What the Editors Say

Peter Grosscup, United States dis
trlct judge at Chicago, who has become
noted for his uprightness and ability,
and more yet, for, independence in his
decision and criticisms of the evil prac-
tees of the trusts and combines, was
recently offered 100000 and a life posi-
ton as attorney of the Northern Secu-
rites company, if he would resign from
the bench and enter it's service. In
contrast to that of most judges and
lawyers under like circumstances he re-
fuses the bride and in effect explains
that he will continue to fulfill the du-
ties of the trust imposed in him as
judge, regardless of his personal inter
est. All honor to Judge Grosscup-he
is one of a thousand.-Albert Lea
Standard.
Frank M. Eddy is now talking reci-
procity to beat the band and some peo-
pie are inclined to charge him with do
ing this to get the favor of the masses
because the principle of reciprocity is
popular with the people and Frank
wants to be governor. Why did he not
work for this principle when in con-
gress? Like a lot of other weakened
public servants, he bowed to the will
of the moneyed aristocracy of the East
and by his vote in congress helped to
maintain the curse of high tariff and
the exclusion of many articles the
United States needed. Frank ought to
go way back.-Sleepy Eye Herald.
The Cass Lake Voice is responsible
for the statement that certain unprin-
cfpled lumber interests are trying to
stir up trouble between the Chippewa
Indians and the government. The vic
tory of the Indians over the United
States troops at Bear island a few
years ago is said to be an argument to
excite them to further resistance to the
authorities. If the guilty parties can
be located, they should be severely
dealt with, as their action is nothing
less than treason. = Long Prairie
Leader.
1t is said that politicians from other
states are getting exasperated at the
way Minnesotans are getting all the
lucrative positions which are at the
disposal of the government. They even
threaten to bring the matter up before
congress during the next session. Able
men are required for these positions,
and Minnesota seems to be the state
that has them. Those politicians do
not seem to have taken that into con-
sideration.-Swift County Monitor.
Judging from the way Mark Hanna is
summoning Republican takers TO Ohio
from every part of the country, there
must be a red-hot campaign going on
there. When Mark draws on them they
get there" but will they be able to
pull his chestnuts out of the fire? 1t is
said that Ohio, with its $4,000 to 100000
Republican majority may go Demo-
cratic.-Montevideo Leader.
There ought to be a regulation put in
e., L., =, Dell 20 fING
effect that a man who SHORES must
wear a sound-proof mask when he &C.
cupies a berth. 1t is an injustice to
other patrons to be compelled to listen
to the trumpeting of one of these fell
lows when he has paid good money for
a chance to sleep.-Anoka Herald.
A headline in a Chicago newspaper
over an article from New York reads,
mo Apathy in New York" With 1000
Dowieites 'Hin it's midst" and mayor
atty campaign on hand, New York can
not be apathetic. 1t may be mighty
sick, but certainly not apathetic.-Ab-
erdeen Daily News.
The following is an interesting sam
pie of Republican campaign literature:
1.-The Republican party has ruled this
nation, with the exception Of two adj
m1nlStratlOnS, Tor IOrty-Jnree years,
and under it's guiding hand the popu-
lation has practically trebled."-Morri-
son County Democrat.
The Redwood Gazette commends a
candidate "for the preliminary manner
in which he has commenced his cam
paign.' This reminds us of a time when
it was hoped that 1.-The acrimony of the
campaign would be pleasant. North
field News.
