Has No Love for Smith.

OF the senate does not bear that name

Alter all the playing with the re-

lieutenant governor, Hon. E. E. Smith
OF Hennepin, keep the nomination.

Up to Northern Minnesota
Now, the resolutions having been,
adopted and the course charted to the
ultimate goal, it's up to the citizens of
northern Minnesota to see to it that
the Crookston meeting does not 90
down in history as a very interesting
conservation congress- Her-

Sufficient Cause for Expulsion.
Republicans are not alone in being
read out of their party for indepen-
dent convictions; the St. Cloud Times
thinks Bryan is no longer a demo-
crat because he believes in prohibi-
ton. Of course, that would elimi-
nate anybody from the democratic.

Col. Brown for Manager.
The pendulum is beginning to swing
towards Col. A. D. Brown again for
chairman of the republican state CEN
trail committee. The Journal has
been consistent advocate of Col.
Browns leadership and with
Governor Eberhart the nominee, his
is the only name that ought to be con-
sidered for the position of chairman.

Northern Minnesota's Wealth.
Northern Minnesota long has prided
itself on it's wealth, without even
realizing the existence of it's greatest
source of wealth-the soil. The
mines will be exhausted and the
forests will disappear, but the soil
will remain, and will continue to yield
wealth, primary wealth that builds up
states and communities. long after the
mines and lumber camps have passed
into history.
"The mines will be exhausted, "said
Archbishop Ireland at Crookston,
"but the soil never will be exhausted
if it is properly used.''
The mines and the forests are profit
ing a few for a little while; the farms
that are taking their places will profit
everybody for all time to come

Let Us Forget.
The Sons Of Veterans at St. Paul
have sent a petition to Washington
protesting against the Lee statue in
the national capitol. This would
seem to be an ill-advised and un-
generous movement. In the first
place the sovereign state of Virginia
has the right to choose it's represen-
tatives for the hall of fame. General
Robert E. Lee was a high type of
American citizenship. True, he was
a confederate general, but the
northern people are not disposed at
this distance from that unhappy
period to question the motive that,
moved the southern heart or to re-
kindle the flames of sectional strife.
Rather would we forget the wounds Of
war and do our part in securing
closer bonds of sympathy and union

No Blame Attaches to WEIGH.
No doubt the reason why so many
immigrants pass through Minnesota,
leaving scarcely pleasant smile, is
because the great state of Minnesota
refuses to advertise so that the people
who are DESTROYS of securing new
homes may see or hear of it. Our
Canadian brothers and sisters are
alive to the situation and every day
are sending out literature or enter
tanning their visitors. And does that
count? We should say yes. The i'm
migration commission of Minnesota is
seriously handicapped inasmuch as it
only has about enough funds to
employ limited force of clerks and
pay little postage. The agent is
George WEIGH, said to be an excellent
representative, but he hasn't the price
to show up the attractions of Mime
sofa. Wouldn't this be a good SUBJ
ject for the coming legislature to take
hold of in blood earnest?- Saltwater
