The Truth Win Prevail.

Darlington Record: The Nonpartisan League
has been assailed from every angle except the
right angle and the right angle is it's program.
Acres Of papsr, oceans OF ink, thousands, OF
dollars and a multitudinous amount Of talk has
been spent to prove that the League is q dan
gerous thing. It is a dangerous thing-a very
dangerous thing to certain interests and to GER
tain individuals who have made and are making
a very comfortable living off the toll OF the
farmer, without giving adequate returns, and
wall and get a vision of the time when the
League will, thru collective action, free the
great army Of farmers from the present mar
keting system, that enables the few to control
the commodities the farmer sells and the COM
modities he buys. Having no ground where
with to attack the program or the principles Of
the League they have hoped to destroy it by
attacking Townley.
He who thinks he can destroy a principle by
prosecuting the individual is dense indeed. The
blood of the martyrs has been the seed of the
church., and every movement Of the past that
has stood for progress, every opposed move
ment that has outlived it's prosecutors and be-
come a part Of the progress of humanity, prov
es the point.
To destroy the League you must destroy the
principles upon which the League is founded.
Destroy Townley, if you will, the principle still
remains. Truth is embodied in a righteous
principle, and truth is a mighty weapon. Men
VIII COILIc duu LLl0u Will W OuL tIutn IelldkuS
forever.
Whatever of the program of the League is
founded on truth, and through the lips Of
Truth appeals for justice, rest assured that re-
CARELESS of Townley or any other man, it will
live and become a vital issue. And all the pow
er of entrenched capital with it's army Of po-
litical hirelings and it's dependent, interlocking
subjects will never stop the onward march Of
Truth.
The present war has demonstrated, as moth
ing else ever could, the futility of our present
economic system. A president with a clear
vision was quick to realize the dangers that be-
set our nation, from the power of Individuals
tic greed and Immediately upon the declaration
of war set about to s~ocialize such industries as
We're essential to the nations success.
It, l ask, it is incumbent upon our nation to
control production and transportation and dis
tribution in war time, is it not equally import
ant, for the good Of all, to control this service
in time of peace?
So, my friends, forget Townley. Townley is
but human. What ever is good, whether from
ioWnley or Jerry Bacon, we accept. Whatever
is harmful, we reject. Our eye is fixed upon the
eternal principle of truth and justice and men
are important only to the extent that they ex-
press the principles we have espoused If the
League is wrong, tell us, We wiseacres, before it
IS too late, whenever it may be wrong, but
bother US no more with your abuse of Townley.

G. Ingle and Teigen of the un-

G.. Ingle and Teigen Of the un-
lucky thirteen league went-to
the land Of Nowhere. I fail to
see what there is to expose about
the league or Townley. All the
promises Townley made to me or
any other farmer was that if we
would pay him $1,000 apiece he
would organize the farmers so
that they could carry the state
and elect farmers and laborers
to fill all our legislative offices
and get the laws and reforms
we had been asking the old gang
for, for 10! these many years,
and it looks to a man up a tree
as If Townley has kept his word
with q vengeance "a vengeance
on the old gang.) All the reli-
able people that are not in the
League won't lie about it so the
old gang have to get their dope
from a pretty low source, from
adventurers that have each been
kicked out Of a half dozen re-
spectacle professions.
Up in this part of the country
before the primaries, the cats
paws Of big biz, one Of two of
them, were so-called business
men started some campaign lies
about the League and some of
the candidates, but as the vote
shows every knock was q boost.
But after election when we drove
them into a corner, where they
faced q SANDER suit or an ex-
pose, they gave as their, author
ity for these lies an old fellow
who came here several years
ago, leaving q trail of unpaid
bills every place he had lived be-
fore, big bunch Of them in Polk
county, Wisconsin, and in order
to get hold of a quarter section
Of land that he now has mort
gagged for all it is worth, he mar
ried the woman who proved up
on it and married into q family
that our county took care of for
a couple of years, including two
or three Legitimate children
that one Of the women was the
mother Of and the county board
ed one Of the men folks in the
county Jail for q term for the
low crime Of bootlegging. And
q few months ago, In order to.
prove that all farmers were
crooked, those fellows would cite
this dopester as a sample; they
would tell us how he beat a
young doctor out Of his bill for
treating his family; Of how he
beat q good, honest old dealer
out Of q washing machine; Of
how he insured an old skate Of
q horse that afterwards got 8
nail in its foot and he let It die
Of starvation and neglect and one
week after it was dead he and 81
fake horse doctor signed q sworn
statement that it died Of collie
and he collected $125.OO insur-
ance on Il. Yet his word was
good with the gang to dope out
campaign stuff. With them it
blows hot, blows cold, bloWs any
way tor ma When the old fell
low was asked why he lied about
the League he said that he and

THE BOND OF LIBERTY.

The tie that binds the allies is exactly the
same as that which huddles together the cen
trail powers, says the st. Paul News.
Self-preservation.
But what united each array of nations was
decidedly something else.
On the side of the Huns, a dominant few
aimed to gulp Town all the remaining power
on this terraqueous sphere, which we'd daily
tread in dread if they did.
However, the morsel not only has proved un-
pleasant to the Prussian palate, but it's stuck
in kultur's gluttonous throat and is slowly chok-
ing the monster to death. r..
The bond that grappled together the allies
and in which they've since grappled together
with the Menace-was the Liberty bond.
The Liberty Bond of our allegiance across
seas will do it-but not without the Liberty
Bond at home.
The Fourth Liberty Bond issue will soon be
launched. Every Liberty Bond bought in
creases it's holders share in that corporation
called the United States government, to the full
face value Of the bond.
Every Liberty Bond we take here strength
ems the Liberty Bond which united us with
England, France, Belgium and Italy.
Be prepared to save money in a Liberty Bond
of the fourth issue.
Every bond bought will decrease the power
of the Prussian despots and increase the size
OF the morsel that's choking the monster of kul-
tur.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for . while if your Bladder
troubles you.

When you wake mp with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gem
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which oVerworks
the kidneys In their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have baekache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids In the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t Is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, efer
vescent Whitewater drink.

them, as every man should do who is
within the volunteer ages. He did not
want to stay at home and let some
