Governor Eberhart is candidate for
reelection and Mr.. Iverson is his op-
ponent, with clear field, it will be a
pretty race with the chances about
even. If there should be three or
more candidates in the field the COVER

Some newspapers have criticized
President Wilson for sending the Min
nesota Swede, John Lind, on his deli
cate Grand to Mexico, because John is
unable to speak Spanish. The remark
of the Daily News in reply that John
Lind knows how to keep his mouth
shut in English, which is more impor-
tant, contains suggestion that lots
of people can ponder with profit

Any number of newspapers are re-
fering to the two governors who are
now presiding over New York state.
That's nothing. There are other states
that have two governors, but the real
executive is concealed behind the
throne. He pulls the strings when
ever the occasion requires. Mankato

1t is pleasant to note that amid the
flood of criticism that is being show
cred upon President Wilson on account
of his dilatory Mexican policy and his
attitude on the tariff and currency
bills, the editors who hope to be ap-
pointed postmasters are standing firm
ly by the administra tion.-Sauk Cen

A prominent Fairmont banker, who
occasionally takes flyer in real es-
tate, says the land business hasn't
started yet "Wait" he says, "till the
farmers Of Iowa and Illinois get
through harvesting and they will be
climbing over each other to buy our
land, just as good as theirs, at from
$50 to $3.50 less an acre. Fairmont

Governor Eberhart made a good
address at st. Paul last Saturday, up
holding public utilities commission
for Minnesota. We have a commits
Ion now to supervise the railroads
the Board of Railway and Warehouse
commissioners and if it is necessary
to control the railroad corporations
other day to voice their disapproval
that it would be the proper thing to
embrace under the same kind of con-
troll all the other public service cor
porations, such as telephones, street
railways, electric light and water
works plants Winnebago Free Press.
10 be plain about the matter, we
consider the voter just as capable sof
saying by his ballot who he wants for
place on the Board of Railroad. and
Warehouse Commissioners as he is of
saying who he wants for Governor.
With the exception above pointed out
we regard the Governors address (on
public utilities) as being an able pres
entation of the question at ISSUE
Madison Independent Press.
Three thousand Olmstead county
farmers assembled at Rochester the

OF the Elwell system of road building
in their locality. Senator Elwell was
present to explain his bill" Time
will make unnecessary the senator's
frequent and diffusive explanations
OF his scheme of extortion, for next
year the explanation will illuminate

If legislators spent as much time
IN attending to the needs of their con-
stituents as they do in maneuvoring
for political advantages, extra ses-
slons of congress and legislatures
would be entirely unnecessary.-Sauk
Centre Herald.
After hurried reading of Cover
nor Eberhart's speech on state control
OF public utilities, we cannot get away
from the impression that he has taken
an advanced position on a subject of
great Importance to the future well
fare OF the state. The so-called "pro-
gressive" politicians, whose main prin-
clple seems to be to oppose everything
that Eberhart does, may be fooled a.
gain like they were when the governor
called their bluff by convoking the leg
islature in special session a year ago
last spring and forced the adoption of
bill extending the primary election
system to include the state officials
