Of him fits we'll.
Born in F,rankfort-on- the
Main, Germany, in 1S47, Of
poor parents, hs received
very little early training for
the career he chose in later
life.
In 1865, he came to Amer

was as q bank clerk, but
ambition took him else
where, and he became a jun
ior partner in the brokerage
firm Of Bulge, Schiff & Co.
He prospered- Then he
went to Europe to learn
what America could not
teach him about ''big fin
ance."
Upon his return, in 1875,

There you have it.

I There is Mr.. Townley's eleventh hour
scheme to capitalize the patriotic senti-
ment of North Dakota.
He tried appealing to the disloyal ele-
ment, and it was such a disastrous failure
in Minnesota, that he has suddenly
switched, wrapped the flag about himself
and imported the Russian Bolshevik S
cry of "seize the land
He presented as a candidate for gov
ernor, Herr Won hndbergh, who was
showed under by storm Of patriotic bal
lots. Mr.. Townley, with his wellknown
mental agility, promptly grasped the fact
that stringent methods were needed in
North Dakota to prevent the same fate
overtaking his slate over here.
Hence the new American Bolsheviki
platform-'' Gland for the returned sol
diers.'
All right, let's begin by Selling Mr.
Townley's land. He hasn't any2 Well,
take Governor Frazier's farm next. He
has lot of untitled land on it. Give him
q fair" price for it, and turn it over to a
soldier. He objects? Well, then, he's a
"speculator, an enemy of the soldier, !"
a tool of the powers that prey on the
common people," an enemy Of democ-
racy."
But wait! The Forum has another
plan. Let s seize the idle millions in the
Nonpartisan league treasury and divide
them up among the returned soldiers.
Let's take over" the 800 flivvers used by
the noisy 800 lily-fngered Socialists Mr..
Townley has brought into North Dakota
with him, and give one to each soldier.
! Then let s take Mr.. Townley's chain stores
and divide them up among the returned
soldiers. Let's seize his newspapers, put
Them to some useful purpose and turn
! them into organs Of patriotism. That will
give each man flivver, part of a store,
an interest in newspaper, and perhaps a
few hundred dollars in cash. With that
he can start on a government claim
But speaking seriously, Mr.. Farmer and
Mr.. Taxpayer, what do you think Of the
latest Townley project Of 'seizing land?
tJust how safe is the property you have ac-
cumulated through years of hard work
and careful saving when such man is at
large preaching Bolshevism. You who
| have supported Townleyism half hearted
lily of late were given little jolt by his
latest scheme weren't you?
America has millions of acres of gov
ternment land yet untouched. Much of
lit is just as good land as any that is now
being cultivated, but it is remote from
railroads. Any plan that contemplates
giving returned soldiers the pick of this
land, or all of it, and making it available
ito them by building railroads, and assist
ing them to get established by government
loans to build barns and buy stock, will
have the approval of any right-minded
man. And Mr.. Townley is, several months
late in suggesting that scheme. 1t is all
ready being seriously considered by the
government.

The Divide County Journal comments on TIL
Socialist soft pedal" as follows
1.-THE Socialist national executive commit
tee has been meeting in Chicago, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer in recent issue, and
after a two-day conference issued mani
festo.'' Boiled down and expressed in
American language the substance of the
committees advice Is for the comrades" to
soft-pedal on their anti-war talk. 1t seems
that various local organizations have sought
a nationwide referendum ION the partys>
stand. The committee rejects the sug-
gestion, and its reasons illuminating.
Were such a referendum ordered, it Is
claimed, only one side Of the question could
be heard because anti-war advocates could
not express themselves without danger Of
going to prison. However, the committee
realizes that recent developments in con-
nection with the war have created new
situations toward which the party must
take stand, and also that the time is ripe
for positive and constructive program Of
action
"The Socialist soft pedal now will deceive
no one. It is the flimsiest kind Of disguise.
Dfsloyalty CARRIED in silence is an improve
ment over the usual blatant kind but it will
not pass for loyalty in any American COM
munity"

The Park River Herald discusses Governor
Frazier's I. w. w. proteges, as follows:
The trial Of the I. w. W. leaders at Chi
cago, charged with sedtion, is interesting
in that it brings out the fact that these I.
w. w. leaders, at least a great many of
them, were in sympathy with Germany and
the Kaiser shortly after we became involved
in the present war. Some Of them, it was
proven, made ringing declarations that the
Kaiser should rule America, while others had
suggested that American soldiers should
shoot their officers In the back and the
weapon to win the war for Germany would
be to burn grain fields and dynamite the mu-
milton factories. And these are the men
whom A. G. Townley favored and whom our
own governor, Lynn Frazier, favored and
protected last year. A fine bunch of friends
for the governor Of patriotic a state of
North Dakota to associate with.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted TO The Task OF Keep
ing Up With North Dakota Editors

