square deal. As it is now, every
user Of the telephone is confined to
those long distance lines that con-
meet with the exchange, unless they
wish to walk up town and find the
booths of the competing companies.
City ownership would insure abso-
lutely fair and just treatment to all
concerned and give the city the
ideal conditions of having just one
system, making it possible for tele-
phone users to reach every line COM
ing into the city. These who are
in favor of that the telephone sys-
TEN of Willmar shall develop along
the line of only one system, must
vote for and be in favor Of city
ownership. In no other way can
this condition be realized. We be-
lieve that it is the duty of the
council, without unnecessary delay,
to submit for the decision Of the
people the question of the city
adopting the law, as above stated,
giving the council authority to &C.
quire the exchange.
The third solution of the ques-
ton would come it the people of
the city should by: vote state that
they do not wish the city to operate
the telephone system. A local COM
pany will then without any ques-
ton be organized and ask for a
franchise to compete with the
Northwestern. For a time there
would be two exchanges. but we
have little doubt that the home
company would at once secure the
bulk of the business as has. been the
case in each city of Minnesota 50
far where the proposition has been
tried, notably Litchfield, Brecken-
ridge, Red Wing, Mankato, Albert
Lea, Austin, Madelia, Granite
Falls, etc.

crimes have decreased 70 per cent
under the prohibition regime.

s
A. H. Ford, president of the Biz
mingham, Alabama, Railway, Light
and Power Company, says that since
the city went into the dry column
January l, accidents among patrons
Of the street railway lines have
fallen off 50 per cent, and the off,
cials of the United States Steel
Company at Ensley, near Birming-
ham, say accidents in their plants
have decreased 65 per cent, largely
because the public and the employees
are not so often under the influence
of liquor.
They say "Uncle Joe" insists on
being the whole works in the lower
house of Congress and that those
who are not on his list might as
we'll be at home milking the COWS.
Some people are still ignorant
enough to believe that the Little
field bill, which provided for dis
continuing interstate liquor ship
ments into prohibition territory,
was killed when the house commit
tee turned it down, but most peo-
pie understand that it was dead
long before that committee ever
saw it. "Uncle Joe" gave it the
meat-ax on the first day of the ses-
sion when the committee was ap-
pointed.
Please bear in mind that it was

THE CITY ATTORNEYSHIP.

The election of Sam Porter as
city attorney at the meeting Of the
new council last Thursday evening,
was the greatest victory for the re-
dictionary element at Willmar that
has occurred for many a day. It
seems incredible that at this time,
when the city is engaged in con-
troversy with the telephone COM
pany regarding questions of great
est Importance to the city regard
ing the control of it's streets and
public service corporations, that
the city council should deliberately
place it's case in the hands Of an at
torney whose sympathies up to this
time have been against the city in
it's present attitude and who, it is
understood, has been the local re-
preventative of the telephone inter-
ests for years back. This action is
simply another evidence Of the fact
that powerful interests are at work
to block any attempt at a solution
of the telephone question in Will
mar which would free the city
from the dominating control Of the
telephone trust.
This action was the first test vote
on how the new council stands.
Of the old members of the council
Gratz, Spicer and Freeberg may be
considered those who stand firmly
for settlement that will protect
the city's rights and Pinney as a
reactionary. In regard to the four
new members of the council there
was some doubt as to where they
might stand. Ahlstrom won out
after hard fight on the issue and
was conceded to stand with the re.
dictionaries. 1t was confidently ex.
pected that Dahlheim and Nelson
would take the peoples side on the
telephone question. In as far as
the vote on the city attorney may
be criterion, however, all the
new aldermen may be c'assed with
the reactionaries. Aldermen Gratz
Spicer and Freeberg voted to re-
tain the former city attorney, Stan.
ford, and Aldermen Nelson, San.
derson, Ahlstrom, Pinney and
Dahlheim voted for Porter. Mel.
son and Dahlheim claim that they
voted for Porter on other consider.
ations and that they will not be
swayed when the time comes tc
vote directly on the telephone ques.
ton; that Porter will simply be
their servant and will not be per.
mitted to dictate in any way as tt
what action the council shall take.
Time will soon tell.
Three of the five votes that elect.
ed Porter came from the Third and
Fourth wards. Third ward voted
deliberately in favor of the Tallman
program in the election and has to
take this bitter pill with the best
grace it can. In the case of the
Fourth ward, however, it has al.
ways given large majority against
the corrupting First ward infu-
ences and the citizens are very in
dignant over the action of Alderman
Dahlheim in voting for Porter.
Porter has always stood with the
license forces of this city and with
the crowd that has opposed every
measure proposed for cleaning up

Tho Union Mutuals Report Contains
Many Items Of Interest.
Sometimes the point of view regarding life
insurance is altogether that of an outlay
which must regularly be made in the form of
a premium requirement, but the annual re-
port Of an institution which makes its BUSH
ness that Of assuming protection upon lives.
shows there is much else to the work.
and that the other features are more import
ant and more helpful. 1t appears, for in
stance, from the annual report Of the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Portland.
Maine, printed elsewhere in this issue, that
millions of dollars have been distributed
among bene6ciaries since the company was
organized nearly sixty years ago, and that
more than s1o00.000 is now being disbursed
annually among policyholders. An institu-
ton whose regular business causes it to hand
to benefciaries such large sums every year is
certainly factor of Importance in any COM
munity, and Of pronounced help to the many
localities where the money goes, in 1907 it
having been scattered among thirty-six states
and Canada.
The report shows a large increase in assets
and in surplus. which is particularly satisfy
ing because of the depressed financial mar
kets last year, and the uncommon insurance
conditions which prevailed. 1t is still further
pleasing to understand that the quotations of
securities, used in valuing the assets, were
made jointly by three of the leading banking
houses of New England which gives positive
assurance that they are not only reliable but
also conservative.
Much has been done for Maine by the Union
Mutual, which has, since Hon. Fred f. Rich
ards has been president, now more than four
teen years, adhered uninterruptedly to the
policy of giving preference to Maine invest
ments whenever they were the equal of those
that could be procured elsewhere. BY this
course many thousands of dollars have been
placed in the State in ways that would not
only give the Union Mutual strong invest
meDts, but would also upbuild and advance
the prosperity of communities. Certainly the
people OF the State ought to show their appre-
citation of these things by placing their poll
cies with an institution that is so Loyalty de-
voted to the interests of Maine. 1t is only the
square deal" to reciprocate in this way,
which is the only method available TO the
people. and is the course that would be most
satisfactory to the Union Mutual's manage
ment.
