WILLMAR TRIBUNE.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8, 1899.
TO THE PROPHET JAMES.
Being the observations of Victor on
the writings of one Prophet James.]
1. The mental anguish which over*
whelmed me words fail to depict. The
enormity of my wickedness caused me
to repent.
2. In my blind ignorance 1 knew
not that a prophet dwelt among ue.
My understanding grasped not the
grandeur of his being.
3. Alas! Now had I provoked unto
wrath a superior being, who invokes
to his aid the mysteries of the stars.
Yea, with his occult incantations and
the crafty prowess of his wisdom didst
he foretell events which had al
ready occurred indeed, those which
happened but yesterday.
4. Where mightl now flee for defense,
that he might not treasure up wrath
for my destruction?
5. In a disguise walks this man
among me/i. As a scribe for the pub
licans does he gather his sustenance.
6. But I knew naught of his hidden
Identity, and called out aloud the mis
takes which were written upon his
scroll.
7. He replied not, in the manner of
scribes.
8. The portrayal of the iniquities of
the public anb stirred him not to argu
ment. He deemed my writings unwor
thy of countenance.
0. In the false pride of my heart I
smote him. Seven-fold did I increase
the administering of severe rebukes.
10. Verily, it availed to expose his
weakness. But, alas, his meekness
vanished as the snows in the desert.
11. His wrath was enkindled towards
me, and the choler of hi3 anger light
ed up his ponderous brow, even as the
straw fires light up the horizon after
the sun has set on the plains of Min
nesotah.
12. Now did I think his might would
consume me. Now did I in awe await
the chastisement.
13. But his anger was spent in sar
castic allusions, and no weight of a
great mind oppressed me with drastic
conclusions.
14. My scroll stood yet uncontested
in its truth. His writings did in no
wise disprove it.
15. Therefore does hope revive in
my breast and gladness soften my fea
tures. So far so good. It is well.
16. But what of the prophet? And
what of his prophecy? He spake only
of that which had passed. He spake
not of the future. Therefore were his
wordings false, and the talKs of his
mouth as the winds of Raymonia.
17. Why then should my mind be
perturbed, or anxiety invade my sanc
tum?
18. I looked upon his scroll and
found that his writings did unjustly
accuse me.
19. In my hour of anger I made a
coat for a man whose soul was in
bondage to other men. I wrote upon
it these words: "Despicable is the
scribe who dare not call his soul hie
own."
20. I hung the garment in the mar
ket-place, when lo and behold, this
prophet came and took the raiment
and wrapped it about his person.
21. And the garment was a perfect
fit, even as if it had been made ex
pressly for the prophet. But he was
wroth that the coat fitted him so per
fectly. Yea, verily.
22. And he made great lament upon
the market-place for the the things I
in my anger did write upon the scroll,
and made much ado of my sayings
among the tradespeople.
23. The prophet opened his mouth,
spake, prophesied and said that I had
likened his brain unto the understand
ing of the fowls of the barnyard, and
he was sorely vexed.
24. But my scroll testifies for me,
and the astrologers and wise men do
not so interpret my meaning. Neither
would I harm the least of the feathered
tribe with odious comparisons.
25. Therefore am I at ease, even at
his accusations, and I possess my soul
in peace.
A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SPEAKS.
Milwaukee, Nov. 1.—Gov. Scofield
(republican) has written a letter on
the Philippine question, in which he
says:
"Possibly I may be taking a rather
melancholy view of the situation, but
it seems to me that the continued ex
istence of our present form of govern
ment is threatened by this Philippine
problem. W area great nation, but
we have our limitations.
"The people cannot, I believe, un
dertake with safety the assimilation of
8,000,000 or more of foreigners alien
to us in every characteristic. And it
is folly to talk of maintaining perma
nently our supremacy over those peo
ple without working toward assimila
lion. It is worse than folly—it is
criminal.
"Supremacy over those islands
must mean either a control having in
view the ultimate uplifting of the peo
ple to our level, or a control for the
purpose of enriching ourselves materi
ally at their expense."—Minneapolis
Times.
Henry Feig produces another la
bored effort in a three and a half col
umn installment of his reply this week.
Poor Henry tries hard to find some
thing to criticise in Gov. Hind's hand
ling of the wheat inspection and weigh
ing departments. He has not the har
dihood to attack the RESULTS, which
is the only vital point It makes but
little difference to the farmer who
weighs or grades his wheat, just so it
is honestly and fairly done. Thus far
there has been no complaint, the Feig
Crosby fakeelevator agent to the con
fw aotwtthftaHdttrg. Feig'B
ftttf-IS
winded talk against time and space
has long ago become uninteresting to
the public as well as to himself. Why
not bring out the rest of your points
clearly and concisely and try to finish
some time, Henry? Who ever before
heard of a participant in a public con
troversy who insisted on occupying
all the time?
The Northwestern Telephone Co. has noti
fied its agent here that Minnesota Central pas
ses are not accepted at their offices, therefore
it is supposed that stock-holders of the Cen
tral will be obliged to pay when using the lines
hereafter. Truly, the Tallman deal seems to
have been a "beaut." LATKK: A. P. Nelson
and Nels Paulson were in Willmar, Wednes
day, to consult President Tallman regarding
the passes and found that according to the
contract the passes are good for two years
from the date of the sale to the Northwestern.
—Grove City Times.
When a weaker power surrenders it
self to a much stronger one, it is not
in position to enforce the carrying out
of the articles of capitulation. The
Bell trust has the Minnesota Central
at its mercy, and its officers make no
secret of their contempt for the officers
of the latter. If they can bully the
Minnesota people out of their rights
they will do so.
The Chippewa Co. Herald published
that Crosby-Feig fake elevator agent's
complaint on the wheat grading, and
editorially says it was written by an
agent at Willmar. The TRIBUNE has
shown that no elevator agent at Will
mar did write the article, but on the
other a at they a re satisfied with
the inspection I is is in at
Editor Berghuis should in the face of
that give credence to the stuff.
So deep-seated, so universal is the
human passion for liberty that all
tyrants haye been compelled to cloak
their tyrannies behind pleas of defend
ing the liberties of the people. And
even a tyrant rejoices at news of the
victory of a people engaged in a
struggle for liberty in which he has
no personal interest.—New York
World.
W a to a he people a re
relying upon the republican statesmen
to deal with the trusts. W pre*.ume
the recent purchase of school furni
ture by the board of education, where
the local dealers were sidetracked by
the trust representative, is a case in
point.
The Willmar Tribune is running a picture of
Judge Miller, of I.ukeneld, Minn., as one of its
editorial writers. The Tribune will have trou
ble if the judge finds it out.—Battle Lake Re
view.
"Ola Varmlanning" feels tickled to
hear that his picture has been mistak
en for that of a judge.
A new serial story written by Capt.
F. A. Miller, entitled, "Confessions
of an Aid-de-Camp,'' begins in this
issue.
MOTSAGELSER.
Det behOfves en ovanlig skicklighet
vrangningskonsten f6r att lyckas
somfOrsvarare af den moderna repub
likanismen. Se har nagra af de mot
sagelser som dess forsvarare gora sig
skyldiga till:
De saga att vi maste hafva en hog
skyddstull for att skydda vara fabriks
arbetare mot deras lagre aflonade
medtaflare Europa. Det vill saera,
vi kunna ej tillverka varor sa billigt
som europeerna kunna, utan att ned
satta afloningen for vara arbetare.
Fraktomkostnadeana fran Europa aro
ej nogr att utjemna denna skilnad.
Men pa samma gang skryta de ofver
att vi uttranga de europeiska fabrik
anterna fran verldsmarknaden, ehuru
fraktpriserna aro emot oss. Det vill
saga, nar vi ha skydd af frakttaxorn a
ar det icke skydd nog men nar frakt
priserna skydda de utlandska fabrik
anterna da kunna vara fabrikanter
framgangsfullt tafia med dem.
Den republikanske talare som f6r
sOker att forklara dessa motsagelser
farett styft arbete, ty han t6rs icke
gif a den sanningsenliga forklaringen
attvden amerikanske fabrikanten ar
genom trusterna och de onOdigt hoga
tullarne istandsatt att tvinga den in
hemskekonsumenten attbetala sahdga

