TOWNLEY''S LETTER
TO HIS ORGANIZERS

Below is II letter Of instructions sent
by A. G. Townley. president of the
National Nom Partisan league to his
lieutenants in the field:
Dear Brother:--
We are taking this occasion to call
your attention to the fact that the work
OF the league aud your work as a rep
resentative OF the league is the bust
ness of building farmers organiza-
ton to improve conditions for the
farmers and workers.
The purposes of the National Nom
Partisan league are definitely set forth
In the printed program you carry. You
are not authorized to advocate any
thing outside of the provisions of that
program, and the organization will not
be responsible for any measures you
may be led to support that are not
contained in the program. The food
gamblers, war profiteers, politicians,
and other enemies of the peoples cause,
are working overtime to frame the
league as unpatriotic, disloyal, and pro-
German. Their agents are ever on the
alert to lead league organizers into "a
trap.
not only not opposed to this war for
liberty and democracy, but will do all
In its power to help our government
bring the war to an early and success
ful conclusion. That does not mean
that we should not do all in our power
to aid the government in its purpose
to conscript war profits and swollen
incomes to pay the money cost of war.
Great good for all the world will come
out of the war IL we continue united.
The successful conclusion Of the war
will not only make all the world safe
for political democracy, but will secure
Il larger measure of industrial democ-
racy for the American people and JUS
ticc for the American people, is the
purpose of the league.
Please avoid all discussion of the war
so far as possible. Attend strictly to
the business of securing members by
advocating the principles of the league
program.
Fraternaliy yours,
National Non Partisan League.
by \. c. T"wnley. President.

A TALK WITH FRIENDS.

At the request of our friends
and fellow citizens, w. NJ. Cramcr
of Plains, and Il. a. Meyer, a
travelling lecturer for the Non
Partisan lcgauc, we print in an
other column, the letter OF in
structions from a. C. TOwnlcy.
president, to his organizers. Not
long ago we commented upon u
section of it, because we did not
think full publication worth the
space, but since Mcssrs. Cramcr
and Meyer think they We're dou-
blc-crosscd, we publish il in full.
We are strong for the square deal,
and we like to print the side of
the other fellow, even when he
insists that all people who dis
agree with him wear corporation
collars and draw salaries from
Wall street.
Having performed this duty, we
pause TO put a query to Mcssrs,
Gramer and Meyer.
II the Non-Partisan league and
lTownley are as patriotic as they
| say, why does Townlcy advise his
lorganizers TO avoid all discussion
| of the war? Why not talk for the
war and get ~evcrybody interest
ed in it?
If Townlcy's advice is good for
his workers, why is il not good
for all of us?
Will MIR. Meyer kindly tell us
whether he follows the advice OF
his boss? Or does he disobey in
structions and tell his fellow citi-
zcns where he stands on the war
and why? We want to know.
We rather enjoy the hammer
ing that we get from Meyer, even
when he is not polite. and we
hope he has not had the Disagree
able experience of Townley who
was barred from speaking by the
patriotic citizens of several Min
ncsota towns. because of his dis
loyal sentiments.

QUESTION OF PATRIOTISM.
Ruth Smith.

