Lewis is to pe retired, so it seems. A fact that will not be regretted. panne enU EA 2s John R. Meining, the well-known traveling man from Duluth, an- nounces that he will be an indepen- dent candidate for the office of sher- riff of St. Louis County next fall. There are a whole lot of people in Itasca county who would like to have a chance to vate for John Meining for almost any office. He is the style of man that inspires an acquaintance with the impression that he would make an ideal sheriff. ro THE REASON WHY Jur innocent friend of the Bovey fron News wonders why the Herald- Review has not stepped into the polit- ical arena in defense of SenatorD M. Gunn against what he seems to re- rd as Itasca County Independent. Why, bless your immaculate idiosyncraciies, the rea- son is so patent that even the blind, deaf and dumb should understand. The Independent doesn’t rise to the of opposition—Senator Gunn needs no defense. He is too well known too highly respected throughout this senatorial district to suffer as that.in.question. On.the.other hand, the Independent is too well known and too cordially dispised wherever it is known to do either good or injury man or party. It will be re- called that the Independent opposed Senator Gunn four years ago; sland- opposition by the dignity and any injury from such a source to any ered him in every way its small nation was capable of suggest- accepted money from his oppon- im: ing ent for doing so, and yet he receiv- ed almost the unanimous support of people of this county. Why does Independent Senator Eerald-Review will tell The Independent’s idea of the the oppose Gunn? The you why. politics is pelf. The publisher of that paper is confirmed in the belief that when a newspaper gives its support {a a candidate for office it is after that candidate has put up the cash in payment for the alleged support. Senator Gunn does not campaign along lines the Independent would gave him follow.. He does not buy a seat in the senate. The Independent would blackmail any other candidate for office. But the time has passed when the Independent can levy tri- bu'e influence in the territory where it circulates. . This district has one of the ablest senatorial representatives in the gtate of Minnesota and the people wilt see to it that he is retained to work for their interests during the next two sessions of the state law makers. In the meantime the Herald-Review eannot afford to waste either time or space on the guerrillaous Indepen- dent. From time to time it may be mecessary to expose its surreptitious warfare, but in the main there is plenty of more wholesome matter to fill these columns. eee AN APCLOGY Very much to our surprise the Old- or exercise whole county of Itasca was assaulted by the Old-berg Owl—the county of- ficials, and all the people residing within the confinés of this | good county were made.the subject of fiendish criticism. We are. advised that our irritated brother said in his “leading” editorial that everybody in Itasca county is a grafter and the Herald-Review editor stands at the head of the class. For the Herald- Review editor there are no excuses to offer and no apologies to make. His fat bank account and vast es- tates is evidence per se that he has had a graft of some kind in order to make possible the tremenduous ac- cumulations that are now assessed in his name. But we do protest that the charge is not true with relation to all citizens of Itasca. The Herald- Review humbly petitions the Oldberg wl to concede the existence here of a few well inteutioned folks, and lay the blame mostly to this paper and its editor. Our infuriated friend of ldberg says Itasca was robbed by two county treasurers. We beg to inform him. that Itasca county is not out a dollar on the reported defal- cations. We have.a custom here that puts our public officials under bonds, and in that way any shortage is made good. The Herald-Review now realizes that it made a serious mis- take in speaking slightingly of.the Old berg Owl, but somehow the editor hereof can’t get out of the. habit of speaking the truth as it appeals to him. And so the whole blamed shootin’ match will have to go as she was writ. ——_————— PUSSYFOOT JOHNSON Bro. Kiley of the Grand Rapids Her ald-Review, makes and publishes the most scorching indictment ever pre- sented against the Federal Interior department and its henchmen, espec- ally one known as Pussyfoot Jiohn- son, Whom he justly accuses of nap- ing justica and strangling liberty. The ‘indictment is long and specific and attempts to cover the whole ground. If we were in the position of <ecretary Ballinger we would has- ten to plead guilty and throw ourself on tthe mercy of the court. From our own observations we are compelled td remark, that in all the years of our somewhat long life we ‘have nev- er sean a bare-faced defiance of law and such disrespect for common de- ‘cency as has been exhibited fin the transactions of Special agent Johnson in his dealings with some of our peo- pled who were supposed to ‘be guiilt- less of crime until convicted. But full and specific as Bro. Kiley’s indictment is, it does mot cover the whole ground. If the Indian treaty of 1855 is still the law governing bhe introduction and sald of liquor. in ‘Minnesota, west of the Mississippi river and north of St. Paul, it is the tarrect’ practice to see it enforced, not in part but in whole. The executive officers of the Bov- ernment thave mo discretion to exe- cute the Jaw im one section and per- mit it to be violated in another. To complete the indictment,so ingenious- ly drawn there should be added a clause charging, not only Pussyfoot Wdbinson, but ail the officers of the department he claims to represent, :witth a direct violation of the taf and aiding and abetting its violation by others. Johnson claims that he was went here to enforce that law. Has he done it? Yes. én some instances, but has publicly permitted certain ones to contimue in violation of the law and he'and every one who has aided. consulted and abetted him in his lawful career ts guilty of ‘the, crime of introducing liquor into @ prohibited territory. Johnson and his advisors are. under the law guilty. of its violation as Partiseps Criminis and are liable to be punished the same as khose who introduce mad sell.

