The governor doesn’t care. The attorney general doesn’t care. Hazen doesn’t seem to care. The taxpayer who is entitled to a square deal and a decent public ser- vant may care, but he’s nobody. So nobody cares. Raspberries are ripe and you don’t have to use any bait with which to catch them. It is not at all dlfllcult to imagine & picture agent working in cahoots with a safe robber. Could it be possible that the new bright light in the early morning sky which scientists figure is a me- teor, is in fact a Pinkerton detective?

SALOON FIGHT IN TEXAS. Texas is about to undergo one of the stiffest tests made anywhere in the country between the liquor inter- ests and the anti-saloon forces. The state campaign which has been waged with a bitterness that has seemed to increase daily for the past three months will close tomorrow and on Saturday the voters will decide whether or not an amendment pro- viding for statewide phohibition shall be added to the constitution of Texas. Reports from all directions indi- cate that this is by far the most bit- ter political struggle which ever has occurred in the Lone Star State. To- day and tomorrow the fight will be brought to a whirlwind finish with mass meetings in every nook and corner of the Commonwealth, from || the Panhandle to the Gulf, and from El Paso to the forests of East Texas. It seems impossible to forecast the result of the special election with any degree of certainty. From the head- quarters of both the prohibitionists and the anti-prohibitionists are em- anating reports indicating that both sides view the outlook with equal confidence. Some onlookers see in the results of the last Democratic primary an indication of the vote in the coming election. To the majority, however, the results of the recent primary on-|| 1y serve to make the present situa- tion the more puzzling. In the pri- mary an overwhelming vote for Rail- road Commissioner Oscar B. Colquitt, the anti-prohibitionist candidate-for governor, was polled, but at the same time a great demand for the submis- sion of the prohibition question was voted. In Democratic Texas, nomi- nation in a Democratic primary is equivalent to el;fiiqn, and although Mz, Colquitt was assuréd of the. post of sovernor. he was obliged by’ the votes bf the people to’ submit to a vote or thé question of prohibition. Throighout the campaign both sides have maintained headquarters in a number of the leading cities of ‘the State. From these headquarters tons of literature have been mailed and hundreds of speakers liave been sent forth to stump the country from end to end. Governor Colquitt him- self has led the force of anti-speakers. On the prohibition side former Gov- ernor Campbell has been. one of the most active workers. The. newspa- 59| pers, the churches, the Y. M. C. A. and numerous other organizations have lined up on one side or the oth- er in the campaign and many in- - | stances are cited where even families are split over the issue. The only feature of the struggle which stands out with unmistakable clearness is the fact that the public generally is desirous that the saloon question be definitely settled once and for all, for it has long been a bug- bear in Texas politics. “ But whether they want to vote out the saloon at the same time is a question that can be answered only by a count of the votes day after tomorro JUDGE FRANK IVES. The Daily Pioneer joins in the flood of congratulations .pouring in on that venerable dean of Minnesota newspapermen, Judge Frank Ives, ed- itor of the Cass Lake Times in honor of the eightieth anniversary of his birth. Ripe in years, he is still rip- er in deeds and in the evening of a useful life he commands the respect of all who know him. Coming to Northern Minnesota from Red Wing in 1878, he has seen this part of the state transformed from a wilderness into thriving citles and villages. Many honors have been given him, including a term of six years as judge on the district bench. Today he. probably is the oldest active editor in the state, and, as he says himself, he proposes to stay in the harness|AL “until it galls me.” long time to come, May that be a R R R R R R R RCRCORCR ) © What Other Papers Say. © LR R R R R R R Hands One to Halvor, Congressman Steenerson in a re- cent .newspaper interview throwed a pessimistic fit in which he stated that he was afraid of hard times if the reciprocity pact was adopted.

Temidji Pioneer: “There is only one kad feature to these clear, orisp, ccol mornings. We refer to that blamed hell-bumping alarm clock.” If one has to lie awake with the heat all night, it’s no wonder “cool" morn- ings are enjoyed. In Duluth people can sleep at night and feel so re- freshed that they wake up without an alarm clock.—Duluth News Tri- bune. Babbling *Bout Politics. Under the caption, “Shame On You, Stephens!” the Bemidji Pioneer publishes a scathing rebuke to the coterie of men who are fighting tooth and nail to cannonize Supt. Whittier, of Red Wing, and in desperation-are trying to put the people off the scent by babbling that “politics” are behind If it is politics it is the godliest effort attributed to “poblitics” in Minnesota for many moons and shows regeneration among politicians.—Crookston Times.

Cass Lake and Be- midji made quite a success of it for a time but daily promises of arrests of prominent business men without any arrests make us guspect that we are almost as gullible as the “Pinker- ton detectives” are silly in this mat- ter. We refuse to fall for any more business men'’s conspiracy.—Hibbing Daily Tribune. Gives Fair Warning. The Times turned down some good cash advertising last- week in order that it might protect its home mer- chants, and when we went to press there was only one general store ad- vertisement in the paper. we are going to sell our space to somebody and if the home merchant doesn’t want it, it will go to those who do want it. We believe there is a limit to everything, and when the limit of protecting the home inter- ests is reached by the country paper, then it is time to look out for itself. —Thief River Times.