With munitions factories shutting
down for lack of fuel, and poor people
in New York City freezing to death.
arc we going to refuse to take any
action to save coal? / believe that
the schools should be closed for two
weeks this winter for two specific
reasons: There would be a. large
amount Of coal saved; it Is necessary
| that we, ASA nation, overcome our
selfishncss by patriotism.
Just now the pressing need of the
allies OF America is for coal. 1t is
Americas duty to provide this coal,
for there is no other country which
can. A way in which wo can do this
Is to close the schools Tor two weeks
in mid-wintcr. The minimum con-
sumption OF coal at tho Missoula
county high school is about TX tons
per day. while tho maximum Is five or
six tons. For the winter supply OF
coal. the cost averages about 800 per
ton. The amount used during the
winter by tho other schools in town
averages about the same in proportion
rs at the high school. There are eight
grade schools, the high school, business
, college, and the university, eleven
schools in all. which would be affected
by this plan. According to the pro-
posed plan. the schools would be
closed for two weeks, probably in jan
nary. at the end of the first semester
when the weather is the coolest and
the coal bill the largest. If the high
school were closed for two weeks, the
amount of coal saved would be some
what more than so tons or approxi-
mately $3.50. In all the schools. in
ending the university. there would be
| saved nearly $1,000 for these two
| weeks. IL all the schools in the United
States. or at least in those states
where cold weather prevails. were
| closed, what an exceedingly large
amount of coal would .e saved.
Nor, under tais plan. word tie In
dNtdual familr haze to burn more
coal than usual. Then compare the
| consumption of one half ton of coal.
| The average amount buried by a single
family III TWO weeks, w;sh the hbl tons
consumed by the schools In Missouia
in the same period of time: or carry
the comparison furti,.r tnd note how
| many countless millions OF tons would
be saved throughout the state and ma
ton. Is 1t not profitable to save this
coalr
| This plan of closing the schools may
seem inconycnient to us as individuals.
The boys say that there is no work
for them at this time Of year, while
the girls dislike to stay Mt home SO
long. What about Red Cross work ?
Why don't you boys and girls help
make the much needed bandages which

munitions in the factories. In a
word, there will be historical rec
ignition Of those who did not only
"stand and watt" as the poet says,
but worked that others might
fight.
When this record is finally
completed, there will be no single
class Of American working pa
triots more deserving Of high
place in the record than the ba-
kers. Beginning in July 1916, flour
started on a raise skyward, and
by June Is, 1917, had increased
two hundred and forty-nine per
cent. Meanwhile, bread prices
had touched the maximum of
fifty-five per cent above low
level. Flour advanced seventy
per cent before a slight raise was
made in the price Of bread and no
relief was sought by the bakers
| at all for two months, while
carrying this heavy increase Of
cost. In last October flour was
still one hundred and twenty
eight per cent above the standard
upon which the bakers had been
operating for many years. Not
only had flour increased, but
every other ingredient needed in
the making of bread, fuel, short
ening, sugar and labor.
The bakers have not been
profiteers; they have been pa
triots. They have felt the in
crease of the cost Of manufacture
more than any other class of men
engaged in any industry. In the
productiO nof the most necessary
Of food products for human sus-'
tenancc, they have kept the cost
to the public at figure that is
amazingly low when we think Of
the rise in prices of other COM
moditics. As body, they have
sacrificed millions which they
might have taken from the pub
lie, if they had followed the meth
cd OF those engaged in other in
dustries, and still not have been
termed profiteers at that. Some
day there will be adequate ap-
probation for their work in this
war.

o'clock. We were then turned loose,
for all day. We were divided into small
companies and taken to different homes
for dinner. We had boxing matches.

and evening. Some Of the older men OF
the town asked how many Of us would
like to go on a rabbit drive. About 30
Of us said we would like to go. They
lined up the automobiles across the fiat
and strung wire across the front Of
the cars and started out. / never knew
there were SO many rabbits alive. I
shot seven with 20 rifle. We got an

The smart touch Of winter also
reminds us that flair weather
comcth out from the NORTH" as we
are told in the book Of Job.
Il comes, not with a scowl, but
with q crisp smile that the sets
the blood tingling and sends a
glow to the check. The sight OF
Lolo's snow-capped peak, spark
ling in the brightness of a winter
sun, gives q thrill to the nerves
and gladness to the heart.
And, too, you have noticed the
effect on that fittest Of surviving
animals, man. The sharp hand OF
winter reaches him, and he leaps
with the shock. There is spring
to his. walk as he rushes TO his
Job. The quick chill, the bright
sun are like the charge of a bat
terry. His brain responds and the
work is rceled off, with giants
speed. He finds others like him.
The dynamo Of the community
has been gcared up over night
and everybody is doing things.
oh, yes, we like the first touch
Of winter. We will be honest,
though, and say that even winter
can be overdone and we might not
feel inspired to write of it, if we
had been overfed with zero tenn
peratures for weeks as have our
friends in the east. Winter is
like o new toy TO Missoulians.
