Leroy Independent: "Tawney is
'knocked' by the peoples lobby says q
press dispatch. That's no news. It
isn't who is "knocking" him, but rather
| who is not, that We want to know.
Fergus Globe: There is . lot Of pork
in sight for the Minnesota legislators.
All they have to do is to threaten to do
something for the people and make the
threat look serious.
Minnesota Mascot: We wonder
whether the state would suffer much if
some of those legislative clerks which
the sol0ns have been making room for,
out of the kindness Of their hearts,
were dispensed with?
Anoka Union:et Plague upon the leg
islature if it passes that $4,000, 600 ST.

times what was claimed it would when
first contemplated and it is time to
chop off.
Adams Review: The majority of
the republicans have been praising
James A. Tawney and giving him a
good majority and for what? When
it comes right down to fine point,
what has he ever done that was of real
practical benefit to the farmer?
Breckenridge Telegram: There is no
question but that the post office de.
partment has been in cahoots with
the railroads when the latter has been
able to get enormous sums for carrying
the mails. The price paid is so out of
all proportion to the service rendered
that it is surprising that the graft is
allowed to continue. ~
Preston Republican,: w. L. Hollister

for old maids and women without child
rem to organize mothers clubs because

tn rs have q special work to do in rear
ing their children in the way they
shouts g. and keeping their young
dang ghters off the streets at night lest
rOwdy boys lead them from the path Of
virtue.
Montevideo Leader: What do you
think of man who will subscribe for
and read the, local paper for years and
then refuse to take it out of the post
/ Office and also refuse to pay for it?
s'PrettY mean sort of man" you say,
and you are right, but say, there are
few of that sort left and they hold their
heads very high and want to be con-
sidered honest and respectable. Oh,
(, the editor knows them and has got
! their exact measure. They are < 9
and scant at that. but how they would
howl if we should publish their names
| Montevideo Leader: You have
probably observed that when wheat
goes up few cents, the price of flour
goes up accordingly, and with remark
able promptness and dispatch, also that
the size OF the lOaves shrink at least
enough to cover the difference in cost.
! But how is it when wheat goes down? If
the price of flour lowers then it will be
a long time doing so and if the loayes
grow big it will take time YOU know.
/ All of which teaches us that competi.
tion is the life Of trade Selah!
