The more the American people think it over the more fully and heartily they will agree with $he sentiments: expressed by President Harding in his message to. congress declaring the de- sirability of party action in national affairs.. We must have na- tional government by majorities, and party government by ma- | jorities. The present majority in congress was. not the result of | individnal victories merely but the result of a party victory. The | sponsibility for accomplishment rests upon the party.. The tter cannot be- better stated than in President Harding’s own language. He said: : A | “Granting that-we are fundamentally a representative pop- ular government, with political parties the governing agencies, | I believe the political party in power should assume responsis bility, determine upon policiesin the conference which supple- ments conventions and-election campaigns and then sttive for achievement.through adherence to-the accepted policy. | “There is vastly greater security, immensely more.of the national viewpoint, much larger and prompter accomplishment | where our divisions are along party lines, in the broad and lof- | tier sense, than'to divide geographically, or according to pur-| suits, or personal following. ; | “For a century-and a third, parties have been charged with | responsibility -and héld to-strict accounting. When: they fail, | they are relieved of guthority; and the system has brofight us| to a national eminence no less than a world example.” PRI S, ‘THIS IS ENCOURAGING : Our old friend; J_'J. Opsahl of Bemidji, takes®his trusty | pen in hand this week' to aim’ the following at i'gh “Don’t be afraid to jump into the fight for the state senatorship. e can enjoy digging into you-as you have into others.” 'Mr. Opsahl further opines that. whoever is elected should make war on Minnesota’s.idle cares. Jens blossomed forth with a.good sug- gestion when he said that, says the Baudette Region. -, Don’t start a scrap.with Jens, Bill, at least notiuntil the sentiment against county division has evaporated. i — b HOME-GROWN PEACHES . - Lo | . % The Minnesota Peach Short Cake team won first henors at Jhe Chicago Titernational' Livestock ‘Exposition. ~ We don’t! know what a Peach Short Cake team‘was doing at a livestock show, but we do know these peaches came, from Mower county., They'll be raising peaches in Beltrami county in a few years— and then what?- Be careful there, Cass county, only ‘“home- grown” count. | e — | | i | 1 | % o P SPEAKING OF CASES 4 | Here's one the'Baudette Region hands us: *‘There are al- ready about forty cases'to open at the Bemidji term of court.: but they are not the kind of cases they used’to’open at Bemidji.” /. Editor Noonan may be mistaken, at that.” Better hang around, Bill; ’cause the judge, the county attorney and Mayor Garlock! have been saving up a few cases for celebration -after the term of court opens. A : X 0 3 TES FOR FARMERS By making it a fare and a half for farmers who will attend the Farm Bureau Federation convention, at St. Patul January 2to 17, the rajlroads are doing a. commendable thing. = This kind | of co-operation will encourage a larger attendance and means much to the farmer in this vicinity. Let the good work go on. ———— o They are making history at su¢h a rapid clip at Washing-| ton that a great deal of-it gets-en. the telegraph’wires half- | baked, says theBostonTranscript. We believe it is better that way than not being served at all. gk 8 0 3 | * 'According to-a warning, five-blocks around the New York | Stock Exchange were tg be dynamited Monday. It's a good thing these warnings are issued in time. No doubt they come from soft-hearted -plotters who may be regular patrons of the Exchange. . 4 " WHAT OTHERS SAY _ Editor, Bemidji Pioneer: X i y Regarding your article in the Weekly Pioneer of December §—"Delega- tion Is Sceking New Road to Red Lake”—I wish to state my: viéws of this project; as T have traveled ‘over this route several times and I am acquainted with the roads leading from the Red River Valley east. . 3 have also con- ferred with Mr. Halvor Steenerson and others in repard’ to.this new pro- posed Yoad. 2 There will be under construction next summer what nown as Ditch No: 37.° ‘Starting n little. east of Thothult, it connects with Ditch No. 14.
