It is expected parliament will ratify the treaty late in July. “We have waited forty-nine years for this moment,” ex- claimed Premier Clemenceau as he opened the fateful dispatch announcing that Germany would sign the treaty. “For forty-nine years,” he continued, “the mailed first of the reitre (German trooper) who has governed Germany- has menaced the world. Whether the man’s name was Bismarck or William II it was still the same reitre of the Middle Ages surrounded by soldiery and drunk with pride. “Be careful; keep your powder dry. Be careful ; remind . the world that it is living on a barrel of that powder. “This reitre’s dogma that might is right, that a statc’s only obligation is its own interest, that treaties do not exist when they clash with the interest of a state and get rich by any means. We know from winesses who were at the side of William II that when he learned of the Sarajevo tragedy, he whq posed as a keeper of the peace cried: ‘The hour has struck. Now we shall see what an army is.’” o IT BEGINS AT HOME. The mandatory system is excellent. If there are half- civilized or half-settled countries or colonies which cannot protect themselves, or from whom other races need protection, it is practical to entrust this responsibility to those who are qualified to establish a protectorate which will deserve the name. If the function consists in benevolent policing, by all means let it be benevolent, but let it be efficient. Resources and specialized experience will be factors—but so will geo- graphical propinquity. The French and British seem anxtous to sxdestep an irk- some duty in policing Turkey. It will be an unconscionably awkward task for someone. Like many awkward tasks, it seems to be regarded as a likely prequisite for Uncle Sam. And Uncle Sam has not ye{) shown a sufficiently positive disinclination to assume the responsibility. He should do so in specific terms. At such a distance from home, the expense and labor would be terrific. |, And it would mean a corresponding prportion of energy and vigilance substracted from the work of policing southern Texas. To save Americans from Mexicans is just as worthy a task as to save Armenians from Turks. 0. WHO’S WHO It would seem as if the self determination of the smaller nations, or peoples, was to be more than a mere political pro- cess, for there seems to be names only just heard of peoples that are seeking this same self determination. It is generally known who the Croations are, and perhaps the Jugo-Slavs, Lithuanians, Bosnians, Sengalese, Koreans, etc., but the per- plexities are found in the mysteries of their exact political status. The Koreans have just put in a claim for self determ- ination, one of the chief reasons being that they are Christians. Perhaps many are. They claim also a political basis and both seem as good as some heard of recently. The task of re-charting the world goes on, and is becom- ing more complex and diversified. The outcome is a matter for sober thought. ) o BE A BOOSTER FOR THE EDITORS. Tomorrow is the first day of the big three days’ program of the Northern Minnesota Editorial association and there will be leading newspaper men from throughout the state and many men of prominence in a political way present. Owners of autos would confer a big favor if they could meet some of the trains Friday and Saturday and convey some of the visitors to Birchmont. Any who will do this should notify R. L. Given, president of the Bemidji association. Let everybody be a booster while the editors are here. They'ra an appreciative bunch of individuals and good boosters for the city that makes an effort to demonstrate it’s glad they were there. O When President Wilson arrives in New York he will com- mence a tour of the nation to boost the adoption of the peace treaty. We expect that only the most important centers will be visited: What we don’t know about the peace treaty and what its future is considerable, but we hope it will work out to the satlsfactlon of everybody concerned. 0.

Things are not so worse as they might be around here. Geese and ducks are selling for $60 apiece in Budapest, according to a report. . e W Fergus Falls is determined 'to rise greater than ever. That’s the spirit, Fergus Falls. You can do it. —o0 The roar of our guns in Mexico is bemg heard ’round the world. NEWS OF THE THEATERS REX THEATRE TON’IGHT Tonight at the Rex will be shown a First National feature, with an all- star cast ~ including Lois 'Wilson, George Fisher ‘and Josephine Whit- tell in the production de luxc ‘“‘Ali- mony,”’ a story of real life, written by an old court reporter. It was during the recent fire, when the Rex was destroyed, that tha press notices of several of the features booked in advance by the -Rex -were burned and’' this was a fact in.re- gard to this motion.picture feature. However, the picture incorporation producing it speaks for its mérit and should be seen. Pearl White in “The Lightning Raider”” will be an added attraction. REX TOMORROW. William S. Hart will bé the fea- ture of the Rex tomorrow, supported by Enid Markey in “The Hell Hound of Alaska,” a° five-part play filled ’ ‘| with thrills and gripping scenes. This is a W. H. production and was produced by Thomas H. Ince. SURROUNDED BY MORTGAGES. Toby Watkins is the all-around drudge on his uncle's farm—a twen- ty acre patch of black mud entirely surrounded by mortgages. This is the opening sentence from Julien Josephson’s scenario, ““String Beans,” Ray in his Paramdunt picture which will again be shown at the Klko theatre t{mlght In highly conden- sed form'it presents a vivid picture of the story’s opening scene8. Toby Watkins is the sort ¢f coun- try boy, brave, humorous and thor- oughly human, that all Charles Ray’s admirers like to see him portray. It is stated, that Ray’s handling of the role of Toby Watkins will rank as- one of the best screen portraits. Excellent support is provided by Jane Novak, John P. Lockney, Don- ald McDonald, Al Filson and Otto Hoffman: JUNE ELVIDGE TOMORROW. June Elvidge, the charming World- pictures star, is coming on Friday ‘o the Elko theatre in ‘“The Social Pir- ate,” a striking new production in which she is seen to splendid advant- age. This is an unusual, entertain- ing, interesting and thoroughly de- lightful picture. RARE MOUNTAIN SCENERY. Rare mountain scenery, wild and rugged, is pictured in “Silent Strength,” the Vitagraph Star Series Release, which.will be the attraction in the Grand theatre tonight only. Director Paul Scardon took his com- pany into the wildest sections of New York and New England, where most of the big scenes in the feature were filmed with strlkingly eflectlve result. Harry T. Morey is the star in the fascinating romance based on the most amazing instance of double identity in the realm of fiction, and he is supported by Rebert Gaillard, Betty Blythe, Bernard Siegel, Her- bert Pattee, and James Costello. Pathe ‘Weekly News and ‘“Topics of the Day,” the . latest thing in movics, produced by “The Literary Digest’’ magazine, completes the pro- gram. CHAPLIN DOES A HIGH DIVE. Charlie Chaplin narrowly escapes a bad fall in_a scene from ‘A Night in the Show,” the Essanay-Chaplin comedy now being shown. As abum in the gallery he takes objections to the musical cacophony of a pair of would-he Carusos and plasters themr with ice cream cones. His foot slips and h. tumbles over the railing. One of the spectators catches his foot, however. and he is held suspended in mid-air until help arrives. ‘‘A Night in the Show,” will be shown Saturday and Sunday at the Grand theatre with “Diana of the’Green Van,’ ’l‘HE BEMIDJI DAlLY’ PIONEER which serves to introduce Charles | THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1919" ___-_——-——-—-—,. five-part picturization of the story as it appeared in the Saturday Evening Post.
