withaL there is a new conscience
awaking upon the evil of intemper-
ance. Changing world conditions
lengthen the battle line; the enemy
appears in unexpected places. Never
theless, the cause of tempance is truly
making progress. One would have to
be blind to the doings Of his day to
deny this. Consider the scottish drunk
enness in ''Merrie old England two
centuries ago. Consider the amounts
of strong liquor that was drunk in
this land in the years of it's founding
Older persons now living can tell of
the days before any restriction was
placed upon the sale of intoxicants.
Once, and that scarcely more than
generation ago, it was counted bad
form to decline a socoal glass; now,
with perfect self-respect and entire
lack of embarrassment, one may be
total abstainer in any circles. The
mind of mankind has advanced in its
view of the whole drink question.
Where there's drink there's dan
ger" No sounder temperance slogan
has ever been uttered than that. Dan
ger does not always mean destruction;
/ but it is always danger. and nobody
but a mad man would counsel youth
to venture into needless dangers. Why
pick ones way over the quicksands
when there is a safe. clear highway
at hand? There is no important argu-
ment to be offered against total alb
stinence; there are many obvious ones
against the use of intoxicants.
Even the German emperor has urged
temperance upon his own nation. which
has beer for it's national beverage.
Recently 7 have been walking
| through certain Pennsylvania towns
where the population is almost wholly
Pennsylvania Germans. and where
! thrift and industry are the hand

plain why the intellectual level OF
those communities is not higher. and
why they lack public spirit and en-
| terprise, the answer came in the
signs upon the highways and in the

my appreciation for cooperation in the

many of the farmers, particularly in tn :

Anti-Tuberculosis society; and so many
private citizens, who have given personal
service in the campaign, and who in ad

smoothed many a difficult situation.
So many personal courtesies have been
shown to me during my short stay in

feeling of gratitude towards all Will

Editor Tribune,
Believing that it would be of interest
to your readers TO learn something of
our trip to international Falls, we send
you the following lines:
On Tuesday afternoon, November 10,
we left Willmar and arrived at Mime
apolis for supper. At 7:40 we took the
Northern Pacific and Wednesday morn
ing landed at International Falls at
$3.50. The weather was fine, and after
breakfast we started on a sight seeing
trip accompanied by A. L. Jones, Sec'y.
of the American Suburbs Company. The
first place we visited was the great pa
per plant. Here we saw the spruce logs
being taken from the river and followed
them thru the different stages of manu-
featuring until they came out of the big
paper machines as white news print pa
per. This is said to be the greatest pa
per plant in the United States and is on
ly one-third of what the entire plant is
to be. While inspecting the different
parts of the paper plant we walked
across the great dam built of granite
and this. was an interesting sight.

After dinner we enjoyed launch ride
on the great Rainy lake and saw where
the Canadian Northern Railroad. Com
pany is building a solid road bed from
island to island across one arm of the
lake, the water averaging from fifty
to one hundred and twenty-five feet
deep. Upon returning we visited the
midway district owned by the American
Suburbs Company. This property is To-
Gated midway between the two business
sections and we found here that Mr..
Efferts, formerly from Stewart, Mimi,
had just opened the first store in this
district. From here we walked over to
the great International saw mill plant
factory, one hundred acres of lumber
yards and the railroad yards, and at
supper time landed at the Koochiching
Hotel ready for rest and supper.
On Wednesday we did some more local
sight seeing and at noon walled across
