The Bricelyn Sentinel says: "We
have in this prosperous land of ours
a band of so-called reformers who
make it their special duty to chas-
tise and belittle men who have made
a success of their vocations. These
~'reformers,' aided by ambitious pol
iticians, have caused our less fortu-
nate and less ambitious people to
o upon successful men with sus-
picion and to ~misconstrue their mo-
tives. The only ones who escape
the denunciations Of these -guardi-
ans of peoples rights are those
who worship at their shrine"

FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE.

In, order to get away from bossism
and the party machine, the national
progressives in their state conven-
tion named a committee and gave it
power to name candidates for all
congressional, state and legislative
offices where the nominations made
by the people do not happen to suit
its members, says The Duluth News
Tribune.
Popular primaries is a fundamental
tenet of the new party, and yet after
the people have spoken, it delegates
thirty-four men, being two-thirds of
fifty, to pass judgment upon what the
people have done. The power of this

The Austin Herald puts in a kind
word for the corrupt practices act.
''The best part of the corrupt prac-
tees act is the part relating to the
newspapers" says The Herald. We
needed that law and it is not a bit
too strong, and no honest, legitimate
newspapers will object. 1t cuts deep
into the grafters and they'll squeal
because it hurts. We have not seen
a feature of the bill, relating to the
press, that we would have changed
in a single particular. The law will
be a direct benefit to clean newspa-
pers."

the party from which he sought the
nomination for the presidency less
