OTHER EDITORS OPINIONS

have united in advancing the price of
milk to cents per quart for the winter
Increased wages and cost of
is assigned as the cause of
the advance.
Heron Lake News: The attitude of
every candidate for the state will be
closely watched by the people, and the
man who 'plugs" against the reelection
of Senators Clapp aud Nelson will not
go far. The people are of the opinion
that our representation at Washington
counts for more than who shall be
governor.
Jackson Republican,: If we do not
give thanks for anything else, let us
give thanks for the fact that we live in
Minnesota, the bread and butter state,
the state with the finest climate-One
year and one season with another-of
any state in the union. Minnesota
sure is a winner any way you take her,
and we ought to be thankful that we
are living here.
Fairmont Sentinel: Would it not
be a joke on Frank Day if he should have
to remain loyal to his party and sup
port Grover Cleveland for President of
the United States? Mr.. Day would
perhaps think it unkind of the editoria!
Fraternity if they reproduced some of
his scathing editorials written during
Cleveland's candidacy and his first term
in the presidential chair. Perhaps this
very reason is causing Mr.. Day to do
all sorts of things to discredit Mr. CleYe-
J a Ids aspirations in that direction.
St. Cloud Journa'-Press: The public
schools never have aud never will
make experienced business men, pro-
fessional men, or in any great degree
fit them for any special business or
calling. Talk about 'fads'-this is the
greatest fad of all-aud the most inn
practical. The public schools can only
give the boys and girls an educational
foundation. If boy is to become a
banker the best place for him to learn
is in a successful bank. If he is to
keep books, he must go to work for
some house that employs bookkeepers.
Elk River Star News: TO casual
observer creamery doesn't appear to
be much of an institution in a town.
But it is. It gives the farmers cash
market for their milk and eggs at top
notch prices. Take it here in Elk
River. You see few farmers around
the creamery but you don't realize that
they are receiving over $4,000 every
month for milk and eggs-enough over
two thousand to make the total for
the year at least $4,000. Yes, a cream
cry is mighty good thing for a town
and for the farmer
Spring Valley Sun: On Monday.
Dec. 21, O3 the Rev. f. L. Anderson Of
the First Baptist church at Austin
together with the Rev. A. Tiffton of
Sleepy Eye will begin series of special
meetings in the Baptist church at
Spring Valley. Mr.. Anderson is a
speaker of rare talent and one who
will put the Gospel of Christ inla straig ght
forward way aid that is what the
people of Spring Valley like. Mr..
Anderson comes not as stranger, he
has been here and spoken to us before
so he comes to us as a friend to both
old and young.
Minneapolis Journal: MIR. Rockfel-
lar is still alive and his day of scorn
has come. Everywhere he is feared and
dreaded, it is true, but he is also scorned.
No one respects his character, no one
attaches any importance to his:piety
Even the recipients of his generosity
do not admire him. After all there is
something in this world-even In this
modern American world b s d s
money, and John D. Rockefeller knows
it better than anyone else. More than
anyone else he has had an opportunity
to find out what money can do for q
man and he has found it powerless
even to mask him from the public.
Minneapolis Tribune: If the men
we elect to high Office were chosen solely
for transcendent qualities of mind and
heart-if exalted virtue and talent
placed them on a pedestal above the
generality of mankind, they might in
deed be objects of envy. But political
life is life of intrigue and corruption,
and it often happens that the success
full aspirant for public hOnors wins his
way by adroit wire pulling, chicanery
and dishonesty, which, if they received
their just reward, would land him in
the state penitentiary rather than in
the legislative halls or judicial seats of
the nation.
LIE Seuer Sentinel: The *classic ef
feet" of the white marble of the new
state capitol stained and grimed over
before the building is near completion,
has faded and SO has appropriation
after appropriation and now the way is
being paved for million for additional
land surrounding. Minnesota is 9
great state and ought to have a capitol
worthy OF her position, and if some
one would take that capitol commits
sion out and drown it, we may get one
before the close of the. century if oul
finances hold out ~5&s2 ~.
Hayfeld Transcript: The effort o1
those newspaper which are supporting
+. c. Dunn for the republican nomina
ton for governor, to discourage th.
prosecution of the states case against
the railroad merger and to bring tht
governor and his supporters into ridi
cule because of their endeavor to en-
force the laws of the state, will prevail
but little against the sentiment which
was expressed in the election returns o1
