OUR EASTER EDITION.

We present to our readers in this
issue a review of Willmar, its bust
ness institutions, railroad facilities,
church organizations, fraternities,
etc. We feel confident that many of
our own citizens will be surprised
when they realize the growth of bust
ness here. The progress has been so
steady, so free from the noisy "booms"
that many have failed to notice how
rapid it has been. Read this issue
carefully, ard preserve it. It will be
interesting reading in the future
Get some extra copies and send to
your friends at a distance, to let them
know that you are living in good
live town. Although this issue con-
tains very large number of illustra-
tions, cuts of business houses, bust
ness men, residences, etc., it must not
be supposed that we have come any
where near showing up what the town
has in each of those lines worthy of
showing. In the brief time since this
issue was conceived it has been impos

the FUTURE OF wlLlmAR.

Gratifying as has been the growth of
Willmar in the past, we have still
greater hopes for the future. Its po-
sition is such that in the near future
no doubt large manufacturing plants
will he located here. 1t would be a
fine place, for instance, for the manu-
facture of agricultural implements.
Situated in the midst Of the greatprai-
RE section of Minnesota, with rail-
road connections North, East, South
and West, it would afford nice mar
ket for such goods, and an easy dis
tribution. It has yard facilities for
handling freight without delay. The
village is large enough to give some
aid or bonus for a good plant. All
that is needed is proper advertising of
the facilities and advantages of Will
mar, and the earnest cooperation of
it's citizens. Such manufacturing plants
do not generally flourish in the larger
cities. Expenses are too high, land
too valuable. What they require is
to be near their markets and within
easy railroad communication of as
large q territory as possible.
The railroad company has shown it's
faith in the future of Willmar by maxi
ing provisions for handling largely
increased amount of business. 1t has
recently bought large tract of land
on the western boundary of the will
age, and it is generally believed that
it will use it for shops. If such is the
case it would give employment to hun
dreds of men. The company certainly
intends to use the land for the estab-
lishment of a plant of some kind.
Judging from its favorable position,
it's railroad advantages and it's past
growth it is not unreasonable to hope
that many of US will live to see Will
mar a fourishing little city of 10000
to 80; 600 inhabitants.

sible to secure everything worthy of
note. In many instances photographs
were not obtainable in time, and if we
could have obtained all we would
have liked to get we would have
swamped the engravers. Thus we
have given, not a complete picture but
some general sketches, selected at
random.
We call your attention to some pict-
ures of Willmar as it appeared some
fifteen or twenty years ago. Compare
it with the pictures of the modern
business houses and residences and
you will get some idea of the rapid
growth and development of this vii
lage.

The numerous essays on Easter, by
pupils of some of the schools, not on

sion, but they also serve as an index
to show what our schools do for the
children. To be educated it is neces-

amount of knowledge, but to be able

progress and cannot grasp
that that is not all needed to make
mankind happy. Fail not to be on
watch and call attention to all retro
grade movements. But on the other
hand look not always on the dark side
only. Note the many signs of human
improvement. It will give you re-
newed courage. And be not downcast
because your sphere of action is so in
significant. 1t is the apparently in
significant work of thousands of men
in widely scattered localities that pre-
pares the way for progress. Some
times a truly great man may come at
the critical moment and lead in the
eliminating effort. But he could not
have done his work if the way had not
been prepared. Labor on, and hope
for an Easter when mankind shall
rise to noble life of peace, love and
charity, when wars and oppression in
every form shall have been left in the
grave of the past and mercy and JUS
tice shall rule.

rule the industrial world, yet the con-
dition of the masses is certainly better
than it was century ago. Benevo-
lence, public and private, has in
creased in scope and. power. Look at
our institutions for the care of insane
and feebleminded, for reforming
youthful criminals and preparing them
for life of usefulness, and for edu-
eating the people. Are not these in
dubitable signs that charity is in
creasing, and that the world is striv-
ing to reach higher level? Does it
not show that tn. teachings of the
founder of our religion are beginning
to be needed in some measure? The
spirit of selfshness is 50 strong in
humanity that it will probably: never
be completely eradicated. But let us
be thankful that there are some signs
of its being weakened. r... .--..:.