till utlandet.
J*
De saga att den amerikanske arbet
aren ar beskyddad fran tailan med
den samre aflonade europeiske arbet
aren.
Men de glomma att dttrren star op
pen for den europeiske arbetaren att
komma hit och tafia med den ameri
kanske arbetaren pa hans eget fait.
Sa lange denna invandring kom fran
de germaniska folken norra Europa
var det ingen fara for den amerikan
ske arbetaren, ty stOrsta delen af des
sa invandrare blefvo farmare, och
okade saledes fabrikernas kundkrets.
Men pa sednare tiden har storsta del
en af invandrarne kommit fran sddra
Europa* Dessa sla sig vanligtvis ned
staderna och grufdistrikten. Som
de kunna lefva ytterst billigt blifva
de ytterst farliga konkurrenter for den
amerikanske arbetaren som icke kan
lefva sa billigt. Tullen ar ej nagot
skydd mot denna tafian den beskyddar
fabrikanten, icke arbetaren.
J* J*
De saga att vi maste erofra Filip
pinerna for att utvidga var handel.
Men om vi kunna framgangsfullt
tafia med de utlandska fabrikanterna
pa deras egen mark hvarfore skulle
det da vara nodvandiet att under
kufva ett folk for att vinna handels
terrang?
De saga att de arbeta for civilisa
tionen genom intagandet af Filippiner
na. Men for att gora det torde det
bli nodvandigt att nastan helt och
hallet utrota den enda civiliserade
folketammen pa oarne.
J* Jl
De saga att Aguinaldo representerar
endast ett fatal af Luzons befolkning,
och att det vore oratt att lata detta
fatal regera ofver majoriteton.
Men hvarfore da icke lata denna ma
joritet storta Aguinaldo? Om han
nar folket emot sig kan han icke bi
behalla sig lange. Dessutom, om det
ar en orattvisa att lata Tagalerna
regera bgruppen, derfore att de icke
utgOra majoriteten af befolkningen,
ar det da icke en mycket storre oratt
visa ftir en nation tio tusen mil aflag

