The City Council voted to submit the
telephone ordinance at the city election
April 2. At last the people of the city
will have the chance to give the final
vote on the proposition. If the council
had done any less they would have been
neglectful Of their duties to the public
interests. OF course there will be a
big fight, and every influence which the
Northwestern can enlist will be out
shouting against the proposition, but
Willmar is progressive city and we
have faith that the people here will rise
in their might and help establish a pop
ular system which they can control and
not submit to control and dictation from
an outside corporation. Give these gen.
tlemen the chance to build their ex-
change, and money will be saved to
those who use phones in the city and
many who cannot afford such conven-
fence now will be able to secure it. Nat
urally every councilman who refused to
smother the proposition will be marked
for slaughter by the big interests back
Of the Northwestern. 1t will not be
difficult to pick their candidates as they
appear.

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY
William J. Bryan Gives La Toilette
a Most Hearty Endorsement.

Fargo, N. D., March 7.-Speaking
to 1900 persons in the Fargo opera
house tonight, William J. Bryan pre-
dicted that La Toilette will poll more
votes than either Roosevelt or Taft
and paid high tribute to the Wis
consin senator. In part Mr.. Bryan
said:
"When you name Progressive men
in the Republican party l am for
Bob La Toilette. He was Progress
sive before Roosevelt could spell the
word. l have gone to Wisconsin to
do what l could do to help elect La
Toilette governor of the state, and
have refused to stump that state for
Democrats who were against him.
have seen Bob La Toilette when the
interests of his own state were
against him, and I have seen him go
on to victory. There is faith in La
Toilette. have seen him in the Sen
ate of the United States, when men,
bers of his party would turn their
backs on him and leave in the mid
die of his speech, and l have noticed
that he put the marks on their backs.
/ have seen twelve of those senators
defeated and their places filled by
Progressives.
'1f was Republican I would be
for La Toilette. I would want him
for the leader Of my party. He will
poll more votes than either Roosevelt
or Taft. This may seem 'strange to
my Democratic friends, but Mr.. La
Toilette is Progressive and l want
to see Progressive nominated by
the Democrats to show that the coun-
try will be saved, no matter which of
the two are elected. I put my coun-
try ahead Of my party every time"

Willmar People are Given Convincing
No better test Of any article can be
made than the test of time and this is
particularly true of a kidney medicine
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood this test
and stood it we'll. What better proof
of the merits Of this remedy could you
demand, than the statement of Will
mar resident who has been cured and
has stayed cured?
Read the following:
K T. Otos, Sperry's Addition, Willmar,
Mimi, says: 1.-THE cure effected by Doan's
Kidney Pills three years ago has been
permanent, and I am pleased to again
publicly endorse this remedy. For sew
eral years my kidneys were disordered
and I had backache, especially in the
morning. I felt weak and lame and was
often subject to attacks of dizziness. One
of my friends told me about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and I was led to procure sup
ply at Mossberg's Drug Store. This rem
edy soon convinced me of it's merits by

EATING BARK OF TREES
Pitiful Efforts Of Starving Chinese
to Sustain Life Graphic Des-
cription Of Conditions by an
~ American Traveller.

