BEMIDJI TO BE CONGRATULATED S It seldom falls to the lot of a citizen of a community.to b&welmmed as a _candidate for a public office in the manner in which the mayoralty announcement of- Quincy Brooks was received yesterday. It.- seldom falls to the good Iortune of a municipality to be honored with a candldate for mayor such as Mr. Brooks. The coming out of Mr. Brooks as a cnndidate for the mayoralty was the. response to the spontaneous importuning of many of his hundreds of friends, His consent to accept the nomination can be taken as a source of congratulation by the-citizenry of Bemidji, for in Mr. Brooks the voters of Bemidji will have the opportunity ot honoring one of the highest type of men in the community. He is not a politician. He has not sought office. He has not in- jected himself into-affairs in which he had no part. He has been free from bias in all things. He is broad minded, a man of ripe business ex- perience and sound judgment. His success in life substantiates all this. He has always had the best interests of the city of Bemidji at heart and has done spleridid work in behalf of her welfare and advancement. . .Mr.. Brooks did not seek the nomination for the office of mayor. It sought him in the ques'. for a man who would do for Bemidji that which was at all times best and right. Bemidji is either to become a City of ‘Enterprise in all that it means or it is not. The hundreds of friends of Mr. Brooks believe that'lre is the logical man to head such a movement in the conservation of their interests, and the interests of the city. Time was-when a man of standing and repute would not for a mo- ment consider entering the lists for an elective office, fearing the ma- chinations of a lot of underlings and political bushwhackers. That time is pmlng rapidly. Last year several prominent business men were it duced to enter the lists and met the hearty endorsement of the voters and taxpayers of -the city. 5 N The candidate with a clean record, who is capable and fearless to do what is right, a believer in the doctrine of the square deal, with a re- gard for the laws, a man whose business ability is well known, who is the friend of “all, is the man the people of Bemidji want to care for their ln- terests in official life. A PEOPLE AROUSED ‘Whether or not the American people are fully aroused on all matters pertaining to the war, there can be no question as to their being wide awake to the importance of increased food production. As the figures on ‘this season’s crop become available, the results assume staggering propor- tions. Such crops the world never before has seen.” The one item of Irish potatoes shows the amazing yield of 450,000,000,000 Jbushels, Corn is away up alongside of the tubers, and in all lines, except, possibly, wheat; the figures have swelled far beyond anything ever before known in this country for enormous yields. The result should be a source of great encouragement to our peoplo in many ways. It will tend to give us some idea of the immensity of the domain we are called upon to fight for in order to preserve its integrity. It must also convince that there can be no reasonable fear of hunger in such' a land unless we lose either the inclination or the ability to tickle our soil to the yielding. The result is also gratifying in that there now is no question of our being able to extend to our allies all needed supplies of food.. Last spring this matter loomed darkly as one of the dire possibilities. That it no longer exists will tend to remove at least one of the sources of dis- content. Once assured that we shall not want for plenty, our people will view with willingness the exportating of supplies across the waters. The-results of the year’s labors should teach one more lesson. We should remember that no task is so great but thiat with the proper perse- verance and grit it may be_accomplished. Also that there are very few achievements but may be improved upon. If we can in a single season 80 largely swell the national production, we should in the next few years, with an arousing of the well-known American pluck and ingenuity, be able to discount even that record. In fact it should teach us that we have not yet even imagined a limit to what we could accomplish. + So, whatever other matters we may have to give us disquiet, we may be thankful that we shall not hunger—that there is enough and to spare. | £ It Chairman Creel, of the Committee on Public Information, ever pub- lishes a list of names and salaries on his pay roll, the document will be read with great interest. ’ Anent the scarcity of coal, it is recalled that the old timers refused to burn the stuff because it was too dirty.
