In looking over the political field we are con- siderably surprised at the number of “favorite sons” trotted out by the two great political parties. We presume they are all great men—or at least they would. like to be considered great. ZAt any rate, being a favorite son entitles one to a certain kind of distinction, and it also gets his name in the newspapers. But if they are seeking newspaper publicity and political distinction, both can easily be secured. Let each favorite son go seriously to settled conditions. If they can pull down that chestnut we are for them—all of them—for any- it 'is going to require more than that to keep us off the rocks during the next few years. We need, a man who can'reach the chestnut, regardless of what his political affiliations may be. P, il g T GANG LAW. . Consider the gunman, what he is and what he does. He is one who is quick on the draw, a center shot, and a bunch of wickedness in the hide which God once made pure. He is a hero to vice and a terror to respectability. He kills wantonly and - is ‘proud of slaying. ~He glories in acts which all decent people abhor. - The daily. press of our great cities are full of the exploits of gunmen, who should be stretching rope, but instead are taking life.

He has_ pardoned Kate O’Hare, better known as “Red Kate,” an ultra rank socialist, an extreme pro-German during the war, and who was sentenced to five years by Judge Wade of the federal court. It was “Red Kate” who told a North Dakota audience that the mothers of soldiers were no better.than “brood sows.” - Kate is disloyal. to this country, a trouble' maker, and who voiced a vulgar insult to the mothers of America. Being liberated from prison, where she was justly sent, she will renew her vicious work. This is the woman the president has so unwisely pardoned from, prison. . —St. Cloud Journal Press. AT AT o A certain surgeon who was very young andralso rather shy, was invited to' dinner by a lady who was at least 50, but frivolous enough for 20.- At dinner she asked the young surgeon to carve a chicken, and, not having done so before, he failed lamentably. Instead of trying to cover his con- fusion, the hostess called attention to it pointedly by looking down the table and'saying, loudly: “Well, you may be a very clever surgeon, but J if T wanted a leg off I should not come to you to do it.” ; “No, madam,” he 'replied, politely, “but, then, you see, you are not a chicken.”—Ex. !
