"Townley has played the game too
fast and loose. His organization can
not now throw off the faint of disloyal-
ty because this very cost of living con-
ference was to be a bid for the support
of loyal people of the state who want
this government to stand for equal JUS
tice in pressing problems here at home.
And while Townley and his follow
ers have ranted and shown that they
care nothing for the solution of present
day problems but only to furth-
er their own political interests,
array class against class, and palsy
the strength of the nation, the patriotic

sentiments don't go in Minnesota. One
organizer resigned because he was in
structed to talk disloyalty, and at least
one disloyal meeting was arranged by
the League and then abandoned.
so when it came to the st. Paul
meeting, Townley announced that any
one who talked disloyalty would be
escorted from the hall-a pretty big
contract considering that he had Van
Lear, La Toilette and Gronna on the
program.
Then the meeting assembled and the
talking began with all the usual rant
ing about profteering and food specula-
ton, harmless enough in so far as any
thing which is false can be harmless,
but without yielding one single con-
structive suggestion.
Then La Toilette came on and said
that the war was to uphold the right of
American citizens to ride on British
munition ships, and the disloyal bunch
recognized that here was just what they
were waiting for and they cheered La
Toilette in his disloyalty while Town
ley made no effort to redeem his prom
Use and eject him from the hall.
Then TOwnley charged Hoover with
declining an invitation to the confer
ence but spending the time with the
grain gamblers in Chicago, while as a
matter of fact Hoover was in Wash
ington all the time.
Then he wrote to Roosevelt (whose
arraignment he fears) that somebody
was trying to get him to brand the
farmers as dislOyal, when it is perfect
ly apparent that the farmers are loyal
but that Townley fears that he will be
branded as disloyal as he has already

1t looks very much like that the Euro
pean war has reached the crucial point and
that before spring comes again the end Will
have come. With Russia suing for peace
and a temporary armistice declared, the
Germans are throwing their full strength
against the Allies and while the latter is
standing the onsaughts like stone wall, it
is very apparent that one side or the other
will soon show weakness on account Of the
fearful slaughter of men and the side show
ing weakness first will evidence the begin
ming of the end To say the least, it is an
awful struggle, and hair-raising situation
''Once a politician always, always one"
can be aptly said and in substantiation Of
the point in question, last Saturday a copy
Of Cayton's Weekly per chance fell into the
hands of Capt Harry K Strive, who has
been confined to his home for some time
and after reading the same, it brought
memories Of the past to him, when he was
a Seattle politician and the editor hereof
was doing political stunts in the Fifth of
the Fifth, and he ordered it sent to him for
the ensuing year. It was from that district
that Capt. Strive was elected a member OF
the legislature and the editor hereof was a
delegate in the convention that nominated
him. If we make no mistake, Harry was
born in Olympia, and if not, he spent many
of his early boyhood days there and in 60
.ng to the legislature he was but revisiting
his old home much honored guest. AS
member of the body he was some man on
the floor and made great record He was
very popular with the members of the
Third House and always had crowd about
him in the evenings, telling them of his boy
hood days in Olympia. Once, when the
crowd stood around and Harry was telling
funny stories, a young fellow walked up to
him with, 'IIello, Harry! Don't you re-
member me? l am the fellow that was with
you when we got caught in old man Thomp-
sons apple orchard, helping ourselves to
his apples.' But Harry did not remember
him and Van De Vanter and the gang be-
gan to smile and smiled so loud that you
could hear them quite a few blocks For
once the joke was turned on Harry and as
we remember it now, those who "took some
thing" were so numerous that Harry re-
fused to count them and handed over all
the spare change he had with him and
called it even.

of her immortality and yet the war depart

cleans up to it's liking Under such circum-

wood pile. The Good Book teaches us that
while the lamp holds out to burn the viest
sinner may return.
Let it be understood now and forever
that the editor of Cayton's Weekly
las no fears of criticisms and is absolutely
Fearless OF what any one may say about him.
We have no intention Of entering into any
newspaper or personal controversy with any
one, but reserve the right to handle things
OF a public nature we see fit, however,
always in a pleasant manner.
Men and women of the great underworld
may be leaving Seattle by the scores, hun
