What the Editors Say

A good deal of stress is laid nova
days on the value of q non-partisan
Judiciary. The principle of non-par-
tisan Judiciary is all right. So, also, is
the principle Of non-corporation jul
dietary. On either principle Thomas D.
OBrien is entitled to the vote of every
union workingman in this county who
is qualified to vote. He is a lawyer OF
the frst rank, a man of pronounced
popular sympa thies and OF the highest
personal standing. Upright both as
lawyer and man, fearless always, di-
rect, courteous and agreeable in man
nerS, he was never known to turn his
back on principle, a friend or a fell
low man in distress. The reasons which
entitle Tom OBrien to the vote of all
self-respecting workingmen apply with
equal force to every good citizen,
whatever his rank or calling. Whether
Republican or Democrat, business man
or workingman, rich man or poor man,
the citizen will find the name Of Mr..
O'Brien good one to put his mark OPP
posite to when yoting.-Minnesota
Union Advocate.
With all fairness the Sentinel be-
lleves that the charges preferred by
the governor, public examiner and at
torney general have been unduly en-
phasized and possibly exaggerated by
the factional feeling that has entered
the Republican camp. On the other
hand, in all fairness to the public,
which has greater interests at stake
than any personal or partisan faction,
how can the unbiased voter cast a
ballot for an official who is charged
unfit for public trust by the governor,
public examiner and attorney general
of his, own party. The only safe road
for the voters of all parties in the
campaign is to cast a unanimous ballot
for John A. Johnson for governor
Fairmont Sentinel.
Why should all Republican speakers
sent into Minnesota by the national
committee spend almost all their time
in advocating the doctrine of protec-
ton, without revision? 1t would seem
as though McCleary's victory in th-
Second district on that same issue had
demonstrated that the people of the
state will swallow everything in the
line of arguments for revision upward,
rather than ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Trib-
une.
The board of pardons had fifty-one
applications for consideration at its
meeting this week. The legislature,
the coming winter, should make pro-
vision for a retrial of all cases, in the
regular courts, and not leave them to
the sympathy of the pardon board.
There is much that is ridiculous to the
present system. = Taylors Falls jour

Hellish work in the Republican state
central committee. Putty Verify fired.
Jim Martin forced. Joel P. Heatwole
slapped. Kay TODD kicked. Tells the
story. Desperate circumstances re-
quire desperate measures. The head
of the Republican state ticket is
doomed and everybody knows it
Anoka Union.
According to Mr.. R. c. Dunn, the
chief glory of Minnesota consists in
having had him to watch over her in
terests. His speech here the other
night was filled with 81" me-" what
I did," etc.-Morris Times.
Eustis said he'd rather vote straight
and know he did wrong, than vote for
the right, if he couldn't find right with
in his party. Well, now, wasn't it a
blessing that Eustis was defeated for
governor Jordan Independent.
