Publishe wc;.;lm'y":‘m' postage aid o any sadress, for; in savauce §1.50 OFFICIAY, COUNTY AND OITY PROCEDINGS AUTOISTS CANNOT RUN AMUCK ‘It was after killing'a child, also adults, and knocking down and injuring pedestrians on-crossings, street car patrons enter- ing and alighting, by children drivers and hair brained auto owners and chhauuffeurs that the St. Paul police force was in- structed to enforce the traffic laws to the letter.and the result *has been wholesale arrests, including several prominent citi- zens, some of whom: were fined and others sent to the wo::k- house; the seriousness of the offense being' taken into consid- eration. ~ The police of Bémidji are also commencing to take notice of the spring practice on the part of drivers and owners to “open ‘er up” on the thoroughfares of the city, and even in the business district, and there have been garnered in several speeders, ‘with-small fines assessed for the first offense. Thre is no intention to causeé a hardship on auto owners nor drivers, but it is hte sane owner or driver, who is fully capable of handling his car, that should set the example for those less competent and who lack the judgment for such. There can be no.exceptions, or shouldn’t be. One of the grossest and most glaring acts of ignorance on the-part of ‘an autoist is one who comes up to a pedestrian on a crossing and makes a great fuss with everything at his com- mand for. the person on the crossing to “get out of my way.” Fact is, the one on the crossing has all the rights of the law on his side -and he doesn’t have to get out of the way for any auto- ist. . The crosswalk is laid and so recognized for pedestrians as the properly designated spot for street crossing and he is not called:upon to ram all over the pavement nor “break his neck” ‘getting out of the way of any autoist no matter whether he drives a.Henry or a $6,000 car bought with his wife’s in- heritance. -It is up to the driver to protect HIMSELF: An auto driver is also obliged to sound warning when turn- ing a corner, and this is seldom done in Bemidji and only a few afternoons ago we saw a little girl and small brother nar- rowly-miss being run.down as the little folks wheeled a doll buggy across a paved street, the senseless driver whirring around ‘@ corner without the slightest sound of warning. We acter and also heard loud-and long complaint. .It is'up ‘to car owners to recognize the rights of pedestrians and failure to-do so might unexpectedly bring unlooked for re- sults-to them. i A NEW EARTH John, the great.seer of Patmos, saw “a new Heaven and a new earth.” Ever since his day the human race have been yearning: toward that new earth, especially. Many times some portion of earth’s:peoples have fondly imagined they had at- tained to it, only to be.disillusioned when through the rosy mist of optimism the same:imperfect old world emerged. The latest effort toward a radical change of earth and earth’s people is the effort of the Russian Bolsheviki to attain thereto; mainly by a repudiation of all earthly obligation and These gentry have, it seems, preoched an absolute personal liberty as the ultimate attainment toward perfection in this life. Of a life to some they appear very skeptical. ‘Their teaching: has, however, defeated itself, in that they ! failed to perceive that there can be no such thing as absolute personal liberty without degenerating into anarchy. ~That was the inevitable and logical effect. in Russia, and it will be the same with any other nation which undertakes to put personal {reedom and license ahead of the interests of humanity in the arge. ] . Whether or not a stable government will emerge from the chaos into which its masters have plunged poor Russia, it is an impressive. object lesson for all free people, a lesson that should impress them with the fact that man may have entirely too much freedom for his own good, and that the safest course is to keep close to the old landmarks. * WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE COMMENDED? The Bemidji Pioneer is an enthusiastic supporter.of the Min- nesota Public Safety Commission and commends its accomp- lishments.—St. Paul Dispatch. Well one thing we of this part of the state can be appre- ciative for is that the Public Safety commission lent its effective aid in helping to rid the country. of a lot of dirty pups-whose sole idea was to conduct their nefarious illegal liquor traffic in defiance of all law and common decency. And it also stood by the decent, law abiding citizens who rid the country up this way of a horde of sedition and treason. advocates and in- dustrial wreckers. Nor is that all this part.of the state has to be thankful for, snorters against the safety commission to the contrary. We know. 5 ‘And now complaints come from all over the country that, in spite of government orders to the contrary, wholesalers- are hoarding food stuffs to make: a. killing on soaring prices. Will we never stop this piracy? Every hog among the lot should be promptly. placed behind bars and. his holdings be taken over bv the government. Our people can be crowded too far. Berlin mewspapers object to the tone of the President’s- latest message, wherein he assures that nation that we shall use force to destroy force. Why their objections?. Hasn’t the kaiser declared he wants no soft peace? s 23 Our.boys are ‘going across, by hundreds, by thousands, by hundreds of thousands. They MUST be sustained. Let every American solemnly ask himself this question: “If either must suffer:privation, must they, or must 1?” ) Itmiht-be:suggested that .American mobs couldn’t harm the enemy aliens.if the latter were safely behind iron bars.
