FOR HOME GUARD
SENTIMENT FOR GUARD GROW
ING-PLANS BEING MADE
AND FACTS GOTTEN.

Pains as of a home guard coming
into being at Madison are beginning
to affect the older male population.
without form either. Not only have
there many men shown e%agerness to
enlist, who by the fact that they are
either too old to give effectual serv-
ice in the armies on a foreign battle
field, or have other prohibitive re
sponsibilities, but men who have had
previous experience in bearing arms
and giving commands have expressed
their willingness to lend aid in the
formation and training of the unit.
In conversation with Capt. Jas.
Robertson this morning. Mr.. Robert
son said that there was a distinct and
sharp difference between the state
national guard and the home guard.
Just what the difference consists of
he could not say. except in the matter
of foreign duty-duty outside the
state. 1t is understood that the
home guard is for the protection only
of the citizens of the state from
among whom the individuals are en-
listed.
In the mater of arms it is also un-
derstood that the home guard is Civ
en- the Springfield rifle discarded
some time ago by the United States
army. For any purpose for which a
guard might be called this weapon
would be as good as the newer and
most costly weapon of the modern
army, ii is said.
This organization is not calculated
to be one for the fun for young fell
lows. but for stern duty. Young men
will be welcomed to it, but they, for
most part, if they desire drill and
military training will apply in other
The single idea of the organ
will be for the protection of
home from lawless home elements.
And they will enter into it with the
same -earnestness as they do the rails
ing of a loan or getting Red Cross
funds-or going to their desks or
benches every morning.
When the men enlisted in the
great army Of the state and country
are taken into camps under the selec-
tive draft. there will be no organized
force to stand against the threats of
mobs. No use in avoiding the name
of the mob meant. 1t is the feared
lawlessness of 1. w. w. hoTdes which
is held in dread. Much of the VIC
lence reported may be imaginary.

THE INVADERS"
HONE TALENT PLAY COMING
ING AND WELL GIVEN
FAIR AUDIENCES.

The home talent play. The Inyad-
ers," given under the auspices of the
St. katherine's guild of the Episcopal
church. was a pronounced success in
its two performances. The play was
given Thursday night at the audito-
rum of the chautauqua and last
night at the auditorium Of the high
school. Fair sized audiences greet
ed it at both appearances. The re-
suits are gratifying. netting the pro
moters a little ove $500.
That Madison has talent for dra-
matte Interpretation is proven by the
presentation of this strong war
drama. The whole four acts call for
many phases of emotion and strong
acton. With the small amount Of
practice and rehearsal given, and
considering the few times the actors
appeared in the piece, the story went
with snap and yerye. The story and
plot were good. and the action was
convincing and reasonable. II was
only in the last act. when the inter
est was great and the suspense at it's
heighth, one of the minor parts mo-
mentarily lost his lines. that the play
lost a portion Of its zip"
The story is of a suppotional en-
envy within striking distance OF
Washington. and the plot revolves
around a spy who is attempting TO
send such a message as will the
withdrawal of part of the defending
line, allowing the entrance Of the
foreign foe. The treatment of the
plot and the Interpretation of the
emotion is such as TO create the Gu
rious situation OF the foreign spy re
tanning the sympathy OF the audience
while the federal secret service man
Is held in the contempt and dislike
of the usual heavy villian-an I'M
usual turn in plot construction. A
semi-comic part. and a lighter and
heavier love story of convincing hu-
man interest threads throughout the
tale. and relieves the piece of any
impression of exceeding heaviness or
dullness.
The play has been given but twice.
The management is not yet decided
whether or not TO render ii i'm other
and surrounding towns. While that
part of ii is for them TO decide from
reasons which they know best, il
would seem almost a waste of effort
TO give to the thing so much work.
only TO be abandoned after two pre-
sensations.

COMPANY E DRILLS
COMPANY MUSTERED IN LATE
YESTERDAY-MEN GO TO
PALO ALTO, CAL.

Company f, as a whole unit. drill
ed or the parade at the Normal bar
racks this morning. Being able to
get home on an extra, which also con
scented to run a coach for their ac-
commodation, the Howard men re
turned home this forenoon. During
the short stay of the Howard men at
the barracks in Madison while the
physical examinations and mastering
was in progress, the Madison contin-
gent was designated as Division A"

for that initial letter.
The whole company. numbering
1853 men, were mustered into the
federal service last night. Advices
are TO the effect that the South Da-
kota regiments will mobilize at Palo
Alto, Cal, instead of at Deming. N.

