What the Editors Say

Parker Constitution clubs are being
formed all over the country, why not
one in Grand Forks? Why not form
one In every city, town and village
throughout North Dakota?
There are dangers that menace the
rights and liberties of our people by
executive authority. There has been
for years under Republican rule
steady tendency to override and dis
regard the constitution of the United
States. The nation is drifting away
from its constitutional anchorage.
thoughtful men see it and are alarmed.
Those who deprecate and will help to
stem the evil should rally to the sup
port of Judge Parker and the consti-
tuition. Many young men will cast
their first ballot this election. They
should study the political situation be-
fore election time. A Parker club
should be formed at once in Grand
Forks. Clubs should be formed
throughout the state.-Grand Forks
Evening Press.
The Wabasha Herald insists that
Public Examiner Johnson's report be-
longs to the public and is due to be
given to the public. The only trouble
is that the public has no means of get
ting at it. The proposition is too
yoluminous for the weekly newspaper
and the dailies are only playing with
the bait. The press is not dependent
upon the public examiner. The Mid
way News has already published
enough to show that lumber thieving
has been recognized as an established
system in this state. What more do
you want Midway News.
What is needed in this state is an
organization that will see to it that
the proper men are elected to the legiS-
lature who viii pledge themselves to
bring about equalization of freight
rates and equitable taxation. Incl
dentally we might mention that law
should be passed which would close up
the bucket shops that are daily drain
ing the country districts of many
thousands of dollars. The real issues
should not be allowed to become OBJ
scured by selfish interests.-Northfield
News.
Here is another beauty of the pri-
mary election law. A man who voted
for any party ticket at the last cleo
ton and who changes to another party
cannot vote at the coming primary
election. He is disfranchised. SO far
as having a right to help nominate Of
ficers. That is the ruling of the as
sistant attorney general. This is
magnificent tatute.-Rocheste Poet
and Record.
The Mankato Free Press wants to
know If We favor an increase of the
present tariff Of 50 per thousand on
lumber? We do not. We believe that
lumber should come in free with iron,
steel, glass and other necessities that
are controlled by the trusts. When an
industry gets big enough to walk alone
and wear long trousers it ought to be

Joel P. Heatwole has again said he
IS out of politics. He has Just said"
this, mind you. The real and true an
nouneement of his retirement from the
game will appear under turned rule,
next to or first following his obituary.
But there are a whole lot of politicians
in Minnesota who would be glad TO
take him at his word.-Wilkin County
Gazette.
just like an organ, the Pioneer Press
has commenced to throw mud at Judge
Parker, one of the cleanest and most
upright men ever nominated for Of
flee 1t seems to us as if there was
issue enough to discuss without lying
about the candidate.-Wright County
Times.
Politics is all right and wholesome
legislation is good thing, but neither
will ever make farming a success. But
this fact should not debar farmers
from giving some attention to politics
and egislation.-Brown's Valley Trib-
une.
1t is a bad condition of affairs when
voter must choose between the les
ser of two evils in registering his
choice for man for an important Of
ice, party politics combining him to
one or the other-Buffalo Journal.
Minnesota is a tariff revision state:
the people have submitted patiently
to the policy which has taken all and
given nothing.-St. Peter Herald.
