Though the war is not actually over to the extent that peace is declared and military strength demobilized, yet business stands-like a hound straining at the lash, ready for the start into the era promised to be the most prosperous in the history of the country. All things considered, the situation is the index to the marvelous resources, dauntless courage and unshakable confidence of the American nation.

The relaxing of the war spring or- dinarily produces the extreme conditions, and whether the ex- tremity runs toward activity or depression ({epends upon a com- bination of national temperament with.national resources, It is the sanguine American who is making the situation of today. When the varous captains of industry united in the mid- period of war, in the prediction that the furling of the battle flags would be followed by a wave of prosperity, the people were found in a state of mind that is a potential factor in the coming verification of the prophecy. For good times or bad times are largely mental, and when a people determines for the former they think and talk in terms of prosperity, and assure g in advance. Psychology has a large role in staging condi- ons. It is not exactly that business is gétting ready for the start, for it always was ready; it has been waiting—for what? Not for lower prices of commodities, material and labor, for the| conviction has come that the operations of the future must be based on the permanently higher price level where we find ourselves. It has waited for the stability upon which alone plans can be made, enterprises launched, activities extended. The stabilizing process is making itself felt and enterprise is responding proportionately. All of the elements which combine to insure prosperity may hasten it by thoughtful contribution. Capital may do its part by rea}izing that the sooner it starts to earn the sooner it will reap gdvantage. Labor, now the chief beneficiary of condi- tions, ean do still more by declaring’ an armistice against all inferruption of production through avoidable controversies. It cannot fail to advantage by the conditions it can improve, and its cordial cooperation in starting and pushing along the indus- trial revival as part of the great business program will increase its harvest later on. : Get busy, now, should be the universal shibboleth. Time lost now carries the loss of opportunity and profit. There is; money to be made in every direction and demand everywhere for every character of production. Now is the time to start. . —_— State insurance under the workmen's compensation act has been défeated in the state senate, and once moreé the upper branch of our legislature has ruled wisely. To have made the bill-a law, thereby giving the state a monopoly on compensation insurance and doing away with all competition, would have been a mistake. Other states are trying the plan without suc- cess. Compensation insurance in Minnesota is being handled in a most satisfactory manner for delays arc few and settle- ments are arrived at in the shortest time possible. If -William Hale Thompson, just re-elected mayor of Chi- cago, interprets his victory as an evidence that the people of the country approve of his type of Americanism as displayed during the war period, is a very much mistaken man. That Chicago should have named him to succeed himself is a matter of deep regret. His success was made possible only by the fact that there were six tickets in the field and that four of them were of major importance in vote getting powers. He wag far from being a majority candidate. ey s B i The Pioneer agrees most heartily with the suggestion of- fered by its contemporary which would provide that whatever form of reorganization the Commercial Club takes the Wed- nesday noon luncheons be continued. This feature of the club’s program has done much to create that wonderful feeling of cooperation and good fellowship for which Bemidji is becoming widely known, and it should be enlarged, rather than curtailed. 0 ‘ The world is truly getting better, and at a most grati- fying speed. Before the war monarchs and republics were about equally balanced. Now there are twenty-nine republics and twenty-one monarchies, and the former will soon be added to as there are several new states now in the course of construc- tion. The largest republic is China with 400,000,000 inhab- itants and the smallest is San Marino with 11,000. —_—0 It is nice thaf President Wilson will be asked to play the first “official” game of golf on the course which the Canadians have laid out on ever-to-be-remembered Vimy Ridge, but there are a lot of Americans who would rather he would use the time in carrying out his threat to make known just what influences are responsible for delaying completion of the work of the Peace council. —0 Those who would cast aside the cigarette must fact the fact that the American Expeditionary Forces smoked during the war a total of 3,174,871,974. And what is more the “pills” are still going over, a shipment of 15,542,794 having just ar- rived at Bordeaux. The Pioneer Want Ads Bring Results NN IR R BN ITRRUR R CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

When How, the wife of “Fatty” and Tile husband of the neglected wife arrives on the scene, things hum, but leave it to “Fatty.” On the program with “Camping Out” will be shown “Sandy Burke of the U-Bar-U,” Louis Bennison’s second in his series of Betzwood pictures dis- tributed by Goldwyn, which holds in- terest from first to last. Thrilling and novel incidents abound until the very end and its concluslon is espe- cially noteworthy. The sight of a heroine holding up the central figur: in the drama’ with the demand that he wind his strong arms around her in loving embrace cannot help but convince picturegoers that Bennison. Betzwood pictures are different. “ UNEXPECTED PLACES.” In “Unexpected Places,” at the Rex tomorrow, the well known. star, Bert Lytell, plays the part of Dick Hallo- way, a wide-awake newspaper re- porter. While interviewing an Eng- lish lord, he is, by a surprising turn of events forced to impersonate him. Many unexpected happenings take place and Dick in the most unexpect- ed manner exposes a hot-bed of Ger- man spies. The network built by the Germans in this country is shown in the most realistic way and the entire picture is full of punch from begin- ning to end. The-star, in the role of Dick, does the most remarkable work of his brilliant career. AT REX TODAY. Harry Carey, in “A Fight for Love” is the attraction at the -Rex today. This is one of the speeial attractions of the Universal people and- has been greeted by banner crowds wherever shown. Carey takes the part of Cheyenne Harry and has a most in- teresting time. At least twice a day it seemed as though Cheyenne would be captured by the C. N. M. P., as the lorganization is known, shot by whis- key-runners, stabbed by a half-breed or hurled over a clif by one of the whiskey- {caped in a marvelous smoke-screen of luck and lives to win the love of a {mighty pretty girl. To tell more of “A Fight for Love,” would, be to spoil his greatest Univer- say production.
