LAWSON, Editor and Manager. LCDVIG S. DALB, City Editor. WEDNESDAY E 22, 1909. The TRIBUNE prints on the oppo site page a Christinas greeting to the people of Willmar, Kandiyohi county and the neighborhood, to gether with a New Year's resolution of co-operation for the further de velopement of the community. This greeting and resolution was signed by nearly every business man in Willmar, each paying a cer tain amount for the space occupied by his name. This in itself is a good proof that the business men of the city mean to get together and work together for the bests inter ests of the city. It is just this spirit of get-together-for-the-ben efit-of-the-town that Willmar needs. Without it neither the city nor the individual doing business in it can hope to succeed. During the com ing year many questions will come up for consideration .there will be a number of problems to solve. Let us hope that everybody will take hold and help that the questions may be answered and the problems solved to the best interest to the greatest number. We want Willmar to con tinue to be numbered with the cit ies that "do things". We will have many chances to do. Let us take advantage of them, hustle and boost together all the time. If we do, Willmar will surely win. Various reusons are given for the high prices. The proportionate increase in the output of gold, which today is the chief medium of exchange and is in some respects a measure of value, furnishes a substantial explanation of at least part of the increase in prices.— Presicnt Taft's message. Shades of the old populists! What becomes of the "intrinsic value of gold" and the other claims of Mr. Taft's immediate predecessors? A merciful Provi dence did for the people what they refused to do for themselves and opened their eves and inventive genius so that the gold output of today more than doubles the output of both silvei and gold in 1896. And now the financiers are worrying about the ivct that they cannot control the gold! Before long they will force the demonetization of gold. In the meantime they want a big cenrial bank established so Dr. Cook has been pronounced as a full-fledged faker by the eminent Danish scientists who have exami ned his recoid. This is kind of rough on the Danish nation which welcomed him so heartily and all the rest of us who had somehow hoped that the genial doctor would be able to establish his claims as against the arrogant snobs at Wash ington. The latest strike irote is a hopeful one. At a conference held yesterday it appeared probable that the differences between the striking switchmen and the railroads would will be adjusted thru arbitration. fepfflniMESi 9fflt QUESTIO N 9 SOLVED A dainty bottle of perfume, like a beautiful bunch offlow ers, am never go amisi—noth ing it more generally accept able, nothing could be inbetter form nor more complimentary \r the recipient.

Elfstrum & Co PHARMACY, Willmar, Minnesota. "Christmas Eve!" The wonders that come to the children with thee. What visions of dolls, games, books, candies, and ail sorts of goodies drums, trumpets, whistles, with all sorts of squeaks and discordant blasts and the wonderful Christmas tree with its brilliant lights, gay colors, and mysterious packages, some of which may contain the long wished-for skates or huge jack knives. It is all enchantment, all the color of the rose, the rainbow that spans their young lives. Not all the wonder of the story of the Star of Bethlehem, of the following and guiding of the wise men to the lowly cradle of the coming King not all the beauty of the old, old story can fully satisfy the juvenile heart like these. But are we not children of a larger growth? In spite of the solemnity of the occa sion, in spite of its deep and tender meaning, the gifts and goodies and merrymaking are all dear to us, children in heart as we are. Enemies of prohibition are again tiying to stir up trouble between prtrty prohibitionists and anti-saloon people by pointing to the fact that the late prohibition conference did not endorse county opt ion as a means of fighting the saloon. There need be no friction on that score. The pvohibiitonists object to county option because it does not go far enough. To endorse anything less than absolute prohibition would dtbtroy their purpose as an organi zation. But never fear. When ir comes to making anti-saloon laws tl«p prohibitionists will be there to tbo last man, in the fight all the ti -ne. There will be no speculation alojt how they will vote on a county option bill. Don't worry a' out any damage to be done to the cause by the prohibitionists. The St. Paul correspondent of the Dduth Herald published a cleverly fabricated plan in which Congress man Volstead was to be opposed for rr-election by the editor of this that tbey can absolutely control the paper. This plan will be as much output of paper money. We pub- 'a turprise to the Prohibition leaders lUh elsewhere an editorial on this if it comes to their notice as it was question by Tom Watson. He uses to ourselves. The report is abso strong language, but the occasion purely without foundation. We'll seems to demand it. Why longer h-lp to defeat Volstead, however, if deliberately shut our eyes to the an available man who stands for dangers besetting free institutions? popular rights can oe found to 1 make the race. Salemsbladet calls attention to the fact that in the thirteen state legis latures that have lately adopted laws favorable to prohibition those voting right on the measures have numbered 686 republicans, 1,152 democrats, 3 prohibitionists, 5 inde pendents, and 36 fusionists. That paper then draws the conclusion that these laws are therefore not the result of the action of any one party but are the results of the united stand of friends of temper ance in all parties.

