What the Editors Say

Why cuSS DOnahOWer for appointing
Paul Ewert at the small end of the at
torney generals office? Get up closer
to the throne-closer to that little room
where Dave Clough used to do business

chargeable with the appointment Van
made Douglas Judge; Van made Dona-
hover attorney general, and who is
simple enough to think Donahower
would have appointed Ewert unless the
bosses had directed it? Don't blame
Donahower; don't blame Ewert for
getting the job, but get up close to the
late Judge Collins and peep into that
little back room so dear to Dave
Clough.-Windom Reporter.

tions, and continue to adopt resolutions
that they do not half believe.-Morris

tents.-Winona Morning Independent.
