But Their Support VIII Be Expected.
Now that Frank Day has quit the
capitol the country newspaper boys
will not stand much of show in that
marble palace. -Roseau Region.
Collared and CollarIess.
Belden, Of the Austin Transcript,
talks about a postoffice collar. The
only trouble with Belden is that he is
mad because he isn't wearing one
himself. -Janesville Argus.

Government Lotteries Improbable
IN most instances the money spent
IN drawing a government farm could
be more profitably invested in a few
acres of desirable land in northern
Minnesota, where values are real and
crops sure.-Brainerd Tribune.
Show Signs of Restlessness
Some so-called big state politicians
on the republican side of the fence,
who are supposed to be standing up
with Governor Eberhart, are begin
ming to shift from one foot to another

Frank the SacrificiaI Lamb.
Frank A. Day is the logical can
didate for governor on the democratic
ticket next year. This is rendered
more apparent on account of the fact
that both Hammond and Lind have
turned down the profered honor

Ed. Smiths Brand of Harmony.
The harmony so vOciferOusly
promulgated by the state senatorial
combine has symptoms of being
harmony with a string attached to it.
Harmony is good if your candidate
wins, but if the other fellow wins, to
the deuce with harmony.-Elk River

MlnnesOtans Refuse to Swallow His Gush
The gentleman who came to Min
nesota from the sunny south, Chas.
Grasty, to teach the Gopher state how
to run daily newspapers, has tired of
his job in few short months. Like
good many other lesser lights Mr..
Grasty's long suit was gush, and it
didn't 60 down with Minnesotans.-

Public Confidence Better Than Doodle.
We trust that Bro. Geo. Thompson,
now that he has the St. Paul Dispatch
and the Pioneer Press under his con-
troll, will take the active management
into his own hands, and give US two
good newspapers free from corpora
tion dictatlon. The confidence of the
public is a better asset than the
Doodle of the big interests Journal-

Billy Still Controls 1t.
The Fairmont Sentinel says that
Minnesota voters have abolished
party lines, and will hereafter vote
for men who vote for the interests of
the people. Won't the Sentinel please
state when the democrats of the state
abolished party lines? The republic
cans voted for Johnson drawn by his
pers onality, but Billy Hamm and the
interests control that party just the
same as they have in the past

Scott Might Disarrange the Slate.
Hugh Scott, auditor of Hennepin
county for ten consecutive years, is
being urged by his friends to 20 after
the republican nomination for state
auditor next year. We can see where
so popular a man as Mr.. Scott would
put a crimp into the designs of the
Hennepin senatorial combine, as he
would be quite apt to control the
delegation from the big county to the
state convention, and that is hardly
in line with the slate mapped out

Minnesota's Greatest Need
Minnesota needs good roads more
than mangifcent capitol approaches,
and impracticable waterways which
will be frozen up at least six months
in the year. We agree with the
Princeton Union when it says that the
question of good roads is the para
mount issue in Minnesota today, and
the next legislature should submit to
the voters of this state an amend
ment to the constitution that would
make a one mill tax levy for the road
and bridge fund INSTITUTIONAL
