your powers. Pray for powers equal to your
tasks! Then the doing of your work shall be
no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every
day you shall wonder at yourself at the rich
ness of life which has come in you by the grace
of God."-Philips Brooks.
Judge Mills was never selected by the
people for railroad commissioner. He was al
ways favored by the railroads and always favor
ed them. There was never any great secret
about it that we know Of The writer speaks of
what he knows when he says that the merger
railroads not only contributed to Mills ante
convention fund, but that in 1904 fan official of
the merger roads was in the convention hall
ready to assist in securing him the nomination
by any method that might be necessary. This
year the people should not allow the railroads
to name the candidate for so important an office.

We predict for Minnesota large influx of
new settlers in the next few years. Many
causes will contribute to this, but chief among
them is the awakening which is apparent all
over the state to the necessity of advertising
the advantages of this great state. Besides the
work that is being done by the state imnigra-
ton department, which is general in it's nature,
many of the cities of the state are forming
publicity clubs, and commercial clubs, and
booster clubs, all with the general purpose of
building up their own locality. Morris and
Stevens county should not be behind the rest
of the state in this respect, and the organiza-
4; cd i+v
should be given enthusiastic support.

The state convention to nominate state
officers will not be held until July 1st and
there appears to be the same old pre-conven-
ton fight brewing, which an earlier 1conven-
ton would have helped to prevent. In this
connection, the Herman Review makes the
following comment:-"It is hard to determine
the extent of the friendlness of the Young and
Jacobson supporters Some of the eager news
papers supporters of YouHg are accusing Jacob
son of iron ore and timber trust leanings since
Bob Dunn is backing him, and the Jacobson
newspapers friends accusing Young of in
sine Gritty in his lid rulings and railway suits.
AS the campaign wakes warm it will be case
of dog eat dog and harmony and friendliness
will have to take to the tall timber. 1t appears
possible that the contest can be drawn over
Ia stretch of four months and harmony prevail"

The Mnneota Mascot, which is of the
chief of the Jacobson newspapers, is out for ex-
Senator Hawkins, of Duluth, as one the dele
gates at large to the Republican national con-
vention. The Mascot excuses itself on the
ground that "the way that the northern part of
the state is rallying to the support of man
Jake.we feel that it is up to to he liberal with
them in such matters conCede." 1t is
just by such foolishness as this that undesire-
able men selected to represent the people
in conventions Hawkins will probably be
elected delegate because the steel trust crowd
can command sufficient strength i'll the north
ern part of the state to dictate his selection
but there is no use in a sensible Jacobson news
paper falling over itself to endorse man whose |
vote when he in the senate could always
be depended upon to be cast against the very
things that jacobson has stood for.
