OF human wisdom. He knows that

knows that usually he can learn some
thing from the humblest of his asso-
clates.

Tower City Topics: A. E. Bowen,
chief clerk of the House at Bismarck
last winter and head organizer or
bull dozer for the Boss, was divorced
by his wife this week. Bowen was
charged with inhuman treatment and

making fight. The custody Of the
two children, aged s and S, were
granted along with alimony of SIS a
month until the children are 21 years
Of age. Bowen spoke here when the
league was first organized and he will
be remembered as the speaker who at
tempted to bulldoze our merchants in
to becoming auxiliary members Of the
league or "be broke within a Year.
Bowen is an example of the class Of
men that Townley has for his lieuten-
ants in the battle for the farmers

NOT A WAR FOR FREE TRAD

NOT A WAR FOR FREE TRADE
Some peoples idea Of boosting the
cause of the United States is to issue
an occasional proclamation to the ef-
feet that this is a war for the estab-
lishment Of universal free trade. The
people Of the United States, who have
never authorized any one to put such
an Interpretation upon their cause, do
not agree that the purpose of the war
is to establish economic equality be-
tween the American producer, the Ash
attic coolie, the European peasant and
the South American peon. Just when
and where the right originated to lug
the tariff question into this war is
not clear. It may come from on high,
but it does not come from the people
who are paying the cost of this war,
either in blood or treasure.-Ex.

Don't Take Liberty
Bonds In Trade

Merchants Of the country are asked
to discontinue the sale of merchandise
for liberty bonds, in a statement by
Secretary McAdoo as follows:
"It has been brought to my atten-
tion that numbers of merchants thru
out the country are offering to take
liberty loan bonds Of the first and Sec
ond issue at par or even in some cases
at a premium in exchange for mer-
chandise. While I have no doubt that
these merchants are actuated by pat
riotic motives, I am sure they have
failed to consider the effect which the
acceptance Of their offers would have
upon the situation. When bonds are
exchanged for merchandise, it defeats
the primary object of their sale, it
discourages thrift and increases ex-
penditures, thus depriving the gov
ernment of labor and material needed
for war purposes"
