A few people from this vicinity
attended the graduation exercises at
the Aurora school last Thursday
night. A very good program was
rendered, and the lecture delivered
by Prof. Nelson from New London,
was both instructive and encourage
ing to the young graduates, as we'll

following received diplomas from
the eighth grade: Gunder Johnson,

BJORNSTJERNE BJORNSON.

Bj0rnstjerne Bj0rnson, Norway's
Grand Old Man, is no more. That
is, the earthly Bj0rnson, has passed
away. His spirit will 60 on and
on until the end of time. THAT
will not, cannot die. Bj0rnson was
the embodiment of the Norwegian
spirit, a spirit to which he gave
new life when it seemed about to
die, the spirit which means today
in the world Of intellectual en-
deavor what the Viking meant in
the physical world in the days of
old. He found a people blindly
worshipping at the shrines of for
eign powers of art, unconscious of
it's own talent, a people lulled to
sleep by the deeds Of the heroes of
old, people without songs of it's
own, without ideals of it's own.
He stirred the sleeping spirits as
no man ever stirred them before.
He was the Moses Of his race, show
ing the way from the flesh-pots of
imitation of foreign art to the
promised land Of glory gained by
intellectual and spiritual independ-
ence. Wherever the fight was the
thickest, there he was. Threats,
derisive criticism, persecution
availed nothing. He had seen vi
sion. and he was going to make his
people see it. He had faith in
himself, faith in his nation and
faith in God, and with that in his
heart and mind he fought for the
thing which he saw his country
needed, political and intellectual
liberty. He won. He lived to see
his people awakened to sense of
a new national life, and he lived to
see the intellectual achievement of
his nation spread abroad to be po-
tent factor in the worlds future
history. Bj0rnson was the most
versatile man Norway has ever had +.
He was an orator, deba1er, play
wright, patriot and poet. He
swayed the people politically as no
man had ever swayed them, he dis

state institution here this season.
At no previous time in the history
of the city was there so many diff
ferent projects afoot for the i'm
provement and identifying of the
city. The big auditorium now be-
ing erected by the Willmar Park
Assembly together with the grounds
secured for the same will give WILL
mar facilities for taking care of
the largest gatherings, and the in
dications are that they will come.
The question of lake improvement
is one Of the most vital, the sewer
question likewise. and there are
other questions that will perhaps
require settlement before the year
is over.
Now what we wish to bring out
strongly is that this is the year for
every loyal citizen to push and push
hard. Not simply in a perfunctory
manner but with all his might and
main to further the development
and improvement of Willmar.
There is always some particular
thing that you can do better than
anyone else. When that opportun-
ity comes or when your particular
duty presents itself don't dodge it.,
but grapple courageously with it
and DO YOUR PART. If all will
do that. 1910 will so down in local
history as one Of the red letter
years in the building up of WILL
mar.

cussed political questions with a
depth Of understanding and fer
vor that made warm friends or bit
ter enemies, and he wrote plays
that made people think whether
they wanted to or not.
But it is as a lyric poet and
writer of peasant tales that Bj0rn-
son will be remembered the longest.
Some of his lyric poems are the fin
est found in any language, songs
that have become popular in many
countries thru the compositions of
Kjerulf, Nordraak. Grieg. Gron-
dahl and others. His "Synneva
Solbakken'' has been called the
great divide in the literature of
Norway, the corner stone of the
mighty literary dome raised by the
great authors of the land of the
North. Bj0rnson neither disparaged
peasant life, nor did he idealize it.
He just painted it and the peasant
as they appeared to him. And such
pictures! With the rugged, fur
rowed, weather-beaten land, rising
from the foam,' as background he
painted 1.-The thousand homes in
colors the beauty and richness Of
which defy analysis or description,
and his stories also prove his deep
and sympathetic understanding of
the inner life of the peasant. One
of the greatest events of his life
was the writing of the Norwegian
National Hymn, Eyes, we Love
this Land of Ours" This song more
than anything else helped to unite
Norway. divided against itself, and
establish a feeling of national SELF
consciousness.
Bj0rnstjerne Bj0rnson is gone.
"After Life's fitful fever he sleeps
WE'LL" But the force of his spirit
will be felt wherever men shall
struggle for freedom, for honor and
for justice, and it will help to has
ten the day when all men shall be
united in the larger brotherhood of
love, liberation and liberty.

THE AUTO HAS COME TO STAY.

At the rate with which the coun-
try is filling up with automobiles
the time is coming when it will be
quite as common to see farmer
coming to town with his family in
an automobile as it is now to see
the city people make excursions in
to the country with them. The art
of the manufacture of these and
kindred vehicles is something that
is bound to develop greatly year af-
ter year. and it is safe to say that

we have as yet only seen the begin
ming. What a revolution these
much abused means of locomotion
is destined to bring about in social
conditions is hard to foretell, but
the immediate influence that they
have brought is the agitation for
better highways. Every owner Of
an automobile naturally becomes a
booster for. better roads. Where
before it was hard to interest the
town folks who were not directly
interested in the hauling of pro-
duce in the matter Of improving
the roads tributary to the city.
there is now a rapidly growing class
in every village,and city who are
becoming vitality interested because
they nave come face to face with
the problem of good roads in the
running of their new-fangled We
hicles. Naturally there is transit
tion period when there are many
misunderstanding and popular
prejudice against the new machines
by all those who use the roads and
don't have the new machines. No
doubt laws for the stricter control
of the running of highspeed and
heavy cars on the public roads will
have to be worked out and enforced.
But on the whole in the long run
the whole community will be better
off by reason of the new stimulus
that the new recruits have brought
to the question of better roads.
To sneer at the interets taken in
the good roads movement by the
owner of automobiles because they
are actuated to a large extent by
a selfish motive is foolish, for is it
not for their own benefit that those
who travel with other vehicles de-
sire to see the highways improved?
When tempted to abuse the au-
tomobiles let US remember the fate
of all the others who have attempt
ed to oppose progress. When Stew
enson was trying to get franchise
in England for his first railroad,
a councilman opposed it because he
said that no car could possibly run
as fast as twenty miles an hour and
stay on the track. "What would
happen. he asked, eff your cars
were coming at that rate and there
should he COW on the track?'
And he laughed at the idea Of what
the cars could do in such dilem-
ma. Stevenson said, $50 much the
worse for the cow But railroads
came to stay and the public inter-
ests have been safe-guarded from
time to time by new laws of regu-
lation, tardily it is true in many
cases, but still no one dreams of 60
ing back to the old style stage
coaches and pony express.
Let US who do not have autos be
more charitable in our judgement
regarding the motives of the auto
owners and the motor clubs and
meet them and cooperate with
them for the betterment of the
roads. Good roads are as much a
benefit to those who have to meet
the cars as they are to those who
drive such.

Changing Her Mind.

by an unwritten law II Is held TO be
the privilege OF woman TO change her
mind. license of which she rarely
fails TO avail herself. The German
proverb has II that women are varia-
bic as April weather" According to
an old English adage, "a woman's
mind the winter winds change oft"
In Spain ii is much the same: "Wo-
men. wind and fortune soon change.
and she can laugh and cry both in a
wind" The old Latin poet Catullus
was OF opinion that what a woman
says TO her ardent lover ought TO be
written on the winds or on running
wuter." Even the gallant Sir Philip
Sidney wrote:
He water plows and soweth in the sand
And hopes the fiickering wind with net 10
hold
Who hath his hopes laid on a womana
hand.
