was too hard. And l want to say.
again that these organizers who orr
ganize the farmers in a national or
ganization to enable them to keep
their boys and girls on the farm, these
organizers are doing a thing that must
be done or this country will go to the
dogs.
Just word more The war will
be over pretty soon Shortly, we
hope. Even under this handicap we
are going to win this war for liberty
and democracy. We are going to SEQ
to it that in as full a measure as pos
sible 1t is a war for liberty and de-
mocracy. We are playing today our
part, though they may not play theirs
We are making the sacrifice. We will
continue to make the sacrifice; our
brothers, our sons. We have freely
given them to this nation for world
liberty and democracy"
The speaker said President Wilson
called not the old, who had little life
but the young who had much, to serve
and when the war was over as many
as were left, with as much of their
lives and bodies as they had left
would return. He closed as follows:
But it is not only life that is re-
quired to win the war 1t requires
munitions, bread, blankets, all the ire
mendous paraphernalia of war, bill
lions and billions of dollars it re-
quires to win the war. If this war
continues three years, two years more,
it will require perhaps fifty billions
of dollars to win the war. But l say
to you that as l see it and as l be-
lieve it. if it is right for our govern
ment. and it is just for the govern
ment to come for that life and say to
them when the war is over, we will
give back to you as much of your life
as is left and no more, it is also by
the same ruling right for the govern
ment to go and say to those who have
money, you who have money, much
money, fifty thousand, a hundred
thousand, five hundred thousand, a
million, two million, four million, you
who have money, you who have ac-
cumulated wealth. as these mothers
and fathers have accumulated life in
their children, so you who have ac-
cumulated wealth and have a sur
plus of wealth, you who are best fit
ted to give wealth needed to win this
war, you must give that wealth. And
when the war is over we will give
back to you as we give back to them
of their lives, just so much of your
wealth as is left, and no more. l
thank you"
Following the meeting, after short
talk by Mr.. McKaig, regarding al
legged misrepresentation by a local
newspaper, a resolution was unani-
mously passed denouncing as lie the
statement that the Non-Partisan
League was unpatriotic. The address

the government, cry out to you that l
am pro-German; that this organiza-
ton is disloyal; that it is dangerous;
that this is no time to agitate. When
shall we agitate? After they have
stolen everything we have? That is
when they would have us agitate II
you leave 1t to them to tell you when
you might protest, you never would
protest, / say that patriotism IS bas-
ed upon sacrifice. While these men,
these men whom President Wilson
terms beasts of prey, while they take
millions and millions and billions of
dollars from the pockets and the lives
of these American people and their
allies, they call us, with the American
flag wrapped around their bodies aad
their pockets bullying with stolen prof
its, they label us pro-German.
"Ah, ladies and gentlemen, this CT
der, this. order to label this orgariza-
ton pro-German and disloyal, this or
der comes from headquarters in New
York and is carried out in the office
of the local Representatives Of big
business, whether they know it or not,
and whether it be in the office OF the
weekly CD or some politician in this
community. l want to say to you that
in this nation today are no moro pa
triotic people and never was a mere
patriotic people than the farmers of
this nation. 1 want to say something
more, that while the lawyers are or
ganized to protect their profession,
they have organized to make it more
efficient Dentists have organized TO
protect their profession and are so
organized that they make their pro-
fession more efficient, so that they
can take better care of the health of
the people Merchants have organic
ed to make their business more eff
ficient. Laborers are organized to
make labor more efficient, and l want
to say to you that this organization
of farmers is to make farming more
efficient In this day and age, in this
world of ours where the success of
our battle for world liberty and d.
mocracy depends first of all upon The
farms, organization of the farmers
which makes farming more efficient
is the most patriotic thing that can
be done. These organizers come out
here to get the farmers together so
that you may feed and clothe the
boys and girls you raise, so that you
can make farming profitable enough
so that they will stay upon the farm.
Those organizers are doing the NOS I
patriotic duty. Do you know that in
the last 25 years the percentage of
people who are on the farm has now
dwindled from As per cent to 81 per
cent. 25 years ago As per cent of all
the people in the United States were
on the farm. Today 81 per cent, that
is. 81 out of every hundred people are
on the farm. Why, l asked crowd
in the train yesterday, why? And ev-
cry one of them said, 1 was on the
farm but I went away because 1 could
not make a decent living there. II

REPUBL lCANS DEMAND AUDIT.
Think People Should Have Check on
Billions They Have Given.

Last year Congress appropriated
more money to be expended In war
contracts than any other nation en-
gagged in war. The estimates for the
appropriations during the current year
are approximately $4,000, 100000.
Twice during the past year the
Republicans in Congress attempted
to have a congressional committee
created for the purpose Of supervising
and auditing war contract expendl-
lures. Even Democratic members adj
NIT there is great waste and extrava-
gance - and even graft in the ex-
expenditure Of such vast sums. But
the Democrats refuse to agree to any
auditing or supervising committee.
Twice they have defeated such pro-
posals.
Congressman Tess, chairman Of the
Republican Congressional Committee,
says he cannot understand the "sensi-
tiveness" of the Democratic Congress
whenever the proposition is made to
have an audit of the public's money.
He says the Republicans will. If they
control the next Congress, create such
an auditing committee. The people
have willingly supplied the billions.
They are entitled to know how 1t l.

The course of true love always does run smooth

even tho both mariners want to steer at the same
time both will want to steer in the same channel And
they avoid disaster just long each considers the
others opinions and respects the others rights.
1t is much the fashion lately to make new charts
for marriage. But these maps are often sketched
carelessly, perhaps malicousy by ancient mariners
who have sunk their own fair ships.
It is too much the fashion to discourage new adj
venturers in welded bliss to say there never was
City of Happiness, and to call the Honeymoon a
eaiy old tub But this is only the bitter criticism of
failure and jealousy. The best advice IN any business
comes from those who have succeeded not from those
who have failed.
Those who finally make the port of their dreams
agree that what Cupid's mariners need most for a
safe voyage is only a little compass called compro-
mise.

Tuesday night by supreme war council at Paris)

1t now is seeking to gain deci-
sion in Europe by series of des-
perate and costly assaults upon
the allied armies before the
United States can bring its full
strength effectively to bear.
The advantage it possesses in
its strategic position and supe-

the trials of the forthcoming
campaign with the same forti-

course bring him to defeat. Ev-
