Morris Tribune: The reason why
Roosevelt is su popular is because he
would rather be right than be president.
Minneapolis Times: Anoka has
finished her public bath houses. If you
see a bald head bobbing around in the
water, yell "Copy" and see what hap
pens.
Breckenridge Gazette: Why is it
that many men. who are models of
honesty and probity in business are al
50 models OF crOOkedneSs and dis
honesty in politics?
Wykoff Messenger: Heatwole is
smoother than silk himself but it is
extremely doubtful it he could have
handled the recent convention as skill
fully, as automatically and with as
much credit to himself as did Senator
Clapp.
Owatonna Chronicle: W. j. Case
has secured the contract to erect a
handsome new residence for Conductor
Tubular at Austin, and went to that
city Wednesday, accompanied by
crew of carpenters. The building of
the new structure will probably take
two months.
Jauesvllle Argus: It makes fellows
feet ache to hear men estimate the
yield per acre of the incoming wheat
crop. men who know absolutely nothing
about growing wheat and the only
means they have of knowing anything
about it is while flying through the
country in a palace car or looking out
of the seventh story window of some
St. Paul Bucket shop.
Window Citizen: The office of COM
missioner is really the most important
in the county. The commissioners con
troll it's business and their action is
directly felt by the people through the
workings of taxes. SO if you are bound
to give the ''good fellow" a job. just
because he is "good fellow" don't
make him commissioner. The office of
commissioner is not a place for a
nincompoop.
Mankato Free Press: The state press
is busy roasting Gov. Van SAINTS EN-,
ployes for the Indifferent manner in
which they are looking after the in
terests of Minnesota at the st. Louis
fair. Too much should not be expect.
ed Of these gentlemen. They have been
so busy managing Dunn's campaign
that they had little time to attend to
the duties for which they are paid by
the state "The Van SAINT machine
must go' on working for Dunn.
Chatheld News Democrat: The
system of pardoning in..Minnesota has
grown to be gross scandal and a dis
grace. If it is not Immediately taken
in hand it will practically wipe out the
rule OF law in the commonwealth. Que
of the first duties of the legislature
lould be to place the pardoning power
Oh the only correct and proper basis,
and put an end to the progressive
deterioration of moral sentiment that
is exhibited in the mobbing of the
board of pardons by a crowd of
criminals and their representatives at
it's every session..
Minneapolis Tribune: Archbishop
Alexander Christie of the diocese of
Oregon, who a short time ago was made
the butt of a slanderous attack in an
anonymous circular, entitled, "Crimes
and Acts Of Cruelty of the Most
Reverend Archbishop Christie of Port
land, Ore" has been vindicated by his
own people. Members of the clergy
under him, sisters of the Holy Names
of Jesus and Mary, sisters of St. Mary's
Home Benedictine sisters have joined
hands in the defense. of their superior.
In signed statements they have all
denied that thev sanctioned the publica-
tion of statements attributed to them
and in addition swore allegiance to the
Archbishop.
St. Paul Dispatch. The Dunn leaders
will knife Clapp whenever they have
the opportunity. They admit as much.
The Mortified News, Mr.. Heatwole's
paper, has given Clapp back-handed
slap since the convention, and Heat
Wole is known to be plotting daily
against the senator. While Senator
Clapp is the almost unanimous choice
OF the people for reelection, and while
it is not at all likely that fight on him
could possibly be successful, neverthe-
less the fact that there is widespread,
systematic movement among political
managers to defeat him, warrants an
especlaieff0rt on the part of the senate r s
friends to insure legislature that will
carry out the wishes of the people in
this respect.
DEBORAH Republican: If the Re-
publican party had searched the coun-
try over to find a running mate for
Roosevelt, and had picked man 81
years old, worth from ten to twenty
millions of dollars, and possessed of no
other known qualifications for such a
\ nigh Office as vice president, what a
simultaneous ~ and prolonged howl
would have gone up from the entire
! Democratic press of the country.
i Pluttocracy would have been at once
made the paramount issue Of the cam
