What the Editors Say

Fhe people are waking UP to the
necessity. All over the West, the Re-
publfcaDs are demanding revision of
the tariff, not upward as our Congress-
man McCleary says, but downward;
and not to injure the working people
and manufacturing industries of the
country, nor the consumer but to pro-
fect them. The carload or more OF
pamphlets, part of the one minute
speech on the high tariff issue gotten
out by Mac, which is slowed away in
the basement of the Mankato govern
ment building and other. places, is all
Tor naught. but is considered danger
Gus document to place in the hands OF
people who are paying 50 duty on lu1n-
Der, $3.50 on steel rails, when neither Of
the articles is shipped in, and no one
is benefited but the lumber barons and
the steel trust. The peopIe are tired
of this kind of fattening process

heyes that If. change in the tariff
ScneduieS is wanted, the change should
De up, not down. Yes, Of course, it
ought to go UP. So long as there is
danger of reduction in the tariff the
poor little trusts cannot feel secure
By all means protect the trusts or the
country lie done for! Give the trusts
all the chance they want to grasp, to
squeeze, to grind, to freeze out-or the
country will go to the dogsi Send
men of the McCleary type to congress
to perpetuate the present system Of
enrlchlng the few at the expense of
the many-or our liberties are soon a
dream Of the past!-Madison Guard
Yon Yonson will be the next gov

diction which is told by the stars as
they shine brilliantly in the sky over

they are read by the great Swedish

be repeated IN the story told by the

governor Of ADMINISTRATION Minnesota
Will never nave cause to be ashamed
of John A. Johnson!-St. Cloud Times
And then came the statement that
McCleary's celebrated mile-a minute
speech is not acceptable to the national
committee or national administration.

The nomination for governor is espe-
cially happy one. John Johnson, the
editor Of ST. Peter, is a man of the
highest type, and the demand came
from every part Of Minnesota that he
should be named. A wave of enthu-
slasm has gone over the state and such
expressions have already, been made as
indicate a strong probability Of his
election.-Merris Times.
Judge Lovely, who was nominated
by the Democrats for the supreme
court should receive the votes of all
Republicans who desire to rebuke un-
holy political methods. Judge Elliott
was nominated by Observation-Disclosures
Journal.
