War for Humanity

War. in a good cause, is not the
greatest evil which a nation can suf-
fer. War is an ugly thing, but not
the ugliest of things; the decayed
and degraded state of moral and pat
riotic feeling which thinks nothing
worth war is worse. When a peo-
pie are used as mere human instru-
ments for firing cannon or thrusting
bayonets, In the service for the sell
fish purposes of a master, such war
degrades a people. A war to protect
other human beings against tyran-
nical injustice; a war TO give victory
to their own ideas of right and good,
and whic his their own war, carried
on for an honest purpose by their
free choice, is often the means OF
their regeneration. A man who has
nothing which he is willing to fight

Maj. Snyder Visits B;|enidji ;
On Draft Board Inspection;
Praises Home Guard Work

Major J. P. Snyder, U. S. A., and
Lieut.. J. B. Mills, staff officers Of
Adjutant General Rhinow, visited
Bemidji this morning and were in
session with the local board going
over draft matters.
The two officers are on an inspec-
ton trip, calling on the local draft
boards throughout this section of the
state They left on the noon train
for Grand Rapids, from where they
will go to Duluth and then back to
St. Paul.
Major Snyder made q splendid
impression with the local board and
gave assurance of the states COOP
Grafton in every way toward securing
the proper credits for men enlisted
and inducted into service. 1t was es-
timated that more than hundred
men have gone into service from this
county for which no credit has been
received
Both Major Snyder and Lieutenant
Mills were fayorably impressed with
the work being done by Captain
Thomas Swinson and the Home
Guards in connection with the work
of apprehending slackers and desert
ers. They secured as much informa-
ton as possible from Captain Swim
son, which no doubt will be made use
of in other sections of the state.

votes, according to the nearly com
plete returns from all Of the seventy

seph E. Davies, Democrat, was never
in doubt >. and Victor l.. Berger, So
cialist, had no opposition in his pri-
mary.
Owing to the peculiar situation in
the state, rumor found credence
that Lenroot would withdraw and
throw his support to Davies. and
thus make a clear cut loyalty issue
between Davies and Berger.

ter with any one, and certainly there

Washington, March 22.-An inves-
tigation into the number of men of
draft age who have been given nom

probably will be asked of Congress
soon. Hundreds of such men are

nothing more than mere clerkships

NO PENALTY PROVIDED
FOR NON.0BSERVA
OF THE DAYLIGHT LAW

There have been several questions
asked in Bemidji about the daylight
saving plan and one Of them has been
whether failure to obey the new idea
carries with it penalty and the
nature of such.
The new daylight savings law pro-
vides no penalty, according to an
authoritative message from Washing
ton.
The plan is merely this: At mid
night, March 81, clocks would be
moved ahead one hour. That would
cause business to open an hour
earlier in the morning from the first
of April to the first of October and
the Quitting time for the day would
be an hour earlier. In this manner,
il is argued, more time Will be al
lowed the general public to devote
ia their gardens and other work or
benefit to themselves and the gov
ernment.

With the fading of interest

which at one time were feat
ured largely in the daily press
throughout the country, the
author sought to equal his
achievement by introducing an
other series widely heralded and
eagerly sought. The Pioneer
had both of them and the sue
cessor to Scoop failed miserably.
Another has been tried and
found wanting with the reading
public and again has the Pho
neer sought for a suitable en-
tertainment feature. 1t be-
lieves it has found it in "The
Doings of the Van Loons,'
one of the leaders Of the comic
sections of the metropolitan
dailies of the country.
"The Doings Of the Van
