What the Editors Say

Since the deliverence of his Cokato
speech Eddy stock has not taken any
remarkable upward flight And why
should it.? If he had been a candidate
for his old position OF congressman his
speech would have been a platform on
which to stand But the governor of
Minnesota will not have any voice in
tariff revision Or reciprocity and the
merger question will have been settled
one way or the other before the next
governor takes his seat What the Vot-
ers want from their candidates for
governor is a clean-cut statement Of
their views on state questions. The can
didates for congress can be depended
upon to deal with tariff revision, reci-
procity and financial legislation. And
there are enough state issues to keep
the gubernatorial candidates busy. =

In the operations now in progress on
the burning sands of Asian deserts there
is hope that the Turk and the Arab
may yet be turned over to each other
in final struggle for the fulfillment Of
destiny. Any process by which equal
quantities Of Turk and Arab could be
destroyed would contain strong evil
dence of being an important part Of
divine plan. The first blood of the en-
counter is credited to the sons of the
desert, the Turks finding their new
paSt1me not so easy as fighting women
and children in the Macedonian region

1t was a pretty hard jolt the game
and fish commission got from the su-
preme court the other day. The court
says that the man buying a deer skin
in good faith to tan is not obliged to
prove that the animal was lawfully
killed, and Sam Fullerton is somewhat
indignant at the court but can't help
himself. One instance where Sammy
is not supreme. There are other Sam
mys in connection with the administra-
ton who may find that they are not al

Stealing ducks from the charitable
institutions of the state is-or should
be-a greater crime than shipping
ducks out Of the state. We believe that
the next grand jury should thoroughly
Investigate this matter. 1t is suscepti-
BILE of proof that all of the ducks re-
Gently confiscated did not reach the
charitable institutions Of the state, as
provided by law.-Lakefield Standard
The Republicans state that the lull in
business which is apparent in many Sec
tons of the country is due to the I'M
certainty of the outcome of the election
in Ohio. Such rot as this Is generally
what composes the greater part of the
6. O. p. speeches and the funniest thing
about it is that good many of the
people are just gullible enough to swal-
low it.-Norman County Herald.
We hope that next year not a single
farmer will help a neighbor thresh out
of the shock until after his own grain
is in the stack. This waiting for a
machine to thresh out of the shock has
caused more loss to our country than
any one thing that ever happened

The postoffice scandal investigation
brings to light a lot of Ohio and In
diana politicians involved in the crafts
and steals. They are the ones that
know how these things are managed, if
anyone does.-Mower County Tran

They are getting little chesty in St.
