Herald Review, has just returned
from years visit in Europe and
''is back in the harness." according
the Duluth Evening Herald. Didn't
know Bro. kiley had. been to
Europe, but had considered the evil
dent falling down in the columns
of the Herald-Review to be the
| natural result of trip to Germany.
EDITOR ATKINSON continues to
make of the Mesaba Ore an adver-
Using medium for one p. Ellerd
Bowling, gentleman whom !.
Adam Bede first knew at Tower. At
least Mr.. Bede intimated very
strongly in certain campaign
some years ago that he enjoyed an
acquaintance with the gentleman.
But an acquaintance with some
people is worth a printing outfit
especially when it is Small one.
THE ROYALTON BANNER says
that "tfose who proved traitors to
the Republican party last fall are
now clamoring loudly for recogni-
ton. They want the representa-.
ton in the next. state campaign
based on the vote for Roosevelt
Representation should be based on
the vote for governor" Should
such sentiment prevail it will be
easily noticea BILE by referring to the
figures that the representation at
the next Republican state conven-
ton will be mighty small.
THE MILACA TINES is authority
for the: statement that cas- long as
the minority of the Republican
party in the state refuses to abide
by the decision of the majority
there's small prospect of harmony'
1t. might be interesting to learn
which the editor of the Times con.
siders the majority-the majority
which controlled the last Republic
can state convention, or the major
ity which controlled the last state
election: An infinitesinal differ
ence, to be sure, but difference.
THE vim with which the former
Collins-Dunn press of the state are
fighting the campaign of 1906 along
Collins-Dunn lines might lead some
people to think that either one or
the other of the men who: aspired to
the last Republican gubernatorial
nomination was not politically
dead. But if either of them still
has left spark of political ambi
ton it must be the former state
auditor-and it would seem the
lesson of the last campaign would
show him where he got off in Min.
! nesota. 1t is not many men who
| would dare tempt fate twice at the
same spot in the road.
"1T is. not state drainage which
| is wanted in this section, but state
aid for roads," said an interested
homesteader to the Enterprise
scribe recently" 1--WE have thou
sands of acres of rich agricultural
lands to the north and west of this
city which. only await roads for
development. What istrue of this
immediate vicinity is also true of
many other new sections through
| out the northern portion of the
state, and the state would accom-
plish a great good for an ipnumer-
able army of settlers and add to the
value of the state holdings much
more by the building of roads than
by the expenditure of state money
for drainage commission salaries
THE sight of numerous hunters
looming in with partridge several
days ahead of season is not tended
to make the true sportsman view
with delight the effective service
rendered by the state fish and game
commission or by its local repre-
! sentatives. IF the commission
would make it practice to appoint
men as deputies who know the diff
ference between a gopher hole and
a sea gull a decided change in the
service might be noted. But so
long as deputy game warden APP
pointments go, to travelling sales
men who desire the. position purely
because of the tact that it gives
them free mileage which can be
charged to their employers at SO
much per mile the true sportsman q
need look for no change in the .sys-
tenn of "protection" given ourvgame
