Pleases 'tGrowler' Allen.
Ihere is one thing that pleases the.
GROWER, and that is the intense
loyalty of the editorial writer's in this
part OF the state to the northwest.
| There is not a knocker in the bunch,
and do you know they are doing work
for the northwest that never will be
appreciated. If every reader of their.
paper would do the same amount of
work according to their opportunity
the country would soon be we'll settled
and bloom like a rose All honor to
the boys, and let every community
help hold up their hands.-Bemidji

Would Increase States Prosperity.
If some of the influential people in
Minnesota were half as much inter-
ested in drainage as they are in the
irrigation of the arid lands of the west
and southwest the prosperity of this
state would double and triple in
very short time. -Crookston Times.

Injurious Inconsistency.
If the church needs financial assist
ance it applies to the local business
men, not the mail order houses. Yet
many church members buy from the
foreign corporations.-Eve Star.

T. A Democratic Scheme.
What we cannot get through our
"cocoanut" is this: Why should in
dependent voting truly independent,
mind you-why should that hurt the
Republicans more than the demo-
Gratis? Do democrats never vote Gin
dependently?'' Or is the "independ-
ent-voting" talk a mere democratic
| scheme to get votes for themselves
and their candidates. Minneapolis

Convened for Political Purposes.
The meeting of Gov. Johnson's
board of equalization is now but
memory, but it's recent inglorious fin
| ish in a refusal to 60 on record as to
| the need OF enforcing the tax laws has
not been forgotten. In fact it has
given rise to talk that is not at all
complimentary, and I am afraid does
an injustice to some of the we'll mean
ing members undoubtedly not on the
inside. It is of note that the only real
business done was the naming of COM
mittees, those who will pass on the
several classes of property to be
taxed. Now the real motive for the
naming of these committees at this
early date, SO the story current has it,
was not for the purpose of making
progress and making the members &C
| quainted with their duties, but simply
to let the interests involved know that
there was such a body as the demo-
cratic board of equalization in exist
| ence and it behooved them to be de-
cent. How the equalization deal is
worked in Ramsey county and how
| advantageously it works for those in
power is we'll known, but the state at
large is a big field and the O'Connor
idea may not work so nicely. Again
the board of equalization meets be-
! fore the state election, and if there is
any II tickle you, you tickle. me
business,'' it will not be long before
| the voters know it. The best laid
plans sometimes go wrong.-St. Paul

'sGOOse is Cooked
Gov. johnson loses no opportunity
to praise Roosevelt. It looks to the
man up tree that the governor is
again fishing for republican votes,
for these he must have or his goose
is cooked.-Houston Signal.
