Then why condemn the poor miners
and their friends for trying to help
themselves to a fair share Of the fruits
i Of that prosperity and improved scondi-
1 ton Of business which is making this,
according to the newspapers, 4 land Of
plenty. Neither the Lord nor the oper-
ators will ever concede them anything
WI thout a fight, and yet You call them dis
contents, agitators and socialists.
It is pretty certain that Davis will lie
reelected. Minnesota could not find
an ADLER representative in the senate.
Crookston Tribune.
| Nothing certain about it, at all. At
ter the lmbecile effort made by the last
legislature to be Of some Use to the state,
what reason is there to believe that the
next legislature will be Republican?
And if it isn't, what reason has G. X.
Davis to expect any favors at its hands?
If it is, look out for a fight. There are
men in the party who consider them
selves just as able to represent this
great state in the house of lords as Davis.
SPAN wants to buy four tirst-class
battle ships. But the question that
bothers her is where to get the money

! Why not let her have few of ours!
We have been standing by the decrepit
old monarchy so long that it
wouldn't hurt if we'd allow her just one
more favor. Lord knows we don't need
'em. We make lots of blow about teach
ing Japan lesson, ard even send a ship
over to brighten helpless Morocco, but
when it comes to taking hand IN a
just and righteous cause, we haven't got
backbone enough to fire single shot
The trouble with US seems to be that
we don't care to fight any more unless
there's something in it for US. Princi,
pie has been altogether eliminated.
John Sherman thinks the trust ques-
ton is the greatest one of the present
time.-St. Cloud Times.
Naturally enough. John thinks it
must be pretty big concern to own him.
James Bryce argues in an English
periodical against our annexation OF
Hawaii. But what is Mr.. Bryce's opin-
ion of England's annexation of the Solo
mon Islands and the Upper Nile.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
| But does one wrong justify another:
The English policy of territorial acqui-
sition is one that has made it cursed of
all nations. Do we want to follow it?
Judge Searle is one of the few men
who could bury John Lind with neat
ness and dispatch Ortonville Herald
Star. 49,. 49,.
That isn't certain Ivy any means, but
this much is: When the Republicans of
this state succeed in overcoming the
machine long enough to place good
men like Judge Searle at the head of
their ticket, you won't find John Lind
offering any opposition. Mr.. Lind. it
will pay you to remember. is not seek
ing, and never did seek, the governor
ship for the sake of gratifying personal
ambition. When he made the race u year
ago he did so only out of a sense Of du-
ty and in response to strong demand
among a large element of our people for
flavor of decency in connection with
positions of public trust.
So long as the interests of the people
are secondary to that of party, the good
honest, trusting souls, who imagine that
the ascendancy Of this or that party will
remedy existing political evils, are
doomed to disappointment.-Morris Sun
That's the plain truth without any
adornments. AS long as the partisan
spirit prevails; as long as men neglec,

their policies for them, the chances q
improvement are meagre and the DANCE
