where they can have mothers love
and care. This is certainly better, in
most cases, than sending the children
to some institution to be supported by
the state. Properly safeguarded, such
a law in Minnesota would be helpful in
the right direction. We sometimes
forget that the most important pro-
ducts of the state are the boys and
girls, and each one of them is entitled
to the best possible chance of becem-
ing good man or good woman.

The Menahga Journal seems to have
the situation sized up about right
when it says that DR.. Stones reap
portionment bill serves to give south
ern Minnesota an excuse once more to
vote against just reapportionment.
However, the voters of the district can
only blame themselves. The doctor
makes no secret of his position on the
reapportionment question.-Wad n a

The Pujo money trust investigating
committee is talking of calling James
J. Hill to Washington to tell why he
bought two st. Paul banks and merged
them. If the Investigations continue
it will not be long before it will be un-
safe for man to buy two delivery
wagons.-Fergus Falls Journal.
Within short time it will be posi-
BILE to talk by phone from New York
to San Francisco. A direct wire will
connect the two cities before the end
of the year. The cost of the direct
wire will be about $2,OO0,OOO, and the
toll will be $18 minute. But for
those who have important business to
transact, talk will be cheap even at
that -Winnebago Enterprise.
Several northern towns are after a
normal school, but are expected to pool
issues before the crux comes We
have about as much need of another
normal school as rabbit has for two
tails.-Elk-R River Star-News.
The reappointment of W. F. Houk
as labor commissioner and C. G.
Schulz as superintendent of public in
struction, is in line with good govern
ment and the recognition of faithful
service. The two gentlemen named
are efficient, honest and capable and
deserving of the honor which has come
to them.-Sauk Centre Herald.
If the Democrats will give us tar
iff revision downward without wage
revision in the same direction, we
won't kick.-Rock County Herald.
1t appears that we are in for anoth-
er normal school fight. D. P. O'Neill
started the ball rolling by introducing
bill for a normal school at Cass
Lake Bemidji will no doubt come to
the front later. 1t is suspected, how
ever, that the demonstration is large
ly in the nature of play to the gall
cries, and that none of the proponents
of these bills anticipate for them
successful issue. There is little doubt
that it is the opinion of majority of
the members of the house that the
state has gone as far in this direction
as it ought to at this time. However
it may not be well to be too sure.
Logrolling for Normal schools has in
the past proven very effective at

| Woodrow Wilson is said to be
against the holding of the customary
inaugural ball. Bully for Wilson! He
evidently believes as do many of his
countrymen, that we have had too
much glitter and tinsel, fiapdoodle and
fiubdub, and that it is time we were as
a nation getting back to the sensible
ways of our -Winnebago

Duluth, according to the News-Tri-
bune, is not opposed to the distance
tariff but is willing to take pot luck
with the rest of the communities of
the state in the matter of freight
rates. So it remains for the twin cit
les, ST. Paul and Minneapolis, in their
selfish desire to absorb all the bust
ness of the state, to stand between the
smaller cities and their rights. Whe-
Their they are powerful enough to pre-
vent the enactment of a just ano
equitable distance tariff law this ses-
sion of the legislature remains to be
seen.-Hutchinson Leader.
Somebody has offered President
