A MOMENTOUS NEW YEAR.
When 1914 was ushered in, no one
foresaw the tremendous war develop
ments which were to shake every
organized government on earth,
whether or not immediately con
cerned in the international quarrel
It came in the last days of July, like
a thunder storm in a clear sky After
five months of sanguinary fighting all
hopes of an early cessation of hostili
ties have faded away, and no one can
foretell what the end will be The
year goes out in a sea of blood—
human blood shed because of the sin
ful selfishness of human beings.
07PZCXAX. PAPEE Or KA1TDITOHI COUNTY AND CITY Or WXX.UCAB
This war teaches the nations how
inter-dependent modern conditions
have made them The view that the
ruthless destruction of human lives
and energy, as well as material re
sources, can benefit any part of civili
zation is a narrow and false view.
Every nation on earth is found to suf
fer in a less or greater degree. Lo
cally, if we are blessed with a bounti
ful harvest, financial conditions will
be good, but the uncertainty of what
may happen, and the terrific financial
demands of the vast empires at war
are straining the international credit
system, of which our country is a
part, to a tension never before known,
and these conditions will in greater
or less degree be reflected in all the
local communities as well There
fore these are times when, as never
before, it is necessary to take stock
and set our houses in order at the
close of the old year in order to meet
the demands and responsibilites of
the coming year Ruthless extrava
gance, in public as v,ell as private
life, must cease On the other hand
it is the patriotic duty of every per
son of means to encourage industry
and thrift by freely employing their
money in safe enterprises. The two
worst enemies of the public welfare
is the spendthrift, who lives beyond
his means, and the miser who refus
es to use his wealth to help his com
munity and fellow-man.

As stated before, local conditions
with prospects of good prices for
farm products are good, and the pru
dent man has nothing to fear. Let
us face the new year with courage
and faith, with the resolve that we
make our efforts count for the contin
ued healthy development of our com
munity and its resources.
NATIONAL PROHIBITION
The vote on the proposed amend
ment to the Federal Constitution pro
hibiting the sale of liquor in the na
tion was one of the most significant
events of the times. To the gallant
soldier-statesman Richard P. Hobson,
of Alabama, belongs the credit for
having injected this issue into nation
al politics, by forcing this vote and
compelling the congressmen to come
out and show their colors. The vote
was not along party lines, both par
ties dividing on the proposition. The
affirmative vote was cast by 114 Dem
ocrats, 67 Republicans and 15 Pro
gressives. The negative vote was
cast by 141 Democrats, 46 Republi
cans and 2 independents. No one ex
pected to see the amendment sub
mitted, but the vote being taken at
all brings the question into national
politics, and there, like the slavery
question, it will never be downed un
til it is settled right.
Congressman Volstead guaged the
sentiment of his home people very
correctly when he voted in favor of
the dry amendment, together with his
colleagues, Anderson, Lindberg and
Steenerson. Davis, Hammond, Mana
han, Miller, Stevens and Smith voted
against the prohibition amendment
Some of these perhaps represented a
majority of their constituents in this
vote and others did not. Governor
Elect Hammond refused a fine chance
to have lined up with the dry peo
ple of the State. The amendment
would have carried by a large majori
ty if submitted to a vote in Minneso
ta. If you don't believe this, let the
state solons submit the state prohib
ition question at the next election,
and then we will see.
Want Benefit Only.
The hearing on the big ditch which
runs principally through town of Lou
riston was held last week in Monte
video and was attended by nearly eve
ry person whose land will be affec
ted by the ditch. Paradoxical as it
may seem the very persons who peti
tioned for the ditch also appeared to
oppose it. They want the benefit but
not the assessment or only a small
amount. Judge Qvale of Willmar has
heard most of the ditch hearings in
this county.—Clara City Herald.
EQUITY EXCHANGE
CONVENTION
Outline of What Was Done at
the Recent Farmers Meet
ing at St. Paul.
