COMMENT ON THE PRESS

One Of J. ]. Hills experiment farms
last season yielded 43 bushels Of
wheat to the acre, while on the sur
rounding field it went only rs bush
els. It's slow in coming, but after
awhile no farmer will deny the use
Of applying scientific methods to his
farming operations nor will he last |
long if he refuses to practice them.
Breckenridge Telegram.
If ]. j. Hill is wise he'll stick to tho
| farming which he knows so well, and
leave the public school system about
which he knows nothing, to some one
who does.
It is reported that some of the
leading Democrats of the state are |
thinking of drafting John Lind as
candidate of their party for the United
States Senate John will not have to
be drafted. After certain amount
Of teazing he will respond to ''the
great call for his services" if he
thinks there is any show of his being
elected-Albert Lea Tribune.
Just as matter Of information we
rise to ask just what has John done
in the past to justify this statement.
A number of the o-called educators
are attacking James ]. Hill because
at a banquet of the Northwestern
Yale alumni, he characterized the
common school system as "a dismal
failure" At the same time it must
be admitted that Mr.. Hill never talks
upon a subject with which he is not
familiar, and his critics will do well
if, instead of denouncing him, they go
to him for advice-Princeton Union.
It's easy enough for men life J. j.
Hill and the Union editor to tear down
and criticize. Given the problems of
educators, what would they do towards
solutions? That's the only true basis
of criticism.
Jas. Peterson's statement, announ-
cling himself, reads like funny ar
ticle. Mr.. Peterson says in it that
the great principle to be fought for
at the polls is the undoing of the pres
ent administration rather than vic
tory. How he is going to undo the
administration without victory, he
does not explain.-Duluth Herald.
This reads pretty nearly as we'll in
the Herald as it did in The Gazette of
last week. Strange Jim's announce,
ment should impress two of us the
same way. Wonder if any one else
felt it.
You couldn't tell from Staples
reply to Rosenwald whether he was
going home or coming back" If he
makes few more replies of that
kind, there will be no doubt-he will
be going home.-Dawson Sentinel.
Minnesota is really the state of
golden opportunities for the man of
moderate means but with will to
hustle.-Brown Valley Tribune.
You're right about that, Sam
particularly the hustling propensities
Minnesota is mighty cold PROPOSE
ton for the lazy man to handle.
The next legislature, which will be
simon pure non-partisan, should non
partisanize every Office in the state
The idea of voting for men because
of the tag they wear is absurd
Fairmont Sentinel.
Think if it had also been so, FRIEND
Frank! My, My!
James Peterson of Minneapolis has
filed as candidate for governor. This
will make three, Mr.. Iverson, Mr.
Peterson and at seasonable time
Governor Eberhart, will east. his lot
with them. Of the three, Peterson
stands the smallest chance Of being
elected, for the simple reason that he
has not been public man, never has
done anything that really merits the
confidence of the people.-Morristowr
Press.
We agree with you. There really is
no reason why-and a big one why
not.
