot air ever kept afloat, that we know of, is a balloon. There is one sure way to make a success of anything you undertake. Simply go ahead and make it. ‘When peace is declared those American “war brides” will resemble @ bunch of old hens. — THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER TUESDAY.

There is only one way to cure catarrhzl deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur- faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system, ‘We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine.
