OFFICIAL COUNTY AND OITY PROCEEDINGS COMMUNITY BUILDING AND JEALOUSY. A community and its good name are built through the intelligent effort, industry and sobriety of its inhabitants. The establishment of public schools, churches, stores, offices, newspapers, theatres and all other types of business enterprises within a com- munity makes for its ultimate greater success, and if properly conducted and supported will build a name for the community which will be the envy of all surrounding towns and cities. But this cannot be if jealousy exists within the community, among the business men of the town itself. If the men of the community cannot work together as a unit to advance community welfare, if they will permit personal and petty jealousy and hatred to stand between them that city is destined to be a failure instead of a success. Recently we heard a Bemidji man discussing the success of a certain enterprise of the community which has been built upon hard work and close attention to business coupled with a thorough knowledge of the business and an indefatigable energy of the men at the head of that business. There was a tone of jealousy in the voice of the 'man discussing the enterprise, despite the fact that he is not engaged in the same line of business. He inferred that the splendid success of the enter- prise could only be attained through dishonesty or graft of some nature. In plain words he was jealous of the success of his neighbor ‘and be- grudged him the earnings which are rightly his after years of arduous labor and untiring striving in the face of financial reverses and rebuffs of various kinds. This man should have been proud to think that Bemidji has a business which is one of the best in its line in the state. He should have pointed to the success of this man with a showing of pride and congratulated himself that he had a bowing (By EXOHEANGE BEDITOR) | PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL WHOA! A newspaper reporter, who was inclined to be lazy in his method of picking up news, met a brother reporter who was as ke€h as the other was lazy. - “Anything doing?” asked the lazy one. “I have a report that a man was choked to death in a restaurant, but I haven’t learned his name yet,” replied the other. “How did it happen?” asked the reporter, eagerly scenting copy. ‘He was eating a piece of horse meat,” was the reply, ‘“and some one said ‘Whoa!’ ”—San Francisco Argonaut. P After having knocked all the preliminaries off, the next step in the career of a presidential candi- date is to learn how to squawk for a recount. There are five hundred presidential candidates now, and if they keep increasing, a good two-handed voter should be able to line his nest with two-dollar bills. About four hundred and ninety-nine of those candi- dates are going to wake up after the first {Tuesday after the first Monday in November, convinced that their constituency mistook ash cans for ballot boxes. —Exchange. s .
