Pab- Hahed overy Thursday: and. sent postage paid to any address, to;,l;ua OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS T e WHEN POLLS CLOSE—BURY THE “HAMMER” When- the polls are closed tonight, the voters of the city. of Bemidji will_have had their say. After the: polls are closed tonight, forget it— forget . politics. and. think only of .the officials who have been designated by:the people as their executives for the ensuing year. During the last days of the campaign there was unlqrtunate]y in- jected.into the campaign insinuation, innuendo and attacks of a malicious character, calculated to injure certain candidates in the eyes of their fel- low citizens. This was unfortunate and might be considered lack of good judgment and sound. sense on the part of zealots, who lack to a marked degree the-finer- sensibilities. which melke for citizenship of the right sort. For-them it might be well to spread the. mantle of charity and forgetful- ness:and mot harbor ill feeling and bitterness. Bemidji is to progress. She should be allowed to progress. There should be-no-hampering by disgruntled individuals. She has got to be wholesome; .she. has-got to be given a chance-in the right direction. She is theshontes:of!8,000 inhabitants, the large majority of whom are men of the right sort, with their wives and children, and seeking to establish homes: and become ;useful factors in shaping the destinies of their home city. They will brook no discordant harpings of stumbling blocks nor ef- forts to prevent Bémidji from coming into her own. 1t is no difficult matter to govern.a city rightly. It is no herculean task. Right is right-and cannot be argued. * Ofticials who will enforce the liws:for ‘ALL and do their best to conduct the affairs of the city as-they should"be ‘will find' themselves loyally supported in their efforts. That’s all-there is to it. It is simple enough. It is up to the people toi'seyl what' their city shall be, and they have the inherent right to say 80 and‘saféguard their sacred rights. P BEMIDJF'S NORMAL NEAR REALITY At:1ast it ‘looks. as if the Bemidji normal school was to become a reality, and’'that the-coming building season ‘will see operations commence. It has been & hard fight on the part of Bemidji, liberally aided by - warm and.influential friends in ‘the state legislature, to secure this sum as the nucleus of what is:destined to be. a large and important seat of learniing’in Northern:Mifinosota.: - Bemidjl was first-aliowed $25,000 by the legislature for a starter but not a.cent of. it.was-spent. Then-when Bemidji asked for $250,000 with ‘whichi;to: commence building, it was discovered.that Bemidji was in danger of'losing éven the $25;000 for the reason.it had lain dormant until dan- gerously mear the time for it to become invalid. It was then the Commer- cial club took the matter up and sent a committee to St. Paul and enlisted the support:of others to aid the late Representative Pendergast in his fight for Bemidji’s Normal. . Itrwas a.memerable speech made by the aged representative in behalf of thexnormal and- he-won. The-sum o0£:$100,000, including:the neglected $26,000, was-allowed and the cheering word is brought by A. P. White, normal board member, that work will be commenced- this- coming spring. Agaify;’ wetsuggest ‘Pendergast«Hall as the name of the first building to be erected, which is to be the first unit of the main structure. —_— CREEL TAKES SLAM AT RED CROSS . George Creel, chairman ‘of the committee on public information, speak- ing;on German.propaganda in the United States in an address before the Lawyers' club'in New York-Saturday, declared: “It {s at:wonien’s' meetings this-gossip-spreads with the click, clack of the knitting needles.” Creel is the head. of the government’s million dollar “bureau of in- formation;” and’ while'the bureau with its-useless sexpenditure:of- thou- sands upon thousands of dollars for “publicity” is generally regarded: in newspaper circles as a huge joke, yet .it-ill-becomes its head. to . belittle the: good«women- of - the Red Cross who are bending every effort to aid the government” win the war and relieve humanity. There isn’t a member of the workers-of the Red Cross who isn’t doing more to win the war than the.head. of the joke bunch of intellectuals-who are-contributing ‘infor- mation?- to the patriotic citizens of the country. P — STATE-WIDE CLOSING OF SALOONS The Minnesota; Commission of Public Safety has issued the following statement. : 3 “As matters now stand‘the general closing of saloons in this state and nation is a war measure upon which the Federal government has already aeted.. Congress and- the-commander-in-chief of our forces have consid- ersd’ the -revenune: situation; the waste incident to the business, the read- justment of labor-conditions that would be necessitated by immediate pro- hibition, together with. the effect on ‘the morale of ‘our people: The Presi- dent,: through: legislation, has-now the power to eliminate the liquor traf- &' throughout all of”the states, and, if he deems it advisable to exercise that_power to.a greater extent than has heretofore been: done,-he will un- doubtedly do so. Unless additional causes should develop justifying a cbirrse’ which' mow appears inconsistent with the present policy of the Fed- erat government; on which the responsibility for the conduct of the war rests, the commission does not feel it should act in this matter. It takes this positton- without:regard: to its own views which are clearly disclosed by'ithe icourse-it has Meretofore followed in.dealing with the general prob- lem. here involved.” —_— HINT TO THE “INFORMATION BUREAU” Speaking about ‘“bureaus: of Publie Information;” somre:of those sen- ators-and“congressmen are the boys on the-job.
