Wi11mar Trihuno

Du1uIu, M1uu., aug. j, 1910.
Editor Willmar, Tribune,
Dear Sir and Friend: You will un-
doubtedly be surprised to learn that
Mr.. Ekander, the we'll known tailor of
Willmar was quite seriously hurt in
stepping out of ''jitney" last Friday
evening. "
Mr.. Ekander said that he just not
iced a man, whom he wanted to see,
on the sidewalk and Immediately told
the auto driver to stop, paid him and
stepped off. The man started the car
so quick, that he was thrown to the
pavement and the hind wheel ran over
his leg and cracked the kneecap, be-
sides inf1icting other bruises.
He is resting as comfortably as can
be expected at the st. Luke's hospi-
tai corner list st. and 9th ave. E.,
where we called on him last night, His
daughter. and sons remain to watch
his recovery.
The writer felt it privilege to call
on Willmar citizen and convey the
news, though sad, through the Trib-
une.
We feel quite at home in Duluth.
for it is certainly an interesting city,
and in many ways so different from
any other large city, by it's location on
the hills at the mouth of St.. Louis
river, the rival city, Superior, Wis.,,
across the bay and to the southeast.
Lake Superior, where we see numer-
GUS boats daily, carrying lumber, coal,
grain, fish and above all, millions of
tons of iron ore, etc.
Duluth is said to be Is miles long,
l Y mile wide and a " mile high, with
soil between and on the rocks of Won
derful fertility.
Garden produce grows in abundance
and in spite of very cold and wet
season clover, timothy, potatoes and
small grain far exceeds anything I
have seen in other places, except
where there is irrigation.
Duluth has splendid (artiiciaD
park and boulevard system and good
street car service, so that the "jitnev
bus" is almost nuisance.
Ihere are also plenty of churches
OF many languages. The largest are
Italian, French and Polish Catholic.
three Swedish and one Swedish Finn
Lutheran, three Norwegian Lutheran.
one English and Norwegian M. E.. two
Swedish M. E., two Swedish Congre-
gational (Mission), three Swedish and
one Swedish Finn, three Am. and one
African Baptist churches, Presbyter-
ian and Methodist, six each, several
Hebrew and some smaller churches.
besides Catholic and Science (Episco-
paD. There may be several more do
ing very little.
The busy places are the saloons and
moving picture shows.
The resident districts in the east
end, Hunters Park, Woodland and
Lakeside are superb and seem to sur.
pass Minneapolis, St. Paul or Chica-
go on the whole.
| The school system is grand, with
the greatest central high school in the
country, and superintendent of 80
years service in Duluth.
| These things with many others will
be, and is making Duluth a cosmopol.
ltan city of the Northwest.
We hope that any Willmarite com.
ing this way may at least call up
Grand 905X or better give US visit.
With pleasant memories from Will.
mar we beg to greet friends there, the
pastors, my former church, school
board and especially the many who 50
kindly reminded us Of our birthdays.

Attorney General Cites 1913 Statute In
Answering Query on subsorip-
tion Campaigns.
Newspaper contests, with subscrip-
tion string tied to them, are barred by
a Minnesota statute. Attorney General
Lyndon A. Smith has had occasion in the
last two years to call more than one
publisher to account for infringing the
law. violation of which is punishable as
a misdemeanOr. i@@ ~.... '..s
1t was supposed that the existence of
such law was we'll understood by pub
fishers, but only recently Mr.. Smith re-
ceived an inquiry from an East Grand
Forks paper asking If it's circulation con-
test was illegal. a. e.
In this case, piano was offered to
the contestant securing the largest
number of votes to be given away with
subscriptions" and 10 other prizes to
less successful competitors. The attor-
ney general in his answer quoted section
of Chapter 374, Laws Of 1913, as fol-
lows:
"Wherever any person, for the pur-
pose Of inducing the public to subscribe
for or buy any newspaper. magazine or
periodical for valuable consideration,
offers and advertises to give a premium.

procuring such sale or subscription, the
person offering such gift shall be deemed
to be engaged in gift enterprise, un-
less such premium, gift or prize is alb
solute and does not depend upon any
chance or contingency whatever"
The 1913 statute was enacted in re-
sponse to general public demand for
some limit to a raid upon the peoples
pocketbooks by certain daily and weekly
newspapers, magazines and trade and re-
ligious journals in efforts to initiate sub
scription lists by offering prizes.
Usually the contests have to do with
"the most beautiful" or ''the most pop
ular." or the most something else. The
superlative in each case is measured by
the number of subscriptions obtained, or
the number of copies Of the, publica-
tion sold in procuring voting coupons

Koochiching county voted on prohi-
bition last Monday. Yesterdays re-
ports indicated that it had gone wet
by about 400. Later reports had cut
this down to $50 with sixteen precincts
to hear from. The county is large and
sparcely settled and it takes time to
hear from all parts. International Falls
and Rainier gave a wet majority of
460, but southern villages and country
districts have so far as heard from
materially reduced this lead.

GoD-GlVEN RIGHTS.-I want to

Why do married women work

Because they have a God-giVen

Why don't they make a law that

jobs when they marry, so that some

Because we have no right to pass

Eugenic Marriage. = Under this
caption in The Day Book one C. 3. A.
writes against the proposed law for
better human offspring.
OF course, under the present sys-
tenn of the wholesale grating and
under the system Of dOg-eat-dog
struggle among the practitioners Of
medicine, 1 almost agree that the GU
genie marriage law wouldn't have
the best show. But why should the
private physicians handle such deli
cate and serious service? Why must
grafters run everything? Why not
put the grafteFs on the run?
The eugenic marriage, as plan, is
all right, and it should be passed in
every state for the sake of humanity;
but, at the same time, special mar
rage boards should be. created by the
legislature (or by the federal govern
ment) in every town of the state,
such boards consisting Of at least
two reliable doctors, one man and one
woman, doctors who know their bust
ness and who also know something
about physical and marital adoption,
physiology, phrenology, etc. The duty
of such boards should be only to pass
upon the applicants for marriage.
They ought to be paid by the govern
ment and give the necessary examin-
alton and marriage license free.

nue. aud responsible TO the govern

ment only, surely this marriage
board ought to be relied upon.
/ believe that a uniform marriage
law, together with the provisions for
divorce, should be passed by con-
gress for the entire republic, and at
the same time new governmental
department of sociology should be
created in Washington, which would
appoint and govern state marital
boards, and the latter in turn the
boards in cities and towns. OF course
this would require a new amendment
to the constitution, and why not
amend it so? If it is important for
the government to teach the farmer
how to breed better hogs and how to
weed out the fields of corn, should
think it is far more important for
the government to teach the people
how to breed better babies and how
to weed out from the human family
all the feeble-minded, diseased and
otherwise unfit UnfOrtunates who are
now free and unmOlested in repro

the San line, the dispatches say
Field Marshal Conrad Won Hoetzen

Austro-Germans, it is asserted, are
pushing the campaign with the ut

1t is added that AustroIlungarian
troops have occupied Noyozica, Rus

Rumania on the river Pruth, and
have established a number of heavy
guns there. The dispatches say that
the Russians in their retirement are
fighting desperately to defend their
home soil and are burning villages be
