Trusts Looking After His Welfare,
J. Adam Bede says that he hasn't
been up in his district for, some time,
but that he docs not expect to have
any opposition. Perhaps the meat
trust and the steel corporation have
told him they have it fixed all right.

Straddling is a fine art, but we
reach the limit when a firm of lawyers
contain members who prosecuted the
trusts under the federal law and an
other who defends them under the
state law. That is what some people
call working both ends against the
middle.-St. Paul Review.

Trade News Of Duluth, has an eye
on the little congressman seat and
the chances are that it will take more
than humor to keep him out of it
Echo Enterprise.
Simply a Gallery Play.
Frank Eddy made great gallery
play when he so tragically warned the
state central committee to keep out of
the congressional fight. No sane man

of the committee butting into Sixth
district congressional matters but
Frank had a few fire crackers left
over from the Fourth and couldn It
help firing them off.-Delano Eagle.
