THE LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE Reader, if you were asked to name the most popular man in town, whom would you designate? Perhaps you think, on the spur of the moment, you would indicate some great lawyer, or some favorite minister, or perhaps some old family doctor, or any one of a dozen or more notable personages in the community. But on second thought you are not so sure, and after mature reflec- tion you are ready to discard them all. Then you begin to cast about among the less notable ones. are “getting warm,” as the children say. Now you have located him, and you are surprised, because he is never associated in your mind with the great, or even the near great, neverthe- less, a8 you study him, his popularity and the reasons therefor are brought forcibly to your attention. In the first place you study him as he comes down in the morning. His progress is slow, as he seems to be stopped by every person he meets, and he has a warm handshake and a cheerful *“Good Morning” for all. You follow him to his place of business and see him radiating the same sunshine and cheerful greeting, and you find he is known to every em- ploye on the place as ‘“Uncle.” ‘Watch him, if he is a merchant, as the store begins to fill with cus- tomers. Each receives the same cordial welcome. To the ladies he is especially courteous, and you are surprised to see that courtesy unshaken even when confronted by one whom you by no means stretch of the im- agination could term a lady. He sees your ’surprise and—*‘‘for the sake of the sex,” he smiles. Now watch him as he starts for home toward nightfall. School is out and the children are on the streets. Here he must stop to shoot a marble with a crowd of urchins, and they hail his coming with shouts of glee. Another must persuade him to have a try at his top. On account of his avordupoise he has to draw the line at the hoop which another offers him, but he starts it off for the youngsters to pursue. A little further on he is accosted by a bevy of small girls, who are in their element as they swarm around him, clamoring for a story, teasing him to jump rope, or even rifling his pockets for suspected sweets. You see him as he reaches his home, when the good wife meets him at the gate. She has a sad tale for his ear. Sorrow has entered a neigh- tor's home. At once he is all sympathy, and without waiting to enter his own door he passes on to the house of sorrow. Perhaps he can offer nought but sympathy, but this comes so plainly from the heart and is ac- companied by such a warm clasp of the hand, that it carries its blessed message of comfort and sympathy. Now you are beginning to appreciate the true reason for his popularity. He is a man of innumerable small deeds of kindness, but those deeds are such as touch the heartstrings of the people about him. He, himself, has never aspired to great things, being content to occupy himself with the small affairs of life, knowing full well, wise man that he is, that of such is human life composed. He would smile with incredulity were you to hint to him of his great popularity, because he is essentially one of the humble ones of earth. And his great popularity—whence comes it? In his heart he has caught and held the echo of a voice from the far off past—*and the second is like unto this: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Now you Some persons are presuming, seemingly, to attempt to analyze the af- fairs of the Pioneer. Why the Rioneer? Why not any other business house or office in Bemidji? They seem to be laboring under the delusion that the Pioneer is saying something about somebody or other that shouldn't be said, etc.,, etc.—and then some—and then some more, et cetera, et cetera, etc., etc.—but we can't for the life of us figure out where the Pio- neer is doing any such thing or has done so, and to make it a good one we challenge anybody to find in the columns of the Pioneer any untrue state- ment the Pioneer has made about any person or persons.. Yes, and we'll “kick in” and help hunt, too. We understand some persons in Bemidji are sort of getting mnervous over the result of the approaching election and are sort of apprehensive over the Pioneer running its own affairs. Sorry to learn it, but the Pio- neer is doing quite well, thank you, and is enjoying the best of health and prosperity from the practically united support of the people of Bemidji, and is not worrying any. Again—thank you kindly. Why the wriggle? No one that we are aware of has even the slightest excuse to get excited over the Pioneer. Not to our knowledge has the Pio- neer mentioned adversley any person in Bemidji, if indeed it has men- tioned them at all, except in its news columns and then only as a part of a legitimate news story, properly carried as such. They why the agitation? We rise to inquire. The United States does not intend to declare war. It isn’t a case of war with Germany or any other country. It is simply a case of protecting Americans and American business and interests. Surely no one can deny that the United States is not entitled to protest its business interests. Funny when a newspaper doesn’t say a word about some people they seem to get ‘‘sore” because the paper doesn’t. Well, tell us what to say and we’'ll say it. We can’t think of anything—just now. The Pioneer is in favor of the new armory because it believes the proposition would be a good thing for Bemidji and a great benefit for the city at large. It is really funny the way some people take themselves. They seem to be under the impression that they are all the eggs in the basket. The man who can coerce another into. voting against his honest con- vicitions has a pretty poor opinion of the one he can bulldoze. 8 ’ ; THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER i THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 15, 1917° Only three more days to do their election ‘‘slopping.” And then no one will try to tell us how to Run our business and it will be lovely But kind of lonesome, and we’ll try To bear up under the burden And go it alone. But we thank Them ever ‘Good for the “A good cough remedy is one that can-be depended upon to cure coughs. that cures some particular cough, It must be a cough remedy that can different coughs that are so prevalent. le ] i the same, yet the condition of the patient “Grazny” Chamberlain coughs are primarily is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough Whole Famnly Not one but hs in gener u cl:,euielied upon for all the While the causes of all itself.
