Has the republican state cen
trail committee gone daft? II
not, what does it mean by an
nouncing that Van SAINT prefers
to run against John Lind? The
PIONEER has always beena friend
of the present governor, believ-
ing him to be broad guaged,
large-hearted citizen. But if it
is his Judgment, and not a sbluff, "
that he prefers John Lind as an
opponent, in order to test his own
strength, he had better put on
some steel corsets, for the winds
are going to sbloW lax hurrican"

The Cass Lake Times lastWeek

puncture the boom of w. f.
Street for congress. This ought
to be considered a fine tribute to

in to show the folly Of Streets

ging for the nomination Of Halvor
Steenerson who has, it says,
more push and natural ability

now is: Does the Times consider
Steenerson the easiest man and
Street the hardest man for the
fusionists to beat next fall, on.
does it really desire the election
of a republican congress in the

The steel strike is a failure. In

The steel strike is a failure. In
one sense it ought to be. For at
this time, when the American
financier is exerting himself to
release ourindustrial institutions
from dependence on Europe for
money to operate on a large
scale, the laborer has no business
to ask that he be given more than
his share Of the general prosper
ity. It is no time for him TO
wage a war for labor organiza-
Ition. Let him wait until the
South American and the oriental
trade has become ours by large
percentage over Europe, and
then go after his peculiar notions
Of social reform. But in the
meantime, if he wants a large
share Of the profits, let him buy
steel stocks and become part
owner of the concern.

Rev. James Porter Of Green
backville, Va kissed a new made
bride without asking the bride
groom s permission, and received
from the latter an additional fee
of a hard jolt on the jaw which
laid him cold and limp in a cor
ner of the ring. The press re-
ports intimate that. the young
man, having never been married
before, did not know that kissing
the bride was a custom which
reconciles many minister to his
profession. We take this occasion
to state that the young man has
established a precedent which in
time we hope to see bear fruit in
the adjustment of the promiscu-
Gus kissing habit so common at
weddings and social gatherings.
Marriage is not crime, and we
can see no reason why a modest
woman who has done nothing
worse than to wed should be
punished by being kissed by the
minister who does the job and
the bystanders who witness the
ceremony. We doubt if she
cares to sample all kinds of
arenas from a sour stomach to
the incense of a corn juice de

A New Town,

w. r. Street, land Spectator,
county attorney of Beltrami
county and candidate for the re-
publican congressional nomina-
ton, had toWnsite scheme up
his sleeve when he went through
Crookston Tuesday. He was not
saying anything about it, bat he
bought half section Of land, the
lay Of which seemed a bit Pc
culiar. Tt consists Of four
eighties, two on each side Of the
Great Northern tracks, a few
miles east Of Sheylin, about half
way between Sheylin and Sol
way. Today Mr.. Street COM
|pleted the deal for the purchase
Iof an adjoining half section.
There is nothing very sus-.
picious in all this perhaps But
for some time plans have been
maturing in the minds Of certain
gentlemen for a logging road
running through Beltrami
county south towards Detroit.
This so-called logging road
which will tap the finest farming
land of Beltrami county as well
as some Of its best pine, and
which pokes it's nose SO near to
Detroit, is now about to become
an accomplished fact, and be
hold, it is to cross the Great
Northern at a point about mid
way between SolWay and Shevlin.
It is evident that Mr.. Street
went to ST. Paul the first Of the
week for other purposes than to
arrange for a Beltrami county
exhibit at the state fair, and
that he occasionally thinks Of
other things than the republican
congressional nomination in the
Ninth district. Cr ookston Times
