No matter what the if unjust it should occasion no surprise owing to the catch-as-catch-can manner of its inception and several things subsequent which has aroused uncertainty in many directions. There has been no end of “horse play” in affairs pertaining to the progress of the bridge. One says one thing and one says another. There have beén allegations and counter allegations, of things closely akin to the “pick it off”” game. Some say the city is wrong and some blame the bridge company for things. And so it goes. But what interests the taxpayers is, what ABOUT the bridge? The contract was LET LAST AUGUST and there is little to show for it. There was NO TIME SET in that contract for the COMPLETION of the bridge. So of the city of Bemidji in some manner. its. It is stated the money to pay for the bridge has to come from the permanent improvement fund of the city, the fund set aside for perman- ent improvements such as streets, paving, etc., of a permanent nature for the people of Bemidji, and until such time as enough money can be taken from that fund yearly and the bridge paid for the taxpayers will have to pay 6 per cent interest on warrants issued to pay for the bridge. Taking any money from the permanent improvement fund of the city yearly towards paying for the bridge means curtailment of permanent improvements for the city in other things, and in the interim the interest is merrily piling up and the bridge not paid for. It is up to the people to pay for the bridge and not only the bridge but in all probability to defend a lawsuit as one of the results of the let- ting of the contract for a $22,772 concrete bridge in about 30 minutes, by the council of the city last August. Talk about the bridge? Who wouldn't? WHICH LOOKS BEST TO YOU? We note that some people who get out on the street and bellow the loudest for civic improvement are the ones who could best put in their time cleaning up their own back yards. We do not want to disparage the preaching of civic improvement—far from it. But we do want to advocate practicing before preaching. The indolent and indifferent man sits in his own rubbish and tells his neighbor what to do, while the en- ergetic and prideful man goes ahead and does it and thinks in his mind what a worthless cuss the constitutionally “tired” one is. By the law of human nature you must be one or the other. Which looks best to you? ‘Which IS best for the community. ANOTHER DELUSION IS SHATTERED One by one our delusions'are shattered. We used to hear the sage advice of the economist tell us to *‘eat dried apples for breakfast, drink water for dinner, and swell up for supper.” But the impossibility of any economy in the menu can be seen when we remember that apples are five cents each. “Economy!”™ Fortunately the fellow who coined that word is dead, and has no means of knowing what a delusion it is today. The taxpayers will have to pay for the building of the new bridge but just how, THEY don’t know. They never were told. And if there are any who think a taxpayer hasn’t the right to express himself about it they are certainly badly mistaken. We've been asked how the new bridge is to be paid for, how much is to be paid and how long it will require. If anyone can answer this ques- tion we’'d be pleased to give it publicity. It's too much for us to answer. A Missouri editor refuses to publish obituaries of people who do not take the paper. His view is that people who do not take their home paper are dead away, and their passing has no news value. Shake! A dispatch states that $39,000 worth of liquor stored in Georgia has been sent to Secretary McAdoo. Lord, what a colossal thirst, even for bone-dry District of Columbia. The PEOPLE of the city of Bemidji have learned their lesson thor- oughly and HEREAFTER they don’t intend to be made a goat of by any person nor corterie. A news item states that there are more than 130 species of bats known to scientists. Shucks! ' There are more than that in Congress alone A fashion note says the prevailing style for the summer will probably be shorter skirts and lower necked dresses. G-0-0-d b-y-e-! after effects.

Edwards’ determination not no let up on what tax payers have to say, whether it be just or unjust, and |to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.

They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
