TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

Notices have been mailed to all
our subscribers outside of the
county and adjacent territory
whose subscriptions are not paid
in advance that the paper will
stop on April 1, unless a renewal
is received or unless we receive
a written request to continue the
paper for some definite time.
We have several hundred SUBJ
scribers scattered thruout the
west and Canada, and the percen-
tage of loss has proven too great
to warrant a continuance of the
old policy of long credits. The
advance payment of subscrip-
tons is che most satisfactory to
both subscribers and publishers.
Under our new system, anyone
who wishes to send the paper to
friends or relatives outside of the
county can do so with the abso-
lutte assurance that the paper
will be discontinued when the
time paid for has expired, unless
a renewal has been received.
The TRIBUNE will shortly re-
move to larger quarters, and will
install a new ettingmachine
and make other improvements to
keep the paper in the front rank
of country journalism. ''The
Best Newspaper for Kandiyohi
County Homes, :" is what we are
trying to make the TRIBUNE, and
it naturally follows that it is the
best newspaper for former resi-
dents who wish to keep in touch
with doings and happenings
among their old friends and
neighbors.
If all that is due the publisher
on subscription were paid now,
it would enable him to do a great
many things that would help the
paper beyond what is possible to
be done as it now stands. Our
subscribers thus have it in their
own hands to contribute towards
keeping the TRIBUNE going for
ward all the time.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1907-03-20

It is an insult to the intelli.
gence of the voters of Willmar to
say that there is no more drink
ing now and the liquor traffic is
better controlled now than during
the last four years of no-license.
If the license advocates have no
better arguments than such fool
statements they had better sub
NIT their case without argument:
The large contingent of honest
license voters who are not them
selves directly interested in the
sale of the stuff, have had ample
opportunity to notice the differ
ence during the past few months,
and we believe that the verdict
which they will render a week
from next Tuesday will reflect
their good Judgment in voting
for clean city. 5=

The call for a mass meeting
signed by eighteen citizens and
published in the TRIBUNE last
week brought out a large crowd
at. the Bonde Hall Monday night.
Those assembled presented an
unusual combination in this city.
All interests were there, and all
shades of beliefs on the license
issue were represented. The
action of the temperance people
in not providing a straight no.
license ticket, gave a chance for
all the people who differ with the
coterie in power in regard to the
village finances and the telephone
question to get together. The
telephone question was quite
thoroly aired. Even the repre-
sentative Of the company who
was present was forced to admit
that there is such a question.
The method of bringing out the
first ticket was criticised, and no
one cared to raise a voice in it's
defense, altho opportunity to do
so was presented. The resolu-
tions adopted are clear cut on the
issues mentioned. The mass
meeting settled one thing con.
clusively that the people Of the
city will not tolerate any pander-
ing to the telephone company,
nor any extrayagant exp nditure
of public money.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1907-03-20

will proceed to determine their
rights and fight for them:
The city council charged the
Tri. State company 81, 900 for
maintaining one or two toll sta
tions in the city for ten years.
The local exchange has operated
ten years without paying a cent
to the. city, and thanks to the
city's franchise have built up q
business where the annual re-
ceiptspow equal 800 per cent of
the original investment. No one
begrudges the company their
prosperity, but it:should be made
to tote fair; and NOT BE PER-
M1TTED TO STEAL A PERPETUAL
FRANCHISE simply because the
city has been good to it in the
past.
Unless the citizens get together
and prevent it, it is plain that the
city will be 'thornswoggled" out
of it's telephone franchise, and
the TRIBUNE is glad to join a
movement to prevent it. 1t does
not ask for anything but the pri-
vilege of fighting in the ranks.
1t is perfectly plain BY THE
ABOVE CLIPPING that G. F. Spen-
Ger has been completely 'horn-
swoggled," and we presume it
was done by the usual means.
1t certainly is a humiliating posi-
ton for newspaper to take.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1907-03-20

