OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS LEADERSHIP “It isn’t so much money that’s wanted as leadership:".com- mented the Passaic (N, J.) Daily News in regard to its civic af- fairs. 4 “Leadership would soon tear down the ancient county jail, would soon. co-ordinate all the influences working for good, _ would soon install efficiency in office, would provide all public works and institutions vital to the public welfare.” Passaic is far from being the only town in the country where leadership is the thing that is needed. Nor is it the only town where competent leadership would “soon co-ordinate all the in- fluences working for good.” During the war there were plenty of forces willing to work for consideration, but it took the lead- ership-of a Hoover to round them into a marvelously successful army of conservers., 3 Why is it that good leaders are so scarce? They always have been, of course, since the beginning of the world. : But @hey are perhaps a little harder to find today because there is so llttlg self-discipline. “Who would command must first learn to obey, is an axiom. “He that ruleth his spirit is better than .he that taketh a city.” A man must first learn the art: and science of self-control, to become wholly master of h}mself. When to this, power is added the vision of public service, a leader is made. Without these two qualifications thqre can be no leadership worthy the name.—Red Wing Republican. 7 e () et SO SAY WE “We are tempted to speak a word to our merchants. We do it only with the best intentions, .We are thankful that you have placed your ad in our columns. Our many wide-awake readers will see it and they will read it. If the merchants wish o keep trade at home, they must, of course, let the public know what goods and what inducements they offer. The great mer- chants of our larger cities are constantly advertising at an enor- Tmous expense, but it pays them; and it was by shrewd advertis- ing that they became so successful, They cannot afford to stop, or else the ywould. Our merchants can’t afford to stop adver- tising in their local paper. ‘Advertising pays even if you have no competition.—Akeley Herald Tribune.: . The double page of. advertisements, which appeared in yesterday’s Pioneer, carry to its many readers real messages that are worth while. They help the merghants, they help the customers and incidentally they help the Pioneer. Can yo uthink of better co-operation than that? PRSI THE RIGHT MAN FOR SENATOR Many of our citizens think it is not too early to give serious thought to a successor for the late Leonard H. Nord, who so ably represented Beltrami and Koochiching counties in the stale senate. That Bemidji should rightfully name the man is conceded by men in practically all sections of the district. Bemidji is the metropolis. The majority of voters live-here. The honor for the past four years'fell to our sister county and we believe that they will back Beltrami county provided the right man is select- ed. We have in mind a man who is thoroughly capable, honest, consciéntious and equipped with the knowledge of the needs of £his section of the state. He would be a power in the halls of the state senate and if he could be prevailed upon to make the sacrifice, would, we believe, meet with general popular ap. proval. This man is F. S. Lycan. For the present, no more need be said. ] i Mgt il ¥ IMMUNE TO PANICS? For many months now the country has been suffering from a depression in business that at any other time would have re- sulted in a disastrous panie. Does that indicate that the American people have reached a degree of enlightenment that renders them immune to finan- cial panics? Have they reached the point where they collectively recog- _nize the wisdom of calmness and restraint in the hour of ad- versity ? ; ‘ Has our civilization reached the stage where the practical element predominates? g “Or, is it simply a growing and abiding faith in the stability, of our country and its form of government? What is your answer to the query? CURFEW LAWS + Chicago’s chief of police says that it is impossible for hid patrolnien to enforce the curfew law, which requires children under 16 to keep off the streets, unless properly attended, between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. because the grgl‘m,\t ntgle of women's dress gives no indication of the age of the wearer. e maintains that responsibility for the observance of the curfew laws should rest on'the parents: v Passing the subject of clothing, there is a lot of sense in what the chief says. Seemingly, parents have found it impossible or inconvenient, to keep their children ylhere they belong, therefore they have caused curfew laws to beé enacted in order that the training of their children mightj be turned over {q‘ the Ayoli:e.l-’ . f ere might be some merit in carrying the curfew Jlaws and providin that-whel' children' are found abroad ‘at unseasonable hours they l;n hke;‘\ home and the parents be arrested and thrown into the cooler. Without any desire to add anything to the burdens of the police, this suggestion is re- spectfully offered.—Grand Forks Herald. 