There is serious danger of railroad trans
portation being again tied up by strike of the
fremen and enginemen. A vote of the union
men employed on the railroads of the West,
Northwest and Southwest has been taken, and
by an overwhelming majority the offer of the
railroad companies has been rejected, and the
men have voted to strike unless their demands
are acceded to- If the strike comes, of course
the public will be the principal sufferers.

Apparently the Minnesota Mascot has
reached the conclusion that satisfactory can
didate for the Republican nomination for COVER
nor has yet to be discovered. It says:
"The people are just now looking for
for governor who does not care rap for any
interest and who is willing to be the peoples
governor, and who is willing to take his
chances on being elected on that platform or
else stay at home. Some of the fellows now in
the field may develop into such candidates, but
most of those 50 far mentioned have to change
some before they come up to that standard"

A new force was injected into the cam
paigns on the license question in neighboring
towns this spring. Petitions were circulated
among the neighboring farmers, and a most
surprising sentiment shown in favor of keep
ing the village dry About 100 prominent far
mers around Hancock petitioned the voters of
that village in favor of dry town, and large
petitions were also submitted to the voters of
Cyrus, Starbuck and Glenwood. Evidently the
brewers who have said that all but three Coun-
ties of the state would go dry under county OPP
ton, know what to expect from the country
vote.

It is charged that the democratic leaders ,
as usual do not intend to be tangled up with
any issues in the next state campaign They
will let the republican factions to the fighting
over the issues, basing their hope for success
on the probability that the losing faction will
Join them in order to be revenged. If the Re
gublcans allow themselves to be worked in
that manner again they ought to be beaten.
Milan Standard.
The party was defeated in the past because
of personal ambitions, and the party platform
was not strong enough to unite the discordant
elements to fight for principle. If the party
be defeated this year because of division over
county option, it will be an honorable defeat.
In reading the twenty-five year ago" column
of the Anoza Union, we noticed the standing of
the "a" grade class quarter of a century ago.
The boy who was at the foot of the list, both in
scholarship standings and department, is to-
day one of the prominent men of the state, and
who has gained greater success than any men
Der of the class. Just we began to moralize
on this fact, we glanced over the standings of
Ehe "B" class and found that the boy who stood
at the head of that class in scholarship and
high up in department has also won fame and
success, and is now one of the brilliant mem
bers of the state university faculty, excelling
any member of his class And there you have
it, It is the boy that makes the man-and the
school test is not the real test of life. Many
boy who has not made good in school, when
confronted by the hard knocks OF lite, has
buckled down to business, and won out. Other
boys who have appreciated the advantages OF
doing good work in school, have found it a great
help in after life. So there is encouragement
to both the hard working student and the in
different scholar-and there is a chance for each
to do his bestin the battle of life.-St Cloud
