A FLEETiNc GLANCE At the
RESULTS OF the
SESSION..

The Minnesota Legislature of
1911 will live in history for GER
tain things. 1t has been char
acterized by disgraceful scenes Of
disorder.
1t has been marked by almost
unprecedented political plumber and
extravaganza.
1t was influenced by the most
open, powerful and pernicious
brewery lobby ever known.
No session ever had so many
farcical Investigations and white
washes.
The House had speaker who
was partial to the reactionary ele-
ment.
There was a WHOLESALE slaughter
of progressive legislation.
Both branches manifested ten
dencv away from fundamental dem
ocracy and toward the professional
politician. It was a Legislature
for the rich and reactionary.
There was shrewd|y conceived
and executed lack of team work
between House and Senate.
The House adjourned under a
cloud not daring to give considera.
ton to the KIemer-Stone indict.
ment that the special interests con.
trolled the organization.

The people of the Willmar lnde-
pendent school district and sur
rounding common school districts
are to tie congratulated on their
success in placing their schools
under the Putnam act to draw state
aid for the agricultural and in
dustrial branches. this means an
nual State aid amounting to 81 200.
The first year. as during the past,
the district will have to pay this,
but being placed on the recognized
list of schools, the amount will be
paid by the State next year. The
State will give special aid next year
to the amount spent this year, not
exceeding the amount named. Had
not the move been made last year
to erect an industrial building. this
recognition would not have been
secured. Some of our people have
the idea that Willmar has a very
heavy school debt and heavy school
expenses. They should look over
the amount paid by other cities and
congratulate themselves. While
we pay only Is mills, other high
school districts pay up to &c mills.
The bonded Indebtedness is $68, 800,
it is true, but it's far from the limit,
for under the present rules with
it's present valuation the district
could still borrow $4,000 from
the State. There is no need for
borrowing at the present time. but
this simply shows how good is the

The Litchfeld News Ledger clips
the following from G. F. Spencer s
sheet in this city:
Cup in the hospital lies man
who was found drunk by the city
police and thrown into Jail. The
next morning his feet were found
to be frozen and he was taken to
the hospital where his toes were
amputated. A heavy damage suit
will be brot against the police
and the city,
The above is another sample of
the manner in which that dirty
scoundrel of a printer will falsify
in order to give the liquor element
a chance to misrepresent Willmar.
The true facts are these. Geo.
Baird came to Willmar the night of
Feb. IS, having beaten his way
from St. Paul on the blind bag
gage of No. 81. He asked the
night patrolman for the privilege
of sleeping in the lookup. which
was granted. When they arrived
there he said he believed he had
frozen his feet. Both Nieht-P Police
| Westgaard and Fireman Westlund
of the power house examined his bare
feet. after he had taken off his
shoes, but as he seemed to be able
to move them they thot that it was
not serious. In the morning, how
ever. the man could not stand on
his feet, and was taken to the hos
pital, where after a good deal of
treatment his feet were saved, and
only a part of some of his toes were
amputated. The county has been
obliged to pay for keeping the man,
who has now about recovered. The
man was not drunk when he arrived
at Willmar, the lookup is steam
heated and the man could not have
frozen his feet after he came here
If he had been drunk and exposed
himself it happened before he came
to Willmar. Instead of mistreat
ment at the hands of the loca
authorities this man received thu
humane treatment and surgical at
tention that his sad condition re
quired. Instead of a cause for &C
ton for damages, he has cause fol
thankfulness.
| And that pin-headed libel on tn,
newspaper fraternity seized upol
this incident as one which he Nigh
distort so that it would reflect dis
credit upon his home city,.
| Recently a friend showed US Ii
quor publication from the East il
which one of C. F. Spencer's las
years falsehoods was still repro
duced telling how Willmar. no
license town, is paved with empt!
whiskey bottles. Lies travel fa
so rapidly that denials and tn,
truth cannot overtake them, espec
tally when they serve the purpose
of the liquor element. People O
Willmar, how do you like it?

The death Of Oscar Erickson re-
moves from our midst one of the
very few remaining survivors Of
those who took an active part in
the Indian war which baptized in
blood the first settlements Of this
county. A year from next August
fifty years will have elapsed since
those stirring times. Mr.. Erickson
was very seriously wounded in the
fight with the Sioux Indians at his
cabin, which stood across the road
from the present fine home of Ole
E. Olson near the inlet of the.
Eagle Lake creek to Mud Lake. In
company with Solomon Foot, the
''Daniel Boone of Kandiyohi
County, who also was helplessly
wounded in the same fight, he Law
many weary hours in the cabin
after the Indians had been repuised.
not knowing when they would re-
turn to complete their work of
death. In this condition they were
rescued by Curl Endreson and her
wounded boy and taken to Forest
City, all of which constitutes one
of the most thrilling chapters of
the history of the county, and will
live to be recounted and re-read as
long as there exists a Kandiyohi
county. Mr.. Erickson was one of
the rugged type of the early pio-
neers which is fast disappearing in
his physical presence but whose
memory will always be preserved
! in the annals of the county as those
who helped first redeem this COM
munity from tho wilderness and
savagery.