This will mean a fund of $500,000 with which to fight the white plague, as compared with $150,000 which was the amount se cured last year. Every honest effort to stamp out this dread disease ought to be en couraged, and it is to be hoped that the people of Willmar and Kandi yohi county will do all in their power to aid in this fight. The actual expenditure per capita need not be gieat it is from the large number of sales that the society hopes to secure the needed funds. What does the Red Cross Christ mas stamp on your letter or package show? It shows that you thought not only of your friend, but also of those who may be friendless. It shows that you have the true Christ mas spirit, that you are trying to help and cheer those who need it, whether they be members of your immediate circle of relatives and friends or whether they belong to that larger family which has but one father, the Father of us all. It shows that you want to do your share that the message of "peace on earth and good will to men" may reach every heart and govern every life. Surely, then, it is worth while. L. S. D. Fifty organizations, including delegations from several outside towns, are ready to participate in the big temperance parade that the W. C. T. U. proposes to have in Minneapolis about May 14 next. The parade authorities met last night in the courthouse. Herbert H. Parish, field secretary of the Minnesota State Sunday School as sociation, told the delegates that there were 30 Sunday Schools anx ious to join and maich in the pa rade. Epworth League and Anti Saloon League representatives were present and signified the desire of their organizations to co-operate and help in every way to make the parade a great object lesson. Augs burg seminary notified the commit tee that it would send 300 students to march. In view of the numerous requests coming in from smailer towns, it was decided to extend a general in vitation to participate to all the towns in the vicinity of the twin cities. The committee's next meet ing is Dec. 29.—Minneapolis Jour nal. It is possible that Willmar and Kandiyohi countv will be represen ted in the parade. Surely they have a record of which they can be justly proud and it is sinceiely hoped that the necccatir arrange ments for their participation in the parade can be made. W0MEffS_ WOES. Willmar Women Are Finding Re lief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a f«ir shate of the aches and pains that afflict humanity they mu^t "keep up," mu3t attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains they must stoop over, when to stoop means toiture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endors ed by people in this vicinity. Mrs George A. Chton, 3rd Ave. & 11th St., St. Cloud, Minn., says: "I first used Doan's Kidney Pills while living in Minneapolis and I received very satisfactory results My health was run down as the re sult of kidney disease and I had such severe headaches and pains in my back that I could hardly get around.

Did you ever think seriously of the nature, functions and powers of Money? When barter was the sole method of exchange, there was no footing on this earth for 'the "financier." A coat was traded for a pair of shoes, a sheep for a pig, a cow for several goats—and that was the end of it. No Rothschild, Bliechroder, or Morgan sat behind the bank counter and robbed the world. But the system of barter was clumsy, and mankind felt the necessity of something which would measure valuer in exchange. Necessity being the mother and father of invention, Money was born. At first, it was extremely crude ^and simple. Sea-shells, beads, tobacco, peltry and other commodities were used as money. Then silver and copper came in vogue. Then gold. And from the use of the precious metals, by weight, the world progressed to the adoption of Stamped Coins, of var ious denominations. Not until this was done, did the financier come upon the stage, with his devilish tricks. Christ scourged the money-chang ers out of the temple, didn't he? I wonder if you know what those rascals were doing in there. Under the law, the taxes had to be paid in a certain kind of coin and the money-changers would gather up the available supply of this coin, in advance so that when pay day came with the less vigilant and far sighted Jews, the financiers had a monopoly of the money of legal payment. The consequence was, that the hoarders of the indispensable coin were enabled to compel their unfor tunate countrymen to pay extor tionate prices for the money of legal payment. Christ's indignation was aroused by this, and in His rage He lashed the monopolistic rascals, driving thorn away from the temple. But he did not destroy the money changer's system. It made possible the concentration of wealth in Egypt, Persia, Assyria, Rome, and modern Europe. It is one of the main causes of the frightful dis tress whicn now prevails in Great Britain, on the continent, and in the United States. The money changers rule Europe and America. They are reducing millions to penury. Their rapacity has no mercy and no limits. Listen! The damage that was done by the Government to the common people of this country, during the years which followed the Civil War, immensely exceeded the losses in flicted on the nation by the four years of carnage. There were 121,000 failures, be tween 1867 and 1886, with liabilities of more than $2,500,000,000! What on eaith was the matter? The soldiers had all returned to work. The swords had been beaten into ploughshares. Grain waved over the battle-fields. Cotton whitened where the camp had been pitched. Enormous harvests had been garner ed. The spindles were humming in all the shops. Wheels of in dustry were turning, turning, turn ing throughout all the length and bredth of the land. Why, then, that fearful number of failures? Why were so many strong swimmers going down Why so many vessels wrecked? Why such a stoim upon the commercial seas? The black-hearted financiers were burning up your money. A venal, servile Congress was enacting contraction laws. The paper currency was being drawn to Washington, where it was literally cast into the furnace. More than a thousand million dollars of Greenbacks, and other paper used as money, were destroy ed, in the course of a few years piices reduced by the lessening of the supply of currency labor thrown out of employment debtors crushed by falling values and a haughty, overbearing, soun less Plutocracy enthroned. With their damnable single-gold standard, the Morgans and Roths childs have enchained the Webtern world, and they are now planning the conquest of the East. The papers announce that Morgan has purchased control of the Equit able Life Assurance Company, thus acquiring the mastery of its three hundred tand twenty-five millions of dollars. This money king now wields, in America aloe, cash assets of more than a thousand millions of dollars. And he is the insolent, cynical brute who declared in Paris, two years ago, That the American work ingmen would have to "submit or starve"—the submission being to just such wages as the employers choose to give. Morgan controls your government. He did so under Cleveland, did so under Roosevelt, does so under Taft. Your ambassadors abroad are agents of the money Morgan trust. A word from him, caused the dismis sal of Crane, the minister appointed to China. When the Rhode Island Mephis tophiles had won out in his higher tariff fight, last spring it was to Morgan that he immediately "re ported", by wireless telegram. And Aidrich named to his boss the insurgent senators who had opposed his infamous bill.

These financiers never get enough, you know. They crave more and more, eternally. What else does the insatiable, dollar-mad rascal want? He hates the Greenbacks, ($346, 000,000) which escaped the fiery fur nace. Ihey are in the way of his money-trust. He wants to put his notes in the place of those govern ment notes. Then he will be the money king, sure enough, absolutely controlling the volume of currency and consequently the values of all commodities. Besides, he wants a great central bank, to which all other banks will be what its tributaries are to the Mississippi. Aldrich, reminded of Andrew Jackson's war on the great central bank of his day, said, with his us ual insolence and cynicism,— "Andrew Jackson was a great man, but he is dead." Scoffing liar!
