The report has been made, and we have nj
reason to believe it is unauthentic, that pract
ically all kinds of fruits can be grown in Mime
sofa. At any rate we know of several spots
where fine crops Of lemons have been grown.

/ The Mankato Free Press says that DR.. w. B
Riley of Minneapolis got what he was after
an excellent lot of free publicity. The Ere,
with it. When we said it we got panned

There may be many sorts of satisfaction
abroad in the world but we know Of none that
beats the satisfaction that comes when one gets
a receipt from Treasurer A. P. Falk stating that
the November taxes are paid. By the way, it's
about time you treated yourself to that satisfac-
ton, too.

Harry Wheelock of Fergus Falls writes OF
the present-day Republican party as "the cheap
and venal, mercenary, self-seekng, plundering
Dragging hollow shell of that once great party.s
Guess there is something about the present day
G. o. P that Harry doesn't like. But what an
awful waste of good adjectives!

At Wood Lake the other night julius A.
Schmahl, Republican candidate for State Treas
urer said "For your own sake send that magnifi-
cent young soldier, Major E. E. Howard, to Con-

Some of the newspapers were unduly wor-
ried as to how "Silent CAL" would entertain the
springtly Queen Marie Evidently these editors
have not yet discovered that the best entertain
in the world belong to the good-istener class.
We can't imagine that the Queen was the least
bit bored while in the presence Of President and
Mrs. Coolidge.
If had my life to live over again, would
make it rule to read some poetry and listen
to some music at least once a week; for perhaps
the parts Of my brain now atrophied would thus
have been kept active through use. The loss of
these tastes is loss of happiness, and may pos
sible be injurious to the intellect, and more prob
ably to the moral character, by enfeebling the
moral part of our nature.-Charles Darwin.

Emma Goldman and her British husband
have arrived in Canada and Emma insists that
she wants to come back to the United States,
where, it will be remembered she was told that
she was an undesirable" several years ago.
With no wish to seem inhospitable it appears
that Emma would be an unnecessary liability to
the U. S. if she were permitted to return. We
know Of nothing she has done during her en-
forced life abroad that should rate her less
undesirable than when she left us.

Arthur M. Nelson, one of the Fairmont Daily
Sentinels staff writer's, is writing some mighty
interesting stuff under the heading Of with the
Politicians" In Mondays Sentinel he makes this
wise observation: "It's hard to exercise Chris
tian forbearance toward people who will criticize
minister for permitting politics to find place in
his pulpit utterances. Refranng from talking
politics on Sunday doesn't take the clergy out
never mention politics in their services yet pref
ty nearly control the votes of their congregations
You may be able to separate church and state
but you can't separate religion and politics. At
any rate, it isn't being done even in the best
regulated churches

Duluth has really intelligent police force.
Read this:
"a 150-pound buck created COM
motion on West Second street early this
afternoon, when, after wandering down
First avenue from the hill some
where, it got frightened and jumped
through the front door glass of the Du-
luth Burial Case Company, 11s West
