generally recognized as the aablest
democratic newspaper in the first con-
gressional district. Many Of the
leading republican papers Of southern
Minnesota are loudly clamoring for
Mr.. Eberhart: For reasons best
known to themselves the democratic
editors of that section are ably sec
Eonding the efforts of their republican
brethren. It is notorious fact, that
the brewers, the railroads, the steel
trust, the twin city rapid transit COM
pany, Oar Reese, Boss Ed. Smith and
the entire federal machine want Mr..
Eberhart nominated. The sentiment
seems to be unanimous John Lind
will think twice and then some before
tackling an opponent with such power
full backing.

THE DEMOCRATS W4NT HIM.

Why all this knocking by good re-
publican papers against Gov. Eber-
hart? He is accused of being the can
didate of the steel trust, the brewing
interests, railroads and other sinister
powers and of having been already
slated by the ''gang" as the nominee
for governor. This is pretty severe
on our amiable governor and it may
be founded somewhat on jealousy or
unfair prejudice, and in any case it is
not pleasant to hear. Gov. Eberhart
is the logical republican candidate
and, in line with the party's past rec
ord and policy, is-entitled to a unan-
imous nomination.-Albert Lea Stan
dard. -

NO BLUFFING HERE.

Every newspaper you pick up is
shouting for good roads; every poll
tician you meet tells you it is the sal
walton of the country; every prospec-
tive Office seeker before he is ques-
toned vouchsafes the information that
he favors any legislation that will
give the farmer good roads on which
to haul his grain aud other produce
to market. Every farmer and business
man at one time or another have gone
on record as favoring these measures,
and they pay the bulk of the taxes.
Now why don't we get good roads or
get some means to get good roads
with-or is everybody blufing?-
Brainerd Dispatch. .f.
No bluffing here. The U nj o has
pointed out the only practical way oil
getting good roads-by providing for
a general l-mill state road tax. Talk
will not build good or even passable
roads. Tt requires money to construct
roads. How can the money be oD
tanned save by taxation? What faire,
method than that proposed by thu
Union? Why should not the large
cities where wealth is concentrated
assist in getting good roads in tn,
country? Why should not the United
States Steel corporation be permitted
to contribute S250,OO0 annually to al,
in the up-building of the state from
which it is extracting so much wealth
: Why delay the good work for tw,
years?

State Auditor Iverson's suggestion
that the state should pay its proper
tionate share of the cost of construct
ing roads through lands owned, or
partly owned, by the state needs
calculation. A projected road might
not touch a single forty of state land
yet the construction of that road
might be of benefit to thousands of
acres of land owned by the state and
add to the selling price of the same.
Does Mr.. VERSIONS plan contemplate
that the state lands benefited should
bear proportionate share Of the cost
of road-construction, and if so by
whom and how is the acreage benefited
and the extent of the benefits conferred
to be determined, and under whose
supervision is the state aid to be ex-
pended? We doubt the practicability
of the plan. In constructing a ditch

lands will be benefited, and to pro.