More than 4,000 farmers from Min
nesota and theTJakotas registered at
the big Equity Convention held at
St. Paul, week before last, and over
$20,000 worth of stock in the Equity
Exchange was sold.
In the resolutions passed the Min
neapolis Chamber of Commerce and
Chicago Board of Trade are named as
institutions "aiding and abetting or
ganized monopolies in restraint of
trade, that they harbor, protect and
assist lawbreakers and monopolies
taking from the farmers certain val
ues of their interests of the common
good."
The secretary of the convention
was instructed to demand that the
federal government take immediate
steps to prosecute those responsible
for restraint of trade and that evi
dence obtained in investigations be
furnished the department of justice.
The Minneapolis Chamber ot Com
merce is charged with hiring men and
certain newspapers to place farmers
in disrepute who have sought to mar
ket their grain at terminals invoking
police assistance to prevent open dis
cussion of terminal problems,
using dummies, subsidized newspaper
representatives and discredited law
yers to attack farmers in their termi
nal organization and injuring through
false, improper and misleading ways
the standing and credit of the far
mers' terminal selling movement.
Congress is urged to pass a feder
al inspection law to place the grading
of interstate shipments of grain under
the control of the United States and
to pass a law to prevent gambling in
farm products and elimination of in
stitutions which foster it.
which sell flour made from wheat
bought from Equity farmers.
Pres. Wilson's foreign and Mexican
policies are indorsed.
A larger standing army or greater
navy is charaterized as "a menace to
peace."
An international merchant marine
commission is advocated and the post
master general praised for his policy
of extending the advantages of the
parcel post. An increase is asked in
the weight limit to 100 pounds in the
first two zones and 50 pounds in
others.
A land mortgage rural credit sys
tem is also urged in which bonds can
be sold in zones instead of local
units.
A national convetion to meet an
nually at Washington, D. C, is pro
posed for the discussion of farm prob
lems. States, counties and localities
are asked to hold similar gatherings
and name delegates to the larger
meetings.
Speeches Made.
The following are extracts taken
from speeches made at the Conven
tion which reflect somewhat the spir
it of the gathering:
Geo. S. Loftus, manager Equity Ex
change:—"We will build in St. Paul
the greatest grain market in the
world if you stand by the Equit.y.
"St. Paul has given the Equity a wel
come that I, in my wildest dreams,
did not expect, and a support that has
made it possible to get along as fast
as we have in bringing about reforms
in the grain handling business.
"We have sounded the deathknell
of the fictitious switching charges and
the illegal demurrage fees. We have
brought about the order of the rail
road and warehouse commission pre
venting the re-inspection of grain af
ter it leaves the yards.
"We have accomplished a dozen
other reforms, all of which are of help
to you farmers, and we have just start
ed. We will keep on bringing about
reforms along these lines if you farm
ers stick together and to the equity."
C. C. Daniels, special assistant of
the United States department of jus
tice:—He told of the fight against the
tobacco trust in the South, which he
declared was similar to the fight now
being conducted by the farmers of the
Northwest.
"There were dastardly combinations,
in the South to throttle the indepena
ent tobacco companies and combina
tions to manipulate the prices of cot
ton. Vou farmers are fighting great
combinations that seek to control
your wheat market. It is a great
fight, a worthy one and one to which
you should stick until you have won
every point you are after."
Benjamin Drake, Minneapolis:—
"No commission house in Minneapolis
could accumulate the wealth that is
held by them from the commission
received. This wealth has been made
off the options.
"I want to see you win rut in this
fight. I want you to stick to it until
you get a grain market that doesn't
make gambling its cornerstone."
President Vincent, U. of M.:—You
must be philosophers," he said. "The
philosopher sees all sides of a sub
ject. Philosophy makes people change
their minds sometimes, just as you
farmers have recently changed your
minds in regard to marketing your
grain. This convention comes as a
result. This plan of co-operation is
the best thing in the world and the
one big way to get what is fair."
