ages ordered by people in the
rural districts and country towns
throughout the~country. The
fight between the country mer-
chant and the department stores
of the large cities is not our
fight. We are thinking simply
of the people who are be-
ing fooled every time they send

chase at home. If you want to

more at home, the editor of the

price he could furnish the same

less than 500. He also stated
that there was no merchant in
Willmar but who could fill that
order for 81 and make small
profit. Figuring the freight
from Chicago to Wi]lmar on such
an order at 80 cents, there would
be a difference of $3.50 which the
customer would have to pay the
Chicago firm for those extra 10
pounds of sugar. Farmers, next
time you get ready to send for
an order of goods, just give your

Another thing. While we do
not wish to urge his nationality

not but feel that the appointment
of Mr.. Qvale would be a we'll de-
served complement to the Scan
dinavians of the district, who
constitute large majority of the
population. Many of the ablest
lawyers of the state are of Scan
dinavian extraction, but no one,
so far, has occupied the bench in
any of the district courts. We
are now, in this district, con-
fronted with condition in which
we have a man of Scandinavian
extraction eminently fitted for
the responsible position Of dis
trict Judge, and we believe Gov.
Clough and the bar of the dis
trict should recognize this condi-
tion and act accordingly. From
our knowledge Of Gov. Clough's
good judgment, we expect moth

Of Attorney G.. E. Qvale to the

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Editor WlLLMAR TRIBUNE
1t has been a long time since
an inaugural address has re-
cEived as careful attention by
the adherents of all parties as
has the inaugural address of
President Mckinley. To Judge
the man by the address deliv-
cred, we can only come TO one
conclusion, and that is that Pres
ident Mckinley has the good of
his country at heart. The con-
Guiding sentences of the address
are rather pathetic, and con-
firms the opinion that President
Mckinley realized the arduous
responsibilities Of the position.
he Was called upon to fill.
But when we call TO mind the
various instrumentalities that
brought about this nomination,
as the presidential candidate of
the republican party; when we
call to mind the vigorous meth
DDS pursued by the great cor
porations and trusts of the coun-
try in securing his election; how
the bankers, who have been car
rying on the Finest banking
system in the world" at the ex-
pense Of the people and the gov
ernment, appealed to the farm
ers to stand by the nominees of
the republican party, we have
our doubts whether the senti.
ments Of that address will be
exempli6ed in the policies Of the
the coming administration. 1T
is reas enable to suppose that
the great trusbs and kindred
Willmar tribune., 1897-03-16

We find that our home mer-
chant would give us but %
pounds of granulated sugar for
81, while we could get from this
Chicago concern Al pounds, or
gain Of 10 pounds, but that with
this exception the bill that would
cost 1914 could be filled at home
for 81 .33, or for $211 less than
the Chicago price; or, in other
words, the 10 pounds of sugar
would cost $2.11. Those out of
towns offers always look tempt
ing, but when you compare them
with the prices the home mer-
chant asks, you will find it al
ways pays you to purchase at
home. In the Chicago offer you
are limited to the exact list in the
above schedule and you cannot
substitute. The Chicago man
must make up his loss on the Al
pounds of sugar on the other
articles on the list and you must
buy all or none. It stands to
reason hat the merchant in the
country towns can sell his goods
for a lower price than the mer.
chant in a city can. The cost of
living is less, labor is cheaper.
and rents are lower, and yet the
express companies derive a large
part Of their revenue from pack

hard times, and not till then, will
our factories start up their furn-
aces and set the looms and spind-

President Mckinley in the ar
duous task before him has the

erals" (and that term includes
every thing not animal or vege:
table), or coal, or petroleum, D.. or
mineral paint, or iron, or gold
or silver, to carry them off; and
they may, at any time, during a
period that will endure as long
as the state endures, go on those
state lands to "hunt for, dig,
mine and carry away" those pro-
ducts! And this whether the
state sells the land to a settler
or not!
The constitution of this state
provides (Sec. Is, Art. /, Bill
of Rights,) that ''all lands with
in this state are declared to
be allodlal, and feuda] tenures
of every description, with all
their Incidents, are prohibited. -
That is to say whatever land a
man owns in this state he owns
altogether; there can be no title
within a title. But this bill pro-
poses, under cover of creating
rains q or some other such tom
foolery, that a new feudalism
should be established; and that
the scamp who gave away land
in 1897, because he did not think
it worth paying taxes on, could
reserve to his heirs in 1897, or
1897, or 1897, the right to take
anything of mineral value that
might be found upon it. And
once such bill was passed, and
a lumberman turned over his
denuded lands to the board, -
our courts would undoubtedly
declare it a ''contract," and the
Legislature could never repeal it,!
And they had got this scheme
quietly worked through every
stage of it's passage, and the
final vote was just about to be
taken, when we rose and ex-
posed it's iniquity, and it was
referred back to Judge Hicks.
We did Judge Hicks the justice
of saying that we felt sure he
did not prepare any such bill,
and he seconded our motion to
have it returned to him.
We have been making some
inquiries since as to the parent
age of this monstrous PROPOSE
tion, and we are sorry to say
that we fud that it came from
The State Forestry Associa-
tion,' of which Mr.. S. M. Owen
is president!
We are sorry and ashamed.
Sorry and ashamed that a man
the peoples party once highly
honored could be shallow, and
gullible or depraved enough to
permit his society to be used
by lot of scheming rascals to
fasten upon the state such an
iniquitous and outrageous meas
ure. The man that drew that
bill ought to be hanged, and the
State Forestry Association which
fathered it ought to be abolished
forever.-I. D., in The Repre-
sentative.

