He's Probably Worrying
If Governor Johnson is really after
the senatorship Mr.. Clapp is entitled
to worry, for Minnesota has got into
the habit of giving Johnson whatever
he asks for.-Washington Post.
Will Have Something to Say.
Minnesota politicians in Washing
ton are busy picking gubernatorial

The Same Young.

The Remedy Worse than the Disease
Too many DRINKS on the streets
these days for temperance town.
The officials put the lid on Sunday
night.-Akeley Herald Tribune.

Taxation Without Representation.
The southern Minnesota representa-
tives squirm when they read the dis
crepancy in representation don't
sound good to them to hear the COM
parison. It's a case of taxation
without representation in northern
Minnesota; and every paper in this
section should take up the matter and
discuss it until the next legislature
meets. There is enough to make
good reading for some time.-Brain-
erd Dispatch. Il

had taken a seat in the parlor he
began to make friends with the little
girl standing by her mother by saying,
s'My, my, what pretty stockings you
have" The reverend quit playing
with the buzz saw when the little one
replied, "They are pretty, Mister,
but you ought to see mamma IS. -

McCrea a Capable Man.
The appointment of Editor McCrea
of Alexandria as the Sixth district
supervisor of the federal census to
be taken next year is most salts

Sixth district square and honest
count and that is what is wanted.

Open Season for Road Destruction.
The open season for the destruction
of good country roads is approach
ing. Arm the average farmer, who
has few dollars of road tax to work
out, with a pillow, a generous quantity
of sod and roots, few rocks, and a
few neighbors to help him out, and
he can put a passable road out of
commission for two to three months.
He'll may be paved with good inten-
tions, but the roads that the farmers
have repaired" have been an effec-
tive method of helping Satan popu-
late his warm domain.-St. Cloud

Much Better Than Blind Pigs.
Well regulated saloons, with the
law enforced, minors kept out,
habitual drunkards not allowed in
the same and no treating-making
