A "GET TOGETHER" APPEAL

The Bemidii Pioneer, in a re-
cent issue, appeals to Republican
papers of the state to: BE
good, for once, boys; and let's
see if we cannot elect a Republi-
can governor next fall'. 1t as
serts that all the Republican
papers in the state, with two
or three exceptions" are giving
Governor Eberhart the support
he is entitled to, and names two
of the objecting papers, one of
which is printed in Mile Laos
county and the other in Stearns
county.
The Pioneers appeal contains
much good, sound sense. If the
petty bosses will only make an
effort to be as decent as they
can, and if those who are seeking
a "vindication" will be satisfied
to keep what they've already re-
ceived, the party can and will
elect a governor. AS for Mr..
Eberhart, he has done well and
the people are pretty well salts
fed with him. One of the men
who has been prominently men
toned as a gubernatorial candi-
date remarked to the publisher
of The Herald a few days ago
that he was not in the field, as
Eberhart was making a good re-
cord and was the logical candi-
date. That sounds like horse
sense. If the fellows who al
ways butt in" keep up their
racket the party dissension will
be greater than ever and the
Democrats will elect the next
governor.

No man is so busy that he hasn't

It's the chronic kicker who always
wants something to boot.
The truth is more apt to suffer from
lack of circulation than lie.
The pinnacle of fame is no place for

Even the man who likes to be at the

After all. it is better to be damned
with faint praise than to be damned
with none.
When it comes to the sticking point,
some people have a porous plaster
beaten to frazzle.
The fellow who stays up all night
isn't the one who wakes up and finds
himself famous.

There are people who believe every

When a girl gets married she is apt
to regret that the church organ isn't

The amount of real knowledge
