:OPINIONS OF EDITORS
Mighty Lonesome.
Doing business without advertising
is like living without family-it may
be cheaper, but it is far more lone
some.-Big Fork Compass.
$3.50. "
: Advertising Pays.
The North Dakota editors cut out
all railroad advertising January first
and some of the towns haven't had a
train since. It pays to ADVERTISE
Bemidji Sentinel.
Allen Approves of Salary Advance.
The editor of this paper heartily ap-
proves of the measure to raise the
salaries of all state employees to a
living basis. Senators and repre-
sentatives should receive at least
1000 term. AS it is now no poor
man can afford to take Office unless
dishonest Bemidji Sentinel.

Equal to the Occasion.
Princeton has had two fires within
two weeks, entailing loss in prop
erty of nearly 100000 dollars. Such
a calamity is almost death blow to
any small town, but Princeton will no
doubt be- equal to the occasion and
rise out of the ashes more beautiful
than ever.-Chisago County Press.
Bjornson's Suggestion.
An information bureau for the state
legislature is said to be the burden of
a bill recently introduced. We would
suggest that each member of the legis-
lature order the local papers of his
district sent to his St. Paul address.
If that doesn't give him about all the
information he can digest between
sessions, we miss our guess.-Minne-
ota Mascot.
County OptioD-H USH!
That the state legislature might
adopt coat of arms having the let
ters II U S II rampant on a field of
whitewash.-St. Peter Herald.
Wouldn't a picture of Governor
John. when he wrote his rampant
opinion of local option to the house
of representatives be better?-Blue
Earth Post.
"Them's Our Sentiments, Too"
This paper declines to believe that
the legislature is as rotten as some of
the St. Paul correspondents allege.
It is poor business charging that the
states representatives are corrupt and
unworthy of confidence. Some of the
correspondents make it business to
besmirch private character and ques-
tion the motives of men of unblem-
ished regulations. It is shameful
Ortonville Herald-Star.

An Unjust Measure.
A bill before the Minnesota legisla-
ture would compel all corporations
in the state to report the details of
their business to a state official. It is
seldom measure of more villainous
character than this is presented for
consideration. The state of Mime
sofa is just beginning to reap some of
the results of her political demagog-
uery. If this sort of agitation goes
on Minnesota will be a good state for
business enterprises to stay out Of
Commercial West.
Butter and Corn.
A pound and half of butter will
buy a bushel of corn. A bushel of
corn, if properly fed, will make six
pounds of butter. If you sell the six
pounds of butter from the farm you
remove practically no fertility and
get four times as much for it as you
would for the corn. If you sell the
corn you get only a fourth as much
as you could make from it by feeding
it to the COWS and selling the butter,
and still be removing about II cents
worth of fertility from the farm, about
half as much as the corn is WORTH
