PRESIDENT TOwNLEY's ADDRESS


In commenting upon the address
given at the Lavering last Thursday
afternoon by A. c. Townley in the
interest of the Non-Partisan League,
of which he is the president, the first
impulse is freely to acknowledge the
unusual ability of the speaker in a
campaign appeal of this character
For two full hours he kept the large
audience hanging on his words, which
were all the time entertaining, vigor-
Gus and effective.
Remembering that Senator LaFol-
lette is even now under discipline in
the senate of the United States for
words used in an address before the
national convention or assembly of
the Non-Partisan League at st. Paul
some months since and alleged to
have been disloyal and seditious, the
second thought of every listener to
Mr.. Townley doubtless went in the
direction of patriotism. The TIMES.
however. can freely declare, and it
does so with pleasure and satisfac-
ton, that, so far as what was here
said, the speaker came clean"
ganization of such men as composed
his audience last Thursday could be
a disloyal one, and he was cheered
to the echo when he said, Let us
stick together until we win this war
I'VE will win this war for liberty and
democracy" I'VE have given our sons
and our brothers, and our country has
the right to demand them of us-and
our money as we'll"
The next thought with regard to
the address compels the admission
that, as therein stated, the general
aims and purposes of the organization
which he is championing, namely, "to
accomplish better government" are
not only commendable, but are pre-
cisely what is the declared purpose of
every party or association of men that
strives for political recognition Fur
Their than this, the new statutory pro-
visions especially aimed at. such as
protection from unfair combine rules
and methods on the part of buyers oc
grain and other farm products to the
detriment of the producers, deserved
the favor with which they were re
ceived by that intelligent audience.
Upon the other hand. it is a safe
general proposition that any propa-
ganda for the purpose of organizing
for political activity any single class
of the citizenship of our common
country is thereby put upon the de-
fensive. This for the reason that it
is undemocratic so to do-that in free
America class legislation is uncon-
stitutional, class privileges are con-
demned and class anything, as such,
is hateful and offensive. 1t is true
that Mr. Townley always cleverly
spoke of "the farmers and Others"
1.-The farmers and all the people,"
1.-The farmers and all others in the
state of Idaho" as possible partici-
pants in the proposed movement; and
the very serious "class" objection may
not exist This viii depend entirely
upon the details and methods of or
ganization and effort as developed in
the future.
In an address upon such broad lines
and with so gracious purpose to all
the people. it was not quite palatable |
to have the outworn stock phrases Of
political agitators and

 In making public the governors proclamation, the Connecticut State Council of Defense paid tribute to the loyal response of Connecticut business men in all lines for their patriotic response to restrictions made necessary by the fuel crisis. The original proclamation by the govern or. issued January 25, 1918, called for the curtailment of business hours for Connecticut from January 29 to March 30. Those lines of business affected were retail business place, saloons. hotel bars, club bars, to- bacco shops, pharmacies, places of public entertainment, pool and bill Hard rooms, bowling alleys and bar Der shops
 The governors proclaim alton re- voking his previous order follows:
 Whereas, it appears that the fuel situation has for the past few days shown considerable improvement and apparently the crisis has been passed and
 Whereas, the patriotic co-opera- ton on the part of the citizens of Connecticut in observing tho regula- tions prescribed in my prcclamatica dated the twenty fifth day of Janu- ary 1918, has contributed greatly to- ward the relief of the fuel shortage;

NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN
FOR MORE COAL SAVING
10 Combine Electric Generating
Systems and Eliminate Hundreds
of Uneconomical Plants.

A nationwide campaign for further
coal saving is 70 be attempted by the
Emitted States Fuel Administration
through the combination Of electric
generating systems and the eIiminat ton
ef hundreds of isolated and uneconom-
teal plants. Representatives of the
fuel administration now are in New
York to attend hearings before the
public service commission there, at
which the subject viii be taken up as
affecting New York city.
The hearings in New York were ar
ranged after Albert II. Wiggin, fuel
administrator for New York state, had
called the attention of some fifty iso-
lated generating stations in New York
city to the advisa bility Of turning over
heir business TO the large centrsr
plants
Millions of tons of coal would be
by GENERALIZATION. The PLAN too if eX-
ecuted, they say. would go far toward
relieving terminal congestion and
tightening the loads carried by rail and
barge lines.
The fuel administration is conduct
ing general investigation to deter
mine how Capitalization best could be
accomplished without working undue
hardships on the owners of plants
which might be closed.
Capitalization of heating systems in
eities also will be studied by the fuel
administration

Offering Shows Slump. i.

As for the free-wfll Offering through
which Washington expressed its esteem
for Mr.. Sunday and its appreciation Of
his work, Washington rather Slumped.
Financial conditions in wartime WASH
ington are unusual. and comparisons.
therefore, are perhaps not only odious.
but unfair. But be that as IT may. il
may be stated that the similar Offering
of Kansas City was $4,000; that of
Los Angeles was $1,000: Buffalo. s42.-
600. Trenton, So, 600: Wheeling, $1,000.
and Columbus $50, 600. Boston. it may
be added, gave $4,000 and New York
$4,000.
The Capital city gave Billy about a
dollar q head for the new and reconse-
Grated converts made by him and labeled
as such by the handclasp. This is the
smallest sum ever given by any city of
this size. Pledge cards still out may swell
il little. but not much, il Il estimated.
About q hundred thousand people
heard Billy preach since last Tuesday,
when collections toward the personal glit
first began. Their average contribution
to this gift was about l6 cents. Out
of the whole sum, which was presented
last night in check form by John {.

committee, Billy will pay one-third OF
the salaries of the workers on his per-
