MAY JOIN NEW PARTY

A Mass State Convention of the Pro-
hibition Party will take place at the
West Hotel convention hall, Minnea-
polls, on Friday April 10Th. It will
open at nine A. NJ when Frank P
Vroman, who will be temporary chair
man, will give the keynote address.
All members of the Prohibition party,
both men and women, who are of legal
age, are entitled to the privileges Of
the convention.
The convention will determine whe-
Their the name of the party in Mime
sofa shall be changed to the National
party. 1t also will plan the state and
national amendment campaigns.
The convention doubtless will vote
for a change of name. Fourteen mem
bers of the Minnesota delegation of
sixteen to the National convention of
the Prohibition party which met at
Chicago, March 5th and 9Th, voted
for union with the new National party
which organized last October. That
party includes in its makeup the Pro-
gressive party; also that element of
the Socialist party which, under the
leadership of John Spargo, broke
away from that organization when it
put itself on record against the pro-
secution of the war at St. Louis a
year ago, and several other groups of
political independents.
A small majority of the National
Prohibition convention voted in favor
of uniting with the National party, but
the effort to unite failed temporarily
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1918-04-17

because the convention had decided
that union should not take place I'M
less approved by a two-thirds vote.
The convention, however, expressed
it's pleasure at the organization Of the
new party, gave its God-speed to all
Prohibitionists who should unite with
it and authorized the Prohibition ma
tional committee to cooperate with
the national committee of the new
party regarding congressional nomin-
atoms.
In case the approaching state con-
vention should vote to change the
name of the Prohibition party in Min
nesota to the National party, all the
partisan activities Of the Prohibition
party in this state will at once be
turned over to the National party,
and the present Prohibition state COM
mittee will devote all its efforts and
funds hereafter to the passage of the
state amendment in November and to
the election of bone-dry legislature
which will vote to put Minnesota in
line as one of the thirty-six states
whose approval of the Federal amend
ment is necessary to its passage.

THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT
Nevertheless. prosecutions that

nevertheless, prosecutions mat
were political in purpose might be be-
gun by governmental agencies against
those indulging in perfectly proper
criticism, and while in the end judges
and juries might be depended on to
do justice, such prosecutions would in
the meantime put an undeserved stig-
ma of disloyalty on their victims.
Even ultimate acquittal would not
serve entirely to remove such a stig-
ma"
The above comment occurs in an ar
ticle in the Minneapolis Journal April
10 on the Overman sedition bill. What
can be more contemplate than trying
to attach on undeserved stigma of dis
loyalty to a fellow citizen because he
happens to differ from you in political
views or for any personal or business
reason? Yet this very thing has been
done to large portion of our citizens
during a year past and the very people
who now are alarmed that their own
freedom to express their political
views might be curtailed by the Demo
Gratis have not frowned upon the prac-
tice, but on the other hand have en-
couraged it. Now that the shoe may
be put on the other foot, they see the
matter in another light. We all join
with the Minneapolis Journal In the
concluding paragraph of THIS article
which reads as follows: -<.t$,s

10 CENT "cASCARETS"

No odds how bad your liver, stomach

how miserable you are from constipa-
ton, Indigestion, biliousness and slug
gish bowels-you always get relief with
Cascarets. They Immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, fermenting food and foul gases;
take the excess bile from the liver and
carry off the constipated waste matter
and poison from the intestines and
bowels. A l0-cent box from your drug
gist will keep your liver and bowels
clean; stomach sweet and head clear for
months. They work while you sleep.

WELFARE OF CHILDREN
IN CERTAIN CASES


The Children's Bureau of the State
Board of Control sends us the follow
ing:
Mary Jones was an unmarried
mother whose baby was born a few
weeks ago in St. Paul hospital.
Her family had not known of her con-
dition until the birth of the child
When they learned of the situation
there was violent anger, overwhelm-
ing shame, and something akin to hat
red for the mother and babe. And
why? Because Mary had sinned in a
human way and brought disrepute up
on her family. The feeling was to a
degree natural, but it was selfish; for
the health, well-being and future of
Mary and her child were entirely lost
sight of, while her relatives INDUCED
in self-pity and sought means Of Sc
curing secrecy at any cost.
The birth of the child was reported
to the State Board of Control, whose
duty it is under the law ito take care
that the interests of the child are safe
guarded, that appropriate steps are
taken to establish his paternity, and
that there is secured for him the near
as possible approximation to the care,
support, and education that he would
be entitled to if born of lawful mar
riage." After patient and long contin-
ued urging, Mary and her family were
convinced that Mary should not bear
the burden alone, but that the father
of the child should be made to share
fully in his responsibility. The alleg-
ed father was approached and admit
ted relationships of intimacy but re-
sorted to the well-known method of
charging promiscuity. He offered a
few hundred dollars just Ito settle the
matter" However, he was informed
that under the law the father of an
illegitimate child is Subject to all the
obligations for the care, maintenance
and education of such child, and to
all the penalties for failure to perform
the same, which are, or shall be, i'm
posed by law upon the father Of a le-
ultimate child of like age and capa-
city," 1t was made clear that any set
tlement must be made on the basis
OF paternity and not as a contribution
OF hush" money. The man was stub
born but upon trial was declared to be
the father of the child. He came to
the Board of Control for settlement.
would five hundred dollars be
enough" was the question put, and the
answer was, "A legitimate child
could not be supported on such a sum
the manner Of the child's coming does
not alter the cost of his existence"
AS the father was about to enter the
service of the United States Govern
ment, it was agreed that he should
pay down $4,000 to cover immedi-
ate expenditures; that he should allot
one-half his pay and secure the Gov
eminent allowance making $25 a
month for the child, together with a
Government insurance policy for $751;
100000, new agreement to be enter
ed into when the war was over to
cover future support.
Complete secrecy surrounding child
rem born out of wedlock will protect
only those who are able to protect
themselves, the child is forgotten be-
cause he cannot defend himself. The
State Of Minnesota will hereafter
speak for him.
