How About Thorpe Himselfc
Senator Thorpe's bill ''to make A.
D. Stephens GOVERNOR was only a
joke, and the biggest kind of a joke
on the fellows who took it serious and
solemn.-Willmar Journal.
No Respecter of Theories.
Dress in a family, says the econo-
mist, should average from Is to 20
per cent of the income. This may do
for theory, but the practical man is
confronted by condition called mil
linery that is no respecter of theories.
Duluth Herald.
Would Make q Good Auditor
Hon. j. F. Jacobson is mentioned
as a candidate for state auditor. Mr..
jacobson would be good man for
the position, and the voters would
show some appreciation of his worth
by electing him to this important state
ice.-Evansville Enterprise.

macadam road from Minneapolis to
New Brighton at a cost of $1,000, 900.

Hard on the Groom.
The poor groom has had rs cents
added to his troubles right on the
beginning of his matrimonial voyage.
A bill has been passed relieving a
clergyman from paying the recording
tee and adds the amount to the cost of

can.
No Law Too Drastic for Drug Store PIGS.
Two new laws passed by the North
Dakota legislature will make the sale
of liquors more difficult in our neigh
boring state. One law provides that
after July l, no liquor advertisements
can be published in North Dakota
newspaper. The other law provides
for the inspection of each brand of
liquor shipped into the state. This
will hit the drug store blind pigs
Moorhead Independent.
Prosperity Will Reign Supreme.
Now that the tonnage tax bill has
been vetoed the iron range country
will vibrate with the wheels of in
dustry in the mines, on the railroads
and at the great iron ore shipping
ports of Two Harbors and Duluth,
and the great steel plant in the Zenith
City will no doubt soon be built and
stand as a monument typical of the
gigantic iron ore interests of the Lake
Superior region. The wave of pros
perity and sunshine of contentment
and hope will reflect upon every home
and freside in the range cities.-Two
Harbors Iron Port.
i. So.
Should Receive Higher Salaries.
There is no profession or occupa-
tion so underpaid as that of school
teachers. And there is no profession
or occupation that ought to be better
paid. The average cook or house.
maid gets larger compensation than
the average woman school teacher,
considering that they are provided
with bed and board. And this should
not be. The teachers are worth far
more to the community than they are
receiving. They not only instruct the
young along educational lines, but
assist them in laying the foundation
upon which can be constructed useful
citizenship.-Mankato Free Press.
Mitchell Successful Leader.
Such men as John Mitchell are the
very best kind of leaders for the
by them is seen in the affectionate
regard the miners have for the man
who so wisely led them during the
great strike seven years go, and who
so constantly gives them good coun-
sci. AS an instance in which he truly
said that, eff the shorter day has given
the miners more time for drink and
depravity, it is curse; but if it has
given them more time for their fam
lilies and for books, it is a Godsend. :"
Such words coming from him have
great weight with the men, and it is
cheering to know that to the great
mass of them the shorter day is a
benefit. -Frazee Free Press.
