What the Editors Say

Replying to the shot of the Review
exhorting him not to impress the
baking powder column of the Browns
Valley Tribune into the service of Can
didate Eddy, Postmaster Gordon de-
clareS, if necessary, he will use the
powder column, not the baking powder
column. That's the real stuff. We adj
mire that sort Of grit. 1t counts. And
the Review will gladly loan him our

The typemakers of the United
States are on a strike, not because of
wages, but because the unions demand
the right to select the men who shall
or shall not work, in other words, if an
employer wants a man he must apply
to the union and must accept such per-
son as the union shall name, no matter
how diStaSteful he may be to the en-
ployer. Was unauthorized impudence
ever carried to such extremes before?
Surely, organized labor is tottering to
Its fau.-PreSton Times.

eff State Auditor Iverson sells state
lands in Roseau county this fall it will
mean loss to the state. The demand
for state land at the present time is
scarcely up to that of one year ago and

will want it and pay the right price

The opening of the Red Lake lands
Nov. 10 will bring thousands of land
seekers to Northern Minnesota, and
while but small fraction of these will
take homesteads, large numbers will

section. Such has been the history if
every movement in this direction.-Be-
midi Pioneer.
And now comes one of those big
North Dakota yarns from Fargo to the
effect that a farmer across the river
has raised over fifty bushels Of wheat
to the acre. Of course, they mean the
sum total since he moved onto the
farm-Crookston Times.
The big city dailies have no choice
for governor-yet. Being all from Mis-
souri, they want to know how the pie
is going to be cut before they help
sharpen the knife.-Ortonville Herald
Star.
There are only five automobiles in
