What fhe Editors Say

Applying Lincoln barn frame argu-
nent to the situation In Minnesota one
Is forced to the conclusion that there
is a political frame work, well fitted
and complete In all It's parts, now in
use in this state and that it has been
built up by a master mechanic for a
purpose. The present administration
will represent the stills; the university
and the normal schools the corner
posts; the fish and game department,
the plates and collar beams; the su
preme court, the rafters and ridge
pole; Doc Ames, the cupola: Miller, of
Rock, the weather vane; the Lowry
railroad interests, the well filled NOW;
Eastman and Eastman, the swipes;
rowing in the by-product and Jamison
and Martin the architeets.-Long
Prairie Leader.

from all countries finding a market in
Europe being fixed In Liverpool, is it
not wise to admit Gambia wheat,

into flour in Minnesota at a profit and
shipped out rather than to have it
shipped direct to Europe and it's flour
profits made there New Ulm News.
The Democratic newspapers in this
state that have been smiling at Bob
Dunn ought to look in another direc-
iS p1yx

ranks of the enemy, but it is not good
policy to cheer on the strongest COM
blatant. Collins needs encourag cement
and Eddy, too. Let us turn and say
good things about these other two lest
they get discouraged and throw up the
sponge. No danger that Bob, who is
so much in the lead, is going to fuke.

McCardy? He has been auditor of the

The fact that Collins is supported
by the crowd Of professional politi-
clans that are back Of his campaign is
amply sufficient to drive many Of his
otherwise friends from him. Their OBJ
ject in supporting Collins Is altogether
too apparent.-Gleneoe Register.
His majesty the king Of Siam de-
sires to present to President Roosevelt
a white elephant. In addition to the
constitutional inhibition against re-

that he has a sufficient number on
hand as it is.-Crookston Times.