American Traveller.
Mr.. Earl H. Cressy, an American,
who has recently returned from a
tour Of inspection Of the famine dis
tricts of China, relates many in
stances illustrative of the frightful
conditions Of starvation which pre-
vailed early in February. He made
a minute examination Of many Chin
csc homes. Describing an inspec-
ton Of all the houses, large and
small, in several groups, a total Of
fifty-fve houses, Mr.. Cressy makes
the following statement:
"A straw stack indicates that there
has been a crop. I found straw in
four yards. Grain was. found in
only seven houses out of the fifty
five, and in no place over a peck Of
it. The food in process of prepar-
alton was invariably greens-sweet
potato leaves or carrot tops, a thin,
acrid smelling mass Of the appear
ance of stagnant water and about as
appetizing, only once in while con-
tanning a bit of vegetable or grain.
About one out Of every three was
eating elm bark which they prepare
by reducing it to a fine sawdust and
then making it into cakes. Whole
rows of trees have thus been strip
ped of their bark. Of even such
sorry food as this only a few have
any great amount on hand. After
it is gone they will eat the bark of
the willow and mulberry which cause
swelling and hasten death. Except
for these the countryside is abso-
lutely bare.
ITO look back upon it, the whole
seems like a bad dream. The gloom
Of the wretched homes, the whirling
snow, driven by the bitter yind, the
hungry garrulousness of the old
women, the modest shyness of young
matrons at suddenly finding them.
selves in the presence of a foreign
man, little children crying over thei,
pitiful food, the dumb agony on the
face of the woman whom we had tc
tell that her husband had just breath
ed his last, the dead with mummy
faces and claw-ike feet all this is
only a small part Of the grim trag-
edy of the famine where two and q
half millions are facing conditions
like these"
As rapidly as contributions are
received by the American Red Cross
they are hurried by cable to the re-
lief committee in Shanghai. Up tc
March 1, $4,000 has been forward
ed: Millions are needed, because the
new grain crop in China cannot be
harvested for three months.
| The New York relief committee
cooperating closely with the Rec
Cross, is urging every pastor in the
United States to speak to his congre.
cation on the famine on Sunday
March 18th, and to take a collection
for the starving. The Red Cross ap-
proves this request and urges uni.
versal compliance with it. The mon

Statement to the Public.

Ed. Willmar Tribune:
Having been asked by great many
as to whether or not / would again
become candidate for Representa-
tive Of this county, l feel it my duty
to make some statement to the public
as to my position at. this time.
Iwanttoh hereby express my appre-
citation to the people Of this county
for their kindly consideration in thus
comforting upon me the honor Of
electing me as their Representative
for three terms to the Legislature.
During these many years it has been
a pleasure to me to serve people
that have been most lenient in their
criticism Of my efforts. I feel and
I know that no servant of the people
could have been treated with more
consideration and had more good
will extended then has been shown
to me, and that while my convictions
and my principles may not have been
in harmony with all the people, I feel
that the majority of the people of
this county are looking for greater,
better and more elevating things to
to come to pass in the future through
the enacting of such laws that will
better conditions and bring greater
prosperity to the people of this state,
During my incumbency Of this posi-
ton l have through experience gained
a great deal of knowledge as to what
a legislator ought to be. A legi~lato1
can do greater harm and be great
er detriment to the public welfare in
that position than in any other Off
cial capacity in the State. The
greater independence shown and the
stronger the personal convictions Of
principles based upon honesty Of
purpose, free from dictation and pol
itical party influences, the better re.
suits will be attained. Until we have
a majority Of members in the legis.
latur, who will take such a position
we need not look for a change fol
the better.
I want to again thank the people,
for their kindly consideration
Should the friends who have asked
me to again file for that position
prove to me that the sentiment i.
strong enough to warrant making tn
race, I, of course, will with pleas
ure file for the position.
Most Sincerely,
c.. E. JOHNSON.

COUNCIL REJECTS
VICE COMMISSION

MACON. GA, Nov 13.-After a spir-
tied discussion over the petition of the
Protestant churches Of Macon for a
vice commission and the tentative ap-
pointment by Mayor Moore of that
body, the city council last night, by a
vote Of s to 3, rejected the PROPOSE
ton
The majority Of the aldermen took
the position that the council did not
need the assistance Of the ministers
and the church laymen in the regula-
ton OF city affairs particularly In the
vice district
A committee from the ministers un-
ion appeared before council and ear
nestly urged that the mayors fifteen
appointees be confirmed. These COM
missioners were selected by the minis
ters and appointed by the mayor, sub
ject to councils confirmation.
The refusal Of council to cooperate
with the ministers and churches in the
effort to abolish, or at least stringent
ly regulate, the restricted district will.
it was openly stated, make the matter
one Of politics and an issue in the forth
coming municipal election
Effort was made by some Of the al
dermen to declare an executive session
