A HlSEOH 5ER,

In referring to something said in
the West Duluth Sun the Morrison
County Democrat says:
That is about the kind of an eX-
preston one would naturally expect
tn hear from Il man by the name of
Murphy.
TAus the world Is indebted to the
heSntted brain of IN unknown editor
fur The discovery that there is, after
all, something in a name. But on
the presumption that he was drunk,
as usual, when he produced the above,
AMI that, therefore, his produc ton is
as unreliable as he himself is ire.
Sronsible we fear that this editor S
name will not shine IN history as Il
discoverer, nor as Il philosopher
Alas, there's also something in the
nAme of drunkard. Reform, dear
friend, reform; and Your talent may
yet bring YOU to the topmost wave OF
fame. AS thorough big It, or foo
the above remark surely entities you
to fame.

Not Angels Yet.

The reformcrs are not angels yet-not
quite-and it is possible that they may
make mistakes and are responsible for a
good deal of injustice and unnecessary
suffering. The trouble is that we go
upon the theory that We are always
right and that the other fellows are al
ways wrong; that orthodoxy is our
doxy, while heterodoxy Is the other fell
lows doxy.
As was limited little way back, per-
haps we had better goslow in our alleged
reforms, and be very considerate and
charitable and tolerant while we are
about it.
The will of the majority embodied in
a statute viii not change human nature,

He is good looking young man about
