BOOST THE ASSEMBLY. THAT UNJUST DECISION. Judges Groscup, Otis and San born are among the several federal jurists who have taken upon them selves the responsibility of defend ing soulless corporations as against the peace and dignity of states and the plain, common people. Jurists exercise authority without a tremor that would put the commoner to the blush and overthrow acts of lawmakers like so much rubbish with a free hand and abandon that would have turned a Ceasar green with envy. The freight and pas senger tariff of two years ago has now been declared confiscatory and unconstitutional by the latter, and the state is on the defensive, with slippery ground to stand on at that. What are railroad freight sched ules, but confiscatory in this state, where little factories start up in small towns are forced to move to the twin cities in order to secure freight rates they can afford to pay? Surely this confiscation of industry from the rural districts to swell the big centers of popula tion can have but one meaning. The purpose of this is to make as long hauls as possible and to con trol the politics of the state. The ruralist is in the minority and the under dog. He dances to the music of the railroads and pays the fid dler, he toes the mark of the cor porations and Days the freight, his barley is sold to make beer and he takes his pay in foam, his mineral wealth is being shipped out of the state to keep eastern factories sup plied with the necessary raw mater ial for their existence, he pavs the taxes in order that those factories mav escape them, he works twenty hours a day that the fat boys need not soil their hands or their clothes. If his legislator secures the passage of a law in his interest, the city chaps have the courts to wipe it from the statute. But there is hope of a tree if it be cut down, that it will surout again and the tender branch there of may not cease, but rush forth by the sparkling brook, vigorous, man ifold and undaunted by the dispar agement and discouragement of the past, again ready and determined to battle again for the right and bear the brunt of the fight. It were better to lose in the cause of jright and bear the brunt of the 1902, at Willmar, Minnesota, as second class matter, under act of VICTOR E. LAWSON, Editor and Manager. Foreman of Printery. JESSIE G. MEYER, City Editor OFFICIAL PAPER OF KANDIYOHI COUNTY AND CITY OF WILLMAR. SPECIAL NOTICE An outline of the talent already engaged for the Second Annual Season of the Willmar Park Assem bly is given elsewhere in this issue. It contains much that will appeal to all of our citizens, and is suffi cient to prove that the good pio gram of the first season will have a worthy successor in the one provid ed for this year. The summer ehautauqua is an institution worth the while for every good citizen. Its continued success will be a val uable asset to the whole county. Think of being able to come for a pleasant outing and hear for a few cents eminent men whom the peo ple of the cities would have to payHedin,|Erickson, big prices to hear! The list of speakers so far arranged contains eminent men from not less than ten different states, from North, East, South and West, and they are alling men who have made their mark on the platform and public life, and who bear messages that will enter tain, instruct, enoble and broaden the minds of those who hear them. We speak of this early, for we know there are thoughtless ones who are ready to discourage and needlessly throw obstacles in theL. way of the men who are laboring to make this public benefit a suc cess. Why can we not all unite this year and boost this assembly to the best of our ability, and thus help establish it as a permanent in stitution in our city and county? arm i1.'- .^i^^mdi^i^MSmiaSamitamB rev 1BUNE Established Feb. 19, 1895.
