The stand taken by the new mayor
in his informal address to the council
last night and his appointment Of
Earl Cell as chief Of police to carry
out his ideas appears to be at least
a step in the right direction. Mr.
Malzahn stood for the square deal to
everyone and that is the attitude a
mayor should have.
The problems that the new mayor
will face are not different from those
of his predecessors, but he comes to
them from a different angle and it
will be interesting to note just how
much father he can progress by
taking this changed attitude,
Not everything can be done by
the mayor, nor by the chief Of police,
but if they are backed by the people
and are given encouragement there
appears to be no reason why they
should not be successful. The Social
lists have been after these two offices
for long time; they were given
them after a campaign on definite
issues; it is now up to the party and
Messrs. Malzahn and. Cell to make
good.

Moses B. Cotsworth, Of Victoria,
3. c., has brought forward what he
considers a rational calendar. He
would divide the year into thirteen
months each of twenty-eight days,
which would leave one extra day in
the year, and this he plans as free
day for everyone-free from interest
charges on money, free from the
necessity to work, the wage scale, etc.
Each month would begin on Sunday
and the first, eighth, fifteenth, and
twenty-second days of each month
would be Sundays.
1t is the opinion of many that the
month of four weeks will come soon
as commercial necessity. The plan
outlined by Mr.. Cotsworth has many
good features but some that are open
to question. Monday has been sug-
gested as better day for the first
Of the month than Sunday. The one
free day would also make trouble as
every four years there would be two
extra days. One good result of
calendar of four weeks would be that
holidays, pay days and other change
able days could be fixed for the same
time each year. If the new plan is
adopted, the school children need no
longer learn: "Thirty days hath Sep
TENDER, etc."

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 80, 1912.
j. ]. Opsahl,
Chairman Traffic committee,
Bemidji Commercial club.
Dear Sir: What, if anything, has
been decided by the Commercial club
with reference to the building of cot
tages and dining hall for use of the
summer tourist trade expected at Be-
midji during the summer?
We have read the suggestions
made you along these lines in the let
ter of Mr. Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific railway, and agree
with what he writes in connection
with this matter.
II there is no place in Bemidji
where persons of this class can be
housed and fed at a nominal rate, it
is useless to work up interest in the
summer tourist business, as a large
majority of those who could be in
duced to spend some time in your
city, will not come there unless as
sured in advance Of satisfactory quar-
ters.
If suitable lake shore, grounds
could be secured for this purpose, can
or will your club interest enough of
the business men Of the city to raise
the necessary amount for the purpose
of having erected, a sufficient num-
Der. of Gotta ges, dining halls, etc., to
be used for the purpose of which you
write?
AS the business men Of Bemidji
would be the ones to derive any rev.
enue accruing from such transient
trade, it would seem an investment
of this nature offers sufficient induce
ments for the formation Of a corpo-
ration comprising the business men
Of the city to raise enough money to
secure the erection of the number of
cottages which would be required.
Please take this matter up with
the club, ascertaining what action
would be taken should plat of
ground be supplied at nominal
rental for period of three to five
years for this purpose, writing us ac-
c0rdingly.
Very truly,

terest all who are anxious that the
rates be lowered are also contained
there in. A few we all can do or
help do:
Use only safety matches.
Do not permit the children to
use matches.

Never put ashes in wood

Don't fill kerosene or gasoline

ed --"
Stoves, furnaces and flues
should be inspected each season.
No stove pipe allowed through
roof. wall or building.
Remove all scraps, litter, ex-
celsior and paper, or place in
metal cans.
TO carry out these suggestions is
only a start in the right direction
and we must unite in order to effest
speedy action by the adjusters.