The world cannot be stationary It
must either progress or retrograde.
The forces of selfshness never rest.
Those who desire to see the condition
of the masses improved cannot afford
to rest. Croaking pessimists, who be-
lieve that everything is going wrong
and that nothing can prevent it, are
OF no use. But the honest critic, who
calls attention to threatening dangers
is necessity to progress. He may
at times be mistaken. He may have
exaggerated the danger. But if so
his fellow citizens will soon find it
out, and no harm will be done. It is
his duty to speak out, and if his fears
are we'll founded he may help avert
the threatened disaster.

the lot of every person who has tried
to do hisibest to lift humanity to a

sincere in his convictions does not
lose heart for that. He cares not to
win the plaudits of the thoughtless
crowd. The consciousness that he is
right is more to him than the plaudits

Little Sunshine's Easter.

Little Sunshine's Easter.
Little Sunshine roseearly one winter
morning and, as she looked out upon
the wide world, her heart was filled
with loneliness to see all nature leep.
The trees were bare, there were no
flowers to make the world beautiful.
No sound was heard of the sweet song
birds. She saw nothing much but of
the little snow bird fitting from branch
to branch, they seemed cold and bruised
and were seated upon the snow for
rest. Night came on, it was very cold
and Sunshine was thinking of the dear
little birds and wondering where they
would find shelter from the cold. Next
day when she arose she went for
walk and as she was walking along
she glanced down at the side of the
road and there she saw one of those
little birds frozen stiff on the snow,
with it's wings outstretched as though
it had attempted to fly just when death
came to relieve it of it's terrible suffer-
ing. Little Sunshine went home but
she could not forget this sad scene.
At last spring dawned and she began
to feel light hearted, for the ice ard
snow now melted away, and the brooks
were dancing gleefully, glad to befree
from the letters of winter. She went
as usual on.her morning walk, but in.
stead of seeing the sad scenes that she
saw on her winter walk that winter

charity has made itself felt. The
wounded are better cared for, prison
ers are protected instead of being
butchered or dragged away to be sold
as slaves, as in the olden times. And
the number of those who protest
against war, except in the strictest
self-defense, is growing larger. Wars
are getting to be less frequent. Arbi-
tration is more frequently resorted to
and we may hope that some day
"peace on earth" may be an estab-
lished fact. Though greed seems to

No other person has devoted as
much time and labor for the welfare

She was principal of the school from
1874 to 1876. In 1878 she became a
member of the first board of examiners
for the Independent district, and served
in that capacity for 6 years. From

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.
The average American is intensely
Interested in politics. and rightly so.
1t is his duty as citizen to study all
public questions that he may vote in
telligently. Now, human minds are
so constituted. that they cannot all ar
rive at the same conclusion. If we
could all think alike this would be a
very peaceful world, but oh, how dead
it would be.
But in this strife of ideas and opin-
ions we should all be careful not to al
low these differences to so bias our
minds as to carry partisanship into
our local and tbusiness affairs. To
the merchant all good customers
should be.alike,, and be treated with
the same!' consideration. He should
respect theirlpolitical opinions and be
careful not to make them the subject
of sneering remarks. We often hear
the remark: II would like TO trade at
such and such place, but can't go
in there without he airing some sneering
remark about the pops, and so Istay
away" We suppose the same is true
on the other side, although We don't
hear those complaints. Such things
ought not to be. "Business is bust
ness" and mans politics and relig-
ion have nothing to do with it. A bus
mess man is as much entitled to have
political opinions as any other man,
but he must respect the opinions of
others if he wishes to deal with them.
One of the legitimate objects of a
newspaper is to discuss political ques-
lions from the editors standpoint of
view. But it has other purposes. Be-
sides giving the news wide-awake
newspaper is always working for the
welfare and progress of the town.
When a newspaper does this it is en-
titled to the respect of the citizens Of
the town irrespective of party. When
business man refuses to patronize
such a paper because it don't voice
his political opinions he is ''cutting of
his nose to spite his face" We have
heard business men say: 81 admire
the push and energy of the TRIBUNE,
but I don't like it's politics." The
question of politics has nothing to do
with the value of the paper to you as
a business man. In advertising the
town and it's advantages the paper is
helping your business. The larger the
circulation of q paper is the more val
liable it is to you in advertising your
goods. We are glad to say that this
intense partisanship is on the wane.
Business men are beginning to realize
that they can be true to their political
convictions without trying totesr down
the business of every one whodoes not
agree with them in politics. A glance
at our advertising pages will show
that the. progressive business men of
Willmar have reached this conclusion.
Professional bread and butter politi-
clans will of course always fghtevery
one who does not agree with them.
That is to be expected; but their in
auence is not large enough to do much
harm. ., :.. { r.. :, & ...- 3 Is .ss
In considering local questions poll
tics should be completely banished.
The question should be twill it bene-
fit the town, = not twill there be some
credit in it for one or the other politi-
cal party?" People should not look
