st. Paul Dispatch: The standpatters
are not satilied with Secretary Ta1t's
idea of a tariff that will afford them
reasonable profits. What they want is
unreasonable gain.
Cannon Falls Beacon: However Mr..
Tawney may protest his loyalty to
President Roosevelt, that his record
does not confirm it is fact recognized

public affairs during the past three
years.

Lawsy, there must be a primary elec-
ton in sight!
St. Peter Free Press: A tax on bacne
lors, it is claimed, would be constitu-
tional, for the reason that such a law
would be for the public good, the same
as a tax on marriages. If this is sound
doctrine what is the matter with taxing
old maids? Most of them have prob
ably Tilted some good young man in
years gone by and there is no good
reason why an exception should be
made in their favor.
GAINESVILLE Argus: The Blue Earth
Post suggests the name of Prof. A. G.
Tibbetts for congress next year on the
republican ticket. The professor is all
right. Among the bunch of aspirants
for the positionlthere is no brainier man
and no man who would more complete
ly and thoroughly grace the position.
Should the professor go into the race
his friends here would be tempted to
move over into the second district to
give him boost.
Caledonia Journal: From the way
the TaWney organs squeal, protest and
deny about certain political matters
published in the st. Paul Dispatch and
other papers it is evident that the lat
ter class of papers must have come
about the matter. It is natural in.

Winona Republican Herald Gov.
Johnson's censure of Sheriff Gerber of
Ramsey county reads like an over. zeal
.ous attempt to work a little cheap poll
tics, The sheriff appears to have done
his duty in preventing prize fight be-
ing pulled off in his domain, and the
fighters went to Wisconsin territory to
maui each other. Just what Sheriff
Gerber had to do with prize fight in
Wisconsin the governor does not ex-
plain. <
Sleepy Eye Herald: The brainy and
fearless editor of the Cannon Falls
Beacon has written an open letter to
the Hon. James A. Tawney, congress
man from Winona, asking the latter
gentleman how he stands on some i'm
portant measures affecting the country
at this time. The first district con-
gresham is first class promiser and
