F'S PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN - ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES MNITW YORKX AND CHICACC FNCHESIYIALL TUE IPAL CITis The United States will declare war on turkey November 26. Instead of the fire of the cannon, it will be the fall of the ax and the death list will. be large. Another honor has been awarded George Vincent, president of the state university, having been elected head of the Association of American universities. “Billy” Noonan, of the Baudette Region, is a member of that order of losers:which makes politics the great game that it is. Admitting that only one of the candidates he supported was successful at the polls last Tues- day, he bobs right back and says: “It is better to have fought and lost than never to have fought at all.” 0ld Officials to Go. Many changes are to be made in the make-up of the state depart- ments after January 1, and it is more than probable that most of the offices will be manned by new chiefs after that date. Two important Federal offices now held by Republicans are to be filled before the first of the vear. State departments are due for the most thorough housecleaning they have known in years. But as Win- fleld Scott Hammond was elected gov- ernor largely by non-partisan votes both his housecleaning at the capitol and his appointments to the vacan- cies will be upon a non-partisan basis to a large extent. The housecleaning is scheduled to include not only department heads, but a considerable number of the sub- ordinate employes. ough will be the application of the Democratic cleanser in the fire mar- shal’s office and in the state game and fish commission. Two or three of the present de- partment heads, appointed by Gov- ernor Eberhart, likely will stay, but as for the rest—out they go. In the meantime let the Federal appointments be disposed of. There is no gossip in the changes there. The announcements are based on in- formation of definite character. Harry A. Lund, Minneapolis, is to be appointed collector of customs to succeed Marcus Johnson. Harvey Grimmer, St. Cloud, for- merly executive clerk to John A Johnson, is to be appointed United States marshal to succeed William Grimshaw of Minneapolis. There appointments may be ex- pected to be made in Washington any day now. They are finally decided upon. And here is a partial list of the important state officials who are al- most positive to find themselves se- vered from the state payroll on Jan. 18 Charles E. Vasaly, Little Falls, chairman of the state board of con- trol. His terms expires Jan. 1. Charles Keller, St. Paul, state fire marshal, brother of the former mayor of St. Paul; Ernest Simpson, first assistant, Minneapolis; Robert J. Martin, deputy, - Minneapolis, and practically all the other deputies are to go with the chief. Harry Rider, executive agent of the state game and fish commission, residence Little Falls, and most of the wardens. Eric Lien, state librarian. C. G. Schulz, state superintendent of education. Fred Sherman, state immigration commissioner. A. W. Crozier, state hotel mspectm‘ with “B."M. Lennon, deputy. J. G. Winkjer, state dairy and food inspeetor. Con F. Dwyer, state boiler (nspect- or. Minneapolis. Among those who are quite likely to ‘go are: J. G. Armson, member State Tax csmmission, who term expires Jan. 1. E. E. Corliss, custodian of capitol. Of course, it is a natural sequenc2 of events that George F. Authier, pri- vate secretary to Governor Eberhar will retire, as will Archie Hayes, ex- ecutive clerk” KX R KK KRR KKK KK KRR * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * KER KR KKK KK KKK H The initiative and referendum is all right in principle, but wrong in its application by enabling two vo- tersina ‘hundred to start law chlnj-:l Especially thor-|: 3 oo It is to be hoped that the coming legislature may pass the local op- tion by counties law to the end that out of polmcs—Mndisan Independ- ent-Press. —_— on a higher motive than the mere desire to keep out of trouble.. Upon ius the duty of medfation must fall; and to do that duty properly we will 0 lrequire the faith of all the bellig- erents in our utter aloofness from partisan feeling. It is to the teach- lers, the intellectual leaders, the molders of public opinion, that we must look to_keep the natfon ready for its honorable rule of peace-ar- biter.—Red Wing Republican. —— Four years ago James Gray was the democratic candidate for governor. He was an avowed county optionist, and repeatedly declared that if elected he would recommend to the legislature the enactment of a coun- ty option law. He was overwhelming- ly defeated at the polls and carried only two counties in the state. This year William E. Lee, the republican candidate for governor, was outspok- en in favor of county option and made it the paramount issue in his campaign. Mr. Lee suffered the same fate as Mr. Gray—was badly defeat- ed. It is very evident that the vo- ters of the state do-not want county loption, and prohibition is out of the question. ¢«Let the people rule.”— Princeton Union. Boy Eandit Dies of Wound.

LITTLE MEN IN BIG JOBS. One of the great criticisms of the American Government is that rolltlcnl offices are too frequent- y filled by inferior men, whose character and capacity 'do. not properly fit them for the busi- ness of passing just and wise laws. ese men creep into Congreus and the State Legisla- tures by “playing to the gallery™ for votes and popularity, and in- stead of helping to pass good laws for the greatest good of the greatest number of people, Beek merely to advance their personal power and prestige by advocat. laws that ignore fundantental” principios. of Business and are economically unsound and de- structive in their effect on every= body.
