What the Editors Say

III. j. Miller, editor of the Luverne
Herald, has announced that he will be
candidate for congress in this dis
trict against McCleary in the Repub-
hcan primaries. Miller Is for tariff re-
duction and reciprocity with Canada,
and McCleary is "standpatter' in ia
vor Of the present tariff, without
change. Miller has determined to make
q strong fight for the nomination, and
McCleary will have the fight of his life.
This (Second) district, like Minnesota
generally, in sentiment is with Miller,
but McCleary will convince the Re
publicans that the tariff 'hold UP and
deliver policy is blessing in disguise
that under Bible doctrine If the voter
mas one pocket emptied by the tariff
robbers he must empty the other
pocket, also.-New Ulm News.
The immigration convention which
will be held in ST. Paul on the 14th and
18th Of this month, should invite the
cooperation Of all who have in view
the building up of the state. BY prop
er organization and effort it will be
possible not only to induce people to
come to this state but also the kind of
people we want. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and other states are sending thousands
OF good citizens westward every year
1t would be to our advantage and to
be made to do so if we lay before them
the advantages which Minnesota offers.

Last week we received from the
postoffice card notifying us that there
was paper in the office on which was
due cents. We cheerfuliy paid the 2
cents postage due, and was handed a
copy of the Flicker we'll filed with the
Hearst literature, and some of the
patrons had to pay more than we did
on account of receiving a larger con-
slgnment. Hearst, at least, should be
willing to pay the postage on his liter
AZURE. -Washburn~ Leader.
In spite of the fact that much alarm
mas been expressed in certain quarters
lest the increasing Importance of sugar
from the island of Cuba may ruin the
nome industry in that line, the price or
sugar has been going up steadily. If
they want to discourage these Cuban
lmportations it would seem to be a.
better plan to reduce the prices in this
country and thereby take away the in
centive.-OShkosh Northwestern.
1t is announced that in consequence
OF the 500 line having purchased the
Washburn road, the joint freight and
passenger traffic has been with
drawn. What effect will this have on
the Ignite business in the eastern part
or the state? This has been built UP
to large proportions and is constantly
growing. This is a subject which
should be investigated before fall ar
rives.-F'argo Forum.
The political scramble for official
plums in the state campaign has de-
tracted materially from the interest
usually centered in county politics at
this time, but the indulgent reader will
probably know at an early date what
is doing at home.-Springfiel Ad-
vance.
Minneapolis is sadly in need of an
otner cleaning up. That town is over
run with a crowd of bad fellows who
should be given the severest dose of
Justice that can be meted out to the
depraved and vicious.-Mankato Free
Press.
In promiscuously planting floating
mines in the course of the Republican
craft, it is suspected that Gov. La Fol-
Iette will find it somewhat hazardous
navigating to political waters when he
sails out of port.-MiIwaukee News.
kuropatkin finds the fire in the rear
crowd at home almost as troublesome
as the Japs. An unsuccessful baseball
manager will be able to sympathize.-
