What the Editors Say


If Bob Dunn doesn't get the nominal
tfon Tor governor it will not be the
fault of the country press. Fully two
thirds of our exchanges are saying
kind things about the Princeton man,
and everyone who knows him knows
MIN to be man erninently fitted to
look after the interests of the public
Dunn is not a city fop and he is not
tied up with any machine, but he is
the strongest candidate yet mentioned
just because he is friend of the peo-
pie and will look after their interests.

This office has invested in new
dictionary and will hereafter endeavor
TO grind out language while you wait.
We have used the same old language
from the same old dictionary for eleven
years and it is getting rather rusty.
In fact, when We have an itching to
jump in and roast some pup that de-
serves it, we find that our language
is so rusty and worn that it will not do
at all, but we have to use it anyhow.
With the new dictionary we expect to
trim things up right.-Manson Qowa)

1t is depressing to read the stories Of
disaster that come from the big univer-
sity fotball training fields. 1t is un-
derstood that all the good men have
left the teams with the exception of
few who expect to leave next week.
When the lists of dead and wounded
begin to come in the public will be at
loss to understand how such poor,
puny lot of fellows as the players Of
this year are able to do such execu-
| tion.-Grand Forks Herald.
Stealing ducks from the charitable in
stitutions 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 in
veStigate this matter. 1t is susceptible
| of proof that all of the ducks recently
confiscated did not reach the charitable
| institutions of the state, as provided by
I law.-Lakefield Standard.
Mr.. Eddys platform is still growing
I and will soon be broad enough and long
enough to cover every possible i'll that
| the body polite is heir to. If he is per-
| mitted to have the field to himself a
| few weeks longer, "as the only candi-
date for governor" there won't be a
plank or stick left for anyone else
| to build a platform of, regardless Of
| party.-OrtonVille Herald Star.
| The present state administration dis
| tributed the usual number of minor Of
| fees over the state last fall, some fat
| and some lean. A few newspaper men,
who were remembered, seem to be Of
| the opinion there is no man in the state
except our present governor capable Of
| enforcing the laws. Soft soap makes
| the political machine run smooth some
| timeS.-Battle Lake Review.
Bismarckers may well profit by that
| portion of Mr.. Hills speech in which he
| said: when the people are making
money the railroads are making money;
| when the railroads make money the
! people make money" He might have
| gone further and added that when your
| neighbor is making money you can
make money.-Bismarck Palladium.
Dunn's strong point is tax reform.
| While he was auditor eight years he
! made a special effort to bring personal
property on the rolls and succeeded
| so we'll that Iverson, his pupil and sue
| cessor says there is less personal prop
| erty on the list now per capita than
| there was twenty years ago.-Red Wing
| News.
1t is alleged that the future candi-
| date for governor must also stand
| squarely on the Mollie Morris plank of
| the governors platform before he can
be nominated. The papers in the case
| can be furnished to any one who de-
| sires to undertake the responsibility of
writing the plank.-Northfield News.
| A little discussion of the tax ques-
| ton; the makeup of the railroad and
warehouse commission; the construc-
| ton of the membership of the supreme
! court and educational matters, would
be healthy stuff for the public ear at
| this time.-Litchfield News Ledger.
| Wanted, ilver-chasers," is the ad-
yertisement of New York firm. The
| edition is practically exhausted, but
| there is still a small choice stock left
| in the vicinity of Lincoln, Neb.-Le
! Sueur Centre Leader.
There is always a lull before a
| storm. In politics this saying holds
| equally good. There are indications of
| a hot time in the near future.-Russeii
| Review.
| The only protection editors seem to
have in South Carolina since the Till
man verdict is the ability to shoot first.
