have elected a state legislature and
a governor by a majority of the votes
of the people of North Dakota. We
believe in the rule of the majority;
that's sound Americanism, isn't it?
The bolsheviki do not understand it.
Do not believe in the will of the ma
jority. We are by no means bolshs-
wiki.
We believe in government owner
ship of railroads and utilities. Cities
own utilities. Why shouldn't states?
We believe the state should help
people build homes. should loan them
money through a central bank, should
operate everything for the common
good"
l told Mr.. Townley that many in
dustrial concerns were helping their
employees to build homes, and were
even making loans to them.
ITO the extent that business does
these things" he replied, will the
necessity for non-partisan league

things socialism years ago, but the

Road, Owensbor0, Ky.
Thousands of people who have
suffered for years from stomach
and bowel troubles, have found
relief, as Mrs. Hendricks did, al
most from the first dose of Milks
Emulsion. And it isn't merely
temporary relief, but real, lasting
benefit.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant
nutritive food and a corrective
medicine. 1t restores healthy,
natural bowel action, doing away
with all need of pills and physics.
It promotes appetite and quickly
puts the digestive organs in
shape to assimilate food. As a
builder of flesh and strength
Milks Emulsion is strongly rec
/ commended to rundown nervous
people, and it has produced
amazing results in many cases
of tuberculosis of the lungs.
Chronic stomach trouble and
constipation are promptly re-
Eeved-usually in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion
made, and so paIatable that it is
eaten with a spoon like ice
cream. A truly wonderful medi-
cine for weak, sickly children.
No matter how severe your
case, you are urged to try Milks
Emulsion under this guarantee

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

ST. PAUL, Minn.. April 17.-Some-
where between the state of North Da-
kota and the states Immediately ad-
jacent thereto is an imaginary line
called a boundary. 1t separates the
first experiment in state socialism,
tried on a large scale on this side OF
the Atlantic. from ten other states
wherein the agitation to initiate
North Dakota or to build up par
rier of protection against what is
happening in North Dakota easily
transcends all other questions. But
the affair isn't local.
Farmers may have had grievances
and agitators may have cap1tailzeo
them or cured them, decreased or IN
creased. them-depending upon the
point of view of the individual at
this particular stage of the eXper1-
ment but what is important to the
other states of the Union is how are
those experiments actually working
and how can the truth about them be
conveyed to the people elsewhere by
non-partisan medium. This means.
of course, neither the so-called non
partisan league press nor the other
extremists, who by their methods or
opposition have strengthened instead
of weakened those very persons who
are tlnkerlng WIN tne Va
the state of North Dakota and fond
ling with it's finances.
Tactics are often misguided in po-
liticaI campaigns. They are twice as
dangerous when aimed at move
ment that had as it's object the re-
moval of grievances. which. even the
opponents of the non-partisan league
admit have existed. ] talked with
several men in Minneapolis and st.
Paul who bitterly denounced the non
partisan league. who told me all they
felt and believed. sincere men who
think the experiment is destined to
ruin and who say that even now 1t is
torn by internal strife.
I talked also with men who said
they were favorable to many of the
things advocated by the non-partisan
league, but condemned its methods. j
talked finally with Arthur c. Town.
ley. head of the non-partisan league,
and asked him to state his side of the
controversy.
There seems to be three impressions
of the non-partisan league, 1 told
him at the outset; first. that it is
bolshevism: second. that it is a move
ment to get something for the good
of the farmers of the state of North
Dakota and is opposed and perse-
cuted by the business interests ad
versely affected by its growth, and
third, that it is species of social

STATE SOCIALISM ON TRIAL;

David Lawrence Discusses Non-Partisan

Newspaper and Townleyiism.

VI Statc anu attorney general nave
forbidden the further sale Of stock or
the establishment of any more nom
partisan league stores until an ac-
counting Is rendered and changes are
made in the form of contracts by
which subscribers today pay 500
SIMPLY for the privilege of buying at
these stores for cash plus 10 per cent
and no provision is made for that 800
TO come back to them, because 1t is
spent In managing the stores or ed
ucat1onal organization"
Denies Owning Stock in Concerns.
Mr.. Townley himself denied to me that
ne had any stock in these concerns or
that anybody could make any money
out of them; but the insurgents inside
the Non-Partisan League are asking for
an accounting and are giving an i'm
preston that the stores are not as bene-
nclal to the consumer as they sound,
the truth of which, however, is some
thing which only an official investiga-
ton can reveal. 1t is. important that
something like this should occur, because
solicitors are out in ten different states
OF the central west preaching that the
stores are a success. Also in order to
earn their own commissions on the
memberships which they sell to farm
ers throughout the central west. they
are saying things about the actual
operation OF the league which may or
NOT De SO.
The Minnesota opponents Of the
league accused it of disloyalty during
the war and undoubtedly weakened the
league in the last election by so doing,
but whether there was clear case
against it or not is matter on which
men hereabouts differ.
One editor told me he believed the dis
loyalty charges would never be sustained
In higher courts and that the 1ndict-
menus against Townley in particular
had been promptly quashed by the
supreme court Of the state. The
man, as well as others who do not
approve OF the Non-Partisan League
said the tactics of the opponents made
converts to the league among the
farmers. Opponents of the league
say its ringleaders borrowed trouble
and irritation developed. Now, how
ever, the war is over. The disIoyalty
argument is gone.
The big question for surrounding
states to decide is. will they recog-
nize the good points in the league and
say so. and fight the bad points by
bringing the truth home to the farm
ers who are impressed with it, or will
they unwittingly encourage agitators
who are running around in other
states trying to initiate the Non-Parti-
san League?'
business men and political leaders
who guide the tactics of the many
people who do not believe it is neces-
sary to go to the extreme lengths
of state socialism to get needed re-
form. can give the answer.
