Not Red Cent.
An editor at Cass Lake called a
lawyer "shysyter" and "pettifog.
ger" and was assessed $4,000 by the
district court and upheld in the su.
preme court. Wonder how much the
editor would have secured in damages
if he had been the party aggrieved?-

Political Plot?
If some of the people who are
yelling themselves hoarse about Supt.
Whittier of the Red Wing training
school had charge of the incorrigibles
that Whittier has to manage they
would consider spanking very tame
punishment. All this furore about
the Red Wing man seems to be part OF
a political lot.-Perham Enterprise.

We Gods, What a Record
Loganport, Indiana, has a woman
twenty nine years old, who has been
married six times, and has secured
five divorces, and is out after the
sixth. She says she is going to keep
trying matrimony until she finds the
ideal husband. Number seven will be

A man has been sentenced in Fergus
Falls to pay fine of $50 or to spend
sixty days in jail on charge of hav-
ing been Intoxicated on railwa y
train. The case is one of the first to
be brought under law enacted at the
last session of the legislature. That
law is one of the few good ones placed
upon the books last winter, and it is
to be hoped the Fergus Falls ruling
is an Indication that it is not to be
permitted to become a dead letter.

Railroads Will Get the Worst of 1t.
The restoration of passenger rates
to three cents per mile will mean a lot
of things to the railroads besides
added receipts. It Will mean, first OF
all, falling off in travel. 1t will
next mean the arousing of hostile
public sentiment, increased taxation
of railroad property by means of
larger gross earnings taxes or other
wise; also the more general construc-
ton of electric lines to supersede the
steam railroads wherever possible

The Other Fellows Were Bad.
The strangest part of the proceed
ings since the late Iamented legisla-
tive session is that each and every
paper in the state is full of praise for
the member representing his district.
Taking the body as whole. according
to the individual write-ups, the last
legislature must have been a holy
bunch and did just precisely what was
right. Why so much kicking over the
legislature as whole when each and
every one of the body singly was such
a saint is hard to digest Ely Miner.
