What the Editors Say

Maj. Eastman, of the St Cloud Jour-
nal-Press comes to the defense Of the
normal schools and insists that they
have not outlived their usefulness.

the reply. After Dunn, Eddy and Col
Inns have munched upon the Repub-

1t is very unfortunate for the pres

That the United States will partici-
pate in the fighting before the Japa-
nese-Russian war is over is the predic-
ton of distinguished Japanese lee
turer occupying the platform at the

Those papers that are pledging GER
tain quarters of the state for any par
