What the Editors Say

1t wouldn't be so bad, after all, if the
Dunn Collins Eddy fight would become
so disagreeably hot and bowling that
the convention would stampede to SEN
ator H. J. Miller, of Luverne, and make
him the Republican nominee for gov
ernor. Senator Miller is an able, hon
est man-one of the cleanest that ever
held public office in Minnesota. He
would make an ideal executive-bar-
ring his politics-and his nomination
would be a raising Of the political stand
ard that has long dominated the G. O..
p. of the state.-Grand Rapids Herald
Review.
No one has yet asked that Sunny
Jim" Martin resign from the state CEN
trail committee. All that his critics ac-
cuse him of is his bad taste, as chair
man of the state committee, managing
the campaign of an Individual AS
Chairman Martin has access to the
records which cost the Republicans of
the state-not the Collins men, mind
you-several thousand dollars. These
records are for the use of the party,
not for faction.-Wadena Tribune.
DR.. M. B. Cullum, a Democrat, was
elected mayor Tuesday of the Repub-
1can city of Duluth. He is said to be
man of sterling character and of eX-
cellent ability His election as mayor
of strongly Republican city proves
his popularity. We invite the Demo-
Gratis of this state to inspect the new
executive Of the Queen City of the
Unsalted Seas" He may be the kind of
timber Democratic governors are made
of.-Faribault Pilot
Now the railroad managers COM
plain that the ministers have been
m1susing their passes and half-fare
permits by permitting others to use
them, and in future the granting of
these special privileges will be sur
rounded by much red tape. It does
not startle the general run of folks SO
much as it used to, when they learn by
accident that ministers are human
Duluth Evening Herald.
1T is evident that the present adj
ministration does not intend to loose it's
grip on Minnesota if by any means it
can avoid it. Hence the racing and
chasing among state officials who did
they but serve the state with half the
zeal they are expanding in Judge Col
Inns behalf would do the business of
the state with an efficiency not parallel
ed in history Bemidji Pioneer.
Republican gubernatorial candidates
are searching the state records from
"A to lizard to find something good
they have done upon which to base
their worthy claims. A fruitless search
gentlemen, unless Bob could somehow
ring in a swamp land sale, or Eustis
tell how he slew the pigs" in Mime
apolis.-Le Sueur County Democrat
Why it is that all the good, lively,
progressive cities in the state have
Democratic mayors? Look at Waba-
sha, Minneapolis, Lake City, st. Paul
Winona, Duluth-in fact, all but the
dead ones put Jacksonian in the may
or's chair.-Wabasha Herald.
The normal schools of Minnesota are
passing into innocuous desuetude. At
tendance is rapidly falling off and
there is little excuse for their exist
ence. The next legislature should
bunch the five schools into one and do
nate those deserted to some charitable
object.-Martin County Sentinel.
The wise guys who go down to Wash
1ngton and give it out as their own
discovery that Minnesota is for Roose-
welt, couldn't change a vote one way or
the other if their lives depended upon
it.-Ortonville Herald-S Star.
We are told that Aguinaldo will be
in charge of the Philippine exhibit at
the st. Louis fair this summer Won
der if the water cure will be one Of the
exhibits ?-Wabasha Herald.
President Hadleys insistence that no
man should enter politics unless he is
rich is coppered by the large number
who never leave politics until they are
poor.-Crookston Times.
