An Introduction!

With this issue change is made
in the editorship of the Pioneer. To
large proportion of this papers
readers, the new editor Harold J.
Dane, is known personally as he
served in his present capacity. here
during the summer of 1910. Since
his prior connection, he has finished
his four years at the University of
Minnesota, taking a bachelors de-
gree in the academic department.
Since his graduation and until relo-
eating in Bemidji he travelled this
part of northern Minnesota as fl
nancial reporter for the branch Of
fee of R. G. Dun & Co., at Duluth.
Pioneer readers need not expect
any radical change in the policy of
this paper at the present time 1t is
the ambition of the new editor to
make the Pioneer the home paper of
Bemidji and Beltrami county and to
that end emphasis is to be placed on
home news. He wants the readers to
feel that the Pioneer is their paper,
not his; that their opinions, not his,
are to be found in the news columns
Editorial opinions will be expressed
in the proper place.
Mr.. Dane assumes the editorship
with the intention of making Be-
midi his home and by his efforts
here endeavors to assist in making
Bemidji known as the HUB OF
NORTHERN MINNESOTA. He be-
lieves in Bemidji and Beltrami coun-
ty; he believes that both are bound
to grow; he believes that Bemidji is
destined to- be the largest distribut-
ing point between Duluth and Grand
Forks, the Twin Cities and Winnipeg
that Beltrami county is to be the
richest farming county in Minneso-
ia; and he believes that the residents
Of this section Of the state are to be
known for expressions of the truest
citizenship.

The way in which the United

Philippines, is best shown by the ac-

the former leader Of the natives, is
now a well-to-do farmer at Cavite,
just across from Manila. He seldom
goes to the city, desires only to be
let alone. He is a good farmer, is
making money, and never talks about
the insurrection. He has learned that

Dear Sir "
Did you ever notice the spasmodic
and irregular appearance of little
printed wall of misery, which in
makeup is not unlike Chinese de-
claration of war and which is printed
by Evan Carson and edited ably ca
by Larson-Grant-Webe ct al, and
called "Thought?" My attention was
called to one such little howl of ca
lamity yesterday, which, in an edi-
torial written by some one unknown
to me said in part: "Bursley was Ga
year ago) a member of the Socialist
party, and wanted to run for city
clerk on the Socialist ticket and
thereby hangs tale. When I de-
cided to run for alderman in the Sec
ond ward, Charles Swedback, who
was a long tife friend of mine, want
ed to make the run as a Socialist.
This I refused to do and I never
dreamed of running for city clerk
anyway. The Larson-Weber squeak
sheet in the same editorial says fur
ther: ''There was undoubtedly a
frame up in connection with Bursley
running for alderman" There is alb
solutely nothing in this statement.
When I ran for alderman l was seek
ing to be appointed state boiler in
spector and if had been successful
in this l would have served by time
on the Council. lost out, however,
which made it necessary for me to. re-
sign. The City Council appointed
Bailey in my place. l had nothing
whatever to do with it. 1t was done
according to the city charter and if
the Larson-Weber aggregation don't
like it they will have to bring an
other mandamus proceeding. L AM
NOT A SOCIALIST. Nay, Nay, Paul
inc, none of that Debs-Dr. Larson
Emma Goldman stuff for me. l admit
am poor, nearly always broke, and
have no use for Pierp Morgan or
Johnny Rockefeller. I am sometimes
imbued with the idea that man
should not be compelled to earn his
own living; that the idle rich should
be made to support him. I have even
SO far forgot myself, in the past, as
to holler for Bryan and Chamber for
free silver and I was a Sergeant in
Coxey's Army. In fact Mr.. Editor,
I have all the ear-marks of being a
Socialist, but am not. .s +:

