NATIONAL PROHIBITION

The vote on the proposed amend.
ment to the Federal Constitution pro.
hibiting the sale of liquor in the ma
ton was one of the most significant
events of the times. To the gallant
soldier-statesman Richard P, Hobson,
of Alabama, belongs the credit for
having injected this issue into nation
al politics, by forcing this vote and
compelling the congressman to come
out and show their colors. The vote
was not along party lines, both par
ties dividing on the proposition. The
affirmative vote was cast by ia Dem
ocrats, 81 Republicans and Is Pro-
gressives. The negative vote was
cast by al Democrats, 46 Republi-
cans and 2 Independents. No one ex-
pected to see the amendment SUBJ
mitted, but the vote being taken at
all brings the question into national
politics, and there, like the slavery
doN0SAoA, ~ WILL ACFOA NC uO"ucu
til it is settled right.
Congressman Volstead guaged the
sentiment Of his home people very
correctly when he voted in favor of
the dry amendment, together with his
colleagues, Anderson, Lindberg and
Stevenson. Davis, Hammond, Mana
han, Miller, Stevens and Smith voted
against the prohibition amendment.
Some of these perhaps represented a
majority of their constituents in this
vote and others did not. Governor.
Elect Hammond refused fine chance
to have lined up with the dry peo-
pie of the State. The amendment
would have carried by large MAORI
ty if submitted to a vote in Minneso-
ia. If you don't believe this, let the
state solons submit the state prohib-
ition question at the next election,
and then we will see.

Mr.. Convey Of Litchfield Ave. Tells
Of an Interesting Experience.
There is nothing like a talk with
one of our own citizens for giving
hope and encouragement to the anx-
ious sufferer from the dread kidney
disease. We, therefore, give here an
interview with Willmar man.
John Conway, locomotive fireman IT
402 Litchfield Ave., says: mo doubt,
it was my work, the bending over and
straining my back that affected my
kidneys and caused my back to
ache and get lame and sore. My kid
neys didn't act right and was all out
of sorts when got d Dox of Doan's
Kidney Pills. They helped me right
away and two boxes put me in good
shape. I have been alright ever since
and l give Doa11's Kidney Pills the Gre
dit for making a complete cure"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't SIM
ply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Conway recommends. Foster-Mil-

A MOMENTOUS NEW YEAR.

When 1914 was ushered in, no one
foresaw the tremendous war develop
ments which were to shake every
organized government on earth,
whether or not Immediately con-
cerned in the international quarrel.
It came in the last days of July, like
a thunder storm in clear sky. After
five months of sanguinary fighting all
hopes of an early cessation of hostili-
ties have faded away, and no one can
foretell what the end will be. The
year goes out in a sea of blood
human blood shed because of the sin
full selfshness of human beings.
This war teaches the nations how
inter-dependent modern conditions
have made them. The view that the
ruthless destruction of human lives
and energy, as we'll as material re-
sources, can benefit any part of civil.
cation is narrow and false view.
Every nation on earth is found to suf-
fer in a less or greater degree. Lo-
cally, if we are blessed with a bounti-
full harvest, financial conditions will
be good, but the uncertainty of what
may happen, and the terrific financial
demands of the vast empires at war
are straining the international credit
system, of which our country is a
part, to a tension never before known,
and these conditions will in greater
or less degree be reflected in all the
local communities as we'll. There
fore these are times when, as never
before, it is necessary to take stock
and set our houses in order at the
close Of the old year in order to meet
the demands and responsibilities of
the coming year. Ruthless extrava-
gance, in public as we'll as private
life, must cease. On the other hand
1t is the patriotic duty Of every per-
son of means to encourage industry
and thrift by freely employing their
money in safe enterprises. The two
worst enemies Of the public welfare
is the spendthrift, who lives beyond
his means, and the miser who refus-
es to use his wealth to help his COM
munity and fellow-man.

Road Drainage.

Hoao Drainage.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 26, 1914.
Editor Willmar Tribune:
In the last issue of your paper
noticed a clipping from the New Lon
don Times in regard to a state road or
part Of road in the Town Of Lake An
drew and drainage of land adjoining
said state road. Without knowing
anything about this case in particu-
lar will say that the first move in max
ing good roads is drainage. We have
state law providing for drainage of
public roads whereby the expense can
be assessed up against the road
and adjoining owners benefited, and
damage allowed, If any. Where this
law is honestly followed everybody
concerned will have a square deal.
think the law can be found in the lat
est Township Manuals.

Want Benefit Onlv.

The hearing on the big ditch which
runs principally through town Of LOU
riston was held last week in Monte
video and was attended by nearly eve
ry person whose land will be affec-
ted by the ditch. Paradoxical as it
may seem the very persons who petit
toned for the ditch also appeared to
oppose it. They want the benefit but
not the assessment or only a small
amount. Judge Qvale of Willmar has
heard most Of the ditch hearings in
this county,-Clara City Herald.
