men we cannot, say but it is hoped
that the president emeritus of the
state university will have the good
Judgment not to take the hook but
continue to enjoy the peace, quiet,
contentment and love with which q
busy and fruitful life has rewarded
him.-Fergus Falls Journal.

Seven Senators Bill lndefensible.
1t is nota BILE fact that, from any
angle you approach it, the "seven
senator" bill looms up as a piece of
rank injustice. That is only natural,
since it was conceived in a spirit of
pure selfshness by individual sena-
tors who wanted an excuse for
hanging to their jobs two years more. |

Fire Away, Colonel.
Any person who reads Colonel
Neff's editorials in his paper, the
Lake Crystal Union, would naturally |
believe that the colonel is a regular
man-eater and a cross, grabbed old |
individual. Nothing of the kind. |
The colonel is one of those big-hearted
fellows for whom nothing is too good. |
He occasionally takes a crack at US,
but we always enjoy the old sinners
rakings. You may fire any time you
are ready, Neff.-Winnebago Enter

Defeat Preferable to Dishonor.
Party defeat is not to be dreaded as
much as party dishonor. It would be
much better for the republican party
to be defeated next year on a platform
of sound principles than to win on a
platform catering to every whim of
hair-brained, self-styled reformers.
Defeat with honor is more to be de-
sired than victory with dishonor. If |
the country has to be ruled to satisfy
the vagaries of Missionaries, let that
class of people have the credit of it,

Hard to Please Demasogues.
Two years ago Gov. Hughes of New
York was the idol of the so-called
progressives. They did not want him
appointed to the supreme bench, for
they wanted him for president. Now,
because he does not ignore the law
and render his decision according to
the views Of the rabble, they want the
privilege Of using the recall on him.
Those fellows can progress back
wards, forwards, sideways, or any
other old way, without any apparent
sense or reason.-Slayton Gazette.
Has the Brains and Ability
Many of the newspaper bows are
saying complimentary things of AL
yah Eastman, editor of the st. Cloud
Journal-Press, who is receiving con-
siderable mention in the press as an
available candidate for the republican
nomination for ngressman-at-large
Alvah is good congressional timber,
and possesses the brains and the
ability to creditab]y represent the
great state of Minnesota in the ma
tional house of representatives. He's
a No. man for the job all right, and
we hope that he'll get by the slate
makers and land the nomina tion.-

Digging His own Grave.
United States Senator Moses E.
Clapp is off his political reservation.
He has wandered from the ancient
land of the Sioux and the Chippewas
down into Ohio, where he is melting
the Taft republicans to desert their
leader and join the forces of the bel
ligerent progressive republicans.
Last Saturday Moses proclaimed
himself woman suffragist. He is a
spiritualist, a christian scientist, re-
publican progressist and a woman
suffragist. We fear be is getting too
many irons in the fire and that some
Of them will suffer as a consequence.
II he devotes much time to expounding
the various isms be processes he must
neglect his official duties. Moses, be-
ware Of the day when the recall be-
comes law.-Faribault Pilot.
Let's Adopt the Amendment First
r. G. Dunn is entirely right when
he protests against too far-reaching
attempts in building of roads under
the Ewell act on the ground that the
property assessment feature of this
law is likely to arouse vigorous OPP
position to it by many of those taxed,
which opposition is likely to express
itself against the adoption of the one
mill road tax amendment in the next
