there may be another story to tell. a
large standing army is q curse--an aW-
full one, and the history Of Europe clear
~ proves as much.
The Minneapolis Journal says that
Governor Lind was earning his salary
yesterday when he called in Warden
Wolfer and assured him that politics
would not be allowed to embarrass him /;
that he might feel perfectly secure in his
position, and that he wished INN to re-
main and not to accept the offer from
Connecticut. He went further and as
sured the warden that he would RECON-
mend to the legislature an increase Of
his present salary, 5000 to $4,000, the
amount offered Wolfer in Connecticut
Minnesota has been getting the services
of $4,000 man for $4,000 for num-
Der Of years, and can well afford to give
Wolfer the increase which the governor
proposes to recommend. This recon-
mendation is not made as the result Of
any demand OH the part of Mr.. Wolfer,
but in recognition of the value of his
services, and in recognition of the fact
that Minnesota can just as we'll afford to
pay him $4,000 as Connecticut. Lam

Senator Nelson has offered an amend
ment to the postoffice appropriation bill
providing that the government IN print
ing return cards and envelopes to be
sold to the public, shall not print on
such envelope the name of any lndlvid-
ual, firm or corporation. This is an
amendment that ought to be adopted.
The government has been engaged in the
work of doing this printing free for a
number of years back and it is time it
ought to be stopped. There is no more
reason why the government should en-
gage in the work of furnishing this print
ed matter free to the people who use en-
velopes, than there is for it to engage in
the business of furnishing free tea, cof-
fee, sugar or dress goods to those who
buy postage stamps or money orders.
Vnd yet it would be just as sensible to
do the latter as it IS for the government
to engage in the former as it is now do
ing at the expense Of the printers all ov-
er the country. 1t is to be- hoped that
Senator Nelson will press the matter in
his usual aggressive was so that it will
command the attention of the senate, so
that body may realize the injustice of
the present system and abolish it entire
ly and put an unjust discrimination
against the printers.-Mankato Free
Press.
Faribault Democrat-The message is
conservative, well-considered docu-
ment. 1t is eminently sound in It's ad-
vice, calmly points out defects and
courteously asks for remedies. It is
not in the least sensational and shows
study and thought with the hope of i'm
proving our whole state system.
Crookston Times-The whole matter
of correction of the grain inspection is
more directly in the hands of Gov. Lind
than in the Legislature, and the dust
which it is now attempted to throw in
the eyes of the public by means of Mr..
Jacobson's resolution is not possessed
of sufficient power TO find any re-
spectacle place of Judgement with the
intelligent farming community.
Shakopee Tribune-The message met
even the highest anticipat1ons regarding
it. 1t developed Lind s intimate kaowl-
edge of each department of the state
government and deepened the peoples
abiding confidence in his conscientious
determination to reform existing abuses,
and his ability to do this if supported
by the Republican legislature.
When you see a person borrowing
trouble in this rough old world where
there is plenty of the ready made article
lying around loose, you usually mark
him as person having soft spot some
where in his make up. AS 1t is with
people, SO it is with nations. And what
about Uncle Sam, VIII goes 10000 miles
away, not TO borrow trouble in forcing
several million savages into his family
circle, but he actually buys it and pays
twenty millions for it? And how many
million of treasure and how much of the
blood of his own children il will take to
hold in his hated embrace these adopted
hordes remain to be seen. Martin Coun.