A nice little farce will be enacted
Monday evening in the basement of
the library, the intention of which is to
furnish little demagogical buncombe
for the Tribune gang. The affair is
promoted by Alderman Holt and the
admission will be free. The farce will
consist of what Mr.. Holt styles a
"hearing" and will be an attempt to
have the council thresh over the straw
that was threshed out in the last term
of court in which bartender was
convicted of selling liquor to a minor.
Mr.. Holt was told that if he had any
knowledge of illegal sale of liquor it
was his sworn duty as peace officer
to make complaint to the municipal
court and have the matter brought to
trial but this he refused to do. Alder
man Pinney offered to do it for him if
he would produce the evidence but
this also he refused to do. Everybody
is invited to see the farce, Monday
evening.-The local outspoken saloon
organ.
We reproduce the above that
our readers may see with what
contempt the license champions
scout any attempt to regulate the
licensed saloons as to make them
live up to the terms of their IL
eense. We're the advocates of IL
cense sincere in their talk of
strict regulation, they would be
the first to welcome an inquiry
as to the conduct of the saloons.
If the city attorney and those
aldermen whom he represents
can make it so, there is no doubt
that the hearing will be a farce,
exactly as the policy of "strict
regulation'' has been ever since
the saloons opened. Alderman
Holt deserves credit for bringing
this matter up, thus giving a
chance to the aldermen to commit
themselves directly on the regu-
lation of the saloons.

A great deal of interest has been
aroused by the Introduction of a bill
affecting the primary election, which
will relieve our primary law of two of
its greatest objections.
J Under the present system the voter
must select the clerical officers of his
county on account OF their belief or
adherence to some party policy in
which the administration of his Office
has no part. The folly of this is very
apparent. No business firm in en-
ploying a bookkeeper or cashier or
shipping clerk Or stenographer would
inquire into the religious or political
belief of any applicant, but rather in
to his integrity, ability and capacity.
This bill, which is House File No. 1914,
introduced by T. E. Noble of Freeborn
county, provides that all clerical Of
fees such as auditor(or bookkeeper) J,
treasurer or county cashier), register
OF deeds(or real estate registrar),
superintendent of schools, surveyor
and like Offices shall be absolutely nom
partisan. Nominees therefor shall pay
the usual fees but shall not declare
party utilization, and the name of each
candidate shall appear on the primary
ballots of all political parties, and
after his name shall be no party des-
ignation. The three candidates for
each office receiving the highest vote
at the primary on all tickets shall be
placed upon the general election ballot
for the November election, but with
out party designation.
Heretofore, a man desiring a county
Office could get under the dominant
party tent for auditor, for instance,
even through he was densely ignorant,
and become the official bookkeeper of
the county. In 40 least one instance
in this state, a county auditor was not
equipped with sufficient education to
enable him to write a simple letter.
Indeed, he could scarcely sign his
name. Still the official records of the
county were under his charge. OF
course in this instance the county paid
him for doing nothing, and then paid
a sufficient number of deputies to at
tend to all his work. But the ill.,
stances are legion where very inferior
service has resulted from partisan
election to non-partisan Offices. This
law will improve the clerical service
OF the county. It will result in the Sc
lection of the best men with best equip
ment for each Office.
It will give each voter, of whatever
political creed, the right to take his
choice of all men who seek election to
those offices that do not have to do
with the administration of party poll

Successful Meetings Closed.

After a series of revival meetings
extending a little over two weeks,
which were so ably conducted here by
Mr.. Tom Mackey, the we'll known
evangelist and his wife departed on
Monday for Minneapolis, where Mr..
Mackey will fill long engagement.
He will conduct a series of meetings
at the Union Mission and also at the
Bethlehem Presbyterian church in that
city. Mrs. Mackey goes to Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, where she will be en-
gagged for some time in the same work.
During Mr.. Mackey's meetings in
Willmar large number of people pro-
fessed conversion as a result of his
powerful exposition of the Christian
doctrine. At the closing meeting on
Sunday evening every available seat
In the Presbyterian church was &C.
cupied and a number had come out
for the first time to hear the evangelist,
but owing to illness Mr.. Mackey was
unable to be present The large audi
ence however was most happily disap-
pointed, for the pastor delivered a
very eloquent sermon in his stead.
A very pleasant feature of Mr.. Mack
ey's stay here was when he was pre-
sented with handsomely bound Bible
on Sunday afternoon by the large
class of converts, who felt that the
gift was one which would show their
great appreciation OF the benefits that
they had received.