M. D. Munn, St. Paul, reviewed the
fight made by the Equity in the courts
when at times, he said, its existence
was threathened. "Freedom of mar
ket is one of the rights of the pro
ducer," Munn declared, "and you farm
ers deserve to have freedom in mar
keting your crops. You should be able
to dispose of your grain in your own
way, and without the interference of
the great interests that are opposing
you. You are sure to win your fight
for a fair terminal market just as we
have won many of our points in
court."
J. E. Kelley, former congressman of
South Dakota:—"St Paul now has the
only open and free grain exchange in
the world,
"No man not a member of tt Min
neapolis Chamber of Commerce can
sell one bushel of grain on that mar
ket. Your St. Paul market is open to
the world ?nd so is the only market
of its kind in the whole country."
A pledge of support is given inde
pendent mills outside of Minneapolis 1 his statement that it is good to fight
with a smile on your face. I think
if a thing is worth fighting for it is
worth getting mad, and good and mad,
about. I fight without a smile on my
face or smile and do not fight at all.
"You men will win if you just keep
on fighting. Your cause is right and
you should fight and stay mad every
day until you get the fair kind of a
market that you are striving for."
E. G. Dunn, of Iowa:—Any person
should be able to buy and sell in any
market of the United States, without
interference. I am a member of the
Chicago Board of Trade, but I know
that organization, the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce, and all like
associations will eventually have to go
out of business if they can't render
as cheap and efficient service as other
organizations.
"I don't agree with Pres. Vincent in
E. G. Hall, president Minneapolis
State Federation of Labor:—"You
farmers in this movement have met
opposition from almost every source
but you have not yet met the gunman.
We have. He is coming to you as
sure as the world. When the big in
terests find they can't win in other
ways they will go to very extreme
measures to defeat any organization
such as this. Watch them and keep
on fighting!
"The trades union movement inter
ests you farmers, because our fight is
the same as yours in almost every
way. Abuse has been and will be
heaped upon you farmers the same as
upon us. The big interests have done
everything possible to hurt us and
they will do the same to discredit and
hurt you. They call us an unlawful
organization and tell you farmers
even that we try to restrain trade.
Now they will come to us and say
that you farmers are trying to do
that same thing because they don't
like the idea of your organizing and
co-operating to take some of their un
just profits that you deserve.
"Your Equity society is truly a co
operative move, the same as is organ
ized labor. Unions are no more than
co-operative bodies, formed to aid the
laboring man just as you are organ
izing to aid the farmer.
"All labor asks is a square deal and
a just payment for labor done, just a
living such any worker deserves. As
I understand, you farmers are asking
only for the same thing. The labor
ing man is glad to see the farmer
fighting for a square deal.
"We know something is wrong.
Why? Because you farmers are meet
ing here in protest. You say you do
not get enough for your grain and oth
er produce. We laborers claim and
know that we are paying the topnotch
price for food and other necessities
of life. If you don't get enough for
your produce and we pay too much,
where is that money we pay going?
"It does not go to you.
"Something is wrong and by organ
izing and co-operating we can find out
what it is.
"They say we break the law. We

will not deny that sometimes labor
ing men or labor organizations violate
laws. But if the people in other walks
of life do not violate any more laws
than the laboring man and the labor
organizations, there will not be any
great amount of law violation.
"Sometimes we must boycott con
cerns to gain justice for the members
of the organizations. Sometimes we
must use other means to get what we
deserve. We need a union of farmers
just as we do of craftsmen. We need
a union of producers and the day Is
coming when we will have union if
consumer. We must co-operate if
we are to get our just deserts and a
fair profit for our labor and for what
we produce.
"Now it is easy to stand up in a
hall and make resolutions. But these
same resolutions are better never
made if we forget them as soon as we
go out of the doors of the convention
hall. Go home and keep up the fight.
"When you find a neighbor who
could not attend your convention, tell
him of it. Tell him about the big
work you are trying and will event
ually do. Get him interested. The
big interests are well organized. They
have to be to protect themselves.
