dependent. it ought to be Just as
creditable for q newspaper to be
independent.
The party designation Of q candi-
date should be stricken off from the
official ballot. The party organiza-
tion is subject to change every two
years. but the name goes right on,
regardless of the crowd that is u.s.
ing it. If there were no party
names on the ballot a voter would
have to know who his candidates
were or he could not vote. In some
states each party adopts an emblem
or picture to be printed on the bal
lot to enable the ignorant voter to
find his party ticket. Thus the IL
literate voter votes for the pillow,
the rooster, etc., as the case may
be. It has come to a pass where
the party designation on the ballot
is used mostly to line up a lot of
unthinking and prejudiced voters,
and might we'll be dispensed with
without injuring any party with a
legitimate claim for it's existence.

In these days of official subser-
viency to corporation influence it is
refreshing to hear of a member of
congress who has the courage to
stand on his own feet and say what
he thinks about the methods of his
party. It is also refreshing to see
that sort of an official make head
way. The other day the Beacon
challenged the press Of the state to
refuse their support to any member
of congress who was unwilling to
pledge himself to vote against the
retention of Joseph G. Cannon in
his present position; and here comes
Congressman Lindberg who openly
condemns the Cannon crowd and
goes after them in plain terms.
What we need is more men, many
more of them, who have the cour.
age to take such a stand and main.
tain it. There has been too much
crooking the pregnant hinges of the
knee to the Cannon oligarchy by
weak members. and by others who,
having something they want passed,
are afraid OF take stand against
the tyrannical methods of the
speaker; who continues to demon.
strate his sympathy for the down
trodden and much abused corpora.
tions. It is pleasing, too, to see
that Mr.. Lindberg succeeds in get.
ting things he was sent to congress
to get; for instance, a handsome ap-
preparation for public building at
Brainerd. The Beacon extends its
greetings and congratulations to
MIR. Lindberg and prays for more
like him.-Cannon Falls Beacon.
Congressman Lindberg also vot.
ed against the Ubiquitous currency
bill, the most vicious kind of class
legislation. To stand alone for jus.
ticc when ones party stands solid
for injustice requires courage Of
the rarest sort.

This paper is opposed to munich
pal ownership of telephone system,
and if the real plan of the Tribune
and those who bark whenever it
whistles is to go into the telephone
business, they can rest assured they
will have a fight on their hands,
Willmar Gazette.
Very we'll. The above is about
as plain a statement as can be
made. The sooner the issue is de-
cided the better. Municipal owner
ship is the best solution of the tele-
phone question in this city. 1t
would give the ideal condition of
one exchange to which all lines en-
tering the city could have access
en- equal terms and at the same time
do away with the monopoly control
of competing lines in this neighbor-
hood. Further it would give the
city revenue, whereas now the city
gets nothing. The Tribune does
not control the council and does not
pretend to. 1t believes city owner
ship is the correct solution and is
perfectly willing to trust whoever
are elected public officials in the
city to administer the business. If
city ownership carries, the city
officials will have to do with the
business, not the Tribune. But the
Tribune expects to participate in
the benefits such ownership and con-
troll would give the citizens of the
city generally.

INDEPENDENCE IN POLITICS.

~ 1uNs
INDEPENDENCE IN POLITICS.
Referring to recent statement
regarding the political attitude of
the editor of the Willmar Tribune,
the Browns Valley Tribune says
that in Minnesota an Independent is
always a democrat. In our case we
have supported Democrats for Office.
We supported Bryan twice for
president, Lind for governor three
times and johnson once. If that
makes a democrat of US, we'll and
good. In the meantime we have
supported various republican, pop
ulist and prohibition candidates.
The Tribune was the only paper
that supported Peter Bonde for
sheriff two years ago, and thus
helped to elect the first prohibition
sheriff of the Northwest. We are
contributing such space and means
as we can spare to assist the prohi-
bition organization, feeling safe
that this is a movement actuated by
principle and not simply a cabal
organized to secure offices. If that
makes a prohibitionist of US, well
and good. We expect to take an
active interest in the republican
primaries this fall, using what lit
tie influence the Tribune may have
to assist in the nomination of such
candidates as we believe represent
the liberal and progressive element
of the population in our county and
whom we do not believe are so hide
bound partisans that they can be
whipped by the party bosses to do
the work of the reactionary ele-
ment. If you choose to call us a
republican for so doing, such is
your privilege.
But the Tribune has never hest
tated to state where we stood on
PUBLIC QUESTIONS, and that
we consider as far more important
than making choice between two
old parties both honeycombed with
rottenness.
We challenge the Browns Valley
Tribune or the Willmar Gazette to
name any question or issue in ia
vor of the masses of the people on
which either one of the old parties
are united. These parties repre-
sent no progressive principles. Old
party names mean nothing now un-
less they are qualified with some
thing to indicate what faction or
idea within the party that they re-
present. We would have no objec-
tion to being called a La Toilette
republican or an Oklahoma demo-
crat, but in either case we would
be with the minority of the party.
A party organization is simply a
means to an end. It's legitimate
function is to represent some idea
or principle of government. When
such question is disposed of or set
tied the mission of that organiza.
tion is over. AS now constituted,
the two old parties simply fight fol-
the offices and dodge the questions
pressing for solution. They have
secured the allegiance of number
CT voters, happily growing less in
number, who vote for the party re.
CARELESS of what it stands for OF
who are their candidates. Party
organization is necessary, but prin.
ciples and men to back them up are
indispensable for good government.
We want to know for what the men
we vote for stand, and old party
names tell US no longer. That's
why we are independent. That is
why every progressive voter now
says, Il vote independently" Il
it is creditable for a voter to be in

Will Erect New Building.

AS result of the agreement for
reference, regarding lot lines and
boundaries, as mentioned in another
column, John G. Griffin and George
Sampson are to push work on their
new building, corner Water street
and Madison avenue, with all possible
speed. They already have plans and
specifications, prep ared by architect
William Hart Taylor of Boston and it
is expected that a contract can be
awarded from them in the early flu
ture.
This building is to be two stories
high with fiat gravel roof, draining
in center. The walls will be of mot
tied brick, much like the brick i'll the
front of the Merrill block, but slight
~ lighter in color. 1t will be III the
Tudor style of architecture which is
specially adapted to lcorner location.
The Water street frontage of this
block will be about twenty two and
one half feet and its Madison avenue
line something like fifty two feet, On
Water street the lower story which
will be occupied by the Sampson x
Avore drug store, will present one
continuous plate glass show window
and there will also be one window for
display purposes facing Madison
i avenue, on the left of the entrance
u,b;ob 10 looota6 ffirantlU aprnas the
corner, as in the old block, forming
an angle OF forty five degrees with
each street. The second floor is de-
signed for offices and the entrance to
same will be from Madison avenue.
The construction will be of the most
modern and substantial kind through e
out. 1t is hoped to have it ready for
occupancy by September 1st.
