"The World Owes Me a

and I'm goin' to get it, too," he says, that big,
burIy, able-bodied man, sprawled out on his back
on the side of the hill this Summer morning,
with thick hickory stick beside him,
overlooking on the other side of the road herd
of cows browsing in the valley, and muttering
that he likes milk and would help himself if
they would come his way.
Overhead to the right of him flock of
pigeons were flying low down, to whom with his
eyes he said, "If you were roasted could eat
all of ye!"
Even big boys are growing up in our cities
thinking that the taking of other peoples
property without paying or working for it is all
in the game of life.
There are several species of anarchism.
The world owes and pays whatever is due to
us when honestly earned A store or man with
a screw loose never amounts to much.

Veteran Secretary Of States Takes
up Battle Against Townley-
ism on MinOt Ticket.
A FOE TO ALL SOCIALISM

Thomas Hail., Anti-Townley Repub-
lican candidate for secretary Of state,
is a bitter foe of socialism. When
LANCER and Kostzky broke with the
arrogant leadership of A. C. Townley
and his lesser lights, Mr.. Hall joined
them. in fact the three broke with
the socialist regime at the same time
and practically upon the same counts:
the persecution of Minnie Nelson, the
secret caucus, the Valley City Bank
deal, the Scandinavian bank scandal
and because of other high handed ac
tions which no man who believes in
representative government could toll
crate.
In 1916, the nonpartisan league
printed the following sketch which
was true then and equally true now
for while the league leadership has
slipped back, LANCER, Hall and koSi1-
zky have advanced along progressive
lines.
The sketch taken from the files Of
the Nonpartisan Leader follows:
''Thomas Hall. now secretary Of
state, and indorsed by the NonpaTti
san League for his third consecutive
term in that position, was once miner
and railroad hand. Starting his career
in the coal mines Of Cornwall, Eng
land, when a. boy, he has steadily in
creased his efficiency and taken all
vantage of new opportunities as they
came to him. until now he has reach
ed one of the most responsible places
in an American state, and is so well
favored that he has the almost uni
versal support of the people. He
came with his parents to North Da-
kOta 33 years ago and settled on a
homestead II miles from Fargo. His
parents and brothers and sisters still,
live there.
"For eleven year after coming to
this state he was farm hand ana
railway employe. These years taught
him a good deal about real things,
lessons which he has been able to
turn to the profit of the people who
have since put him in office and kept
him there. Later he attended Con
cordia college, at Moorhead Mimi, and
afterward he took up newspaper
career For y years he was re-
porter on Fargo newspapers, and
gained a variety Of experience all Of
which went toward increasing his eff
cheney. He was also travelling sales
man for two years. His connection
with political affairs really began in
1906 when he became secretary of the
Progressive Republican League, j
position he held for six years.
