line attention of our citizens was
called to a sad case of destitution this
week The family of John Bryan,
who have been living in the Fixen
building opposite the Glarum Hotel,
on Third street, was found to be in
great need of the necessities of life.
and In addition to this Mrs. Bryan
was found to be very low with con-
sumption. When visited by some of
our people it was found that thew
were actually suffering and an effort
was made at once to solicit relief for
tne afflicted family. Mr.. and Mrs.
bryan have two children, q boy of
seven and little girl of two years.
All the members were in need of addi-

amount of $Sl.60 were soon collected.
Besides this there were contributions

Mr.. Bryan is spoken of by those
who know him as being an industri-
Gus man, and willing to work, but
circumstances had been such that it
was impossible to keep the wolf from
the door. He had been obliged to re-

$3.50. After relieving their victim of
this amount they bound him to the
fence with wire used for baling hay,
and made good their escape before
his cries for help could be heard.
He remained in this position for
fully an hour and a half, when finally
Charles Smith, who has charge of the
stock yards, came to his relief. He
had been so firmly bound with the
wire, that his body showed several
marks of his Imprisonment.
Mr.. Smith had made big sale of
horses that day to E. B. Paulson, of
Litchfeld, and the robbers had no
doubt been aware of the deal and
were lying in wait for him. Mr.. Paul
son was still in the city this morning
and accompanied Smith to the authori-
ties, where warrant was sworn out
for the arrest of the guilty parties.
There is q slight suspicion that the
robbery was committed by local par
ties, although there are some suspic-
ious characters hanging about in the
city. An attempt is being made as we
go to press to find the men, and the
sheriff will scour the country for
suspicious characters.
Several of the citizens who live near
the stock yards heard cries from that
vicinity last night, but thought moth
ing further of it, as it is quite GUS
tomary to hear loud talk there on &C.

A bold case OF robbery was reported
this morning in the city. Oscar Smith,

Answered Deaths Summons.

The sad announcement was received
Thursday by q telephone message
that Mrs. Dorothea Larson, wife of
Ole Larson, of the town of Fahlun,
had breathed her last that morning.
Mr.. Larson and son, 81. L. Larson.
who is down here from Backus, Minn.,
were in Willmar when they received
the message, and the announcement
came as a great shock to them. They
had left their Fahlun home only q
short time before and Mrs. Larson
was apparently feeling better than she
had for some time. The son was
about to return to Backus, after hav-
ing had visit at the bedside Of his
mother, little thinking that he would
be summoned so soon to the death
chamber.
The illness of the deceased had cov-
cred period of five years and part
of that time she had been confined to
her bed. The exact nature of her all.
ment is not known at this writing, but
it is understood that she had been suf.
fering from q complication of dis.
eases. The immediate cause OF death
is given as pneumonia, with which
disease the sufferer was taken down
about a week ago. Owing to her
weakened condition from the former
illness OF long standing, she was un-
able to long Withstand the last attack
and death came suddenly.
Mrs. Larson had been receiving
treatment for the past several years
from physicians both in Willmar and
at other points, and also eminent
specialists in the twin cities. At one
time she was obliged to undergo an
operation, in Willmar and was for
some time under DOCTORS care here.
The deceased was about 50 years of
age. She leaves besides her husband
4 family of six children, Emil, the
only living child through the last
union, and the following step-chil-
dren: Hans L. Larson, of Backus,
Cass county; Anton G. Larson, of
Richmond, Wash; Amanda Larson,
of Clotto, Todd county, and Lewis M.
Larson, who is st presens conducting
the farm in Fahlun. The family have
the heartfelt sympathy OF their many
friends In their great bereavement. :
The funeral services were held yes
terdsy afternoon. Atone o CLOCK the re-
mains were taken from the late resi-
dence in the town of Fahlun and the
last sad rites were performed at three
! O'Clock at the Baptist church In the
town Of Lake Elisabeth, the interment
being IL the Lake Elizabeth cemetery.

