Non-P artisan League of
North Dakota in Turmoil
Attorney General LANCER Ac-

ing Farmers
Special Corresnonde.,,c, . ,

OVecluE correspondence
FARGO. N. D., May 3.-Increasing
bitterness continues to mark the con-
fiict between rival factions of the Ma
tional Non-Partisan League. Attorney
General William LANCER, leader Of the
insurgent faction, issued this week a
vitriolic denunciation of A. c. Town
ley, president of the league, accusing
him of deceiving the farmers Of the
state in the conduct Of the organiza-
ton.
The Townley faction has been en-
gagged for the past four weeks in a
bitter campaign against J.anger and
other state officials who venrured to
dispute Townley's authority, and the
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04

insurgents have announced they are
prepared for fight to finish.
Both the Townley and insurgent or
ganlzations have speakers stumping the
sta e. The insurgents are Opposing
certain laws passed recently by the
state Legislature as not coming within
the scope Of the leagues programme.
1t is still uncertain as to what the
streng h Of the factions is. This may
be indicated at the forthcoming
referendum election called for July S,
when the people will act on the dis
puted laws.

vanity.
I am dyeing, comrades, dyeing, for
my whiskers show up gray; the effect
Is rather trying, so I'd stain them
dappled bay. Oh, life's little day Is
ending, and the evensong is sung, and
I spend my time pretending vainly
too, that I am young. I wear raiment
brave and gaudy, and deny I have
the govt; but the hinges in my body
are as rusty as get out; at the least
exertion firing. / must seek the near
est chair, and my sparkplugs all miss
firing every time I'd climb a stair.
But I'm evermore pretending that
I'm a three-year-old; all my waking
hours I'm spending proving I'm as
good as gold. My old ayes r rather
rheumy, and my teeth are celluloid,
but 1 won't admit I'm gloomy, or
that life's an aching void. 1 chirp on,
like Alfred river. telling folks how
good I feel, though I have a musty
liver, and rheumatics in my heel. 1t
Is vanity, dodgast 1t. and perhaps
that's an offense. and you say I should
be past it, should be gifted with more

LESSONS FROM The CONSTITUTION

This is Constitution Day. The Constitution OF I'LL Om'eu
States. after one Of the bitterest controversies ever "a9eu
among free people, was adopted 1872 years ago TO-DAY as ue
Fundamental law of this great republic.
The observance of Constitution Day is particularly sig
niGeant today for two reasons. In the first place, 1t brings US
back to rock bottom in the matter of government, by bringing
forcibIy to mind the Constitution of the United States we get
our feet on the ground once understanding gredty heeuou
when Bolshevism, Soviet government and open defiance OF eS-
tablisbed authority is rampant throughout the country.
In the second place, it is timely to recall the adoption OF
the Constitution because at the present time we II passing
through q fierce controversy over the adoption Oh What 10 I'LL
intents and purposes is a constitution for a united CIVILIZATION
10 operate among the different nations as the American Con
stitution operates for our states.
Just at the present time some of the great natlonal lead
ers bitterly opposing the covenant of the League of Nations,
so many prominent men in the early days OF thus repuDhc OPP
posed the adoption of our Constitution. They clalmed that the
people were surrendering their liberties, just as some claim
now that the American nation is surrendering its freedom in
Joining the League of Nations.
But The point is, the Constitution was finally ratified by
the different states lust as it had been drawn up by the con-
vention for, as Washington pointed out, the Constitution as
drawn provided for a constitutional method OF amending 1t
should it not be what was expected of it. The idea was to ratlfy
it as it stood and then perfect it after it was in effect. Had the
Constitution not been accepted as it was at that time, there IS
no telling what would have become of this republic. Probably
we would have been split up into a great many separate ma
tons.
But the people accepted the Constitution as it stood and
then when the first congress as provided for in that Constitu-
ton met they proposed amendments that greatly strengthened
the Constitution. In fact, the strongest features in the Con
sttution are to be found in the amendments.
Here, indeed, is a great lesson for all of us in regard to
the covenant of the League of Nations. 1t has been drawn up
after a great deal of difficulty. 1t is the best that can be had,
just as our Constitution as originally drawn was the best that
could be had at that time.
The covenant for the League of Nations is not what any
of us would have, to be sure, but it is a start, just as the Con-
sttution as originally drawn by the convention 132 years ago
was a start toward a permanent union of the states. Let us
then adopt it as it stands and proceed to strengthen it by
amendments, just as the people did with our own Constitu-
ton. It is the only way progress can be made. 10 hope TO
have a perfect covenant at the very outset is to expect the i'm
possible.
Truly, Constitution Day has a wonderful meaning for
every American at this particular time.

Daily Sermonette

And he snail be IKE a tree planted
by the rivers of water, that brlngetn
forth fruit in his season."
Trees are like you and me.
There are good trees and poor trees.
Jesus once spoke OF a tree, when,
because it brought forth no fruit, was
cut down and cast into the hre-It
was a great disappointment TO its
owner.
III "fruit-bearing," or production, or
service-whatever we choose TO can
tt-were the only justification Tor
life, there'd be some big bontres
throughout the world.
There's a fable that whoever slept
under a japanese upas-tree was sure
to die. It's influence is said to be
so deadly that vegetation for miles
around is killed.
1t is known that the milky sub
stance which the tree gives forth
when punctured or broken is poison
Gus and is used by the natives to give
venom to their arrows.
The upas-tree is an illustration OF
the influence of a corrupt life upon its
surroundings, and particularly upon
individuals who come into intimate
contact with it.
1t blights and shrivels and destroys
the sweetest and most precious human
relationships.
It's like a certain tropical vine
which grips the sturdiest tree in the
forest, climbs about it's trunk, crawls
up its side. and when it reaches h
top. it sends forth a wonderful flower
but its grip has meanwhile crushed
the life out of the tree, leaving it a
rotten shell-the flower seeming to be
it's sign Of glory that the destructive
work of the vine has been accomplish
ed.
Quite different Is the man pictured
in the first Psalm-the one who:
"Walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly.
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor stitch in the seat of the scorn-
full"
He shall be like a tree planted by
the rivers of water"
Life-bestowing, ~fruit-bearing shade
giving.
Eating the fruit of the forbidden
tree in the Garden CT Eden brought
the curse Upon our first parents, but
in the last chapter of the Revelation
were told about the tree of life,'
whose leaves are for the healing OF
the nations"
The race of men died" in the first
garden-'for as Adam all die'-Adam
was the race, and in him all men had
the curse resting upon them-even SO
shall all men be made alive through
the tree of life in the second garder
described In Revelation.
Trees therefore have had a goot
deal to do with the race of men-fron
the beginning of the a C down to the
last act of life.
Is 1t any wonder that men have
sometimes worshipped trees-makine
gods out of them2
They sometimes seem sc close to US
Perhaps you've listened to trees in the
night, when everyone was supposed te
be asleep-how they seemed to whisp'
er to each other. bowling their heads
toward each other, n sometimes
they've moaned and moaned a
though sadness was in their hearts.
It's good to make friends with tree
anyway.
