RESISTANCE 70 GOVERNMENT.

RESISTANCE TO GOVERNMENT
(New York Times.)
The fact that no rebellion will
come about in this country Is no
reason why the government should
pass over efforts to incite rebel
lion. That is, in fact, the direc-
ton toward which the activities
of the so-called .pacifists are tend
ing. The socialist party's resolu-
tions calling for mass resistance"
to the draft may be Interpreted
as meaning only passive resist
ance, except that any rebel who
chooses to interpret them in
different way can do so. A month
ago Senator Overman reported to
the senate that @''. q"
4 the senator from Louisiana
. had some letters circulated in
his state. urging the colored
f., people of that state-and, I
suppose, all through the south

people during the war
Passive resistance to the gov
eminent, of the United States al
ready has in it's grip one state Of
the union, North Dakotay where
populist organization, called the
N0npartisan league is in control.
This league is headed by A. C.
Townley, who has stumped the
state calling on the farmers to
defeat the Liberty Loan and thus
cripple a "rich mans war;" His
speeches and the work of his
organization were SO effective
that North Dakota, whose allot-
ment was $10,400,000, raised only
$2,5O0,00O for the loan, while Mon
tana, the adjoining state, which
was called on for only $7,50O,O00,
raised $15,O00;00O. 49, ,.s

The purpose of these and hun.

rebellion, either active or passive,
and to hamper the government in
prosecuting the war. Since either
Germany or the United States
must win, the effect of them, if
successful, would be to help Ger

States to lose. In New York

MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
(St. Paul DiSDatch,)

MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
st. Paul Dispatch.)
Though the cities of the Ninth
Federal reserve district oversub-
scribed their apportionment of
the Liberty Loan, the agricultural
region fell short and the complete
district failed to reach .. to it's
share Of the investment. There
are several reasons for this result
and one, of them is easy Of dis
:. cernment If the views expressed
by A. c.. Townley at Glencoe are
to be taken as the general farmer
view. ~ ..-.f, d. sr~..s .c',... -
.. Such sentiment as was given ut
terance by Mr.. Townley is calcu-
lated-to do more harm than good.
He employed certain patent truths
to veil statements that otherwise
would be-if they are not in any
case-challengeable. Taking spe-
cial pains to approve the military
registration and commend the pa
triotism of the farmer boys who
enrolled themselves, then to In.
dorse the national war against the
autocracy which threatens the lib
esty and democracy ofsthe world,
he kept within the lineIo safety
a., and loyalty to that extent. ~
J.. But the whole tone of his ad-
dress and the impression it Great
ed were not of the same order. It
criticized the war covertly and
the system of financing openly
and left the inference that big
business was back of it; other
wise he was afraid there would
not be much of war" It is
easy for a speaker to keep within
the limits of the law in his express
sion, but to overstep the line in
its meaning.
With so much good ground in
the matter of food gambling and
speculative extortion, which must ].
be terminated at all hazards, any
speaker may get favorable foot
ing in denouncing the system be-
fore an audience Of producers. In
this respect Mr.. Townley gave out
many truths and extracted SYM
pathy which is not confined to the
Glencoe assembly. It is not mere
ly platitudinous to talk of the au-
tocracy in America and the neces-
sity of food regulation and con-
troll. But he should have stopped

from the farmer to finance the
war;" and if Mr.. Townley does
not know it, he should. 1t is
merely playing upon vocational
prejudice, a mischievous and per-
Ahaps dangerous, undertaking.
1t Is the duty which the farm
er, as Mr.. Townley says, owes to
!, himself and the government to
produce the biggest possible crop.
But his duty does not end there.
He has the same duty of citizen

brother in the city factory or at
the city desk. Fortunately the
American farmer has indicated
his OBLIGATIONS of citizenship in
the past and may be depended

sinister influences, but not for

unstable pedestal as a public mar
tyr. He is made of better fiber
than that. -.- "a.

