What the Editors Say

While it is yet early indications
seem to point to Judge Parker, of
New York, as the probable Demo-
cratic candidate for president. New
York has always been deemed the piv-
otai state and it is always an argu-
ment FOR strong candidate to hail
from that state. Those people who
fondly dream that Roosevelt is going
10 nave a quiet walk over for the pres
ldential chair, are reckoning without
their host. There is going to be q
presidential campaign and hard fight
ing and If no man arises to command
the unlimited cash that Mark Hanna
was able to gather the issue cannot be
certainly fOretOld until the ballots are
counted.-Le Sueur Sentinel.
The Bible tells of a gentleman who
went off and hanged himself after he
was caught in a lie. Prof. McVey, of
the state university, is not built on
such conscientious lines. He not only
lied about st. Paul, but persists in
holding a job for which st. Paul helps
to pay him. A man who exhibits the
narrowness that he has is not fit to
teach, and the regents of the state uni
Versity should have the common de-
cency or sense of honesty to either re-
Duke him or dismiss him from his po-
sition.-Midway News.
1t is a safe bet that if Mike Bowling
had been elected to congress instead of
Volstead, and even though he favored
reciprocity as strongly as VOlStead OPP
posed 1T, he would have been Endorsed
at the Seventh district convention as
heartily as VOlstead was. The fellow
that happens to be in gets the indorse-
ment. That is the disgusting thing
about party politics.-Buffalo Lake
News.
Some of the smaII-bore Democratic
politicians will put up a fight to carry
the state for Money Bags Hearst. How
ever, John Lind, l.. A Rosing and
other strong leaders Of the party,
backed up by the st. Paul G o b e, are
stanch supporters of Judge Parker,
who will doubtless have the solid dele
cation to the national convention at
St. Louis from this state.-Lamberton
Star.
Now this is really unkind of the in

THE reason it is called leap year

In the contest between Hill and the
Rockefeller interests public sentiment
will naturally favor Mr.. Hill. Until
he sprung his merger scheme he was
not only personally popular, but his
work for the whole Northwest was
recognized and appreciated. 1t is not
the less appreciated now, even when
his pet idea meets universal condemna-
tiOn.-St. Cloud Journal Press.
The active candidacy Of William R.
Hearst has had at least one good eff
feet. It has shown how much stronger
fear is than hope. 1t has aroused the
Democratic party from hopeless Ieth-
argy, and has sent its sane and re-
sponsible members out cunning for
delegates and SATISFIED Wing Re-
publican.
1t is said that the Japs do not know
anything about swearing. IF they ever
commence to learn and make the mar
Vicious progress they have made in
fighting, We may look out for some
lurid things in the swearing vocabu-
lary.-Sauk Center Avalanche.
We haven't heard anything of Sam
Johnson, the expert GU examiner, of

Duluth should put that police ex-
