Play Ball!
A rank insurgent is just as detri-
mental to progress as a rank stand
patter. A little less bleacher play
and more attention to the home plate
is what the people want.-Walker

Much Ado About Nothing.
We notice that little paper up
state has complained several times
that it's best editorials are extern
sivley copied without the proper
credit. But we are served worse than
that, for some of our best editorials
are never copied at all.-Prison Mir

Grave Will Be Kept Green.
Meanwhile the people of northern
Minnesota have planted forget-me-
nots and rue on the grave of the re-
apportionment bill which was so
brutally murdered by the cowardly
assassins of the legislature of 1911,
and these same people will see that
the grave is kept green.

Good Joke on Bouteu
Minister Boutell, formerly a con-
gresham from Chicago, went to Por-
tugal to get far, far away from the
initiative, referendum and recall, and
then the president transferred him to
Switzerland, where these children
were born and brought up. Maybe
this is Mr.. Taft's idea of a Joke

Knute Is for Nelson All the Time.
Senator Nelson has presented a
number of amendments to the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement, any one
of which, if adopted, would defeat the
agreement. The senator says they
are in the interest of the farmer-yes,
to enhance Farmer Nelson's chances
for securing the farmer vote for re-
election. Cloud Times.

All Right for Breakfast Food.
-@:25:rhs town of-Red Lake Fails in this
state is to have mill that will pro-
duce flour, feed and lumber. That
will be all right if the owners do not
mix too much sawdust in the feed and
flour. Up to certain percentage it
may be all right; beyond that the
food stuff loses much of it's nourish-

Feared Public Opinion.
The News thinks that no public
man is honest who isn't willing to
leave any public proposition to the
vote of the people. It is understood
that the friends of Senator Knute
Nelson have been exerting strong in
huence with Governor Eberhart to
have him veto the Keefe bill. The
governor would be very glad to have
vetoed the measure, but be still has a
wholesome fear of MIR. Public

Too Many Orators.
ALI kinds of theories are advanced
as to why farming is not more profit
able, and why the man who works
Tor wages only gets a bare living.
one reason not generally advanced
accounts for good deal of the
trouble on both sides. There are too
many grafters between the producer
and the final consumer. The farmer
raises IS cents worth of produce but
gets only IS cents for it because the
middlemen take the other 30 cents.
The laborer pays 81 for it, IS cents
more than it is worth, because the
same middlemen make him do it. The
farmer pays the go-between 30 cents
and the laborer pays him IS cents for
his trouble, a tribute of IS cents for
every dollar in goods handled. The
moral is to get the producer and con-
sumer to deal direct. Then the farm
er would get the IS cents that he
should have, and the consumer saves
the IS cents that he now pays to the
rake-otf chaps.-Litchfeld Indepen-
