The distress in many lines of industry-emphasized the extent to which we had:come to de- pend on :German-made products. Who cannot recall the oc- casion 'of -the submarine running the blockade with a:cargo of dyes,‘and With what;joy they were received:in this country? The war awoke us to the humiliating fact that this coun try came far short-of being self-sustaining. - It- demonstrate ‘to us-that. without the: goods of other’ countries; Germany. es-|- pfcéall-y, industrial’ and social life in America was badly “crip~ pled. ‘ ; But the war has another effect. It has caused us to seek] out the lines-of ‘éndeavor in which we were defieient -andito set about to remedy that-deficiency. This‘we are doing more fully as time passes. For instance, we hear no more complaint of the scarcity or inferiority of dyestuffs; from the fact that. Amer-| ican-made. dyestuffs have fully.taken the place of the:Germani: article, and. appear to be giving general satisfaction. General chemistry is also a line in which we have hereto-. fore relied-akmost:wholly on Germany, this from the fact:that 'American chemists. were not willing to undergo the rigorous study-and research: necessary to attain high standing in- that| line. But'this, too,:is-fast'being changed, and in a very short time, if not-already, American chemists will be fully the-equals of any ‘in the world. i In fact, we are just now waking up to the fact that there are a-number of lines of industry, wherein we have heretofore been content to rely upon other peoples, that, if we are to main-| tain: our position among the nations, we must master and con-| duct for ourselves. We have been too deeply absorbed in‘what we termed the big things of life, and many smaller matters that, nevertheless, play an important part in the economy’ of life, have been neglected. : If the war, viewed purely from an industrial or commer- cial standpoint, shall have caused us to stop and gather up the loose ends. of industry, it will at least not have been all bad. 0 WOULD. CURB.NARCOTIC EVIL The State Board of Medical Examiners of Tennessee -has recently taken action that will attract nation-wide- attention,] when that body revoked the-licenses of four physicians -con-, victed of violating the Harrison anti-narcotic law. - Tennessee was ‘up against the fact that so long as these physicians retained their state licenses, the federal authorities-had no power to re- fuse license. As the violations of the anti-narcotic laws had become flagrant in that state, the adthorities determined. ony} The action- was|, drasticl measures and revoked the licenses. taken on recommendation of federal authorities who sought a legal-cause to revoke the federal licenses.: The outcome::of this action will watched with great interest all over the coun- try, as, if the action is in accord with:state-and mational law, the-country will have been shown a practical means of combat- ingthis great evil. b 0 IT CAN'T BE DONE A lot of ;people seem to think it would be easy to elect a representative to the legislature from this end of the county. Yes, it would be-easy—about as easy'as removing the rumble from a 1906 flivver without removing the flivver. But while we can’t elect a chap from this end we can name the man from| the south end who is to represent the county, and you betcher- life he will have to:be-satisfactory to we uns up here. And from this distance it looks as if Ed Rako is the lad for the job.! —Baudette Region. 0. Gee; Whiz! Can’t Duluth make a splash at the inaugura- tion of the W. S. S. campaign without a lot of hairbrains throw- ing a fit in Bemidji? Didn’t Bemidji send Uncle Sam to'Wash- ington and hang and burn the kaiser when it went over the top in its Liberty Loan? No one in Duluth thought the war was over just because we committed the atrocity of putting an endi}. to von-Hin as we did. —_—0 If Governor Burnquist would consent to allow the booze makers and saloon gangsters to run the state of Minnesota he’d be a prince-in their estimation. The :dispicable handfil |of crime dispensers, home wreckers and dispoilers of all that’s’ holy and righteous would barter the soul ‘of 'the stateifor a measly few dollars. : e : When election day comes around. the loyal Americans.of the state of Minnesota will have their say and they can be de~ pended upon to choose men who are AMERICANS "and not & horde of Pro-Huns and the scum of humanity that infests Min- nesota. under the guise of American citizenship. Aceording to a letter from Sergeant Kern Olson, in station at San Antonio, Tex., he’s such a booster for Bemidji his fel- low ‘soldiers call him “Bemidji Pioneer.” And so far as we are.concernedwe are not one bit ashamed. We take it as-a compliment to-the Pioneer. . o “The kaiser.wants $4,000,000,000 of peaceful Russia and $2,000,000,000 of peaceful Rumania.

We don’t understand how it will add to the luster of the domination of the Nonpartisan league if the members allow the league-to line up with the booze interests of Minnesota. Here’s one chance to prove its claims to worth. . 0 Steel-and copper have each given up a magnate to war industries, - But silver and gold are paying for the war. i</ werstood to Have \Had Ite . buy. it forshimiowon, musenmabut-iil of- H the exposure ‘of-the fake" tosProfessor; Marsh of Yale; in another:aceomnt it wan Dr. John V.
