Whenever any one wishes to know where a certain place is and asks for information they are usually told it is so many streets or houses in a certain direction from the school house. In fact the school building is the center from which practically every other spot in the city is located. The streets are entirely without names and there are no house num- bers and this makes it exceedingly difficult for merchants and any others to locate addresses delivering goods or finding addresses for any other Teason. In selecting names for the streets care must be exercised not to name them so as to cause confusion as the Fifth ward is now a part of Bemidjl. e We're not in the christening business but if nominations are in order we'll suggest naming the principal thoroughfare Nymore avenue, after the former name of the village, another Crookston avenue, after the chief industry of that part of the city, another Smith avenue and an- other Joanis avenue in honor of the two first regularly elected repre- sentatives by the citizenship of the new ward, and two residents of the Fifth which no hesitancy need be felt so to honor by their constituents. THE PENALTY OF GREED In these trying hours there may arise a few who will try to get rich quick at the expense of the nation and its people. But it will be neither profitable or wise for them to attempt anything of the kind. If their business is national in its scope, the government will handle them without gloves. The president has so warned them. If their business is local in its character, we, the people, will see that they get their just deserts. There must be no price boosting, no gouging, no angling for sudden wealth for the few at the expense of misery for the many. . The man who can not be a patriot from choice must have it thrust upon him from necessity. The people are mighty and their will must prevail. period of loyalty and live and let live. It must be a COMMENDATION FOR CITY COUNCIL When the city council on Monday night voted to support the muni- cipal rest room it performed a service that calls for the heartiest com- mendation. The question of support for the rest room has for some time been a mooted problem and one not satisfactory in many ways. The city has been paying $10 per month toward its support while a few enterprising merchants and business men have contributed monthly the larger portion of the cost. Last year the council didn’t contribute a cent and the rest room encountered the rocks. The new council voted to pay its share past due and has done so. Now the council will support the room, which is eminently proper, as it is for the benefit of the entire city and a few should not be expected to be burdened when hundreds of others are benefitted and not contribute one cent. REVISE THE CITY CHARTER If the present city charter has been of service to the city of Bemidji it has served its purpose well, as its framers wrought, but it seems that whenever an important matter comes up as affecting the vital interests of the city there is usually a “bloomer” discovered. That being so the city charter should be revised to govern the present size of the city and its provisions so framed that they are not seive-like. Revamp the charter so as to obviate a lot of eternal wrangling, and so the city officials can move without having to go to court every time. By the way, what's become of Carranza? Haven't heard anything about the old boy with the lace curtain chin adornment for a couple of days now. * We are quite interested in that new garden being made on the court house grounds and we hope they won’t raise any taxes on it. Funny thing, but since this war commenced few people ever think of picturing the horrors of hell. They're stale. A woman appeared on the streets the other day with a potato on her hat, and was the object of much envy. i The stage hero is now afforded an excellent opportunity to prove his_prowess. If congress gets obstreperous, Mr. President, use a big stick—it will smash hard. E Every man admires a pretty girl—and she knows it. “I Will. Make it YOUR motto, and LIVE UP to it. Fight or produce. Both are equally honorable. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER YOU MUST!
