so as to balance the parts against each other so that the Legislature would check the Executive and the Executive the Legislature, and the courts both of them together. The whole conception of government when the United States became a nation was a mechanical conception of gov ernment which undelay it was the Newtonian theory of the universe.
 If you pick up the Federalist some parts of it read like a treatise on as- tronomy instead of treatise on gov ernment. They speak of the centri- fugal and the centripital forces, and locate the president somewhere in a rotating system. And the whole thing is calculation of power and an ad- Justment of parts.

THE T
REPORTED THAT ONE oRaAN1xE1.
HAS SOUGHT MONTANA sToR-.
WITH FUNDS.

Bismarck, June 12.-Reports from sew.
eral bank examiners disclose that there
is much paper Of A. c. Townley s to be
found around this state. Indeed, it will
be a surprise to many members of the
Non-Partisana league to learn that the
SO does not go to pay for the many
Fords which have been purchased.
DO hot Approach Farmers
When the carpetbaggers need a nee
machine they do not purchase it with
the funds collected from the. farmers.
They are too wise to do this. Some
farmer is approached with a tale Of the
thousands of dollars the Chamber Of
Commerce. the steel trust and the Stan.
dard Oil company are pouring into the
state 90 defeat this genuine farmers e.
movement.
Stimulated by the tale of oppression.
the organizer then produces a blank
note and the farmer is told that they
need one or ten machines in order to or
ganize the state. The farmer is not
asked to buy the machine, he simply en-
dorses the note of Townley. so that the
machines can be purchased.
seBig Five" Gets Coin.
These notes are then taken to the
bank and discounted. The banks will,
of course, loan money on the endorse
ments Of their best customers. Thus
the Big Five" get an additional sum IF
money to use, and nc one is out mon =
except the bank. But when the note
comes due-well. it is freely predicted
that there are many farmers who will
have to dig deep to pay back the banks
for the machines which Townley mas.
Made Away With Funds.
All organizers are placed under per-
sonal bonds to Townley to see that they
do not abscond with the autos or the
funds collected. That is, all organizers
have been, since one from the northern
part Of the state concluded that he was
as much entitled to the 50 as Artrander
Townley, and took his collections wit
him to Montana and purchased a general
store. At least such is reported.
But none of the members lave as vel
thought to have Coates. Town1ey and
other members Of the Big Five placed
under bonds.
