He is carrying on clean and digni-

greater care and economy in making

in continuance of the present policy
of state development and publicity
which has within the past five years
nearly doubled the value of farm
lands and secured more actual set
tiers than all the surrounding states
combined. These are things that even
the enemies of the administration

the people, and for which the COVER

Lee Is Not the Man.

LIE Sueur News: If we are to get
away from machine politics in Mime
sofa Mr.. Lee is not the man to lead us.
Where is there a political machine,
now thoroughly creased and in good
working order, that is larger or more
sweeping in it's work than the one
owned by VIM. E. Lee, and used to
eliminate Peterson, Iverson and Ell
well. Each answers it is not made yet
Imagine, if you will this gentleman
going around the state, and in person,
as well as through his representatives,
from the platform, using the oft 1e-
peated cry, when you wish to attract
the attention to another so that it may
not rest on yourself, crying "stop
thief" when Mr.. VIM. E. Lee is the
king builder of political machines. It
is not our intention to get personal
in writing politics, but since the
gauntlet is thrown at us we must use
facts. Who picked the delegates to
the elimination convention. Everyone
knows that the friends of VIM. E. Lee
were travelling over the state for the
purpose, while Iverson and Peterson
were sulking in their tents. Possibly
it was expensive to make this cam
paign. VIM. E. Lee had the money,
and he made it. But he built ma
chine that is operating now, and will
be until it clogs in the Eberhart votes

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

The season has been a little back
ward in this vicinity and farmers
have been little backward about get
ting in their springs crops, but the
weather has now settled down, ground
is in excellent shape and the prospects
for a bountiful crop were never bet
ter at this season of the year. -
Old timers assure us and our own
experience bears out the statement
that whenever the spring planting is
held back by flurries of snow OF
heavy showers, a bumper crop is SUR,
to follow.
We have resided in this neighbor-
hood or in the close proximity of this
neighborhood ever since 1868 and dur
ing all that time we never have had a
failure of crops except the years that
they were devoured by grasshoppers
We are not writing this article fol
the benefit of the old settlers for they
are not worrying, but simply to in
form those who are putting in their
crops for the first time in this locality
that they have no cause for apprehen.
sion on account of the apparent late.
ness of the season.
When things once start in a season
of this kind the farmers have to sit
up nights if they wish to keep an &C.
curate account of their growth.

THE KEYNOTE SPEECH.

The days of the campaign orator are
fast passing, nevertheless a splendid
audience of nearly 1000 voters as
sembled at the Davidson Opera House
Friday evening of last week to listen
to the keynote address delivered by
Gov. A. o. Eberhart IN opening his
campaign for denomination.
The address was dignified and free
from personal abuse. The issues were
discussed without hesitation or quib-
bling and created very favorable
impression upon the large audience
assembled. He admitted he had made
mistakes, and Timed credit for the
things accomn he'd during his adj
ministration.
1t was shq that the blame for the
high rate axation rested entirely
on the 81 aers of the legislative
body; hoy endeavored to lower the
appropr hs after the bill had been
handed him at the very close of the
session That he did cut off $225,000.
1t wa Impossible to 90 more because
the y. forbade the Governor from
cut Dc off a portion of any appropri-
atiolS although it gave him power to
remove the entire appropriation for
any institution. The Governor could
not go farther two years ago without
Gripping the state institutions.
He referred to his first message to
the legislature in 1911 in which he
urged the reorganization of the state
departments and putting them on a
business basis; he also referred to his
at that time, of pro-
viding for budget system of hand
ling the states expenses, all of which
would indicate that some of the prom
inert candidates of the present day
were stealing thunder recommended
by Mr.. Eberhart in his first and each
message.
The Herald publishes the speech in
full elsewhere in this issue and it is
well worth the perusal by every
citizen of the state.

THE SYTTENDE MAI EST.

