There would be less dyspepsia in
this world if as much attention were
paid to cooking lessons as to music
lessons.-Anoka Herald.
| Rubbing It Into Governor John.
1t is the men who do things, rather
than those who continually harp on
what ought to be done. who accom-
plish the great things in this world.

Jumped on Cripple at That.
In republican state politics the new
big -Four" consists of Jim Martin,
Jake Jacobson, Frank Eddy and
Alvah Eastman. They all jumped on
poor Buck at once, hence their great
ness.-Ortoville Herald-Star.
Has Done Nothing, Claims Nothing.
GOV. Johnson's keynote campaign
speech is at hand. It contains no
surprises. The governor claims little
| because he performed little. He has
little chance of success at the polls, it
seems, IT sentiment stands for existing
conditions.-Le Sueur News.
Gov. Johns Braggadocio.
Governor johnson, in his Red Wing
speech, used the personal pronoun
II" 100 times, "my" 43 times, "me''
and ''myself'' 25 times and ';we'' and
"our" 80 times. And nearly every
time he used it was to brag that he
should have credit for something
somebody else did.-Preston Re-
publican. go :
The Best Evidence.
We see a great deal in the news
papers about Roaring Jake" taking
such an active interest in politics and
doing so much for Cole. It would be
still more interesting sight to see
him get to work on his devoted
followers in his home town and else
where about the state and line them
up for the head of the ticket. That
would be the best evidence of his sin
cerity.-Breckenridge Telegram.

| Sane Advice.
If the republicans want to elect
Cole for governor they will have to
get together and quit fighting among
themselves. The democrats are doing
all they can to kindle and keep burn
| ing the. fires Of discomfort within the
republican ranks and it appears that
there are lot of dough-head republi-
cans who are permitting themselves to
be hoodwinked in this manner. Some
people don't know when they are be-
ing made laughing stock of. Mime

| Federal Papsuckers Responsible.
What's the use of making a sense
less and fruitless fight on Senator
Knute Nelson? He will be elected as
sure as the legislature meets in Jan
uary, in fact enough are already
pledged to him to make this outcome
inevitable, and we imagine that if the
federal office holders union would 90
quietly about it's business and leave
Nelson alone that Grimshaw's spin
head" editors would forget their
grievances. It is the ohiciousness of
the men with a federal job who are
making most of this trouble for Mel
son.-Preston Times. -.
New Yorlxs Compliments TO Mr.. Bryan.
1t was an unkind bump the demo-
cratic state convention handed to Mr..
! Bryan. 1t not only nominated Mr..
Hearst, his most dangerous rival, but
it declared most alphabetically against
'every socialistic proposal, however
disguised under sonorous and mis-
leading terms.'' It then proceeded to
specify it's antagonism to the opera
ton of public utilities by municipal
tiles and to declare for the republican
principle of the government control
of public service corporations and
the fixing of reasonable rates from
time to time under private ownership
and operation. This is a rather
blunt reminder to Mr.. Bryan that,
while it may be all right for him to
continue endorsing the administration
of President Roosevelt, that when he
seeks to go farther and to try to .foist
on the country government ownership
he must go without New York. In the
meanwhile the republican party will
continue perfecting the policy of con.
troll, the only sane and practical
policy under a republican form of gov.
