OTHER EDITORS OPIRI0XS
Red Lake Falls Gazette: The Prince
ton Union suggests leaving the p0liti
clans at home and sending the country
editors to the national conventions.
How fortunate that none OF the editors
is politician.
Albert Lea Enterprise: The post
Office at Lyle has been advanced from
the fourth class to third class office
and Postmaster Robertson has receiv-
ed his commission to that effect. This
indicates that Lyle is advancing as one
of the prosperous villages in this Sec
ton.
NOrthtield News: Congressman Taw-
ney's answer to the demand in the first
district for the removal of the tax on
lumber is the introduction of bill tax
ing tobacco coupons, which will no
doubt, ill long-felt want, and should
besides suggest to the Cuckoo Chorus
a topic for new swan song.
Park Rapids Enterprise: Joe Can
non, with his stand pat ideas and stand
pat padded committees for the present
session OF congress, need not hope for
many delegates from the central west,
in his quest for the republican nomina-
tion for the presidency. Standpatism
is out of tune with present progressive
republican sentiment.

Winnebago City Enterprise: 1t seems
that the &. O p. of this state has 3
memory that Is woefully short. 1t was
this mud battery style, of campaign
that put johnson in the gubernatorial
chair four years ago, aud if the Repub-
licans do not put on the soft pedal
pretty soon, it will result in snother
Democratic governor.
West Concord Enterprise: Isn't it
, nauseating to read the temperance edi-
torials in the twin city daily newspap-
ers, and then turn to the advertising
columns and find "Puffy'e Whisky
and "Demm's Beer" and half a dozen
| other advertisements from whiskey
houses and breweries. Consistency is a
jewel, but the publisher of the average
city paper does not seem to possess the
jewel
Kasson Republican: The Austin
Transcript says that President ROose.
velt has never been elected to the presi-
dency but once, and asks, in case of his
election this year, what precedent
would be broken. The question is
what do the common people care for a
precedent" anyway. We don't believe
that Taft, or any other man, can carry
out and complete the unfinished bust
ness" as we'll as Roosevelt, and We are
for Teddy tirst-then Taft. 4
Fairmont independent: A farmers
wife came TO town last week and was
telling how cheap she bought fine
dress of cloth peddler Investigation
showed that she could have bought
better quality Of goods of Fairmont
merchants for less than one half the
amount she paid the cloth peddler.
ou can rest assured that these peddlers
are not travelling the country for their
health.
AnOka Union: Make Joel p. Heat
wole of NOrthfield, governor OF The
state of Minnesota, and he will build
up party organization strong and
popular. The real workers in the party
will be always ready to lend q helping
hand. He will see to it that republi-
cans have the offices, and half hearted
ones will be pushed aside. As an or
ganizer he has no superior in the state.
and under his manipulation it will be
a long time before we will have another
democratic administration. .
Fairmont Sentinel: When the gov
ernment asked for bids on cement the
lowest offer was SO. 20 per barrel. When
the government talked of making its
own cement the bids fell to 1898 per
barrel The government went ahead
with the mill and is turning out roOd
cement at 1892 per barrel what do
you think would become Of Standard
Oil II the government went to refining
oil and selling it to the people al s2lS
cents q gallon? Wouldn't that bust
the trust? m y
LeSueur News: We notice a few of