No other nation in the world, save
our own glorious Republic could FUR
nish parallel of the great 18th o.
May celebration that recently tool
place in Minneapolis. First and last
more than hundred thousand for.
eign born and descendants of foreign
born citizens met in monster cele-
| bration to commemorate the indepen-
dence day of a foreign nation.
In this magnificent gathering were
United States Senators, Governors
and in fact almost every civil office
was represented.
The capital represented by those
present mounted into the millions OF
dollars, yet great majority were
from the solid middle classes that
form the bulwark Of business, society
and government.
1t is safe to assert that nine-tenths
of those who claim "Gamle Norge" as
their birthplace arrived in this
country with little or no capital save
brave hearts and willing hands.
The wonderful achievements of the
Norwegians in the United States
reads more like romance than fact.
Coming from a land that is poor in
everything but men and women, in
proportion to their numbers they have
achieved successes in every line of HUI
man endeavor that have overshadow-
ed that of any other nationality.
This fact is due to the fundamental
characteristics of the race.
They were not spectators or plung-
ers, but creators, and the Norwegian
ideas Of business, inbred for countless
generations, is that when man re-
ceives a dollar he should give dollar
in value in return.
They were God-fearing, education
loving, law abiding class of men and
women. When they settled upon the
frontiers the first thing they did was
to build church and the second
school house.
They were devoted to the cause of
human rights and human liberties as
was evidenced by the fact that there
were regiment after regiment of the
Sunny haired sons of Scandinavia"
found in the Union armies, but if they
had raked the whole array of the
Southland hosts with fine toothed
comb, not a single representative
could have been found.
This country is proud of its north
land adopted citizens, and they are
proud of the land of their adoption.
They are also proud, inordinately
proud of the land of their nativity,
and it is we'll. That man who is
ashamed of his birth-land makes a
mighty poor American citizen.

HIS RECORD"

The very few Lindbergh newspaper
organs in this district, taking their
cue from the great self admirer, have
much to say about his Record"
The trouble is they fail to disting-
uish between record" and romance !"
A record is an account of things ac-
complished; romance" is recital of
imaginary occurrences, a telling of
things that exist only in dreams.
They make tremendous splurge
about the fight he made on the "Mon-
ey Trust" and he did make an inco-
herent speech on the subject that was
widely circulated, but it made such
little impression on congress that, if
we remember Alright, he was not given
either majority or minority place on
the committee appointed to investi-
gate the subject.
The eulogize his independence"
failing to distinguish between "inde-
pendence" and "contrariness." There
is many man who thinks he is in
dependent when he is only contrary.
Mr.. Linbergh has easily established
himself as the most contrary repre-
sentative in the House.
Elected as Republican and posing
as Republican to this day, he first
proceeded to break with his Republi-
can colleagues, to lambaste the pro-
ceedings of his fellow Republican
members like an angry fish-wife,
openly bolted the Republican organ
ization, and when the Democrats
came into control of the House he lost
no time in breaking" with the De-
mocracy in hot speech condemning
their methods.
There is method in his madness,
for whenever he is called to account
for non-fulfilment of promises or nom
accomplishments of results, he as
sumes virtuous air and assures his
constituents that the politicians" are
so down on him that he cannot do
The Lindbergh organs also fail to
between reputation and |
notoriety. The most mediocre man
ian gain notoriety by tearing down
Or attempting to tear down things.
There is no surer road to notoriety
han destructiveness, but it takes real
ability to build up along regular lines,
md of this sort of ability Mr.. Lind
,ergh does not possess.
Mankind in general have a great
admiration for any man who makes a
martyr of himself, but there are two
linds of martyrs. The man. who
makes a martyr of himself from prin-
iple and the man who makes mar
yr of himself for profit. The first is
untitled to the respect of mankind, the
econd only to the contempt of hui
nanity. Mr.. Lindbergh has posed as
| political martyr to the Queens /
aste but he does it that he, may heap
political advantage therefrom.
Mr.. Lindbergh's record IS romance;
lis independence is obstinacy; his ac-
are nil, but his self
onceit is monumental.