could draw their pistols Ravengar was
 in the cellar.
 They drew; but before they could
 aim and fire they saw Blanca standing l by the trapdoor, covering them with the shotgun.
 Hands up!' she called. They threw their hands up. Blanca
 sued the baffling mystery of feminine psychology. Instead of disarming them, Blanca dashed down into the cellar. As l she ran a bullet from Joe's revolver pierced her gown.
 Crouching on either side of the trap door, the men fired, with the hope of wounding Ravengar by random shots. A spray of shot came up in return,
 spattering upon the wall. The two
 drew back and considered.
 "We got to finish them-both of 'em," growled Joe's companion. Were done now, so far as Bianca's concerned. See this trick, JoeT' He picked up a piece of board and,

 which dropped from the crooks hand. AS it revealed the hand, two answer ing shots came from the crooks re- volver. Aimed along the line taken by the pellets from below, it was difficult for the weapon to miss. Ravengar,
 wounded again, dropped to the cellar floor.
 The men above heard the thud, and
 rushed toward the trapdoor in exulta-
 ton. An instant later the shotgun spoke again. Joe yelled as half a dozen
 pellets caught him in the leg. The two men beat hurried retreat 1; but in that second they had caught sight of Blanca, standing like a lioness
 at bay above the body of Ravengar. They drew off, Joe limping painfully and cursing hard. He slammed the
 cover down and looked at his com
 panion. "We've got one of them,' he
 said. We've got to get her too" Suddenly he uttered an exclamation
 and pointed to one of the shelves. Upon 1t lay stick of dynamite, all ready set with fuse. He pulled down the stick and begq4 | winding the fuse about jt( it cYf11

opened the cover hastily with the other and flung the fuse down the hatchWay. Madly the two ran from the shack as fast as they could go.
 
 The second shot had strl.sk Raven gar in the forehead, inficting q scalp wound, but glancing off the bone. He was still alive, and breathing heavily. A gleam of light flooded the cellar as the hatch was raised Blanca grasped the shotgun and pointed to- ward the opening. But the lid fell down before she could fire, and some thing same tumbiing down the steps.
 Blanca heard the outer door slam as the men hurriedly took their departure. She lifted the thing she held in her hand. It was hissing. She ran up to the top of the steps, pushing open the lid of the cellar with her free hand
 Ii was a stick of dynamite, and the fuse was nearly burned down.
 She hurried toward the door, tug ging at the fuse.
 She raised the stick of dynamite on high to fling it from her.
 AS her hand went back to her shoul- der the explosion happened. The room was filled with smoke; the walls of the i cabin tottered, stood for a moment, and collapsed inwardly. Where had been the shack was only a heap of smoking ruins.
 From their hiding place the two con. federates watched with grim satisfac- ton.
 Lets beat it, Joe" said one of them
 His companion. without answering clutched him by the arm and pointed An automobile had emerged from among the trees and was standing be- side the ruined shack. Someone in it. q woman-was crying out and pointing toward them. The car approached.
 They darted through the trees. AS they ran they heard the car come whirling along the road and stop. Some body cried again--a man. The cry was the note of discovery. The chase was taken up. The two ran faster. Before them lay a patch of irregular, rocky country, in which it seemed freedom

