IN the right direction,
Lanesboro Leader: The Austin High
School debating team has consented to
debate the Lanesboro High School team
here on Friday evening, Feb. Goth. The
question is the same as for the Preston
debate the week following; the
municipal ownership of public utilities:
Lanesboro supports the affirmative OF
the question. The debate will be held
in Galligan's Hall, and will afford an
opportunity to hear our team before
they meet Preston.
Blue Earth Post: When VIM. Henry
Eustis returns next spring, to look up
his gubernatorial chances, he will find
hims elf in the sad predicament of tie
hungry school boy who asked for the
core of the apple his more fortunate
school-mate was eating. "There amt
goin' to be no core," was the reply.
After Dunn, Eddy and Collins have
munched upon the republican guber
material apple until next April, he will
find "there amt going to be no core"
left for Eustis or any other fellow.
Mankato Free Press: More than 400
conversions have resulted at Marshall
from the revival meetings held in the
auditorium of the high school building.
An audience of nearly 1900 people has
crowded the hall every night. The
converts inclGde prominent business
men, county official and lawyers, be-
sides men and women from all classes
and walks of life. The work has been
so effective that one saloon man re-
marked that one keg of beer would last
a week since Sunday came to town.
st. Paul Dispatch: The counsel for
the government in the Machen trial
showed that the defendant, on salary
of $500 a year, managed to lay by S2o,-
600 a wear. Did not Prof. Bryce set it
down in cold type that, writing OF our
senators. ''sOme are senators because
thew are rich and some are rich because
thev are senators?" AS Machen was
not superintendent of rural routes be-
cause he was rich, might he not have
thought himself warranted by senatorial
example in becoming rich because he
was superintend ent?
Minneapolis Times: Again there is
u cry for church consolidation, union,
the abandonment OF "isms" and a i
that sort of thing, but it does not come
from within the denominations. After
all, the cry it not entirely logical.
Apply it elsewhere. For example, we
are all patriots, but some of us are
democrats, some republicans, some
populists, socialists, single takers, tariff
reform republicans, protection demo-
Gratis and so on. Some OF us are fond
o1 cabbage and detest Goldfish and some
of us like Goldfish and can't bear cab
bage, but we can be friends and good
citizens for all that.
