Willmar tribune., 1900-10-03

Mr.. L. Moline of Willmar, visited
with his son, Erick last week. W axe
up! Deputy Kid. Don't quit writing
because Kid asked You to draw the
line at your usual stopping place"
but you must bear, In. mind that he
had not at that time learned that you
had exchanged that famous chill" for
the ''center post'' where he surmises
you now spend al yonr leasure time.
However, Kid thinks his Deputy made
a move in the right direction that time,
and he congratulates you. Miss
Annie Trulson visited relatives in
Roseland last week j.. John Matson
purchased pair of broncbos in Will
mar last Saturday for the sum. of sl8.
Kid is not good politician, as cer-
tain "Fahlunite" said he was, in fact
no politician at all. All tn at he knows
about politics is what he believes every
person with common sence can see and
for himself That the
tendencies of the party now in power,
which is the ''big-bug money party"
is TO manage affairs for the benefit
of the special classes and care moth
ing for the peoples rights. And swiftly
and surely this once so glorious
nation is drifting into policies that
are dangerous. to free institutions.
He will therefore vote for Bryan and
Demo-pop ticket as he believes Bryan
has ability and manhood enough to
restore this government to it's former
principles, a government of, by and
for the people,. >. The school in Dist.
IS opened a week ago last Monday
with A. o. Nelson as teacher. Mr..
Nelson has not been, teaching for q
number of years, but was formerly so
we'll liked by the school district that
they urged him to teach another term.
...How would it be to start a, Bryan,
Stevenson and Lind club in Syea? If
someone would just start the move, the
Svea boys would soon be in line.

Bede Speaks at WilImar..

J. Adam Bede lectured on the sub
ject, "The World is Moving Along"
at the Opera House last Wednesday
evening. He was billed to make a
campaign speech, but if he intended to
do that he missed it wide. He did
mention some candidate on the re-
publican ticket incidentally, and also
made some remarks on our duty to
civilize the Filipinos in order to keep
the world "moving along" He claim
ed, truly enough, that there can be no
profit in it for the American nation
but we were doing: all these things
from purely philanthropic motives.
Bede must have missed hearing of
Sen. Beyeridge, a young man over
in Indiana, who won some notoriety
last winter by an impassioned ap-
peal to the American pocket-book,
which was to be greatly benefited by
annexing the Philippines. Beveridge
bluntly stated that "we" want to hold
the islands for "what there is in it"
He was honest about it, although he
did not include the common people,
but only meant army contractors, COR
porations and fnanciers. This talk of
killing people on philanthropic
grounds is tiresome and it is an insult
to the intelligence of the people to
think that they will swallow such state
ments. Bede also explained that trusts
were only national result of the
worlds moving along. He did not
mention any republican remedy for the
condition, but he gave his own pre-
scription for fixing things properly.
It was to make all the people share
holders in the trusts-a sort OF private
socialism. He forgot to tell where the
struggling working classes were to get
the money to invest in trust shares.
A little thing like that is liable to slip
by unnoticed. Bede has evidently at
some time visited third class minstrel
show, and "swiped" all it's jokes,
which he insisted in using on the help.
less audience. The reckless abandon
with which he dragged in his bald
headed stories without their having
any connection with the subject he was
walking around showed he has missed
his calling. He would be an 18-carat
success as end-man in minstrel
troupe.
The Rough Riders ION foot) looked
too awfully, utterly sweet for any
thing. They were also very useful for
furnishing applause when the signal
was given. The audience seemed little
inclined to join in the applause.
