Pro tty Good Balance Wheel.

prohibition, they do believe in
moderation. That is a pretty good
balance wheel in all lines of business.

Platforms be Hanged.
1t is indeed touching to hear
southern democrats pleading for slices
of the robber tariff so noisily con-
demned by their national and state
platforms. Blue Earth Post.

And Some Go Fishing.
The fact that religious people attend
Sunday ball games was amply
demonstrated in this city the first day
of the week, when the cyclone cloud
veered around the ball grounds. A
spectator reports that be heard more
praying in fifteen minutes from the
crowd in attendance than he had heard
before in years, and he is quite a
regular attendant at church. st.

As Knutson Sees It,
lltis by far too early to size up the
gubernatorial situation in this state
in so far as it pertains to the republi-
can party. One thing is certain,
though, and that is that few %.
calibres, who seriously regard them.
selves as suitable timber, must learn
to see themselves as others see them.
Then these gentlemen will take four
steps to the rear and all will be
serene. Foley Independent.
A Formidable Candidate.
Andy Stephens of Crookston, it is
now reported, has the Washington
bunch and would not be averse to
succeeding United States Senator
Clapp. Andy, while representing his
district as state senator, never wanted
for hackers in either branch of the
legislature, and, his friends declare
that he would be formidable candi-
date if he would permit the use of his

John Would Make Good Editor.
Some of the wiseacres of the state
who have laid Robt. c.. Dunn upon
the shelf, are making frantic noises
over little innocent visit which Mr..
Dunn paid Gov. johnson last week.
During this private interview these
gentlemen are credited with talking
politics, while as matter of fact it is
much more probable that Mr.. Dunn
called at the capitol for the express
purpose of offering MIR. johnson the
position of associate editor of the
Princeton Union after 1910, a la

Would Do Well to Talk Adams.
The Fergus Falls Journal, edited
by Representative Elmer E. Adams,
says the two candidates for lieutenant
governor, DR.. Gates of Kenyon and
W. A. Nolan of Grand Meadow, are
so evenly matched in strength that a
third may slip in and beat them both
to it. If that is possible we believe
Elmer E.. Adams is the man for the
job. In fact with a good running
mate Elmer would be a power for
restoring control to the republicans at
the next election. The press gang
would do we'll to talk Adams for
almost any position on the ticket

Anxious for Republican HARMONY.
It beats all how anxious some OF
our exchanges are to get back to a
united republican party again. Their
pleas for harmony are really heart
rending. They not only want har.
mony but they are entirely willing to
impose the conditions thereof. When
wrong has been perpetrated in poll.

to right the wrong. It is the same in
