The high school campus should
either be cleaned up or designated
as the official dumping ground. 1t
is not credit to city which boasts
as splendid school system as could
be found in the state to have the
grounds of it's modern high school
Uttered as they now are. Wood,
boxes and general debris are un-
slightly enough in obscure places but
when the school yard has to be util-
lied for such rubbish it becomes a
matter of public complaint and The
Pioneer willingly gives voice to the
Indignation it has heard from time
to time regarding the unsightliness
of the high school yard A general
cleaning up is in order and some i'm
provement might be made before the
hundreds of visitors who are coming
to the educational convention here
this week arrive in the city.

Redhot PLAYS.

1T is a tremendous undertaking to

friend. $50 many are written, and
so few ever see the light Of day. An
English playwright with gift of hu-
morous exaggeration illustrated this
fact to me once. He told me how he
submitted a play to celebrated &C
tor and how in the course of the con-
versation the actor remarked:
"'Don't you think it is growing
chilly in this room?
"'Yes; it is rather the young play

wife, who is as beautiful as her life
mate is homely. They were walking
down Broadway one afternoon, and
the pair attracted much attention.
One of two young "sports," evidently
thinking to attract the favorable at

audible aside remarked that it was
another case of 'the beauty and the
beast.'' Quick as wink the husband
turned and, as he swung his right to

said, ~ am a man of peace, but new

Solitude,

Solitude is dangerous to reason with
out being favorable to virtue. Pleas
ures of some sort are necessary to the
intellectual as to the corporal health,
and those who resist gayety will be
likely for the most part to fall sac
ritice to appetite, for the solicitations
Of sense are always at hand, and a
dram to a vacant and solitary person
is speedy and seducing relief. Re-
member that the solitary person is Ger
tainly luxurious, probably superstf-
tious and possibly mad. The mind
stagnates for want of employment and
is extinguished, like candle in foul
air.-JOhnson. 49,.

HONOR THE VET BUTNOr THE oEmAGOGUE.

During his addresses the late dear
ly beloved John A. Johnson seldom
missed an opportunity to pay an elo-
quent tribute to the fast fading
Boys in Blue" who won the great
est war of all times to preserve the
Union.
Again and again Governor john
son used these words:
1--WE owe them a debt of gratitude
that NEVER can be repaid
The governor would emphasize
this expression with all the force
and peculiar power of which he was
so strangely possessed.
This thought of Johnson's struck
a responsive cord in Minnesota as it
must in every unprecedented state in
the Union. Therefore, when Con-
gress considers any sort of pension
bill, it is only fair to presume that
honest members of Congress are
ready and willing to grant every
proper concession to the tottering
heros who are falling by the way
side at the rate of 100000 a year.
But that does not mean that when
such bill as the one which a few
days ago passed the lower house of
Congress which, if enacted into law,
would mean the expenditure of $780,
100000 a year; not to the sturdy
warriors that fought the real battles
but, according to the bill, any man
who served 80 days during the war.
He need never to have been wound
ed; he need never to have been in
battle; he need never have been
south of Maryland; he need never
have been injured in health-all he

vandaila. Montana,
Feb. i, 1911.

