MAKE THE FAIR A SUCCESS.

Let everyone who has the good
of Willmar at heart enlist in the
effort to make the coming street
fair an event worthy of the city.
The city must and will make good
on the fair proposition this year.
Willmar is now the leading city of
this section of the state, but it
will depend upon the public spirit
and push of its citizens whether
it will continue to grow or not.
We have the greatest faith in the
future of the town, and believe
that we are on the eve of a great
development. People with money
to invest are not looking for dead
towns. They will not hitchup
with croakers who are forever sit
ting back on the breeching straps.
They are looking for live and pro-
gressive communities that give pro-
mise for growth.
Willmar has achieved a reputa-
tion as a good town. Now let US
keep it up. The coming street fair
is an opportunity where every citi-
zen can contribute to spread the
fame our city and interest people
in the advantages of our town. 1t
is necessary to have financial sup
port. but it is still more necessary
to have the moral support. If you
can't contribute money and cannot
give time to assist, you can talk.
Talk right. Sit down on the croak-
er. If you can't say a word in ia
vor Of having a good fair, keep
still. If you can't help, don't him
der.
Let every loyal citizen encourage
the committee. Make as much Of
a contribution as you can possibly
spare. Volunteer to help. Ask
the committee for something to do
to help make the fair a success.
We have great resources of public
spirit if it can be loosened up. Let
US all unite and do something for
Willmar.

The Burden of N1illtariS m

The cost of a first-class battleship
equals the valuation of all the land
and the one hundred buildings Har-
ward University has accumulated in
$50 years, plus all the land and
buildings of Hampton and Tuskegee
Institutes. A modern battleship
becomes practically useless in fifteen
years.
We have fought European foes
only three years in the one hundred
and twenty four years since the Re-
volution. In every foreign war we
made the first attack. With less
danger from attack than any other
nation, we are now spending more
for past war and preparation for
future war than any other nation
in the world.
Since 1900 our population has in
creased twenty-five times. Our ex-
penditure for ornaments has in
creased two hundred and twenty
times, while danger has diminished.
We are spending sixty-fve per
cent of our national revenue for
ornaments, pensions, and interest
on war debts, and have only one
third for congress, the judicial and
executive departments, coastguard,
lighthouses, quarantine, customs,
post Offices, census, waterways,
forestry, consular and diplomatic
service, and all other constructive
work of the national government.
In four years we have killed by
accident, largely preventable, eighty
thousand more persons than per-
ished by bullets on both sides in
four years of civil war. Every
year we destroy vastly more life
and property by the internal enc
mies-ignorance, preventable dis
ease and crime-than in all our six
years of war with foreign powers.
We are blind to the enemies at
home and show an ignoble fear of
suppositious enemies abroad who
have never attacked US or shown
i'll feeling towards us. We're we
to put our taxes into the improve
ment of education, commerce and
agriculture, instead of into explo-
sives and new battleships, we should
do thousand times more for real
defense.
Our agreement with Great Bri-
tain in 1917 to remove forts and
battleships on our three thousand
miles of northern frontier ensured
peace and thereby saved hundreds
of millions of dollars in needless
defense. Advocate of Peace.

1t is time that the independents,
democrats. prohibitionists and
others who want somebody to vote
for congressman in this district get
together and prevail on some good
man to make the run. D. H.
Evans of Traby has been suggested.
He is a man who is eminently fit
ted for the place, and is a good
campaigner. With a good spirited
campaign there would be a chance
of carrying the district. People
will get tired of voting against
their own interests in time and will
consider it a privilege to vote for
a man who will truly represent
them as an agricultural community.

mers should be taxed to death on
everything they buy for the benefit

Of course the immense fine levie

Of course the immense fine levied
against the Standard Oil company
was RENTED. Nobody expected
that such a decision rendered
against corporation that practi-
cally controls American finance and
to great extent it's politics, could
pass muster before any judge be-
fore whom the company brought
the case for revision. But the ex-
posture OF the methods of that gil
gantic trust made before Judge
Lands cannot be covered up by any
of its judicial servants. The Gross
cup decision makes it plain that no
fine can be levied that will be of
any value in lettering the Standard
from breaking the laws of the land.
1t begins to look as if regulation
Of these giant monopolies is an i'm
possibility. Very we'll; if they
can't be regulated they must be
supplanted by government monopo-
ly, which can be reached by the
people thru it's officers. The peo-
pie as rule do not want socialism,
but if driven to choice between
monopoly that is above the law
and government ownership they will
take the latter. Rockefeller and
Grosscup are preaching socialism
much more effectively than Debs
with all his eloquence can do.

A Voice From DeGraff.

1t is stated in the Liquor Manu-
facturers and Dealers Club litera-
ture being broadcasted about that
merchants in dry towns said their
trade left them and sought the wet
places; that business places became
vacant and dwelling houses empty.
We can say that they haven't ap-
peared in this wet place. We are
wet, our neighbors are dry. Some
Of our best dwelling houses are
empty. It's a wonder the wet
wouldn't keep them occupied, or
full as it were. And we are as wet
as-well, we won't say what. Wet
creameries here would bring trade
the same as they do to our neigh
bors, but all the saloons in Mime
sofa wouldn't draw trade to the
merchants ard business people of
any community. The trade does
not follow the saloon. The saloon
follows the trade the same as
American commerce follows the
American flag.
The whole question of License be-
ing allowed in any community or
village rests upon the amount of
money that ACQUIRES to the village
or community treasury from the
license granted. The majority, we
dare say the vast majority, who
vote for license in village or city,
would not only vote against it but
would strain every nerve to pre-
vent it, if no money accured to the
village or city treasury from the
hooded business. The license ques-
tion clearly proves that we have
not yet reached the apex of enlight-
ened civilization and manhood.
Like Joseph's brothers, we still sell
the body and sou! Of our brother
into the slavery of hell for mess
of pottage. We cannot see that
above the fog and the slime and mire
of dollarhood there is the clear at
mosphere, the sunkissed wales, the
green fields and the sublime heights
of manhood, and the precious real
estate of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness. -DeGraff Core
spondent to Swift Co. (Benson) Re-
view.

Joel Heatwole believes that the
county option issue will survive, in
spite of the fact that the republican
state convention sat down on it
with all the weight of the brewer
agents and corporation tools pre-
sent in the aforesaid gathering.
Joel is right. When the people
really want thing they will get it,
tho the interests and their political
henchmen may delay action for
some time. There is mighty host
of temperance men in Minnesota
who want county option and who
are more for that issue than for
party name.
