The men who vol- unteered a week's services to this errand of mercy are praise, but in the final analysis the results form an eloquent tribute to the generosity of the good people of Burleigh county. These are days of self-denial and engaged in the worst war of history and if patriot- ism ever meant anything, it becomes now a vital, fundamental force in our daily lives. City and county dwellers joined hands in a common cause and emptied their purses into the mercy There was no murmur; gift was spontaneous because hearts were touched, The honor roll is long, Tribune wants especially to commend twenty or thirty men women who, under the efftcient lead- ership of Mr. 1H. P. Goddard, brought this drive for war relief funds to such a glorious finish. It was no small task to double this county's allotment to the $100,000,000 That was not the objective, but the sweeping enthusiasm of the people carried the teams beyond the to a triumphant Volunteers went with Hobson into Santiago harbor to block it and bot- tle up the Spanish fleet.

Townley as Western and Eastern Editors View Him THE NEW AGRARIAN SOCIALISM. (Minneapolis Journal.) Even a casual perusal of the remarks of Mr. A. C. Townley at the Glencoe Nonpartisan league meeting on Thursday leaves a strong impres- sion in the mind of half-concealed unpatriotism, of subtle appeal to class prejudice, of twisting of tacts in order to produce unwarranted conclu- sions. Some of the farmers may be fooled part of the time, perhaps a few of them can be fooled all of the time, but they cannot all be fooled all. the time, nor even part of the time. They will surely penetrate very soon, if they do not now, the fallacies of the Townley argument. ‘Take the war question. Mr. Townley luke-warmly professes to support the war, yet strives to produce the impression that it is a rich man’s war, drafting the farmer’s sons for the fighting, and at the same time put- ting the cost on the shoulders of the farmer. He raises the specious cry that, since the poor must send their sons to fight, the wealth of the coun- try should be conscripted to pay the bill. This argument is full of holes. fight, just the same as poor men’s sons. the registration; there will be none in the draft. Rich men’s sons are conscripted to There was no discrimination in Long betore the \draft was agreed on, sons of rich Ameficans were serving on the fron\ France, in the ambulance corps, in the flying squadrons, in the volunteer regiments. They are still serving. As for the cost of the war, it will unfailingly fall.on t! 7 he wealth of the country. The only question is how to adjust it so as to cause the smallest dislocation of economic conditions. Mr. Townley, apparently, would seize enough wealth by taxation to pay the cost as it is incurred. have no Liberty Loans, no borrowing on the country’s credit. That would mean, according to the Townley sophistry, that the soldiers who fight at the front would have to come back and pay the bill, too. To raise by taxation all the money needed to prosecute the war would plainly ‘be disastrous—disastrous no less to the farmers themselves than to the rest of us. Despite Mr. Townley’s sugar-coating of his doctrines of economic chaos, Minnesota farmers are too shrewd to swallow them whole. Conscript wealth? Why, there is a great store of wealth belonging to the farmers on deposit in the banks, and represented in all manner of possessions. Does Mr. Townley mean to conscript that, or has he some cunning device that would permit all farming wealth to escape conscrip- tion? Has not Mr. Townley’s organization itself collected large quantities o! this farmer wealth, and is it not now busily: striving to collect more? Is this to be conscripted, too? Have Mr. Townley and his fellow officers ever accounted for the dollars in dues that have flowed into the treasury? It is for the farmers themselves to think deeply, to consider calmly, to analyze shrewdly. Specious arguments when examined carefully disclose their own fallacies. This is one nation, one country. We stand or we fall together. The war we have entered is to be fought for the dweller in the city and for the dweller in the country, for the children to come as well as those that are here. Cy Victory is as vital to the farmer as to anyone. He who comes among us and strives to array class against class, to breed divisions and contrb- versies, to foment prejudice and passions, to derive wealth and power for himself from such propaganda, is a sorry American, a poor patriot indeed. MORE HARM THAN GOOD. (St. Paul Dispatch.) Though the cities of the Ninth Federal reserve district oversub- scribed their apportionment of the Liberty Loan, the agricultural region fell short and the complete district failed to reach to its share of the investment. There are several reasons for this result and one of them is easy of dis- - cernment if the views, expressed iby A. C., Townley at, Glencoe are to be taken as the general farmer view. ‘Such sentiment as was given ut- terance by: Mr. Townley is calcu- lated-to do more harm than good. He employed certain patent truths to veil statements that ptherwise would be—if they are not in any case—challengeable. Taking: spe- cial pains to approve the military registration and commend the pa- triotism of the farmer boys who enrolled themselves, then to in- dorse the national war,against the autocracy which threatens the