At present there are approximate
~ 10000 doctors in the United
States, or one to every one thousand
of our inhabitants. Twenty thousand
have already been called to the col
ors and now there is call for six
thousand more. It is estimated that
there are 10000 out of the total Of
10000 who are eligible to be called
There is certain to be great scare
ity of doctors practicing among civ
ilians within short time.

McPeek, who shot and killed his
poor wife in cold blood in this city
four years ago, has been paroled. He
was lucky to escape the hangman's
moose at the time and he undoubtedly
considered himself very fortunate
that he received a sentence of but
twenty years. He must now be shak-
ing hands with himself over his sue
cess in inducing the board of par
dons to parole him. The Independent
remembers we'll the story of the kill
ing of poor Mrs. McPeek. The couple
had had some trouble and McPeek
went to the Shaw residence where
Mrs. McPeek was living, and not sue
ceeding in effecting reconciliation.
shot the defenseless woman down in
cold blood, then like the coward he
was, sneaked thru the back alleys to
the Jail, where he begged for protec-
ton. A man of his calibre has no
business running at large and the
board Of pardons certainly could not
have been correctly informed in his
case or he never would have been pa
rolled. The Governor and other mem
bers of the board Of pardons should
look into the case further. The In
dependent understands that John
Steff, the Ward county farmer, who
shot and killed his wife, after she
had shidden in a barrel, has either
been paroled or pardoned. He too got
off mighty easy, his sentence being
but ten years. The man should have
been retained in the penitentiary un-
til the very last day of his term. Be-
ing easy with murderers only encour-
ages crime. Perhaps the murder of
Officers Pat Devaney and Kersey

instance, and rather than suffer him.
self to be captured, he did not hest
tate to commit murder. Capital pun
ishment has been dispensed with in
North Dakota and since such is the
case, no murderer should be particu-
larly favored.

TRAITORS TO PARTY OR FLAG.
st. Paul Pioneer Press: Since a
few Socialists have talked themselves
into prison for disloyalty, a great
change has come over the rest. So
cialist Townley, with an Indictment
suspended above his head, overlooks
no bets when it comes to protesta-
tions of patriotism. Socialist Van
Lear, hoping for a second term as
mayor of Minneapolis, has placed an
eleventh-hour o. K. upon the war
aims Of the United States. The Ger
man-born Mr.. Emme, who believes he
has chance to be elected mayor of
this American city, greets Liberty
Bond statesmen with glad smile, and
protests himself the truest of Amer
leans. The sentiments which last
summer so aroused the citizens Of
Dale, Minnesota, that they made Mr..
Emme kiss the Stars and Stripes, are
conspicuous by their absence. They're
all Socialists, but they're all patriots

TOWNLEYISM.

a man from Beach called Town!ey,
Socialist and soap box orator, who
saw golden opportunity to organize
the farmers The situation was jus:
right for him to launch his program
and thousands enrolled under his
banner, hoping that conditions might
be improved. The farmers had with
out question been victims Of certain
injustices in the way of unfair mar
keting methods, which about that
time had been taken up by the So
ciety Of Equity. The Independent IA
vored the Society Of Equity and often
in our columns we have stated that
we were for anything that would be
of benefit to the farmers and we want
to say emphatically right here that
we want to repeat that statement,
but we are not in favor Of the manner
in which Mr.. Townley is endeavoring
to carry out his program. We be-
lieve in the sincerity of the rank and
file of the members of the Nonparti-
san league. We want to see you
farmers succeed and will do every
thing that we can to help you to sue
coed. The Independent does not be-
lieve that you are doing the proper
thing for yourselves and to the rest
Of the people of our great state in
following this dangerous leader blind
ly. There are number of excellent
reasons why Townley should be drop
ped like hot brick. In the first place
we would not want to cite to" a man
of his calibre if the disloyal remarks
which he is charged with making are
true, and we have not been informed
that he has been able to refute those
charges We know that there is no
disloyalty among the rank and file
Of the league but our mind is quite
clear as to Mr. Townley's attitude.
We should not care to enlist under
the banner of leader who has taken
it upon himself to place unlimited
power in his own hands We believe
that the United Consumers Store
scheme which has placed hundreds of
thousands of dollars in Mr.. Townley's
own hands, is going to be his undoing.
We believe that a man who advocates
the passage Of such a measure as
House Bill "A is not a safe man for
leader.
In conclusion, we want to say that
we don't believe in heaping abuse on
the farmers who have Joined the
league. You perhaps had good rea-
son to believe that the league was go
ing to do much for you The hide
pendent believes in farmers organiz-
ations the same as newspapermen's
organizations and labor organizations,
and as we stated before, we're with
you on any program that will prove
of benefit to you. The leaders so far
have done little or no good for the
cause of you farmers. We are even
told that they have taken many
thousands of dollars raised by North
Dakota farmers to organize farmers
of other states. We believe the men,
bers Of the league are making a mis-
take in retaining a leader of Mr..
Townley's stamp. We are told that
they have the power of choosing any
leader they desire. Why not adopt
program That is safe, one which
will in no W; Y injure any class of le-
Ultimate business in the state? I'm
less the league does this, it is as GER
tain to fail eventually as night follows
day.

Government and bound to this coun-
try, had been destroyed June 18, some
700 miles east of the Delaware capes,
and that sixty-seven members of the
crew were missing. There were no
troops aboard.
The troop ship apparently was not
under convoy. The submarine was not
seen until torpedo had struck the
ship. Afterward the submersible arose
to the surface and fired nineteen shots
into the sinking vessel. When the
steamer settled the crew took to the
boats, the occupants of four of which,
num5cfing eighty-one men, have been
landed. Three boats are missing and
search is being made for them
Far Off Coast
The fact that the British vessel was
sunk far off the coast led officials to
believe she either had encountered
home bound submarine that had been
operating in American waters or else
one that was bound here or further
raids on shippings.
The last sinkings reported off the
coast occurred some ninety miles cast
OF the Virginia capes, and it was ar
gued that in the four days elapsing
before the British transport was sent
down the submarine would have had
ample time to reach the position
where the troop ship was sunk.
Formerly Russian
The vessel destroyed was said to
have been the former Russian steamer
Dylnsk, but the navy was not permit
ted to make the name public under an
agreement with the British admiral