3 5 i If, as Dr. Ladd has g aintained, the North Dakota' grain grading law FIGHT FOR TOGAS WILL BE LIVELY BOTH PARTIES PREPARING FOR THE SENATORIAL ELECTION OF NEXT YEAR. TERMS' OF 32 END IN 1923 Nearly ‘All of Them, It Is Believed,| Will Seek to Be Returned to the - Upper House—Some: Warm Contests Expected. . /7By EDWARD B. CLARK, ! : “Washington.—Already the .two..po- litical:: parties are preparing: for: the senaforial campaign preceding ‘thef, elections in the fall of 1922. Senator Miles Poindexter, ‘Washington, who was the chairman’of the Republican senatorial committee during the last campaign, decided mot to serve again, and Senator Medill McCdrmick' of Illinois was chosen in his place. The chairman of the Democratic senatorial committee for the next campgign has not at this writing been chosen, but shortly he will be named and the two party campaigns will go forward simultaneously. On March 23,1923, the terms of office of thirty- two senators will expire. Sixteen Democrats and - sixteen Republicans will go out of office. - It is merely an accident of politics that there is this equal division of service expirations. There are ninety-six United 'States senators and every two years one-third of them leave office. The - Republican and Democratic chairmen of the two senatorial cam- paign committees have work ahead of them. It will be the task of each to attempt to re-elect all of his party brethren whose terms of office expire two years.from now, and to try to put other party men into seats now held 'by the political enemy. It is not the custom to appoint as chair- man of the committee any sebator who has a contest in his own behalf on his “hands. This is the reason why Senator - Poindexter . of Washington state stood aside for another. Nearly All Seek Re-Election. N It is possible, of course, that some of the Democrats and some of the Re- publicans now sitting in the senate, and who have little less than two years to serve, will not care to be candidates - for re-election, but it id believed -that nearly every senator whose term expires two years from now has an ambition to serve again. There are some Republicans -whd represent states. which are more than a trifle doubtful. An extensive cam- paign ‘will be carried on in the states usually represented by Democrats but in which the Republicans now have representation, in order to insure if possible the continued service in the senate of ‘Republicans from these states, The reverse of this’ proposition is true. There ‘are some Democrats in the senate who represent states which ordinarily are Republican. The effort, of course, of their campaign com- mittée will be to return them to the senate. The Democrats whose terms of office expire March 8, 1923, are Ashurst of Arizona, Culberson of Texas, Gerry .of Rhode Island, Hitchcock of Nebraska, Jones of New Mexico, Kendrick of Wyoming, King of Utah, McKellar of Tennessee, Myers of ~Montana, Pitt- man of Nevada, Pomerene of Ohio, Reed of Missourl, Swanson of Virginia, Williams of Mississippl, - Wolcott of Delaware. . = The' Republicans whose terms expire on March 3, 1923, are Calder of New York, France of Maryland, Freling- huysen of New Jersey, Hale of Maine, Johnson of California, Kellogg of Minnesota, Knox of Pennsylvania, La Follette of Wisconsin, Lodge of Massa- chusetts, McCumber .of North Dakota, McLean' of - Connecticut, New of Indiana, Page of Vermont, Poindexter. of Washington, Sutherland of West Virginia, and Townsend of Michigan. It is probable that there will be hard fighting in Nebraska, Wyorhing, Rhode Island, Utah and Ohio, to elect Republican successors to the Demo- cratic senators now holding. office from ‘thege tates. . The records show that ‘usually the statés named have been “Republican - In their majorities. ‘i Women - Getting~ Impatient. There - are evidences here = that the women. of the country are some- what disturbed- because so few. | representatives of their sex thus far have -been: given' recognition by the incoming - administration. -It may be |, that: places for- the .women will' be found in great numbers in the future, but'it is:known definitely by word of mouth that some of those voters who recently came into their own as such are not altogether happy over the pres- ent’ condition. 'Administrative history to some ex- tent is repeating itself in this matter. It was not until the Roosevelt admin- istration that womankind began to be recognized as a possible official force of government.. ‘Women had held of- fice, and were holding office, at that |} time, but the greater positions still were denfed them. President Roosevelt appointed some women' to office. - President Taft ap- pointed more, and President Wilson more. yet. It may be that President Harding will go Mr. Wilson still better . saved the farmers four mi'flion dolldrs in one year, it is a little strang g the law is not more popular with them.—-Gmnyd Ft’u'lks' Herfld.zs o sy A ) ) The German government seems to run strongly to doctors. Another of them, Mr. Mayer, has bgén asked to form a new cabinet; and he asks tinie t over. We don’t blame him.—~Grand Forks Herald, and do all that the women want him to do in the way of recognizing\ their lbfl to do things in governmeni Republican, ot [l sife. At present President Harding seems to'bel ailietle backward In put- ting the, women forward, but there are friends of the administration who say that this condition soon will pass. The women are anxious to work for the government, but-it can be said for a good many of them that they do not appear as anxious as the men for the emoluments of office, but rather seem to have a desire to serve because of their belief that they can do good in flelds in which the sterner sex is not altogether a success.’ Man Displaces Miss Boardman. There are one or two things which bave made the women fear that they are to be overlogked. Miss Mabel Boardman, Republican, was appointed by Woodrow: Wilson as a commissioner of the Distrlet of‘Gelumbia. The sen- ate had-not rmed. her ‘in office n. her work she previous Repub- a of" ediately previous hDemocratic ' administrations. Miss Boardman’s place was given to a man. | She had served only a few months and did her work, although the senate bhad not confirmed her appointment. There seems to be some fear on the part of the leaders in the general work of women, including ‘Republican party work, that a’woman is not to be ‘appointed to take the place of An- nette Abbott ‘Adams who has just re- signed as an asSistant attorney gen- eral of the United States. Miss Adams 13" the first- woman ever to ‘hold’ such an office. She.goes out with the prais- es of the department. The women are urging that one of their ‘sex be ap- pointed. to succeed . Miss Adams, but the word is that they are to be disap- pointed. oo - Memorial Day at Arlington, Preparations ~are . -being made by the Iving-‘soldiers of America’s wars to. R thefr dend comrades who' Ile in thig’great national cemetery. at Arlington Which stands on Potomac hil: overlooking ‘the™ capital of the country. 2 2L For weeks past:there have been bur- ials of the dead of theigreat war ev- ery day in Arlington. The sound of | taps is heard through the great for- ii est trees and thie volleys in honor of the dead dre heard across the river. This year the surviving veterans of the Civil war, the Indian wars, and the Spanish_war will join with the members of the ‘American Legion in doing honor:to those who have an- | swered their last roll call on earth. In all the burial places near the capital, notably in Arlington, the graves are -guarded by .great trees, many of theht of more than a century’s growth. The‘oaks are magnificent and are holding their own against the en- croachments jon all sides of a civili- zatlon which in some parts of ge country ha: i -fatal to one of the noblest. of. mfiée&’ i P Amiy ‘When Memiorial -day shall come the "rose season Will be found at its height, and with the roses will be blossoming all the summer flowers which will have come to take the place of the spring offerfngs of the forsythia, the crocus, the hyacinth ‘and the tulips Not a Mournful Place. ~ . Arlington’#s not altogether a mourn- ful place. Association in a way makes it sad, but the breeze always is.there, the .sunshine generally, the view is appealing and-the singing birds refuse to. forsake it because they have lenrned’ that in God’s acres they are safe from persecution. The red bird, known varlously as the Kentucky ‘cardinal, the Virginia nightingale and the grossbeak, is in Arlington winter and summer. With it as a closé companion is the tufted titmouse inits confederate gray. The cardinal whistles as’'cheerily as any fife at.reveille, while the titmouse calls “Peter, Peter, Peter,” all day long and. never loses heart because Peter fails to respond. There are ‘5,000 Confederate dead sleeping in Arlington. The monument to the Confederates is one of the most beautiful” memorials in- the United: States. It-was the work of the sculp- tor, Moses Ezekiel, whose body was| brought’ from Italy to rest in Arling- ton. Ezekiel was a cadet at the Vir- ‘ginia’ Military institute at the out- break of the Civil war. He took part in thebattle of Newmarket. Sheridan, Schofield, Harney and’ Crook are buried-In Arlington. Not far from .the graves of Sheridan and Sehofigld - there IS at.rest a Southern ‘soldier of famé Who'lived to wear the blue once more after the Civil war was at an end. - Joseph Wheeler, a ‘deneral officer in the Confederate serv- iice, re-entered the federal service at lthe time of the Spanish war and died {as' a major general of the U. S. army. Memorial exercises in the national jcemetery ‘always were held in the ‘open air with forest trees as the: pil- ilars of the temple. So it is in part itoday, but the government recently, terected a marble-walled amphitheater ‘ot Arlington as a memorial to the igoldiers and sailors of the Civil war. In this amphitheater some of the serv- jces of memorial Wwill be ~held. It; lseems doubtful to many whether the !intrusion of the amphitheater into na-| iture’'s garden was altogether a justi- ifiable act of man. . ! The American Leglon and other or- iganizations of veterans of the great ‘war and the socleties of other wars in - which Americans engaged are working together in preparation for the next Memorial day. There are ‘more graves than ever to be decked with flowers, and as the years go on the number of mounds will be multi- plied, while the ranks of those bear the flowers will be depleted, == DALY PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS = THE PIONEER' WANT ADS NN N A \\‘\‘\\w{‘\ \ You Will Be Pleased If, when ordering NI - “Hasslers” put on while you wait! 5 NO need totie up your car.
