I am not the magistrate, nor the advocate, nor the bailiff at the daily assizes. I am the court reporter. My business is not to teach my fellow men, not to lead nor influ- ence them; it is to utter them. My voice has weight only as it speaks the heart of the people. I represent the invisible czar of a free people—public opinion. If I do not speak what the people think I am dead; no amount of sub- gidy, nor of patronage, can vitalize me. I live, I have power, only as I represent the people. I am the flower of democracy. Without me no people can be self- governing. They cannot become con- scious of themselves. All tyrants, bosses, kings, rulers, all who would improse one will upon the many, fear me, for I am the roar of the multitude. I speak not for one class or an- other, not for the good or the bad; I speak for the priest and for the | ¥ pariah, for the banker, and the tramp, for Jew and Gentile, for So- cialist and conservative, for law- maker and lawbreaker, for saint and sinner. I can not be better than you all. I am not worse. TRAFFIC LAWS T0 BE ENFORCED Right off the reel Chiet of Police Ripple has “butted into” the observ- ance of traffic regulations in Bemidji for the coming summer and right there he is eminently correct. Its no time to make a start in that di- rection after some one has been killed or maimed for life by carelessness nor smart Alecness on the part of a hair-brained individual at the steering wheel of an automobile. This is not an allusion to the fellows who are operators of jitneys as a means of making a living and with whom the chief conferred, not at all. It goes for everybody who is in any manner affected. ‘We’ve been the proud possessor of a “jitney’” and have, perhaps, made a big slide backward on the Heavenly road in winding up a balky main- spring, so we believe we are in position to know something about what the general public expects, has the right to expect and is justly entitled to. We have also been one of the ‘“pedestrians” and if there’s any one thing that irritates our rather susceptible mental equilibrium it is to be on a crossing provided by the city as the proper place for a pedestrian to cross the street, and so designated, and have some driver of an auto come tearing up at breakneck speed and honk his honker like the siren fire whistle as much to say, “Get out of my way, you. Don’t you see I'm And we frequently feel our spinal column becoming a trifie more humped and our feelings of diplomacy sort of fade. The law says that a PEDESTRIAN HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY ON A CROSSING and that’s all there is to it. Of course no sane person would deliberately inconvenience an auto driver if not necessary, but when a ped- estrian is on a crossing provided by a municipality as the proper place for its citizens to cross a thoroughfare he doesn’t have to run nor jump nor climb any pole to get out of the way of an auto driver nor any other driver. The PEDESTRIAN is ON THE SIDEWALK and the DRIVERS of vehicles are OBLIGED to RESPECT those RIGHTS, and if there is danger of running over a pedestrian when he is about his business it is up to the DRIVER to SLOW UP and NOT for the PEDESTRIAN to “‘break his neck” getting out of the way of the said driver.

AGAIN—CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP Don’t forget to “clean up and paint up,” and while you are about it, stay up. In other words, don’t clean up your place in the spring—giving it the once-over—and then expect it to remain fresh and attractive.the rest of your mnatural life. You can clean up today, and tomorrow there will be something else to pick up. If you leave it, and keep on leaving accumulations from day to day, it is only a question of a few weeks when “that neglected appearance” is in evidence wherever you look. And that is bad for this town. It is bad for the health and the pocketbooks of the] town. It is bad every way you look at it. But five minutes a day will change all of this. It will keep your place a bower of neatness and beauty, and it will instill a pride and eontentment in your heart that will make you feel like another person. Try it. You will feet better, and your place will look even more so. OWN A Woodstock It is a better typewriter Guaranteed for 2 years.

Bemidji Pioneer Pronounces Its HEART SONGS VALEDICTORY Sorrow and regret—these are the two words that best express our feel- ings as we say good-bye to the multitude of friends made for this paper by its great musical cainpaign in distributing 'hat wonderful song- collection ‘“‘Heart Songs.” The day. during which our office has been thronged by the great army of music-lovers who have poaséssed themselves of this work, have been pleasant to us, and, we are sure, have been both profitable and pleasant to our readers. Many homes have been enriched by this beautiful volume—an orna- ment to any library—and a treasure whose value enhances year by year. It has been praised by great musical critics, and well merits the title be- stowed upon it by one of them, “The Master Work of Song Music.” Our offer has been made in good faith— and our labor richly rewarded. The influenc2 exerted by our unique educational project will be felt for years.
