WILLMAR TR1BUNE:-You are on
the reform picket line, the most worthy
position, politically, patriotic citizen
ship can occupy. This American ma
ton was never in so great peril as
now. It is in the keeping of the enc
mics OF civil liberty as promulgated
in the Declaration of Independence
They dominate the Republican party
and, Notwithstanding the firm fidelity
of w. j. Bryan and his followers,
may control the democrat party.
Grover Cleveland comedies his TO-
ability to turn the party over to the
imperialists and trusts and, sinul
taneous with an announcement of
Mark Hanna's presidential schemipg,
declared his retirement from the race.
Cleveland is lot democrat and never
was. AS an instrument of Wall street
he twice beguiled the party into sup.
portirg him for president. Neither
OF his administrations was democratic.
He began degrading the party before
his first inauguration, and made it
easy for the impe rialists to get pos
session at it's close. Now esretires to
let Morgan manage the annihilation
of government by the people for the
people"
President Roosevelt has not obeyed
Ill orders that have eminated from
imperialist headquarters. He has dis.
appointed the trusts. H antecedents
commit him to popular government
from which he has deviated enough to
alarm all voters who are not abiect
party slaves. On the labor question
he il charged with vscillstion. They
say: "Should the demo Gratis nom
mate William Randolph Hearst he
would be sure to receive the largest
number OF labor votes ever cast for
any one candidate and be elected"
That imperialist Hanna 10 the one
man cunning enough to deceive labor
and divide It's vote. The wreck of i'm.

The ingenuity and resourcefulness

more thought been given to labor saw

duce handling and transshipment to a

today works that on a width of q

its artificial mountains OF ore and
coke; next the blast furnaces; then the

ting worse. The chump forgot that In
those days We had few papers, and
those did not hear of more than the
millionth part OF what is going on.
Now q man does some rascally deed,
aud the next morning all the papers
in the country have it in print. And
the old fogies read it and shake their
heads and wonder what this world is
coming to.
1.-THE world is getting better. We
are coming to see more and more our
duty to the weak, the poor and those
who have got a false start in life.
Just look at what our state ia doing
for instance. A child has no home,
or one that is worse than none. The
state takes care of it and gives it q
home and bringing up. A CHI Id has
gone wrong; the state takes charge oil
it and endeavors to turn it in the RICH,
way and gives 1t an education tina,
will give it a chance to learn an hon.
est living. A young man falls into
wicked ways. The state tries to re.
form him and give him q new s'art.
Even older criminals are given en-.
couragement to reform. Did we dc
things that way some years ago? MOI
by jugful. The poor children were
sent to the workbouse till they could
be sold to the lowest bidder and be
sent to some skin flint who used then
as slaves. Criminals, young and old,
was herd. d together, and what thu
young criminal didn't know abou,
crime he learned from the older ones
"a man that treats the weak and
unfortunate with kindness and tries
to help them Is good man, even If hi
has some faults that his neighbor ar
see very plainly. 1t is the same with
. state or . nation. and the state o,
nation is only . RI Election OF what tht
individuals in It are. We have fault:
enough to keep US busy correcting anc
leave some for the next generation
and as we 20 along and improve ",
will discover faults that we can't set
now But We are headed in the righ
direction. We are trying to make th,
world easier and better to live IN
We amt using automobiles to &c
there with, but perhaps In the lon]
run it is safer to walk slow. Their
amt so many chances ct a break

"Come to think of it, this probably
shows up good point in our make
up, that We are abs to better remem-
Der the good than the bad. We look
back to our childhood, and we remem.
Der the good times we had playing.
We remember the fun but forget about
the bruises we got occasionally. We
member the fun at school but forget
about the times when the world looked
to US like huge mistake, just because
the tea cher had busted our jackets
with birch rod without first remov-
ing said jacket from our sh ulders.
We remember with pleasure and pride
the prizes We won in the spelling c. ass,
but forget the sad moments when we
stood up in the corner with Ounce
cap on our heads because we had
failed in recita ion. We thrill with
delight when We think of how we took
our best girl home from the singing
school, but We forget about the tor
ments we suffered when our hated RI
walls took her home. We remember
with glee the grand Thanksgiving din
ners, but forget about the doses of
bitter medicine we sometimes had to
take little later On that day.
"But the world amt getting no
worse. We don't see it right, that's
all. I heard man complaining the

False and True Success.

A recent writer in a popular publ
cation hints broadly that men un-
happily married are more likely to be
successful in life than those happily
married. The harmonious marriage
relation, he thinks, tends to satisf,
the ambition that would otherwise be
put into making 'success" of life.
1t is not stated that q man should
withhold his affections from his
family and make a whole burnt Offer
ing of himself On the altar of man
mon; but the conclusion is the, to be
drawn and no other is suggested.
This editorial-as unwholesome a
three inches of type as ever touched
good paper-is a fair measure OF how
far from the normal standard OF
success the popular idea has strayed.
1t seems today impossible for the
average American editor or novelist
to think Of success aside frt IN big,
quick mOney-millions doubling and
redoubling so fast as to carry man
from the ox-cart stage to the brass
rallied steam yacht almost before he
has had time TO divorce the wife of hi-
youth who couldn't keep up Sensa.
tional money making Is called success.
The quiet life is called failure.
So far from life's highest success
being in any way incompatible with
the highest home life there is nc
success worth the mention apart from
the highest home life. What shall it
profit man If he be able to raise a
loan of $40, 600, 600 when he can't raise
a son worth thirty cents? What man
can throw himself all into his business
and save any desirable fragment OF
himself out of the daily grind for an
example and an aid to his son? The
rags OF time and thought and sympathy
thrown to his children by the average
money hunting American would be an
insult to q foundlings' home fund.
There was a time when it was thought
to be life's success to have lived an
unselfish, untainted life in ones COM
munity, fulfilling the duties OF neigh
Dor and citizen and leaving to the
world, sons and daughters of clear
minds and high purpose. And 10
spite OF the great dollar mark on our
language and literature, this old
fashioned wholesome thought still in
heres to greater Or less degree in the
old American stock. 1t ia this com.
polling thought and this quiet life
that still keeps our country from
nervous prostration, bankruptcy and
states prison-the destiny to which
universal money hunger and money
worship would inevitably bear u.s.
