CRUSH

High Tide.

While by some Thursdays crowd is

last evening did not indicate it. The
jewellers simply wedged down on the main
Streets until they spread out on the pave

OF the street as on the sidewalk. In the
opinion of some the frivolity. IN in

Of the attorneys for the boy. declared in

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

At the Crawford last night a Chicago
Tramp was PLAYED by an excellent com
pany TO a crowded house. The play is
one that portrays the love woman has
for her father, who Is an eX-convict. and
how that love brings forth good results
Many specialties are brought on in the
scenes that are very good. The play is
a mixture of pathos and fun and keeps
the audience in a good humor all the
way through. 1t has number Of strong
scenes and excellent climaXes. which are
we'll brought out by the company. The
with is fast and sparkling and the pathos
IS such as to bring tears from the eyes
Of many and to command the tense at
tention of all. The singing is very good
and there is plenty Of H. The same play
viii be given tonight and will play TO
a crowded house again.
From the title Of the play "a Hoosier
Daisy" which comes TO the Crawford
Monday. September %. one might mag
inc threshing machines, hay stacks and
barnyard scenes but none OF these are
used in the play which deals with life
as seen IN the small towns Of the HoOsier
state. Indiana. The story centers around
a gawky. awkward. poOr-house waif and
a young minister about TO be Installed in
his first pastorate The interest Of the
play is sustained throughout by q strong
story and by a happy blending Of COM
edy Besides the leading characters we
see the village lawyer and his proud
daughter. the village gossip and the hy
pocritical church members. the town
marshal and the smart boy. the happy
go-lucky tramp and many others Of the
usual characters seen in the small towns.
Miss Cliftons impersonation Of the title
role is said 70 be a delightful exhibition
Of clean cut comedy. and the company
and production are lauded to the skies

"EnFoRcIne' the LAW.

Our local editor gives our readers
a glowing account this week of the
arrest of four of the ''jointkeepers"
at Willmar. The TRIBUNE editor
wishes to give credit where credit is
due, but he would not be honest with
himself or his readers if he ascribed
the tardy work done by our officers to
any other motive than to an attempt
to stem the tide of public sentiment
throughout the county against the
Willmar candidates for county at
torney and sheriff. The raid was not
nearly as general as one might beyled

The tax code prepared by the tax
commission contained provisions for
reaching the hidden wealth of the rich.
That part was struck out by the house.
Now remember that the republicans
had . very large majority in the
house and could have passed any law
on which they agreed. This action
showed that they were unwilling to
compel the wealthy classes to show up
what they own and pay taxes thereon.
But the provision for taxing every
thing at full market value was re-
tanned, The result would have been
that the farmers and owners Of homes
in the cities would have paid three
times % much IL proportio as they
do now. Had the bill passed in its

next TUESDAYS ELECTION.

This is the last issue of the TR1B-
UNE that will reach the readers be-
fore the election. We would urge
upon all independent voters and pop
ulists to 60 to the polls and vote.
This has been one of the quietest of
campaigns, no interest being displayed
except for the individual contests for
the Offices. But the populists have an
especial reason to go to the polls,
namely to maintain their party ir
tegrity. A good vote for the peoples
party in the state will be notice that
the great principles the peoples party
was organized to champion live and
demand attention. It is not necessary
that every voter who believes In po-
litical reform shall shout his views
from the housetops, but it is the duty
of each and every such one to at
least vote and then give expression to
his belief, uninfuenced by the con-
siderations which are depended upon
to sway the unthinking. IL, ~ -.
The peoples county ticket, for the
Offices that it has candidates, Is
worthy of the consideration of all the
voters of the county, regardless OF
their partisan preferences. There are
weighty reasons why every good, law.
abiding citizen should we'll consider
for whom he votes for the county OH
ces aside from the party afaliation.
That an unusually large number IRE
so doing this year Is we'll understood
and that the verdict will be IN favor
OF the good resentative men upon
the Peoples ticket is confidently ex.
pected. We will not tire our readers
by I long review Of each man upon
the ticket. We have before stated
our reasons for favorinE each man
and It 10 not necessary to reiterate
them now. Do not vote thoughtlessly
IN local affairs each andidate stands

kilograms received by Chairman
Lawson report that statements are be-
ing circulated in various parts of the
state that Meighen has withdrawn from
the gubernatorial race. Such reports
are positively false, of course. Had
not Mr.. Meighen seen his duty clear
ly he would not have consented to
run. But seeing the necessity of
maintaining the organization he went
into the fight and will stay there un-

of such lying reports will richly de-
serve the rebuke that will be admin
