The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-07-26

That isn't a bad idea of Townleys-that the rich men of this country be
compelled to register their incomes and profer to the government all above
their actual needs. The argument that the young men in being compelled
to serve in the a give more than mere money is true, absolutely true.
To or a of thinking, Mr.. Townleyis proposal errs in but n respect;
in fixing the amount at $4,000 a year Us all necessary for the rich to live n.
Many of the rich men pay their cooks twice times that amount; rich society
women "a their social secretaries more than $4,000 a year, and have been
known to pay more than that for a poodle dog. To people accustome to
fling money about much as the poor throw slops to the pigs, Mr.. ToWnleys
set price of $4,000 a year is wholly inadequate. We would set 100000 a
ear az the minimum permissible, granting this sum-, that looks too stupen-
dous to most of u.s., W e fancy what would then be available 20 the govern

Door rich who have but 100000 a year, there are probably a million po-

Townley advocates CONSUMPTION of wealth, it is easy to fathom the deep
animosity he awakens in the hirelng press, owned by me- who would come
under the provisions of his proposal. It is easy to sew why the cheap hire

East Grand Forks Authorities at
Work on Alleged Liquor

Crookston, Mimi, Jan. 13-That
representatives of the Pinkerton De.
tective agency and spoilers" have
been working throughout the, county
for some time, at least two months,
rounding up alleged blindpiggers,
leaked out today. The Polk county
grand jury is now in session and the
alleged lid fitting" is being investi'

With the issuing OF bench warrants
and the return of indictments, prob
ably numbering over one hundred, the
campaign to eliminate the unlawful
sale of intoxicating liquors is. rapidly
reaching a crisis and will soon be
brought to a close. - .: z.z,:r" -, 80
Witnesses subpoenaed from every
section stood about the court house to-
day, impatiently awaiting their turn
to take the witness stand. Many jour.

Every time they started out to get
him freed about something, he just
played tag with them for while
and then loped away and left them
behind him like jack rabbit scoot-

You could no more get a direct an

He also knows that the best way to
make some men mad is to keep on
talking while they are talking, and he
can do that better than anybody. "N1r.

poor Mr.. Henry, in vain attempt to
make some impression on the witness.

way of character comedy, he couiC
make any other actor look like q
piker
The caucus room, which is nODOdy's
boudoir or cosy corner, was TANNED
people standing on chairs, all eyes
fixed on him, breathless attention and
all that, the committee glaring at him
and firing the questions like ma
chine gun, and he sat there and play
ed horse with them all and never
showed the least concern nor the
slightest excitement except when he
) manufactured it for his own purposes.
Whenever he seemed to be getting
mad it was evident a moment later
that he was merely play acting again.
When he got off one of his jokes he
never allowed the ghost of a smile to
appear on his face; it was only by
closest watching that you could see
a twinkle of his little eyes under the
dense thickets Of his eyebrows.
When he was making his statement
to the committee he stood with his
face little lifted and he would rise
at regular intervals on his toes exact
ly like an elder at a prayer meeting
Like the elder, also. he would from
time to time raise his eyebrows and
drop his voice. Only those that know
him we'll saw that he was having a
bully old time, guying those eleven
members of congress and making
them look like simple comc-Ons.
In the midst OF which pious per-
Torrance he would occasionally
glance over to the spectators seats
where sat an old newspaperman that
he used to know very we'll and then
just a suggestion of a gratified sense
Of humor would appear around his
eyes. w.
But you couldn't say at any time
that his face changed. 1t was all the
time like a fine mask, and the color
in it never varied by a shade. Even
when the committee was about to
have him committed for contempt he
appeared like a person only remotely
interested. He" leaned back in his
chair, and, with an air of patient res
iSnation, studied the ceiling like one
much bored, and waiting for the COM
mittee to become interesting again.
When he pounded on the table ana,
declared he didn't give damn"
what the committee did or said; it was
perfectly palpable that he didn't mean
it, and his apology the next minute
was contrived to be equally insincere,
although nobody could take any eX-
ception to it.
lie sat so that the majority OF the
spectators had clear view of his
remarkably long head, overhanging
brow, fighting jaw and big neck. His
head seems to have developed chiefly
backwards; there is more of it to the
rear of his ears than a man ought
to have, SO much of it that he seemed
to have lump or protuberancc be-
meath the spot where the back OF his
hat rim would rest. He has dark hair,
growing now pretty thin, but curious
ly curled into two fiat hooks on either
side OF his forehead; moustachc that
has gone quite gray since he wrote
"Frenzied Finance" and little, steady,
glinting and cold gray eyes.
His voice is just right for the kind
Of guying comedy that he plays best
