And much practical ac- complishment will come of it. We have not noticed on the list of toasts, however, that anything in particular is to be said about one question of a market for the farmers who are filling up our waste places. If the farmer is to prosper he | must have a market for everything useful that grows on his land. And if Grand Rapids is to prospe it must provide it.

SSRERS ei SAE ne ee |THE REPUBLICAN “LOVE FEAST” | Senator Nelson’s encomium upon | James Jerome Hill did not sit well ; upon the stomachs of the progres- | sive republicans. The banquet to |the senior senator was the politi- {cal event of the week and it served | well to indicate the interests which have a string upon the Republican machine in this state. Senator Nel- |} son entered the banquet hallarm in arm with the Empire Builder. The main part of his address lauded Mr. Hill. |looking for a few boquets, he look- jed in vain. | The happiest little toast was de- \livered by Albert Pfaender, leader {of the Democratic minority.. He paid a just tribute to Senator Nel- son’s service to the state. In fact he was about the ouly speaker who | was not struggling against politi- eal prejudice or bias. | There was general comment over ) the manner in which Henry Rines, |speaker of the house and Lieuten- jant Governor Burnquist were ig- {nored in the arrangements, T. T. Oftshun, the least objectionable to |the Smith-Eberhart machiné, was |selected to represent the majority. | His voice failed him, however, and |W. I. Nolan took his place. The |Eberhart organization is not feat- uring either Rines or Burnquist. | Democrats who attended the af- | fair saw the present disorganized jstate of the Republican party. | When Governor Eberhart rose to | speak, several insurgents left the | hall rather than accord him the | Sreeting due a chief executive.

He came out fates Pantie i a annual convention, favor “pure” ade for the legalization of the Progres sive party upon which point his message was as silent as the tomb and then took occasion to explain that the punch bowl at the inaug- ural reception did not contain any- Some alleged humor aimed at the Bull Moosers fell flat as a pancake up- on a frosty morning. Governor Eb- erhart was plainly laboring under the cool reception which the mem- bers of the lower House gave him. The Rines organization had been ignored in the arrangements and they ‘showed their temper when the chief executive rose to present the loving cup. 2 SEES EMRE MEXICO AND WEST VIRGINIA Kanhawa county, West Virginia jand the city of Mexico monopolized the front page space the past week when it came to stories of fight- ing and murder. Not even the af- fairs near Constantinople received half the attention.

Seott’s honor- jed grave with greater good will if he had died doing something sensible or useful. But we could never bring ourselves to look upon a man- who went wading deep in snow, just because it was deep and and the weather cold, as a real slam-bang hero. It would be dif- ferent if he had a good scheme for canning snow balls, thus dre- ducing the high cost of living, or investigating the deplorable ravages of the icebug in the Antarctic. But when a man tramps down there and freezes to death finding the pole, why, he may be a hero, but our eyes remain dry and our heart only passably heavy. We are a common, unromatic, unappreciative mortal, and our heart goes out to heroes and her- oines of another stripe.

We might reply by saying that. the editor of, the Messaba Ore has the disposi- tion of a hyena-and the intelligence of a bedbug, but far be it from us to say anything like that about a nice old gentleman who has always been so considerare of the feel- ings of others. Besides, we don’t believe in that kind of “journal- ism”—so there now.