The Mandan Pioneer discusses boycotts as fol-
lows:
It is rather amusing to notice just how
hard The Fargo Courier-New can squeal
because Of a supposed boycott that has been
placed on that paper. 1t is amusing for the
reason that the Nonpartisan leaders have
been advocating the boycott Of certain bsui-
ness institutions since the time the league
first got a foothold in North Dakota Verify
it makes all the difference in the world

Regarding the adoption Of the Republican party
by the Socialists, The Mountrail County Pro.
moter has the following comment:
After having spent years of labor and tons
and tons of literature in theif endeavors to
condemn and denounce the Republican party
it's members and it's leaders, the Socialists
Of this county now stand ready to throw
overheard their entire propaganda; to forget
all their grievances; to lay aside all their
pet theories and rainbow chasing, and accept
the doctrines Of the Republican party More
than that some Of the most rabid Of their
leaders are candidates for county Office and
the rest are falling in line by registering as
Republicans. We would heartily endorse
their action and welcome the prodigals If we
knew that It done on account of the
resolution adopted at the st. Louis conven-
ton or IL they admitted their error. But in
most cases, there has not been change of
heart. They still persist in clinging to their
rainbow chasing theories Inwardy they
still maintain that their propaganda is COR
rect. Why then, 50 they register as Repub-
ucans? There can be but one answer They
want office and they have discovered that
they could not produce sufficient proof to
convince enough voters that their Boshevik
doctrines were good and sound. Hence, in
their hungry madness for office, they were
time and again left in the rear Now they
seek to overcome this by camouflage, by reg
istering as Republicans, thereby seeking to
fool the voters. Will the voters stand for It?
Are they going to allow themselves to be
hoodwinked? Mr.. Voter, it is up to you.

The Harvey Journal puts it "up to the voters
as follows: ..
The voters will have an opportunity to de-
eide at the approaching primary election
whether Socialism Is to be permitted to con-
tinue it's masquerade under the cloak of
Republicanism, and to impose on the state
a rule Of despottsm as complete as any that
has ever existed, or whether there will be
selected a Republican ticket composed of
and last of the state itself, and not Of a
small clique Of politicians who have as
sumed the right to direct the affairs OF
the people according to their own notions
The people of the state are pretty well ac-
quainted with John Steen. They know him
to be a clean and independent man. They
know that II he is elected governor he will
be governor in fact as well as in name
They know that they need fear, in his case,
no such dismal disappointment as they have
experienced in the case OF the present titu-
lar governor.
And the people who are associated with
Steen on the ticket are likewise capable and
respectable in most cases well known, and
in every case thoroughly committed to the
policy of sane progress in the management
Of the affairs Of the state.
In the Second legislative district the Re-
publcans will have the opportunity to send
to the legislature a man OF broad knowledge
and tested ability. Mr.. HancIett is wen
is known everywhere as d man OF forcefuI
character and Independent Judgment. II he
goes to the legislature he will go as serv-
ant committed to no interest but that OF the
people and subject to no domination but
hts conviction OF the needs and desires Of
the people. No secret CAUCUS will tie the
hands or deliver the vote az MIR. Hanchett,

T F you go away to the shore
this summer you will need
one serge frock for the, cool
or stormy days. 1t is very dis
agreeable to be caught in the damp
fog in a thin organdie dress,
and the experienced traveller al
ways makes sure to tuck one
warm dress into her trunk for just
such emergencies. But II your
serge frock is a bit too old-fash-
Toned to wear. why not remodel 1t
into more up-to-date lines? This
can be done very economically at
home with little trouble.
II the dress has a full skirt dixie
last years fashion) It must first be
made narrow. Fit the seams in
carefully until the skirt measures
about yard and a half to two
yards at the bottom. Then inset
two bands Of dark blue taffeta into
the skirt, alternating them with
bands OF the serge. 1t is best to
haste the taffeta bands on the skirt
first and then cut out the material
underneath
A pretty girdle OF crushed silk
should be used at the top OF the
skirt, with sash ends hanging on
the left side. 4 bit Of embroidery
done in turkey red would be smart
on the sash ends, although this
could be omitted by women OF con-
servative taste.
The waist OF the frock should also
be made over. II II opens down the
back stitch II together and finish
the fold with a row OF black bone
buttons. The front might then be
cut open to the waistline, and filled
In with a tucked vest OF the silk.
A long roll collar OF the taffeta
completes the blouse. Embroidered
motifs done in the turkey red might
be worked on the silk vest to
brighten IL a bit
Another smart way to remodel
the blue serge frock is by adding a
pleated tunic OF taffeta and organs
die collar and cuffs. This is q
smart model for a slim girl.
First make the serge skirt quite
narrow, by taking In the side seams
and adjusting the length. Then add
-he pleated tunic Of blue taffeta,
having II reach about to the knees.
The pleattng may be done ~ AnN
