SYLPH OF THE SOVIETS SWAYS COPS.
One of the most celebrated Characters of the bolshevik
Soviets in New York has been tafcfcn to Ellis Island to await
deportation, she being Miss Anna Mason, age 24 years, known
as the "sylph of the Soviets." Her arrest was made when the
police made a raid on the Russian language paper Novy Mir.
So eloquent was a speech made by the "beautiful bol-
shevik" at a police station where she expounded the doctrines
of free thought, free speech, equal distribution of all wealth
and free love, that her captors missed the regular ferry to
Ellis Island and she was escorted there individually by one of
the police department's most courtly detectives.
"Rough on Reds" was one of the keynotes of the G. O. P.
party regional conference? held in Chicago Monday and Tues-
day, Minnesota being represented. That meets the approba-
tion of a large majority of Minnesotans of both major parties.
That hundred million dollars John D. gave^away Christ-
mas morning is at the rate of one plunk for every person in the
United States. Were you plunked?
"Kaiser in Shrinking Role," says a -headline in the St. Paul
Dispatch of Thursday. We always thought he was pretty cheaD

THE NEW CAPTAIN OF COMPANY K.
Reticent to a marked degree, J. Moore of Bemidji,
familiarly known as "Dan," has said little concerning his won-
derful military career and it didn't leak out until Lieut. Col.
Stutz of the Sixth regiment of the Minnesota national guard
recommended him for the captaincy of the new company of
Bemidji, after investigating his merits to assume command
of the unit.
Before coming to Bemidji, Captain Moore served four and
one-half years in the Wisconsin national guard. When the war
broke he enlisted and was assigned to his former Wisconsin
division and in three weeks landed in France, and was hustled
to the front line trenches with his comrades, which helped
fight the decisive battles of the world's conflict. He was
wounded and gassed an dafter discharge from the hospital in
less than two hours was in two of the most important engage-
ments of.the great conflict, and he and his comrades were there
at the Argonne when the armistice was signed. He won his
commission as second lieutenant by capturing a bunch of 45
Huns unaided. He was with the first American troops of occu-
pation in Germany and commanded a far reaching outpost,
when transferred back to his former division and returned to
his home country, taking his company back to its home town,
and receiving his honorable discharge at Camp Grant.
That is the type of young soldier manhood that Bemidji
sent to the battle lines and the Sixth regiment of the Minne-
sota national guard can well be proud of its company of the
Sixth regiment, for it contains the names of returned Legion
men who made" good "over there."
WAITED LONG TIME FOR THIS.
There won't be any immediate reduction in food prices
by the dissolution agreement between the packers and the gov-
ernment, stated Attorney General Palmer to the senate agricul-
tur committee.
"There is great strength," said Mr. Palmer, "in the argu-
ment that these great concerns with their efficiency methods
do handle business with less expense than many smaller units,
but if so, that is efficiency gained by autocracy.
"We shall have to depend on getting results in this di-
rection from competition, and if they are not obtained, then
our whole theory of efficiency gained by democratic competition
is wrong."
Well, we've been waiting long-for that explanation.
CHARLES AND "FATTY."
Another Charles Ray winner is
coming to the Elko theatre on Sun
day for a three days' run. It's called
"The Egg Crate Wallop"one of
those heart-warming joy-fests with
a big punch.
Thomas^, H. Ince produced it. and
It's a Paramount-Artcraft. You know
what tlaivmeans! "Fatty" Arbuckle
will also appear at the Elko the same
"CHECKERS"RE$ TONIGHT.
"Checkers," the spectacular pic
ture made by William, Fox, will open
at the Rex theatre tonight and be
shown again Saturday, is even better
as a picture than it was as a stage
play. Much of the action occurs out
doors, and Director Richard Stanton
took full advantage of the situation
to make his exterior scenes not only
elaborate, but perfect in detail.
The.story tells of a Southern beau.
ty who falls in love with Checkers,
the race tout. He grooms a horse
owned by the girl for a rich stakes,
and in getting the horse to the race
track encounters tremendous difficul
ties. His chase leads from the South
to New York and through Chinatown.
At the last minute, just before the
race is to start, the jockey is mali
ciously blinded, and the young girl
rides the horse to victory. It is one
of the best and most stirring pictures
iZiEii
in every respect seen here in some
time. The all-star cast headed by
Thomas J. Carrigan and Jean Acker
give an evenly balanced performance.
That thrilling mystery of romance
and adventure, featuring James J.
Corbett, wnl be seen as a feature of
this bill in his populaT series of the
^Midnight Man." It is a smashing

