The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1905-11-09
BY THE EDITOR
AND OTHERS.
THE PROPER NAME FOR IT.

HE IhOI EN- HNhNAD Wv
At the time of the street fair at
Little Falls the Herald held what Is
called bargain day and those who
wanted the paper were invited to come
in and subscribe at reduced price.
It worked we'll and the Herald secured
many new names. Taking its cue
from the Herald the Transcript is now
advertising two bargain days and the
public is invited to come and subscribe
or pay up back subscriptions at the
rate of SO cents a year. Not to be
outdone the Herald has again an
nounced a bargain day on which the
paper can be had for % cents. Now
it is up to the Transcript publishers
to give their paper away. This might
be properly called frenzied circula-
ton fght.-Royalton Banner.
We would not call it "frenzied
circulation fight" but fool circula-
ton fight. The trouble is some
country newspapers are always getting
into some kind of a fight and giving
away their paper and their advertising
space to spite or get the advantage OF
some one else. The white paper, ink
and postage for So issues of a paper
the size of the Little Falls Herald
costs over 60 cents and whenever they
are sold for Is cents the publisher
loses the difference. The same is true
of the Transcript. We doubt if either
one of those publishers make q cent
on their publications as far as SUBJ
scriptions are concerned at the regular
price and whenever they radically
reduce the price they not only lose
money on every subscriber taken but
they lower the standard of newspapers
all over the state.
SUITS US.
In the interest of harmony and
republican good fellowship we submit
the following for state ticket: Gov.
ernor, l.. w. Collins; Lieutenant
Governor, Robert G. Dunn; Treasurer,
Frank Eddy; Secretary of State, J. F.
Jacobson; Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioner, Joel P. HeBtwole.
With James A. Martin to keep them
in the traces that would be team that
would throw dust in the eyes of Dan
Patch.-St. Cloud Journal-Press.
The above ticket suits US and it
seems as though it ought to satisfy
everybody. Judge Collins has been a
candidate for governor ever since we
can remember and we are chasing the
half century mark with seven leagued
boots. Robert wants the handle gov
ernor attached to his name so badly
that we believe he would accept OF it
even with the handicap of "Lieuten-
ant" prefxed thereto. We are some
thing of an Office seeker ourselves but
this is the first time that we were ever
proposed for an Office that had
anything to do with the handling of
money and after being in the news
paper business for two years we would
like position where we could see
money once in awhile even if it
belonged to someone else. Jacobson
would make an ideal Secretary of
State; all that official has to do anyway
is to look pretty and draw his salary.
Joel as railroad commissioner would
satisfy everybody but the railroads
and that would be better than satisfy
ing the railroads and nobody else.
1t is true that James A. Martin has
lost every fight he ever led but the
above bunch would be just as
harmonious with him for manager as
they would without him, but to cinch
universal goodfellowship we recon-
mend that the editor of the st. Cloud
Journal be given an Office with large
salary attached outside the state. We
suggest that he be made President of
the Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York.
WE CAN NAME THE MAN.
