Jake" FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

Hon. Frank M. Eddy, who by
the way is one of the most brilliant
and brainy quill drivers in the state
and a past master in the political
game, comes out with a strong
endorsement to send "Jake" Jacob
son to the legislature, where he
asserts the man from Lac qui Parle
would be a perpetual nightmare"
to those INSCRIPTIONS individuals
and "interests'' that thwarted his
nomination at Duluth. Jake is
certainly one of the most forceful
and aggressive figures that have
appeared in the limelight of our
state politics for many day, and
men of his calibre are at premium
in these days of trust trammeled
and purchasable public servants
Detroit Record.
We republish the above from one
of the leading country republican
papers of the state, not because it
contains a compliment to the editor
of the Herald; holding the
position, as the aforesaid editor does,
of Big Ogama of the Illustrious
Order of Has Beens, he has reached
a condition where he cares neither
for kicks or compliments. The
item is given to show the wonder
full enthusiasm that has greeted the
Herald's suggestion that Mr..
Jacobson be sent to the Legislature.
We could fill paper five times the
size of the Herald with endorse
ments of the idea. A hundred and
fifty thousand republicans in MIN
nesota demand of Lac qui Parle
county republicans that they send
Mr.. Jacobson to the legislature.
The state is full of good, able re-
publicans, but "Jake" is the
towering, commanding representa-
tive of modern Roosevelt republi-
canism. of the commonwealth. 1t
is up to Mr.. Jacobson himself and
Lac qui Parle county whether or
not they respond to their s'plain
duty"

To the Voters of the Sixth Congress
sionaI District:
I announce that am a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
member of congress for the Sixth
district of Minnesota, subject to the
will of the voters in the primaries,
and earnestly solicit their support.
The determination of all questions
of governmental policy rests with the
people. There is now pressure for
legislative action on more intricate
questions of national policy than there
has been in any previous period and
the wishes of the people must be
shaped into legislation through their
servants in office, and as candidate
I wish to study with the people the
questions that interest them and
solicit their consideration with me

A PLAIN TALK

The editor OF the Herald is not a
candidate for angelic honors. If any
one imagines he is saint the best
thing he can. do is to give his thought
tank a vacation. He does not believe
that it is any worse to sell beer and
whiskey on Sunday than it is to sell
it on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday or
any other day of the week, but we
have no hesitation in saying that the
trial of A. Lindberg, held in this
city on Tuesday last, was the greatest
bowling travesty on justice that ever
took place since courts were es-
tablished.
In the first place the trial never
ought to have taken place in Sank
Centre. Judge Wilcox should have
refused to issue a warrant. The
saddling of five or six hundred dollars
on the taxpayers of Stearns county
to transport defendant, witnesses,
jurors, and records from st. Cloud to
Sank Centre, borders on the out
rageous.
The proper thing for the prosecution
to have done would have been to APP
ply to the St. Cloud authorities for a
warrant. If they refused, to have
called the attention ofthe state author
tiles to such refusal. We are not a
political supporter of Gov. Johnson,
but we think we know him we'll enough
to state that he would make it some
what sultry for any official who failed
to perform statuary duty.
The trial, however, came on in Sank
Centre. The county attorney was the
leading counsel for the defendant, at
least it appeared that way to us.
Judge Barto and George Peterson, as
sociate counsel for the prosecution,
were not permitted to say a word.
There was only one question for the
jury to decide, that was whether Mr..
Linberg kept his saloon open on the
Sunday mentioned in the complaint
or not.
A number of reliable witnesses swore
that he did. No one denied it. And
yet a jury Of twelve good men and
-true," who with right uplifted, swore
to "render verdict according to the
law and evidence = decided he didn't
keep his saloon open on the Sunday
in question, when every one OF them
believed and knew he did. Our SYM
spathies were With Mr. Lindberg. He
is a gentlemanly. courteous and truth
full man, but he kept his saloon open
on the Sunday in question, and so
did every other saloon-keeper in
Stearns county. If he will state over
his own signature he did not, we will
humbly apologize and buy drinks for
the crowd in his place, next Sunday.
The whole business, prosecution,
defense, court and jury was farce, a
travesty, humbug, and if this be
contempt of court, make the most OF
it..
