What the Editors. Say


Collins resigns, to run for governor;
Van SAINT appoints Douglas to the va
cancy on the supreme bench; he also
appoints Oscar Hallam to fill Douglas
place; and when the legislature meets
Van goes to the United States senate;
Clapp gets anything he can find that
no one else wants. However, it is not
claimed that either Heatwole, or Eddy,
or Dunn, or Clapp, or Tams Bixby is
irrevocably committed to this pro-
gramme.-Wabasha Herald.
Would it not be a good idea for this
man Johnson, by grace of Gov. Van
SAINT, public examiner, to make new
ruling" on state bank examinations,
definitely stating whether they are to
be examined before or after the alb
sconding of the cashier whose pecu-
lations txtend back two or three years?
Johnson is a good hunter, only he
hunts elephants with popguns and
Earth City Post.
Speculation is rife as to who will
be appointed to the bench in case
Judge Collins resigns. 1t is waste of
time guessing. The thing is fixed. At
torney General Douglas will get the
place, and Oscar Hallam will be ap
pointed to succeed Mr.. Douglas 1t is
part of the DEAL The administration
is perfectly willing to save the people
the expense and trouble of holding a
state .convention.-Sauk Center Her

Doesn't it strike you, dear reader,
that there is something about our rela-
tionship to that Colombian government
nnlIanC0 irICf ri OH
from moral standpoint? OF course,
Uncle Sam is big, husky fellow, who
can tie one hand behind him and lick
the stuff1ng out of forty little repub-
lies like Colombia, but ought he to do
it, even at the price of a great canal?-

Some Hennepin county politicians
are talking of disinterring the remains
of William Hennery Eustis with the
view of using them in the coming cam
| paign. They have so far been unable
to decide whether to use them in the
| gubernatorial campaign, or enter them
against John Lind in the Fifth district
congressional campaign. = Willmar

Hope is always singing a song
Northfield News.
Indeed, yes! And Hope is not the
only fellow that sings songs. The oil
promoter does fine stunt in that line,
and the mine promoter is somewhat of
"a singer, himself. But when Van SAINT
gets keyed up on the merger, he makes
more noise than any of thenl-and he
expects an encore.-St. James Journal.
If the public examiner had spent a
little more time in some of the de-
funct banks instead of counting post
age stamps in the county offices, con-
siderable loss to depositors and stock
holders might possibly have been
avoided. It's a case Of saving at the
spigot to waste at the bunghole.-
Hastings Gazette.
When bank failed during the last
Democratic administration it was the
common thing for Republican papers
to- say that such a bank had gone DEM
ocratic. No reason is given by those
papers why so many banks are being
| closed at this time. = Buffalo Lake

They are having personal beauty
show down in New York for both male
and female contestants. It is said that
Frank Eddy and Bob Dunn have paired
and will not compete for the prize
