(Established 1873) THAT CHAIN STORE SCHEME Comrade Townley has made the mistake common to many gamblers—he has played his hunch too hard. He foun $3 members comparatively easy pick- ings, and he bosted the ante to $9. The nine-dollar men nibbled freely, and Townley raised to $16, At this figure he coralled, his Nonpartisan Leader states, 150,000 members, who turned over to Mr. Townley $2,400,000, For this sum no accounting has ever been asked or given. Comrade Townley, as he testified at his bankruptey hearing here this week, eheeck he may draw, ‘‘for one automobile or for a dozen,’’ will be promptly honored. The membership proposition was good. The Non- partisan Publishing Co., with its two valuable news- papers which have cost their apparent owners and one penny—Edwin C. Wood so testified at the Townley hearing—was also good.’ The Nonpartisan Leader two years ago was receiving $300 a page for-its advertising. It must be getting more now. ,Ats 150,000 subscriber's are all paid in advance, with- out one penny expense to the company. It need em- ploy no sers nor circulation crew nor collee- tors. Its ) per annum from each league member is pure velvet. Yes, the Nonpartisan Publishing Co. is a mighty good business venture—there is nothing in the Northwest to compare as a money-maker with this splendid example of a ‘‘kept press.’’ The League Exchange, incorporated for a million dollars, didn’t do quite so well. Townley admits they have collected on farmers’ notes only $50,000 to date, but they have $100,000 in notes still to be realized upon, and they have Jim Manahan’s mort- gage and bond company to handle these notes. 'Yownley doesn’t regard the United States Guaranty Co. much to brag about, but it is doing its little bit for the common weal. f Then, on top of all of these enterprises, in every one of which Townley is. president or manager or da or. in all of which his. interlocking system of direetorates has complete control, in none of which the average sixteen-dollar man has a word to say, ed States the center of the world, Bismarck was destined to ‘‘be the metropolitan hearth of the world’s ilization.’?

If there ever had been any question, laying aside patriotic considerations for the moment, as to the value to the capital city of North Dakota of the name which its founders gave it, The New York Evening Post supplies the answer. Bismarck stands pat on its name. Bismarek stands pat on its destir The capital city of North Dakota It may have been a generation in aceumulating 5,000 souls, but it required less than a decade to add 3,000 to that 5,000, and the next generation will undoubt- edly see Bismarck a city of 20,000, OF course, that is not metropolitan in a New York sense, but no New Yorker or other easterner ean have any adequate conception of how very, very big the west’s smallest towns are. If New York had half the “pep”? to the square inch that Bismarck has it wouldn't have come so ciose to eleeting a socialist mayor, nor would it have slid back into the clutches of Tammany, nor would it have done a great many things of which no real western town would be guilty. Bismarek’s population is increasing proportion- ately about 100 times more rapidly than Nev York’s. When it comes to quality, Bismarck abso- lutely declines to accept any comparison between its 8.500 people and New York's five millions Bismarck has grown up to its capitol, just as our forefathers predicted it would do. It will grow around it and past it and make the state house and its park the center of the capital city in fewer years than anyone now may predict.

These rumblings broke out again at the Grand Pacific hotel this week, when Townley in person appeared before the executive committee of the Farmers’ union and the State Grange in an effort to hammer down their throats his chain store plan. Townley, for the first time in his meteoric carcer, found himself plunging against a stone wall. The more he raved, ‘the louder he roared, the steadier these sensible, slow-going, thinking farmers sat in their seats. For Townley that meeting was the beginning of the end in North Dakota. He has overplayed his hand. His bluff has been ealled, and when he is forced to lay down his bob-tailed flush we would not like to be in Townley’s shoes, nor in the brogans of certain henchmen who have assisted him in putting over his schemes.
