GOOD TlrlES AHEAD

The Great Northern railway is re-
trenching and the first effects of the
new order came the first of the year
when a number of train crews and
Office men in Willmar were laid off
Further reductions are said to be com
ing and some of the men who have
been with the company in this city for
many years are little nervous over
prospects. No extra trains are being
run at present and the officials declare
the regular business is lighter than it
has been for ten years. However, a
change is looked for in few weeks.
The movement in grain has been at a
standstill during the holidays season
but the markets are now lowering
about the dollar mark for wheat and
barley and this will coax out the far
mers over the northwest who have
grain to sell. Eastern monev centers
are loosening up little and the firsts
of the week resumed cash payment
and a free exchange of currency.
Many factories in the east and west
which were closed with the arrival of
the money squeeze opened last week
and this week thousands of idle men
have returned to work. These con-
ditions will speedily affect the central
states, particularly this section, and
the Great Northern will soon have
occasion to get busy Willmar Re-

mWoe to them that call evil good
and good evil" "Woe to them
that seek deep to hide in the dark,
and they say who seeth us? and
who knoweth us?" There are men
here who are ashamed to come out

with this "wide open" whiskey
element, but are working silently,
and giving "dark" advice to active
workers, and we know them. ''Woe

broaden out now into the country.

Continues
Political Matters.
Points Out Some Pertinent
Facts Concerning The
Local Political At
mosphere.
Editor of the Enterprise:

|
week, when any great moral issue
arises in community it is surpris-
ing to see how some men who
claim to have the good of human
lily at heart, will line up ON the
immoral side.
OF course there is o class in
Fitzgerald who arc always on the
immoral side Of every question,
and at all times, the men who fl
vorcd saloons and laborcd to keep
them here; the men who "knew
the town would 90 to the dogs if
deprived of the whiskey tax"
THE men who are considered cline
| fellows" at gaming table; the
men who are generally designated
as "Sports," or as belonging to
the "fast set;" The men who fav-
or and follow questionable resorts,
are all lined up together.
Now, if whiskey and charter
Egiving all the privileges Of the
wide open policy, is not the issue
in this campaign, why don't we
find some of this element lined up
with Dickson.
Very true indeed is that Scrip
ture which says: "The OK know
eth his owner, and the ass his
masters crib"
Where the carcass is, we find
the eagles.
Yet among this very class we
find a few men who ordinarily
stand for good, when they stand
at all. 1t is indeed painful sight
to see even two Or three such men
give their consent to leave the side
of honor and morality at a trying
time, and be found walking in
the way of Sinners, and sitting in
the seat of the Scornful." Can
these men ever be depended upon
again, at any time?
Somehow we can't get our mind
off of these words of Jesus, as he
cast his loving anxious eyes upon
the twelve disciples as one by one
others were leaving him, and ask
ed in piteous tones: "Will We also
go away?.' We ask today, will
another man who pretends to
stand for q clean moral community
and for honor and integrity 60
away and associate himself with
the evil? Only very few have
done this, and what do you sup
pose they give as their reasons
why only that, che is a clever sort
of fellow, some Of h is family
or friends belong to the church
to which l belong;" etc. etc.
Judas belonged to the same
company to which the eleven other
disciples belonged. Thank Go1i

And thank God our men 4oe' av
are not all following those who
turn traitors to the good AM. pure.
Some of us can't afford to sacri.
flee our influence and usefulness.
Some men don't seem to know
very much about what the i'm
perishable word of Coo says in re.
gard to these municipal affairs
authorities, and the Taen who sun.
port them, others of us seem to
think that all the judgements of
God pronounced upon persons and
parties who seek to bring wicked
devices to pass, are all a thing of
the past, but the word of God tells
us; "Heaven and earth shall not
pass away" And again: "Jesus
Christ the same yesterday, today
and forever" That is, what the
allpowerful God has done in the
past he viii do today and will con-
tinue to do for all time to come.
