fall more heavily on one class than
another, who make statements which
in some way or another will lengthen
the conflict by creating dissatisfaction
at home and thus indirectly cause
the death of additional thousands,
If not millions, of our fellow citizens
on European battlefelds.
We all agree that war profiteers
should be dealt with as drastically as
1t is possible to deal with them. But
it cannot be said that this is rich
mans war, for those who have gained
most from it would have made great
er profits IL the United States had
not entered it.. l hold no brief for
any class, but to make the farmers
or laboring men believe their sons
are Disseminated against In this war,
as implied in your statement Of prin-
ciples, is reasonable conduct, for
the rich mans sons are conscripted
|proportionately to greater extent
than some of the farmers and labor
ers.
Your leaders are continually at
lacking what you term "big bust
ness" Personally ! am as strongly
opposed as anyone to what is known
as government by big business. l
would be equally opposed to gov
eminent by any particular Industrial
class. The public official who would
allow himself to be controlled by
the self-appointed guardians of some
element Of society would thereby
render himself unfit to hold public
Office. If /, as governor Of this
state, would permit myself to be put
in a position where could be COM
PEELED to cater to any particular set
of men, / could not be fair to organ
lied or unorganized labor, to far
mers' organizations, to big business
or to little business.
Knowing, as do, the political am
billions of your organization and the
false charges that some of Its leaders
and agents have made through your
official newspapers against honest
and patriotic public officials, l can
not believe that back Of the invitation
you have sent me is any sincerity Of
purpose. The failure on the part Of
anyone to turn over the state gov
eminent to those Of your officers who
have assumed the organization Of the
alleged Nonpartisan league and the
control of the millions of dollars
collected from its members, will un-
doubtedly create opposition, but 1
know that such men, pretending to
be friends of some particular class
and deceiving some well-intentioned
people, cannot long continue their
policy of deception, for the patriotic
farmers in the country and the loyal
laboring men in the city know that
their true friends are among those
who strive for the maintenance of
law, order and Justice, especially in
this, the most serious hour Of our
history, for that unity Of the Ameri-
can people essential to the successful
termination Of the war. Very truly
your,
J. A. A. BURNQUIST.

Arthur lie Suer, executive secre-
tary, the National Nonpartisan lea
que, st. Paul, Mimi:
Dear Sir-Your invitation to adj
dress the Nonpartisan campaign
rally is declined by me for the fol-
lowing reasons:
The name of your league implies
that it is non-partisan, but in fact
there is no organization more parti-
san. At this time, when other politi-
cal parties are trying to put aside,
for the good of the country, any fac
tional spirit that might exist, your
organization is doing everything
within its power to increase it.
At the time of our entrance into
the European conflict your organizers
condemned our government for en-
tering the war. When 1t became ap-
parent that this course would result
in disaster for their organization,
they changed their course and made
an eleventh-hOur claim to pure loyal
ty, but, Notwithstanding this claim,
the National Nonpartisan league is
q party of discomfort. 1t has drawn
to IL the pro-German element of our
state. Its leaders have been closely
connected with the lawless I. w. w.
and with the Red Socialists, pacifists
and peace advocates, whose doctrines
are Of benefit to Germany, are among
their numbers.
Those in charge Of the league have
catered to that faction Of labor which
has violated the law and been OPP
posed to compliance with just orders
of duly constituted authority.
You, who sign yourself as the OK.
ecutive secretary Of the league, were
connected with the Peoples Peace
council, which through my proclama-
tion of August 20, 1917, was barred
from holding meetings in this state
and thereafter in Wisconsin and Hi.
nois, but which was invited to North
Dakota by its governor, who was
elected through the efforts Of your
league. The cheering and the ap'
plauding Of the unpatri0tic utter.
ances of Senator La Toilette at yOul
last convention put a stamp Of dis
loyalty on it that can never be erased
Your present publicity agent lost
the position he held at that time
because he supported La Follette'i
unpatriOtic ideas, and after his dis
charge by his employer he was EN-
ployed by your NonpOrtisan league
Another Of your leaders, JOSEPH
Gilbert, called a director and mana
ger, I believe, has been convicted b.
a jury because Of his disloyal ut
terances. He, together with Mr.
Manahan, an attorney Of your or
ganization, ALPHABETICALLY used 9
strike situation here to advance thu
political interests Of the league.
These two men have maliciously
slandered public spirited members o.
the public safety commission, in al
attempt to bring together the far
mers and wage earners for the poll
tical purposes of your political par
'ty's self-constituted leaders, who art

Startling Tragedy In Hagerstown.

