What the Editors Say

There is hint from some source
that Italy will give the United States
large statue of Caesar, to be placed
in the grounds of the war college,
where the heroic figure of Frederick
the Great was unveiled the other day
as a gift Of the German emperor. The
gift from Italy will be, it is said, an
expression of good will from the land
where Caesar had his birth, wrought
out his great career and made his
name known for all time as a military
genius. 1t will be next in order for
England to send us a statue of George
HI.-St. Cloud Times.
Senator Clapp should not hesitate to
define his position on the Cooper bill,
now pending in congress, extending
greater power to the Interstate COM

mand fairness between the various
communities as well as individuals.
Large shippers should have no advan-
tage over small ones-this country

Pease thinks the Republican party
and, profting by the experience of this
year, elect good clean men to office
This is the way he looks at it, but
there are those who thought the same
way prior to election and could not
understand why a man should be turn
ed down for personal reasons, even
though such reasons were not myth
cal. 1t will take a mighty strong mag
net to get the factions united so soon.
The lesson taught was too strenuous
Granite Falls Tribune.
Mrs. Chadwick should have studied
the Standard OIL system more closely.
Instead of borrowing money from the
banks on worthless securities, she
should have sold them to the dear peo-
pie. Then when the bottom had drop
ped out she could have gathered them
in again, restored the old price and
then seld them once more to the easi-
ly fooled public. Then, instead of be-
Ing in Jail, she would have been the
star attraction In Sunday schools and
religious gatherings.-Journal Press.
Gevernor-e johnson is certainly
making an innovation in the matter of
selecting his appointees for positions
under his administration, and 1t is as
surprising to those not acquainted with
the high ideals of Gov. Johnson and
his sterling character, as his course is
admirable and entitled to the hearty
Endorsement and praise of the people
whom he will serve.-Freeborn County
Standard.

A wicked exchange suggests that the
Chicago university does not intend to
discard the doxology. The purpose is
only to change the first line and make
it praise John from whom oil blessings

1t would be hard to imagine more
corrupt electorate than that of the
state of Colorado. And yet out there

and privileges of the ballot.-Red Lake