Early journalism was largely a vulgar, personal, individual thing. /n editor, like an, old-time crafts- man, was producing something that expressed his individuality. He often owned thd paper ,worked at the case with his compositors, and personally solicited his advertise- ments. e lived “down” among the people and usually shared their democratic views. Wall street was about as far from him as it # from tthe hunky in thd Chicago. stockyards.

This great news agency is domi- wated by men of wealth, whose as- sociates are the modern kings of finance. The newspapers themselves are) great organizations that require’ a great. capital andthe editors and, writers, like ‘the compositors anid newsboys, are hired hamds. They accept the policy of the pa- per, they do not make it. Their convictions are about as im- portant a working asset to them as bonvictions are to the laborer wifa digs a ditch. The writer learn very quickly that the paper they work for belongs to capitalists who are using it to fight their political and financial battles and that therir first duty is to pro- mote the interests of the boss. They go just as any other thired hand from paper to paper regardless of whether it is a Democrat or Re- peblican, a Morgan, a ..earst, or a Scripps{McCrae paper. And when the editor enters his workshop he leaves his convictions behind him, content to be merely one of the many Baborers associated in producing each day a certain product. The young ad, when he first goes imto journalism, looks to it as a chance to express thimself. [ie is burning with great ideas that he ‘be- lieves the world needs to hear. But his back is soon broken and he becomes a wage-slave with no more fntereBt inf the product of jhis labor than the workman. who spends his life in producing shoddy shoes. ile finds himself a cog in the ma- chime and learns to tick as regularly as a clock, just like the jniilions of other ‘oilers who labor to build up the fortunes of the few.

Mewspaper and magazine men are becoming Socialists jn great numbers pecause they see a type of capitalism that ds revolting to any man of con- science. Their slavery is not only economic, it is moral also. 4nd this moral and intellectual slavery was once power- fully expressed by John Swinton. “The business of the New York journalist is,” says Swinton, “to dis- tort the truth, to lie outright, to per- vert, to Villify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and race for hi& dally bread, or, for what ig about the same thing, his salary. “We are tools and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. “We are jumping jacks.

Received and Read. The Herald-Review is in receipt of a copy of ‘The Michigan Bulletin,” a neat little magazine published in the interests of the Michigan Press asso- ciation. W. P. Nisbett, father of Will Nisbett, the Grand Rapids jeweler, has recently been elected to the ed- itorial chair of the Bulletin, and he is making an exceedingly interesting publication of it, for the newspaper makers of Michigan. The Harwood City Mich. Record has the follow- ing to say of Mr. Nisbett and the of- ficial paper of the state press gang: “Uncle Billy” Nisbet, of Big Rapids, one of the kindliest spirits on this good old earth, spent a few hours here Saturday, and his friends were as glad as ever to see him. Mr. Nis- bett will next month take aver the management of The Michigan Bulle- tin ,the official organ of the Michi- gan Press Association, a high class magazine, typographically, which has for the past 13 years continously been issued from the Record office and has for that time been edited by a local man, first by B. J. Lowery and later by the present publisher of the the Record. J. B Haskins in Febru- ary last resigned from further direc- tion of the destinies of the little pub- lication and Mr. Nisbett was elected by the association as his successor and The Bulletin has fallen into wor- thy hands. Mr. Nisbett was for many years in active newspaper work ,but some years ago retired from the pro- fession to give his time to the com- pletion’ of one of the largest and handmost office buildings.in Michigan the Nisbett block, in his home city, besides other extensive business in- terests. “While taking over The Bulletin wil be largely a labor of love, the little paper is dear to the hearts of Michi- gan’s newspaper boys and will keep Mr.Nisbett in touch with hosts.of his well-wishers. The retiring editor acknowledges receipt: of kind ex- pressions relative to the ways in whict the publication has been handled in the past, sent from the desks of several of, the leading papers in the state. let dt We Humbly.
