HOUDAY BUYING AT WILLMAR.
This is the time for Christmas
.hopping and the TRIBUNE this
week presents announcements of the
leading Willmar merchants for the
Holiday trade. We believe that
never before have the Willmar
houses shown the splendid assort
ments and magnificent arrange
ments of goods that they are this
year showing. We believe that it
will pay our readers to come from
a great distance to do their Christ-
mas and winter trading at Willmar.
Here you can find bargains as to
price and at the same time large as
sortments which will insure that
you will be suited as to size colors,
quality, etc. It will be well worth
your time take a day off and
come in and spend some time in the
Willmar stores.
A FALSE PRESUMPTION.
When a town like Wolverton can
not or will not keep out the blind
)igs, what can be expected of a
town with a more mixed popula
tion. That is the very thing that
makes us hesitate about supporting
cout ty option. We believe that
local option is much preferable and
that we have now. It is our belief
that each community knows best
what is suited to their needs and
whether they can enforce a prohib
itory law or not. If they cannot
enforce such a law, then another
community has no right to force
such conditions upon them without
their consent. Whenever a town
jr community has enough sentiment
to enforce "no license" they now
have it in their power to pass such
regulations. When it comes to a
choice between a blind pig and an
open saloon we will choose the open
saloon every time. This may not
be popular but it is our honest be
lief.—Breckenridge Telegram.
Friend James, you are arguing
with false premises. The smallest
effective unit of law enforcement is
the county. Very few villages have
the means for any effective law en
forcement. They are required to
apply to the county attorney and
sheriff to deal with criminals.
When your entire county votes no
license and elects officials pledged
to uphold the policy, the question
of effective law enforcement will
be much simplified. Then you will
have the necessary sentiment be
hind the very officers charged with
upholding the laws. It is painful
to hear men talk of choosing be
tween saloons and blindpigs. Open
blindpigs cannot exist with honest
officials. If blindpigs exist, the
remedy is to elect honest men to
office.
The complete official figures of
the state election give Johnson a
plurality of 28,002. His total vote
was larger by 7000 than any candi
date for governor has ever received
before. Andrew Nordloef, who ran
for treasurer on the Independence
party ticket, received 2861 votes,
almost five times the number of
votes cast for Allen, the Independ
ence candidate for governor, and
within 58 votes of the number
polled for Higbee, the same party's
cadidate for lieutenant governor.
Settled at Bird Island.
With the completion of the new
independent telephone system in
this village our citizens bid fare
well* to the Minnesota Central Tele
phone Co., which has operated an
"exchange" here for the past seven
years. Frankly speaking, there are
no tears shed over the expiring
motions now being gone thru with
by that company. The Union edi
tor has, during the past five years,
endeavored at different times to as
sist the trust in obtaining better
patronage in this village, but as
fast as one official would promise
the public an improved service
along would come another higher
official and wipe the slate clean.
At no time has the Minnesota Cen
tral had more than 79 instruments
in operation, just before its last
death spasm it had about 50, while
the new company starts out this
week with nearly 125 in-this village
and many applications for instru
ments on its farmer lines, which
will be completed as soon as pos
sible. This goes to show that Bird
Island is willing to patronize a tele
phone company provided it will be
on the square. It is to the interest
of the new company to give satis
faction and it is to the interest
of our citizens to patronize it as
long as it does so. Let us hope
that the'telephone question is set
tled to the satisfaction of all for
the next twenty years.—Bird Island
Union.
Prinsburg, Dec. 7.—Rev. N. Bur
graaf has accepted the call to Doon,
Iowa, and intends to leave here in
the near future. For four years
both the pastor and his estimable
helpmeet have served this congre
gation, using all the time and
energy to the best interests of our
people. The labor here has not
been in vain. The congregation
has grown in numbers and strength
and in many ways has sent its in
fluence in mission work at home
and abroad. Many hearts are sad
dened because of the near parting
and we hope God's richest blessings
may follow Rev. and Mrs. Burgraaf
to their new field of labor.
John and Nettie Brink and their
niece, Mary Flym, expect to leave
