SAFETY OF LIFE ON WATER
svea inventor Asks Aid To Build 4
Boat For Demonstrating Safety
Re Appliance.

s.
Very often we hear of boats and
life-boats being upset and persons
Even larger crafts will ov-
erturn as in storm of Nov. 9Th, 1913,
on the Great Lakes where large
steamers were capsized and turned
turtle. ...r
This need happen no more If an in
vention Of A. e. Wickman Of Svea Is
adopted. Mr.. Wickman has invented
a non-capsizeable and non-sinkable
boat, to be used in lakes, rivers, at
life-saving stations in general. He
has also an improvement for same 80
it can be adaptable for use aboard
steamships and lowered from them
and has submitted papers to the u.
S. Steamboat Inspection Service. He
has been encouraged to have a model
boat made ready this fall for demon
stration. Mr.. Wickman is dependent
upon financial help to the extent of a
few hundred dollars. He asks every
reader of this paper to help him with
some money for building life boat.
He promises to pay what they invest
within one year, and after a short
time sum double the amount as a
profit, and states that every one will
have a chance to earn many dollars
besides. We have consented to keep
a list at this Office of names of every
one who is willing to aid him, or con
tributions can be sent direct to him

Only 10c from every reader would be
sufficient for building a boat to de-
monstrate the value of a life saver.
The boat has been tried out before,
but he must have new one for de-
monstration. The invention consists
of a U-shaped horizontal projecting
member or compartment of hull of
boat, thus projecting from the sides,
alright or filled with buoyant mater
ial. 1t possesses great resistant quail
tiles to secure the craft and prevent
same from capsizing and it's buoyant
material in this construction prevents
the boat from being dragged down
and if even lower part of hull or bot
tom is damaged the craft will still
keep afloat.
He has sea specialists survey If
this invention and will here cite a
few: Capt. E. K. Roden, Principal
School of Navigation of l. G. Schools,
Scranton, Pa, author of great work
in navigation and nautical astronomy,
member of American Navy League and
writer in the Navy, has given him a
reference letter stating that his in
ventions are good. And the Lane Life
Boat Co., of Brooklyn, N. Y, said his
inventions were very good and meri-
torious. This company also will start
to make his boat and demonstrate
same. He could name other recon-
mandatory letters also but think this
is sufficient.
He also has other life saving in
ventions- "Ships and Boats Stabil-
ity Keel" which minimize rolling at
sea and absolutely prevents ships and
boats from capsizing. Also he has
submitted papers to the Government
about a distant distress signal light,
which will be more effective than the
rockets now used.
He states that he will gladly answer
letters of investigation.
The publisher will gladly acknowl-
edge and account for any contribu-
tions made to enable this young man
to secure demonstration of his in
vention.

er in the hands of public official.
Hence, the number of men who are
bound to obey their superior's COM
mand, whatever it be, should be as
small as possible. If the situation OF
the country is such that it's citizens
believe it to be in the right, volun-
teers will respond as quickly as reg
ulars; but if headstrong, or foolish
leaders, embroil the country need
lessly, the volunteers have the pas
sive power, by refusing to enlist, to
restrain them.
AS to treating nations that wrong us
in ways other than by invasion, such
as abusing American citizens on the
high seas, or in the several countries,
they can be dealt with much better
by diplomacy than by men-o:war. An
appeal to sense of fairness and JUS
tice OF any nation will secure a quick
er response than will the demand of
a Warship. And should any country
persist beyond all reason in ignoring
our claims, the most effective meas
ure will be found in non-intercourse
Self-preservation is indeed the first
law Of nature, but that does not i'm
ply that nation should have mill
tary establishment stronger than
that of any combination that can be
brought against her. Such a policy
is self-contradictory; and the present
war has proven that it defeats it's own
purpose. The Public holds that the
great problem of this age is economic,
and not military; and that just to the
extent that the military is allowed to
develop beyond the point of absolute
needs for preventing transformation
In this country, owing to it's isolation,
Is very small-that development hind
ers and retards the solution of the
economic problem. There is a med
ium ground between the philosophical
non-resistant and the lingo militarist
1t lies in having military establish.
ment sufficient to preserve the coun-
try from invasion, yet too small to
tempt the militarists into foreign az
erosion. This gives us security for
the present and at the same time
leaves us in position to lead in in
ternational disarmament, and the es-
tablishing of International courts and
police:-The Public.

Notice to Bank Depositors.

