Edward Ewing Pratt, chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com- merce. Department of Commerce, before the American- Russian Chamber of Commerce, at luncheon, yesterday, Hotel Biltmore, New York, N. Y. The crisis which has occurred in Russia is not the only dramatic event of the great war, but is undoubtedly one of most far reaching consequences to Russia and to the future of the Continent of Europe. Great as is the significance of thjs change for Russia and her allies, it has, I believe, even greater significance for the United States. e This is not a revolution in the commonly accepted meaning of the term, but rather the comparatively peaceful suppression of an inefficient form of government by the succession of a highly organized and efficient form of government. We need not look, therefore, to any reign of terror- ism and destruction. On the other hand, we may expect a very rational and-much more efficient form of government, a government which will prosecute the work more effectively than its predecessors. Those of us who are interested in the trade relations between the United States and Russia see in the promised reforms in Russia the clearing away of the one obstacle to the freest and frankest exchange of international relations be- tween the two countries. Those of us who are interested in further developing the trade of the United States with Russia should also keep clearly in mind, without any misconceptions, the part which Germany has played in the development of commercial Russia and the part that Germany is likely to play in the commercial development of Russia. In spite of her unfortunate influence on the political institutions of Russia, Germany was performing a legiti- mate and economic function in that country, as evidenced by the fact that practically all the successful undertakings in Russia were prior to the war, under German control. There is reason to believe that Germany may play an important part in the economic development of Russia after the war because Germany will be in a position to offer a legitimate service to that country. There is no doubt, however, that the Germans had failed to win the sympathy of the Russian people with whom they had been trading for many years. And I doubt if, under the circumstances the Ger- mans will be able to win that sympathy in any business which they may engage with Russia after this war is over. The United States should pro- fit by the example and failure of Germany. The success of American capital in Russia will depend to a large ex- tent on the spirit behind the .American dollar. America has a good deal to teach Russia as regards industrial progress. Russia will probably prove an apt and appreciative pupil. With the establishment of a stable form of government and the resumption of peace there is no reason why young Russians should not come to the United States for their technical educa- tion, or why American technical men should not go to Russia to assist in building up a system of technical schools in Russia. OPEN SEASON FOR TRAITORS All suspicious characters who might be opposed to the government, the Stars and Stripes, and who talk disrespectfully of this, the best country on earth, should not be tolerated and their liberty should be most suddenly abridged. This is the United States, where Old Glory is the standard. If there are men or women in this country who are not satisfied with our style they should at once leave the United States and go to the country they so strongly support—Stillwater Gazette. These are riches—A woman proud to call you son; a man proud to call you brother; a girl proud to call you husband; a child proud to call you father; a few others proud “to call you friend. It is asserted that ‘“‘man is an invention and woman an improvement.” If that be true we know of several men in Bemidji who are on the lookout for “improvements.” Indications point to the fact that the back yard will be about the most valuable part of the premises this year. About, face! Beware of ‘‘secret tips.” A person can lie just as well in a whisper as he can out loud. Gentle spring may not be quite so gentle, if our guns begin to pop. It seems to be a race to see which will arrive first—war or spring. Plant to the limit—and then plant some more. Hear him buzzing again? “Long may it wave!”’ Swat him! THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER OPSAHL BUYS HOSPITAL: ! WILL MAKE FLAT BUILDING Elmer Madson of this village, and J. J. Opsah lof Bemidji have pur- chased the old hospital building near the court house. Deed was delivered to them from the Catholic order which has conducted the hospital in times past and it is the intention of the owners to begin work tomorrow in remodeling the interior of the building to provide flats for dwelling purposes. The inside of the building will be extensively remodeled. At the pres- ent time it contains seventy rooms. Some of the rooms will be thrown to- gether and several three, four and five-room apartments .will be made. Heating will be improved and the Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot ‘reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly in- fluenced by constitutional conditions, and in order to cure it you must take an internal remedy. Hall's Catarrh Medi- cine is taken internally and acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. Hall's Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years. It is ied of some of the best tonics known, combined with some of the best blood purifiers. The perfect combination of the ingredients in' Hall's Catarrh Medi- cine is what produces such ‘wonderful results in catarrhal conditions. Send for testimonials, free. F. J.