You must be well organized TO BEAT
them. Keep up the fight every min
ute. Organize and next year if each
one of you farmers brings just one
more farmer to the convention this
big Auditorium will not be half big
enough."
C. J. Lee:—"Some of our represent
atives are worthless. Some are worse
than worthless. We have one such
man in North Dakota. He is with the
big interests. Let's kick him out.
Let's kick out all wno are not with
us. If our hired men at the state
and national capitals are no good,
let's pay them off and fire them. Then
hire men who can and will do what
we, who pay, demand.
"We farmers want the referendum
and recall. We want the recall to ap
ply to every office. We want to be
able "to recall the president of the
United States as easily as to recall
any other official.
E. O. Nelson:—"The business men
of St. Paul had foresight enough to
see the advantage of bringing the
Equity over here. They are benefit
ing daily as a result and the Minne
apolis crowd is losing money and
much business.
"This open market in St. Paul will
be the biggest thing in the United
States, both for St. Paul and you farm
ers."
L. D. H. Weld:—"To show what the
farmer is doing our report says that
in 1906 there were 151 farmers' ele
vators and 1,200 line elevators in Min
nesota. In 1912 there were 300 farm
ers elevators and only 777 line eleva
tors.
'"On Jan. 1, 1914, there were 270
elevators in the state in which the
farmer owned more than 50 per cent
of the stock. One farmer in every
five in this state belongs to some ele
vator company. One-third of all the
grain handled in Minnesota is market
ed through farmers' elevator compa
nies."
Magnus Johnson, State Representa
tive from Meeker County:—I am
ashamed of the farmers of Minnesota
for letting North Dakota farmers take
the lead in this convention and in
the organizing and backing of the
Equity Co-operatives exchange. But
of course, Minnesota farmers are near
er Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
and consequently nearer the tight
drawn strings of that organization.''
"The farmers are beginning to come
into their own, You farmers have
plenty of time to think and you had
better think of this Equity movement
It is to your benefit to do so. When
you are following the plow, when you
are hauling grain, wood or something
else to the city or to the station you
have ample time to think. Well, some
of you have been thinking so hard
that this convention has resulted.
And it will do more good than any
one other movement ever started.
"The Equity movement now is but
an infant in this line. However, it will
grow until it is greater than we can
now dream of.
"The farmers and not city people
started the Equity movement. And
we will make the Equity Co-operative
exchange the greatest body the Unit
ed States has ever known before we
are through. We know we are right
in our fight against the Chamber of
Commerce and you farmers know it
too."
A TALK WITH A WILLMAR MAN
Mr. Conwey,, of Litchfield Ave. Tells
of an Interesting Experience.
There is nothing like a talk with
one of our own citizens for giving
hope and encouragement to the anx
ious sufferer from the dread kidney
disease. We, therefore, give here an
interview with a Willmar man.
John Conway, locomotive fireman *A
402 Litchfield Ave., says: "No doubt,
it was my work, the bending over and
straining my back that affected my
kidneys and caused my back to
ache and get lame and sore. My kid
neys didn't act right and I was all out
of sorts when I got a DOX of Doan's
Kidney Pills. They helped me right
away and two boxes put me in gopd
shape. I have been alright ever since
and I give Doafi's Kidney Pills the ere
dit for making a complete cure."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Conway recommends. Foster-Mil

Road Drainage.
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 26, 1914.
Editor Willmar Tribune:
In the last issue of your paper I
noticed a clipping from the New Lon
don Times in regard to a state road or
part of road in the Town of Lake An
drew and drainage of land adjoining
said state road. Without knowing
anything about this case in particu
lar will say that the first move in mak
ing good roads is drainage. We have
a state law providing for drainage of
public roads whereby the expense can
be assessed up against the road
and adjoining owners benefitted, and
damage allowed, if any. Where this
law is honestly followed everybody
concerned will have a square deal. I
think the law can be found in the lat
est Township Manuals.

Alo Abrahamson writes the Tribune
from 4255 Sheridan Ave., So., Minne
