TO END IN SMOKE AT HELENA,

half across the continent to dis
cover his duty as chief executive of
MinnesOta is to end in smokes
That seems to be the fair infer
ence from regular and special press
reports from the capital of Ehe
Treasure state.
Three governors and three attor-
neys general four-fushed all after
noon, and at night they continued
the pastime, reinforced by one more
governor and two attorneys gem
eraI. And tonight they Will at
tend the annual smoker of the Nom
tana club, which is a mighty pro-
meter of important affairs of state.
That the governor of Minnesota
should find it necessary to journey
twelve hundred miles away from his
state to declare his line of action in
an important state affair Is passing
strange. In times gone by, there
were men In the governors chair Of
this state who performed their du-
ties in the state they served, not
being dependent upon the assistance
of any man living in another state;
and these governors of Minnesota
were giants among men. How Diff
ferent In these later days!
Thanked by throng of surginG
reporters, the governor of Mime
sofa is the central figure in a farce
being enacted at Helena, the sole
motive of which is Van SAINTS am
bftion to be renominated for the
Coyernorship of Minnesota. When
the play is over, the governors and
their attorneys general Will gaiiy
skin to their respective homes and
Van SAINT Will plume his tail feath-

Ious figure lie is cutting.

Remarks

We hate to say, 81 told you So but
it is rather remarkable that the ban
quet feature that we predicted has
doomed up so soon and SO large in that
gorgeous Northwestern gubernatorial
conference. OF course, the trifing draw
back of the other governors and attor-
neyS general not being present makes no
real difference, the banquet is just as
good, though to the ordinary plain man
it would seem as if Montana was a long
way from home for Gov. Van SAINT to
go to consult Attorney General Douglas.
And so Lord Rosebery has gone into
a party all by himself. In this he some

ton holding the true faith replied:

in all things. Let US not get tariff mad