Staternas regering kan ej konfiskera
privat egendom utom sadana platser
som behofvas for offentliga andamal,
och da endast mot erlaggandet af full

seger kunna munkarne ga miste om
sin egendom. Ni kunna deraf sluta

Det ar icke en religionsfraga. Det ar

Nov. 4.
Enoch Anderson, who has been stay
ing with his brother and others in and
near Graceville, Minn., returned
home last week.
Threshing is done in our neighbor
hood.
It is hard on some of us fellows,
not being able(?) to use as high grade,
up-to-date language as some of our
worthy correspondents are masters of.
It is well that we have interpreters
A story is told of two men quarrel
ing about some rubbish that had been
thrown into their back yards. The
quarrel waxed hotter and hotter and
the men came to blows of which both
bore marks. They used cudgels and
clubs in their combat. We might call
that a pretty dirty quarrel.
It would be better for some people
if they would call upon a being that
could help them. Instead of that they
are contiuually calling upon a being,
who in the end will destroy them, un
less they change their minds.
We would think more of a man, as
a man, if he gave his honest opinion
even if it was-wronsr, than of one who
always borrows his opinions. Such
borrowed opinions are seldom paid
honestly.
We acknowledge receipt of congrat
ulations from "Pedagog" with thanks!

WHITEFIELD.
A party was given by Misses Selma

Benefit Entertainment.
Thursday (tomorrow) evening there
will be a performance at the Willmar
Seminary by the Josephine Bonaparte
Rice Company for the benefit of the
Seminary piano fund. The entertain
ment will consist of dramatic readings
by Miss Rice, who is counted one of
the best in America piano and vocal
solos by Miss Ida May Paulson and
scenes from Shakespearean plays in
stage costume. The tickets are being
sold for 50 cents reserved seats and
35 cents admission, and a good sized
audience may be expected tor this
strictly first-ciass and high grade en
tertaiment.
Miss Rice, who has appeared in all
the large Eastern cities, is highly
spoken of by the most severe critics,
and in mentioning her performance
the New York Herald says:
Miss Rice proved herself to be an
entertainer of the highest order. In
the stirring and expressive language
of "How Salvator Won," Miss Rice
gave an exhibition of gesture and ex
pression that marks the finished elo
cutionist. She was equally good in
her varied repertoire, but this particu
lar delineation of a famous ho^se race
was so realistic that one felt as though
the muffled thuds of theequiDes sound
ed in the ear, as Salvator won by a
nose length.
The hall ought to be well filled on
this occasion as it undoubtedly will
be a very meritorious entertainment.

