W IT'S COMING TO THE SURFACE. .’ The mess being probed in Washington which shows plainly the bung- llng on the part of a lot of incompetents shouldn’t:be dealt with too severe- 1y on the part of the people. There is no use to get excited‘about ft. * The only thing to do is take-our medicine, even though it is a sickening dose nd when the time comes get rid of & horde of political pap suckers sup- yonlng to be executives of something they don’t know the first thing about. Congressman Miller of Minnesota, who was.in France knows what he is tllking about when he says the American troops are not equipped as they ghould be, despite some of -the “‘authoritive” statements to the contrary, and he tells How they are not' equlpped The ordnance squa!bble shows up 'the gama as it .has been played uld the lack of proper clothfiig 1s’ "held the cause of ‘hundreds of cases of pneu- monia in cantonments. ands more recrufts. have been called' for traiping, :also’ qdmmod by the quartermaster’s department before the probing eommlttoo It partisan politics were cut out and the ‘b ministrative purposes it -could:not help buts lmm mturs and - they: would not have gotten, into such @ mess.

(Minneapolis Tribune). The party in control will do well to take the opposition into full part- nership and confidence in this war enterprise for two reasons—one purely patriotic, the other judiciously partisan. The nation urgently needs the sum total of the wisdom, vision, counsel and co-operation of all parties. Therein lies the patriotic reason for 100 per cent effort and harmony. The partisan reason is quite simple. The huge debt to be -created because of the war will be for decades a constant reminder of the responsi- bility for that debt. Unwise expenditures will be remembered better than the other kind. That’s human nature. If the administration of the war is to be essentially Democratic—still in the partisan sense—the ‘Democratic party must be prepared to take the brunt of the blame for whatever blund- ers or worse there may be. Purely on the basis of partisan self-interest, therefore, shrewd Democratic politics calls for a liberal extension of re- sponsibility to other parties than the ome which happens to be in the majority. f THE HOMECOMING OF LIEUT. BARKER. The fact that Lieutenant Barker missed a train in Chicago on his way home to Bemidji from the Atlantic seaboard for a Christmas vlsit caused the preparation for a fitting reception, planned by business men, to go awry. But it didn’t make much difference to the officer of the Battle- ship Massachusetts so long as he once more had the opportunity to greet his fellow townsmen. And they were equally interested in greeting him. Compelled to wear tne glitter of his naval officer’s uniform, it failed to dim the luster of his infectious smile and he was happy to be home. The veneer of a stern commander in war time was removed and revealed the friend of all who know him. Bemidji has done herself proud in the war for world peace and de- mocracy. She is proud of herself. She is proud of her men and boys in France, on the ships of the line., in camp and in station and she is justly proud of her good citizen, the executive officer of the powerful battleship Massachusetts. NO PRO-GERMAN NEGROE". This is also,admitted, and. in_the face of it thous-|| men nluted tor nd- § (Christian Science Monitor). Some one who has observed the progress of events in the United States, since the declaration of a state of war between that country and Garmany, has reached a definite conclusion that not a single pro-German Negro heos teen found in the iength and breadth of the land. It is also stated that in many of the parishes of Louisiana every Negro, eligible under the terms of the Selective Draft Law, was not only willing but eager to go to the front. In some sections, when calls were made for volunteers, five times the number asked crowded the enlistment places. These facts form a chapter in the history of the American Negro worthy of being pre- served for reference when his social and industrlal status is discussed as a national problem. ! 3 Remember, Tuesday, “Meatless Day” Remember, Wed.,”“Wheatless Day” READ BEIDJI PIONEER ADS Remember, i’nuday, “Meatless Day”; Wednesday, “Wheatless Day.” ‘"FHE.