A recent ruling by the Commission
er of Internal Revenue has been seat
to banks to the effect that all checks
which create or increase an overdraft
are an acknowledgement of debt, and
as such shall bear the proper amount
of duly cancelled revenue stamps Any
checks drawn or paid in violation of
this rule subjects the maker to prose-
cutiOn by the U. S. Government and
a fine of 5000 for each offence.
The undersigned banks of Willmar
will use extraordinary care in this
matter, and will refuse to honor any
check drawn in violation of law, but
ask all depositors to use the same de-
gree of care, thereby protecting their
own interests as we'll as ours.
The best rule to follow is to never
draw a check unless you have the
funds in the bank with which to meet
it.

1t has been so furnished that the COL
lege this year for the first time will
be able to offer an advanced course
in domestic science and this will be
greatly appreciated by the young lady
students.
There will be three new professors
in the faculty this year. Prof. P. M.

ity OF Minnesota and with several
years teaching experience in Mime
sofa and Washington, will have charge

PEACE ADVOCATES AND SANITY.

Letters from readers of The Public
express dissatisfaction over it's posi-
ton on militarism. Some accuse it
specifically, and others by implication,
with advocating peace at any price"
The Public is not in favor of a policy
of "peace at any price," There are
conceivable occasions, as for instance
an armed invasion of this country, III
which it would advocate armed resist
ance. To this end it would seem rea-
sonable that under present world con-
ditions the country should have a
small but highly efficient military
force, in order to meet emergencies,
and to serve as a nucleus about which
to gather larger force in case Of
need. The regular military force
should be too small to bolster up tyr
amy; and the larger force should be
entirely voluntary. If there is vital
force in religion, morals, and civiliza-
ton, the time must come when nation
al armies and navies will be replaced
by an international police force. I'm
til such a time arrives prudence die
tates that the country shall be pre-
pared to protect itself against inva-
sion.
Adequate military protection for
this country can be determined only
by sane consideration of it's position
and circumstances. The present war
has demonstrated that submarines
and mines are the most reflective
means for guarding harbors and
coasts. These may be found to be
our main line of defense against in
vasion. They will probably be sup
plemented by a few battleships and
cruisers, their number being deter
mined always with world-disarmament
In mind rather than world-rivalry.
The army should consist only Of suf-
ficient men to maintain a skeleton or.
gan1zation to meet a sudden attack.
and to give order to the volunteer
force that might be called into being.
Such an army should not be used for
civil police duty, but should be en-
ployed as much as possible in con-
structive labor, with a view to giving
the country needed improvements
and at the same time to training the
soldiers for useful citizenship at the
end of their term of enlistment.
An effective volunteer army can be
had by enrolling such young men as
desire to join in a loose and flexible
organization, whose members shall
spend from two to four weeks in
camps where rudimentary drilling is
accompanied by healthful and enjoy
able recreation. Such an organization
should embody the principle of volun-
{ tary service; that is, while providing
the men with the necessary know
ledge and experience, it. should leave
! them free to join the army or not
The essential evil of militarism lies
in the unreasonable and arbitrary pow
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1915-07-28

such bogeys calmly they do not seem
worthy Of consideration. The state.
ments issued about our unprepared
state show, II true, that we might
have been attacked at any time dur
ing the past twenty or thirty years
and been easily conquered. The
statements further show that this was
we'll known to the government Of ev-
cry nation that might have attacked
us. But these governments, it seems,
were so stupid in carrying out their
alleged predatory plans that they first
engaged In q war with better prepared
nations and deferred their premedi-
tated attack on us until they should
be weakened by great war, and until
warning could be given US.
This playing on fears and partisan
feeling Of American citizens may east
ly have back of it something more
than honest concern for national safe
ty. The need of an issue to help re.
store reactionary control of the ma.
tional government seems sufficient to
account for it all. The Republican
party cannot reasonably hope to win
the election Of next year on the tariff
issue. There is too much opposition
within the party ranks to restoration
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff iniquity
But the foreign-invasion DOGGY may
prove to be a serviceable substitute
for the more or less discredited for
eign-pauper-labor DOGGY. It may fright
en- and sweep along many who cannot
be fooled on an economic issue. This
trick has been tried successfully II
more than one European election
American Tories may be looking fo1
similar success here. It is notable
that already some Democrats wn,
should know better have been fright
ened into joining in the cry for pre-
paredness. The DOGGY campaign Ii
one that will bear watching.-Th,

Older BUT STRONGER

TO be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
TO be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

food, tonic and q medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS. :
