What would the East do these days
if it were not for the big money the
West is sending it every day for auto
mobiles for instance Minnesota, ac-
cording to a recent report of the sec
rotary of state, is buying automobiles
at the rate of 200 day and most of
them are being bought by farmers
who are getting ready to harvest an
other bumper crop. Quit your knock
ing and come out West where the
sun is shining."- Cloud Times.
While the meeting at Hinckley went
on record as censuring the work of
the State immigration Bureau and
calling for more publicity, the writer
opposed the part containing the crltl-
cism for the reason that we believe,
for the money invested, good returns
have been received. If it was more
publicity that was wanted it would
have been easy to have "resoluted' to
that extent, without being grouchy
about it.-Menagha Journal.
Judge Johnson of Red Wing has
created something of a sensation by
digging up an old law of 1907, which
provides a 2-cent passenger rate and
severe penalties for any railroad offi-
cial from president down, who viol-
ates it. The law has never been re-
pealed and the judge charges the
grand jury to investigate the matter.
The Judge might extend his investi-
cation to other laws that are not en-
forced. There are doubtless enough
of them to fill a good sized book.-Elk
