OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS | PROTECT THE PUBLIC | The escape from death of the men who drove over the em-! bankment in an automobile near the end of the pavement in! Nymore Monday is nothing short of miraculous. It is also a| wonder that a similar experience has not befallen auto drivers: at this place before. Neither side of the embankment is properly protected. One side has an excuse for a railing while | the other side has nothing whatever to direct a driver at night | when he is close to the edge of the pavement. The road is| narrow and the bank high and practically no light whatever to | guide a driver. While this accident occurred in day light,! fl}ere is nothing to prevent a similar accident from occuring at, night time especially, when passing. automobiles meet with heac{)ights undimmed, which is generally the case on the pave- ment. We may.be wrong, but we are inclined to the opinion that! in case of an accident at night at this place, with the road no| better protected than at present, the city council might find it-| self in a very embarrassing position. It will be much cheaper! to protect the embankments now. than after it has cost the city | a large damage suit. | P : KEEP THE FUNDS COMING IN L The finance committee on the Birchmont is going to become | embarrassed soon if the subscribers do not fulfill their obliga-! tions and pay their subscriptions.

Itjal- most does! ] : “It almost seems as though . the springtime were just for us.” “3Ve have had a longer sleep than any of the others,” said the Richard- son Ground-Squirrels. “Especially we older members of the family. The younger ones didn't come to bed’ as soon as we did. We went to bed last summer—during the latter part of the summer, and we're only just getting up now. But we like the springtime, the lovely. springtime. So, all of the Richardson Ground-Squirrels, hear the call of the spring and awaken! For prorases. The erection of the building has progressed well and |.we o not: stay awake long and we it would be suicidal to block the opening of the hotel by a lack | of funds, particularly when the funds are subscribed. Large obligations have been incurred and special prices| have been obtained on the strength of cash payments for the! material. These obligations must be met promptly. Some sub-| scribers have not even made a first payment, we are advised.! This is not Bemidji’s way of doing business. It would not be a| pleasant duty of the finance committee to have to force collec-, tion of the subscriptions, yet these subscriptions are as much a| legal obligation as any form of obligation can be. | Let us back up the finance commijttee and put the hotel over the top. ' ‘The contractors are doing their part. Don’t throw ‘a monkey wrench into the machinery now. ; | & THINK THIS OVER | Press dispatches have been paving the way for another | huge French loan to be placed in the United States. This time,; if the dispatches are correct, we will be asked to lend a cool| hundred million dollars to our friends across the water, in addi-| tion to the billions they already owe us. | ‘'The cables also tell another story—a very interesting one. | Paris is going fashion mad. The whirl of gayety is the live- liest that has Deen seen in many years. Stupendous sums of | money are spent on jewels, and dress, and the races, and thei opera, and the continual round of expensive receptions and en-| tertainments. i They have plenty of money with which to satisfy their! vanity or their craving for excitement, but apparently they have | 1tone for the rehabilitation of France. 5 | We are not fond of criticizing our neighbors, for we wish all nations and all peoples well. But we feel that the time has/ arrived for a just criticism—a criticism that the French have| brought upon themselves by their social prodigality when a sea-| son of frugality is imperative. If the French government wants another hundred million dollars it should apply to its own people who are throwing their| money away on frivolity. | The French exhibited a sublime patriotism during the war. | Even a small portion of the same patriotic spirit in time of | peaceful reconstruction will supply the French government with | all of the money it requires. ¢ If the French people who are so prodigal in their spending | have not sufficient faith in their government to advance the| funds it requires, then that fact itself is sufficient reason for| America to say, “No!” | Close the door to the new French loan, { That hundred million dollars can be profitably employed right here in our own country. 1 OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR o " CLEAN THE YEAR 'ROUND 5 ne of those industrious souls never out of somethi i 1 S t ing for other people to do_ is not satisfied w:t}.\ the week of spring clean-up \Edfich is ;!nvgl\?xlgl grnctu:ally every community in t}:e country.
