MARY STEERE. WELL
KNOWN HERE. MARRIED

Word reached here last week of
the marriage of Miss Mary Steere,
formerly of this place, to Glenn M.
Sanborn of Crystal. Miss Steere will
be remembered as sister of Mrs.
Frank c. James.
We quote the following from the
Crystal Mail telling Of the wedding
"A quiet home wedding took place
Sunday at David Steere's cottage,
when in the presence of few near
relatives, Mary Elinor Steere and
Glenn M. Sanborn were united in
marriage, Rev. f. C. Eldred perform
ing the ceremony.
"The bride was gowned in white
Charmeuse and carried pink roses.
"These young people are well
known here, being teachers in the
West End school. Their many friends
unite in wishing them a happy mar
ried life.
"Mrs. James II. Steere entertained
Monday evening in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. Glenn M. Sanborn with an in
formal reception to the relatives"

To Defend the Country

Just now our nation is engaged in a
great campaign TO get ready the de-
Tense of the country. 1t is alleged
that we need larger army, larger
navy and regular training of many of
our citizens in methods of war. We
are told that we must train men to
fight because some nation may desire
to attack us.
Suppose all this were true (al-
though it may be very forcibly denied
and debated), yet we ought also to
have a campaign to educate the peo-
pie of our country in the spirit of
brotherhood. We ought to redouble
our efforts in teaching and exemplify-
ing the Spirit of Jesus Christ. It is
this Spirit which is needed in the
world far more than guns, armies and
navies. Mr.. Bryan was not far from
the truth when he said recently:
"There has not been a time in fifty
years when there was less reason to
add to the expenses of the army and
navy, for we are not only without an
enemy, but our preparedness is in
creasing relatively as other nations
exhaust themselves. And there never
was time, and there never has been
time, in our whole history when our
duty to the world more imperatively
demanded self-restraint and the coun-
sells Of peace"

Nothing in recent years in Bedding

lac the Master Medicine" that is
being introduced in the large Ameri-
can cities, will be distributed in this
city by Wortley & French.
Belding is, indeed, very fortunate
to secure an exclusive agency for
Tanlac. Tanlac is entirely vegetable
in its composition and is free from
all harmful drugs. 1t has been found
universally beneficial in all cases of
stomach, kidney and liver trouble,
rheumatism, catarrh, nervous debili-
ty, loss of appetite, lack of energy,
unsound sleep and as blood puri-
fer and general tonic for rundown
debilitated systems, it has no super
ior. That Tanlac is a preparation of
more than ordinary merit, is evidenc-
ed by the many testimonials from
well known people all over Michigan.
Mrs. Fred l.. Shook of Bentley,
Michigan says:
"Some time ago my whole nervous
system became upset due to stomach
and kidney trouble. | suffered from
the most terrible pains in my back
and side and was unable to sleep.
lost my energy and ambition and had
that tired-all-the-tim feeling. My

In our estimation, one of the great
est heroes mentioned in the daily
press of recent months if that sheriff
at Lima, Ohio, who had in charge U
negro prisoner charged with murder
of a white woman, when a mob of in
furiated citizens attempted to lynch
the negro. That sheriff had sworn
to uphold the law. When several
hundred people attempted to secure
the prisoner, the sheriff used every
effort to guard his man. He was
successful However, before the mob
got through with him, the officer of
the law had been badly injured and
the fright Of the horrible business
had killed his daughter
When Sheriff Ely decided to stand
off the mob at all hazards he had only
his sense of honor to back him. The
people were against him. He spurned
the prisoner. Should he be success
full in his efforts to Illustrate the mob,
it would make them more violent in
their treatment of his family. He
had much to lose and nothing to gain.
He chose to protect his man.
Many heroic deed has been done
by those who sought honor and hero
worship. The greatest hero of them
all is the Ohio sheriff who was sure
to lose if he won. God grant that we
have more of them.
But, that sheriff vii! very likely be
defeated for reelection.

Tho Flag and the Mani

make possible the cight-hour day. In
other words, the men should be given
the same pay for less hours even to
an increase in operating expenses of
fifty million dollars annually; this
huge sum to be provided by an in
crease of freight rates, so that the
farmers and other shippers are really
to pay the bill.
Doesn't it seem, then, that possibly
some North Dakota farmers who are
members of the non-p1rtisan league
have right to feel that their inter-
ests are not being so very jealously
guarded by their president? Isn't it
Il fact that nine out of ten farmers in
the state do not believe that they
should be required to pay higher
freight rates that one class of rail
road employees might receive an even
larger salary than they already Sc
cure? And, yet, haven't they really
helped to force the very proposition
through congress, through the action
of their president, Townley, backed
by the prestige of forty thousand non-
partisan votes, in passing the eight
hour law?
So much for the direct results of
Mr.. Townley's labor plea. Now, to
look at the matter from another an
gle. If it is proper to pass a law ar
bitrarily placing eight hours as Il
days work, isn't it proper to pre-
sumo tina other classes of laborers
will be entitled to demand the same
conditions in the near future, especial
ly where they are working as hard or
harder than the trainmen? If we
concede this point, how long will it be
until the men finding employment in
the harvest fields, through an organ
ization of some sort-possibly the |.
w. W.'s-will be demanding that
law be passed making their working
day eight hours and making it illegal
for farmers to pay a lower wage for
eight hours? And, when the time
comes that it is necessary to pay a
days salary for eight hours work on
the farm, what will the farmer him
self say?
Now, about arbitration: Why should
the non-partisan league through it's
president, protest to congress against
arbitration as means of settling la
Dor disputes? What is more fair
than the plan of arbitration whereby
each side to n controversy is given an
equal show to win? When the time
comes that farm laborers are as we'll
organized as railroad trainmen-and
the time is not far distant-will our
farmers wish to be understood as OPP
posed to forcing arbitration of wage
disputes? In other words, with their
crops in danger will the farmers pre-
fer to give the labor unions the right
to force their demands upon them by
quitting work in body-just another
form of boycott?
1t is well for thinking people to
view each matter as it arises not only
from the point Of view of the matter
itself in question, but from the point
of view of possible consequences.
This Townley letter to congress
ought to call attention of the farmers
to several important points: First,
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1916-09-14

