Tbre*Mont!u PRI OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS 2 JUST RESTING When a fellow brings up at the end of a long run he is| tired and wants a rest. He wants to look around a little before | " he takes another spurt. : | That about represents the business situation today. 5 It has been moving at a wild and strenuous pace for a num- ber of years, and now the period of relaxation is at hand. It is resting, and sizing up the situation before it begins an- other gallop. We have much the same thing at every presidential elec- tion. i " As the time approaches for the incumbent to retire from| office business interests-begin to wonder what the new man will be—and WHAT HE WILL DO. Capital always has an eye open for breakers ahead., It never goes blindly onto the rocks of uncertainty. 5 After the new president has been inaugurated, and uncer- tainties begin to crystalize into something definite, business will be able to make a fairly accurate survey and determine just what line of action it is advisable to take. ! That, in all likelihood, will mark the beginning of the end | of our period of commercial rest. Now idle wheels will spin again. Men will return to their! occupations, and the business world will soon be at normali again. We see nothing in the present situation to occasion any _alarm. We see every indication of an early return to activity.| Let us husband our strength and our resources and awaitf with confident patience the day when the tide begins to turn. We will not have long to wait. el e O s NOT AT WAR WITH RUSSIA ) i In two letters which Assistant Secretary of State Davis has written to the National Civic federation he makes it plain that the United States is not interfering with trade between this country and soviet Russia, and he condemns the attempts of parlor bolshevists to misrepresent the attitude of the govern-| ment. Efforts have been made by communists and other sym- pathizers of the bolshevist regime to show that the United States is working great hardships on the Russian people by re- fusing to permit the shipment of relief supplies to Russia. Noth- 'ing could be further from the truth. i Secretary Davis points out that Russian relief work in the United States lacks the money necessary to purchase supplies for the needy in Russia, but that the government is ready at all times to use the means available to expedite shipments to Rus—i sia. If there is any hindrance it is from the soviet government| of Russia. : The United States has never been at war with Russia, and American troops sent into Northern Russia went to protect| allied interests against Germany. The masses of Americani people have always been friendly toward the Russian people, but they cannot assume a friendship toward the soviet gov- ernment, which has done so much to bring Réssia into her present distress. It is time to give denial to the charge that this/| country is doing anything to cause further suffering to the inno- eent people of Russia. | 0- i Some people are inclined to be very critical of our public officials, but it doesn’t always produce the best results.: Men |’ are men the world over, and they are inclined to exhibit a stub- born streak when some other fellow takes it into his head to administer a kick._ A quiet talk, face to face, is readily under- stood by both parties, and if there are any differences of opinion there is an opportunity to come to an amicable understanding. W}len we see anything in Bemidji that isn’t just as it should be it io our right as citizens to point it out to our officials, but the| officials have an equal right to expect that we will talk to them} instead of about them. It is the better way. 0- Most men either have an automobile or wish they had .one. But tl_ie automobile is rapidly depriving the people of the daily | exercise they require to keep their bodies in fit condition. The! owner of a car spends most of his time in his machine—that is, | hls.sparc time—and while he is thus skimrning over the country ‘e is depriving his body of that exercise which the law of human| nature demands. The car is a modern necessity, and everyone| who can afford it should own one, but not at the expense of| hea_lth.. Take your daily exercise before you take your drive. You wllll be able to live longer and dirive oftener. -0 When a fellow looks at his Liberty bonds he feels inclined? to cuss. He remembers how they have depreciated in value! when he was urged to buy with the expectation that they would | soon be above par. But if you have any of them, don’t sacrifice them at present rates. The present high rates of interest will not last, and as interest rates decline the value of the bonds will | increase.
