| VIII be Roar.
Ii all the railroads in the state in
crease passenger rates to the old three
cent basis, we will hear a mighty
roar from the travelling public. A
raise OF fifty per cent is pretty big,
but the public will likely have to
stand it or keep off the cars.-Belle

| Incendiarism win Run Rife.
Sam Fullerton, after futile attempts
to return to the game and fish CON-
mission, has been found a place by
Governor Eberhart as a deputy fire
marshal. If Fullerton protects
property as poorly as he did the game
and fish of this state incendiarism will
run rife.-Labor World.
| Selfishness is Nonpart1san.
Naturally all the democratic ex-
changes lay the failure of the re-
apportionment measure to the repub-
licans. Every man who voted against
this bill is a traitor to his party, be
he republican or democrat, and it will
be up to the people to see that no more
chances are offered them to repeat the
trick Ely Miner.
Possesses a Rugged Constitution.
Yes, the dandelion is healthy. It
is one of the healthiest of plants. We
have known a dandelion to thrive
luxuriously although dosed with
kerosene, soapsuds, whitewash and
concentrated lye, in addition to bein e
chopped off at the root sixteen times
during the summer. The dandelion
has constitution that may be called
rugged.-Coleraine Optic.
Pesslmistic Knockers.
And now the Bemidji Pioneer holds
the recent legislature responsible for
the forest fires that menace northern
Minnesota, claiming that the new
forestry code was enacted too late in
the session. If later in the summer
the country is flooded by rains the leg
islature will no doubt be blamed for
not appropriating a sufficient sum TO r
state drainage.-Roseau Region.

The King of Muckrakers
One Lynn Haines is receiving some
hard knocks from a number of our
contemporaries and, Judging by few
of his undertaking letters which have
come to our notice, he deserves all he
gets and more. AS a. ud-slinger
Lynn has passed into the front rank,
but his idiotic drivel will not appeal
to men of sense and fairness. Preston

Notwithstanding
The good roads bill, the work done
by the st. Louis county legislators,
are the few shining exceptions which
only serve to accentuate the dismal
failure of the rest of the 1911 legisla-
tive record. Bob Dunn to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. But then Bob
is somewhat contrary, notwithstand-
ing he's a pretty good sort of Dunn.

Well Said.
Bright flowers for the mothers that
are living. And don't wait for
Mothers day to present them to her.
She merits all the love and tenderness
and helpfulness you can give her-and
no matter how much you do for her
you will ever be in her debt. The
world is full of good mothers-and of
such are the kingdom of heaven, right
here on earth.-St. Cloud Journal

Speaks Good Word for Legislature.
The editor of this paper is becom-
ing to be looked upon as sort of
freak by some of the brethren of the
press because he does not chase off
after the popular fads of the day the
same as the rest of them do. BE
hasn't joined in the hue and cry
against the last legislature to the ex-
tent that all the other nanars did Ha
found some good in the legislature
and attributed much of what was bad
to the condition the people are under.
He hasn't nearly yelled his head off
for tariff revision downward and
nearly finished the job "hollering"
against revision downward when that
thing was proposed under the guise
of reciprocity. In fact he hash It been
echoing the sentiments of the subsi-
died city consolidated press. In this
