working in Minneapolis and had KEPT
his money in an old desk and was
taking the wad to his home in ST
James, AS soon as people learn tt
use our banking system intelligently
there will be little left for the light
fingered gentry.-Le Sueur News.
Congress is whooping it up again
But we have no time to waste over
minor affairs-so fet them whoop.-

Baby shows may be all right, but
few men who have won distinction
in this country would have taken any
of the prizes. Albert Lea Tribune.
In view of the emphatic protests
of our government, it is believed that
the powers of Europe will at least
allow hymn books to be exported as
not contraband- Mesaba Miner.
Secretary of State William Jen-
nings Bryan again has come out
strong for Woman Suffrage, notwith
standing the fact that his chief con-
tinues to pass it on the states. Looks
as if William J. will be presidential
candidate in 1916-eh Red Wing

The Legislature grist has begun to
grind. The kind of feed will be de-
cided later. If they get down to bust
ness and hold short session it will
please everybody, for it is one of the
best ways to start the economy sys-
tenn. Get live issues and weed out the
f.-Beaudette Region.
Republicans in Congress and some
of the hide bound partisan papers in
the country are trying their durndest
to belittle Pres. Wilson and the DEM
ocratic administration before the eyes
of the people. If the president and
Democratic congress can succeed IN
keeping this country out of war they
ought to have the everlasting graft
tude of the American people. Every
patriotic citizen should uphold the
president in his efforts to carry this
country over any crisis of approach
ing war.-Sleepy Eye Herald Dis
patch.
w. S. Hammond, Minnesota's new
governor, starts auspiciously on what
appears to be very promising ca
reer as the state executive. His ad-
dress before the state Legislature was
good and left no doubt in anyone's
mind as to his determination to serve
the state in a capable and efficient
manner.-M Motley Mercury.
From a movement started in GER
tain political quarters it appears that
an attempt will be made to repeal
the nom partisan law at this session
of the legislature. The bosses are
losing control because the party whip
was taken away from them, but the
people should worry Badger Herald

There is no law on the Minnesota
statutes which needs revising more
than does that concerning the indie
terminate sentence. The law is an in
Justice to the friendless man who is
sent to state prison and favors alb
solutely the fellow who is fortunate
enough to possess influential friends.
Juust why board which is unfami-
liar with the real circumstances of
case should have the privilege to
govern entirely is beyond our COM
prehension. The trial judge, in our
mind should be reinstated with that
power to name the length Of term,
and then if a prisoners record is such
that he is deserving of release, let
it be given, providing his punishment
has been sufficiently severe. -Bemid-
| il Pioneer.
The people who keep quiet and do
not continue the agitation of the
Flowers-Gordon contest are on the
right track. The former was elected,
Gordon was willing to make it I'M
animous, and why continue the agi-
, tation? Flowers has recognized Cor
don as foeman worthy of his steel
and made him chairman of an i'm
portant committee. Let US have
peace. Saltwater Gazette.