Cruelty to the Flea

Cruelty TO, dumb animals must
cease and 1t Is pleasing TO note, in this
connection that Nat Brain. a trainer
has 7been5 arrested at Ashbury, Park
n. J.ti6E'rruelty tosfiehs.s Brain had
a company of trained fleas on exhibit
ZION at the resort and the authorities
discovered that the collars on some
OF the fieas were too tight, also that
the feas were shocked by electricity
and In that manner made to go
through their exhibition stunts. The
complaint was made by Mayor Ben
nett
The flea In his normal condition It
will be remembered is very active
member OF society. He hops about con-
tinually and can jump farther than
a vaudeville actor in u ten-tweny.thIr
ty.circuit. With out any artificial
impulse at all the flea will keep NOV
ing about In the most energetic man,
ner. When electricity Is applied his
activities must tax MS endurance to
the utmost and such treatment would
In time. cause the flea to lose his rea.
son and become an imbecile. Too
much activity is worse than none at
all. And then TO think that all Of
this extra eXertion. under the influ.
ence OF electricity must be done when
the flea is wearing collar that is too
tight makes the case against Mr..
Brain all the worse. A tight collar
is bad enough when the flea is allow
ed TO sit in the shade and accept the
cooling breezes as they come along.
A tight collar worn during an cleo.
trical jag wherein the flea is forced
10 make about 1900 revolutions a min.
ute would seem to be abut the limit
OF endurance.
The authorities of Ashbury Park are
everlastingly right in their crusade

THE SAN FRANCISCO EXPO
 SETON.

San Francisco seems to be making steady progress toward the result which she desires to obtain in the holding of the Panama and Pacific Exposition in 1915. San Francisco is a great city. No other metropolis of the world has ever shown such recu- peratiye powers, in so short a time, as has marked the rehabilitation of San Francisco after the disastrous earthquake and fire of 1906, It shows the progressive spirit that dominates her citizenship. The people are loyal to their community and they are alive to their own interests as well.
 There is probably no city of the Pa cifc Coast that will reap as much gain from the building of the Panama Canal as will the city by the Golden Gate. And they are preparing in a magnificent way to celebrate the op- ening to commerce of all nations the magnificent waterway connecting the two great oceans that the brains, brawn, enterprise and money of the United States have made possible,
 There is no other nation on earth that could have accomplished such a vast undertaking within such com paratively short time. It is a monu- ment to the genius, the enterprise, and, yes, the wealth of the nation.
 The canal will give an impetus to trade and commerce that the world did not dream of quarter of a cen tury ago. And Alaska will share in the commercial march. since the de- velopment of her immense natural resources will be greatly stimulated by the linking together Of the two gro. oceans.

AN AGE OF PROGRESS.

Let us preach the doctrine of unity. Let us talk to one another about one ness of purpose, when it comes to the welfare and upbuilding of our home community and the betterment of existing conditions. For be it re. membered that we live in an age where in every line of human activ- ity progress and efficiency are the watchword. There is no such thing in the economy of nature as standing still. We progress or there is retro gression. We go forward or We go backward. Rest assured that men or nations never stand still. They may think that they do-that they have reached the ultima thule. But they have not. They are deluded. There is no such place. Life means an ac- tivity which is constant, perpetual. A community to be progressive must be united. There must be pull ing together. In union there is strength; in division there is weak ness. These may be trite sayings but they are true, and that which rings true never grows old.
 The turning point in the history of Juneau and Southeastern Alaska is here. we believe This section is on the eve of a development which is material and which promises to be permanent. But we must make ready to meet it and keep pace with 1t if are to reap the benefits that such de- velopment is bound to bring

shoes. and ships, and sealing wax, oi cabbages and kings" This happened in the good old days when walrus folks could preach, and carpenters had naught to do but ramble on the beach. It happened In the good old times when birds and beasts of prey could talk of more uplifting things than politics. all day If we could find a walrus now that's blessed CT cursed with speech, of income tax and I. and R. the tiresome brute would preach. And 1t would roast the plutocrats and give John D. a jolt and we would all be bored to death ere 1t had shot it's bolt. How I regret the dear old times of which the poet sings, when animals and men could talk of cabbages and kings! For nowadays We never hear of aught but politics; of orators and managers and all their threadbare tricks. You hear about them m the streets, and in the grocer's store; no matter where you chance to stray, you'll meet some windy bore who throws harpoon at the trusts; you hear the tarif lashed; yea, even in the synagogues the same old straw is thrashed. And so I long for an cient days, and ancient ways, by jings, when Colonel Walrus talked a while of cabbage and kings.
