Stronger Now.

Whatever other contests may be.
developed in the Republican State
convention over the nominations
for State officers, it seems to be
universally conceded that there
will be no opposition whatever to
the denomination Of Gov. Nelson.
The way in which the little Nor
wegian has won his way TO the re-
spect and confidence Of the people
converting successfully those
who at one time or another were
his bitter opponents into fast
friends is something phenomenal
in politics. There is really, how
ever, nothing remarkable about it.
Most politicians fail from being
too polite; too eager to make
themselves popular. Knute Mel
son has simply tried to do the right
thing as he went along, and he has
had the good sense to perceive
what was the right thing to do,
and thus he has won popularity
without running after it. He was
admired for his abilities and his
straightforward honesty of pur-
pose, before he became governor.
In that position he has exhibited a
sound business judgment, capac-
ity for affairs, which has more
than confirmed the good opinion
which the people had formed of
him. He was considered the
strongest man whom the Republi-
cans could nominate for governor
two years ago. He is a good deal
stronger now P;oneer Press. %..

SAM 6. IvERsoN, present deputy
State treasurer, is a candidate for
the position Of State auditor. Mr..
Iverson is well qualified for the
place, is backed by no railroad
corporation or pine land ring and
is making a quiet and gentlemanly
canvass. He has our best
wishes. If the auditor is chosen
from the southern part of the
State no mistake will be made if
Sam Iverson is selected.

The Sank Rapids Sentinel says
the county commissioners refused
the use of the court room for pub

application for the hall we pre-

freely granted and no questions
asked.

A Donation Party.

The State board of investment
at it's last meeting decided to in
vest $8O0,000 in Tennessee State
bonds. 1t was found impossible
to buy more than $3.50, 900 worth
OF these securities and the board is
at a loss what to do with the re-
naming $3.50, 900. OF course it
won't do to keep all that money in
Minnesota. We don't need it..
We have already too much of the
root of evil lying around loose.
The last financial statement
showed that Minnesota had some
thing like 100000 to its credit.
But there is no sign of a reduction
of taxes: The money is taken out
of the pockets of Minnesota peo-
pie and loaned to the South.
There are not thousands of idle
men in Minnesota nor thousands
Of miles of almost impossible
roads. It is impossible to buy
Minnesota bonds. There is alb
solutely nothing for us to do but
to shell out for Tennessee 44's. It
is probably impossible to keep
that money here and we don't
need it anyhow. -Amoko Herald.

Dunn and the Lumbermen.

While it is true that some of the
Minnesota Iumbermen will exert
themselves to defeat r. c.. Dunn's
nomination for State auditor, on
account of the effect of the investi-
cation of the State auditors office
inaugurated by him, by which it
was shown that millions of feet of
pine had been bought by lumber
men from the State at much less
than it's value, and also that they,
the purchasers, had been compelled
to return to the State thousands of
dollars to make good the loss BY
reasons of the illegal purchases, it
is not fair to assume that the lum-
bermen are united in their dissatis-
faction over the result of the in
vestigation. Many leading firms
of lumbermen conduct their bust
ness on the strictest lines of hon
esty. They secure their pine by
honest methods, and can certainly
have no sympathy with their COM
petitors who through collision
with officials obtain logs for a
fraction of their value. Aside
from the moral questions involved,
they are not pleased to compete in
the market with firms who are
supplied with their stumpage from
State land at absurdly low prices.
These lumbermen have no more
willingness to see the State robbed
than citizens in other lines Of bust
ness, and their business is sadly
injured by the fraudulent transac-
tons. Some firms have been al
lowed to secure pine from the
State at a small per cent Of the
market value, and they will natur-
ally be hostile toward Dunn. We
hope their influence will be small
in any convention this year, and
the man who opposes Dunn on ac-
count Of his record against the
State auditors method is assuming
an unenviable attitude. Little

Wagon Freighting Alongside
Two Lines of Railroad.

1t is a notable fact that there is
a freight line between Elk River
and Minneapolis consisting Of one
team of horses and a wagon that
does a remunerative business in
competition with the railroads. If
freight can be carried thirty miles
by team at the same rates charged
by the railroads, it would seem as

One Of the pioneers in the trade.
He learned to set type in those
halcyon days when machines were
not even dreamed Of.
He had worked on most Of the
leading dailies Of the country.
Had set Horace Greeley's almost
unreliable copy and had been
RATED out Of the same Office in
later years.
| Slug No. 9 had no history, at
least no one had been able to dis
cover any, he was so reticent that
the boys in the office dubbed him
dummy
But he had a history, though he
talked very little about it. He
had married against his parents
will and in consequence had been
set adrift when he most needed
their help. His wife, a poor frail
creature, unused to the privations
lshe was compelled to endure,
faded like hot house plant and at
the birth of their first child she
died.
! Slug No. 8 was wrapped up in
this bit Of humanity and each
night as the click, click, Of the type
kept time to his thoughts he was
planning how best to care for his
little daughter. She was his life.
When the Tribune rated its Of
flee he went to Chicago, where he
earned his name by holding down
the same case for many years.
One night he took his usual place,
and the rattle Of the type in his
stick made a merry tune as it
brought to him thoughts of what
he could do with his little girl.

to have treated his countrymen to
the following description Of the
piano: -''The Europeans keep a
large four-legged beast, which

"a man, or more frequently a

down in front of the animal, and
steps on its tail, while at the same

Carlyle's Prophecy.

More than fifty years ago
Carlyle wrote:- ssThe republic
west Of us will have its trial period,
its darkest Of all hours. 1t is
travelling the high road to that
direful day. And this scourge
will not come amid famine's horrid
stride, nor will it come by ordin-
ary punitive judgments. It will
come as a hiatus in statecraft, a
murderous bungle in policy. It
will be when health is intact, crops
abundant, and the munifcent hand
open. Then so-called statesman
will cry soyer-production, the peo-
pie will 60 to the ballot box amid
hunger and restitution but sur
rounded by the glitter of self-rule,
and ratify by their ballots the
monstrous falsehood, over-pro-
duction, uttered by misstatesmen,
and vindicate by the same ballot
the famous lie, over-production,
thrown upon the breeze by servile
editors through a corrupt press.
And this brings ruin upon his
country, serfdom upon himself,
and oppression upon his children 2
