Mower County transcript., 1906-12-12
OTHER EDITORS OPINIONS

Pennington Tribune: There's so
much prosperity in the country that
| the get-rich-quick man is making a
tremendous onslaught on the people
with savings. Watch out for him.
| Mortified News: There has been
some inquiry as to why Congressman
Tawney didn't carry Missouri this year.
1t may be remembered that Jim
thought he carried the State two years
ago.
Itasca News: The exclusion Of Jap
anese children from the public schools
of California affords curious spectacle.
America is sending missionaries to
! Japan to christianiZe the nation, but
the "little brown men, evidently have
TO hopes of redemption in this country
according to the views of some.
! Breckenridge Gazette: $. A. Lang.
um, OF Preston, and +. A. Nelson, of
Hallock, are the opposing candidates
for secretary of the state senate. Both
men have been candidates for some
thing so long that the memory Of the
man runneth not to the contrary.
Wouldn't it be the part of wisdom to
tie nice, shiny can to each of them?
! Lake City Graphic Sentinel. Jim
Tawney again as Of yore-during the
campaign was for tariff revision and
! at the same time declared that Cannon,
the chief of the standpatters and most
brazen of them all, is his choice for
president. This is like crying out
against the trusts and at the same time
standing by the tariff that created them
and upholds them.
Inter Lake Tribune: Today from a
democratic standpoint it is demo
cratic victory in Minnesota, but before
election it was the "high minded, indie
pendent thinkers of the republican
party" who were going to turn the
trick. They did, but democracy now
claims all the credit and takes all the
offices, and the "high- minded indepen.
dents" can sit on the fence and watch
the procession go by.
! Valley Farmer: We want no more
low wheeled wagons that are wide tired
We have one we have used on this
farm for five years, and we rather
think we know something about wide
tired wagons by this time. In the mud
they are horse killers, they are the same
IN snow, and when snow is melting a
little it will ball on the wide tires until
! it is impossible for the wheel TO turn.
| We want no more wide tires
Walker Pilot: Northern Minnesota
legislation this coming winter. 1t vot'
ed down state drainage, the immigra.
tion law, the inheritance tax, special
railroad legislation, and lot of other
| important measures when it voted
against Cole for governor. In other
, words, il we accept the verdict of the
majority, Northern Minnesota is simply
content to exist aud be 'jOllied"
| Rich Hill (Mo) Review: Back of all
this movement for higher postal rates
on newspapers is the influence of the
railroads, which are paid subsidies fo1
carrying the mail and exorbitant rates
for running the postal cars and rent
for the same. There would be no de
fcit if congressman were divorced from
! the railroad influence and would vote
to reform the law which allows the
railroads far greater compensation
Chatfeld n ws.DemOcrat: Il h e
Stewartville Star and the Stewartville
Times will be consolidated in the near
future, deal having been completed
whereby the Olmsted County Publish.
ing Company will publish one paper
in that village in the future The two
have been struggling for existence in
that village for the past few years and
the change will not only be relief to
the editors but to business men as we'll
We wish the new company unbOunded
success.
Rochester Bulletin: There has been
prolonged and bitter fight over the
POST Office matter at Austin and the ex.
citement has not yet subsidized. Taw.
ney, it seems, held up the recommenda.
tion until after election for fear of los.
ing the support of the Transcript, a,
the same time encouraging Belden and
his friends to push their claim. Soon
after the election D. j. Simmons was
recommended instead of Beldep an6
now there's trouble in Mower county
for the First District Congressman.
LeSueur News: The Third Assis
tant Postmaster General wants tC
charge four times the present rate t
carry second class matter, while indi
viduals have offered to continue tht
present service, inaugurate one con
, postage for letters and rural express
, and wipe out the deficit besides. l.
the Third Assistant Postmaster was a.
interested in post Office affairs as b,
: pretends to be he would try to see tina
+ the railroads do not continue to receiv,
eight times as much as the express com
panies do for the same kind of work.
Waterville Advance: There is some
thing wrong about the sugar beet plan
l at Chaska. They claim the railroad
cannot handle the crop. The railroad
claim the factory is trying to make
warehouse of its cars. Anyhow tn
grower of beets suffers. In this coun
f ty alarge percentage of the beets ar
= still in the growers fields, and the,

There will be shrinkage, more ex
