'@FFICIAL OOUNTX AWD OITY PROCEEDINGS AS THE EDITOR SEES IT. Have you ever contrasted our American methods with those of our cousins across the water? Do it. You will find food for thought. For instance, we are in the midst of a great national election campaign. Our president’s term ii-expiring and we are choosing the man who will rule more than a hundred million people for the next four years. We will also elect senators and many other lesser lights. - It is an event of first importance to the future of the nation, yet.the casual observer sees nothing out of the ordinary. He could hardly detect that we have a vital campaign in full swing. We decline to become excited. We are making no noise. We take things as a mattef of fact, or of course, knowing that each man will vote his own sentiments, and that no matter who wins, the country will move along in the future as it has in the past—always better and greater than it ever has been before. That is America, and our presi- dent has more autocratic power in his fist than that possessed by all of the crowned heads left in Europe. But on the other side of the water it is different. A change of rulers there usually means violence, —_— e PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL | (By EXCEANGE BDITOR) YOU NEED THE HOME PAPER. A man, to be a thoroughly good citizen, must keep posted on conditions and events in his own com- _munity. He must keep in touch with his immediate environment—know what is going on, who his public servants are, what they stand for. The home paper is the best place to look to keep posted on home affairs. The home paper is in the same class with the home town school, the home town church and home town library—it is an edu- eational institution. And no one would think of refusing to support the schools. G Your home paper may be like your dinner— perhaps there may be some things you don’t like about it. Treat it as you would a meal of victuals— eat what you Iike.andgmss up what you don’t. Keep posted on the doings of your neighbors and the community. A man cannot do the work of a good citizen unless he is in touch with affairs, movements and events of his own locality.—Itasca ‘County Independent. —0 A FRIENDLY TIP. A Bemidji man writes advising us to run for the state legislature. And we didn’t think we had an enemy in that city.—Baudette Region. “Not guilty,” Bill. We’d rather see you make it a good one, get married and run for congress. and bloodshed, and revolution, if it is forcible change; or unrest and suspicion if it is a succession caused by death. The country becomes stirred from one end to the other. Business suffers, jealousies are rampant, and lifelong enmities are created. That is Europe. Yes, the subject furnishes quite a little food for thought—for one thought in particular, that America is not such a bad place after all. This country is divided on the subject of uni- versal military training. Some favor it, some op- pose it, some don’t know what they want, and others don’t care. And between the bunch of them our poor old star spangled Uncle is having a deuce of a time trying to spraddle four ways at once with only one pair of legs. : O Prediction is made that within the next ten years a majority of the American people will foresake their comfortable homes and take up their resi- dences in hotels. But we don’t believe it. The American home is an institution sacred to every citizen of normal intelligence. It affords privacy and an opportunity to live in quiet and content- ment. It is the ideal environment for the rearing of children, for the perpetuation of the race. It is as far superior to the crowded hotel as sunshine is to the {Mzzard. “Home, Sweet Home,” will endure as long as the republic stands, for without its ennobling influence we would be but little removed from the animals that herd together. I . With the labor. unions striking everywhere, and policemen and firemen getting into the game, and everyone else demanding more pay, it will soon be time for the preachers to lay aside their Bibles and the editors to discard their pencils and all join hands in one grand rush for shorter hours and more gold. The country would have some kind of a time getting along without its newspapers. Yes, we may have to take the plunge even yet, we editors and preachers. There’s very little sport to be had in paying the piper without being able to dance. e e Cheer up, we’ll soon be throwing pop bottles at the umpire.

Oliver Gordhamer, carpenter, 1200 y Ave., says: ‘“‘Some years ago T was greatly annoyed with my kid- meys. I had a weak and lame back and it hurt me to stoop. I felt stiff and lame in the morning. I used two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I have .not had any lame back since, mor have my kidneys been dis- ordered.” Over five years later—Mr. Gord- hammer said: “I have not had a sign of kidney trouble since Doan’s Kid- mey Pills cured me.
