Down With the Tories!

1t took us generation to get rid
of the Tories after the Re volution,
and we cannot afford to let them come
to the front now and control the pol
icy Of the government which they
have done so much to undermine.
The Tories of the old days were
American citizens who openly or Sc
cretly sympathized with England, and
aided the government Of that country
in trying to establish it's political su-
premacy over the United States. The
Tories of today are doing precisely the
same thing in a different way. They
are leagued with foreign capitalists
in their attempt to make the Ameri-
can masses their financial serfs, and
they are also endeavoring to strength
en- foreign power in this hemisphere
by urging the abandonment of the
Monroe doctrine, the one thing which
prevents the British from selling ter
ritory in Central and South America
If we understand our people, they
are as much opposed to the new
Tories, as their grandfathers were to
the old Tories. There should be no
room on this continent for the
enemies of our government and it's
Institutions. The Tories who are car
rying out the policy of the foreign Shy
locks are as obnoxious as the Tories
who sided with King G. Gorge.
What we need now is revival of
the American spirit.
Let us have Jeffersonian or a
JackSOnian revival-in other words, a
revival of the genuine American sem
timent. We can make ours the first
nation of the world if we are self-re-
specting, true to ourselves and fear
less in maintaining our rights. 1t is
time for us to put other nations upon
notice that the American flag is the
biggest thing on this side Of the globe
and must be respected.
Whenever the Monroe doctrine is
detied we should draw the sword if the
offending nation persists in it's policy.
In order to be a great nation we
must have our own financial. domestic
and foreign policy. If we yield to the
Tories who represent the money kings
and other monarchs of Europe, then
we waste all the blood and treasure
expended in the Revolution.
Let us eXalt the American name
and revive the American spirit, and
guard well the inheritance handed
down by the men who fought at Bunk
er Hill, Kings Mountain and New
Orleans. "Down with the Tories"
is as gOOd rallying cry as it was a
century agO.-A tlanta Constitution.

"A stomach works seven davs in

California.

Your paper succeeds because you are
true to principle, fear nobody, court
no favor, seek no office, speak your
sentiments without fear or favor, and
do not study policy. Three fourths of
the people in this section feel just as
you write. Wheat hear is worth less
than 45 cents a bushel, and it is only
a question of crop or two more be-
fore every wheat farmer in this Sec
tion will be busted.
Raisins are going the same way.
Lots of them are fed to hogs and
turned loose in vineyards. The finest
grapes that l saw this year were fed
off by sheep and the vines have been
dug up.
Wool is about the same. One man
gave all the wool and 300 sheep to get
the band sheared and dipped.
Hogs are worth from q to cents a
pound.
Cattle are worth u cents pound.
Eggs are worth cents dozen.
Dollars, we don't know what they
are worth. There are few in the
market and they command whatever
price the holder chooses to ask.
Three-year-old Norman colts cannot
find buyers at $25 for the best.
Hens, So dozen.
Everything the farmer has to buy
cost the same as formerly. Taxes
here are about 81 an acre.
/ mention these matters, not to
complain, but merely for your person
al information.

sleep until it is read through. We
read the fourth page first always. We
feel deep interest in the success of
your colony.

The food was free and plenty for them

But one was rather dull and very small,
So the big smarter brother, nothing loath,
He took it all.

He gave him here crust and there a

To stop his tears.
He gave with pride, in manner calm and

Finding the other hunger delight;

How sweet and beautiful a thing it is.
How fine to see that big boy giving free,

OUR PLATFORM
WHAT 1T SHOULD BE,
Simplicity and Directness Needed
By Hon. Nels Guam, of
Kandiyohi County.
[FrOm Willmar Tribune.1

An ideal platform is one with a
great issue. With no other plank
than such that will tend to strength
en- and build up that one. Whenever
plank of minor Importance will take
votes away from the great issues, it
has no business there and ought to be
left out; because party platform is
like a chain, the strength Of which
must always be measured by the
strength of it's poorest link. And
generally so must also party's
strength be measured, by the strength
of the weakest or most unpopular
plank in it's platform. In politics as
we'll as in war the enemy will seek out
and attack the weakes point in the
opposing party's platform, so that that
party instead of discussing it's main
issue, is thereby forced to take up,
discuss and defend it's weakest plank,
whereby the great issue is lost sight
of, and thus the great cause, as we'll
as the party, suffers.
1t is general mistake of all new
parties, the Peoples Party not except
OuS " UdAO Op UOO mduy 100 uCS duU
plankS-SOme even of doubtful merits
in their platform. The money
plank being the acknowledged main
or great issue of the Peoples party, it
ought therefore to be very careful not
to insert planks into its platform
that will be burden to the first and
great issue. No permanent reform can
be attained in other industrial ques-
tiOns until we get a just and equita BILE
system of finance; because it is the
m Oney of the land that is the motive
power whereby the industrial ma
chine is operated, and it follows that
if this system is being mOnopoliZed by
trusts or otherwise crippled, all the
Industrial branches would be con-
trolled or crippled through this, the
money system, even il they were ma
tionalizcd.
Another great mistake is the going
too much into details, which leads too
much into side issues wherein there
might be a diversity of opinions
lieve in the main issue itself We
have, for ms tance, in our finance
plank several such details, such as
tleXibility, $50 per capita, the sub
treasury plan, free coinage of silver,
16 to l, ETC., etc. All this has made
our finance plank so complex and in
tricate that great many people have
got hung up on some of these side is
sues, and lost sight of the funda-
mental principle underlying the
plank. The main question in regard
to a finance system is who shall issue
our money and control the volume
Shall this be done by Che banks and
for the tanks, or by the people and
for the people who shall use them.
This is the real issue that the people
to Congress-; and if we are able to
elect men to that body who will stand
firmly up and carry out this pri nciple
right in the face Of the money power
now in the land, we can safely trust
them with arranging the details of
the question.

