What the Editors Say


remarks: 1.-The Faribault Pilot has dis
covered that the Democratic party is
harmonious" The discovery is no
doubt genuine. for the Pilot is ordinarily
quite authentic in its statements, but
how about the Republican party, espe-
cially in this state? If the relations
existing between Van SAINT, Heatwole,
Eddy, Dunn. Clapp, Shevlin ct al, are
what is called harmony, then 1t is a
particular brand of which the layman
has little knowledge. Give us more Of
such harmony and the next governor
will be a DEMONSTRATIONS Morning
Independent
Had Mr.. Eddy kept away from Eu-
rope and all immi Migration schemes he
would today be a stalwart figure In
the Ninth district. But this thing has
hurt him throughout the district i'm
measurably and will prove a heavy
handicap.
Mr.. Eddy has a genius for playing
| to the grand stand, and he will see to
| it that something is doing most Of the
| time between now and the moment
when the nomination of a Republican
candidate for governor is announced
| Crookston Times.
The Duluth News-Tribune counters
| deftly on those senators who signed
| the petition to extend the time for cut
| ting pine on the forest reserve, by re-
| ferring to their unanimous vote last
| January in favor of free lumber. The
| difference in their attitude is merely
| that between the concrete and the abb
stract. AS an abstract proposition they
favor free trade in lumber; as con-
crete proposition they stand by the
| lumbermen.-St. Cloud Times
Minneapolis millers want reciprocity
with Canada-Want a chance to trade
| for wheat. While they were helping
| the Republican party to build the high
| tariff wall and preaching to the farm
ers the benefits of protection the Ca
nadians were pleading for fair trade.
! Now the Canadians are taking care of
| themselves and laughing out loud at
! the somersault of the Minneapolis mil
| lers.-Freeborn County Standard.
| Some of Frank Eddy's tariff talk
| sounds quite Democratic. But Eddy
never expressed those sentiments in
| congress. Congressman Knute Nelson
voted for the Mills bill, Democratic
measure, but was backslider after.
| Congressman John Lind boldly advo-
Gated tariff reduction on the floor of
! the house while a Republican repre-
sentative. But Eddy's bravery, though
| late, is welcome.-Little Falls Herald.
| When Gen. Miles retired from the
army, young ass down in Georgia
made a display of Confederate flags
and relics, and he is now surprised tt
find the gallant old veterans of the
Confederacy laughing at him. OF al
the choice fools in the world, the cal
low one who seeks notoriety is tn,
most delicious, as we'll as the mos
persistent.-SiouX Falls Argus-Leader
The personal property valuation II
the cities has been largely increased
this year, but not in proportion to theil
growth. The increase, however, will be
used as bluff to the state board, thai
| no further increase is justified. A few
firms there should be required to pay
as much as some counties.-Taylors
i Falls Journal.
! Gov La Follette's mere unsupported
assertion does not prove anything. II
is up to him to stubstantiate his charges
of bribery. Put up or shut up-once
for all. That's the only thing for oul
voluble executive to do. Everybody
else seems to be standing pat.-NeN
Richmond Republican Voice.
If the seven by three and a third
government down on the connecting
link between the two Americas dom
want to be operated on, Uncle San
can renew negotiations with Nicara-
qua. The latter has some advantages
over the Panama ditch.-St. CLOUD
