Rudolph Lee in the Long P

Rudolph Lee in the Long Prairie,
(Minn.,) Leader, writes:
1t is surprising the number of far
mers who call at the Leader office to
thank the Leader for its stand against
the socialist invasion. Many of these
men have been members Of the Non
partisan league but who now say they
have left the organization. One OF
the farmers who was in the past week
gave as his reason for quitting the
league a reason which seems to US
ought to be considered by all citizens
who want to do the right thing in this
war. He said that in a general way
he favored state ownership of utili-
ties dealing with necessities and for
that reason he tied up to the league
when it's organizers first entered the
country. In the recent primary he said
he had followed orders from st. Paul
and had gone right down the line vot-
ing for every man whom he vas told
to vote for even though most Of them
he knew nothing about and had never
heard of. But he said that after cleo
ton the thing that bothered him was
that men in his community whom he
personally knew to be anti-American
had seemed to be particularly pro-
nounced in their support of the league
One man especially whom he person
ally knew to be opposed to and not in
sympathy with any sort Of radical po-
litical effort and therefore a man who
under ordinary circumstances would
have nothing to do with a political
party like the league had done more
talking for the league than most any
man, he said, had the reputation in the
community of being anti-American
and continuing, he said, "try as I
might I could not figure out a legiti-
mate reason why that man should be
supporting the league. It bothered
me. l talked it over with my wife
We sat down one evening after sup
per and checked over our neighborhood
and were surprised at the result. We
found that almost without a single ex-
ception the men in our community who
were regarded as either openly or Sc
cretly anti-American were friendly to
the league. 81 said to the wife,, he
continued, "that a political party that
suited those fellows was no party fol
me no matter what the program seem
ed to be. l began to look around and
compare notes with men I knew i1
other localities. I found that in nearly
every case where a man in a neighbor'
hood was regarded by his enighbors a:
being anti-American that the man wa.
almost sure to be a Lacquer. I tool

smooth and foxy to do anything openly
but they see the league as a party of
discomfort. They care not a rap
about it's program but they do see
that the stronger the league grows,
the better chance there is going to
be of having an agency to harass the
government-so they flock to the
league. The big thing for the Ameri-
can people to do now-in fact the only
thing for them to dds to win the
war. Besides that program all things
else are insignificant. 1t was the ap-
probation of this fact that prompted
the farmer referred to above to decide
to "quit for a while, as he termed it.
There is food for thought in his con-
clusion that if at this particular time
the Nonpartisan league looks good to
the known anti-Americans, that at this
particular time it is not the political
party he wants to help put in to pow
er.
After reading your paper today, sit
down and try out the experiment your
self. Don't let anybody tell you or
don't let anybody draw the conc]u-
sions for you. Check it up YOUR
SELF. You know your own neighbor-
hood-are the men of the neighbor-
hood whom you know or whom You
feel are anti-American flocking to the
league or are they not? WHY ARE
THEY DOING IT? If in this WAR
TIME those fellows want this new
political party in charge of the gov
eminent, to run the government, direct
it's policies and thus be the party to
settle with Germany AFTER the war,
is it the party for you to help put into
power?
The general anti-American crowd
throughout the country does not make
many mistakes about public men and
political parties. The subtle, secret
influence that works underground to
advise them and line them up KNOWS
what it is doing. If just an occas-
sional anti-Aemrican here and there
lined up with the league, the fact
would not necessarily be suspicious
but if it is discovered that this ELE-
MENT GENERALLY HAS FLOCK
ED TO THE LEAGUE, is not the cir
cumstance a matter of serious consid-
Grafton by loyal men? Remember
what Germany did to Russia by build
ing up a party of discomfort there. Re
member what happened to Italy last
year after the German agents had
spread discomfort and prejudice. No
tice what the same influence is doing
in Ireland today. Remember that it
has been proved that German secret
influence has been at work to stir up
the negroes in u south, the ship
builders on the coast, the workers in
the mines, mills and the factories.
THESE THINGS HAVE ALL BEEN
PROVED. The secret service of our
government has unearthed a plot
whereby the German government had
spent $30,O00,00O here for propaganda
purposes, buying up newspapers, BUT
i'm PARTICULAR TO ENCOURAGE

AN APPRECIATION.

