OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCERDINGS A REAL LOSS Will Hays is to quit being postmaster general at $12,000 a year to head the motion picture in@xtry at a salary reputed to.be around $150,000 a/year. Beal and not speculative is the loss to the public in the resignation of Mr. Héys from the cabinet. Talented, almost to- the point of positive genius in the art of executive ‘orzanizafion, the pbétmuter general brought to the half demoralized postal de- partment a skill and strength which made: the cs- tablishment revive like g “cellar-kept” goranium in the spring time. Service magieally was restored and improved and better than all, the rights and feelings of the postal employees were regarded and respected. .One of : his high accomplishments was the humanizing of the system, and his departure will be ‘sincerely regret- ted by every man from rural free delivery agent to divjsion chiefs and bureau heads. With the Ameri- can public he founded an entente cordisle, repair- ing the sorry failure of his immediate predecessor in that direction. His acceptance of a position in the busmess life of the United States again stresses the difference be- tween American and European politics. Over the ocean, wealthy. or endowed statesmen exist who make a' life profession of -government ‘work, and who are retained through all changes of administration, because .of their shown ability— although, admittedly, there are instances where in- competents also stick. Here, however, there unfortunately are no-such class of generally competent men who devote them- selves to the public, to be found. W% The nation’s loss in efficiency is the distinct gain of the enterprise with which Mr. Hays’ future is to beidentified—and, according to the leaders of that industry, a genius is needed to stabilize it. §———8 OUR WOMEN JURORS For the first time in history, Beltramt. county women have keen called for service as grand and petit jurors. Nothing quite so well emphasizes the new position of responsibility to which women have been elevated by reason of the right of franchise, as their call to jury duty. i It may seem strange and unceremonious to demand 3 the presence of women in court, when a. houseful of children may demand their presence at home, but in actual practice it is found that the influence of women as active aids in court procedure has been all in faver of justice. k; ! Judge E. C. Dean of Fairmont has expressed an R ¥ i opinion that there are so many cases of an indelicate i 3 character continually coming into court that the hearing of these cases by mixed juries will have a At tendency to blunt the finer sensibilities of ‘the women, ' There may be something to this, or it may be that with mother 6n the job there will be a sharp de- Tt e e S e T e e - e | ‘. b | | B CER KRR AR RN KKK RN My W, A, Rice lus o . R oase in the number’ of “indelicate” cases coming ‘1r§ta_ court’ So far, when it comics. to jury service, the credit seems to be all in favor of the women: The Pioneer is sure that 'the Beltrami county women will' maintain ‘the ‘high standard of general excel- lence established by ‘their sisters in other com- muhities. S VERSATILE IN OPPOSITION The most versatile-member of the opposition is Henry W. Hill of Buffalo. He told the Rotary Club at Batavia, “Naw.fooiish.it would be for the United Smtes'fto entef into a project that would give every- & thing to Canada and nothing to this country.” He said 2 ‘building of the ¢anal would mean only a vast waste of money to the United States. That was October 11th, : v - With incomparable versatility, 'he, told the New Yeork State Waterways association, on October 27th, that-Canada ‘was not: in. favor of the proposition, with the.exception of thc- Province of Ontario, and that the real backing was to be found in'the Middle Western section of the United States. Mr. Hill is perhaps the only man in the United States who can ride two horses in opposite directions at the’same time, without straining his tendons. i1 The Bemidji Pioneer gave a nice line-up last week on, thé legislative situation. Bemidji wants Koochiching to ‘have &' representative, the north end to have a representative and Bemidji takes the senatorship. 1t sounded fine, but the next day Op- sahl filed for the house. There is about as much peace -and harmony at Bemidji as at a Dail Eireann meeting.—Spooner ‘News. s It may have no local significance, but' }quificinflé' scem to be “in wrong” with the new editor of The Bemidji Pioneer. Following several critical editor- ial paragraphs, he winds up his column with this one: “It was Billy Nolan, speaker of the house, who said it was incorrect to refer to a man as a ‘politician pure and simple’ He may be simple, said Billy, but never pure.”—Duluth Herald. There are some wrongs that never will be sup: pressed by law alone, no matter how vigorously en- forced.. The only remedy lics in the education of mind and heart :n which homes, public schools and churches must co-operate. Such education re-en- forces' law.—Aitkin Independent Age. > A Chicago gir] found a $500 pearl in an oyster.
