Ave. KKK KKK RKKKKK There are those who would have us believe that because the people . of this country are not ablaze with enthusiasm and shouting their patriot- ism from the housetops they are necessarily not in sympathy with the war program. But no greater mistake in judgment was ever made. The American people as a mass have regretted the necessity for going to war. We had hoped against hope that it could be avoided. Even at this day there is an undercurrent of hope that in some way, consistent ‘with honor, the dire consequences of war as felt by the European nations may be avoided. But while this hope is in the national heart, there is also in that heart & grim, deadly determination that certain objects MUST be at- tained, even though our sacrifice equal or exceed that of the others. Our people were slow to arouse, even yet are only partially awake, but in the great heart of the nation there is steadily awakening that in- Rerent loyalty to our great ideals that has carried us triumphantly through every crisis that has ever confronted us. This feeling is not built upon froth, It is not the result of hysteria. It is born and bred in us, and is as much a part of us as our every life blood. .The attitude of the American people today is that of facing a dnty— @ very disagreeable duty—but one of which there can be no faintest thought of ou¥ shirking or evading. We are coming to see before us a gigantic task, but a task upon the accomplishment of which depemnds all we have hoped for and longed for and striven for during the century and a half of our existence. It is the solemn realization of this task, and the grim, deadly earnest- ness with which our people aré setting about its accomplishment, that has produced over the land a quiet determination that, to the superficial observer, might be mistaken for indifference. But the man or nation that thus judges is due for an astonishing awakening in the months to come. Americans, aroused, are invincible, and they know it. Hence we have no need for hysteria. *hkkkkok x « * * * * * See That Typewriter ? It's Absolutely the Best Made. Guaranteed 2 Years. Save $20.00 By Paying Cash FUNERAL DIRECTOR M. E.

The impelling reason seems to have ] been that the recruiting of an army is only one of the huge tasks before this country. There is also the huge task of practically feeding the| world, or at least our allies, which calls for much thought and discrim- ination in the mustering of our forces. It is the intention of the government in recruiting the regiments needed to interfere as little as possible with the various branches of in- dustry, particularly that of farming. To this end the authorities were convinced that the selection of recruits should not be left to voluntary action, but placed in competent hands that should decide who should FIGHT and who should WORK. The Bell Telephone Policy " otherwise, the chief executive of the city has suggestd the same and the With the calling of men to the colors, the people should take this gensible view of the situation, and realize that if one young man is ex- empted and another is not, there is some all powerful reason for the ap- parent discrimination. Those most urgently needed in industrial life should be the last to be summoned, for when industry stops the army is soon at a standstill. The time has come when every man is expected to do his full duty in whatever station he may be called. There is no room for slackers and soreheads and grumblers. g AN UNCALLED FOR REFERENCE At the large attended meeting of business men yesterday afternoon in the Commercial club rooms for the purpose of discussing ihe public gafety of Bemidji, one of the speakers referred to the local newspapers -giving big headlines and writeups of the pulling of a lot of illegal booze relling. joints and queried why not the I. W. W. As for the Pioneer it can be said the reason that it has not given big . Headlines, etc., to the I. W. W. is that those most affected have requested head of the police has made a similar suggestion. So far\as the Pioneer _is concerned it is asking no favor at the hands of any one and the “crack” at the local newspapers at a meeting such as that of yesterday did not pass unnoticed and we believe not misunderstood.