Mrs. Anne Dantzler, nee Gholston,
was born in Georgia September 18th,
1929, and died in Macon, Miss, Febru-
airy 7th, 1918. She was reared in the
home of her grandmother, in an atmos-
phere of christian refinement, having
the advantages of the best schools of
her day. Being endowed by nature
with an unusually bright, receptive
mind, she enlarged and stored it with
many useful attalnments. She was an
extensive reader, and her careful perus-
al of the daily papers kept her posted
or current events even to her last days.
On August 18th, l8i7, she was married
TO Mr.. John Lewis Dantzlet. a young
man of sterling qualities.
To this happy union were given seven
children, four of whom survive her
Frank, Lewis and Emmett and Mrs.
Matte Cunningham. In addition to
her children, five grandchildren, rine
REORGANIZATION and a brother, Mr..
Tom Gholston, of Montgomery, Ala,
mourn her loss.
This worthy couple added much TO
the christian and material development
of Noxubee county, and their happy,
prosperous home was ever thrown open
to their friends, and especially to the
young people, many of whom will recall
the jests and merry laughter of ,he gay
young hostess, who dispensed such law
ism hospitality. Her beauty, hSr opti-
mism, her widespread sympathy, com
bined with a gracious personality, made
her a favorite wherever she went. Va
are grateful for having known her and
enjoyed her friendship and love since
our earliest remembrance.
About twenty six years ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dantzler went to live in the home
Of their youngest son, Mr.. E E. Dantz-
Ter, where they were accorded a nearly
welcome and ever received the kiLdest
consideration.
In 1907 this estimable pair were sepa,
rated by the passing of Mr.. Dantzler
to a better land. Although bereft OF
the ~congenial companion of so many
years. she was the object of tender so
lictude, and became the central figure
in the home. The affectionate sympa
thy existing between her and.her daugh
ter.in-law was beautiful to behold. anC
the untiring patient devotion of "Ad
die" smoothed life's rugged way fol
her ever into the valley OF the shadows
This world is better for her %sojourn il
it, and we know she is reaping the re
ward of the good and true.
We commend her exemplary christian
life to her children and to all woman
hood. A FRIEND.

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. May Eichelberger (nee Friday
was born on October Bro, 1873, and died
on October lst, 1916. In early woman
hood she was married to Mr.. Dismukes.
Two bright, noble boys blessed this
union of only a few years, which was
brought to an end by the death of Mr..
Dismukes, After a few years she was
married to Mr.. Jack Eichelberger, of
Mashulaville. This union was blessed
with a little girl ana a boy, both too
young to realize their great loss, None
knew Sister Eichelberger but to love
her. The writer (her former pastors
wife) knew and loved her for two years.
She was a noble woman, a loyal wife, a
loving mother and a good neighbor.
She was always loyal and true to her
church and made sacrifices far beyond
her strength to carry on the work she
loved SC much. She was President Of
| the Woman's Work of Mashulaville,
aud did the work of her Christ well.
Sister Eichelberger Joined the Baptist
church in early %girlhood, but later in
life united with the NJ. L. Church,
South, and was a faithful member until
death claimed her. She was %tenGerlv
laid TO rest on October Sd, 1916. in Ma
shulaville cemetery, in the midst of a
host of sorrowing friends, to await the
resurrection norm. The funeral service
was conducted by Brother A. w. O'Bry-
ant.
Yo1r place is vacant; your chair is empty.
How much we miss you. no one can tell.
But your Savior called you. May.
And he doeth all things well.
MRS. j. G.. NCELRoY.
