The Daily Pioneer PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By R. W. HITCHCOCK. Entered in the postofflce at Bemidji, Minn., as second ela.-ss matter.

On this committee he can probably ten der the people of his district more important service than if he were on the judiciary commit tee. The extension of rural de livery routes is of the utmost im portance to this section and Mr. Steenerson as a member of the committee on postoffices will be able to help this section to a number of routes which it might not otherwise be able to secure for several years. are two offices in Minne sota over which there does not seem much probability of contest next year. Judges McClenehan and Spooner of this district will undoubtedly succeed themselves without opposition. Senator Mc Carthy's declaration in favor of Judge Spooner removes the only formidable opponent which the judge has had. Judge Spooner!s. record during the short period he has boon on the bench has al so been such as to commend him to the people of the district and his reriqmination seems tolerably certain. IT BEHOOVES th the members of the new charter commission to act at. once. If Bemidji is to be incorporated as a city the sooner oetter. The commissitm has a good sized task before it and with all possible dispatch it will keep the commission busy to pro pare and submit the charter so that the city government may be organized before the spring elec tion. THE idea seems to be gaining ground that Judge Collins as pires to a United States senator ship and that lie is a candidate for governor with this end in view. On this account .Senators Nelson and Clapp arc said to be looking very hard at the Collins candidacy.