She reached up her hand and took the key of the paddock from a tumbler. Leontine had failed to see it in her ex- citement. She went swiftly to the back door, unlocked the paddock, and indi cated to Leontine to go.
 Leontine looked at Blanca in amaze ment. She could not understand the motive which prompted this woman, who had been her and Ravengars bit terest enemy. However, she gathered her wits together and went swiftly out.
 Hurry up!" shouted Biancas man, Joe, from the inner room. 'We got to revive this guy and give him the third degree, and then finish him."
 Blanca came quietly back, carrying bottle which she had picked off the kitchen shelf.
 Blanca kneeled over Ravengar and applied the contents of the bottle to his forehead. It was white vinegar and it answered it's purpose effectively Ravengar stirred opened his eyes, and fixed them on Blanca.
 "Hush@ she whispered, laying her finger on her lips. Gan you under stand what 1 am saying to you? If so, make the least nod"
 Rayengar nodded
 Your only chance of life is to make dive for the cellar as soon as I open the trap door. Don't stir till then. You get my meaningF'
 Again Ravengar nodded.
 Blanca turned toward a closet which was in the room, as if with the inten- tion of getting something out of it. She hoped, in fact, to find an ax or some such weapon. But there wa. something in the closet better than an ax-and also worse. It was shotgun but it would require an appreciable moment to load it, and that was denied her.
 Holding the shotgun behind the door, Blanca leaned forward toward the eel lar door, reached it, and coolly opened it. At the same instant Ravengar, who had been watching her, gathered all his strength and leaped from the bed.
 His action was so quick and we'll devised that the two men were com pletely taken by surprise. Before they

might be found. Their pursuers were no longer near them, though they could still hear their cries.
 Creeping cautiously forward, Joe reconnoitered, and then beckoned to his companion to follow them.
 In front of them lay sort of tun- nel in the rocks. Within the mouth of the cave there should lie safety.
 
 Leontine fled down the trail. She hardly dared hope to find help in time. She had only gone a couple of hun dred yards when the sound of an ap- preaching automobile arrested her at tention. A moment later she saw the machine whizzing toward her, and, planting herself in front of it, called to the driver.
 The machine stopped. In it was a party of men, touring the woods. LeoH- tine hurried toward them.
 "Help,' she gasped, almost inartieu- lately.
 Yes. Where?"
 She pointed back along the trail 'There are band of crooks there, and they're going to commit murder" she cried
 She tried to get them to drive on, but the leader of the party shook his head. I'll drive you to the sheriff." he said. You can tell your tale there" He would not listen to Leontine's frantic appeals. They drove to the sheriff's offiee and in moment she was telling him her incoherent story. He hurried to the door. Put the machine about" he commanded.
 The auto, running at full speed, came into sight of the shack. Leontine saw Blanca run into the doorway, and her heart leaped joyfully. He was un- harmed then!
 The next instant rush of flame came from the hut, the roar of the ex- plosion followed it. The hut collapsed into heap of debris. Leontine jumped from her seat and ran to where Blanca had been. There was no trace of her. The Queen of the Underworld had met her fate.
 Leontine flung herself down upon the sill of the broken door and wept bitterly.N

ELEVENTH EPISODE
The Passing of Blanca.

Stumbling along the forest trail, Ray engar and Leontine pursued their way for what seemed an eternity of hours, Ravengar growing weaker and more weary as time went on. He leaned more and more heavily upon Leontine. But neither dared to stop, for they knew that their pursuers were close upon them.
 At last, just as Ravengar was ready to drop from weakness, they saw a small, abandoned hunting shack be- fore them They went in.
 It consisted of single room and a kitchen, with a small cellar for storing ice. Ravengar sank down on the wooden bed and lay there, half un- conscious from his wound.
 Leontine looked about her. The shack had been occupied at no distant date, and still contained the camping apparatus, including a shotgun and a pair of binoculars. She took the glasses and, going to the door, looked out
 Through the trees she could see the rocky hillside down which they had come in their first flight. And on the hillside, little black specks against the brown, she saw the forms of their pur- suers.
 Ravengar rose and came out to her.
 T must leave you here, Leontine," he said. '"The cloth must be recov- cred. Without that we are lost"
 He went back and took down the shotgun. In it were two unexploded cartridges. He handed it to Leontine.

"You will be safe with this," he said. Don't hesitate to use 1t. Wait for me here: shall come back to you."
 He went out of the door, and Leon tine, watching him with sinking heart, saw him disappear, carrying the glasses, among the trees.
 Presently he saw something that brought his heart into his mouth. It was the solitary figure os a man stand
