Private Mailing Cards.

The question of private mailing
cards is being much discussed by the
newspapers of the state and many of
trem have obtained a wrong Impress
ion Of the recent ruling Of the depart
ment Private mailing cards will not
be excluded from the mails July !, as
many people seem to think. They
must, however, conform to the law
regulating the matter. The Post News
took the pains to consult Deputy
Postmaster Brough on the matter and
with him looked up the ruling regu-
lating their use. The rulings of the
department are as follows: Cards
must not bear the words "United
States of America. Such cards are
mailable until July l, 1904.
The size of the card must be the
same as that OF postal card. The
weight and quality of paper used in
The manufacture Of the private cards
must be substantially that OF the
government postal card of like size.
They may be Of any color which does
not interfere with the legibility of the
address or postmark.
Each card must bear the word "Pos,
Card" on the address side, unob
structed by other matter and must be
in conspicuous letters. The words
must be SO placed as not to interfere
with the address or postmark.
The address may be in writing
printing, or by means of hand STAMP
or adhesive label.
Cards prepared by printers, in ad
dition to the above regulations should
bear in the upper right hand corner O

the words, 'place postage stamp here

Good Advice for the Boy.

Sonny, spare the robins and the
bluejays.
These birds are mentioned because
you seem to have q special grievance
against them.
Yes, they are saucy fellows, all
right, but as you we'll know that's
only bluff. They are clipper be-
cause they know what they are here
for and they are Independent because
they are good Americans.
And they mean business.
Did you ever notice how they go
after the worms and the grubs that
infest leaves and vines and trees? To
be sure they will sometimes.help them
selves to fruit if they can't find worms
But they really prefer worms a. q
steady diet. What if they d, occ .sion-
ally nip few berries or cherries?
B tier than you they have earned the
right to help themselves by helping to
save the crop.
Eyer thiok of that?
OF course it's hard to take dare
from q chatteriug bIuelay scolding at
you from a branch. Throw a stone : t
him, if you must, to teach him his
place. But be sure you miss him.
Now really, my boy, does it give
you any big satisfaction to pick up a
dead bird that YOU have killed?
Poor, bloody, pitiful little thing.
Have you ever lost brother or q
sister? Who knows but ,h,t some
brother bird feels like you did at that
time?
Besides, what right have you to
take the life of any living thing save
it may be for food? Paul Daily

close of that year. The fury of the thwarted
liquor element then broke loose over the
heads of the staunch temperance workers.
Threats of personal violence were made by
means of black-cap letters, etc. Much ep-
position was encountered and bitterness en-
gendered through the attempts to enforce
the law.
In 1894 the law was changed, permitting
a direct vote upon the question. This gave
the liquor element a temporary advantage,
the vote standing POI in favor of and 236
against license. But the power OF the liquor
element was broken never again to assert
the absolute sway Of former days.
In 1895, the liquor majority was only two
votes, the vote standing 255 to 253.
Again in 1896, the liquor majority was
only two votes, both sides having added an
equal number of votes, the vote standing
266 to 264.
In 1897 through an oversight no petition
for the submission of the question was filed
in time with the recorder.
In 1898 the partisan movement was inaug-
urated in village affairs. The temperance
people lacked organization and the vote
was light, only 45l votes being cast. Ii
cense won by vote of 238 to 2l3.
AT the close of this saloon period there
was a vast amount of floating Indebtedness
and it was necessary to issue $4,000 in
funding bonds TO take up the same. This
amount included the orders issued for the
erection of the electric plant and drilling
the city wells. During this period OF five
saloon years s21 900 were received in license
money, but it went as easily as it had come

nd took other good money with it.

and took other good money with it.
In 1899 the temperance people routed the
saloons by vote of 3O2 to PA, IS majority
for no-license, but we're not successful in
electing an administration to enforce the
policy
In 1900 the temperance people were again
successful on the issue, although their can
didates for officers to enforce the laws were
defeated. The majority against license was
81, although lob more votes were cast than
in the previous year.
In 1901 the result on the license question
was reversed, the vote standing 1892 to 306
in favor of saloons. Ten licenses we're
granted and $4,000 received in license
money. The debauchery of citizens and evil
effect upon legitimate business was so
marked that it was apparent to everyone.
How did the city finances fare? So reck-
less and extravagant had this saloon ad-
ministration been that they dare not show
the true state of affairs at the close of the
year, but published misleading summary
statement Beginning three years before
with a clean slate, this partisan movement,
of the saloon interests, by the saloon inter-
ests and for the saloon interests-had in
volved the city in a floating debt OF about
$4,000, which had been frittered away to-
gether with the license money OF 1901.
In 1902 the citizens arose and gave the Ii.
cense advocates the most stunning defeat
they had ever experienced, the vote stand
ing 1913 to PA. But they were again misled
to elect an administration friendly to the
license idea, and the result was that blind
pigs were allowed to run openly to the detri

The Burdens of a Citizen.

