HaskelI's Broken Loose Again. Loo
Out!
From Yesterdays Minneapolis Times.
WORRIED ALREADY.

From Yesterdays Minneapolis Times
WORRIED ALREADY.
The Times remarks about the failure of
the Wood Harvester Works appear to have
produced sad sort Of fits in the office of the
Dispatch and Globe, of St. Paul. They
have been honored with elaborate replies
from both. The G O outfit, which ar
rived in town the day before yesterday, and
has not yet paid months board or a per-
sonal tax in the town, pretends to find in
them deadly insult to st. Paul. We under
stand that the state CT public opinion toward
The o b e in st. Paul Is such that anything
taken as a compliment by the city. With
this in view, one can see how frenzied The
G 10 be would be to strike popular chord
to resent an insult or stand to to repel board
that the policy, shared in by both cities, but
initiated by st. Paul. where by they divided
on the subject Of harvester works, and both
scored failures, where one big success was
possible, was mistake. There cannot be
any question about that. None but carpet
baggers. brought in on free passes to mould
public opinion from the standpoint of a single
interest, do question it.
And why shouldn't we feel worried over
the presence in town Of w. E. Haskell and
his St. Paul edition Of his trans Mississippi
newspaper?
Doesn't he possess many qualifications for
molding the public mind Of St. Paul that the
G o b Q Outfit can never have? Hasn't he,
for example, extreme youth, a judgment not
over-ripe Qf correctly gagged by the Mime
apolitans) and the prestige Of printing a
newspaper not altogether popular with his
own townsmen?
Moreover, doesn't he possess the same GER
tif1cate Of good character, Of sometime con-
tinued sobriety, and of marked docility under
treatment granted the members Of his gradu-
ating class by an Eastern institution dedi-
Gated to the cure Of the Too-Early and Too
Often Hilarious.
Isn't it natural, therefore, that any kind Of
an Outfit should feel worried when a gen.
tleman so gifted breaks loose in this town?
There's no knowing what accident might be-
fall him or the town, or the extent of the
damages which he might lay against its peo-
pie.
True, an Outfit which hasn't paid month 8
board and had the privilege of contributing
a personal tax isn't entitled to any special
consideration but what shall be said in de-
tense of a Minneapolis Outfit which doesn't
even buy its lunches here or patronize the
toothpicks Of this town?
Howsoever st. Paul and the great North
west is the special field Of this particular
Outfit, and much as we should like to monop-
olize It, knowing its worth. we realize we
cannot. There are others-Haskell, for in
stance-and may the man who cultivates 1t
the wisest and the best be the one who wins
We welcome, therefore, our metropolitan
rival Gladly we read the Graduates geeful
announcement that 800 subscribers are already
taking The Daily Keely Cure.
Here's to you, Haskell, and hoping that
you touch the 5000, or the $1,000. or better
still. the SEC, COO mark-the greater your cir
culation the less there's in it for you
Paint the town a gorgeous vermillion and
don't forget the yellow hues.
