The corrupt practices act has cost
an official his job. Up in Mahnomen
county, a candidate who was elected
county treasurer at the late election,
has been barred from Office, because

Why should the freight rates on
hard coal be three times as much as
the freight rates on soft coal Mid
way News.
Don't know, and why should it. cost
less to ship carload of any kind of
coal from Duluth to ST. Paul, $50
miles, than to ship a carload of the
same coal 15O miles from Duluth to
some country town? There is a vast
amount of discrimination in the mat

The annual report of the auditor of
Minnesota, Hon. Samuel G. Iverson,
shows that it takes twice as much
money to run the state as it did ten
years ago. It's high-priced bunch

Singularly enough, President Vim
cent does not appear to believe that
the success of the State university de-
ponds upon the number and dimen-

campus. This must be shock to the

That excellent and widely read
newspaper, the Princeton Uni0k has
just entered on its thirty seventh
year with Bob Dunn, it's founder, still

AS outlined Governor Eberhart's
message forecasts much change and
some reforms Talk is cheap, how,
ever. What does the governor, be-
sides suggesting them, propose to do
to bring his reforms about? 1t might
help if it became known that he had
no sympathy with a reactionary and
corporation-ruled senatorial combine.

The Christmas number of the Cour-
ant was one of the most interesting
periodicals to reach the Herald's ex-
change table. The club women of

One senator from each county or
no reapportionment ought to be the
