OTHER EDITORS OPINIONS
Virginia Enterprise: The man who
gets mad at what the newspaper says
of him should return thanks thrice
daily for what the newspaper knows OF
him and refrains from saying, out OF
respect for his family.
St. Cloud Journal: Anna Gould, who
was recently divorced from County
Boni, is reported to be engaged to a
prince, one Helie de Sagan, who has
the reputation of being as much of a
spendthrift as was hubby No. l. 1t
true. Anna is in for another Helle of
time.
Breckenridge Telegram: The Ma
tional Educational Association is IN a
mixup over the so called slmpllted
spelling reform. The secretary is or
dered to add about 800 words and at the
same time to return to the old form in
about dozen instances. Better cut
out the whole lot of foolishness.
Alden Advance: An exchange has
discovered that poor girl has to be
awfully good looking to be pretty, and
a rich girl has to be awfully homely to
be ugly It might have added that
poor man had to be awfully smart to
be intelligent, and a rich man almost a
blockhead to be ignorant.
st. Paul Dispatch: For collecting
$4,000 life insurance where no lawsuit
was Involved, New York lawyer
charged a widow $1,036.79, and the
court ordered him to put it all back
but 5000. But it did not order the ar
rest of the lawyer. What is the matter
with our courts?
Brainerd Tribune: The progress of
cities is measured by the public spirit
of their inhabitants. Men whose only
interest is in the success of their indi-
vidual business may make money tor
themselves, but they cannot build sue
cessful cities any more than pile OF
stones can furnish sustenance for grow
ing plants.
Blue Earth Post: Big crop or little
crop. the farm lands of the Blue Earth
valley and Faribault county in general,
are worth third more than the selling
price today. Good farms in Faribault
county are worth sb75 per acre, and the
fellow who sells now will be kicking
himself half to death within the next
two years.
Richmond Standard: Many man
is rich without money. Thousands of
them with nothing in their pockets, are
rich. A man born with good stom-
ach, a good heart and limbs and
pretty good head piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold, tough mus
cles than silver, and nerves that flash
fire and carry energy to every function,
are better than houses and land.
Cannon Falls Beacon: The Beacon
has shown time and again, how discrim
nations in freight rates in favor of the
twin cities and against the towns in
the interior of the state, has had the
effect of dwarling, when it is has not
exterminated, trade in these towns.
Jobbing and manufacturing has been
made in most points outside the cities.
Natural facilities such as water powers,
have become improbable where they
have not been allowed to revert to
! their former condition of unusefulness.
Indianapolis News: 1t really seems
almost a waste of time for courts to
try cases when the ''higher law" is in
voked. Why should not some state
frankly.accept the situation and place
on the statute books some such simple
declaration as this: "Any man shall
have the right to kill an other man
that has insulted or that he supposes
has insulted a woman of his family?"
That would give private vengeance
a legal, as we'll as a sentimental, status,
and hasten the progress to anarchy.
Pennington Tribune: The sym.
pathy of the public will be with the
bankers, especially the little fellows
in the controversy with the express
companies over the right of the latter
to carry on what is claimed to be a
banking business, through system OF
money orders. Without regard to the
legal point involved, the feeling against
the express companies, at present, viii
incline the popular mind to decide i1
favor of the banks.
Duluth Herald: There is a vast diff
ference between the man that buys hi!
stock outright, whether for investment
or speculation or both, and the mar
that ventures his slender store Of say
ings upon margin deals. The former
with his stock safely laid away in hi
7 strong box, will no doubt be annoye(
by precipitious declines in marke
prices, but he cannot be wiped out
No matter how low the price may 20
he still has his stock, and if it be
sound and conservative issue, he car
: hold on confident that sooner or late
the price will go back to the norma
level. In the meantime he can draw
his dividends and be happy.
Washington Star: The navy depart
ment is really going beyond the require
: ments of courtesy of diplomacy in ex
planning the purpose of the proposed
transfer Of a number of warships from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. This trans
fer requires that the ships shall &c
through foreign waters, principally
