JUST WHAT WE'VE BEEN HARPING ON That story in yesterday’s Pioneer as to what is “in the air” for Bemidji this year, incomplete as.it was, only goes to indicate what we've been harp- ing oit the past several weeks and that is that Bemidji is standing upon the threshold of a new era and that the people of the city would brook no interference in the progress of their home city and their own interests. The comirg summer season is going to be a humdinger for Bemidji and no mistake. There’s going to be the sound of the hammer and saw in all parts of the city and not things of minor import by a jug full, either. They are going to be things worth while and that will have to do with the permanency and enhancement of the city as a whole. From the big build- ings which will entail the expenditure of thousands to the small cottage of the wage earner and salaried man, they are all going to enter into the general scheme of making a Bigger, Better, Busier and more Beautiful Bemidji, and in this there is no line of demarcation. ‘With the “big” things come the “little” things in the way of upbuild- ing for the city and here again enters the “same old string’ that the man of moderate means, the man in the big majority, the one whose children are as dear to him as any in the universe, the man who works hard for what he gets and has the dinterests of his home and home community at heart as much as any one, should be considered and considered seriously. He's the best booster for any city. Give him a chance and he’ll go the limit and never whimper. All he wants is a square deal in a chance to work and get his own home for his good wife and little ones, and if given half a show he will have that home and be happy and contented and a good citizen. But when things so shape themselves that he feels the *‘screws” witout getting anything in return he is just the boy to say what he thinks about it and he says so right out loud. No, you ¢an’t hand him a bunch of “bunc” and get very far with it. That’s it then—that’s all there is to it. A SQUARE DEAL for EVERYBODY and KEEP YOUR EYE ON BEMIDJI. ' JUDGMENT WILL WORK WONDERS The suggestions of Mayor Vandersluis anent the overhauling of the city buildings are good ones and timely. There is absolutely no need of saddling a big bond issue upon the tax- payers of Bemidji to construct an expensive city building when with little expense the present structure can be put in a presentable and adequate condition, and at the same time give to the city a municipal building no one need apologize for. d The structure is badly run down as a survey will disclose. It has been allowed to deteriorate and is in a dilapidated condition in many respects —not worthless by a long ways, but in need of attention. And a little ju- dicious attention would work wonders. Even the roof leaks in the hall on the second floor and the hall will have served its purpose with the advent of the new armory which will also provide a suitable place of assembly. There has been considerable difficulty experienced over a rest room for people from the country and those wlo come here on business missions or any mission whatsoever and with the rearrangement of the building there would be provided a splendid rest room on the ground floor with all con- veniences and at no expense practically, for it would occupy space in the muniejpal building and save a few merchants the expense for its main- tainence and also the city’s share of $120 per year. A little sound business judgment is all that's needed in many things that have to do with the conduct of the affairs of the city so as to have things as they should be and at the same time not crush the people of the city. -y -/'_!,' v_o EEP 2 [ F Ty i Don’t you remember that historic incident which occtirred at the battle off Cuba at the outbreak of the Spanish-American Wat When the Aterican battieships sunk several of the enemy? And don ¥o¥ remember that when the sturdy Americaiis on onhe of the battleshi ¥et up a lusty yell how the captain said, “‘Don’t cheer boys, the peof Wretches are dying.” Remem- ber that? & e R W There are some people who remind one of the little dog barking at the train whizzing along. The community of Bemidji is too intelligent and too enterprising to pay any attention to the vaporings of a disordered in- tellect which considers its own little selfish personality paramount to the best interests of the community which tolerates him and his ilk. The people will co-operate for any proposition that has for its object the improvement and betterment of their home city which, in turnm, is of benefit to themselves, provided it is sponsored by those whom they can trust and not have to wonder what the game behind it is. You can make a wager they will. Yes, it happened this way: If the handle bars hadn’t broke, the horse wouldn’t have run away, and the tire wouldn’t have punctured when the man slipped and fell on the sidewalk. Why even the ice made “funny cracks’ about it. We understand there are some new manufacturing sites laid out on the lake shore in the manufacturing district. That’s the stuff. Why not have a factory zone as well as ozone? And why not give the question we broached some time ago serious con- sideration—a paint up, clean up and stay up program this spring? There are several postmortems being held over some political corpses but we guess it was a case of too much PEOPLE. Let’s see, didn’t some one at some time write something about a pitcher going to the well too often and getting busted? Seems funny that some personms néver heard the old adage about the tail not being able to wag the dog. [T remedy, Sold by Druggists, 75c.

Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional con- ditions and therefore requires constitu- tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medi- cine, manufactured by F.'J.
