JAMES J. HILL.

Death. which is no respecter of per-
sons, removed from this life Monday
morning the railroad builder and mag
nate, James J. Hill. SO closely inter-
woven with the development of the
Northwest has the late Mr.. Hills life.
work been that his name has almost be-
come SYNONYMOUS with that of this Sec
ton of the country.
BY the sheer power of his personality
capacity for work and farsightedness
he rose from a day laborer to the most
commanding position in the financial
circles Of the West. and his influence
was great in Wall Street and all the big
financial centers Of the world.
AS the builder and president Of the
railroad which has placed the City of
Willmar on the map. Mr.. Hill has a
number of personal friends among our
citizens, business men as we'll as veter-
ans in the railroad service, and there
were many evidences Of sorrow and re-
greet when the news of his death was
bulletined here at $3.50 Monday morn

Kellogg stated in his speech at Will
mar that had there existed a standing
army of 100000 in 1860 there would have
been no Civil war. What a shallow re.
mark for a supposedly profound student
and loeician to make! The cause Of the
Civil war was that the interests which
had enslaved labor refused to entertain
any idea of giving up their special priv
ileges. What military preparedness
there existed was divided, with the larg-
er share in the hands of the special in
terests of the South which had controll-
ed the government until the election of
Lincoln. Grant and Lee were both grad
yates Of West Point. Major Pemberton
commanded the military post at Fort
Rfdgely. on the Minnesota river, but
that did not prevent him from resigning
and hiking South, where he became a
general In the Confederate army. The
best insurance against domestic disor-
der is social justice, not standing ar
mics. And national fair dealing with
all the world is our best insurance
against invasion.

ments Of the different candidates. He
closes his comments with these signi-
dcant words about Charles Lindbergh:
"Lindbergh has apparently proven him
self during his long service in congress
as loyal and consistent progressive.
He has generally maintained fearless
and aggressive attitude for what he has
believed is right and for the peoples
welfare. He surely enjoys the conf
dence Of a great many people and there
are many who predict that he will give
the other fellows a pretty hard rum

election. The plan would compel a
short ballot, which all refOrmers are
becoming agreed is the correct prin-


This scheme ultimately would be the
death Of party organizations in Mime
sofa, as the Tribune no doubt knows and
desires. The present system has prac-
tically done away with party RESPONSE
bility and cohesion. If the statewide
direct primary is to be continued, prob
ably the Tribune's scheme would do as
we'll as any. But if party organiza-
tons and principles are to be MAIN
tanned nationally, they must be kept up
in the state and also in local political
units. Is the country ready to dispense
with parties entirely, and leave politics
to self-seeking interests and individ-
uals ?-Minneapolis Journal.
The political writer of the Journal is
mistaken, and grossly misrepresents our
attitude. Our contention is that the
abolition Of party names from all off,
cial ballots would not injure any party
worthy Of the name, but would greatly
| simplify our election laws, and thus re-
duce the cost Of our elections. Further
it would give US a short ballot and COM
pei majority elections.
We walked into a lawyers office the
other day and looked over the statutes
of Minnesota of 1878. There was not
single reference in them to such things
as political parties, much less did they
attempt to regulate them. Now, we pre-
sumo that the Minneapolis Journal will
admit that there existed party organiza-
tions at that time. If there existed pol
day to 1898 without any laws governing
them, what warrant has the political
writer Of the Journal to make such de-
auctions from our statements as those
published above?
In 1898 the State of Minnesota began
the printing of official ballots in what
is known as the Australian system. The
recognition of party names on the same
necessitated first Of all that a political
party be defined by law and also that
the regular organization be protected
in use Of the name. When the direct
primary law arrived this supposedly
necessary protection of the party name
complicated matters very much indeed.
If there is an excuse for the existence
of a party, any compelling principle that
will drive the people to unite to secure
what they want, the party will come and
come quickly. But for many years, as
the Journal writer we'll knows, self.
seeking interests and individually con.
trolled both the main legalized party
organizations, the "ins'' and the outs
so closely that the direct primary wa.
resorted to in order to restore popular
control of them.
AS the political writer of paper
committed to support one of these or
CARNATIONS and trying to galvanize thu
same into shape for another contest with
it's ancient antagonist for the loaves an6
fishes, the Minneapolis Journal man de-
plores the effects Of the direct primary
and wants to abolish it. AS one who in
dependently stands for principles an6
men who will support them, The VIII

mar Tribune editor suggests the reten-
ton Of the direct primary but the cut
ting out Of all needless red-tape and
public expense in conducting party pri-
maries and the abolition of party names
from official ballots in order that we
may get back to first principles, condi-
lions as they existed from the early
days of the U. S. A., to the adoption of
the Australian ballot law.
We do not wish to be understood to
be opposed to the Australian ballot sys-
tenn. 1t was a grand reform. But we
believe the legal recognition of party
organizations that it carried is a vital
mistake which tends to destroy the true
functions of political parties.

THE PARTY AND THE BALLOT.

The Minneapolis Journal of May 2:
1 published the following comment on q
clipping from our columns:
W1LLMAR EDITOR WOULD WIPE
OUT PARTIES.
The Willmar Tribune is a thick-and.
thin defender of the primary law, but
doesn't think much Of political parties
and never did. 1t has affiliated NOR.
or less in the past with populist, prohi
bitionist and democratic parties. So thu
Tribune is willing to concede that thu
primary could be improved on by wip
ing out party designations. 1t says:
1t is all wrong to saddle the ex-
pense of partisan primaries onto
lie treasures. And as far as the
party 0rgan a2 1io "a, are CONCERNED
ed to regulate them have not i'm
proved them in their legitimate
timent.
Why not simplify the whole bust
ness immensely and cut out all the
partisan red tape from our laws?
Let the parties take care of them
sg hich q ana n, have real primary at
be eliminated at the primary and
the choice at the final election would
be narrowed to two candidates for
on any ballot.
We know many people have dis
miTSed this tde "a as rs and
change would be getting back to
first principles. It would harm no
political party worthy Of the name.
The dominant party would be free
to run It's affairs and maintain dis
ciplne' where such might be neces-
sary, but would have to select such
men for it's standard bearers as
would carry at the primary cleo
ton without the legal protection Of
the party name. The minority par
ties could select their candidates as
we'll without interference, but would
have their inning at the primary to
contest for the honor of furnishing
the second candidate for the fall

Henry Morgenthau. U. S. ambassador
to Turkey, says that $50o,0o0,o00 con-
tributed by the people of the U. S. to
relieve starving millions in the war
ridden countries would make us the
strongest nation on earth. But Kellogg
said such an act of humanity would be
paying tribute, and he would rather
spend billions for ornaments than one
cent for tribute. Some of Kellogg's
friends have bet 100000 900 that the
Allies will win If our recollection serves
us right. At least, they put up that
amount Of money to help them out.
