GRADUATE FROM
UNIVERSITY
Largest Class in History Of Ii.
StitutiOn Include Three
Willmar BOYS.

The thirty-sevcnth annual COM
mencement of the University of
Minnesota took place last Thursday,
when $50 students, the largest class
ever graduated, received diplomas
from President Cyrus Northrop.
Professor Maria L. Sanford, who
has seen % years of active service
at the university as head of the de-
partment of rhetoric, delivered the
commencement address, her subject
being, "What the University Can
Do for the State"
A touch of pathos surrounded the
graduation exercises, for with the
900 seniors, DR.. Jabez P. Brooks,
Professor Maria Sanford and Dean
Frederick S. Jones are lost to the
university. DR.. Brooks has been
head of the department of Greek
for forty years. He is the oldest
professor on the faculty, having
been elected when the university
was chartered in 1868. Before that
Professor Brooks was president of
Hamline uniervsity dt Red Wing
for eight years.
Among the graduates were three
Willmar boys, Walter Selvig, from
the department of chemistry, Maui
rice Jenness, from the Academic,
and Albert N. Gilbertson, who re-
ceived his Masters degree. Mr..
Jenness also graduated from the
military department, and he will be
reported with commentator to
the secretary of war and the adult
ant general of Minnesota. He will
return to the university in the fall
and continue his studies in the law
school. Mr.. Gilbertson will also
return and continue as assistant in
the department of anthropology,
with an advanced stipend. MIR.
Selvig is up in the northern part of
the state looking for a suitable
location.

QUESTION UP
TO The PEOPLE
DR.. Johnson States Three Wavs
in Which the Telephone Cues
tfon May be Settled.
Shows How Corrupt influence Of
Private Public Utility Cor
poration Plays Havoc
with City Politics.

Editor Tribune:
have had my say On the tele-
phone question and l do not care to
say any more directly on that issue.
1t is up to the people of Willmar to
give its citizens relief in some way
be it by compelling the telephone
company to submit to compliance
with the city charter and regulation
of rates, by city ownership, or by
granting an independent charter to
a private company. One of the
three methods must be chosen and
it is for the city voters to say
which.
But there is another aspect of
this question, to-wit: it's relation
to the purity of city politics. The
Gazette mentions the rottenness of
municipal politics as an argument
against city ownership. What
makes municipal politics rotten?
The corrupt influence of private
public utility corporations. It is
the same story everywhere from
Philadelphia to San Francisco
private public utility corporations
control the city council. and use it
for the benefit of these corporations
and against the best interest of the
municipality.
We all know that a municipal
plant cannot be operated as econom-
ically-not under the aldermnaic sys-
tenn anyway-as a private plant.
But the public, the consumers, ne
yer profit bv the economy of the
private plant. The owner of the
plant takes all profits, and more, all
he can squeeze out of the public.
Hence the private utility company
goes into city politics. elects alder
men favorable to its interests and
in a few years practically owns the
city. That is the experience in
every city. large or small, all over
the country. That is what makes
municipal government corrupt
everywhere. And the public is
everywhere coming to the conclu-
sion that if municipal politics are
ever to be purified private utility
corporations must go. That is why
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Anoka,
everywhere, the public are trying
to acquire at big expense private
public utilities such as gas plants,
electric plants and water and light
plants.
Now why should not Willmar
march in the front rank of this
movement? AS we have only one
private public utility plant-the
telephone exchange-why not clear
that out now on an equitable basis?
Our city politics for the last three
or four years has circled around the
telephone question and has been.
when sifted down, simply the tele-
phone company and it's interests VS..
the interests of the city. Do our
leading men really want this state
of affairs to continue? ask the
champions of the company this fair
question: Can any favors that that
company can extend to you COM
pensate you for keeping the tele-
phone question in the politics in
Willmar for years to come?

the church bell announced another
sad death in the Svea congregation.
On Friday evening at six O'Clock
the angel of death took from our
midst Mrs. Charles V. johnson of
West Whitefield. Little did we
think while attending their happy
marriage a year ago the eighteenth
that the first anniversary of their

row, grief and tears. She leaves
to mourn her early departure a be-
reaved husband, parents, three Sis
ters and one brother, and other re-
laties, besides host of friends.
One sister, Mrs. Oscar Lundberg,
passed away two years ago. The
day for the funeral has not been
decided on as yet.
Hark! The angels now are singing
Joyful songs in Paradise,
Welcoming home another dear
one,
Who has left for yon bright
skies.
That gentle voice no more we
hear;
Alas! 'Tis hushed in death.
Her lifeless form has been laid
low, ...
Beneath the cold. damp earth.
A lonely home, a vacant chair,
Tell US that one we loved
Will meet no longer with us here;
We hope to meet above. .
Anna, to say farewell to thee,
our anguish none can tell;
It seems it cannot, cannot be;
Yet, Anna dear, farewell!
