The report sent out by the United Press, upon informa- tion given out by Rear Admiral Wilson, commander of the American forces in French waters, to the effect that Germany had signed terms of surrender and the celebration resultant in Bemidji and hundreds of other cities and towns throughout the nation, reminds one of the story of the Irishman and the bull, something as follows: An Trishman, walking along a dusty roadside, happened to notice a big bull grazing lazily in a pasture. The Irishman stopped, leaned against the fence and took a think. He thought how funny it would be if he’d jump the fence, grab the bull by the horns and throw him down. It struck him that it would be a great joke and he commenced to laugh. The more he thought about it the funnier it got and he laughed and laughed. Suiting the thought to action he leaped the fence and grabbed the bull by the horns. When the Irishman received consciousness he cogitated to himself, “Be Gorry, it’s a good thing I had me laugh first.” Germany must surender, nevertheless, and do it soon. In fact inside of a week, and it might be a good thing that Bemidji people had their celebration first. ~ [N, R UNITED PRESS ON THE JOB, NEVERTHELESS. The report sent out by the United Press, of which The Pioneer is a member, was sent from France to the United States in good faith and upon information from a source considered absolutely reliable, from no other person that Rear Admiral Wilson, commander of the American fleet in French waters. And the admiral manfully comes forward and says his statement given to the United Press was made in the confident belief that it was correct, exonerating the United Press and tak- ing the entire blame upon his own shoulders. As a newspaper and newspaper man Kknows informa- tion is obtained from those only in position to know about mat- ters of special interest. The war correspondents.obtain their in- formation from officials in position to know in both military and government service, and it was the information given by Ad- miral Wilson to the United Press that was the cause of the “bum steer” as such is termed in newspaper parlance. . But one thing certain, it showed that the United Press is on the job every minute. —_— LIQUOR RESPONSIBLE FOR AMENDMENT'S FATE It begins to look as if the state “dry” amendment to the state constitution was lost, failing to obtain a majority of ALL votes cast in the election. The enactment that would require a majority of ALL votes was the work of the “wet” element in the state legislature a few years ago and calulated to hog tie any attempt to eliminate the liquor from the state. The twin cities voted heavily against the amendment. Other large cities having saloons, towns and hundreds of villages and country districts remote from inter- ference in the eyes of the law’s officials also voted heavily in favor of liquor. state, aided and abbetted by a nefarious combination of dis- loyalists that seems to have encompassed the defeat of the amendment that would have ousted booze legally from the state. 0.
