During a campaign, in practically every municipality, there are always many things sajd in the heat of discussion which would have been left unsaid under other ciroumstances—and often times there are regrets on the part of the one who made the statements. d But, after all, in the case of Bemidji, it is the home of all of us and ho matter the result of the balloting next Tuesday the voters will have spoken and with the announcement of their verdict it should be the determ- ination on the part of every one to pull off their coat and say “Come on now—Ilet’s get somewhere.” One of the greatest troubles with us, no more so than other cities, however, is we choose men for office and then lean back exhausted as if that was all there was to do and as if it had been a herculean task. We set a man afloat with hundreds of pairs of eyes glued upon him and with ears alert—watching and listening—ready to criticise when not once has the official»or officials received the slightest assistance, encouragement nor word of advice as to what is desired or not desired. He is merely flung into . an office created by a myriad minds ond if he becomes lost in the maze of times it is small wonder. i There are many things that can be analysed and torn to shreds. There are many derogatory personal things that could be said and MADE GOOD ON that would not enter into the spirit of what should permeate Bemidji. The Pioneer has nothing to fear in the least as a newspaper. It seeks no political power and nothing to which it is not justly entitled to as 2 newspa\ier and a business institution. It has been taken to task and criti- cized, harshly at times—even threat ened—over created shadows. It has been pulled at on one side and then on the other by partisans who have sought” to achieve some obscure point at the expense of some candidate’s personal character. The Pioneer has felt that it needed no assistance. If it would serve any good purpose we believe we are fully prepared, but can see no good in baring slips of yéars ago or holding post mortems upon the personality of any man merely with “politics’ as an excuse. L We ‘hold no personal feeling against any official nor member of the present administration nor have any inclination to do so in the next. When the voters say who they want for their officials, we believe that is their will and if the Pioneer can help the city of Bemidji by helping its officials o conduct the affairs of the citizens and taxpayers in the proper manner we believe, also, that is the thing tosdo. - There is nothing for any one to be afraid of in expressing his views so long as they serve some useful purpose and, should occasion arise, as they have and do, it will not be out of pilace to present affairé such as might exist squarely before the public, that it may know and act accordingly. All this, then, in explanation for some quarters where there seems to exist some doubts as to ‘“what it is all about” and who “can’t understand.” SEA DEVIL CAUGHT BY VANDERBILT INVEVOMEMINMNONINONIINMON NNV Rt pOEOTOTATATATN William K.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 17, 1917 “No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering it causes or how it defies treatment. 1 know of nothing that will give such prompt relief as Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, for when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub- sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable. Then again, the after effe@s of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if you use ; Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from this disease is Pneumonia, I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent _ cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublespme.” S e Gansyy Clom bt | HisServices _Are Free If you have corns—ecallous- % es on the soles—Bunions— sudden cramps in the toes or just back of " them—weak ankles—pains in the heels, G § ankles and limbs—fallen arches——contracted’ toes—any foot troubles at all—let the Scholl Fool Expert, now at this store, show you how to over- come them. There is no charges for his services.
