A Boost For Rest Room.

n Boost f0r HeSC Hoom.
Mrs. Stella Woolf who appeared in
Willmar with one of the show COM
panies expresses her appreciation of
Willmar's Rest Room.
"Having been traveller for several
years, have had occasion to be in a
great many different towns, but in
none of them have 1 had the oppor.
tunity of enjoying a more homeike
public rest room than the one sup
ported in this town.
1T Is certainly one of the most i'm
pOrtant assets of country town to
provide a rest room, for it's country
patrons and their tired children, but
also to the traveller merely passing
through.
I'm some country towns have taken
notice the principal. department store
had the only available rest room, con-
sequently the women and children
went there to rest,-and incidentally
they did their trading there as WE'LL
So it is reasonable to suppose that if
a public rest room were provided by
the town, there would not be such
strong incentive for the patronage of
cine store, simply because it provided
this convenience.
"Willmar is very fortunate to have
such a pleasant and congenial lady
aus it public rest room matrOn, and the
writer spent several pleasant hours
in her company.
1--WE shall always remember WILL
mar as thriving and up to date lit
tie city, and it's rest room is certainly
it's essential public utility"

eminent ownership and progressives
who believed that if the door of cppor-
tunity is to remain open to all, the in
struments of commerce must be ad-
by the common government
which alone is able to approximately
maintain equal rights to all and give
special privileges to none.
Then think of the many other de-
velopments made, each one presenting
new problems for the social order to
solve. But thru it all, you can trace
the standpatter and the progressive
those who profited by the existing Or
der and therefore placed their whole
weight into the breeding of the har-
ness, and those who wanted to better
their conditions and chances for ad-
vancement, and pulled ahead.
The great war which has engulfed
us, and into which our nation has been
called to take leading part in order
to vlndicate free government on earth,
has not abolished these two schools of
political endeavOr. Indeed, on the
other hand, like in many other lines
OF work, the shams and articles of the
professional politicians are being burn
ed away in the fiery furnace of the
nations great need, and we may look
for a realignment of political thought
on logical lines more easily compre-
hended and understood by the lay
mind. Instead of the two dominant
parties representing distinct lines of
political thought, each is at present
divided into conservative and radical
wings. 1t was the progressive wing
of the Democratic party under the
leadership of Bryan that gave Wilson
to the world. But even now the as
cendancy of the bourbon element of
the Democratic party is so great that
it will certainly tax the progressive
element to the limit to be able to con-
tinue the rule which has so auspici-
ously begun to apply the principles of
1.-The New Freedom" In this state
we had the humiliating spectacle
of the representative gathering
of the Democratic party deliberately
spurning the support Of the farmers
Of the state, the class of citizens that
has in all times been the bulwark of
free institutions. 1t lost it's chance to
become the real virile political party
Of the state instead of merely an op-
portunist organization kept up to pro-
fit by the mistakes of the opposition.
This is the second time within twenty
years this mistake has been made
And this only because its editors, al
most all publishers of country dailies
and weeklies, refuse to study the prob
lens CT democracy with an open mind
and do little independent thinking.
They follow too closely the lead of the
great news organs, unfortunately in
most cases owned by special interests
which profit by the old order and are
afraid of anything new.
There is going on right now a re-
alignment CT the political forces of the
nation, which may have the greatest
consequences in tow for the future
Are you going to stick your head into
the sand and let the storm sway you
either way it blows, or are you going
to determine on which side you belong,
and take mans part in shaping
things according to your honest con-
victions arrived at after fair investi-
cation?

Our TRANSPORTATION Problems.

Some of our national transporta-
ton problems and difficulties can be
better understood when it Is remem-
bered that in the northeastern section
of the United States, including New
York, Pennsylvania, adjoining States,
and New England, the population is
693 persons to every mile OF railroad;
in the South the figures are 407 per
sons per mile; and in the West, 252:
There are Is square miles OF land
to every mile of railroad in the West,
while in the East there is mile OF
railroad to every 5 square miles OF
land, There are innumerable facto-
ries in this eastern theatre, and the
bringing in of coal and raw material
and the carrying out of manufactured
products make up tremendous freight
tonnage.
The Railroad Administration Is
solving gradually many problems. BY
the elimination Of many unnecessary
passenger trains several thousand en-
gines are diverted from passenger to
freight traffic; which relieves the stu
alton materially. Also by loading the
freight cars to full capacity great
saving is being accomplished. Rout-
ing freight by the most direct route,
and other methods adopted by the ad-
ministration, are doing much to ease
the strain on our transportation facili-
ties

United States Revenues.

