OFFICE IN TRIBUNE BUILDING
OCTOBER 12, 1897.
TO OUR READERS.

10 the readers OF the WILLMAR IRI-
BUNE and his friends, it may not be
amiss, and perhaps it would be the
duty of the undersigned to announce
his policy and purpose as member
of the TRIBUNE staff. An editor of a
newspaper holds, in measure, a
public trust, and the public has a right
to know his position. The TRIBUNE
has field distinct from any other
paper published in this city, in as
much as it is an exponent of free
thought in politics, and has been and
hopes ever to be the avowed enemy Of
everything that encroaches upon the
rights aud interests of the producing
classes OF our nation without contend
ing for that which would deprive the
other classes of their rightful privi-
leges.
The TRIBUNE will continue to wage
war against the userpation of fran
chises that by their nature should be-
long to the people.
The writer does not deem it virtue
to be born and bred, to live and die
in the same political party. In the
progress of the world, social relations
evolve, conditions change, and by
virtue of these changes political par
ties are born, flourish and die, and
new parties in keeping with the new re-
lations come to life and exert indu-
ences on the making of our institu-
tions. A state may be able to point
back to it's origin, it can never point
to its completion. It can never be at
rest, but what some call growth others
may call decline. It all depends on
ones idea of y true state. If by the
state we mean central power OF one
man, or set of men, with whom all
power and responsibility lie, then
a healthy growth of a state means
a tendency to remove the power and
responsibility from the people and
toward the central figure, be it form
of monarchy, an aristocracy, /; bu-
reaucracy, a plutocracy, or a ring
system Or politics. Ii on the other
hand our ideal state is one in which
every individual is responsible for the
welfare of every other individual; one
in which every branch of the commun-
ity is answerable to every other, and
to all collectively, then a healthy
growth is a tendency to locate the
power and the burden of responsible
ity as near to the people as possible.
There are those entertaining the lat
ter idea who believe that the power is
gradually gliding out of the hands of
the masses into the control of an ele-
ment foreign to the best interests of
the American people. False relations
seem to have arisen between the pro-
fessional money-lender and his debtor,
the great employees and the employed,
the money-bought statesman to his
constituency, and a licensed liquor
system to it's deluded patronage. The
TRIBUNE champions these wrongs and
claims by virtue Of such service to be-
friend the people. But the destiny of
the TRIBUNE depends upon the good
will of the people it endeavors to serve;
it therefore solicits a Liberal patron
age. The TRIBUNE has been equalled
by none other in the county in its fear
less method of confronting the wrongs
of society and is excelled by none for
furnishing the county news, and with
it's added strength. it hopes to do as
we'll or better in the future.

Secret Owning servants Seem to Be the

Greatest Culprits There. SIS
That was a wise philosopher who
remarked that q valet knows his
masters character better than any
one else. In the privacy Of his
chamber d busy, harassed man is
apt to throw Of sill reserve and to
reveal those very traits in his dispo.
sition which he otherwise takes the
utnost caro- to conceal.
A valet OF a lady's maid has al
most unlimited opportunities for
matchmaking. Their chances Of rry-
ing into their masters affairs ara
uneqnaled.
1t il not surprising, therefore, that
servants who extort money are
among the worst terrors with which
society people have to contend.
Toward the end Of last year q we'll
known public man was found dead
In his bod. Is was evident that he
had poisoned himself, although no
cause for tho deed could be diseov-
ered. A few days ago an old valet
of the unfortunate man, now . pub
lilo house keeper, received 4 severe
injury from a fall from \ sca1old,
and fearing that he would not recov-
or he confessed that it was chiefly
through his instrumentality that
his master had been driven to his
death.
He bad found in an old drawer a
packet of papers which, without
doubt, contained pact history. Be-
ing In need CT money, he demanded
q payment Of f10, in default OF
which he threatened to make the
papers public. The money was paid,
but he soon ran through it, since be
had lost his situation. He again ap-
piled for another el0, and finally
succeeded in. obtsining it. He now
wished to set up a public house and
found that eco would allow him to
do go. Accordingly. for that sum he
sold his master secret to two men
OF his acquaintance.
These men Immediately organized
q system Of matchmaking, with the
result that their wretohed victim
was driven to take his own life in
order that he might escape from
their tolls.
This is only one instance selected

Few boys Withstand an illness Of so serious
q nature as that with which Fred L. Howse
was a year ago afflicted. Fred is now fifteen
years of age, and attends the public schools.
His home is No. 80 Plymouth Place, Cleve-
land, Ohio, and he is now picture of puerile
health and vigor. In the fall of 1895 however,
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Howse,
the former, q ll-known business man,
whose Office is in the Arcade, had almost de-
SPARED of saving his life. The lad became
afflicted with infammatory rheumatism
which affected his entire body, and accom-.
panying that painful ailment were several
other very serious disorders. When she was
requested to describe her sons sickness and
his recovery, Mrs. Howse said:
1T was in September, 1895, that Fred
who was up to that time in delicate health,
was attacked by inHammatory rheumatism,