A highly sensational tragedy occurred
in Hagerstown last Saturday night shortly
after 8 O'Clock, when Max A. Boyer,
member OF the firm OF Boyer & Heard,
coal and grain dealers, shot and killed
Theodore Wade, who was found in the
Boyer home under suspicious cir
cumstances. Mr.. Boyer, who is highly
regarded business man OF character and
standing, went 10 his home about 8
o'clock in the evening. He founl Miss
Helen Dunn, a niece OF his wife, in the
sitting room. He asked where his wife
was, and Miss Dunn said she was in the
bath room. A few minutes later his wife
ade her appearance. Her manner and
the nervousness of Miss Dunn caused
Mr.. Boyer to believe that something was
wrong, and he started to investigate. He
got a revolver and went upstairs 10 his
wife's bedroom. Here he found Wade
hiding in closet. AS the man emerged
Mr. Boyer opened fire on him, and as
Wade advanced Mr. Boyer backed down
the stairway, still firing at the intruder
above. Presently Wade fell down the
stairway, dying as he reached the bottom.
One OF the bullets had passed through the
lower part OF the heart and inflicted a
fatal wound. A passing policeman heard
the disturbance and wenl in the house,
and Mr.. Boyer gave himself up TO the
officer. He was taken to jail and put in
custody OF the sheriff.
Wade, the slain man, was II years old.
He was from the PEN Mar section, and
had been employed as train man on the
Western Maryland Railroad and later in
a Logging factory in Hagerstown. II is
said mat Boyer had found Wade in his
kitchen several months ago and at that
time warned him TO leave the place and
never return.
Mrs. Boyer and Miss Dunn had moth
to say about the matter, though il is said
Mrs. Boyer was calm in her demeanor
while the tragedy was being enacted.
Before her marriage she was Miss Nellie
| SWartz, OF Hagerstown. daughter OF the
late John D. Swartz.

A Record.Breaking Winter.

Not as matter of present information,
but in order 10 make record that may
( be read by future generations, the Reg
! lister again reports on the very unusual
weather conditions that have prevailed
in this section. The weather continued
quite cold the latter part OF last week.
Sunday night cold wave sneaked down
from the north without warning. and folks
awoke Monday morning shiverng. TO
find that the thermometers ranged from
to s degrees below zero in various
parts OF the town: Although il was not
the coolest morning OF the winter, it
seemed so, for the air was really bitter.
There were all the signs OF real winter
weather. rhe wagon wheels whlned
and sang and screeched as they reluct-
antly bore down upon the snowy streets;
the town pumps were frozen up; when
a-bcdy breathed fog issued from mouth
and nostrils; horses looked like steam
engines under full head OF steam men s
whiskers changed 10 icycles lazy folks
stepped as briskly as the most Industrious;
noses were red and cheeks were rosy /;
the water in the milk froze; the trains
were all late; and the town clock froze
up.
Monday night the thermometer rose a
bit, and weatherwiSe folks noted that the
moon and the stars looked suspiciously
haZy. Sure enough, when We awoke
Tuesday morning the snow was falling
steadily again, and kept up until about
noon, when there was about six inches
more added 10 the liberal supply which
had covered the earth since December
9Th. The clouds broke away at noon,
and the afternoon was pleasantly spent
in shovelng the snow from the sidewalks
and making the piles at the edge OF the
pavement considerably higher.
We are all wondering what will hap
pen if there should come a thaw or a
rain. The Potomac river is ice bound
as never before The ice is from II TO
Punches thick, it is reported-we haven't
made personal investigation OF the
matter-and as il is thus frozen from IFS
sources in the mountains to tdewater al
Washington there is chance that we
may have a considerable spectacle when
n hTPakS III In iS said that teams are
crossing on the ice in the neighborhood
OF Knots quarrieS, and up the river II is
solid enough TO bear almost any weight
that can be placed upon II. There are
millions OF tons OF tine, clear ice that
next summer we will wish had been
stored away for our use.