SUNDAY'S SPECIAL FEATURE.
Anita Stewart In ''Human Desire"

theatre, starting Sunday,!has the part
of an Italian girl in a convent who
daily brings lilies to lay in the arms
of the Lrampinii Madonna, wonder
ing if there are real babies in the. big
world outside. How she escapes to
find out, and, 'besides babies, finds an
American lover is told in
National feature.
PICKFORDTONIGHT.
When asked what his receipt for a
clever detective would be after his
experience in rehearsing "The Dum-
my," which will 'be seen at the Grand
theatre tonight 'only, Jack Pickford
who is starring in this thrilling pho
toplay ibased on the great stage sue
cess by Harvey J. O'Higgins and Har
riet Ford, replied:
"Some one that has 90 per cent
nerve and 10 per cent bluffand
that will read every telegram in sight
under whatever pretext first comes
into his head!"
Mr. Pickford has faithfully por
trayed his own characterization of
the boy "Barney" who through an
inordinate love of detective stories,
turns out to ibe a real detective, wins
many laurels ana incidentally five
thousand dollars for himself.
Those who saw "The Dummy" will
remember it as one of the most thrill
ing dramas that has appeared, on the
stage in generation. Briefly, it is
the tale of a boy who pretends to
be a deaf mute in order to assist a
detective in the capturing of a band
of kidnappers.

THE EXCHANGE EDITOR.
By Cy Perkins, Jr.
Interesting storiesreal and
unreal.as told by the editors of
the press of Northern Minnesota,
retold, rehashed and commented
on by this editor.
"SPURLOS VERSEN^T."
It is with a good deal of interest
that we read the Lamberton Star of a
recent issue, wherein that' paper en
deavors to expose many of its citi
zens, who when the war broke out at
tempted to put the Star on the "hum-
mer," ibecause of its staunch Ameri
canism. It should be borne in mind
that Lamberton is populated by a
predominant sprinkling of foreigners,
and evidently the kind who believed
more in the divinity of "Billy Hohen
zollern" than they did in the "divifle
right of our free institutions." Al
though two years have passed since
then the Star is still fighting valiant
ly on, and in the issue of which we
speak the star has one page devoted
to spaces presumably occupied for
merly by merchants, who were at one
time supporters of that paper, but
now have been "spurlo3 versenkt."
It is a good fight and we hope the
Star will come out with flying colors.
GOOD LAWS FOR BAD EGGS.
We are delighted to learn that eggs
are now recognized as a pure food by
the state laws. It is too bad, how
ever, that our state law makers did
not so ordain it when it was within
the reach of ordinary mortals to
secure them. But perhaps that is
just the reason why the law was
never thought of before.
WHO SATS SO?
According to some exchanges
Thomas Frankson is having some
trouble trying to make the editors of
the northern part of the state think
he will make good gubernatorial
timber.

JUST WONDERING.

A conductors' dance was given at
THE BEM1PJI DAILY PIONEER FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1W0

rendered by the orchestra.

What would a democratic national
convention be without William Jen

It is rumored that the democratic

Memory.
The qualities of a good memory are,
In the first place, to be susceptible^
secondly, to be retentive and thirdly^
to be ready. It is but rarely that these
three qualities are united in the same
person. We often Indeed meet with a
memory which is at once susceptible
and ready but I doubt very much
if such memories be commonly vary
retentive for the same set of habits
which are favorable to the first two
qualities are adverse to the third.
