press is not the simple and expen-
sive one Of ownership and invest
ment. Neither is it the "kept sheet
owned by man Of great wealth to
further his other interests. There
are few papers Ut this kind, but
not many. The control comes thru
that community Of interests, that in
terdependence Of investments and
credits which ties the publisher up
to the banks, the advertisers and the
special interests.
I'VE may expect this same kind
OF control sooner or later, to reach
out for the magazines. But more
than this, l warn you Of subtle new
peril, the Capitalization of adver-
Using that will in time seek to gag
you. What has occurred on the small
scale in almost every city in the
country will extend to the national
scale, and will ere long close in on the
magazines. No man ever faced graver
responsibilities. None has ever been
called to a more unselfsh, patriotic
service. I believe that when the final
test comes you will not be found
wanting; you will not desert and
leave the people to depend upon the
public platform, but you will hold
aloft the lamp Of Truth, lighting the
way for the preservation of repre-
sentative government and the liberty
Of the American people,"

Double Bereavement.

A double bereavement visited the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. johnson
of Burbank last week when the Grim
Reaper took two Of their children
within the space of two days. time.
On Tuesday, Feb. 6, Albert Emmett,
a baby of about five months, passed
away, and on the day following Ear
nest William, boy of about fifteen
years was taken. In both cases, the
doctor pronounced the disease pneu-
monia. The older of the two children
was sick about 26 days; the young
er one, not so long. Another men,
Der Of the family, a girl, was sick at
the same time, but she fully recov-
cred.
One funeral service was held for
the two children. It was held at the
home on Tuesday, Feb. 13, and was
conducted by Rev. T. NJ. Findley, as
sisted by Rev. Thomas Section. The
funeral was largely attended. The
school was closed during the funeral
hour, the teacher and pupils attend
ing in body, and presenting beau
tiful floral tribute. Martin and Dit
mar Thorson, Helmer Hanson, Ray
mond Anderson, Lawrence Hood and
Oscar Olson, all school mates of the
deceased Earnest William johnson,
acted as pail bearers. The remains
Of the two children, both in the same
casket, were laid to rest in the ceme-
terry at Hawick.
The entire community sympathizes
with Mr.. and Mrs. johnson. and fam
lily in their great bereavement

of which twenty three were for
violation Of the game law.
Out Of these, within the city of
Willmar since 1907, only one prose-
cution of ''blind pig" two or three
''bootleggers" and balance outside.
At this juncture permit me to state
that all other villages in our county
are no-license except one in which
there are two saloons. Even better
results are experienced in the other
villages because they are smaller.
While the saloons were licensed,
the county Jail as we'll as the village
lookup would scarcely accommodate
the number of prisoners. Now the
city Jail is not used and the common
county Jail occasionally receives one
or two occupants; but most of the
time is empty.
The following table will show the
number Of prisoners committed ev-
cry year to the county jail either to
await furnishing Of bail or serving
sentence; and committed for viola
ton Of both state law, city and WILL
age ordinances, and also the cost of
boarding prisoners.

THE TRUE TEST
Tried in WiIImar, It Has Stood the
Test,

The hardest test is the test Of
time, and Doan's Kidney Pills have
stood it we'll in Willmar. Kidney SUI
ferers can hardly ask for stronger
proof than the following:
Andrew Weiss, $40 Monongahelia
St., Willmar, Mimi, says: My &C.
cupation obliges me to stoop a great
deal and in this way my kidneys were
weakened. l had pains in the small
Of the back, sometimes extending in
to my shoulders and my hips and
limbs were also affected. Dizzy spells
annoyed me and at such times every
thing before me became black. Fin
ally used Doan's Kidney Pills and
since then I have been in much bet
ter health. I want to make the mer-
it's Of this remedy known to all kid
ney sufferers" Statement given in
October 1907
REIMBURSEMENT.
On August S, 1910, Mr.. Weiss said {:
my former endorsement of Doan's
Kidney Pills still holds good. I have
never been bothered by kidney COM

are the savings in the matter of pros
ecutions and care Of prisoners only;
and due principally to the fact that
we have a no~license policy. A cor
responding decrease of costs and ex-
penses might be shown in other lines.
Not for the purpose Of any re-
Election on our neighboring county of
Meeker; but to show the costs of
that county for board of prisoners
for 1911 as compared with ours, let
me state that it was $662.2O for
Meeker while ours was only $1,000.
These figures are correct as I have
taken them from the official record
Of the sheriff Of our county. All per-
sons from Meeker county have been
cared for by Kandiyohi county for
1911 because the Meeker county jail
was condemned. Litchfeld and other
villages of Meeker county are icens-
ed towns.
The no-license policy spells for
Willmar and Kandiyohi county So
briefly, economy, prosperity, success
and high type Of citizenship. This
could be followed up in other lines
to show that Kidding a community of
the saloon is for good and a great
: benefit to all, an incentive to all
kinds Of legitimate business and
wholesome institutions and saving
to such community. The no-license
policy can be successfully maintain
ed.
Very truly yours,
GEO. H. BITTERNESS,
County Attorney

are not Of sufficient public NUS
ance to enable the most watchful Of
flcials to lay hands on them. True
the evil is there, but not the public
menace. The curse is not openly in
viting the youth and tempting the
weak. The other immoral places
that 60 hand in hand with the saloon
business and as adjuncts thereto be-
come extinct under the no-license re-
gime. r@<a..
In our city drunkenness is a scare
ity and a drunkard curiosity to the
young. Large public gatherings and
public celebrations are held and So
briefly, order and decency are en-
joyed by all. Such conditions are
uplifting, elevating and ennobling.
Other crimes also are at a minimum.
The few crimes we now have to con-
slider in the county at large are the
petit cases. There are occasional
quarrels or thefts; while before, the
grand jury would be kept busy for
weeks to consider crimes, now it may
be called upon to consider one or
two. Within the last two years the
grand jury has been needed and met
only once and then was in session for
two days and considered four crimes.
And this is not because the laws are
not enforced, but because crime for the
consideration Of the grand jury is re-
duced to a minimum. It is evidence
of abiding citizenship. Men and
women who at all times with their
full and sober faculties, exercising
same thoughtfully, with due consid-
Grafton. respect and regard for and
towards others.
In order to show how crime has
been gradually lessened and the saw
ing to the tax payers Of our county
in the matter of enforcement of law,
permit me to copy from my annual
reports to the attorney general Of
cases prosecuted in justice, munich
pal and district courts of the county
Of Kandiyohi wherein the state has
