The reasons for closing the booze joints of Red LakeFalls and Plummer, presented by the Minnesota Public Safety com- caused by the flow of liquor, defended by a county attorney, according to the commission’s statement. = Small wonder, then, that the “lid”? was blown clear off and killings of drunken rum soaked men resulted. ; In comparison with the handful of rum sellers and liquor warehouse proprietors, thousands of God fearing and law abiding farmers and others residing in Red Lake Falls and Plummer and vicinity, as well as in adjoining counties, impor- tuned the safety commission to blot out these-hell holes of vice and debauchery. The commission investigated and its .find- ings were such that the joints were closed and ordered closed instanter and remain so under heavy penalty. The number of saloons and booze warehouses showed the farce it was ow- ing to the size of Plummer and Red Lake Falls, but the pat- ronage from miles distant was exceédingly heavy. Railroad freight receipts showed up the game in its sordid and unmis- takable light and the evidence to: warrant throttling the put- rid mess was more than sufficient. And hundreds and thousands of people are again grate- ernor Burnquist is the head. PR W WHY EXEMPT BASEBALL PLAYERS? { L. < ; Just why there should have been any question as to put- ing the ball players out of the “‘work or fight”” order until after the season is incomprehensible to the patriotic Ameri- can. There is no logical reason why the big baseball leagues should not discontinue for the duration-of the war: Baseball is ‘our national game—the game we all love— and being a national game, and a man’s game at that, it’s soul should be patriotically clean. exemption for itself ‘and the arm that throws a ball with a curve that brings down the cheers of the crowd should be the arm to hurl the bomb and bring forth the cheers of the nation. RIS R In a speech at Fairbault, Charles: B. Elliott of Minn- eapolis asserted there is good authority for the statement that. President Wilson had disorders in Minnesota in mind as well as lynchings in the south when he issued his ‘warning against mob rule a short time ago. The address was made before the state bar association. We don’t condone lynchings, but we are certain of one thing, the people around here won’t stand for any rough stuff from any gang nor corterie that interferes with their peace and quietude and the government’s conduct of the war. That has been demonstated. _—— . Among the many propositions' this desk receives is one having its inception in New York City, giving instructions on “how to form a Yellow Dog Club.” Its purpose, says the lit- erature, is fo rthe “suppression of German propoganda.” We know of several “yellow dog clubs” right here in Bemidji now but they are generally called riot-clubs, and headquarters are the city hall. 4 : TS OIS The deliverless coal edict has not as yet officially gone into effect in Bemidji and what the next move. of the fuel authorities may be is a matter of conjecture. We still main- tain, however, that if the consumers would carry their coal from the dealers to their homes, it would still'save more labor, as teamsters could be dispensed with entirely. _ 3 ‘A dispatch from Milwaukee says that Gertrude West, weight 658 pounds, and said 'to be the largest women in the world, died from the effects of a mosquito bite. Which again emphasizes the old adage, “Size isn’t everything.” —_O— There are some individuls in Bemidji in whom the order of the public safety commission, closing the joints at Red Lake Falls and Plummer, is going to put a bad ‘“crimp.” e () e e “The six safe sons of the Kaiser” sounds like the title of a German fairy tale. - But it is no fairy tale either.
