Not Demagogic, But
Gov. johnson says the west should
throw off the shackles of the east.
OF course, that is not demagogic, but
doesn't it remind you a little bit of
something about "cross of gold and
a crown of thorns?n-St. Paul Dis

The Interests Forbid It.
The papers are mentioning Sam Y.
Gordon of Browns Valley for
lieutenant governor. Sam would be
a good man-mighty good-for the
Office, but probably too good to get it.
There are interests that object to too
much goodness. Press.

Flattery and Satire.
Gov. Johnson is today the most
available man IN the country for the
democratic nomination for president.

A Duluth woman who is interested
in the Chinese says they are a very

Favors One-Mill Road Tax.
The suggestion that one mill tax
for road purposes be levied is a most
sensible one and we hope to see Min
nesota soon enter upon sane epoch
of road construction. Millions Of
dollars have heretofore been
squandered in spelling passably good
roads. Let this fearful waste of
money and energy be stopped.-Foley

We Would ALI Like 'Hunch."
King Edward took j. P. Morgan
home with him to get ''square" few
weeks ago. Now it is reported that
Edward has made a cool million by
following Pierpont's advice investing
in the U. S. Steel. Co. stocks. If

What's in Great Name?
Frank Day is brought forth as one
of the incorporators in a new salve

Factor in Good Road Building.
We haven It an automobile and don It
expect to own one right away quick,
but just the same they are doing
wonders for the advancement of good
roads throughout the country, and

are benefit to everyone-even to the
man who has to walk.-Becker

every station by the masses who
begged to kiss his garments and
prayed that he might condescend to
accept the presidency Of these United
States four years hence. Things were