A. E. TOWNLEY SPEAKS
GOT AUDIENCE UNDER FALSE
pRETENSES - DIDN'T TELL
ABOUT NON-PARTISANS.

1t is said by those who heard it.
that the lecture by A. C. Townley at
the Lyric theater last night was a
masterpiece OF yelled invective and
evasion of the real purpose of his
new party. Instead of explaining the
principles of the organization, he di-
crossed, and scored wars and finance
and business and everything con
forming to old established customs
of the country-not in direct words.
for the words written could not ex-
press the sorn with which he made
such utterances as We fight for lib
erty and democracy"
In opening his address Mr.. Town
ley deprecated his ability as an ora
tor, attempting to place himself on
the level and in accord with a sup
posed rural audience. In sarcasm
and indefinite terms he referred to
the men who fought for use i'm for
eign fields-but he did not define the
Non-Partisan league. He mentioned
at several times the SIG charge made
for membership in the league-but
didn't tell where the money went.
The league is called non-partisan.
The inferred meaning as gathered
from his bitter criticisms was to the
effect of intense partisanship. He
scored bitterly the war for capitalism
that brand which charlatans always
hurl among the ignorant and sus-
picious. He compared net earnings
of steel, packing and munitions and
powder at pre-war times with those
of Systematically unfair on ac-
count of the enormously increased
output of all these industries. All
business not operated in the way Of
the league was wrong-and the way
Of the league is socialistic, or none of
the hearers were in their normal
minds.
The agitators and organizers which
have thus far invaded this county
have met with success in getting
names only from a normally social
istic or irresponsible class, it is said.
In some instances, if the intended
member could not raise the requested
SIG. So was accepted. And in one of
these cases. when the newly made
member heard that a man whom the
farmers interested in a local elevator
fired for abject incompetency. was
now the leagues own grain inspector
for North Dakota-well, he lost hi
enthusiasm and bewailed the passing
of his beautiful IS.
Little progress for the league in
South Dakota is likely. Conditions
differ in the two states. There has
been no popular dissatisfaction IN
this state over the question of Min
nesota grain inspection. and there is
not the large socialist element here
that they have in North Dakota. And
there Is an inertia in South Dakota
politics at present, mostly because OF
the lack of any apparent dissatisfac-
ton among the agricultural men.

TOWNSHIP SCHOOL
CONSOLIDATE TOWNSHIP OR

MATTER DEFERRED.

Acting on a petition of the voters
in the congressional township OF
Pennington. the joint boards OF
Pennington. Leroy and Ramona me-
with the board of county commission
ers of Lake county, and the superin
tendent of schools, for the purpose
of perfecting plans for such %consoli-
dation of the school districts in that
township into a single district whose
boundaries would conform to those
OF the congressional township lines.
The area of the congressional
township of Pennington is partition
ed into the whole or parts of five
school districts, all of which have ir-
regular outlines and amounts of ter
ritory. The schools are said TO be so
i'll arranged as to be difficult of ae-
cess by many. 1t is in an effort 10
rectify all these undesirable features
that the petitions for consolidation
and the joint meeting of the boards
today was effected.
1t appears that the matter cannot
be done in the way the joint boards
undertook. The matter was thor
oughly discussed in the joint meet
ing. and Ii was left with the joint
board to work either a practical
method Of consolidation, or to build
a large centrally located school
building by joint action of the voters
and the joint boards of the districts
affected. II will be decided at a flu
ture meeting upon which alternative
they will proceed.

GUN PACKER DRAWS
A STIFF SENTENCE

Bill Rahas, q Greek, was arrested
at Ruth last Sunday by Under Sheriff
Van Newman and brought to Ely,
where he was lodged In the county
jail on q charge OF carrying q gun.
He was given trial in the JUS
tees court on Tuesday. A stren-
uous effort was made to free Rahas
OF the charge. According to the
story told, Rahas was engeged in a
card game with some of his coun-
trymen when a quarrel arose and
cne of the men struck Rahas in the
face. Then, according to the story
of the complaining witness. Rahas
attempted to draw gun.
A number of witnesses were
brought in who testified that they
saw all the trouble but did not see
any gun. Rahas testified that he
had no gun and his wife attempted
to corroborate his story by testify
ing that he only had one gun and
that was in the house all night. The
owner of the coffee house, however.
said that he took a gun to the Rahas
house on the morning after the
trouble, together with a hat, and
Mrs Rahas received them without
comment.
At the conclusion of the trial, the
justice said that after hearing all the
evidence he believed Rahas did have
a gun and imposed fine of 800.
In imposing sentence he left no
room for doubt in the minds of
those present that he had no SYM
pathy for gun packers and that fines
were going up until the practice was
entirely discontinued.
