Nj. Townley said to the Senate COM
mittee that Lindbergh was not a Non-.
partisan leader, that he did not agree
with him when expressions were read
from Lindbergh's book, (which were dis.
tinctly disloyal) but that Llndbergh was
being supported by the Nonpartisan!
party in his candidacy for the Republi-
can nomination for governor. That is
to say, that the Nonpartisan party Of
Minnesota were knowingly supporting a
man for governor they acknowledge
to be disloyal to the United States. The
constitution says that ''giving aid and
comfort to the enemy is treason" But.
the man who gives the 'comfort and
aid" by that act becomes traitor. And
he who gives aid and comfort to traitor
is himself traitor. There is no getting
away from such conclusion The only
excuse for the latter class is ignorance.
You can't be loyal yourself if you sup
port ,disloyal man for public Office.
Straning at . gnat and swallowing a
camel is the political condition of the
great majority of Nonpattisans at
present. The little objects close to the
eye hide the great dangers little
farther away.
Did you ever visit the greatest manu-.
featuring plant of the world? Where is
itY Why right out in your yard. There
is more work gong on just under the
surface than IN any factory on top of the
earth. But, unlike our factories which
resound with the noise of hammers and
the whirr of machinery, no sound comes
from the sub.soll workshop. And yet
pound for pound in power, in horse
power, in lifting dead weight, no human
machine shop or all factories together
can compare. Consider the growing
bean that pushes its broad blunt end
upwards through the clods, actually
lifting the soil for considerable height
above the regular surface. Multiply the
power exerted by the growing bean by
the number of beans in the long row
and marvel at the product. And wonder
lat the skill with which it pushes through
without injury to itself. If you do not
wonder, then take beanstalk and try
to do that same little simple thing, then
you will wonder how the bean does it.
But the bean is just one example, one
thing of the millions of growing plants
that are also pushing, pushing. daily
and nightly upward through the tough
soil. How many pounds pressure would
an acre of grass be pressing at any hour
of the day during the last month";
Somebody says that it takes two barrels
OF water to supply box-elder shade
tree per day. If you had to carry the
'water in pail every day, you would
think it quite chore. But because
nature makes no noise we hardly think
of her tremendous forces, her tremendous
daily jobs going on at our very feet.
The gardner and the farmer come in at
night wiping the sweat from their brows
thinking Of what big days work they
have accomplished, but Mother Nature
only laughs at their puny efforts. Con-
slider the lily how it grows.
The submarine cannot long remain in
deep water. So long as it is IN deep
water it cannot rest; it must keep in
motion, and in motion there is,expendi-
ture of fuel, etc. To rest, the U.boat
must seek the bottom on which to lie.
and the depth may not be over three
hundred feet, otherwise the water
pressure would be sufficient to crush in |
the sides. The waters about Great
Britain are mostly just good depth forl
the resting places for anha. ,3 tx
