Are We Civilized, Indeed?

JAPAN has won another decis-
i've victory in the far east. This
ought to be enough to end the
war at once. TO what end does
Russia continually pour out the
blood of its peoples? And to
what end does the civilized world
permit the horrible butchery
now going ona daily massacre
that determines nothing? The
issues of the war have already
been determined. Russia may
elect to continue the contest. Tc
what end? Other terrible de.
feats are as certain and will be
as overwhelming as those she
has already repeatedly suffered.
We begin to think that a world
that will stand idly by and per.
nit such useless slaughter Of
men is far from being civilized.

Tending section went over for the day.

Why Nobody is Interested.

Why Nobody is Interested.
WITH the village election less
than a week away there appears
to be very little interest in tie
matter. Is it possible that this
is because the great majority Of
the people Of the city have made
up their minds that under the
present inadequate village or.
ganization they are practically
disfranchised? Bemidii is city
IN fact, but Still wears the sWad-
ding clothes of village organiza-
ton. The state Of Minnesota
might as wisely elect all it's con-
gresham, or all it's state sena-
tors, or ell it's members of the
/, + :
state legislature at large as for
the city o. Bemidji to elect all its
councilmen at large. The prin-
ciple is exactly ths same.
Special interests have thus far
succeeded in preventing the or.
ganization of a city government,
but the Pioneer hopes and De.
lieves that the day will soon come
when the people of Bemidji will
no longer tolerate such a condi-
ton.
Speed the day!
