No, Nobody Ever Cared.
A third party! Ahem! Was ever
anybody licked who wasn't going to
90 something dreadfully desperate to
those who licked him-later on? Did
anybody ever care?-Red Wing Eagle.

Whittier Are We Drifting?
ASK the average youth to name
ten United States senators and he is
stumped. Ask him to name ten Of
the greatest ball players in the bust
ness and the answer will come as
rapidly as the volley from a rapid
hre gun. Whittier are we drifting?

Created for Personal Reasons.
1t has now been definitely ascer-
tanned that the Country Life COM
created by Roosevelt has
done very little to improve rural
conditions. 1t has, however, kept a
number Of republicans at nice easy
JOB at nice fat salary for a long
term Of years. ST. Cloud Times.

Don't Overlook 1t.
In voting on the various amend
ments that will be submitted to the
people next fall, we should not over
look the proposed tax of one mill for
road purposes. 1t is a proposition
that should appeal to every citizen
in the state, whether he lives in the
city or in the country. Good roads
mean prosperity; without them,
development of the country is impos-
sible. Peter Free Press.

Difficult to Enforce.
Minnesota now has stringent COR
rupt practices act. The great trouble
with corrupt practices acts are that
they are never enforced. Much of
the corruption. which has arisen in
politics could have been eliminated
had the provisions of corrupt prac-
tices acts been enforced. AS a rule
they have been looked upon by poll
ticians as a joke and treated as such.
Albert Lea Daily Tribune.
Gordon's Monumental Gall.
Men who have had their chance
should, under present political condi-
tions from a republican standpoint
in Minnesota, not now jump in and
jeopardize the success of the party
this fall. If they want to continue
the present regime in state affairs
they are consistent, but if they do
not they should 'sget out of the way
and give man chance to run that
can run. Sam Y. Gordon's Browns
Valley Tribune.
What Cares He for Peoples Rights.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a beaten man. |
His defeat is no surprise to the ma
ton. He tried to do what few other
men would dare attempt. He re-
ceived the same fate that Grant, a |
greater but less ambitious man than
he, received. He has reduced him
self to a lesser factor in the nations |
welfare than he would be had he re-
the arena to fight for the
peoples rights instead of for third
term nomination.-Irish Standard.
Reapportionment kidnapped by Knapp.
Reapportionment at the extra ses-
sion was betrayed in the house of it's
friends and St. Louis county is to
thank for it. Duluth has never been
the big protecting brother of
northern Minnesota, but the kind of
a big brother that grabs the apples
from the smaller children. That's
why there was no fair attempt to
pass a reapportionment bill at the
extra session-and that's a fact. If
the reapportionment bill had been
presented at the proper time it
would have passed the house and if |
to the senate it might
have passed there also. It. was not
at the proper time because
St. Louis county had it pigeonho]ed.
