Representative Gardner of Massachu.
sets has resigned his seat in Congress to
enter the army. Mr.. Gardner has been
one of the foremost figures in the cam,
paign for military preparedness in this
country, and was for months the target
for the abuse and ridicule of pacifsts who
labored in season and out to leave the
country helpless and impotent to wage
war. The events of the last few weeks,
the efforts to do in few days what wis
dom and prudence urged two years ago
now acclaim Mr.. Gardner as a patriotic

man Greene mixed up with the Congress
man of the same name from Massachu-

that he was called to the White House to
talk over war matters with the Presi-
dent. All the same we venture that our
own Congressman could give his name
sake and the President points on military

the horizon intently," said Premier
Lloyd George, land can see no terms
in sight which will lead to an endur-

sible would mean an armed truce
ending in an even more frightful

After a reference to the postpone
ment of the hopes Of a decision this
year owing to the temporary COL
lapse of Russia, the premier con-
tinued:
"There was a moment when time
was doubtful and dangerous neutral,
rather disposed to favor our foes.
Two things have changed that. The
first is the advent Of America, whose
resources and man power are twice
as considerable as Great Britain's;

reason to know that daughter and

able people and their mechanical re-
sources are unequalled in the whole

LARGE CROWD HEARS
STORY OF THE AIR

A packed house heard Captain
Ketchin, formerly of the Royal Fly
ing Squadron on the western Euro
pean battle front, tell of his expert
ences in the Elko last night. The
address was made after the first run
of pictures and standing was at a
premium.
Roy Liebsle, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge, introduced the cap
tain and stated that the people had
come to hear the aviator and moth
ing else and that the program was
limited to him alone. The talk was
full of interest, a brief resume of
the start of the war being given and
leading up to the time airships came
into vogue, at first practically crude
affairs for their purpose and later
the modern aerial destroyers.
Captain Ketchin is a member of
the British recruiting commission
now in the United States and his
presence in Bemidji was to boost for
the Juvenile Entertainers of Winni-
peg who will be here next week, aid
ing in recruiting.

BRIDGE BOND VOTE
next MONDAY; UP
; TO The TAXPAYERS
Next Monday the people of

Next Monday the people of
Bemidji will be asked to vote
upon whether the sum Of $685.
600 in bonds should be voted for
payment of the new bridge. The
voting will be held at the usual
precinct polls and the hours
will be from 6 o'clock in the
morning until 9 o'clock at night.
When the contract for the
bridge was let there was abso-
lutely no provision made for
paying for it. Money towards
the payment has been paid out
of the. permanent improvement
fund which has been held ille-
gal. This money will have to
be replaced in some manner,
also.
The expense Of paying for
the bridge has been unloaded
upon the taxpayers of Bemidji
and it is up to them to pay for
it. It should be paid for. The
debt should be wiped out and the
whole affair disinfected.
The people have learned an
other lesson.
