Must be for Good Roads.
Whether a candidate is for county
option or not, he should be for good
roads and the extending of state aid
for them, as that would be the uni
versal demand of the entire populace
OF the commonwealth, and we hope to
see every man who is candidate next
year go on record as a champion of
good roads and he will be elected on
that issue and not on any other, so
here is tip for those who hope to win
the favor of the public and serve the
people. -Granite Falls Tribune.

Government by Federal Pap-Suckers.
1t has been pointed out that Gov.
Eberhart's appointment of Senator
Knute Nelson's friend, W. E. Hale, to
district judgeship, and of Senator
knute Nelson's private secretary, J.
A. O. Preus, as executive clerk to the
governor, ought to be very gratifying
to the honorable Knute and insure his
assistance later in the game. It looks
a little that way. Doesn't it? AS for
effects, however, much depends on
how long the people intend to permit
the federal machine to run the politics
OF the state.-Red Wing Free Press.

Let 1t Rest In Peace
1t is proposed to resurrect the old
Republican State league, which was
first organized in 1883 and it's useful
ness quickly strangled by a lot of
political buccaneers who brought it
into existence and used it merely as a.
means to promote their own personal
interests. The rank and file of re-
publicans never enthused over the
project, but the promoters made the
national party leaders believe that the
prairies were on fire and some fat
political jobs came from it, then it
died. If it is to be repetition of the
old game, better let the thing remain
dead.-Preston Times.

Wtnd-Jammers Make People Tired
The governor who makes no
speeches except it be imperative, is
the most acceptable one from every
body's point of view. Minnesota has
had such ones and they gave the best
of satisfaction to the people, who are
the ones they should seek to please.
This having two and three weeks
billed ahead to make speeches is not
what it is cracked up to be, and we
but voice the sentiments of the MAORI
ty when we say that making speeches
IS not part of the governors duties
when such speeches are not material
to the interests of the commonwealth.

Civic Patriotism.
Civic patriotism is not so pro-
nounced or so common as national
patriotism, yet without it no place can
prosper. Every citizen should be
loyal to his town and that loyalty
should be expressed by acts as we'll
as words. Words are cheap and are
not to be compared with the useful
patriotic acts by which man shows
his faith and interest in the community
of which he is a part. Such acts
build up town, promote it's prosperi-
ty and make sure it's future. And
there is no citizen however humble or
however lowly his occupation but can
contribute something to the common
good. -Frazee Free Press.

- Has No Use for Medicine Hat
Medicine Hat is where they manu-
facture weather for this great north
western country of ours. They put
up a bad article sometimes in the
latter part of January and February.
It is harmless looking place though.
In the general advance of the country
Medicine Hat has not been left behind,
still it has not made the progress that
some other places have made. We
got breakfast there one morning and
it was not good. It is rather queer
that the G. P. r. has not followed out
|.its general policy here ssand erected
an eating house. The Chinese Joints
to which one is almost compelled to
go are anything but inviting places.
