Often a good reputation is seriously impaired by a careless word or two said in jest and repeated in thoughtlessness. It is the same in this community as in all others. It is not good that esteemed Bemidji citizens be constantly exposed to the impairment of their good names because some other person, in a moment of thoughtlessness or in a spirit of vindictiveness, makes questionable allusions to them without the facts to substantiate such® derogatory statements. We are all interested in Bemidji and the surrounding ter- ritory. We want to see it grow, and thrive, and blossom with prosperity. We want to see it a model community. But it will never be other than just what we of the com- munity make it. If we insist on constantly hammering each other, we can only expect a battered wreck as the result. But if we remember that in all people there is some good, and look to and speak of the best in life rather than the worst, it will have a wonderfully beneficial result. : If each of us will search out his own faults, and correct them, we will be doing quite as much as the Lord expects of us individually. If a stone must be cast, withhold your arm. Let the con- stituted officials handle the case. It is better than an indis- criminate shower of missiles, whether they be verbal or other- ‘wise. This is OUR town. Let us BOOST, and not shove. —_—_— DANGER EITHER WAY. Trades unionism is an excellent thing; it is a weapon against the tyranny of capital.

Some of the finest riding ever seen in a film is to be found in William 8. Iart’s new Arteraft picture, “Square Deal Sanderson,” picturized by Lambert Hillyer from the story by Chas. Alden Seltzer, which will be seen at the Grand tonight last show- ing. Mr. Hart presents one of the finest portrayals of his screen career . and his support headed by Ann Little is eminently satisfactory. “A ROGUE’'S ROMANCE.” Surprising situations, suspense and mystery mark the action in tue Earle William’s picture, A Rogue’s Ro- mance,” which will be seen in the Grand theatre on /Wednesday and ‘Thursday. It i{s the romance of a master society crook who finally turns straight for love of a girl, writ- ten specially for the Vitagraph star by H. H. Van Loan, who also wrote ““The Highest Trump.” Mr. Willlams always is at his best in crook and detective roles and in this picture he is seen as Mons. Pi- eard, greatest character in French crimnial history, and also as two les- ser crooks and a famous detective. ‘The action is swift and the love in- terest strong. James Young directed the picture on the West Coast and has brought out all the dramatic high lichts in the drama most effectively. ENJOYED THE PART. Commenting recenty upon her role in “Men, Women and Money,” a Paramount picture to appear at the Elko tonight, last times, Ethel Clay- ton declares that she had enjoyed the Dast tremendously. The story concerns a young and unsophisticated girl of the Middle ‘West who becomes Initiated into the ‘ways of the smart set and from then -on is a slave to that kind of life. With all her money gone, the heroine per- forms honest labor to pay back her gambling debts and those contracted for gowns at Madame Ribout’s. She awakens the love and admiration of Cleveland Buchanan, a wealthy idler, who also starts into make his life more useful. ROAD TO LOVEVILLE “I'll Get Him Yet” is the name of Dorothy Gish’s Paramount picture, which appears at the Elko theatre to- morrow and Thursday. The versatile Dorothy runs a railroad in this pic- ture, and she thought she could fol- low the tracks of -her railroad to Loveville. JACK PICKFORD—REX. Jack Pickford appears tonight at the Rex in his own company of First National Attraction players, the title of the production being ‘“Burglar By Proxy.” It is replete with smiles and frills and is a comedy drama from the pen of Jack Dillon, who also staged the production. There will also be a two reel Am- brosie comedy, and orchestra music during the evening. REX—COMING THIS WEEK. Several of the best known motion picture stars will be seen this week at the Rex. The list includes Clara Kimball Young, Constance Talmadge and Alice Brady. e Kitchenei’s Dog. Lord Kitchener’s favorite dog, which he left in the hands of Admiral Grant before embarking on the cruiser Hamp- shire, is believed.to have become a good Australlan. Admiral Grant, who has been appointed first naval mem- ber of the Australian naval board, brought Kitchener's pet to the com- monwealth on board the battle cruiser Australia. Ordinarily the common- wealth does not encourage the land- ing of cats and dogs from overseas, but Australia holds Kitchener in such dear memory that one may safely conjec- ture that exception will be made in this instance, U. S, SUB BEATS GERMANY’S BEST American Boat: Speedie Greater Radius afid 1s More _Habitable:=- | RESULT OF REI!ENI" TESTS Direct Comparison |s Made With Sub- marines of Latest German Type— Good Accommodation for Offi- cers an_d Crew. Washington.