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Few WORDS about this Company Inter
ests in Kenosha.

AS many of our people do not fully
realize the advantages Of a competitive
sytem of telegraphy in this country, it
may be we'll to call the attention of the
public to some of them. 1t is we'll at
tested fact that the use of this greatest
and most important means of quick
communication has been comparatively
limited for the obvious reason that the
entire system has up to recent period
been under the control Of a single COR
poration, which, however perfect in it's
double capacity of serving the public
and enriching itself, may, from contin-
ued enjoyment of exclusive privileges,
become Indifferent to public needs. All
healthy competition in every industry
and especially in the electric field ac-
crues to the benefit of the people at
large. There has grown up in the
United States within a few years one of
the most powerful and far reaching
sytems Of competitive telegraphy ever
known in the United States, which with
it's ocean cables reaches all parts of the
globe. This is the Postal Telegraph
and Gable company with headqual ters
in New York, occupying one of the fin
est buildings in that city. The COM
panY has unlimited capital back of it
and is extending it's lines with marvel
Gus rapidity north, east, south and
west. 1t is welcomed everywhere by
live business men vino instinctively
recognized the fact that the vast in
dustries Of the country cannot afford to
be at the mercy of single corporation,
whether it be telegraph, railroad or
telephone. The Postal Telegraph Co.
enters the field, establishes its offices,
and bids for it's legitimate share of
capable of furnishing the very best and
most efficient service and we believe an
intelligent public will readily under
stand that to encourage and assist in
maintaining healthy competition is en-
tirely consistent with their rights. For
our part we believe the great business
public will be vastly benefited by the
increased facilities thus afforded our
people, who should not be slow in ex-
tending such recognition as will make
the Postal Telegraph one of the flour
ishing institutions of Kenosha. In say
ing this we have no other interest than
to see all new institutions received in
the spirit Of friendship and mutual

received call from Appleton, Wis, to
the ST. Paul Lutheran church of that
city. The call was an urgent one.
They wanted Mr.. Dornfeld, for he has
a good reputation as preacher and is
a careful shepherd of his flock. He
laid the matter before the officers of
the church, but they would not listen
to any proposition to take him away
from here. Mr.. Dornfeld loves and is

things into consideration he wrote the

felt obliged to decline their call

HON. w. S. MAXWELL DEAD.
The Well Known Business Man Passes
Away at Superior.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily)
The hon. Walter S. Maxwell, one of
the best known men of Kenosha coun-
ty, prominent in its politics, business
life and social affairs, died very sud-
denly this morning at the Arcadian
Brown Stone quarries near Superior.
So stated a telegram received by Mr..
Maxwells son just after noon. Nopar-
ticulars were stated in the message.
They will leave with his remains to-
night from Superior
Mr.. Maxwell was we'll known and
greatly beloved by very large circle
Of friends. That he stood high in this
community is evidenced by the fact
that he has been elected an assembly
man and state senator. He was a di-
rector in the Dan Head & Co. bank
and q farmer. His farm is located
about three miles west of the city. He
had been financially interested in the
Arcadian Brown Stone quarries near
Superior for number of years and was
there at the works as secretary and
treasurer. His death will be greatly
deplored by every citizen of Kenosha

Sowing the Wind.

The play going portion of this COM
munity has been looking forward with
some eagerness to the approaching pro-
duction of "Sowing the Wind" at the
opera house Tuesday evening, August
81. Although Sydney Grundy was a
well known playwright before his
" Sowing the Wind" appeared, every
thing that he had previously written
seems to have been forgotten in the
presence of this masterpiece. Theplay
deals with a phase of social life that is
continually pressing itself upon thought
full minds, and yet which is of such a
delicate nature that few dramatic au-
thors are able to handle it in a suitable
way for stage purposes. The relations
of the sexes and their relative moral
responsibility for the maintenance of
domestic purity is Mr.. Grundy's theme,
and he treats it with the earnestness OF
a philosopher and the skill of master.
1t brings together as the principal and
opposing characters in the play a
young woman and her father, neither
being aware of their relationship to
each other; the girls mother having
been betrayed and cast aside by the
father. This man is now the adopted
father of his daughters lover and is re-
fusing to permit the marriage until the
mystery of the girls parentage is
cleared up. The contest between these
two so strangely brought together is
the basis of the plot. Some of the
scenes between them are as thrilling
and pathetic as anything that can be
imagined. 1t is a warfare of sex
against sex and is conducted with pas
! sionate splendor on both sides.
