JUDGE FiNEHOUT.

1t is an easy thing for the news
paper to make the public think a
man is a hero when he isn't hero
at all. Judge Finehout of the St.
Paul municipal bench is a shining
example.
1t is true that this is the learned
jurist who sentenced Banker Water.
man to thirty days in the workhouse
for automobile abuses-a sentence
which has been applauded from one
end of the country to the other. But
he is also the Judge whose private
life didn't look good in the white
light of divorce suit brought in dis.
trict court by his wife, who had as
her attorney Daniel w. Lawler. -
Nor has he done anything on the
bench to entitle him to have his
name 90 laundering down the cor
rldors of time as wise and right
eous judge. Mr.. Finehout is not
perfect by any means, and he is no
candidate for Carnegie hero medal.

for the hapless editor from narrower

veritable "mush of concession" as
Emerson says. Now and then be

than the Atlantic had stomach for,

WRITE TO THE EDITOR.

The Pioneer wishes to get into
closer touch with US readers. It
calls upon it's happy family of
subscribers to take more than a
mere general interest in its columns.
Therefore, it is urged that com.
munications on subjects of general
interest, and not exceeding more
than 200 words in length, be sent
to the editor who will see that they
are published. Suggestions as to
improvement of the paper, opinions
on public questions, the conduct
of city affairs, politics, religion or
any other subject properly treated
will be gladly welcomed. Of.course
anonymous communications can not
be considered; neither is it always
necessary to publish the name of the
person who writes the article.

WHEN HER BACK. ACHES

Bemidji women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backache, hip pain, headaches, dizzy

fall tell of sick kidneys and warn you
of the stealthy approach of diabetes,
dropsy and Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills permanently cure all
these disorders. Here's proof of it
in Bemidji woman's words:
Mrs. A. Van Ward, 1918 Bel

says: I have used sDoan's Kidney
Pills with satisfactory results and
can truthfully recommend them to
anyone suffering from kidney COM

pain in the small Of my back which
caused me much discomfort. Other
symptoms showed that my kidneys
were disordered and were. the cause
of my suffering. I at length saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised for
such complaints and deciding to try
them, I procured a box at the Owl
Drug Store. used them carefully
as directed and the pains soon disap.

HOW ROOSEVELT PLEASED TWO DEMO.
Gratis. ;.

tits interesting just this time to
recall the tact displayed by Theo-
dore Roosevelt during the progress
of the conference of the governors
ofithe United States at the white
house in 1908.
1t was on May rs at the begin
ming of the second session of the
day. The Democratic National
Convention at Denver was less
than two months off. Both Will
liam Jennings Bryan and Governor
John A. Johnson of Minnesota
were candidates for the nomination
for the presidency. Both were
present at the white house confer
ence.
After he had called the conference
to order President Roosevelt said:
IF Governor Johnson is to be
here tomorrow morning, I should
like to have him preside after Ileave
the chair"
THANK you SIR" said Governor
Johnson, midst the roar of applause
from his friends in the conference.
For an instant it was believed that
Roosevelt had taken this means of
showing his preference of Demo-
cratic candidate, but when he, with
out changing the tone of his voice,
said, The conference, I am sure,
would be delighted to hear anything
Mr.. Bryan has to say on the subject
before u.s." the delegates recognized
how neatly the president had turned
the matter of preference off and they
shouted their approval in thunder
of applause.
Governor Johnson presided the
next day, as requested, and Mr..
Bryan made his memorable speech
near the close of the conference.

PlNcA0T AND TAWNEY.

James A. Tawney has pounded
his way from a blacks NTH shop to
one of the strongest positions en-
joyed by any member of congress.
He has been a national character
for years and his work as leader
of the house, as chairman of the
appropriations committee, as a
helping hand in the digging of
the Panama canal and his ever
lasting efforts in behalf of the
farmers has revealed in him the
bigness which practically assures
him place in the national body
OF law makers so long as he wants
it.
Clifford Pinchot, a man of many
admirable qualities and. it must be
admitted, welding a peculiar power
just at this time when it is becom-
ing so fashionable to put on the
loud pedal and "insurg" will find,
when he begins to deliver speeches
in Mr.. Tawney's district, that in one
case, at least, a man is not without
honor in his own country.
Whatever faults the sWinona man
may have, or whatever unpopular
alliances he may have formed with
Republican leaders who are about
to be discarded. his own district
knows his real worth and by placing
its stamp of approval upon him it is
adding to the country's assets, for,
after all, it is the Jim Tawneys that
make America what she is.