When the non-partisan organizers
were busy, farmers were enticed by
the arguments that business interests
would have to bow to the personal in
terests Of the farmers in the near flu
ture. After instilling suspicion and
distrust of all business interests in
the minds of the farmers, non-parti-
san headquarters is now devoting
page after page of Baer cartoons to
farmer and businessman sticking to-
gether. And the catalog- house liter
ature has disappeared from the pages
of the Non Partisan Leader.

In one or two instances the Record
has taken occasion to call attention
to the incongruity of the present in
termarriagc Of the farmers of the
state and Of organized labor, with a.
c. Townley in the role of officiating
parson. We called attention to the
fact that industrial conditions have
placed the farmers in the class of en-
ploycrs of labor, while the labor
unions are composed entirely of en-
ploycs. Hence, their interests are
Numerically opposite.
The former editor of this paper was
at one time president of the lnterna-
tlonn! Typographical Union, and in his
younger days was prominent in the
labor organizations of this country.
Upon his return from Florida last
spring, the first thing which Impress
ed him was the strange feature of CO.
operation between the farmers and
the organized laborcrs Of the state
under the leadership of men who have
been active in labor propaganda for
years.
AT the present time, we have u
chance to bring our ideas home to the
farmers who read this paper in a
much more direct manner. While
there is great hue and cry about the
farmers themselves being the Non
Partisan League, the simple fact of
the matter is that, to all intents and
purposes, A. c. Townley is the non
partisan league. We cite from an ar
ticle in the Partisan Leader last
week message written by A. C.
TOwnlcy to the North Dakota dele
lows:
In the name of simple justice and
to prevent n disastrous natiOn-wid
strike, with possible suffering and de.
privati0n of millions of people, | urge
you to vote the measure now before
congress providing for eight hours as
a maximum days work for railroad
employees on the present basis of COM
pensatiOn. Also ask that you oppose
any bill which would provide the
slightest degree of involuntary servi-
tudc upon Il single American work
man through any form of compulsory
arbitration. (SignedD A. c. Town
ley, President. Farmers n-Partisan
League"
1t will be noted at once that the
letter is not simply the petition of A.
C. Townley. Rather, it is "a. c..
Townlcy. president, Farmers Nom
Partisan League" In other words,
the delegation in congress is sup
posed to believe that the non partisan
league, an organization of forty
thousand North Dakota farmers,
through their president, demands the
passage of the eight hour law and the
defeat of any law looking towards
compulsory arbitration of labor dis
putes.
Now, so far as the railroads are
concerned, possibly the effect on the
North Dakota farmers is not so deep
" apparent. And yet, Woodrow
Wilson has insisted that the railroads
should be remembered by an increase
of freight rates if it is required to

it ought to show the foolishness Of be-
lieving leaders who pretend to put the
interests Of the farmer and the in
terests of the organized laborers in
the same class Second, it oght to
convince the man who pays, his nine
dollars that his interests require that
he keep pretty close grip on the men
who are running the business. 1t is
all well and good to preach that the
league business concerns no one but
the members. We all have to live

the success or failure of the state
When an organization of forty thous-
and citizens of the state becomes
pretty much one-man institution,
there is danger for every class of cit
liens in the state, farmers included
If you don't believe that statement,
just read the following letter. 1t is
also published in last weeks Leader
and is written by man who will be
one of the members of the next legis-
lature from one of the leading coun-
ties of the state--Burlcigh. The let
ter is addressed to the editor of the
Non-Partisan Leader, and reads as
follows:
Nov, do you think it would be pos
sible or profitable for us to pass bill
ut once to have no lobbying? con-
tend that lobbyist is a parasite and
nothing would please me more than
to inform those gentlemen that their
room was more acceptable than their
company.
IF am elected l will anxiously
wait for your opinion and that of
President Townlcy, the greatest man
in N. ID. today. in my opinion.
&C. N. Varnum."
Isn't that letter gem? 1t matters
not what particular legislation is re-
fcrred to. The significant part of
sioI iSIISi liS last IL
is a confession that the editor of the
Leader and Mr.. Townley are to be the
brains for that particular legislator
And, there are many more who are
slated for seat in the house or SEN
ate next year that will not be as frank
as Mr.. Varnum, but who will be as
completely in the grasp of the new
dictators as Mr.. Varnum. We will
be greatly mistaken if we have not
one of the Varnum class in Emmons
county.
We prophesy that there are to be
more skin-games pulled off during the
next two years in the name of the far
mers than the history Of this state
has ever known under boss-rule,
railroads, McKenzieism, or and other
old ism.
