TOWNLEY TOOK "HOME OF BEACH __ NOTEENDORSER St.. Paul, Minn., April 29—Donald ‘McDonald of Beach, N. D., who was at the Merchants hotel yesterday aft- ernoon, declared he would like to meet A. C. Townley, president of the ‘National Nonpartisan league, and col- lect $2,218, represented by three notes which: Mr. McDonald, as a neighbor and friend, says he indorsed for Townley, March 3, 1906. They are part of a series of notes given in pay. Ment for a tractor plow outfit, he a: serted. Mr. McDonald had to pay the notes with: interest. The payments have kept himself and wife poor all the _ years since, he says. He estimates the two notes, one for $768 and the other. for $900, cost him $1,900 to pay. He gave a house and lot in Black River Falls, Wis., for a third n§ e for $850. Promised to Pay “Townley always has promised to pay these notes, but he never has + paid.a dollar on them, and he did not include them in his list of liabili- ties when he went into bankruptcy, | though I think he should have done ; °so,” Mr. McDonald said. t “I came here expecting to see him, ; hut I find he is up on the fifth floor of one of these big business build- ngs and that if I want to see him I will have to tell some one my busi -ities;° and I don’t want to do that. -_ HUMPHREYS’ he full list of Dr. Humphreys’ Remedies for internal and external use, meets the necds of families for nearly every milment from Infancy told age—described in Dr. Humphreys’ Manuai mailed free. : PARTIAL LIST ‘rsing.

Y., April 29—The 4th birthday anniversary of the Hon. hau é Depew,. which fell on April 23, was celebrated April 27 at j the Montauk club of Brooklyn, which |thus honore:l its distinguished mem- ber for the. 27th vonsecutive year. | Mr. Depew’s annual address was the usual masterpiece. Speaking of the tendency to reminis cence on such occasions, after review- ing his long connection with the Mon- tauk club, Mr. Depew swung into some of his recolections of public men and Speaking of General Grant, General Grant’s autobiography was as in fact the greatest financial success of any book ever published in | America, but it is intrinsically of the highest value both as a revelation of | th man and of a story of the most critical period in our history. It was written under the most dramatic and tragic circumstances. _He had been stricken with a fatal disease, and | knew it, but the will power which I jhave mentioned carried him through until he had completed the book. [ heard that he contemplated going to Mt. McGregor, near Saratoga, and call- ed at the house to arrange for a spe- cial train to take him up there with j all possible comfort. He expressed a desire to see me, and as I was ush- ered into his study he was busily en- gaged upon his book. His voice was | then almost ‘gone, because of the can- cer in his throat, but he immediately vegan to ask me questions, and es- pecially expressed a desire for. stories or reminiscenses which would relieve the strain of his work. In a little while he said, “That reminds me,” and 1 knew then I was to be the fortunate possessor of a story from the most reticent of men. This story is pertl- nent to the prohibition ,, sentiment which is not sweeping over the coun- try. The General said, “One of the ; most interesting men I ever knew was U. S. Senator Jim Nye of Nevada. He ‘had the largest fund of anecdotes and told them better and he was one of {the best of political speakers, I per- suaded him to stump the ‘country for me. In telling me of his adventures, he said that he stopped at ‘a large }manufacturing town in ‘New England jand was entertained by the leading n and manufacturer. The man | liv very handsomely, his dinner and ‘also the supper afterwards: were all that could be desired as to food, but s the only drink. Nye was a ant and thought little of any en- nment that did not have wine. | The Senator said, ‘After a long speech and ‘then talking: to all the magnates cf the neighborhood, 1 went to bed a. powderhori T could not und as. soon vas daylight it down into the dining room. As 1 sat there the mistr of the house came in and said. you are up fearlys’ “T said, "Y: living in the west > long. Loam afilictel with malaria ‘and f could not sleep.” She went over jto a tea-caddy, took out a bottle and mato jsaid, “Senator, this, is a, prohibition itown, you know, but we have malaria jand |. find this .a. good ‘antidote. 1 . | know it will do you good.” The sen- pat ized the bottle with avidity and thankfulness. Ho settled again in his i seat by the window, thore in harmony | with the world. Then-the -head of the house came in and said, “Senator. you are up early.” He said, “.es, malaria, | vou know.” “Well, said the old gen- | tloman, “we have a cure for that.

