The Cole papers are working
up a fine case Of indignation over
what they are pleased to call the
nerve of A. D. Stephens in
"stealing Coles drainage thun-
der.' AS matter of fact, Steph
ems has done more for drainage
than the Walker man has ever
thought of doing. The Crooks
ton senator's measure, which he
fought through the legislature
almost alone, making it possible
for counties to borrow money
from the state for drainage pur-
poses at three per cent, has been
the greatest iHpetus to the de-
velopment Of nor thern Minnesota
started in many years. 1t is a
practical measure which has
done far more for drainage than
Coles much boasted bill. When
papers accuse Andy Stephens of
stealing someone else's thunder
they should look up the records.
He has thunder of his own and to
spare.

how Mr.. Bernard could maintain
himself in Washington for so
many months on the $500 con-
tributed by the Minneapolis
business men for drainage pur-
poses, but itnoW appears that
Mr.. Bernard had other business
in the third house Of congress
than drainage.
Confession Of the exact reasons
for Mr.. Bernard's long stay in
Washington is found in a dis
patch to the Pioneer Press from
Cass Lake telling of the rejec-
ton Of the offer Of the forestry
bureau to release $4,000 acres of
the forest reserve adjacent to
Cass Lake. The dispatch con-
cludes: "The club also voted to

The appellate division of the
New York supreme court has de-
cided that it is no crime to take
$4,000 of the policyholders
money and hand it over to a poll
tical party as campaign fund
contribution, just as a Minneap,
oils jury has decided that an Off
Ger has a right to take $4,000 of
the policyholders' money with
which to bribe a state officer
These practices may be alright
under the present law, but they
are likely to be dangerous past,
times when a few legislatures
get busy with some much needed
legislation.

What can be said Of the gall OF
senator who refuses to resign
though convicted Of a crime
and sentenced to prison! Sena-
tor Burton and few others,
who, though not convicted. ought
to be, in the opinion of the coun.
try at large, call it not wanting
to "retire under fire."

The postponing OF the conven-
ton of the Minnesota state drain
age league from June 5 to June
26 is a wise action. The former
date conflicted with the republi.
can county conventions and
would have meant that the best
men in the state would have
been unable to go to Wadena.
The drainage convention on the
twenty-sixth ought to be a sue
cess.

Tie Thirteen Towns: The

where in this issue, is receiving
hearty endorsement throughout
the Ninth district and from

such endorser.
r st. Paul Dispatch, 'The
County Chairman:" There has
been much talk and advice along
the lines of unlnstructed delega-
tons to the Duluth convention,
but honestly I am not in with the
game. The chances for skull
duggery are too great. Better
tie 'em down before they start
for Duluth. There will be less
chance for a scandal when the
thing is over. This cry of unin-
structed delegations began with
the start of the campaign and it
has been played for all there is
in it. Back of it we're interests
that play politics for what there
is in it and that is enough. Why,
get into any bunch of politicians
and the talk generally runs to
the good times that are due at
Duluth. The sentiment generally
is that if,you have the coin the
rest will be easy. Again I say
better tie 'em up. It will keep
