What the Editors Say

There seems to be something radical
ly wrong in the manner in which gov
eminent lands are opened for settle
ment. According to the rules govern
ing the same no one but man of I'M
usual physical endurance has much Of
q chance. First there is an endless
waiting at the land office men and
women standing in line until many of
them fall from exhaustion. Then there
is wild rush for the reservation to
locate claim, the weak being trampled
under foot and outdistanced by the
strong. After that comes the race back
to the land office to make the necessary
entry before somebody else files on the
same piece of land. 1t would seem that
some better way could be devised
which would give the weak an equal
chance with the strong.-Red Wing Re

Judge Collins, of ST. Cloud, is again
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor. No one will say
that the judge would not make Mime
sofa good governor, but he has not
and never can have what Bob Dunn
has-the perfect confidence and esteem
of the people, won through personal
touch and association with them. Judge
Collins will cut no figure whatever so
long as he retains his position on the
bench, as until he has some confidence
in his own candidacy the people will
have none whatever.-Hubbard County

When it is known that certain
number Of United States senators are
interested in the Panama canal bonds
the sudden and successful revolution"
in Panama is not so surprising. 1t was
convenient that several United States
war vessels "happened' to be in Pan
anna waters when the revolution took
place to back up the recognition which
was given with such indecent haste.
There Is nothing in this newest revolu-
ton and our part in it for us to be
proud of.-Hutchinson Leader.
When they find out who is Gov. Van
SAINTS choice for the nomination, some
of his appointees among the newspa-
per boys will probably discover where
they are at on the gubernatorial ques-
ton and cease switching from one can
didate to another so much. One Of
them has been for Dunn, Eddy, Van
SAINT and Collins by turn and in the
order given. 1t ought to get anchor
ed pretty soon.-Warren Register.
Politically it is not so much what is
done as who does it. The Cleveland
administration was roundly roasted by
it's opponents for depositing $4,000
900 of public money in private banks.
The present administration has so dis
posed Of $4,000, 000-and the sum is
increasing daily-and the aforesaid
roasters are saying never a word

The laboring men in the harvester

to get employment. The harvester

rest Of the trusts follow this example
there will soon be quite an army of
jobless workmen.-Red Lake Courier.
The st. Cloud Journal Press uses the
names of Buchanan and the president
in the same breath, and concludes that
Buchanan has taken hold of his duties
with his accustomed Yigor." Now,

well the ingredients. Tell your readers
how proud you are Of them.-Long
