Great Men.
Thomas Lawson believes that Gov.
johnson is an available man for
president. Gov. Johnson thinks Tom
is great man. Amusing little cusses
are John and TOm.--Le Sueur News.

a Traitors Coarse Witticism.
Here is a little witticism from the
serious minded humorist who writes
editorials for his St. Cloud Journal
Press: us Condo Hamlin afraid to
call the Republican State Central
committee together? Looks that way.
If he doesn't hurry up, the republic
cans can nominate jacobson for gov
ernor by petition, and thus circum-
vent the scheme Of Hamlin and
|O'Connor to elect democrat for
governor for the second time. Rich
ard and Condo did it once-but they
can't do it again. Duluth News

"Town Topics" Mendacious Liar.
For the quintessence of indebted
malignity, commend US to the last
exhibition of the Minneapolis Even
ing ''Town Topics" in it's malicious
fake about the meeting of Dunn and
his friends here in this city recently.
AS the chief in the harmony chorus,
it's contemplate efforts to help Cover
nor John in every possible way are
again made manifest. But it's desire
to calumniate a most honorable man
as possible nominee of the republi-
cans of the state as their candidate for
governor and do dirt to one equally
decent is past all inquiry. The very
name of Hanson scares Umbrellar

No Item So Important.
The printing of the personal tax list
of the various counties should be
made part of the official printing.
There is no item of public business so
important as the fair and just assess
ment of taxes and there is nothing be-
ing done anywhere that is contributing
so much toward the securing of a fair,
equitable assessment as the making
public of what personal tax each man
in the country is paying. To our GER
tain knowledge there is no other item
published during the year that is so
eagerly looked for and that is so fully
studied as the personal property tax
list. Neighbors know if their fellows
are paying fair tax and the quiet
talks between neighbors over the mat
ter is doing more to "equalize" per-
sona] tax. assessment than all the
work of all the boards since the be-
ginning of the system.-Long Prairie

Minneapolis "Town Topics" for Instance.
The yellow journal cannot, in my
opinion, last. In time people will
become familiar and grow tired of it's
tricks and it's manners. Sausages of
dog-meat, though ever so highly sea-
soned, will after while sicken all but
the coarsest stomachs particularly
when sausages are known to be made
of dog-meat. The general public will
be educated to understand the differ
ence between sensational and fake
matter and legitimate and reliable
news. SPRAYING headlines will no
| longer suffice to carry fabrications
