Early History.
The old church building was erect
ed about 1890 by the Presbyterian
people and it was purchased by the
Methodist congregation in 1908 and
dedicated by them September 9Th of
that year. Prior to that time the
Methodists used the old Baptist church
building which was erected in the
early days on the lot where DR..
Nachtwey's dwelling now stands. The
Methodist people also used the court
house for services for a number Of
years after the society was organized
in 1888. The building which was re-
placed by the new brick structure was
used by the Methodists for seventeen
years.

TOWNLEY A

"Scheduling assets of $497 and liza
bilities of $4,000, A. C. Townley,
president and organizer of the Non
partisan League, and his brother, c.
F. Townley, on Tuesday filed a volun-
tary petition in bankruptcy with H. F.
|O'Hare Of Bismarck, referee for this
district. The International Harvester
Co. is said to be listed as the heaviest
creditor. A number of Beach business
men are also. noted as creditors.
William Lemkc, Nonpartisan chair
man of the Republican state central
committee, and n of the inner circle
of the league, appears as attorney for
the Townleys."
The above item of news appeared in
the Northwest dailies on Tuesday, and
it's reliability was confirmed by adj
vices from Referee O'Hare In his
statement of assets A. c. Townley
says nothing of the thousands Of dol
lars that his wife is alleged to have
stated she has deposited in Montana
banks. Neither does he make any
mention of valuable stock owned in
the N~onpartisan Leader and Fargo
Courier-News.
One state editor states that Presi-
dent Townley's failure in the flax
growing venture is epoch making for
the northwest. Had Townley made
good in his venture he would have
become a wealthy scion of big bust
ness; he probably would not have
joined the socialist party, and it is
certain he would not have undertaken
the organization of the Nonpartisan
league. Hughes would have carried
North Dakota in the last election; the
state would have elected a republican
governor; Baer would not have gone
to congress; there would have been
no producers and consumers con-
v~ention in St. Paul, and perhaps La
Toilette would not have been brought
to the carpet on the ~disloyalty charge.
And who can say but that it would
have been for the better?

sabotage is a direct application of

sad-all with heavy hearts. GOOD

this capacity that he passed the
checks, which later were declared
worthless.

The officer should be the teacher and
the leader of his men. Therefore the
rule should be rightly enforced thai
for an officer the indispensable quail
ification is strong character and a
liberal eduction. He must be a person
whom the men will respect, for the
private soldier gauges instinctively
the spiritual quality Of those who are
set over him.
The military education Of the Off
Ger must aim at making him a tao
tician. All the rest is of the slight
importance. The routine of the ar
my, its methods of administration,
the necessary rudiments of military
law are picked up by the officer in
sensibly in the course of his military
life. But unless he starts with clear
and sound ideas of the essential point
of tactics, of the art of fighting, of
making the best of his mems weap-

In my judgment the important mat
ters for nation going into war are
these:
First of all, the statesmen and the
people should have a true conception
of the nature Of war and of the char
acter of the particular war they are
taking up. Otherwise the leading
cannot be right. The supreme leader
is always the statesman and in
democratic country the people must
understand and sympathize with the
statesman. If he sees too far ahead
they won't follow and If the popular
ideas on the subject of war are not
true the greatest leader may be Grip
pied.
In the military sphere the first
thing is the choice of a commander
and his assistants. When raising an
army the vital matter is the choice
and education of the officers. In the
training of troops all soldiers will
say the thing to aim at is discipline
and the best means of giving it, pro-
