cir Hennepins Hyenas Harmonize
The Lincoln banquet at Minneapolis
this week was widely advertised as
harmony gathering and was reported
as being harmonious without enthus-
lasm. Too much should not be ex-
pected Of Hennepin. Harmony is
needed now as a starter and the en-
thusiasm will develop with the cam
paign. If Hennepin will only give US
an exhibition of harmonious enthus-
lasm next fall, she may be pardoned
for lack Of it in the past.-Lake City

Deliberate Prevarication
Ii there is one thing more despicable
than another it is man a or woman
who is everlastingly trying to foment
trouble by mysteriously limiting at
something-by slandering through
lnnuendo. But the sad part
| OF it is, this same animal has entered
the newspaper field and acts as the
political barometer of the Minneapo-
lis "Town Eopics.''' The mysterious
meetings" which are held, "attended
by those prominent" in the counsels
OF this man or that, the limited knit
ings, the certain elements that are
made to fight who never thought of
strife, the insidious working of evil
and i'll will which underlie so MANY of
the writings of this sycophant, are
nauseating in the extreme. Flights
OF Imagination are pardonable.
Fairy tales are amusing, but deliber-
ate fabrications gotten up to cause
strife among those who should be
friends are -ll.-Delano Eagle.

Savors of Graft.
Notwithstanding that fraudulent
food is being shipped into this state
and sold to the consumers, according
to the reports given out by the pure
food department., you seldom hear of
anyone being arrested unless it is
some country dealer. Why?-Lake

The Butt of Ridicule
The Mortified News wants no
pointing with pride" platform this
year. This will clearly put Resolu-
ton Bill Grimshaw out of commits
sion, but that would be no loss, as his
stereotyped illusions have long been
the butt of ridicule. Preston Times.
!. So.
Meeting Was a Failure.
The meeting of the state board of
equalization and the county auditors
called by Gov. johnson at St. Paul
to discuss assessment matters was q
failure, that is as far as any good to
the taxpayers of the state is con-
cerned. Property will be assessed in
the same haphazard manner as be-
fore.-Lake Wilson Pilot.

Big Nuisance
The suggestion of the Princeton
q i o n that, if St. Paul and Mime
apolis ever became one city, the name
OF st. Paul be retained, is good one.
The Region heartily seconds the mo-
ton. The state at large would be
glad to forget Hennepin county, which
is Minneapolis. That city has been
big nuisance, politically, and no
one would regret it's sinking into OBJ
livion, except Minneapolitans, maybe.

BOrax Not Injurious.
Borax:is no more injurious in pre-
serving food than is salt or saltpetre
or vinegar. The question always
should be, is the preservative used,
in the quantity used and for the pur-
pose used, injurious to health? And
that question no food commissioner
can decide nor his chemist determine.
