OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS /NEWSPAPERS AS CRIME CHECKERS ‘After William Dalton, the 17-year-old Chicago bank clerk, had been arrested with the $772,000 Liberty bond loot in his grip, his employer, W. S. Miller, vice-president of the Northern Trust Company, praised the newspapers highly. He said: “The boy’s picture and description were scattered so widely that he had practically no chance of getting away. 1 attribute his capture to the newspapers which co-ope rated so splendidly. When you run a picture of a thief in the pape 'land offer a reward you make a detective out of every reader of the paper, ! and everybody nowadays reads a newspaper.” Here is another public service which the newspaper per- forms. For the capture of the lad, a reward of $26,000 will be distributed. Not a newspaper will get a penny of it. If offered, none would accept it. Giving publicity to matters of public concern like.theft or other forms of crime is the newspaper’s duty as it sees it, the service it feels it owes to the public, and it renders it without expectation it specific reward. It is a fine tribute to tell newspapers that they are respon-, sible for the capture of a thief and yet that is only one of many little jobs that they do every day for the public welfare. Q. SENATOR LEONARD H. NORD ! The passing of Senator Nord of Internationel Falls deprives Bemidji of one of her best friends. It was with much regret that the word of his death was heard on Saturday. Senator Nord has ever been ready and willing to assist Bemidji in all] legislative matters affecting her welfare and the district which he represented. His untiring efforts have been spent in further-| ing the welfare of his entire constituency. He had always :LH heart the development of this great new area of country, in| which he saw wonderful possibilities. He has represented the Ninth district as senator since 1915, and he has served it well.| In' the legislative halls he was looked upon as one of the! leaders. He wielded much power in the senate of the Minne-| sota legislature. It became well known that what Senator Nord supported in the senate was worthy of serious considera-| tion. His influence was not confined to the constituency he rep- resented. It was stale-wide and the state as well as those of his| immediate constituen ‘SMOKE CANDLE VAPOR DEADLY Fearful Weapon Said to Have Been Brought to Perfection by the War Department, The Birds at Play.
