Auditor King reports for the Mag- net in an official capacity. His hypo- critical “protestations in the last is- sue of the back alley weakling were afairsampleof the man’s duplicity. If he did not write it, he dictated every word of the ;article relative to the meeting and proceedings of the board of county commissioners.

Johnson, the versa- tile lawyer and politician of Minne- apolis, entertained a fair-sized audi- ence at Village hall on Thursday evening, when he delivered his lec- ture, ‘‘Whither Drifting.” The lec- tule is one of unusual merit and Mr. Johnson’s audience made apparent its keen appreciation of the worth of his discourse by listening throuhout to his address with the closest atten- tion. The Herald-Review regrets that space will not permit an exten- ed review of the lecture, but it is sufficient to say thatif Mr. Johnson continues upon the forum he will score a decided success and win for himself well merited ‘laurels. ee | But the commission- find some !
