A BLOW TO PEssIMIsTs

ting That the league is N sight,
however, they manage to gloom

its carly failtre, and OF q total
breakdown in a crisis, says the
McAlester News-Capital
Pessimists do not enjoy being
chccrcd up. Nevertheless it is
wen 10 point out a few things to
them occasionally One thing of
which these gruochy folk may
safely be reminded today is that
their predecessors said just as
diseouraging things about the
United States of America back
in the days following the revo-
luton.
In way they were right. The
OF confederation did not
work very wen at first. They
did, however, pave the way for
constitution which did work and
which is still working today. The
civil war was n break which
must have delighted the pessi-
mists of that day. But it ended
by clinching the union.
1t is quite true that the states
men now struggling to form a
world federation have
to feel their way carefully. 1t is
possible that they make mis-
alles and that some Of their
provisions may need modificatin

GOING BACK TO NATURE.

People get sick because they go away
from Nature, and the only way to get
well is to 60 back. Something grows out
Of the ground in the form of vegetation
to cure almost every il. Some of these
vegetable growths are understood by
man, and some are not. Animals, it
would seem, know what to do when
they are sick better than men ana
women. Observers have noted that
sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating
food and seek out some vegetable
growth in the field oryard, which, when
found and eaten, often restores appetite
and health. Haven't you seen these
animals do this very thing yourself?
Dr. Fierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y, long
since found the herbs and roots pro-
vided by Nature to overcome constipa-
fion, KnG he had these vegetables col
lected and made up of Mayapple, leaves
Of Aloe, root OF Jalap, into little white
sugar coated pills, that he called DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must
understand that when your intestines
are stopped up, poisons and decayed
matter are imprisoned in your system,
and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does
your head ache, you get dizzy, you
can't sleep, your skin may break out,
your appetite declines, you get tired
aud despondent. As a matter of fact,
you may get sick all over. Don't you
see how useless all this suffering is
All that is often needed is a few OF
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he
has placed in all drug stores for your
COM enieucc and health Try them by
an means. They are probably the very
thing you need right now.

$4,000 E FAMILY.

The 65th congress closed with a
record of having authorized the ex-
penditure of approximately $6O,OO0,-
600, 900. This is the largest sum ever
authorized by an American congress
and probably breaks the worlds rec
ord for any country. During it's ex-
istence war was declared on Germany
and Austria; the greatest army the
United States ever had was raised
and the armistice was signed. All
of this made necessary unprecedented
appropriations, but some day a math-
ematician will rise among us and show
how many billions were unnecessary
And the 65th congress would have
blindly appropriated many more mil
lions if it had not been for the fact
that republican members of the SEN
ate refused to allow bills spending the
peoples money, to be ~railroaded
through without proper debate and
discussion. The e5th congress did
not achieve greatness because it's dem
ocratic majority was not made OF
great material. Controlled as it was,
it only met the situation brought
about by the war because there was
no alternative. Mr.. Wilson was elect
ed a second time on campaign liter
! allure which asked the people whether
they wanted Wilson with peace and
continued prosperity or Hughes with
Roosevelt and war? No comment is
needed on the merits Of such a plat
form. Wilson forced his followers
to follow him to war even though
MANY of them had to do so at the ex-
pense of casting aside the platforms
upon which they were elected. Those
who formed the majority of the Goth
congress were coddled into submits
siveness by the we'll chosen words OF
Mr.. Wilson. But many of them fig
ured wrong because when November
1918 rolled around and Mr.. Wilson
tried these same tactics on the peo'
pie o fthe country they rejected his
candidates with the result that the
Goth congress will be republican.

is the most expensive luxury'in which
a people may indulge itself.
1t is important to keep in mind
that this is no external political at
tack upon the Nonpartisan league that
is convulsing North Dakota. On the
contrary it is a Nonpartisan league
attack upon Townleyism-a revolt
within the league against the Town
ley exploitation of the farmer which
at last has forced itself upon the con-
%viction of the league membership.
The situation in North Dakota is
in reality a development of the rev.
olution against Townley %autocracy be-
gun in Minnesota last year by Rev.
S. R. Maxwell, through a series of ex-
positary articles in the Dispatch and
Pioneer Press. The indictment of the
Townley system of autocratic organ
@ization and dictatorial control present.
ed by Mr.. Maxwell came straight
from the inside. 1t did not attain
complete effect, inside of the men,
bership lines, for the reason that the
shrewd Townley oligarchy-nobody
ever questioned it's shrewdness-suc-
ceeded in convincing a proportion of
it's dupes that it was a political at
tack by outside interests.
But that series of disclosures sowed
the seeds of scrutiny and suspicion and
the fruitage is coming in North Da-
kota. Townley is found out. Discov-
cred on the outside of the league and
stripped to the skeleton of his real
purpose, the dictator had continued
on the inside to pose successfully be-
hind the mask of deliverer of the far
mer. Now comes the discovery from
within. 1t is the farmer and member
of the league who has, at last, open
ed his eyes to the situation in North
Dakota precisely as MI. Maxwell pic
tured it nearly a year ago. 1t will
be interesting to watch the expanding
of events as the league tears itself
loose from the strangle hold of the
Boss.-St. Paul Dispatch.
