The militarists of Japan have suffered a decisive reverse, and have been snowed under by the peace party. The latter favors adopting the American plan of not inter- fering in the internal affairs of Russia and China, other than to keep certain necessary railways open. The militarists of Japan have long desired war with the United States, with a view to securing a strong foothold on the ‘American west coast. .The peace party opposed antagonizing us, and they have won. This defeat of the miltarists' may lead to years of peace ‘and good will between the two governments, and for a time at least it removes the imminent menace of a disastrous war with the brown men. It should not, however, lead us into the error of neglect- ing our national defenses. . e - A juicy bone séldom remains long in the possession of a dog without teeth. ———0— YULETIDE SPIRIT EVIDENT IN BEMIDJL The yuletide spirit prevailed in Bemidji Christmas day and in many homes the Christmas tree and green decorations dominated the interior of the houses where homage was paid to the anniversary. Christmas dinners were served in number- less homes for friends and relatives of the immediate vicinity and also large numbers of relatives and friends and relatives from other cities and towns, while colleges and universities con- tributed their share of home comers of the student corps, resi- dents of Bemidji. The_ merchants of the city had an exceptionally good holi- day business, many shoppers coming from surruonding towns and villages and from the rural districts, and the buying was one of the largest in dependable gifts in the history of business on a similar occasion. Bemidji merchants catered specxa]ly to the spirit of the day and every one reports a splen- did patronage, Santg Claus was good to Bemidji. : Sl WILSON MAKES RAIL DECISION. ;. President Wilson has held up the return of the railroads !:o their owriers until March 1, and the express companies are ‘included in the order. The president holds that-congress has not taken action to enact remedial legislation and this was cited by Wx}llson as his reason. : .

The story has a lot of act- ion, heaps of love interest, suspense galore and that ever looked for ulti- mate justification, or in other wards, ‘the happy ending. To win his point ‘Doug.” is compelled to go through no end of hazardous ‘stunts of the most exceptional order, keeping his followers on edge all the time. Not too muchcredit can be given him for the enormity of his settings, and no one will ever forget the wonderful scenes of floding of the little town, all of which was constructed for the occasion. Neal Hart will also be seen in a two reel western. BRIGHT COMEDRY Unusual interest will be taken in the showing of “The Accidental Hon- eymoon” at the Rex ~theatre mnext . NEWS OF THE THEATERS FAIRBANKS—REX. . The management of the Rex the- ‘atre has had every assurance from the . ;United Artists Corporation that the “production made by Douglas Fair- ‘banks, to be shown at the Rex to- ‘night and Sunday is the most elabor- “ate, costly and stupendous picture he ,has ever turned out from his Californ- ‘na_studio. . ,. From start to finish ‘“When the i'Clouds Roll By” is a typical Fair- {hanks’ production, splendid in its ev- i e A e e L|in which this western character is Tuesday and Wednesday, for it is the] last picture in which Captain Robert Warwick appearéd before he hedrd the call of the flag and went to the fighting front in France to serve in the interest of Uncle Sam. “The Accidental Honeymoon” is a Harry Rapf production-and was. di- rected by Leonce Perret. Young romance is the dominating influence of the story. There is much bright comedy, some unique and amusing situations and a steady flow of inter- esting incidents leading up to a fixed purpose. TOM MIX MONDAY At the Rex theatre next Monday, Tom Mix will be seen in one of his latest productions, “The Round Up”, seen at his best. FARNUM NEXT WEEK. William Farnum will be at the Rex theatre next Thursday and Friday in one of his latest productions; “Wolves of the Trail,” a typical Farnum pic- ture. 4 FIVE MORE CHANCES. A story of flesh, blood and 8oml,’ that will live forever in your heart, is told in ‘“The Miracle Man,’™ a ro- mance of rogues who followed a “fake” to faith. All that is fine, all that is sorrow- ful, all that allures in the act of liv- ing, crowded into one thrilling pic- ture of unalloyed delight. There are: four more chances to see “The Mir- acle Man,” at the Elko theatre— twice tonight, Sunday matinee and; two tomorrow, Sunday, evening. | Do you know what love is? Go to “The Miracle Man.” It is a vivid, vital drama of human hearts, sinning, struggling, loving, achieving. Driv- ing ahead with action that grips and holds. oftened with humor so true that it laughs with all mankind, so deep that it starts the tears. SUPER-THRILLER AND COMEDY. A succession of breath-taking thrills feature ‘“The Grim Game.” a Paramount-Artcraft picture, starring Houdini, the world-famous self- liberator, which comes to the Elgo theatre Monday and Tuesday. It is the limit in motion picture sensa- tions. A complete seven reel feature; —mnot a serial. The climax is a sen- sation collision of aeroplanes in mid- air. An accident—not a staged “stunt”’—as proven by the reward o1- fered in the advertisement elsewhere in this paper. There are dozens of other thrills in this remarkable feat-| ure picture. . H Besides “The Grim Game.” the Elko will show, on next Monday and Tuesday, Mack Sennett’s very latest two-part comedy, entitled *“The Speak Easy.” THE'BEMIDIf DAILY PIONEER feature , “A Woman of Pléasure.” It is a photo-dramatization of a mielo- drama written by James Willard and presented many years ago with great success at the famous Adelphi: Theat- tre in Lonidon. This Theatre is a close competitor of the Drury Lane, fam- ed ofr more than a’century for its melodramas. E “A Weman of Pleasure,” is the stirring tale of a woman'who mar- ied to escape poverty.. Her callous husband weds her to silence the only witness of his crine. GEO. WALSH--MONDAY “The Winning Stroke,” a new William Fox photoplay; starring Geo- rge Walsh, should qontnin an abun- dance of:.excitentent, for its scenes include the famous jYale-Harvard boat race, one of the greatest of col- ledge events.: Walsh, big, handsome and athletic, is the stroke of the Yale crew and the hero of a story of col- ledge romance written.'by Edward Sedgwick.
