The Northwestern Land Pro-
ducts Show was a great thing
and it's exhibits a fine advertise
ment of the great Northwest.
Behind it all, however, is a fine
ly laid scheme to benefit the
cities at the expense of the
country towns. Special railroad
rates were offered, dates of all
tickets expiring December "a,
one day before Christmas. I'm
der the guise Of getting the peo-
pie to the cities to see the land
show, the st. Paul and Mime
apolis merchants lured them
down there to do their holiday
shopping. How long the mer-
chants of the small towns are
going to stand this sort of thing
is hard telling. It's about time
they put it up to the Twin City
jobbers.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1911-12-28

How any self-respecting ex-
ecutive of a state can lend him
self to an advertising scheme
like that promoted by "Looie"
Hill in that swing around the
circle, is beyond comprehension.
'Looie" isn't putting up the
price of a special train for moth
ing; he'll demand his tribute
later, and each and every gov
ernor and near-governor who
travelled on that train will pay
the pound of flesh, with interest.
Meantime, the ''plain people"
may have word to say who
shall rule them in the future.
The handwriting on the wall is
growing palmer every day.

While Ed Smiths appoint
ment of Judge Andrew Holt of
Minneapolis to the state su-

made for political purposes pure
and simple, yet it advances to
the states highest tribunal a
very worthy man. Andrew Holt
graduated from the University of
Minnesota in 1880, studied law
and not long after took a seat on
the municipal court bench in Min
neapolis where he served with
credit for some years, only to be
promoted to the district bench of
Hennepin county, and there per-
formed his duties we'll. Judge
Holt is an honest man of unim-
peachable character and fitted to
adorn the supreme bench of
