THE “DEADLY PARALLEL” AGAIN In accordance with its policy as a newspaper to be fair in its atti- tude toward the general public of Bemidji, or any individuals, the Daily Ploneer on Saturday reproduced in detail a communication of P. J. Russell to the editor of the Pioneer, making some explanations in re- gard to a NEWS story which appeared in the Pioneer of Friday rela- tive to statements made by E. J. Willits, who returned to Bemidji after a lapse of years to discover that on his Greenwood cemetery lot were interred three others beside the grave which held his departed wife. The article published in the Pioneer was an interview with Mr. Willits. The Pioneer had ABSOLUTELY no personal interest in the matter, whatsoever, and nothing contained in the article in question indicated such. % However, the communication of Mr. Russell contains a' statement whieh he credits to the Pioneer to which the Pioneer takes exceptions snd brands as ENTIRELY UNTRUB. The Pioneer is going to take the view that it was inadvertantly made and treat it as such. In the communication of Mr. Russell, which is on file in the Pioneer ofticé, this statement appears: “The officers of the association are blameless, and might well ignore the article were it not for the in- sinuation contained in the statement that ‘he (Willits) cannot make head or tail out of the adminis- trative affairs of the cemetery.’” That assertion was given te the public in Mr. Russell’s communi- cation. In the NEWS story published in the Pioneer, relative to the point raised by Mr. Russell, it appears thusly: “Unable, as he claims, to make ‘head or tail’ out of the administrative affairs of the cemetery—Greenwood cemetery—Mr. Willits intends to call a meeting of the the officers to determine what has beén done, what is being done and how it comes to pass on the lot to which he holds the deed and wherein rests his wife, who passed on eighteen years ago, contains the bodies of three other persons.” Mr. Russell in referring to that paragraph takes the position that the Pioneer is making an INSINUATION of some nature. It will be noted in the above excerpt that the paragraph com- mences— ) “Unable, AS HE CLAIMS, to make ‘head or tail’ out of the admin- istrative affairs—" In plain English, Mr. Willits made that claim—not the Pioneer. And the Pioneer is willing to leave substantiation pt the accuracy of the statements made above to any living person, persons, judge, jury or any one not totally blind. The Pioneer has mo personal interest in the past conduct nor the present conduct of the business affairs of Greenwood cemetery, but such cannot be said of hundreds of others. The Pioneer holds no brief for Mr. Willits. He is an individual who bought his lots, shown on his deed from the City of Bemidji. Whether the City of Bemidji has anything to do with the affairs of the cemetery is a matter no city official yet asked by a Pioneer rep- resentative has been able to answer. The Pioneer doesn't know whether the cemetery is a private propo- sition or a public one and doesn’t care, personally. The Pioneer has no personal grievance with the board of adminis- tration and doesn’t intend to condemn the board unjustly in any manner. HOW ONE WAS “PUT OVER” A certain city once possessed an influential citizen who opposed every worthy movement not fathered by himself. He was a chronic kicker and the despair of the town, for in one way or another he in- variably carried his point. . One day a small band of ‘“live wires” devised a new way to get an improvement through. They secretly arranged for it to be intro- duced at the meeting of the city council, with the public invited to ex- press their views. The ‘““live ones” were present, and so was the kicker. But con- trary to his expectations the ‘““wires” vociferously opposed the measure. This was too much for the kicker, and he immediately launched into a strenuous advocacy of the measure which he had previously intended to “kill.” It carried with a whoop. We might take a lesson and “put one over” in Bemidji. “Bill” Rice has accepted a position as assistant at the Walker Pilot office and we understand has been feeding the office cat until he is suffi- ciently capable to feed one of the presses.—Cass County Pioneer. Why pick on the cat? The fire eater who habitually carries a chip on his shoulder often finds that he is too insignificant for a REAL man to even notice. The optimist sees one side and the pessimist the other, but the rest of the world just wades right in and helps itself. Quit sighing for wealth. Go home, look at your wife, and then realize that you are the richest man on earth. Last week was a dull one on the European battle front. Not a single war correspondent died for his paper.

Every innovation has its knockers. il et i Thouvsands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the sub- stitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re- sult of Dr. Edwards’ determination not to treat liver and bowel complaiats with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These gleasant little tablets ‘do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, “dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel “loggy” and “heavy.” Note how they “clear” clouded brain and how they “perk up” the spir- its. 10c and 25c a box. All druggists. BEETHOVEN The Shakespeare of Music The Shakespeare of music counted Ludwig von Beethoven, born in 1727, and his birthplace at Bonn is considered a musical shrine. He was the son of a tenor in the King of Saxony’s chapel, and his musical education was begun at five years of age. Before his eighth birth- day he was an accomplished violin- ist; at the age of thirteen he pub- lished a book of popular marches and sonatas, and his music has such a wide scope and variety that many of the phrases in his sonatas and piano selections have become popu- lar melodies and songs. His entire loss of hearing did not prevent him from continuing to achieve exquis- ite compositions, and it was his ver- gitality and wide range of every form of musical expression that made him famous. Some of Beethoven’s matchless melodies are to be found in ‘“‘Heart Songs”—and enhance the value of that volume to the true music lover. This paper is placing it before its readers on terms that amount to a gift. See the coupon in today’s issue for explanation. The New *ngland Schoolmaster. Speaking of the New England school- master, a noted educator says: “For calm, clear, salty, antiseptic wisdom. the kind dispensed by Nestor to the Greeks and by Cassandra to the inhab- itants of Troy, give me the wisdom of some honest but unaffiliated citizen of some New England village lying back from the sea. Even their humor is but wisdom smiling.” “Here's an account of a fellow who took two years to make a toothpick.” “Some overdrawn, eh?” “QOh, I don’t know.
