Some have suggested that the strong
est hope that the railroads have OF
killing the railroad bill in the senate
is that the senate has no reputation to
lose. Lake City Graphic-Sentinel.
The young woman who is writing
paragraphs for the back page of the
Minneapolis Tribune should discard
the nom de plume, "Quentin, and
sign her own name to her excellent
work. News Tribune.
North Dakota has a congressman
who found something worth doing.
This is SO unusual in congress that
everyone is wondering why he took
the trouble when his salary would go
on just the same anyway.-Martin
County Independent.
This column is receiving photos and
cordial letters of greeting from large
number of gentlemen who evidently
expect us to help catch and cage the
bees now worrying their bonnets. To
paraphrase the story, "This is no
beehive, gentlemen, it's a newspaper
office. "-Ortonville Herald-Star.
Let the people understand that an
attempt is being made to do up Presi-
dent Roosevelt in congress, and they
will rally to his support in manner
that'll confuse and condemn his OPP
ponents. Theodore Roosevelt stands
too close to the voters of these United
States for them to stand any funny
work. -Anoka Union.
G.. F. Staples says he will be cam
didate for the second term as rail-
road and warehouse commissioner and
will stand on his record. Staples,
who by the way, is pretty good man,
may stand on his record, but it is
painfully true that he cannot travel
very far on it or the record of the
whole commission. 1t is decidedly
limited. st. Cloud Journal-Press.
There was time when the public
press deemed it its duty to help formu-
late and harmonic public opinion,
but with journalism monopolized in
to the hands of public service corpora
tons, and employed in distracting
and confusing public opinion, no.
thing but revolution can ever dis
lodge an organization once it gains
control of both parties. Midway News.
The total absence of any kind of a
row between possible gubernatorial
candidates seems in a fair way Of
being offset by nasty contention as
to whether an early or a late conven-
says: every leg puller and CRATER
idea" Easy there, that's fightin'
Ortonville Herald-Star.
The only reason we can offer for an
early convention is to obviate long
drawn-out pre-convention struggle for
the nomination. AS matters now
stand there is just the right spirit pre-
vailing, and the sooner the convention
the better. There is just as much
chance for the leg puller and CRATER
to get his work in before the holding
of late convention as after an early
one. Let us have an early convention
not in the interest of any candidate,
but for the. sake of harmony.-Blue
Earth Post.
Senator Hawkins, Duluth senator,
has announced his candidacy for
acknowledgements. The senator was
chairman Of the committee on rail-
roads at the last session, and no doubt
filled the position with entire salts
faction to the corporations. He is
also little deaf, but can hear the
slightest whisper of the steel trust.
Senator Hawkins would make fitting
successor to Ray Jones. -Hutchinson
Leader.
This well-timed note of warning is
sounded by the Northfield News, and
deserves to be attentively needed: cit
is seven months before the primary
election will be held. The railroads
and trusts believe in being in the field
early with candidates go that others
will not file. That the railroads are
busy now trying to secure the next
legislature, especially the speaker
and senators, is shown by the number
of men, thruout the state who have
filed for the senate and house at this
time. So far as we have noticed the
parties will be the obedient servants
of the railroads.
