OTHER EDIT0RH OPINIONS
Preston Republican: The season ls
approaching when little caloric from
the radiator will be more appreciated
than all the hot air of the politicians.
Atchison Globe: The dainty little
white apron lace and ribbon trimmed
that q girl wears when using a chat
ing dish, may appeal to the young man,
but the Dig checked blue gingham that
associates with a kitchen stove is the
kind that appeals to US.
Winnebago City Enterprise: It looks
like johnson for the Democratic nomi-
nee for President III 1912. johnson
has fairly earned the honor-but he
will never carry Minnesota for Demo-
cracy on national Issue.
st. Cloud Journal Press: The big
interests railroads, steel trust, and the
big breweries in particuIar-are not
shedding any tears over Jacobson's de.
feat. And why should they? He was
not their candidate.
Duluth Herald: If it costs the ma.
tion billion year to maintain tuber-
culosis, and if it is clear and it is as
clear as anything in medical science
that consumption can be curbed, d.
minished and ultimately Obliterated,
should the public haggle over the OK.

plague?
Duluth News-Tribune: There is
| much merit in the contention of
Senator Stephens of Cookston that
a portion of the earnings of the in
mates of the state prison and reform
atory should go to their families for
their support. 1t is not the fault of
the wife and children that a man
| becomes criminal.
| Moreover, it is neither Just nor
humane that the families of GRIMM
| ais should become subjects of char
ity while the state piles up profits
from prison labor. 1t is said to be
of record that a considerable num-
Der of the families of the inmates
have to be wholly or partially sup
ported by the public.
Chicago lnterocean: An honest
newspaper today has considerable
| difficulty in sticking to its principles.
With q pack of masquerading scound-
rols to defame him for money on the
one side and crowd of blatherskiting
demaROgues to denounce him for votes
on the other, the honest editor does not
find very much true peace of mind.
In fact, his common condition is see-
thing indignation and suIphuric erup-
ton.
Progress: 1t has been the rule in
Queensland, Australia, since 1879 to
pension widows with children. The
state has found it wiser to pension the
mother for the care of her children
than to condemn her to follow EMPLOY
ments in which she would be OBLIGED
to neglect them to support them. A
new scale of allowances has been
authorized by parliament.
Providence Tribune: Those persons
who are attracted by proposals to
guarantee bank deposits imagine. of
course, that in some way the plan is
going to be q legislative boon conferred
upon the depOsltOrs without any cost
But little reflection should show that
1t Is the people, not the banks, that
must pay. Indeed, the Oklahoma
| bank guaranty plan which the late
Treasurer Haskell put into the Denver
platform and which Mr.. Bryan is laud-
ing as popular measure ia reality
originated with the banks themselves
for their own profit.
