Governor Eberhart has been offered
a position as special legislative COR
respondent for a Scandinavian paper
published in Chicago, says the Pioneer
Press. AS this would interfere with
the attendance of the governor at the
many functions throughout the country
at which he is called upon to be
present he very properly declined the
offer. The governor knows full we'll
that he can serve the state better by
delivering misunderstanding Min
nesota-than he can by sitting in the
press gallery scratching out stuff for
some foreign newspaper.

In consequence of the unrest created
in Great Britain by Champ Clark s
remarks in the reciprocity debate, the
Canadian parliament last Thursday
unanimously adopted a resolution de-
claring it's political loyalty to the
mother country. The newspaper
articles on the reciprocity situation
published in Great Britain we're so
distorted that the people arrived at
the conclusion that Canada was about
to ask Uncle Sam to take her into his
fold. The situation goes to show
what a lot of trouble one fool can stir
up.

1.-The suffragist movement, says a
daily, "has attained such prodigious
proportions in this country and
abroad that it has become a menace
to personal safety and steps should be
taken to put it down." This can be
easily accomplished by giving women
the right to vote. Not that many of
them would likely take advantage. Of
the power vested in them toiuse the
ballot-they would be satisfied in the
mere knowledge that they had
brought mans nose to the grindstone
