What the Editors Say

The Albert Lea Standard accuses the
state fair OF being a political machine.
brotner Day Is generally right in his
opinions. So, too, are all the fairs in
the country manipulated in like man
ner. 1t is nothing but politics wher-
ever you go.-Lake Crystal Union.
1t may be so, but it takes a Kicker
and .'knocker" to find it out. We are
glad that this we're all going -to- the
deVll, sentiment is only INDUCED in by
the Few: There's a great, big prize
offered to the man who can discover
any politics in the Faribault County
FAR association, or the annual city
election in Blue Earth. This isn't so
bad country as it might be, and those
dissatisfied will find that excursion
| rates to any old country are as cheap
at present as they ever will be.-Blue
| Earth Post.
The tariff revision which Minnesota
! Republicans favor is not revision which
| Will reduce the income of the govern
ment, but which may increase it. The
lowering to point where only legiti-
mate protection is afforded of a duty
which is so high as to be prohibitory
| Will increase the revenues, instead of
| decreasing them. The incomes which
| 1t is desired to reduce through tariff
revision are the incomes of great in
| dustrlaI combinations which are using
| duties that are so high as to exact
from home. consumers exorbitant
prices for their products. BY the seal

Testimony comes from farmers In
| Brown county, in this state, that for
maldehyde has prevented their fields
from producing smutty wheat. One
OF the witnesses stated that his crop
is thousand bushels greater than
1t would have been had he omitted
the treatment. This is worth while.
Formaldehyde is applied to the seed
ana 1t destroys the smut germ effectu-
ally giving clean product and in
creased output. If the farmers of
South Dakota will keep this fact In
mind and make use of it when the
seed time again arrives, it will profit
them.-Sioux Falls Press.
In its eagerness to defeat Ex-Con-
| gresham Eddy from securing the
nomination for governor the Herman
| Enterprise is probably doing him more
| good than harm. 1t charges him with

ceeds in proving its point the re-
suit will be that all the drinking men
will rush to Eddy's support! Between
the Enterprises charge that Mr.. Eddy

The st. Cloud Journal-Press admon-
| 1sheS its brethren of the Republican
press of the state to "have a little
sense" and their peace at this critical
! period when they are apt to say some
| thing which they will have to take
back next year when they are whipped
into line. This is just another lament
| able instance of too many fingers in
the pie.-Norman County Herald
| Some of the papers are saying that
M. j. Bowling will try to wrest the
nomination for congress, in the Sew
enth district. from 'Volsted next year.

so abnormally developed that the peo-

The state game wardens and game
commission are credited with having
confiscated for their own use the game
| unlaWfully killed last year. We hope
| that there will be better use of it
this year. The officials have no more

who Illegally shoot it.-Mower County