Did you ever stop to think that you
are an officer of the government?
Under our constitution and theory
Of cover nment when citizen is In the
presence of crime he is an official of
the law. It is his duty to see that the
law is enforced and tho criminal ap-
pretended Indeed if be fails of this
duty he is . partaker in the crime.
An old fashione doctrine?
Yes, more's the pity.
Every good citizen should study
our colonial and early history. Or,
rather, he should study the history of
the people of that-era, for that only is
true history which tells of the people
He woull learn that in those early
days two books were on the center
table of every citizen-the Bible and
the book of law. Whatever books
might comprise the library these were
always in evidence. Moreover they
were studied and as q result OF this
study

In those days of the fathers there
was not only the greatest respect for
the law but feeling of personal OBJ
legation respecting its enforcement.
The duties of citiz enship we're made q

How is it.today?
There are powerful remnants Of "the
New England conscience" in both

Is it not so?

ment of the no license policy. But there
was some new blood in the council, whom
by aid of the provisions of the new city
charter: managed to stop the reckless policy
OF expenditures and even pay a large
amount of bills contracted under the license
PERIOD and this without any saloon reve-
nue..
But no attempt was made to clear up the
uncertainty of the financial affairs of the
city incurred during the saloon year and
the partisan movement again put forward
for the sutfrages of the citizens of the city
the very men guilty of having so grossly
mismanaged the city's affairs.
In 1908 the battle was one of the most hot
ly contested of any in the history of the vii.
lage and city. One hundred and twenty
seven more votes were cast on the issue
than at the election of 1902. The no-license
people cast the largest number of votes in
the history of the city, but nevertheless
the majority was cut down to five. The
vote on the issue stood 1888 to 1888. But the
blind-pgs we're defeated, by majo, ity of
ll2, given S. B. Qvale for mayor. The IL
quor men strained every nerve to carry the
city. They'boasted that they succeeded in
voting forty illegal voters. The brewing
companies and whiskey trust contributed
funds-S50O from the former and $500 from
the latter, it is said. Young men were of
fered certain liberal cash considerations in
case the town went ''wet.' Every possible
influence was brought to bear. The par.
tisan movement was given crushing defea,
in the election. The books and records (o1
what there could be found of them) were
over hauled and checked over by an expert

sation of liquor. No question is settled
until it is settled right Those who wish to
see this question settled as soon as possible
in our city will help roll up a vote so large
against the saloons next Tuesday that the
re. submissionists will become discouraged.
Another lesson to be learned from the his
tory of the saloon fight at Willmar is the
absolute necessity of electing men to Office

accountant who found shortage of over
five thousand dollars. Action was begun
to recover the same from the bondsmen, and
settlement was effected recently by which
81 400 was paid into the city treasury by
the latter. The police department appointed
by Mayor Qvale has made good record
in suppressing the illegal sale of liquor,
practically disposing of the cry that the
laws cannot be enforced.
Thus the record Of the thirty years of the
corporate existence of Willmar shows that,
although saloon license money has been
paid from time to time to the total amount
of $50, 325, the village has been obliged to
bond and tax itself for every permanent inn
provement of any consequence so far made.
Saloon money comes "easily'' and goes
easily. The saloon element rather prefers
to have the treasury IN hopeless condition
in order to make the most of their argument
'we need the money!
The period from 1874 to 1892 may be de.
signated as the saloon period of Willmar.
AS frontier town and railroad division
point it was regarded as inevitable that it
must have liquor saloons. Since 1892 the
fight for clean town has been on. Since
that time the town has doubled in popula-
ton and valuation. The city has grown
from village to one of the best of the
| smaller cities in the state, and thanks to
the efforts of the better class of its citizens
it is now regarded as one of the very clean