There remained unsold not over a
dozen tracts of state land in the coun

and the remainder have been forfeited.
The state auditor announced that the
former owners would have no claims
whatever to these lands after this sale.
re a a a in

Edited by the chairman of the Enforce- ?J
ment Committee of the A. S. League.
As we stated last week the vitai point at is
sue now in Willmar is whether the will of the
people as expressed-on the liquor question
shall be respected and enforced or whether
the saloon gang have really such a grip on af
fairs of the town that it can continue its busi
ness in spite of anything that can be done to
prevent them. This the saloon men defiantly
claim they have. It remains to be seen if the
citizens of Willmar will submit to the dictation
of such a disreputable outfit.
The arresting and punishing of the parties
found dispensing the liquor is well enough and
proper, but unless the nefarious traffic is dis
continu- and the sale is stopped the effect is
of very little value for practical law enforce
ment. The real proprietors of the places have
other bums ready to take the places of the
arrested ones, should they fail to re-appear,
and the nefarious traffic goes on. To be ef
fective the enforcement must reach the roots
of the evil, which in Willmar will be found to
be the old saloon gang, which furnishes the
buildings and financial backing.-
The Anti-Saloon League made its second ar
rests last Wednesday. The following piggers
were arraigned before Justice Styles, and all
waived examination to appear at the District
Court, viz: Sam Stabler and Chas. Hilson of
Barnstad's old saloon, Nobel Schagel of Mad
isonsplace, Ole Lydenof Klevjers old saloon,
and Geo. Crandall of the place ou Beck's cor
ner. Of these Crandall failed to secure bail
and is confined in jail Lyden was bailed out by
N. O. Nelson (Mr. Nelson offered the explana
tion that Lyden was a relative and that he
saved him from going to jail only on the prom
ise that he quit the business): Stabler and
Hilson were bailed out on the bond of M. D.
Manning and Schagel was given his liberty on
the sureties of J. P. Madison and A. M. Olson.
Attys. Sam Porter aud Sam Olson, of the firm
of Olson and Johnson, appeared for the de
fendants and County Atty. Frye and Ass't
Olney for the State. Of the piggers. Schagel,
Hilson and Stabler are back behind the bars
in their respective joints. Martin Klevjerhas
taken the position held by Ole Lyden in the
Norlander building.
The village authorities have become filled
with a virtuous zeal to prosecute illegal liquor
sellers since the league began its work. Last
Tuesday Schagel of Madison's place was
"pulled'' and trial under village ordinance was
set for Friday. Atty. Muller appeared for the
village and moved to dismiss for lack of evi
dence. Stabler of Barnstad's place, was ar
rested, and his ease was adjourned until this
morning. Schagel was again arrested and
again dismissed. He was re-arrested and his
trial set for next Tuesday morning at nine
o'clock. A sensation was sprung this morn
ing when Marshal Stalland served a warrant,
upon Nels Carlson of the drug store for having
sold alcohol to Dr. LLstrup. the veterinary sur
geon. The complaint was made by the village
sleuth, Marshal Hanscom. Nels is a staunch
prohibitionist who would be the last man sus
pected of selling liquor in evasion of the law.
The trial is set for Saturday. If this proves
to be an attempt simply to make the enforce
ment work appear as a farce, the odium will
lodge where it belongs.
The self interest of the saloon-keeper keeps
him at all times alert to grasp every advan
tage which he can for the benefit of his cause
His sympathizers and backers are ever watch
ful and lose no opportunity to use their influ
ence at all times and by any method within
their reach. Were it possible for those op
posed to the traffic to be equally vigilant, such
a thing as a saloon or an open blind-pig would
be unheard of in Willmar. It is so hard to in
duce the ordinary good citizen to take a hand
in a work, which, while it is for the general
good, yet may not be pleasant to undertake.
But in a crisis like the present one in Willmar
the good citizen should not hesitate to show
his colors. He cannot afford even by his in
difference to give comfort to those who
would trample law and order under their feet.
Line up, and make your influence felt for
good.
Benj. Waterman and John Gorwell were
bound over to the grand jury last Wednesday
on the charge of keeping gambling rooms, by
Justice Styles. Sam Porler appeared for the
defendant and Olney and Frye for the State.
Gambling is a vice which has flourished more
oi less rampantly in our city for many years
without any attempt ever before being made
to check it.
