What the Editors Say

The Sherburne Advance makes bold
to say that ''Ray Jones may be nomi-
mated for lieutenant governor again,
but whole lot of Republicans will not
put an x after his name on the ballot"
Which reminds US that sometimes the
bigger thief man is, the greater num-
Der of Republicans jump at the chance
to put the X opposite his name when he
is candidate for office. Ray Jones
ran several thousand votes ahead of
Van SAINT at the last election, and his
record then was no better than it is
now.-Freeborn County Standard.
Unions and working men of all
classes curse the conditions under which
they are forced to live today. They ask
for better conditions, and they protest
against every, increase in the cost of
living. When they have troubles with
their employees they strike and commit
anarchy, but when they go to the ballot
box, they persist in voting for men who
are either not in sympathy with the
rights of labor, or being in sympathy,
fail to do their duty to the. laboring
men and common people of the coun-
try-Grand Forks Plaindealer.

more in subduing them (Which we
haven't finished yeti the government is
now about to buy out for $6,000,000 the
real estate holdings of the friars in the
islands. Great place to dump money,
those islands, money taken from every
family in the United States by tariff
and internal revenue taxes.-Litchfield

Emperor William has had a polypus
cut out of his throat. The Russians
and POlackS always cut them out them
selves. They simply repeat their name
forward and backward few times and
saw the growth loose. If the emperor
would go back to old Queen Catherine
and look up his distant relatives he
could doubtless find names that would
sibly that is where they came from in
the first place.-Britt Tribune.
The trouble in Panama has again
stimulated the imperialists to an ardent
study of the atlas. Chances are that
in less than a year hence they'll be
Whooping 'er up for the acquisition of
the whole territory from the isthmus

The judge has twice before been a
candidate for this position, and his
friends supposed he had given it up as
a bad job. Many of them have allied
themselves on other candidates, and
the conditions are now such that
there will be fight for delegates in
every county in which the judge has
heretofore received a solid backing,
without having to make fght.-Elk

When Judge Collins announced his
candidacy, and the antiDunn people
