What has the congress of
governors" accomplished that is sot
the least practical benefit to the
country at large or to their respective
states? They have talked and talked,
drank champagne, smoked Havana
cigars, played poker, sstrutted around
in their glad clothes and have had
the correspondents write columns OF
slush about them for home con-
sumption. That is about all the
governors have accomplished at The
national capital. But the governors
feelings were injured at the recent
meet in Washington; due difference
was not shown them; President Taft
and his cabinet had troubles Of their
own to bother with: congress did not
adjourn in honor of their coming,
therefore the governors will in future
hold their dress parade shows and
display their asininity. at, some burg

One of the principal matters dis
cussed at the state dairymen's con.
vention at Hutchinson last week was
the Grant law, which protects butter
from the unfair competition of oleo-
margarine and which the makers OF
the latter product are putting forth a
strenuous effort to have repealed.
Andrew French, state dairy and food
commissioner, said that the oleomar-
garine question is entirely pure food
issue and that the purpose in coloring
the butter substitute is to defraud
somebody. If congress has the right,
he said, to prohibit the colorlng OF
oleomargarine it surely should be
done for the protection of the public.
In this Mr.. French voices the public
sentiment. No coloring should be
permitted in oleo. It misleads the
purchaser and is an injustice to the
dairyman. AZ.

Governor Eberhart's demagogical
resolution rejecting on the federal
judiciary, which he offered at the
congress of governors in. Washington
last week and which was, very proper
ly, ignored by the committee on
resolutions, has not elected any
favorable comment at home or abroad.
The Duluth News7Tribune voices
popular sentiment when it says: ~
"Governor Eberhart was doubtless
sincere, but Minnesota is not oneS OF
the Carolinas, nor Alabama, nor
Georgia. It has never made a scare
crow of Capitalization, nor fetish OF
states rights. It does not fear to
trust it's rights or prerogatives to the
federal courts, and has no dread OF
congressional tyranny. His resolu-
ton, therefore, will find little sympathy
in the governors own state, and it
deserves less"

PRACTICAL CONSERVATION.

What Minnesota needs in conserva-

roads; second, better roads; and third,
best roads. -. st. Louis county
is ready to pay $3.50, 200 into the state
fund to be expended in other counties
which have less taxable wealth.
This is practical conservation.
What are the other two great com
mercial centers, Hennepin and
Ramsey, ready to do to promote such
a program or one equally for the
benefit of the state as a whole and of
every citizen in it?-Duluth News
Tribune.
This is conservation that conserves
providing the means for securing
better roads. Cheap talk will not
build roads: it requires money. The
only practical method OF providing
funds is by taxation. What more
fair, what more equitable than a
general one mill state tax based upon
the valuation? St. Louis county
comes nobly to the, front and places
itself on record as in favor of such a
tax and is ready and willing to pay

In an interview in St. Paul paper

forcibly on the government policy

In severe terms the Preston Times
denounces the custom of opening
caskets at church funerals as bar
barrie, and goes on to say: SIN nine
tenths of the cases it's merely a
pandering to a ghoulish curiosity.
People who never, spoke to the
deceased in life, parade around the
church, cape at the form Of our loved
one, then go out of the presence of
death, not to talk of the good deeds
done in life, but to criticise the
appearance of the poor clay that
death has left for once at their
mercy" The Times is right. "View-
ing the remains" in public is a
heathenish custom that should be

One of the serious questions con-
fronting the republican party of Min
nesota is whether Gov. Eberhart
should be nominated BY general con-
sent and without opposition, or
whether he should be denied the nomi-
nation, and man selected who can
more successfully unite the party.
Joel P. Heatwole has given some
strong reasons why the governor
ought not to be nominated. These
objections should be met now and
answered convincingly by Gov.
Eberhart's friends-or else he should
be put out of the running. It is not
enough to say that Joel is a knocker.
1t his contentious are false-demolish
them. # they are not answered now
and Gov. Eberhart is the standard
bearer of the republican party these
statements made by Mr.. Heatwole will
have to be met during the campaign,
as they will be the most deadly of
democratic ammunition. The Jour-
nal-Press will give Gov. Eberhart
and everybody else a square deal,
but it would like a republican candi-
date this trip who can win.-St.

A Fierce Indictment

Hon. Joel P. Heatwole, in his
Mortified News, one of the ablest
and most influential republican news
papers in the state, presents in
column editorial five strong and
forcible reasons why Gov. Eberhart
should not be nominated. He alleges
that the governor is the candidate of
the interests" and that his nomi-
nation has been planned by the rail-
roads, the steel trust and the brewery
and liquor interests. He declares
that the nomination must not be
forced upon the party, and says in
effect that the News cannot support
him if nominated. The editorial
broadside has created d sensation in
the rank and file of the republican
party.
In the meanwhile we have looked in
vain, in the few newspapers favoring
Gov. Eberhart's nomination, for any
claim that he is SO exceptionally we'll
equipped for the high Office that he
should b. selected in preference to
many able and we'll qualified men of
high standing in our state, and for
any other intelligent reason that
might be advanced by his friends why
he should be nominated further than
that he is now holding the Office "by
an act of Providence!"
It has probably surprised many of
the old and battle-scarred politicians
and the public as well-to learn that
Providence is suspected of tinkering
with politics. -Brainerd Tribune.
