his folks are going to do it in big
way.
Here we have the St. Paul Dispatch
and the Minneapolis Journal objecting
to the sending of Minnesota soldiers
to New Mexico for training. We be-
ieve New Mexico is part Of the Unit
ed States.
The acquittal of Mrs. Mooney in San
Francisco throws very great doubt on
the verdict of guilty in the two cases
already tried. 1t looks as if the prosv-
cutting authorities were too anxious to
punish, rather than to do justice.
Cardinal Gibbons was recently asked
for message to young men. The ven
cradle prelate said: "Be Americans
always. Remember that you owe all
& to America, and be prepared, if your
country demands, to give all in re-
turn.''
Springfield Republican: Sympathies

cure for misplaced sympathies is the
lapse of time and the course of events.
The Menahga Journal thinks the
Non-partisan league is violating the
Blue Sky law. If a farmer wants to
subscribe to political party, we don It

pick up those between the ages Of con-
scrlption and place them where they
will move only under orders.
Judge Nye wrote to a friend that
his aspirations are j, dicial, not execu-
tive. If the judge were called in the
right way, he could hardly refuse. o.
cupancy of the bench demands quail
ties different from that of an admins
traitor or executor, and Judges who

in being fair.
