Big Townley Meetings Arranged A. C. Townley, president of the National Nonpartisan league, will speak at the following named places on the dates Sioux Falls, S. D., March 4, afternoon and evenmg. Linceln, Neb., March 6, afternoon and evening. Grand Island, Neb., March 7, afternoon and evening. League speakers of national reputation will accompany Mr. Townley on this tour and the program at each place will Protecting Democratic Institutions X : or = : : Rogues Can’t Punish Themselves FTER being advertised in a manner most gratify- ing to themselves in the local press, the self- chosen officers of the 100 thing; so they took up the case of a certain farmer who by reason of his wisdom and independence of character had fallen into disrepute among the most “respectable” people of that most respectable community. In fact, the unquestionable respectability of the town could be inferred from its boast that it had more buildings daubed with yellow paint than any other town west of the Mississippi. It was decided to give the wise man an opportunity to say something se- ditious, so a special committee of 10 bedecked with the latest patriotic in- signia rode out to the farm and found its owner patiently endeavoring to teach a calf to drink out of a pail. “Hard job you’ve got there,” re- . marked the spokesman of the 100 per cent Americans by way of introducing the distinguished party. “Yes,” replied the wise man, “he has the unfortunate habit of butting in when there is no occasion for it, but he will learn.” “We have just formed a 100 Per Cent American club to aid the win- ning of the war,” continued the lead- ing American, well aware that he, too, was butting in and that'it wasn’t a question of not knowing any better as it was with the calf. “You will probably try to speed up things in town then, I suppose?” ask- ed the farmer. “We are badly handi- capped in producing food by not being able to get supplies for the farm and by:not being able to move our grain. The money shortage is cutting us down a lot too.” “Those are big things, of course, and we are working hard for them,” protested the spokesman, “but our primary object is to teach greater re- spect for the Constitution, the courts, - and law and order. We are going to fight those agitators who are trying to overthrow our democratic institu- tions—" Here the wise man had the audacity to interrupt the smooth flow of the set speech, probably because he had had all he could stand without protest . from the 100 per cent Americans as well as from the calf. “Impossible,” he broke in, “the men who are over- turning law and order are too big to be reached by your methods.”" “Too big to be reached?” cried sev- eral at once, thinking that at last they had stirred up the much desired seditious remarks, “do you or any like you think—?” “Just what I said,” replied the wise man, ) you had any sense. See how the profiteers are able to prey on a people at war without restraint. See-how the big mterests are usmg our legal ma- ¥ S e eie Aol WO g Per Cent American club - found xt most advisable to do some- “and you men wou'd know it if" (An up-to-date parable) chinery to frame.up labor leaders like Tom Mooney: and the Nonpartisan league leaders. See all the mob vio- lence we have had in the Northwest. The men who are doing these things can. not be reached by education. They’re too big for the law, .The common people must organize to drive- them out of public office.” With this off his mind, the farmer threw the empty pail to the ground - and ‘started toward the barn and the 100 ‘per cent Americans put their heads together hastily to decide on a course- of action. “Ain’t that sedltlous"” asked one. “I hardly think the charge would stand even before Judge -, who owes me a lot of money on his house,” declared the spokesman deliberately. “He hasn’t violated the law, and as I told you men before we started out, the only way to ‘get’ hard cases of this kind is by tar-and feathers. They just laugh at our yellow paint, call it the color of the special interests and keep right on organizing.” “Close the gate as you go out,” called the farmer from the barn; “I'm in a hurry to let the stock out and get busy on war work.” MONEY If you save all you earn, you are a miser. If you spend all you earn, .you are a fool. If you lose it, you're out. If you find it, you're in. If you lend it,-you’ re always after them. If you owe it, they re always after you. It’s the cause of evil.. At’s the cause of good. It’s the cause of happiness. It’s the cause of sorrow. If you make it, it’s all wrong. As a rule it’s hard to get. But it’s pretty soft when you get it. . It talks. To some it says: “I’ve come to stay.” To others it whispers: “Goodby.” Some people get it at a bank. Some people go to jail for it. The mint makes it first. It’s up to you to make it last. —Ben S. Kearns in Life. A SOLDIER’S OPINION With American Exped:tlonary Force. _ Mr. A.
