And Hark Mamma was the greatest
OF the trusts and knew all the trusts
and had dealing with them. And when
it was come to the time when no more
trusts might be formed, and the over
production still was, Hark Mama cal
led the trusts together, saying: "Be-
hold, we have it all. We are but wait
ing for an air trust and sun trust
and it will be completed. But the peo-
pie see not that we are good and kind
and are crying for another king who
will not deal in trusts. Therefore, let
those OF us who can go out into the
highways and byways aud cry aloud,
Down with the trusts!' And the peo-
pie will again be with us and will vote
with US, and will say, Verify, we
have killed the trusts"
And the trusts did as was hidden
and all was we'll. And certain man
OF the sugar trust who was called
Havemore, because that he was ex-
ceedirg greedy, became scattered
from his fellows and became a wan
derer and was lost. And certain of
his tribe took him up into the temple
and sat him upon a seat. And he
opened his mouth and taught them,
saying, "Verily, I have taken from the
people many cubits of shekels. I am
the sugar trust. I am wise dingbat.
Blessed are trusts for they shall in
herit the earth. Lay not up treasures
for yourself, but give them to the
trusts
And the people marveled at these
teachings and they grew afraid of
trusts and said, ''Verily, we have not
yet killed the trusts" And the GEN.
turion, Hark Mama, departed into
other lands and said unto the natives:
''Eyen a trust hath much troubles,
and the way of the republican party is
hard"
So the people set themselves together
to swat the trusts upon their helmets,
and many strange things are written
in the First Epistle OF Pingree to AL
ger. And the last of the trusts was
the beef trust, which begat Aegean, for
this was the limit and the people slew
it,
These things came to pass in the
third year of the antitrust law.

Mr.. Roberts, director of the mint, a
prominent republican politician of
Iowa, correctly gives the situation in
side of the democratic party of the
West. After discussing the Iowa con-
vention, he said: 1.-THE democratic
party in the West dare not allow the
Populists to draw out of the union that
has been maintained since 1896. They
don't know what they would have left.
The fact is that there is bound to be q
political party representing Organism
and the Chicago platform. There are
people enough in the country holding
those views to maintain a party. If
they should lose control of the demo-
cratic organization, which is not prob
able, they would promptly appear
with another organization. That is
the inality which all anti-Bry an
movements within the democratic party
must face"

There have been three court martial
verdicts rendered against officers of
the army who have been dishonest in
money transactions. One case invol-
yep $500, another 81, 800 and the third,
Capt. Carter: 81, 100000. The two first
were promptly punished. The last has
been hung up, by reason of President
McKinley's interference, for one year
"pull' with the trusts and the hardest
kind of efforts are being made to find
some excuse why he should not be pun
ished. Again is the old truism EN-
phasized, that it does not pay to steal
small amounts.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1899-08-30

It may seem broad statement, but
we believe it, that there should be no
such thing as loyalty to party inter-
fering with loyalty to ones own con-
victions. Demogogues will try to put
loyalty to party as the standard of a
mans patriotism, but it cannot be.
Let us vote according to the merits of
the question and the men rather than
follow party whip; let US be Ameri-
cans rather than republicans, demo-
Gratis or populists; and let US not give
in even if in the shifting of issues we
find ourselves political Orphans
New London Times.

Lord North, George III, and the
tories of their time, had confidence
that the people would sustain the ex-
ecutive when the country was at war,
but when the people did have a chance
to be heard, the House of Commons,
witho ut one dissenting vote, de-
c]ared that anyone who voted to con-
tinue the war against the American
colonies was traitor to the country
President Mckinley began the war
with the Filipinos proposing to accept
no terms but abject, unconditional
surrender, without any authority from
congress which alone has power to
make war, and now it remains to be
seen what congress will do about it.

A lady who took the examination
for teachers first grade certificate
says that if she wanted to find out
whether child was short sighted, she
would draw line on the blackboard
and ask the child to tell how long it
was. If the estimate fell below the
reality, she would know that he was
short sighted. Talk about ingenuity!

WoMAN's SUFFRAGE.


In five years equal suffrage in Colo
RADIO has raised the age of protection
for girls to eighteen years, equalized
the laws of Inheritance between hus-
band and wife, made fathers and
mothers equal guardians of their chill
dren, and more than quadrupled the
number of no-license towns in the
state, besides accomplishing progress
in humane measures relating to child
labor, etc. It is also noticeable that
the laws prohibiting gambling and
regulating saloons are better enforced
than formerly. Most of the dire fears
expressed by those opposed to woman S
suffrage have been proven groundless.
During the months which the editor
spent in Colorado, he was at first sur
prised at the apparent opposition to
woman's suffrage that he encountered,
certain individuals losing no oppor-
tunity to say that it was only the
though" class of women who exercised
their rights of franchise. Before he
had sojourned there very long he
found, however, that had that conten-
ton been true the parties so declaring
would probably have been the last to
complain. We heard no fault6nding
or complaint from any of the better
class of citizens. The bad and the
vicious women, as we'll as men, no
doubt exercise their right to vote, but
the percentage of voters among the
women who will vote for reforms, So
cial and moral, far exceed those of the
men, be it said to the shame of the
latter

The Mankato Journal, a populist
paper with strong ''mid-road" leau-
ings, has announced that it will here
after eschew partisan politics and be-
come free lance. DR.. G. Johnson OF
Willmar has written q letter to the
editor Of the Journal commencing his
course, from which we may draw the
conclusion that the doctor feels the
same way.

In spite of an increase of internal
revenue OF sl30, 00O, 900, and money re-
ceived from Pacific railroad settle
ments the deficit of the Mckinley ad-
ministration for 1899 was $S8. 857 $3.50.
The Spanish war is not responsible
for this either, because the cost OF
that, $220, 000,0 900, was paid for by Sc
curities sold. The Cleveland admins
tration was denounced by republicans
as incompetent for managing the af-
fairs so as to leave q deficit half so
large. They might now turn their
caustic criticism onto themselves.

Thomas B. Reed has resigned his
seat in a Republican congress, in
which he has welded an influence
hardly second to that of the president
of the United States. It is an event of
much significance. A new leadership
and new influences will have full sway,
and we predict that it bodies not we'll

to take down the buildings and move
them, this fall, the work TO begin at

change is that the ground where the
factory has always set is so wet and
clayey that every winter the building is
injured by the frost, which necessitates
constant repairs to keep the machinery
in proper condition Another thing 1t
will save a big trucking bill, as when
