Little more than a year ago when the young manhood of ‘America was giving loyal response to the country’s call for military strength it seemed to me proper that I should waiver claims I had for deferred classification under the selective draft and enter the ranks to help maintain our national honor. I did so, and now, after having to the best of my ability per- formed every required service as an enlisted man in the United States Marines, I have been honorably discharged and am again at liberty to devote myself to civilian duties., My enlistment made it necessary for me to dispose of my newspaper interests in Bemidji and I am therefore mow con- fronted . with the task of making a new place for myself in business circles, I have concluded to undertake to do this by the purchase of a substantial interest in the Bemidji Pioneer Publishing company and then by devoting my time and energy to assisting, in an editorial capacity and otherwise, in the publi- cation of its daily and weekly newspapers. There are several reasons which combine to cause this business venture to appeal to me. Probably first among them is the real affection that 1 have for Bemidji and its people. I have considered several flattering business propositions which would require my re- moval from Bemidji and have rejected each of them because of my great faith in Bemidji.and my strong desire to resume business activity among those who I know to be my friends. In the reconstruction period just dawning, and which will continue several years, the city of Bemidji is'certain to lead all other cities in Northern Minnesota in growth of population, in- crease of commercial and industrial strength, and in general advancement. I want to take active part in this development and I know of no better medium through which to do so than the Bemidji Pioneer. Now firmly established and closely identified . with the affairs of this section of the state it must with reason- able effort on the part of those entrusted with its management grow in usefulness and contintie to be an important factor in aiding to advance the interests of this community and its people. Undertaking this important work before me with pleasure, zeal and-pride I invite the good-will and cooperation of every citizen of Bemidji. To reciprocate fully will be my constant ambition to the end that we may together advance the interests of the “City of Enterprise” in every way day by day and cause it and the surrounding country to steadily grow and prosper. Sincerely and confidently, H. Mayne Stanton. Dt No one can accuse Former President Taft of selfish motives in his stand in favor of the League of Nations, while every- body must admit his willingness to uphold even a democratic president as against the tendencies of the leadership of “his party in the national senate. The country owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Taft for his splendid conduct in the present crisis, for it is due largely to him that party lines have not thus been tightly drawn on the issue of the League of Nations. For the sake of nonpartisanship, it is to be hoped that those demo- cratic senators who have been fighting the league will keep right on. With the democratic senators, Thomas and Reed, joining the republican senators, Poindexter and Borah, in a speaking campaign, republicans over the country will be con- stantly reminded that they are not called upon to oppose the ::ague simply because a democratic administration is behind —_—0 We love it still. We mean The Bemidji Sentinel with which splendid weekly the editor hereof was closely connected before his enlistment, Its kind and courteous reference to our re-entry into the newspaper game in Bemidji is greatly ap- preciated and stands as proof that our worthy contemporary is still guided by that spirit of fairness which we were always proud to claim for it. May our former business associate, W. F. Marcum, and our successor as editor, H. Z. Mitchell, long con- tinue to direct its course and reap the reward due to good live, enterprising, fair-minded newspaper men. ——-0 Claiming that sufficient votes have been promised to en- franchise American women, supporters of the suffrage move- ment now, blame President Wilson for farther delay in giving them the ballot as a result of his having failed to call the new Congress into being. ————0 That a giant Peace Celebration Expesition should be held in 1925 and that the Minnesota Fair grounds at St. Paul would be the proper site for its operation has been suggested and :;fl;:cijalgdof the St. Paul Association are lending their support e idea. —1 The bill pending before the legislature which provides for the plosmg of polls in Minnesota at seven instead of nine p’clock is deserving of support. There is not a single plaus- ible argument against the change. o \ . Semiannual interest is now due on bonds of the Third Liberty Loan.