—Elaborate tests car- ried on by the navy department, the results of which were announced by Acting Secretary Franklin Roosevelt, show that the latest type of American submarine is superior in-nearly every respect to the German U-boat. The American boat is speedier, has a greater radius of action and is much more habitable than the German boats. Naval officers are of the opinion that the American submarine is the more seaworthy. Of the characteristics of the two types the navy department says in an authorized statement: “New and interesting light is thrown on the efficiency of the German subma- rines by recent tests conducted by of- ficers in the bureau of construction and fepulr. “‘A’n'( opportunity recently developed in ‘thi§ country which permitted a di- rect comparison between a late design of German submarine and a late design of American submarine.. While details of the comparative tests cannot be giv- en, sufficient information 1s available to destroy the much-advertised superi- ority of the German submarine, Given Special Trials, “As is well known, five German sub- marines of the latest design were brought to the United States for use in the Victory loan campaign. Four of these boats came over under their own power, manned by officers and men of the United States navy. The propul- sive machinery of the fifth was par- tlally. destroyed or removed, so that it was necessary to tow the vessel across. “The best of these German boats was ‘tuned up’ for special trials. When reported ready for these trials a spe- cial board was designated to conduct the trials, following the established practice in. carrying out contraet trials for submarines of the United States navy. The boats compared were ex- German submarine U-111, buiit at the Germania- yard, Kiel, Germany (cop» pleted in-1918), and 'S:8,.a, submarine .designed by the navy department; 8-8. was built at the Portsmouth navy yard .and was commissioned in 1918, “These boats both belong to the ‘800- ton class,” U-111 having a surface dis- placemerit of 830 tons and S-3 a sur- face displacement of 854 tons. “In the trials the maximum surface speed of the U-111 was 13.8 knots, while the S-3 made 14.7 knots. The sub- merged speed of the U-111 was 7.8 knots, while $-3 made 12.4—a remark- able difference in favor of S-3. The radius of actlon of the two boats is also in favor of S-3, despite all the furor that was created by the advent of the German U-boat on American coasts during the war. “U-111 can cruise 8,500 miles at 8 knots, while S-8 can cover 10,000 miles at 11 knots. The submerged cruising radius shows an equal preponderance in favor of S-3. Both boats can carry 12 torpedoes. U-111 mounts two 4- inch guns, one forward and one aft. S-8 mounts one 4-inch gun forward. this practice of one gun on a subma- rine being standard practice in the United States navy. American Boat More Habitable. “It is necessary to really live in these vessels to appreclate the radical dif- ference in their habitability, a vital military characteristic, for a subma- rine is no better than its crews. “P-111 is congested to the last de- gree; she is complicated in the ex- treme by the installation of many ‘cadgets’ some of which are of doubt- ful utility and more doubtful neces- sity. - Accessibility to her equipment is very difficult ; frequently it i8 necessary “to take down. three. installations to overhaul one. “On the contrary, S-3 1s a habitable, {ivable proposition;. comparatively ‘roomy,” with reasondble ‘accommoda- tions for officers and crew. Her equip- ment is accessible and her general hab- itability is vastly superior to the U- 1ni “Much has been written of the sea- worthiness of the German U-boat. An opportunity to compare the seagoing capabilities of the two vessels oc- curred during these’ trials, and the general consensus oi opinion among the officers conducting the test is that the S-3 is the more seaworthy vessel. Her decks are drier, her bridge less subject to green seas and her general ‘Behavior in a seaway superior. “Referring to the comparative liv- ing capabilities of the two vessels and general handling there are few differ- ences and those few appear to favor the S-8. “In the reports of the outcome of the comparative tests the bureau offi- cers point out that there should be no idea that ‘we have nothing to learn from the Germans.’ There are a num- ber of interesting details in design, construction and in operation that are well worth while studying. A few fea- tures are worthy of adoption, for the U-111 is the ‘mittel U-boat,” which type ‘{s considered by the Germans as by far their best submarine.” . ‘Has| | disturbance.’ * TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 191¢ This is an unimpoftant day.