After the old gen- uleman left, the two’sons came in and said, “Senator, are you fond of live- stock?” The senator by that time was fond of everything and everybody. He said, “Yes, I love livestock. plenty of it on my ranch.” show you some.” They took him out o the harn, closed the doors, and said, ‘Senator, we know you must have haa a hard time last night. We have no livestock, but we have a bottle in the haymow.” Senator Nye then said to the General, “The trouble with a pro- hibition town is that when you most need it you can’t get it, and when it does some it is line a western 100d, too much of it.” History Will Date From June, 1914, Has it ever occurréd to you that this overwhelming .tragedy waugn which we are passing will obliterate all past history? We feel it already. History will date from June, 1914. ‘tue literature which the world tragedy will inspire will be our reading mat ter for the future. During these three years and a half there is no part of the sixteen hundred millions of people} who inhabit this earth who have not felt its effects. More than a thou- sand: millions of them have been di- rectly concerned. According to the] latest estimates, fifty millions of peo- ple have died in battle, but mainly by starvation and hardships in the de- vasted countries. Fifty millions) Equal to one-half the popuiation ot the} United States have been blotted out by this war. The debts of the various countries in 1913 were about twenty billions of dollars.. They were a stag- gering load to all the countries but the United States. A financial expert has estimated that by the end of the year 1918, these debts wil amount to one hundred and sixty billions. Ger- many’s appropriations for all purposes | civil and military, the army and the navy, were in 1913 between eight and nine hundred millions. The interest charge alone upon her present deBt at five per cent is sixteen hundred mil- lions. If we add to that one thousand millions for her civil and military ne- cessities her taxation will rise from eight hundred millions to two thous- and six hundred millions if the war should close now. ‘fhe increase 18 quite as large for all theother coun- tries. The entire wealth of Eelgium. Northern France, Serbia, Armenia and Poland has been practically wiped out. There must be in the financial settle- ment a realignment, restoration and reparation that staggers the imagina- tion. We thought at the close of the Civil War that a de>t of four billions would be a burden so great as to keep us under the harrow for’ generations. The thrift, energy, enterprise and gen- ius of our people and vast resources, rapidly developed, négatived all these prophecies. We have been more than a year in this. war, but we have already spent and loaned over twenty billions of dollars. When the reorganization and reconstruction are completed, there! will be a new era in this world, with new: provlems. The vital things of the past will have no relation to the present, and: in the evolution of in- dustry the undreamed -of former times will be the realities of the hour. Every nation will be’ too absorbed in its sorrows, its losses, its burdens, the problems of its reconstruction and ‘of ats relations to the rest of’ the world and its future safety to care for the past which preceded this war. Homer pictured the heroes and the conditions of his period so graphically and with so much cs our common hu- man nature that his epic has survived the centuries. Dante did the same for his time, and Shakespeare visualized his period. In Rousseau, Mill, ‘Spen- cer and Emerson we can find the cre- ation and crystallization of ideas for whose preservation most of the ,civil- ized world is fighting. There are thirty-seven millions of men on the battle fronts in all the con- tinents and seven seas of the world. The problem of their absorption, af- ter the discipline and experienge of the camp, in the economic life of na- tions, is to be one of the most serious wthich ever engaged the attention of statesmen. Therefore I. believe this new world will be wholly absorbed in its statesmanship and its literature, with a world which has been devastat- ed and is to be recreated. The Dream of the Socialists, its Real- ization and Results. The dream of the socialists, a gov- ernment controlled by the principles of Karl Marx, was realized. They had Russia with her great armies, uu- limited resources and absolute power. They killed or imprisoned those who disagreed, with them, they arbitrarily suppressed the press, they confiscat- ed property. They tried to destroy the church and. its influence and ruled more arbitrarily, autocratically and tyrannically than the Czar and the bureaucracy which were over- thrown by the revolution. On the the- ory that internationalism is to suc- ceed nationalism, they disbanded the Russian armies and navy and signed a treaty of peace with Germany with- out reading its terms, under which the ports of Russia, her mines and whea: fields and vital resources and territor- ies, which made her a great power in the world, were surrendered to the enemy. Anarchy and chaos instead of law and justicé rule a helpless people. Truly, in the great settlement which makes the world safe for democracy, democracy must be made safe for the world. The German socialists, upon whom ‘Lenine and Trotzky relied, were as eager as the junkers and military aris- tocracy for the spoil and loot of Rus- sia. The experiment has demonstrated that the safety and prosperity of any nation is in the patriotism of its peo- ple, even if need be to the limit of old Commodore Decatur's toast, “Our Country! In her intercourse with for- eign nations may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong.” \ The Boast of Hindenburg. It was the proud boast of Hinden- burg that he would be in Paris on the first of April.

The German people will be summoned to form a government by: the popular will in any form they wish, but upon lines which will for the present and future remove the threat of a militar- ism that imperils the peace of the world. Peace Movements and Real Peace. One of the most curious and inter- esting of the efforts of the last. forty years has. been the movement for peace. I found traveling on the same ship when I went to. Europe over thirty years, ago a peace delegation from the United States to a congress which was to meet in London. I tole Mr. Gladstone about it and he said the whole idea was absurd, with over seven million men in arms in Europe alone. The convention met, but the London papers did not regard it of suficient importance to note its pres-. ence. All efforts for peace during the last quarter of a century, and now, emanate from (Germany. With the rest of the world they have been and are genuine and humane. With the Prussian General Staff there have a vast propaganda to lull the world to sleep while German autocracy and mil- quest. The Hague Tribunal originated iwth the Czar. The nations entered it sia, who carefully and very ably avoid- ed committing _ herself The result of this propaganda was gen- eral unpreparedness. England at the commencement of the war'could send to the continent only one hundred an fifty thousand’ men. ° Our own sit- uation was utter unpreparedness in trained men or munitions or any of the elements necessary for the prose- cution of war.’ The. safety of the world depended upon France. The kaiser compelled her to dismiss Del- classe, and her foreign minister, whom he discovered alone among seatesmen of Europe saw and was trying to meet Germany’s ambitions. He appealed to Queen Victoria to eliminate France as a danger to the British empire, but met with a flat’ refusal. He started to take away from France Morocco, and did succeed ‘in alienating a large part of ‘her ‘African: colonies. This constant. threat of the German, army always close to’ the -borier, and of- ten over the line, aroused the fears of the French ‘republic, so that alone of European ‘nations ‘outside of Ger- many: she had for -her defense an was this army as a nucleus and the preparations’ by which it could be re- cruited and supplied: with war mater- idl which said to the German ‘invasion lat Verdun, “You shall not’ pass.” .and at the Marne saved for the world lid- erty and Christianity.