to endorse the "New Thought" move
ment, which is by the church consid-
cred as only another form of opposi-
tion to Christianity as interpreted by
the church. The following extract
from letter written by Rev. Thomp-
son for the Faribault Referendum of
June 13, 1908, is probably as correct
a view as we can get of the socialist
position regarding the church:
"a minister asked the writer not
long ago why it was that all the ef-.
forts to get the laboring people into
hfs church had failed. 4 am friend
to the laboring people, he said,
*and if they would come and join my
church, we could make it church for
the poor as we'll as for the rich.'
II then explained to him that so long
as the ministers and the church had to
depend on money, and so long as
those who furnished the money were
inevitably those who had it, and so
long as the large payers felt that they
had the right to say what the policy
of the church should be and so long
as there was an inevitable struggle
between the laboring classes against
their capitalist employers in which the
rich were absolutely uncompromising
you cannot and ought not, to have
the laboring classes in the church.
In the very nature of the case, the Ia
borer who understands the class
struggle, understands that the ordin-
ary church belongs to the capitalist
class. The capitalist paid for the
church + one man in this instance had
contributed $1,000 to the building
fund the capitalist pays from a half
to three-fourths, and in q few cases
all, of the salary-the laboring man
cannot hope to match him and there
fore the capitalist holds the controll-
ing interest. The lsborsr has but ono
ohoios-hs may swallow the capitalist
intsrpretstio" Of christianity. Or he
may withdraw. The ssIf.respe peetlnx
Isborer chooses the lsttsr and he

II there any chance for a movement
having ell these powerful influences
against it to succeed? Most people
will agree that there is none. Yet it
may WELD q powerful influence, by
separating the radical reformers
from the more conservative ones,
leaving the reactionary forces united
and able to defeat the divided oppo-
sition. For this reason the issue
must be squarely met, and the prin-
ciples Of Socialism given special At
tention by these who wish to see the
condition of the working classes
bettered without revolutionizing So
ciety.
SOCIALISM AND the FARMERS.
Socialism aims to abolish private
ownership Of all industries, and
abolishing all income from property
rented out or money loaned. This
would of course force every man into
one of two classes farmer or wage.
worker. Naturally most of those
driven out of the present leisure class
es would be enrolled among the wage
workers. Socialism aims to reduce
the hours of labor each day to the
minimum required to produce the
necessary amount Of goods. In the
! Industrial work this could be done,

Second Paper, by A. o. Forsbers.

I have two great objections to so.
cialism.
First. I believe that 1t will bs impo..
sibIe to got It.
Second, ! believe It would be IN.
satisfactory If we did got 1t.
Mr.. Thompson acknowledges the
difficulty In getting it when he says
that "the utmost combined strength
of both (ths agricultural and wage.
earning classss) will need to bs aug.
msnted by seoessions from other cI.s-
Sos in order to win the victory"
Now, does anyone believe that it
will be possible to get all the members
of either class to join revolutionary
movement of such vast import? The
tenant farmer may vote for socialism
in order to get even with his more
fortunate neighbor who owns his farm.
But the latter will hesitate long be-
fore he will vote to place himself in a
position of being a tenant, even if the
landlord should be Uncle Sam.
The wage-earner who owns q home
will not consent to a system of gov
ernment where the taxes will fall en-
tirely upon the homes and farms.
The natural conserv atism of most
people will be opposed to any revolu-
tionarv change. Even if it could be
demonstrated that socialism is good
thing there are vast numbers of non-
thinkers who could not be induced to
break away from their old traditions
and try something new.
The capitalist would of course op.
pose it with all the power at his com.
mand, and that means more than the
votes of the mere capitalist class.
The abolition of interest would de-
prive many who can not be strictly
classified as capitalists of their means
of living in their old age. This class
and their friends must be counted
against any system that would deprive
them of their possessions.
The life insurance system is In most
instances based on the interest system
for the reserve funds. Millions of
people are interested in this matter,
and they would hesitate to give q sure
thing for themselves or their families
for the mere promise of government
pauper aid.
Add to this the vast influence of the
church, which is as general rule op-
posed to all radical changes in society,
and you have an opposition that can:
not be overcome. It is not the pur-
pose here to show that the church is
justified or wrong in opposing these
changes. I am only enumerating the
opposing Influences. Beside this gen.
era] opposition to radicalism the
church has an especial objection to
the socialist propaganda because so
many of It's advocates in Europe have
been unable to distinguish between
Christianity and the state church that
they have almost as q sgeneral rule al.
lied themselves with the enemies OF
religion. This feeling has been to
some extent transplsnted with the 80.
cialist plant in this country. Even
my worthy opponent himself, though
administer, has not been able to keep
that influence aWaV from himself. I'll AL.
though claiming that socialism IL not
antagonistic to Christianity, he Seems