During the war archeological éxca- vations were continued at the Italian colony of Syrenaica on the north Af- rican coast, and now comes the news that what has been found already promises the uncovering of another ancient city as important as Pom- peil. Once upon a time the spot was a Greek colony, with the clviliza- tion of Greece transplanted; to the soil of Africa. The work has been car- ried ‘on during the war under‘the su- pervision of Prof. Lucio ;Mariani, di- rectdr of the archeological service of the ministry of the colonies, and the, prediction is now ‘made that the new- ly discovered city will eventually prove actually richer than Pompeii in its evidence of a past clvilization. Here have been found already statues of the Graces, a Hermes, an Eros, an Alexander the Great and most impres- sive of all, the Aphrodite of Cyrene, which is sald by certain connoisseurs to be a fair rival in beauty to the Venus of Milo and the Venus of Cni- dus. The discoveries have extended over a good many years. It may be added. however, as an fillustration of the modified joys of archeology, and the Introduction of a new mystery into the history of art, that the Aphrodite of Cyrene lacks both head and arms. The world may wonder what she looked like as well as what she was supposed to be dofng. PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL Fact Shown in Dollars and Gents by Figures Compiled by Bureau of Education. The value of staying at school is stated in dollars and cents in figures recently compiled by the- bureau of education and distributed to boys and girls throughout the country by the childrén’s bureau. . “Pfom a study of a largé number of actual cases it has been found that at twenty-five years of age the boy who remained in school until he was eighteen had received $2,000 more sal- ary than the boy who left school at fourteen, and that the better-educated youth was then recelving more than $900 a year more in pay. “This is equivalent to an investment of $18,000 at 5 per cent,” the state- ment said. “Can a boy increase his capital as fast in any other way? “From this time on the salary of the better-educated boy will rise still more rapidly, while the earnings of the boy who left school at fourteen will increase but little.” The Green Sawyer. Gen. Marlborough Churchill was talking in Washington about the work of the intelligence department, of which he is the head. “It is delicate work,” Gen. Marl- borough Churchill said, “work that re- quires experience. The inexperienced intelligence officer—and we had a lot of him during the war—is apt to be about as useful as the young college man in the lumber camp. “This college man was set to work on a cross-saw with an old-stager. He || sawed pretty well for an hour or so, and then his strength gave out. Still he kept on, or tried to keep on, but all of a sudden the old-stager stopped. “iSon,’ he said, ‘I don’t mind yer ridin’ on the saw, but If it's jest the same to you, T'll ast ye to keep your feet off the ground.'” Unfounded Report. The following advertisement ap- peared in the Birmingham press in April, 1808: Thirty guineas reward. Whereas a maliclous and unfounded report having been industrially propa- gated (tending to injure the characters of James, John and Thomas Collings), stating that each have at times ap- peared In disguised Habit (represent- ing the devil) with an intent to extort money from the fearful, whoever can discover the author of this report shall receive the above named by applying to James Collings, Cottage lane, near the sand pits, Birmingham, April 14, 1806. Marvelous Memories. It is claimed for Mr. Timmins, the Shakespearean scholar who has Jjust died, that at the age of twenty-one he recited the whole of “Hamlet” from memory. Among the professional re- citers such a feat would not be re- garded as very remarkable. The late Samuel Brandram knww by heart practically the whole of Shakespeare, and Shakespeare was only one of his many favorites. In his “Nights With the Poets and Humorists” Brandram drew from all sources, read nothing and' was never known to forget a line—London Chren- icle. ; A Plot Marred. “I hear that the grocer discharged you for swindling him,” remarked Mackindle to a friend. “It's a liel” said the latter. *“He asked me to put a lump of lead under one of the scales and I did so, and then in a few days when he examined it he told me to leave. “Did you not fasten the lead on properly?” asked Mackindle. “Oh, certainly, I fastened it right enough,” was the reply, “but it was under the wrong side of the scale that I put it, and it weighed against himself!” PAGE FOUR THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER — — True Poetry. = WHAT THE STARS PREDICT True poetry, like true eloquence, is. the voice of nature appealing to the heart with its utmost sublimity and power . . .

The Grosveaer family, that of the duke of Westmin- ster, refers its origin to the same year that the Conqueror ‘“came over’=—- 1066. The Austrian house of Hapsburg goes back farther than that, its date: being 952, while the Bourbons of France proudly mention 864, as the- date of their origin. To Renovate.
