OFFIOIAL COUNTY AND OITY PROOREDINGS WOMAN'’S VIEW OF THE “FIRST LADY OF THE LAND.” In the St. Paul Dispatch appears a communication to that paper written by a woman, expressing her views of the wide- spread attention given to the wearing apparel of the president’s wife in her preparations for accompanying him on his trip to France. The letter is interesting, in that the writer voices the same opinion of many others. She says: . “It is in no spirit of captious ecriticism that I ask why fashions has invaded the front page of our paper. I refer to the article, “Mrs. Wilson to Appear at Best,” etc. : “At this time, when we who are not wearing gold stars, are still uncertain about our boys; when we are, in a spirit of reverent thankfulness, wearing our old clothes, eating plain food, curtailing in every way that we may continue to give to war activities, it sgex;x‘s trivial and ill-timed to bring before the public Mrs. Wilson’s clothes. “It would seem as if the ‘exquisite wraps,’ the ‘deep fur collars,’ ‘the velvet gowns’ and the (possible) ‘court-dress’ would be better unflaunted; their cost added to some patriotic work. “Mrs. Wilson enters the ‘Peace Colony’ not as a representative of American Womanhood. Women have asked representation on the peace committee, but so far as L know, their request is un- noticed. Merely as the companion of the president, would it not be seemly for. Mrs. Wilson to leave her wardrobe undescribed, trusting to the veracity of George Creel to accurately depict its splendors when it dazzles the eyes of a European public? The cables will doubtless carry much of this kind of news-—for a hungry and waiting people. “I have not seen in any paper, in accounts of royal activities, ‘over there,’ any description of clothes. Queen Elizabeth, enter- ing Brussels, is pictured on horseback, wearing a habit or uniform. The Queen of England appears simple to severity in all pictured public occasions, and to best advantage in her nurse’s uniform. Doubtless these royal women have suitable clothes for all occasions. We take it for granted and find them more interesting as women than as mannikins. “Is not Mrs, Wilson in danger of committing the great American mistake of outdressing her about-to-be official hostesses? “Merely as Mrs. Wilson, this might be overlooked. As a rep- resentative American it seems like flaunting our immunity from hardships in the face of our allies. In modesty let us appear before those who were bled white before we entered thé contest. If we had nobly responded when the Lusitania was lost!—But that irretrievable mistake can never be overcome; its shadow will haunt us down the ages. Therefore, ‘lest we forget,’ let us maintain ‘an humble and a contrite heart.” And’let us omit from our news, weighted with the fate of nations, all desecription of thztyclothes of those who are, incidentally, a part of the peace party. d “Am I wrong? What do other women think about it? And the men, do they like diluted news?” SIS T v ) THEN THE SUN WILL FADE GRAY. We’ll bet that when Woodrow and his party hit the shores of France the sun will assume a gray bleach in the blaze of the royal retinue when it disembarks, for according to dispatches the president’s wife is preparing to shine in her “court dress” when she is presented to the heartbroken and nerve shattered queen of Belgium and the sombre coated queen of England. And won’t Creel and his bunch, for whom have been se- cured lavish quarters at the expense of the hard hit American|. public open a fresh jar and use a trowel in spreading the salve as the official spreader of the administration? And isn’t it a fact that this democratic propaganda has leased for a year a magnificent hotel at an annual -rental of $400,000 per year for quarters of the huge peace force of political satellites to be stationed there? And isn’t it a fact that the people of the United States will have to foot the bills? 0 REPUBLICANS WILL PASS SUFFRAGE. When the president asked for the support of his party linesmen in passage of the woman suffrage bill he found as much favor and support as a straw hat in Alaska. Then he urged that only democrats be elected to congress after the republicans rallied nobly to the cause of woman’s rights. The reply was the election of republican majorities to both the house of representatives and the senate. Now in his annual message he declares himself in favor of suffrage. He’ll get it but at the hands of republicans and not democrats. —10 WHY WAS THE SENATE IGNORED? The senate is absolutely correct. There should be a bi-partisan committee of the senate appointed to be present at the peace table. Why the United States senate, the highest legislative body in America, should be ignored by the president is only a matter for conjecture both on the part of the senate and the people of the United States. ——0 SEEMS LIKE A COMIC OPERA. We heartily agree with that St. Paul soldier's mother, who dcries the flaunting of the special wardrobe for the “first lady of the land” on the European trip of her president husband. The whole thing seems like a comic opera. For Quick Returns and Highest Cash Market Prices ~~ SHIP YOUR £:2 Hides, Furs, Wool, Sheep Pelts and Bee Wax and Tallow To NORTHERN HIDE & FUR 118 Belt.

SOLD AILORS LETTER FROM KAISER. _ The following letter appearing in the Bagley Independent will be of interest to Bemidji people, as William Kajser is well known among the younger set in Bemidji. Before leav- ing for the service, he was in the employ of the Bemidji Pioneer for some time. American Expeditionary Forces Somewhere in France, October 21, 1918, Dear Mother and Dad: Am now over in France enjoying its beautiful scenery, its quaint old people with their typical wooden shoes; and its old historical dwellings. Of the sev- eral days at this post, we have lost most of our time by rain, but when the sun is out, it makes up for lost time. 1t perhaps is a surprise to you that 1 am over in this great country, but as 1 said’ before leaving home, my sole object was to see France. Now I am perfectly satisfied, although I have not seen all I want to see for it is 8o beautiful that when one is once over here, all should be taken in. When going through the city of-— we saw many things not witnessed in the states. The small dingy public huildings with no modern convenien- ces whatsoever, private dwellings re- sembling, to a marked degree, our primitive flats, and streets not much wider than our alleys. They pro- cure their water through a pipe which is placed in the streets giving all the people access. The streets are lighted up but very few are to he seen in the private buildings. The trees “over here’’ vary some- what from ours. It seems they were all planted several centuries ago-and have developed into widespreading shade trees. They use a breastwork of earth covered with a dense foliage of vines and shrubbery for. their fances. Don’t known when this letter will reach.you, for they are holding: the mail here for awhile, but will expect it to be there in time to get an answer by Thanksgiving. Am well and happy. Will write again in a day or two. Your loving son, WILLIAM KAISER.

AMERIGAN WOMEN LEAD THE WORLD They Have Beauty, Health and Brains “A really beautiful woman is ale ways a healthy Wwoman”, remarked one of our noted beauty specialists, “for true beauty comes from the blood and strong, steady nerves'. Rich, red blood, the fountain of life and youth, shows itself in a clear rosy skin, solid flesh, fine form and a keen bright mind. Red blooded women, wit n(rong nervous vitality, are sought after by men; they are the hope and leaders of the world. American women lead the world in health, beauty and intelligence, and their number is increasing. They have learned the value of Iron and Phosphates in keeping them in per- feet condition. The number of weak, pale, fagged out, run down and nervous women is bound to decrease rapidly, once the power of Phosphated Iron becomes more -generally known”, said a lead- ing doctor. “There is not a reason in the world why women should not be strong, happy and a joy to look upon when the remedy is at hand. Phosphated Iron has accomplished wonders with my patients. It ha restored health,” vitality, stron; nerves and happiness to whole fami- lies Tt's the healthy, red, iron blooded, strong, phosphate-fed nerved men and women that enjoy life and lead in every work”™.
