POSTERITY SHOULD PAY The burdens of this war should not be saddled entirely upon the people . of this generation. Posterity, glorifying in its results, should pay its share of the expense. To levy abnormal taxes upon all commodities will be but to put a financial and physical strain upon the people which they can ill afford to bear, for when the necessities of life are taxed it is the comsumer who pays the bill. The common people—and by that term we mean the great mass of the people who EARN their living from day to day—are- already stag- gering under burdens that are far too heavy for many of them. The complacency of congress in the face of highway robbery by the food barons is forcing them almost to the point of desperation. The stomach demands food, and often the pocketbook is not able to supply it in suffi- clent'quantmos. The food barons are hogging the substance and the people are paying for the husks. Too much of our war revenue should not be raised by immediate taxation. Posterity should pay its share in interest and principal on long time bonds. The people have loyally submitted to the necessity for econmomy, and are virtually living on a war schedule. Luxuries have been eliminated and expenditures have been limited t0 bare necessities. - The-addition of a heavy tax to this would be the utmost folly. It congress would become as patriotic as it expects of the people, then let it enact laws that will guarantee the farmer and the producer a fair price for his products, and the consumer that he will not be required to pay more than a fair margin of profit over the cost of production—by the utter elimination of all speculators and other grasping hogs. And let posterity pay part of the bill. B> SO . 1 : *" WHAT ONE LEARNS AT CHAUTAUQUA *” “What we must learn is that the Chautauqua is an EDUCATIVE in- fluence in the land, that those who constitute it are men and women of capacity, and that to hear them is to add to one’s store of information and to brush up one’s ideals and ambitions. The moving picture‘ canvas presents every form of human delinquency as well as human virtues and films have a mighty influence for good or ill on those who see them. But as an entertainment the films are obviously inferior to the Chautauqua, since the latter presents only picked talent with established reputation and the power to appeal to those who patronize it. This year’s program has many noteworthy names conspicuous in intellectual spheres, and it would be a pity if we failed to manifest due appreciation not only of them but of those of our citizens whose public spirit enables us to share in the feast. At least our educational institutions, upon which we depend for our standing in the world, should be well represented, since it is eventful in the young life of the student to come in contact with men and women whose names are household words and whose achievements in some in- stances have become historically noteworthy. May we not hope in the circumstances that this year’s Chautauqua will enjoy a banner attend- ance?” The citizens of Blackduck through the columns of the Pioneer wish to extend our citizens a cordial invitation to celebrate the Fourth of July with them. The invitation states that this is their first opportunity to do this as in former years Bemidji has always celebrated at home, and acquitted themselves as splendid hosts to Blackduck visitors, and, wish to take this opportunity to repay in a measure for former entertainments. ‘We assure the citizens of Blackduck that their very kind invitation is accepted and appreciated. Bemidji will certainly be represented, and we hope in goodly numbers. Tiring of ever recurring attempts to gouge, the secretary of the navy ordered the coal, oil and steel men to make immediate deliveries to the government at a price to be fixed by the president. Good!

Art Drama, is an adaptation of a novel by Upton Sin- clafr, known chiefly for his expose of the conditions existing in stock yards, published under the title of “The Jungle.” To the influence of this mnovel is largely traceable the pure foods act which was passed at the time. Mr. Sinclair always writes with the idea of reforming some glaring dishonesty or unwholesomeness in our social system. Unlike most re- formers, however, he knows how to tell a thrilling and dramatic story. In “The Adventurer,” while he has made a fearless attack on modern charitable institutions and | their grafting methods,.- he has neverthe- less constructed an adventure tale filled with mystery and surprise.

One of these was called Jachin and the other Boaz. TUSETH SCHOOL OF MUSIC Teachers of Violin. Piano and Band Instruments Phone 683-W 116 3d St. Kidney Disorder. (BY DR. V. M. PIERCE) “The most simple methods are usually ithe most effective ones when treati any disorder of the human system. The mere drinking a cup of hot water each morning, plenty of pure water all day, and a little Anuric before every meal has been found the most effective means of overcoming kidney trouble. Death would occur if the kidneys did not work day and night in separating poisons and uric acid from the blood. The danger siimls are backache, depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irritability, headaches, chilliness, rheumatic twinges, swollen joints or gout. Since it is such a simple matter to step into your favorite drug store and obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly desires to regain health and new life will waste no time in beginning this treatment.

Every non-golfer and many golfers, too, will have hearty sympathy for the poor little caddie in this story from the New York Tribune. The golfer who was employing him was playing very badly, and the caddie lay down on the grass at one point and watched him. When the man had got the ball out of the bunker he glanced.toward the boy. . “You must be tired,” he said, “lying down at this time of day.” “I ain't tired of carrying,” said the boy, “but I am tired of counting.” Optometry Has made it possible for every person requiring glasses to se- cure such as are best suited to his eye needs without risk, an- noyance or detention from business and at the minimum price consistent with good ser- vice.
