lature they will secure job that cor
responds with their qualifications.
Battle Lake Review.
A Name to Con jure With.
There is Johnson down in Hen
nepin county that is after the speaker
ship of the house. Republicans should
be careful not to offer any opposition.
There is magic in that name.-Anoka
Herald.
1t Would Be Well.
1t might be a good idea to change
Thanksgiving day to the last day of
the big game season. Those of us
who are left alive have then the great
est cause for thanksgiving.-Crook-
ston Times.
Democrats Entitled to the Plums.
Here's hoping that our distinguished
friend, Gov. johnson, will turn out
into the cold January air every re-
publican hog that has his feet in the
patronage trough and let the plums
fall into the hands of consistent demo-
crats.-Battle Lake Review.
Reformers, Every One of Them!
Nearly every member of the next
Minnesota legislature was elected as
reformer. Now when these cham
plons OF the people meet in a council
OF war next month in the state capitol
woe betide all sinners against the
rights of the dear people. -Faribault
Pilot.
The Lord and the Devil.
A man who sold beer at a Fergus
Falls church fair for the benefit of the
Lord has been fined for not taking out
a license. Doubtless the twenty or
thirty men who are running saloons
there for the benefit of the devil break
the law every day with impunity.-
Duluth News Tribune.

Stirring Up Strife.
Some political writer says that in
1908 cit will have to be jacobson or
democrat again." The fellow who
makes that assertion is paving the way
for trouble, evidently not having had
his fill. The people don't relish being
told they must vote for a certain man
no matter who he is.-Brainerd Dis
patch.
The Haicyon Days of Yore.
twenty-five years ago Gen. R. W.
johnson was the democratic candidate
for governor of Minnesota and was
numerically showed under by Gen. L.
F. Hubbard. Those were indeed the
golden days when a man by the name
of Hubbard could lick party by the
name of johnson, politically Orion
vile Herald-Star.
Degeneracy ExempIified.
Caruso, a fellow with rattan skin
and sweet voice, the idol of the ma
tinee woman, looks in at the monkeys
in their cage and thinks: GLOW won
derfully I have developed since was
a monkey while the monkeys look
out upon Caruso and his antics and
say "Gee whiz! How our race has
degenerated. '-Irish Standard.
A Pertinent Question.
The Window Reporter, having as
sisted in the defeat of the party's can
didate for governor, now announces in
all seriousness that it is a republican
newspaper. -Mankato Free Press.
Yes, sir; it assisted in defeating Mr..
oO1O, cIAu 1uS VOGCu DIS GIl0 paper
assisted. Two years ago the Free
Press ''assisted in the election'' of
Dunn, but did it's editors, managers
and bosses vote for Dunn or Johnson?

Certainly They DO Not Appreciate 1t.
The editor of the Dassel Anchor is
going after the mail order houses and
handles them without gloves. It may
be good policy, but we have some
mighty big doubts about it, We do
not believe One-tenth of the home mer-
chants appreciate it when.a paper takes
such stand, neither do we believe

only way to knock out the mail order
business is for the merchants to pound
it hard and everlastingly with the
