Window Reporter: While the re-
publican state central committee has
been having "good time'' among
themselves the democrats have been
saving wood. We hope that the re-
publican committee has got organized
by this time and will get busy down in
this corner of the state. 1t is only
month now until election and "there is
work to do"
Spring Valley Mercury: Miss
Minnie Durham, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. B. Durham of this city, was
nominated on the Republican ticket
for county superintendent of schools
in Wilkins county, Minn., by 72 major
ity over her competitor, the old super
intendent. She has taught school in
Campbell for long time. AS there is
only one ticket in the field her election
was assured by the nomination.
Rochester Democrat: The throw
ing of confetti, flour, rice, ANYTHING
and everything that was handy last
evening, soon became an abominable
nuisance. The youngsters gathered
about the street seemed to think it
carnival night and made hoodlums of
themselves. The rowdyism was wholly
unexpected and caused much ANNOYANCE
to officers and we'll behaved citizens.
The children should have been spanked
and sent to bed.
Red Wing Republican: Let us agree
to leave the state university on it's own
foundation, where every truly great
university is and ought to be, and settle
other matters later. The government
of university is enough to tax the
time and powers of the ablest citizens
who can be got to serve on it's board
The range of its affairs is almost inf
mite. It is little world, whose busi-
ness is far removed from the ordinary
affairs of political or commercial life.
Respect it's independence and except
it from the control of any politically
constituted authority.
Chaska Herald: There is no gain
saying the fact that the primary elec-
tlon law, so far as this county is con-
cernea, is a nuisance, and a very ex-
cities practically dictate the nemina-
tlons as the farmers do not and will
not turn out to the primaries. 1t is all
right for the large cities and should be
amended or repealed in so far as it ap-
plies to the country districts. Another
very Important amendment that should
pe maze, is one divorcing the judiciary
nominations from the operation of the
law.
Elysian Enterprise: The farmers
have come to realize that the travelling
solicitor wants an order only upon con-
dltlon that the money is Forthcoming.
and consequently they are becoming
slow to give orders to the peddlers and
| now refuse to accept every proposition
that is advanced by this class of sales
men. The short crops of two wears
have brought to the minds of MANY
farmers that it is to their ADVANTAGE to
| deal with the local merchant and thew
are not going to patronize peddlers
| while they remember the merchants
who have accommodated them in the
past.

designs OF the European powers through
the firm and unyielding attitude of our

| Albert Lea Tribune: When new
main building for the state university
comes to be constructed great care
must be exercised to prevent if possible
another state capitol job, as there will
be those who will desire to 1feathar
their nests" if possible. A more modern
and complete building than the Old one
should be provided but when peonle
talk about investing third of. a mil
hon IN the structure it sounds like
rank extravaganza and it is hoped who
ever is governor he will have the back
bone TO pare down the items in the an
propriatiOn if the indications Of steal
are too rank. There should be liberalitys
practiced in dealing with the great
state university but there is no reason
nor should there be q demand that ti,a
public treasury be looted. ~
