WORSE THINGS THAN BEING
BEATEN

n PEAkING oil politics, no alto
y gether untimely speaking, con-
siderng how things are warm
ing up along That line, we want to pub
lish our conviction that the verb ito
win" is not the whole or best bit OF
parsing TO be done in our political
grammar. To win is pleasant-unde-
niably so. But we would expect that
pleasure to he a good deal modified by
the WAY one wins. Deals, bargains,
submission to the dictates OF boss or
an organization, cringing like cur at
the feet OF some Influence" or sup
posed influence, burying ones real
sentiments in the deeps OF discreet
silence, and driving a lot OF coffin
nails into ones honest opinions and
principles lest they give offence where
vote is wantcd-these and all such
tricks as these are heavy price to pay
Tor the patry privilege OF political
victory. 1t is highly impractical, OF
course, and we are not expecting any
great rush OF approving followers,
when we declare for the man who feels
that he CAN AFFORD TO BE
BEATEN. We mean the man who is
thoughtful enough 10 think something
and say what he thinks; who is sturdy
enough to have opinions and is not
scared 10 death at the thought OF ex-
pressing them; who is genuinely en-
dowed with principles and who is not
prepared to trade them off, for a vote;
who is ready TO ask mems support on
the ground oi the things Tor which he
stands and is not bit uncertain as to
those things Tor which he does stand;
who would much rather be beaten as
MAN than To- be elected as wax
right and there spoke the we'll
trained politician, the veteran vote
getter, the product OF picayune poll
tics, who is thoroughly convinced that
sentiments altered to suit is the only
safe motto for the candidate who
would get there" And, il may be, he
is right. And again, it may be. he is
not. We claim to speak with no weight
ui authority on the subject OF cam
paign methods. But we do claim to
see. and see very distinctly, abundant
evidences in the field OF Ameri poll
tics, that the people are Disguised with
the time serving, bargain-counter type
oi candidate. and are coming more
and more 10 believe in and vote for
the man who shows that he IS a man.
One can very chceriully and enthus-
iastically follow such candidate even

worth while. But these milk and water
men, these tongue-int the check TEL

Editorial Notes

II is funny enough To hear our De-
mucratic contemporaries III this county
strain their hcart-strings and honest
figures To show that a great proper
ton OF the Republican vote i'll the
county is composed OF negroes; where
as two years ago the most active and
fruitful work done by the Democratic
Machine was in collaring negro votes.
The First, Second, Third, Fifth and
Seventh districts showed, in the late
Guhcrnatorial election. that while our
Democratic friends 'cuss" the colored
voter in public, they know how to land
him all right in private.
SIGNS are multiplying that election
time Is drawing near The Good
Roads Commission is getting Surpris-
ingly active Cat least the political end
al it isj and the Governor has pulled
the spigot out OF his promise barrel,
until even Republicans (somc OF ,hem)
are fed with high hopes OF the Cover
nor's favor, and recalcitrant Demo
Gratis (Somc OF thcm) are given to I'M
dcrstand that the earth is theirs and
the iuness thereof. il only they will
come in and be good-untl after No
vcmbcr the ninth We will back Cro-
theirs against the field for knowing
how to nail an election. without its
costing him a cent and without his hav-
ing To prosecute himself for violation
81 the Corrupt Practices Net.
THE beauty about the Democratic
organization in this county is the
smooth hypocrisy with which il makes
oil and water coalcscc; with which
publican and High Priest are brought
into happy wedlock: with which the
churchpew and speak are
made to do harmonious teamwork,
and the Amen corner is heard to
Bless the Lord" every time the Or
ganization succeeds in landing an es-
pecially immoral trick. II would be
ludicrous il it were not disgusting,
the way in which proicssedly moral,
and even supposedly religious people,
throw every moral principle every
consideration of righteousness and
decency, TO the winds under the
strange spell OF party politics.

BEMIDJI is ALL RIGHT.

We direct the attention of those
who have said naughty words about
Beltrami county officials to the fact
that the Bible conference is in ses-
sion in Bemidji and it is an annual
occurrence.-Duluth News Tribune.
Yes; and the noted divines from
distance who are attending the
Bible conference are actually going
about our streets without a body
guard, and are apparently contented
with the belief that we with special
reference to the editorial "WE")
are God-fearing and highly moral
people.
Just investigate properly, brother,
and you will find that Bemidji and
her. people have been grossly
maligned by certain St. Paul news

ADVERTISE IN A MEDIUM THAT WILL BRING
RESULTS.

The average business man does
not advertise his business simply
for the purpose of giving the printer
and publisher a few dollars as a
donation to the paper, because the
editor is poor and needs the money"
While there are few fortunately,
there are very few men in business
who look upon newspapers as a
charitable institutions, yet there is
too much of this sentiment existing
over northern Minnesota.
Advertising should be regarded as
business proposition, pure and
simple-being a method of telling
the public what you have, what it
sells for and where it can be
secured.
And, Mr.. Business Man, you want
to use a medium that reaches the
most people, that is subscribed for
and read purely for it's worth as a
disseminated of news, and which
reaches the largest number of read.
ers.
Such a medium is the Bemidji
Pioneer. The circulation of the
Pioneer exceeds that of any three
papers published in Beltrami county,
and the paper is read because it
publishes the news, completely and
WHEN 1T IS NEWS. The Pionee,
has readers in every part of the
county, and is, therefore, an excel
lent advertising medium.
If you want to reach all of the
people through a newspaper that the
people read, and which has many
more readers than any contemporary,
you will do we'll to investigate as tc
the circulation of the Pioneer, which
through its recent merger with the
Record, has fine list of subscribers