The internal-revenue collections for
the fiscal year ending June 80 last
totaled $3,672, 100000. The collections
for the preceding year were $500, 000,.
900. This years collections exceed
by nearly $2O0,00O,000 the estimates
made when the war revenue measures
were passed by Congress last year.
Four thousand persons were en-
ployed in the work and the total cost
Of the collection was only 81, 100000
The patriotism reused by the war
contributed largely to the success of
the work, and the taxpayers assisted
and cooperated with the Government.
A determined effort will be made
to bring to book tax evaders in every
part of the country. The Treasury
already has evidence against large
number who have sought to- evade
taxes, and by checking up contracts
and with other data the Government
expects finally to discover and pun
ish many tax evaders, as we'll as re-
cover large amounts of revenue ille-
gally withheld.

Our War Intentions.

1--WE intend what our forefathers,
the founders of this Republic, in
tended. We in America believe our
participation in this war to be the
fruitage of what they planted. Our
case differs from theirs only in this,
that it is our inestimable privilege to
concert with men out of every nation
what shall make not only the liberties
of America secure, but the liberties Of
every other people as we'll
There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can be
no compromise. No halfway decision
would be tolerable No halfway deci-
sion is conceivable.
"The blinded rulers of Prussia
have reused forces they knew little
of-forces which can never be crushed
to earth again; for they have in their
heart an inspiration and, purpose
which are deathless and of the very
stuff of triumph. From the Presi-
dents Mount Vernon Address.

ON WHICH SIDE DO you BELONG?

Why is it so difficult for people of
different political opinions to credit
the opposition with honost intentions?
Since representative government be-
gan there has always been two schools
of political thought, the conservative
and the liberal, or in more recent par
lance-the standpatter and the pro-
gressive. In the formation of our con-
stitutional government these schools
were represented by two pre-eminent
statesmen-Col. Alexander Hamilton
and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton be-
lieved that the majority Of the people
were so liable to be swayed by pas
sion or prejudice, that it was neces-
sary to limit its power by all kinds Of
constitutional checks and executive
prerogatives. He said there are only
two governing principles among men,
personal interest and force. On the
other hand, Jefferson believed in the
rule of the majority, whether right CT
wrong, and was loath to believe that
a majority of the people could not be
trusted to do the right thing for their
country. While holding such opposite
views, and while Jefferson did finally
win out and impress upon our nation
in its early history more of his ideals
of government, than did Hamil-
tons followers, both men have gone
down In history as great patriotic
Americans who both helped shape the
destinies of America, and lay the
foundations for the great country
which is today the hope Of the world.
If the world had remained as it was
a hundred and fifty years ago, there
would probably been less need of pro-
gressives or radicals to keep urging
changes in government to meet new
conditions For instance, the high.
ways in those days were the navigable
rivers and water courses, and the
wagon roads. See how carefully the
rights of navigation were guarded in
the early days, and have remained so
tc, this day. Since then, however, the
railroads have become the real high
ways of the nation, and some Of the
greatest political battles Of the West
were fought TO secure III the first in
stance, government control BY means
of legislation and commissions, and
during. more recent years for the alb.
solute&govsrnmelt ownership, especi-
ally thss trunk lines.

Canoe Overturns.

A lucky escape was the exciting ex-
perience of Miss Catherine Tew and
Fred Hallin at Eagle Lake Sunday
afternoon. They were. about to cross
the lake in their canoe but the strong
wind blowing rendered the canoe
unmanageable. When Miss Tew was
about to change her position in the
canoe, she lost her balance and fell
backwards into the water. Fred, in
an effort to control the boat, likewise
was rocked out of it and found himself
with the young lady Ginning the
water. It was, indeed, fortunate that
the water was shallow and the parti.

Thomas Jefferson, while Secretary

Thomas Jefferson, while Secretary
of State in Washington's cabinet,
openly expressed his sympathy for the
cause of the French Revolution, when
other governments were preparing to-
invade France and restore order. The
atmosphere at New York became so
unpleasant for Jefferson that he re-
signed his portfolio. Yet, later he was
elected president by the aid of some
of these who were radically opposed
to his ideas, and had he lived to this
day he would have seen long parades
in all the cities of the United States
celebrating the anniversary of the fall
of the Bastille, on July IA. Verify,
there is little comfort in the progress
of events these days for the standpat-
ter.

Auto Accident.

The Ford car driven by Albert
Thompson together with three of his
chums was badly damaged as the re-
suit of an accident which occurred
Sunday night. Albert, with his friends
was returning about eleven O'Clock
from Tripolis, when while about to
round a curve in the road, his car was
crashed into by another Ford and
turned off the road and up steep
bank where it remained until pulled
down. Albert firmly declares he was
driving on the right side of the read
but confesses that his bright lamp
may have blinded the eyes of the
other driver and thus caused him to
swerve away from. his side of the
road. Fortunately no one was hurt
but both cars suffered damages which
are being repaired at the Ford Service
Station.
