When Beltrami has a senator of its own, Mr. Berg will stand some show, No man who is inclined to have beart disease should try to be nom- inated auditor. The frost-killed grapes of last spring are now on the market in all their delicious splendor. The Weather Man had better not got too chesty. Perhaps he forgets that that was only the primary elec- tion. Doctors now say that sand cures indigestion. Maybe the sugar trust has, after all, been a blessing in disguise. A sixteen year old Minot, N, D., maiden eloped with an Indian base- ball player and now the girl’s dad certainly is on the warpath. In speaking of Tuesday’s event, Mr. Long Bow of the Minneapolis Journal says: ‘‘The ceremonies were simple but impressive.” Andy Stephens won out, instead of being put out, and that’s a very good sign that the Crookston dis- trict knows a good man when it sees him. e — Methodist ministers in some of the southern conferences are receiv- ing a salary of $150 a year. They are not going to buy many automo- biles on a salary of that size. A county option bill may wiggle through the house but it will have a harder time buffeting its way to Governor Eberhart through the sen. ate than Eliza did crossing the ice. Mayor Gaynor is hesitating and appears inclined to accept the demo- cratic nomination for governor of New York. One would think that the Mayor has had about enough trouble for this year. Rehse in the St. Paul Pioneer Press has a cartoon of Taft saying to Roosevelt: ‘‘I see that the First World_ of ; Dewey, Oklahoma to be compelled to print the following: “An error was’ permitted to go through the ‘World’ last week 1n the announcement of William Rogers as a candidate for Treasurer of Dewey township. He is a candidate on the democratic ticket instead of the re- publican ticket as we had it. “We L.apologize.” And the startling part of itallis that it is just about like ccmmitting suicide to call a man a republican, in some parts of Oklahoma. THE RIGHT SPIRIT. “I bave lost the nomination and am ready to extend congratulations to my successfuld rival and to pledge to him my earnest support during the coming campaign.” These are the words used by G. W. Campbell who fails in an effort to get his name on the republican ticket for county attorney. If the other defeated candidates show the same disposition there ought to be no apprehension over the success of the republicans at the coming election. Of course the days of the hard, fast unbreakable allegiance to all men who may be fortunate enough to geton the ticket are over, but when the voice ot the people calls a man to make the race there must be exceptional reasons for denying him support. Minnesota district went for YOUR mar,” and Roosevelt is saying to Tatt: "I see that the First Minne- sota district WENT for your man.” Mr. Steenerson has reason to ieel that this work in congress is appreciated by the voters of the ninth district. While the complete vote is not yet in he already has a bunch of ballots as big as Mount McKinley piled up in his favor. There is only one explanation of his splendid victory and that is that the peoplefeel that he has beenwith them. It isn’t the pleasantest thing in the world to incur the enmity of the speaker of the house of representa- tives by standing out and inviting his wrath by refusing to bow to mandates, which if disobeyed may mean a loss to the congressman of needed appropriations for his home district. Mr. Steenerson did stand out, yet he got a good many things for the district, and also the nomina- tion when election time rolled around. It pays to heed the de- mands and desires of the people. They are more powerful than even the speaker of the national house of representatives. QUITE AN ERROR. As it has been said from the begin- ning of time, ‘‘the poor we have with us always,” so the newspapers could say of errors in their columns, An error-proof publication is yet to be inven:: ., However, it remained for the [ AECEATIVIC DA I | | TAWNEY'S DEFEAT. By the action of the voters in the First congressional district Minneso- ta loses her most spectacular figure in the national law making body. Deplorable as was his defeat, there is some satisfaction in the knowledge that it probably was not the Republi- cans who have retired one of the most distinguished sons of the North Star commonwealth in recent years. Mr. Tawney himself explains the cause of his failure to secure the nomination in the following language: “Throughout the primary the Democrats talked against me and worked for my opponent. They boldly declared they would vote for him in order to defeat me. = Under our primary law this could not be prevented. Three hundred Demo- cratic votes in each of the seven counties was all that was necessary to acomplish what the Democrats wanted. “The Democratic vote in these counties two years ago was over 7,000. At the the primary election Tuesday in these counties there were less than 150 Democratic votes cast. In a single precinct in one county there were 70 more Repub- lican ballots voted yesterday than were cast for President Taft in the precinct two years ago. “It will be seen, therefore, that the Democrats of the district have made the Republican nomination, as it was intended they should do when my opponent was selected will call for powerful Stillwater Gazette. EBERHART BIG, IF CARICATURES ARE CORRECT. Our presex'n executive seemed as big a man as those he welcomed to the state if the caricatures of them fit the facts but he did his part well. Really’ Eberhart |, makes a good governor and will average with the best of them.—Granite Falls Tribune. b TAWNEY OUT OF TOUCH. The defeat of Congressman Tawney of Minnesota will result in the retirement of one of the ablest men in congress. The Herald remarked many weeks ago that if Mr. Tawney should be defeated it would not be because of any lack of ability and not because anyone questioned his high character as a man. His defeat has been due to neither of these things. The trouble with Mr. Tawney is that he got out of touch with his people, and when a man does that it is time for him to fetire. | One of the tendencies of our politics is | toward the creation of close political cor- porations. The transaction of public busi- ness is entrusted to a small organization of supposedly capable men, and gradu- ally those men draw closer and closer together until they conceive themselves to be the government. That has been the case at Washington, and many a good man has been drawn into the obligarchy there to his own destruction. Lincoln's memorable saying that it is important that a man’s legs be long enough to reach the ground fits the case exactly. Mr. Tawney did not realize it until it was too late.—Grand Forks Herald. HIBBING MASHERS DUE FOR DOWN- FALL. Last spring ladies were annoyed on several occasions by being fcllowed by men in the residence section of the town at night. Several ladies were badly frightened by being caught up with by men in the darker portions of the streets. During the summer this abuse’, has grown worse, and of late has become quite serious. There are a number of Jack | the Loafers who make a practice of lurk- ing in the alleys at night, making vile and insulting remarks when ladies pass by and in some cases following ladies | and keeping up a volley of coarse remarks. The village council has determined to do away with this abuse and will put on enough policemen to thoroughly watch all the streets, and the first man caught under suspicious circumstances in the alleys or elsewhere about the streets at The village authorities are quite likely, also, to have some assistance in this informal vigilance committee will deal out summary chastisement to any' Jack the Loafer that can be caught.—Hibbing | Tribune.

Falls came to Bemidji yesterday for only a short time before the time for filing expired and after the in- surgents had spent more than three months in a fruitless endeavor to obtain a Republican to file as a candi- date against me. “The Democrats knew this was their only opportunity to accomplish my defeat, and they naturally took advantage of it. Under the former system of making nominations this would have been impossible. “The long and the shdrt of it is this: The Republicans of the district met yesterday as if it were in mass convention to select a candidate for congress. Our primary law permitted the Democrats to enter the convent- ion, and there were enough of them to control its action. It was not the false representations of me made by my opponent, nor the use of the name and popularity of Mr. Roosevelt to give color of truth to these rep- resentations that accomplished the result. It was simply the vote of the Democrats in the counties where there was no Democratic contest for the Democratic nominations.” WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY “MINNY" LEAGUE SEEMS DOOMED.

A merchant in a large city allowed his name to be posted in his club three times for nonpayment of dues. A few days after the last posting he applied to his bank for a loan.
