What the Editors Say


The letter of acceptance of Judge
Parker, Democratic nominee for presi-
dent, is one of the best and most COM
prehensive state papers we have been
permitted to read since the days of the
great Lincoln. Lucid, terSe and show
ing decided interest lin the questions
discussed, the letter is worthy of the
careful perusal and the candid exam
ination of every citizen of the great re-
public. If elected and proves himself
as sincere for the country's vital in
terests as his letter seems to indicate,
he will be hailed as a savior and will
earn niche in the temple of fame be-
side the father of his country and the
adored Lincoln.-Cass Lake Times.
Senator Nelson, unlike Senator Conk-
ling, is, apparently not out of criminal
practice. In his brief, defending tres
pass, profanity and other political vir-
tues peculiar to the Dave Clough re-
gime under which he himself was ele-
waited to the United States senate, it is
but natural that his mind should dwell
with particular stress upon the inf1u-
ence of the chief executive, that is, his
pull in his relations to and connec-
tions with the legislature. The defense
could not nave been intrusted to a
lawyer better qualified by birth and ex-

!, Mr.. Heatwole is in favor of tariff re-
form and is opposed to trust and cor
poration rule in nation and state. That
is the reason the party bosses want
none of him. If the Republican voters
of Minnesota had it to do over again
would they nominate r. C. Dunn for
governor, after knowing what they do

Thousands of them will seek to rectify
that error by voting for his opponent
at the election.-Duluth Herald.
Mr.. Davis cannot help being eighty
years of age, nor should the mere fact
that he has accumulated $40,000,000
for rainy day be held against him as
a candidate. Opportunity simply came
late. Had fate arranged that the vice
presidential offer had come to him
when only seventy-nine years old or
When his bank savings amounted to
but $39,000,000, it is probable that he
would have, in the same spirit, con-
cluded to accept, for the good of the
country.-F'aribaul Journal
One thing is certain and that is, the
Democratic candidate for governor of
Minnesota doesn't have to waste a mo-
ment in explaining anything. He is
clean man and challenges your admira-
ton. Any man may cast his vote for
him regardless of politics and feel that
he has done himself or his state no in
justice. That is why so many Repub-
licans are going to vote for John A.
Johnson for governor.-Le Sueur Sen
tinel.
We notice a good many Republican
papers are publishing voluminouS
reply" by Bob Dunn to the charges
made by Public Examiner Sam I.
Johnson as to Dunn's administration of
the state auditors Office during the
eight years that he was auditor. In
fairness these papers should first have
published the charges themselves

An exchange warns people not to eat
prairie chickens that have fed on rust
ed wheat fields. This paper desires to
repeat this warning, and if any one
has killed chickens fed on such wheat
will bring them to this office they will
be disposed of in such a manner that
public health will not be endangered

Now that the meat strike has been
declared off we have not heard any
thing about the governments investi-
cation of the beef trust. Perhaps the
| liberal donation of the trust to the Re-
publican campaign fund has something
to do with the sudden change in plans.