lib- egty and democracy ofsthe world, he kept within the line:of safety and loyalty to that extent. But the whole tone of his ad- dress and the impression it creat- ed were not of the same order. It criticized the war covertly and the system of: financing openly and left the inference that big business was back of it; other- wise he was “afraid there would not ‘be»much of a war.” It is easy for a speaker to keep within the limits of the law in his expres- sion, but to overstep the line in its meaning. With so much good ground in the matter of food gambling and speculative extortion, which must - be terminated at all hazards, any speaker may get favorable foot- ‘ing in denouncing the system be- fore an audience of producers. In this respect Mr. Townley gave out many truths and extracted a sym- pathy which is not confined to the Glencoe assembly. It is not mere- ly platitudinous to talk of the au- tocracy in America and the neces- sity of food regulation and con- trol. But he should have stopped there’ It is nonsense, or worse, to talk of unjust profits of gam- blers and middlemen as “wrung from the farmer to finance the war,” and if Mr. Townley does not know it, he should. It is merely playing upon vocational rejudice, a mischievous and per- aps dangerous, undertaking. It. isthe duty which the farm- @r, as Mr. 'Pownley. says, owes to vhimself and: the government to produce the biggest possible crop. But his duty does -not end there. He has the*same.duty of citizen- ship, of loyalty, of service, as his brother in the city:factory or at the city desk. Fortunately the American farmer has vindicated his obligations of citizenship in the past and may be depended upon in ‘the. future. He may be | misled for the moment by appeals that he is net getting his full share of high price results through sinister influences, but not for long will he permit himself among those who -would make this a cause for wavering loyalty or al- low himself to be. raised upon an unstable pedestal as a public mar- tyr. He is made of better fiber than that. Flag Which Inspired Key. The flag .which inspired Francis Meott Key to write the “Star-Spangled Banner” was an immense one, being 00 80 feet wide an@ 42 feet long, when it was hoisted over the Old Fort Me- Henry, near Baltimore, just as the British were about to attack, = a ES More Human Hair Nets Imported. There were 64,308 gross of human for the United States during RESISTANCE TO GOVERNMENT. (New York Times.) The fact that no rebellion will come about in this:country is no reason why the government should pass over efforts to incite rebel- lion. That is, in fact, the direc- tion toward which the activities of the so-called pacifists are tend- ing.. The socialist party’s resolu- © tions calling for “mass resistance” to the draft may be ‘fnterpreted as meaning only passive’ resist- ance, except that any rebel who chooses. to. interpret them in a different way can do so,. A month ago Senator Overman reported.to the senate that the sénator from Touisiana had some letters circulated in his state urging the colored people of. that state—and, I suppose, all through the south —to rise up against the white people during the war. ‘Passive resistance to the gov- ernment of the United States al- ready has in its grip one state of the union, North Dakota; where a populist organization, called the Nonpartisan league, js in, control. This league is. headed by A. C. Townley, who. has: stumped the state calling on the farmers to defeat the Liberty Loan and thus cripple a “rich man’s war.” His speeches and the work of his organization were so effective . that North Dakota, whose allot- ment was $10,400,000, raised only $2,500,000 for the loan, while Mon- tana, the adjoining state, which was called on for only $7,500,000, raised $15,000,000. In Washington yesterday, as the Russian mission arrived at the White House, two suffragettes flaunted in their faces a banner reading in.part: “To the Russian *"Mission:/. President; Wilson and Envoy Root are deceiving Rus- sia!” Even Mr. Kitchin ought to blush to see his name. used in a seditious advertisement in this ;way:>“Cldude Kitchin said: ‘This is a rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight’.” Was it from that speech that Townley got the phrase which he used with such ~effect in ‘North Dakota? The purpose of these and a hun- dred other activities is to incite rebellion, either active or passive, and to hamper the government in prosecuting the war. Since either Germany or the United States must win, the effect of them, if successful, would be to help’Ger- many to win and the United States to lose. In New York Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman have been arrested for preachments neither so violent as those of the western socialists whom Senator Overman cited, 80 artful as those of the pacifists, nor so effective as those of Town- Jey’s North Dakota Nonpartisan league. The government must not palter with attempts to incite rebellion, nor can it much longer ignore them. ’ GOING UP— The state board of control, in let- ting contracts for the penal and char- itable institutions under its. control, j has found in buying $15,000 worth of groceries and meats that syrup in barrels, whole salt codfish and dry lima beans are off the market alto- gether, and that it must pay 15 cents for fresh beef, 25 cents for hams and 35 cents for bacon.
