LIES AND ISLANDERS

Usually react upon their authors.
A certain insurance agent of Willmar
and a member of the insurance trust
has been circulating the statement
that the Minneapolis Fire and Marine
Mutual Insurance Co., which is repre-
sented by F. P. Olney had a policy on
the building known as the Bonde
building which was recently damaged
by fire and refused to pay. Also that
the company is not good and does not
promptly pay it's losses. The facts
are that neither the company nor Mr.
Olney had policy on that building
nor the contents and it was "board''
company that did the kicking if any
was done, but then these people must
say something to induce people to pay
two prices for their insurance, and q
man who will enter into a combination
to do up his neighbors and, friends
must not be expected to tell the truth
where a, lie will make him a dollar.

THE NEW COUNCILS BURDEN.

THE NEW COUNCIL BURDEN.
Benson Times:
The mayor and four republican al
dermen of Willmar, who we're elected
on the issue of granting license and
making the saloon keepers obey the
law and economizing in village ex-
penditures, are confronted by the fact
that the voters also decided by ma
jority of 68 that no licenses should be
issued. To attempt to suppress the
blind pigs which will Immediately
spring up in all directions and keep
down expenses will be utter folly. TO
our mind, the only course left for them
is to 60 ahead and do as they pro-
posed before election, or else to re-
sign and let the people elect some one
who is willing to run the village GOV
eminent without money and suppress
and convict illicit liquor sellers with
out proof or witness. They will only
be calling down condemnation upon
themselves to take up the burden thus
thrust upon them.
Resign, Mr.. Poland? But they
cawn't. They said they could be just
as good no-license people. as anyone
if the people wanted them so to be,
and are pledged to RlGIDLY enforce
the laws, those against blind pigs in
cluded, we suppose) so there they are!
*x*
When discussing the matter of blind
pigs the people should hear in mind
the fact that the most of the hue and
cry about the terrible sway of the
blind porkers comes from the liquor
element itself. The closer friend Of
the saloon traffic your blind-pig
shouter is, the louder will he talk
about the pigs. Just watch and see if
it is not so.
There are said to be three blind pigs
in Willmar and there may be others
later.-Willmar Argus.
AS long as the town was afflicted
with both saloons and blind pigs, it
was a good thing that one of the evils
was abolished, was it not, Mr.. Whar-
ton? But then when the laws will be
RIGIDLY enforced there will be no
blind pigs either, we presume.

Village Matters.

ditlon of the village it is we'll to re-
member that the bulk Of the floating
Indebtedness was incurred by digging
wells and erecting the electric plant.
The fact that we have this debt is not
dlscredit to our city. What is
needed is common business methods
in funding the debt in order to save
excessive interest charges, and provi-
sion to place the waterworks and cleo
trio plant on their own feet so that the
revenue derived from them is used for
the paying of the expenses and the
interest charges, and also provide
sinking fund for the ultimate payment
OF the debt. If no revenue is derived
it shows mismanagement.
*x*
When talking about placing the viii
lage on ''sound financial basis'' the
question should be asked whether sa-
loon licenses are to be figured in as a
part OF that basis. Some people talk
as though it is only question of an
other year when saloon licenses will
be granted again. It is evident that
any plan which will make saloon reve-
nue. necessary for paying regular ex-
penses of the village cannot be con-
sidered. The people OF Willmar do
not want saloons, and they expect that
the village affairs will be placed upon
a basis where they will be entirely in
dependent of any whiskey money.
The village charter was evidently
drawn with the view that saloon reye-
nue. was to be a permanent source of
income to the village-at least it pro-
hibits the levying of ample taxes and
has continued to be the bulwark of the
saloons year after year. It will be
remembered how the saloons fought
the incorporation of the village last
fall, simply because it would disturb
their old "cinch" in village affairs.
The people of Willmar have decisive
ly spoken as to the saloons. They be-
lieve that the town will prosper and
improve without saloon money if given
a chance. Any makeshift looking to
the re-establishment of saloons, or
line of action calculated to influence
the public to believe that the town
cannot be run without saloon revenue
will not be tolerated.
Xxx
At the request of citizens of Willmar
Senator Grue and Representative Mel
son have secured the passage of legis-
lation which will enable the village to
levy adequate taxes, and also author
izing the village to fund it's floating
debt Thus a means of escape has
been provided from a position which
would have been embarrassing in the
extreme. If the new council will avail
themselves of the opportunity, the
finances of the village. may be placed
in such condition that no club of de-
ranged finances can be used at future
elections to influence votes in favor of
the saloons.

HAIL INSURANCE.

An. important suit has just begun
which is of interest directly to a large
number of farmers in Pembina county,
and which will be watched with consid-
cradle interest throughout thes state.
I The suit is brought by the Red River
Valley Mutual Hail Insurance Company
of North Dakota, the headquarters Of
which is located at Wahpeton, against a.
bout 20 Pembina county farmers for the
amount due on promissory notes issned
by the farmers in payment of premiums
on hail insurance policies issued to them
by the company last spring.
Payment has been refused, on the
ground, it is. said, that false repre-.
sentations were made to the farmers by
the agent soliciting the insurance. 1t is
understood to be the claim of the de.
PENDANTS that this agent represented tc
them that if they desired to do SO they
could have their policies cancelled at an,
time before July 1st., when in reality nc
such privilege was attached to the
policy nor we're they permitted to have
the policies cancelled.
The case will be Of general interest as
they will generally define the relative
obligations of insurance companies tc
insure when representations not author
lied by the companies are made by a
gents.

THE BoER WAR.

In last week. issue we noted the re-
treat of the British forces from Dundee
to Ladysmith.
The Beers followed and began plant
ing batteries on the hills about the town.
Gen. White sent out two regiments and
battery Of six guns, presumably to at
tack one of the Boer positions on the
hills. Severe fighting occurred and the
British forces thus sent out were defeat
ed and all captured, entailing loss to
the British, of nearly 1000 men.
The blow is terrible one for the En-
glish, and meahs a loss of about one
fifth of all the British army at Ladysmith

west of the Transvaal, are still besieged
by the Beers. Cecil Rhodes is at Kim.
berly.
General Butler, the new commander
in-chiet'of the South African English
army, has arrived at Cape Town. Cape
Town is nearly thousand miles from
Durham, the nearest seaport to Lady
smith.
He has. some reenforcements with
him. In the next two or three weeks
the English expect to have q, 600 men ir
South Africa.
The Canadian regiment of 1000 mer
left Quebec this week for South Africa.
The Beers are gathering round Lady
! smith, and as they know that reinforce
ments are coming, will probably attempt
to take the city before they arrive. The
English there are in a critical situation
and great battle with a possible sur

The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1899-11-03

would practically result in the loss Of
prestige and power at least in this quar-.
ter of the globe and possibly prestige in
other lands.
On the other hand. the Beers are
fighters with all the term implies. They
are fighting for independence and for
their homes. They seem we'll provided
with the necessities of war. But COM
pared with England they are few, and
their resources limited. They are iso-
lated from the sea. They can get no
more war supplies of any account unless
they can take seaport. When they
get to the sea, if they do, they are long
way from home and then they meet
Britain's strongest arm, the navy.
Prospects are, to our mind, of a long,
hard-tought war, with the probability Of
England's weight turning the balance at
the end. g.,
