B ‘Mention the Leader Whgn ing isbanished like mist - We - -it over here.” Writing Advertisers Bombard the Farmers With Hoaxes (Continued from page 8) statement roasting Mr. Townley, al- though it was the Montana conven- tion and not Mr. Townley that had decided on not indorsing any one for the senate. Then Teagarden decided to break up the Montana League, and if possible get up a “rump” conven- tion of League members to indorse him. He sent notices to League mem- bers to attend a convention he called. Only a handful came and these passed a resolution of confidence in the League and its officers and declared that all members of the League should abide by the decision of the regularly constituted Montana League conven- tion. Teagarden himself signed these resolutions. g Six weeks or more after these events, the .St. Paul Dispatch carried a great front-page story to the effect that a man named “Yeagarden” in Montana had “organized a revolt” in the League and was going to call a state convention to “unseat Townley.” It was said that thousands of Mon- tana members were going to attend this convention. Mind you, this ap- peared weeks after- the Teagarden convention was actually held and had expressed its confidence in Mr. Town-" ley! Teagarden’s. name appeared as “Yeagarden,” and the Dispatch actu- ally had a column, double-leaded edi- torial discussing the possibilities of “Yeagarden” being successful and breaking up the League! The marvel of the hoaxes about the League is that’ they have all been.so apparently absurd. One would think that, no matter how bitter and prej- udiced - League enemies are, they would realize the futility of making any progress by the hoax route. Some time someone will publish a whole volume about anti-League hoaxes, .and it will make mighty interesting reading. Patriotism the Cure for Profiteering (Continued from page 4) _ ican, help the war and back up the boys at the front. But he also wants to make a lot of money out of the war, and lay it aside against a rainy day. In short, he is torn by two con- flicting and perfectly irreconcilable desires. Before April, 1917, the word “patriotism” did not have its present content of inconvenient sacrifice. In the old days, being patriotic only de- manded from the man of property an enthusiastic conviction that the United States was the best country on earth, and an occasional attendance at func- tions where the sentiments of revered, but very dead, persons were repeated in a parrotlike manner which stirred up no social obligations and was highly satisfactory to all' present. Now, however, patriotism has under- gone alarming transformations— transformations so new, so confusing and so truly unbusinesslike, that the profiteer’s mind has not yet been able to adjust itself to them. And yet I believe that, if the profi- teer were directly appealed to by per- sons of authority as, for instance, the gentlemen forming your committee, he might, in many instances, be per- suaded to act like a good loyal citizen. Such an appeal, of course, would not obviate the necessity of a drastic revenue bill; but it would, I think, .give the war_a stronger moral sup-- port in war time, and make proper revenue legislation a comparatively easy matter. CONCENTRATED WEALTH VERSUS DEMOCRACY : The other day I saw a letter from an American lad in the trenches. His friend had written him inquiring what the soldiers at the front were think- ing about. He replied, and I quote only from memory, “We are wonder-- ing whether you people. back home are doing your part; we are wonder- ing what you are doing for democracy back home; while we are fighting for This thought, I learn from many sources, is ‘- running through the armies everywhere. The soldiers of America, of France, of England and of Italy, who are facing death on the firing line ‘that the world may become a better place to live in, want to know how we stay-at- homes are helping. They believe that, if this war for freedom is truly to result in freedom, it must be fought by the civilian at home as well as by the soldier at the front. They feel that, by the time they get back, they will have earned a right to a new: world in which there will be a new richness of "opportunity and a new birth of justice: for all. men. = s The struggle for freedom, as Ed- . . best paper that I ever saw. . There: are a lot of members here in Smith | often on the -battlefield of taxation as on that of war. For by taxation, more than any other function of so-. ciety, is determined whether the wealth, that is, the power in a modern nation, shall be equitably divided among the people, or concentrated in the hands of a master class. The story of a nation’s liberties is generally written in its tax laws; give me the power to tax, and I can enslave or free any class of the population, from the millionaire to the humblest worker in the mine. The importance of the duties of your committee at this time - can not be exaggerated. Out of the great revenue bills that now come be- fore .you, will emerge, in no unreal sense, the measure of the democracy that America, ‘at the dawn of peace, will offer to those who have fought and toiled through the long night of war. : KANSAS PESTS Carneiro, Kan. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: ‘As the days pass along the capi- talistic hirelings are waxing warmer. Herewith a clipping from the Salina Union by that P.(urling) E.(xecution- er) Zimmerman, who presumes to an- nihilate the Leaguers with a stroke or two of his trenchant pen. This P. E. Zimmerman is the same bootlicker I referred to in an article for publi- cation in the Leader. We are being attacked on all sides under many guises. Recently one Knowles from Chicago lectured here soliciting aid for the Salvation Army. He also made it an opportunity to in- dulge in local politics and he denounc-* ed the Nonpartisan league in unmeas- ured terms. If the last few warm days have developed rabies in Zim- merman, dog days will surely work havoc. g FRANK MULLEN. WHY NOT CROP INSURANCE? Dixon, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: It seems to me that national crop insurance is the remedy for combating the crop failures so common to- this arid section. Our League seems silent on this subject..
