engaged in? When thinking about
wealthy people we naturally re-
memb Der, Gould, Wand rbilt,
Carnegie, Armour, Cudahy, Par,
fridge, Rockefeller, McC ormick,
and nearer at home, Washburn,
Pillsbury, Sawyer, ETC., etc. Now
how has this class of men &C
quired their enormous wealth
during the last quarter of a cent
ury? s'In business and strictly
legitimate under our laws you
say. Very well. Has John
Jones done business with these
men? Eyes, 'you say, with all
of them? To one set he has sold
his produce, his wheat, meat and
whatever elsehe has raised. An
other set has transported his
produce to the consumer of his
product. From another set he
has bought his machinery, CLOTH
ing, furniture, etc. These men
have become millionaires by trad
ing with the John Jones' of the
country haven't they? Eyes. :"
These men have driven a pref
tygood bargain with the Jones,
legitimately under our laws of
course, haven't they? And the
result is that they spend their
earnings in riotous living and
the Jones are suffering and dy-
ing for want of necessaries of
life? EYES,"
They have got their wealth
from the Jones then, haven't
they? Something like that an
expert horse jockey makes mon
ey trading horses with green
farmers? EYES,"
Now kind reader, do you think
that that is altogether as it
ought to be?
Do you think that our laws
ought to be such as to allowthe
keen sharp business men TODD up
the Jones in this way? Your
conscience answers now, "No!'
You know, you and I make the
laws Indirectly at the ballot box.
You remember that old King d.
vid tried to dodge the charge of
killing Uriah by ordering his
lieutenant to put him where the
enemies would certainly Stay
him, but the prophet of God,
nevertheless, told him: "thou art
the man."
That same voice of the God. in
whom there is no shadow of
turning, thunders at us, the vot-
ers of this country. ''You are
the men that killed John Jones!''
''You made laws under which he
was robbed of the necessaries of
life, and youare his murderers!''
Why are we bothering our
selves writing articles for the
Willmar TRIBUNE? We are try.
ing in our humble way to plead
the cause of poor John Jones and
his orphan family before your
consciences. Men have spent
their lives in pleading the cause
of the poor drunkard. You have
listened to burning words Of the
temperance orator and enthused
for the salvation of the inebriate.
The drunkard needs your best
effort to save him. But let us
tell you that where king alchoho]
has hundreds, hard times, that
you and have made at the ballot
box, has slain it's thousands oil
the best and the noblest of sober
industrious fellow human beings.
Will not you, Who mean to dc
right, look around you at some Of
the poor John Jones', that are
being sacrificed to this worship
Of a little lump Of yellow dirt, and
take pity on them and do your
duty before God at the ballot boz
so that some protection shall be
given to the struggling farmer
that is making such a heroic fight
forthe chance tolive like an Amer
lean citizen ought to live? Nh

trembling lips.
"There is something worrying your"

He nodded assentingly.
"And there is nothing I can do to re-

He shook his head vigorously.
"Why not?" she asked coldly, plain