FeD. II, III Il.
Gentlemen: .
will try and tell you few cold
facts about Montana
It is forty degrees below here with
eighteen inches of snow on the
ground-and still showing.
We are in the very heart of the
western cattle country, and there is
nothing raised but cattle, horses and
sheep-excepting when poor mis-
led cowboy gets too much squirrel
whiskey in his hid, then there is
something doing for fair. -.
We have the freedom of the range
and may fight and rowdy as much as
we please and nothing will be said.
But stealing is counted worse than
murder.
Indians are plentiful in this coun.
try, but are confined on the reser-
walton, where many still live in the
old style tepee wearing the faithful
blanket. This class has nothing to
say to the white man, but there are
a few who live in log huts and eat
dog,-these seem to be more civil
lied.
The cowboys of this country are a
jolly and we'll meaning lot but do
not care for the outside World. They
think the United States is somewhere
in Montana and that Montana is the
greatest nation in the world.
Vandaila is great town, COM
posed of two houses. One is store,
postoffice, supply shop and residence
combined; the other is a saloon, res
taurant and hotel. But things are
never dull here. There has been
three fights in the last three days,
and are getting ready for, another.
With all this, this is a great
country; there is thousands of home
steads awaiting settlement. Three
hundred and twenty acres of as fine
land as can be found is free for any
man who will make it his home for
five years. There has been many
hundred settlers come in here the
past year but not enough to make a
showing. Valley county is almost
as large as Minnesota and there are
not as many people in it as there is
in Bemidji alone, so you see there is
plenty of room.
Plenty of game here also-deer,
elk, antelope and all kinds of small
game. Wolves are plentiful and
fierce. Coyotes can be seen every
where and make nights hideous with
their bowling.
Everything is Republican here;
not a Democrat elected in this coun-
try last election.
Hoping you all are the same,
I remain,
(signed) JACK CARLTON.

tertainment at Fifth avenue million
aires palace in New York rose to re-
cite Mrs. Browning's Dead Pan" As
he announced his subject and prepared
to begin he heard lady near him say
distinctly:
"What is the next piece? Some
thing funny, I hope. Oh, yes-'The
Dead Pan! Dear me, how odd! OF
course it must be funny-something
about bad cooking, suppose"

visions of this bill must be radically
amended to prevent it's veto. And
in this decision the president is back
ed by the better element among the
old soldiers opposed to the bill be-
cause it abolishes all distinction be-
tween men who fought and suffered
and men who never was within 100
miles of the battle field. The bill
as it now stands is a pension bill
that is despised by honest old sol
diers.
The Presidents determination to
oppose the bill in it's present guise
| is a tribute to the earnest and honest,
even at times ponderous, intentions
to do what he thinks is right.
1t requires some courage to oppose
pensions presumably for old soldiers
even if the veterans will never get
the money. For these reasons the
hypocritical members of the natio-
al house of representatives, who
voted for the bill simply to court
favor with the Grand Army and
kindred organizations, lacked the
courage of their convictions and
were demagogues pure and simple
For instane, there was Uncle Joe
Cannon. He voted for the bill and
lis speech on the subject is des-
cribed as characterized by fire and
force'' Here is little of what
Uncle Joe had to say:
"Oh, it is easy as these men go
under the ground and a new genera
ton comes, especially in our great
cities where there is a large popula-
ton, by far the greatest number of
whom HAD NO PERSONAL ExPER-
FENCE WITH THAT WAR, and
where the voice of the Union soldier
is not apt to be heard-it is easy to
talk about the great cost of pen
sions"
These burning words from Uncle
Joe must tingle the blood of the aged
warriors but somehow they lose their
force when one stops to consider that
Uncle Joe G.. Cannon was born in
1886. When the war broke out,
Uncle Joe G.. was "a years old-a
splendid age for man to become a
soldier. You will search in vain
to find any record of Uncle J. G. hay
ing any personal experience with
that war" From March, 1861, to
December, 1868, the Danville multi
millionaire and ex-Czar of Congress
held a fairly fat and comfortable
public office as States attorney in
Illinois,
Those who wish can look with
favor upon Uncle Joe's attitude but
we prefer the attitude of such men,
bers of Congress as Frederick H.
Gillette of Springfield, Mass, who
used these words on the floor of the
House:
Every man would prefer to vote
for this bill; every selfish motive
prompts him to do it, . Appropri-
atoms from the national treasury
which will win us personal popular
ity are hard to defeat. I think
few members would jepardize their
political prospects in opposing it
more than l do, but l do not think
it ought to pass. Let us give to
ward off suffering, but let us not give
to earn political gratitude. I ap-
preciate fully the debt we owe the
veterans of the Civil War. I be-
lieve in generously admitting and
paying that debt, and 1 think the
veterans in my district have known
and appreciated my effort in their
behalf. 1 presume my political
them now that have deserted them"
