superficial to capture the attention

1t would be interesting to know
what effect the decision will have
upon the senatorial situation in Min
nesota. Frank B. Kellogg wants to
succeed Moses E. Clapp as senator.
He was chief counsel for the govern
ment against the Standard Oil. and
his victory ought to add new luster to
his trust-busting record and enhance

Old Joe Necessary!
The talk about uprooting Old Joe
Cannon is the cheapest kind of
political tommyrot. Old Joe is in
the saddle to stay during the present
administration. He is necessary to a
successful carrying out of plans that
recent events show we're we'll matured

Meaningless Distortion
The custom of abbreviating the
word "Christmas" and making it
HXmas' is Objectionable, to say the
least. "Christmas" is a beautiful
and time-honored appeliation for the
day that saw the birth of the Savior,
while ''Xmas' is meaningless dis
tortion that was picked up thought:
lessly by busy people. Let us unite
this year in a determined effort to
Danish "Xmas'' and restore
|"Christmas to it's rightful place.

Very Simple Program.
The political program at the state
capitol is a simple one. With a
single exception all the heads of de-
partments want to retain their Jobs.
Hence they are all for party harmony
with themselves as benefciaries.
With that purpose in view they insist
that it is the duty of the party leaders
to sit down firmly on obstreperous
individuals who seek to introduce dis
turbing issues into practical politics.
In trying to do something for the
people that some thing might happen
to break up the slate, which would
never do.-NorJhfeld News.

Eberhart to the Rescue
Since the big game hunter now So
journing in the dark continent first
fathered the policy of conservation OF
natural resources many men have
sought to claim this policy for their
ownest own. After starting the work
of conservation Mr.. Roosevelt stepped
out of the arena. Then conservation
was looked after by the great forester,
Mr.. Pinchot. Enter Mr.. Ballinger.
Mr.. Ballinger, being in legal control
of natural resources belonging to the
government, lets few slip through>a
hole in his side pocket to the great
grief of Mr.. Pinchot. The entire
country looks on in askance, fearsome
lest the careless Mr.. Ballinger allow
more of the horsepowery waterfalls
and anthracite diamond fields to be
benevOlently assimilated by the
greedy trusts. Just at this moment,
when dispair is rife, we are saved,
saved ! The governor of Minnesota
proposes to conserve Minnesota's
natural resources, anyway. The
state of Minnesota shall not allow
any of its heritage to get away. OF
course the waterpowers on the
Mississippi, the St. Croix, the Rainy
and other streams have already been
exploited, the iron mines practically
all in the hands of private parties,
the timber all sold and the money in
