Who Rules ]?


 The legislature says we do. The supreme court says we do. The American citizen says we we. Who is right?
 If man employs lawyer to con duct a case at law, business trans action, or disentangle legal compli- cation, his fullest authority, is the extent of his clients wish to abide by his decision. And there ends his right to act.
 When legislative candidate is put into office, he is singled out, as one to voice the wishes of the many; and his authority does not go any further than the liberty his constituents have given him. And the authority given every legislature by the American people. is that of adjusting interna- tional, commercial, industrial, social and all other inter-relative transac- tions in their highest economic order.
 If any governing body violates the highest public conceptions of eco homie utility of the nations re- sources, either commercially or mor- ally, it is like an incompetent lawyer, bungling to the disadvantage of his client, is legal impostor and for feits, in result of his abuse of that trust, the authority given him, be- cause he failed to carry out his clients wishes. His clients wishes are the authority for his actions.
 So both legislature and supreme court, in virtue of their office, if it is to be kept clean, must use their pow CT of adjustment to promote the highest relationship either conner cially or morally among the citizens, independent of all constitutional lat itude by which they may justify their right to dictate contrary to the citi- zens wishes.
 The fact remains, that legislation is the fruit of moral sensibility, and if that fruit is inferior to the moral dictates of men it becomes obsolete, and no legal body should degrade their standard of juducature because there is no statutory law by which he can be brought to justice. Such an abuse of office is as much crimi- nal as a violation of any statute upon the legal code. One is the corrup- tion of moral sentiment expressed in language, and the other, a moral request not framed in words.
 The supreme court says, they have perfect right to violate the moral sensibilities of any state. We ask, Where did they get that right? If man trusts lawyer with certain sum of money to invest, is he under no obligation to consider his clients wishes, simply because he has au- thority?
 If the supreme court would stand as an infallible tribunal, indicating on all legislative matters, it must see above all commercial expediency, a goal in human nature by which they can bring about the most exalted re- lationship among them.
 Does a indicating body exceed its right of authority, in dictating to a man how far he shall use his personal freedom?
 Before both God and man, no man has any right of freedom, only in so

able Reports are in.

The Red Cross drive opened Mon
day morning with a rush. In Will
mar City it was arranged that people
of the City might go to the post Office

ments, and that those who did not call

a popular one. Four tables were plac-
ed in the postofice lobby with com
mittee at each. During the day many
hundreds of people called, and the
result Of the days work was a total
of about $500, $4,745.36 of which
was in cash. This morning the
soliciting committees composed of
ladies in each ward, began a
house to house canvass for the people
who had not called at the postoffice
on Monday. The City's quota is
$500.
Four outside precincts had been
heard from this afternoon. Holland
reported their quota oversubscribed
by $100. Rosevilles quota had been
exceeded. Atwater reported 1902
raised. Pennock was $50 over the
top.
The drive continues until Saturday
Of this week. The last days will be
used in checking up and picking up
the stragglers. Everybody should
give something.

IN THE CHURCHES
METHODIST EPISCOPAL.
Luther G. Benson. pastor.


The Baccalaureate sermon will be
preached next Sunday evening by Rev.
Jones. This service will undoubtedly
be Of interest to the entire public and
for this reason we have suspended
with all services for next Sunday even
ing.
Our morning service will be Of spe-
cial interest. While we have no old
War veterans in our congregation, yet
on account of the unusual interest
shown at this time in our soldier boys
and the cause Of Freedom, it seems
fitting that we should observe Memoir
ial Sunday in scme appropriate way.
The pastor will, therefore, preach a
Memorial sermon. Special music will
be rendered by the choir and all songs
by the congregation will be of a pa
triotic nature. Members of the con-
gregation are requested to be present
and help make the occasion genuinely
American and patriotic. Service be-
gins at ten-thirty o'clock.
The Sunday school meets at eleven
forty-fve o'clock. Remember our
motto: "We aim for the highest" can
be reached by little faithfulness on
the part of each in regularity.

Junior-Senior Banquet.

The Junior Class Of the Willmar
High school entertained the Senior
Glass at banquet last Friday evening

and speeches were made by Miss
Trumble, Prof G. A. Foster and Eu.
gene Ohsberg, who is president of the
Senior Glass. A recitation was given
by Elvira Jacobson; Class prophecy

song by Luella Grangaard, Florence
Kielty and Buena Aarvig. All men,
bers of both classes were present.
The decorations were carried out in
Junior class colors. The supper was
served in one corner of the room. A
fortune-telling booth had been erect
ed which proved quite an amusement
After the supper, games were en-
joyed the remainder Of the evening.
The Flour Supply.
Figures thus far available on the
flour supply survey now being taken
in Minnesota indicate that there is in
the hands Of consumers sufficient
flour to supply the needs of the people
of the state at the rate of pounds
per capita per month, until the next
crop. is available. This means that
with a redistribution where surplus
exists, practically every community
will be prepared to take care of it's
cwn flour needs from flour already
manufactured and the products of the
mills for the rest Of the summer can
be devoted entirely to export ship.