THE JUDGESHlP.

Inc lWel1tn y JUDICIAL DlSCrlCC
is in need of an additional Judge,
and the great question is who to
select. To be sure, this matter
is in the hands Of the governor,
but he is, of course, willing and
anxious to consult the people of
the district as to their choice, if
they have any preferences.
After considering this ques-
ton on all sides, the people of
Willmar and Kandiyohi county
have made up their minds that
they have the man for the place
this time. This question of
selecting a Judge is generally
left with the bar of the dis
trict Yet the people at large,
whose lives and property are
directly involved, are naturally
as anxious about this matter AS
the lawy ers, and more so. So,
while we do not mean. by refer
ring to this matter, to intrude on
the prerogative of the legal fra
ternity of the district, the per-
sonnel and qualifications of a
Judge of the district court is,
nevertheless, of so vast impor-
tance to everybody that we may
be excused for giving express
sion to what we believe to be
the wish of the common people
in this matter.
Among all the candidates men
toned for the appointment, we
believe it is generally conceded
that Attorney G.. B. Qvale is the
best qualified to fill the place.
And we believe we can say this
without rejecting in the least
on any of the other gentlemen
in the race. Mr.. Qvale has won
for himself, as an attorney, a
reputation for honesty, fidelity
and thoroughness that is &C.
knowledgea by everybody His
legal knowledge is varied and
extensive, the result of system
attic and industrious plodding
along the royal road to learning
hard work in the office and
courtroom. Hence his counsel
and advice has always proved
to be sound and reliable.
One thing especially stands to
his credit and that is that he has
never engaged in the so-called
disreputable practices under the
cover of legal form to squeeze
a man because he could do so.
The spirit of law is equity, and
Mr.. Qvale has exemplifed this
golden maxim in his practice.
Time and again to our certain
knowledge he has refused to take
cases that, however technically
good, Was yet tainted with op.
preston to somebody, and lost
business and money by so doing.
He is fearless and determined,
and stands by what he conceives
to be right, come what may.
Now, in our humble opinion, Mr..
5Qvale possesses the qualification
to make an upright and honest
Judge. And we take pleasure in
being able to give this testimony
!. to a fellow townsman. And we
believe we voice the opinion of
every body that knows Mr.. Qvale
] or that has had any dealings with
him. =...@2 .s, MI . 5,l... IA. ..,.. -

A VlLLAINOUS LAW.

House File No. 20, introduced
Jan. Is, 1897, by Judge Hicks, is
one of the most iniq uitous pieces
of Legislation ever brought be-
fore the legislature of Minne-
sofa. The lum bermen, it is we'll
known, proceeded to cut the pine
off their land, and then refuse
longer to pay taxes on it and the
state has to buy it in. But some
ingenious scamp, not satisfied
with taking the cream and leav-
ing the commonwealth the skim
milk, got up a scheme the most
far-reacbing we have ever heard
of. Under cover of the pretense
that the state must preserve it's
forests, this bill provides for the
establishment of what it calls
Forest Reserve Areas,' with
no limitation as to the size of
the same Then it constitutes
a minnesota Reserve Forestry
Board,' which is to receive
deeds Of all lands conveyed to
it and hold the same forever
free from taxation-and the state
declares it purpose to ''reforest
cut-over and denuded lands, for
esting waste and prairie lands,
preventing destruction of for
ests by fire. Our readers can
see the immensity of the work
cut out for the board. It might
include one-half of the lands of
the state, tim bered and prairie!
But the meat of the bill is found
in section 9, which is as follows:
'Any person or corporation being
the owner in fee simple of any cut
over or denuded, or partially cut
over or partially denuded, natural
forest lands, which will not probably
be utilized for many years for agri-
cultural purposes, or any bare or
waste, or partially bare or waste,
rough prairie lands, Or any very
sandy, very rough or very rocky
lands, in this state, Or any lands
deemed absolutely necessary for the
preservation of water courses (all to
be determined by said State Forestry
Board), may deed the same to the
state of Minnesota for forestry pur-
poses Preserving minerals, oils, Goals,
and mineral paints, with the right to
hunt for, dig, mine and carry away
the same, in a proper and reasonable
by such temporary machin-
cry, buildings, appliances, roads,
common or rail, as may be necessary,
doing as little damage as possible to
the forest growths thereon, and under
UAAS luAOo3 ACS u11u4OuS t11u IS4ulIS~
ments of said State Forestry Board,
or it's officers, agents and executive
committee, as to roads, operating
grounds and destruction of trees) J, all
lands so decided to the state for for
estry purposes by any person or cor
poration are HEREBY FOREVER DED1-
GATED FOR FORESTRY PURPOSES.
Under the provisions of this
section, if it becomes law, the
lum bermen, who are now ready
to abandon their cut.over lands
rather than pay taxes on them,
can turn them over to this beau
tiful forestry board, and then
the state takes care of them and
preserves them from fire; and
then the heirs Of the donors will
have the right, for q thousand
years to come, to go on those
