' . The police were called and responded to the summons in a creditably short time, . that is, two officers were detailed to see * what the trouble was, not expecting that a riot squad was necesary at a public dance in Bemidji. The police entered the hall to apprehend § " .the offender, or at least quiet his antics 2 |with a show of authority, which should have been all that was necessary, but when one of them was within distance of the cul- prit, he was met by an unexpected blow between the eyes that stunned.him for a moment. \ ° When the officer saw that the uniform of law and authority had no effect upon his man, he pulled his black jack and was obliged to use it to get him in amood to accompany him to the city bastile. The 4 crowd took exception to the officer using i the “jack” and one of them stepped out to help his buddy who had tangled w.ith the law, and was also taken to the station. The next morning they were fined $50 each or a choice of sixty days ,which was little enough for the offense. ) There are some well meaning people, and some that are not so well meaning, who have an idea, that because a man i1s a policeman, that he should be able to “lick any man in town,” which, even if he could, is forbidden by the laws he. has sworn to uphold. i A policeman need not take any chance 5 whatever of bodily harm, when he has ! occasion to apprehend a man he is sent to get. He has a right to, and is expectgd to, have a weapon handy, so that the pris- oner mav not get the best of him, and the officer Saturday night, according to.the witnesses, did not use any weapon, until he saw that it was necessary. He had au'ghor- s ity to pull a gun as well as the black Jagk. i A man who has no respect for authority i as vested in the police, should be made to have respect for the policeman’s handy black jack. 5 The officer in question is to be commend- ed for “sticking” to his man regardless of INTERESTS ARE MUTUAL In New England there is general recog- nition of the economic righteousness of the demand in the West for the outlet to the sea and of the services promised by the St. Lawrence Deep Waterway route in bring- ing New England industry nearer to its western markets and in bringing nearer to New England its sources of food supply and raw material, New England’s interest in the proposed power develooment is at the same time more direct and much more impressive. To a large extent our interests coincide with theirs, to a large extent they are par- - allel, at no point do they seriously conflict. It appears that a conference would be profitable in which the community of in- terest could be further developed and in which any differences in point of view might, consistently with the public inter- est, be adjusted. ; §F——5 WORLD MOVES ON R Less than four years ago five men appar- ently held the future of the world in their grasp—Orlando, of Italy; Venizelos, of Greece; “Tiger” Clemenceau, of France; Lloyd George, of England and Woodrow Wilson. Orlando was retired before the Peace Conference was over. - Venizelos practically was banished in a short time. President Wilson saw the United States Senate repudiate the League of Nations covepant, and the people of the United States sustain the repudiation. ) Clemenceaue resigned as premier, ran for the presidency and was defeated. Now Lloyd George, last of the five, has been forced to resign. R ?nd the world moves on.—Topeka Cap- ital. i §—3 . BUSER, NOT “BOOZER” It is up to Wisconsin to choose a foot- ball coach to succeed John Richards. Al Buser, a Wisconsin product, is being sug- gested for the place. Buser was captain of the Wisconsin team in 1911 and chosen All '‘American tackle for two successive years. His name is spelled Buser, not “Boozer” as one of our exchanges spelled “it. Buser has been turning out a winning team at the St. Paul Central High for the past two years and would be an excellent man for the big job of coach of Wiscon- sin. — EVERYBODY SATISFIED? “Bill” Zauche, chairman of the Lake of the Woods County Board of commission- .. ers says that they had a = “hellofatime” naming all of the officers of the new coun- ty in order to satisfy everybody, but now that the work is over everybody is satified. We'll say it’s simply wonderful, but the rub may come to keep everybody satisfied. ’ They may still hear from George. * ] . § | WHY THE BACK DOOR?
