REMEMBERING THE EDITOR.

You all have heard how such
things as cordwood, pumpkins, pota-
toes, butter, eggs and other delicacies
of the season have been given the
country editor by way of apprecia-
ton of his efforts to enlighten the;
community, but it remained for the
Commercial club of Willmar to hand
an editor in that town a lemon.
Here it is:
"Whereas, the Willmar Journal has
INDUCED in continuous assaults upon
the good name and fame of our fair
city, and upon the character, record
and efficiency of our city and county
officials these baseless and purpose
less outpourings having gone so far
as to openly and shamelessly applaud
the criminals who recently tried to
murder the sheriff of our county:
and,
"Whereas, the editor of said sheet
has been horse7whipped by the wom-
en-, and summarily driven from the
towns which he has infested in form
er years; and,
"Whereas, the editor of said sheet
can have no cause or motive for his
slanderous attacks except the hope
of obtaining for himself little cheap
notoriety; and as the people of this
community are only human, and as
| we do not want here a repetition of
| the acts of violence which other
towns had to resort to in order to rid
themselves of this unspeakable null
sance; therefore be it
"Resolved, by this Commercial
Club, composed of 100 business and
professional men of Willmar, that
we most emphatically condemn the
spirit and conduct of said editor, G.
F. Spencer, and request him imme-
diately to leave this community
which he has so long striven to be-
smirch with his false, perverted and
prejudiced publications; and be it
further
"Resolved, that we request our
other newspapers Of city and county,
as we'll as outside papers which, un-
der misrepresentation, have been led
to reprint his defamatory articles, to
publish these resolutions.''
There is something about these res
| Olutions which may not sound just
right to Editor Spencer and one could
hardly blame him were he to pack
his grip and tell Willmar and her
Commercial club to go jump into the
river.

behind the man who is to blame for
this and they are showing the prop
er spirit ~
The condemnation of committee
of honorable members Of the Mime
sofa legislature made up of Repub-
licans and Democrats who went after
the facts and got them and brought
in verdict of guilty, doesn't mat
ter so long as Red Wing thinks Whit
tier is jolly good fellow.
There is no significance in the fact
that Senator Rockne in whose county
the Red Wing school is located, was
the only active member of the COM
mitteee who fought to save Whittier
to the state.
There is no significance in the
brazen attitude of R. c. Dunn of
Princeton, the only member of the
committee who refused to attend any
of it's hearings and then got up on
the floor of the house and with the
same assidious disregard for decency
and facts which kept him from being
governor Of Minnesota had the nerve
that only Bob Dunn could have, to
plead in tones of thunder for Mr..
Whittier.
And neither Rockne nor Dunn
dared to say that the charges made
by Stephens had not been substan-
tiated. ..s-..

A FUNNY OLD WORLD.

Harriet Beecher Stoves story of
how poor Uncle Tom was mauled by
his owner causes shudders, whether
read from the book or seen upon the
stage.
And Uncle Tom was but a charac-
ter of fiction, and colored charac-
ter in more ways than one.
Yet the spectacle of young white
girls-homeless, friendless, mother
less-being beaten by employees of
the state of Minnesota; and boys,
who had never known kind word
and to whom fathers counsel was
myth, strapped over a flogging con-
trivance and beat by burly brutes in
an institution of which Frank A..
Whittier is at the head, brings about
the cry of ''politics" and such things
as this from the Saltwater Daily Ga
zette:
Red Wing people are standing
firmly by Supt. Whittier of the
training school, which is a pref
ty good endorsement. When
home people stand by their own
people it shows a proper spirit.
The Gazette probably jumped at
conclusions when it said the people
OF Red Wing are standing behind
Whittier. 1t is. true that the Red
Wing Daily Republican is standing
behind Whittier because the club
women are opposed to Whittier and
If there is anything on earth the
Red Wing Republican thoroughly
hates it is a club woman and it does
this because the club women of the
state forced the legislature to create
a separate school for girls.
The Red Wing Free Press frank
ly admits that if Whittier is guilty
he should be dismissed and there are
a good many other residents of that
city who are equally as liberal mind
ed, the Daily Republican to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
When A. D. Stephens of Crookston
first made his charges that whip
pings were being administered at the
Red Wing school great howl of
denial went up from Whittier and
his friends. .#a.9
Now Mr.. Whittier admits the ex-
istence Of contrivance over which
boys given to him for protection and
training were bound and fogged.
No one denies that girls were beat
en- with rubber hose and straps.
1t can not be denied that boys
were knocked down by attendants.
It is an established fact that in
mates of the school have been at
tackled and in at least one instance
a youths teeth knocked out, and this
boy happened to be from Bemidji.
And yet the people of Red Wing
says our contemporary, are standing
