Greetings to the Governor.


Jacobson's resolution is not possessed of
sufficient acrrying power to find any respect
able place of Judgment among the Intelligent
farming community::-Crookst Times.
MIR. Lind's message is a clear statement OF
state issues There is nothing radical about
it, and it is evident that the new governor
attributes the evils which have caused dis
cussion in the past more to deficiency In adj
ministration of laws than to lack of laws
Little Falls Herald.
II there is any class of citizens OF the state
who are disappointed with Gov Lind's
sage, they not Republicans.-WinonaR Re-
| publican.
The reception rendered to Gov. and Mrs.
Lind by the citizens of st. Paul Tuesday
night was a grand affair. We extend to Gov.
| Lind our congratulations and best wishes;
| may his administration be wise one and in
! the interests of the greatest number Of his
constituents.-G County Herald.
Gov. Lnds inaugural message was pretty
| tame from the standpoint of those who
claimed recently that everything connected
with the state administration wrong, but
! it was fairly able paper.-Norman County
Index.
Gov. Lind's inaugural message Is a very
able document, Independent in tone, and max
| ing recommendations, which, If carried out,
could not help but prove beneficial to the best
| interests of the state. In view of the trust
| in school books and creamery supplies he
recommends that the state publish its own
books and that state prison labor be utilized
| in the manufacture of butter tubs and dairy
utensils, to be sold to the farmers at actual
| cOSt.-Blue Earth County EnterDriSe.
Gov. Lind's inaugural message contains
many suggestions for REFORM but the tone OF
the epistle is very different from his cam
paign speeches and those Of his cohorts. The
Recommendation that the offices of surveyor
of logs and lumber, oil inspector and clerk of
the supreme court be made salaried Offices
cam scarcely meet with opposition even from
Republican l1ouse.-Delano Eagle.
The Pioneer Press is disappointed in the
| message of Gov. Lind. and is forced to say
that sit abounds with recommendations, but
| in the main they are conservative and pru-
dent, and, it may generally be said, sensible
and salutary." The trouble is not with Mr..
Lind. who has shown himself different
| than his friends expect, but In the false esti-
nation of the man by the Pioneer Press and
| Republican politicians Observation-Disclosures
| Review

Those persons, of whom there are no doubt
a good many, who looked for something
startling, radical and sensational in Gov
Lind's inaugural, will be disappointed 1t is
nothing of the kind. On the contrary, it is
calm. conservative, vigorous and instruc-
tive document, dealing entirely with practical
public questions.-sauk Rapids Free Press.
Ring out the old, ring in the new John
Lind is the peoples governor The great
gathering in his honor on Tuesday evening in
| st. Paul demonstrated that fact. We were
present with $500 others, and if the enthuA-
asm displayed is any indication Of the real
sentiment towards him. he certainly ought
to feel gratifed.-Rush City Post.
| Poor John Lind! Uneasy rests the head
that wears crown" Lind now wears the
crown of victory, and the problems that he
must meet and solve many and perplex
| ing. Lind is a shrewd, able man, and
consummate diplomat, and he will overcome
difficulties that would stagger most men,
! Fergus Falls Globe
Gov. John Lind's message is conceded to
| be one Of the strongest state papers ever pre-
scented by executive of the state and rich
in wise and strong recommendations to the
| legislature, among which is a reduction of
the tax levy; an effort to reach all personal
property and subject it to taxation the i'm
| position Of tax upon all corporation fran
chises; an increase in the gross earnings tax
| of railroads; against an increase of normal
| schools; for a generous treatment Of educa-
| tional Institutions; a further development Of
the state Irvine plant, and in favor of the
| initiative and referendum.-St. James Jour-
nal.
Gov. Lind's message was a well written
! document and was for the most part sensi-
| BILE one. He failed to go after the railroad
| and warehouse commissioners as one would
have expected after his acrid campaign criti-
cisms of their habits and customs. Neither
! did the binding Irvine deal get daylight let
through it, as had been promised.-Anoka
| Herald.
| The message of Gov. John Lind Is con-
| sentative, we'll considered document 1t is
! eminently sound in Its advice and calmly
| points out defects and courteously asks for
remedies. 1t is not in the least sensational
| and shows study and thought with the hope
| of improving our state SUPERINTENDENT
| Democrat.
1t is now Gov. John Lind and perhaps
never before in the history of the state has
| any man stepped into the high Office of gov
| ernor with more confidence back of him than
! does John Lind Notwithstanding the fact
| tudl party opposed TO the new governor
| politically has control of the house and SEN
| ate, that is in session. the people look to
Lind to remedy wrongs and every senator and
| representative dare not dispute the policy of
| the new governor.-Morton Enterprise
| Gov. Lind's message met even the highest
| anticipations regarding it. It developed his
| intimate knowledge of each department of the
| state government, and deepened the peoples
abiding confidence in his conscientious de-
termination to reform existing abuses, and
| his ability to do this if supported by the Re-
| publican observation-disclosures Tribune
Gov. Lind's message contained some sur
| prises and among them is the advocating Of
! the state to print school books to offset the
paper company and other trusts newly organ
| lied. If trusts could be killed otherwise wa
| would not be in favor of the state entering
| into the manufacturing business further be-
| cause check must come to this business
| somewhere.-Norwood Times.

an Episcopal bishop was guest at a dinner
