Farmer Accepts Challenge.
Mr.. Townley, after spending about
an. hour roasting business men and
attempting to arouse the farmers
against those who he said opposed
them politically, offered to give any

business men opposed the farmer:
program No~one responded immedi-
ately, n Eown1ey grew holder; re-
peating his invitation, whichtwas ac-
cepted by A. T: %kukowski, a farmer.
He was u continually interrupted by
Townley; when he tried to speak and
the crowd became incensed at the
treatmentSaccorded the farmer. The
J audience yelled to Townley to sit
down, and afteraten minutes of COM
motion Townley left the platform.
MIR. KukoWski said he was not the
:" spokesman for the business men, but
said that he supposed they opposed
! Mr.. Townley's POLITICAL schemes for
the same reason that he himself OPP
{! posed them-because their taxes had
been trebled without anything to
= show for their money. Mr.. Kukows-
HI asked several questions. of Mr..
Townley, which the league head fall

Mr.. Townley then said he would
give ten minutes to someone else and

Mr.. O'Connor commented on the

paper, on Saturday, October Is, from

attention to the fact that Mr.. Nc
Donald repudiated the interview and
demanded a4retraction from the editor
and the editor promised to retract
soniS Saturday, OctoberE2 49, but no. re-
traction appeared.
"a government is truly American
when it takes into consideration the
of all classes Of people and not
any one class of people," The speak
Ier then called attention to his labor
record in the legislature and stated
that he had voted for the full crew
bill. the bill to give protection to those
who worked, in the storms in winter
on the railroads, the workrnan's com
%pensation act, the eight hour day for
women, the minimum wage bill. My

of my city gave me a solid gold medal
in token of appreciation of my scrv-
ices sfor. them"
Warned of Radicalism
"Mr. McDonald's reputation of the
non-partisan papers account is in
deed gratifying. He seems to have
absolutely misunderstood me when
cautioned him that if legislation thai
was too radical was attempted, anc
even if enacted into aw that the
public sentiment would not sustain il
legislature would repeal it.. l. point
ed out that it might be possible t.
enact a six hour law, but that thu

THE sPIRTr OF THE FALL.

Come, on thy szTayfng feet, Wild spirit of the fall! With wind-blown skirts, loose hair of russet-brown. Crowned with bright berries of the bftter-sweet- Trip light measure with the hurry ing leaf, stratning thy few late roses to thy breast, With laughter over way, sweet eyes
 dropped down, That none may guess thy grief. Dare not to pause for rest Lest the slow tears should gather to
 their fall. But when the cold moon rises o'er the hill, The last numb crickets cease, and all
 is still, Face down thou Hest on the frosty
 ground Strewed with thy fortunes wreck
 alas thine all There, on a winters dawn, thy course
 I found, Lone Spirit of the Fail.

policy. Also it ts failing to do its share in settling the world, and thereby appears in the light of a stacker.
 The delay may promote some ter rible catastrophe. The lack of a settled policy may result in bolshevist revolutions in several countries. It will encourage Germany in the idea that the allies are disunited. She will be melted to block the peace settle ments.
 The fundamental difficulty is the requirement of a two thirds vote for ratification of a treaty. This has al- ways made it difficult to get treaties ratified, and many very necessary and beneficial ones have failed on this account. This is a country of majority rule. A two-thirds vote en- ables the minority to rule the ma jority. This is contrary to the Arneri- can theory of government, and should be modified to permit the majority to rule.

NEW SENSATION RIVALS FAMOUS
 SHELBY DINNER

New York, March 27-New York buzzed yesterday with a scandal which threatens to rival the famous Seeley-Little Egypt dinner.
 The discussion centered around the showing of the Willard-Dempsey fight pictures in the grand ball room of the Hotel Commodore. The exhi- bition, which was staged at the din ner of the International Sporting Club Thursday night necessitated viola tion of Section 10146 of the United States Compiled Statutes. This sec ton prohibits the transportation of prize fight motion pictures in In terstate Commerce.
 The penalty for violation of the statute against the interstate trans portation of motion pictures of Ca prize fight or any encounter of pugi- lists is a fine of one thousand dol lars or, imprisonment for not more than one year or both. In this con- nection the law was obviously violat- ed since the fight took place in To- ledo, Ohio.
 The pictures were shown to a gath ering much greater in wealth, pow CT, fashion and social position than the See1ey dinner.

DELAWARE VOTES
 NEXT WEDNESDAY

Dover, Del, March 27-A1though the Delaware legislature was in ad- journment until next Monday. today saw little 1et-up in the struggle for and against it's ratification of the woman suffrage constitutional amend ment. Workers on both sides con- tinued campaigns in preparation for the vote expected next Tuesday or Wednesday.
 Throughout Delaware today cham pions wearing the yellow and purple colors of the suffragists, and the red roses of the opposition were engaged with special pressure on members of the lower legislative branches which so far maintained a majority against ratification. Many campaigners were at Wilmington, Philadelphia, and some at Washington enlisting aid in the fight.
 Suffrage advocates declared that should Delaware refuse to be the 36th state needed for ratification of the proposed constitutional amendment they will turn their attention to four other states, Connecticut, Vermont, North Carolina and Louisiana. Suf- frage organizations now have repre- sentatives at work in all four They are seeking special sessions of the Connecticut and Vermont legislatures and counting On action at the North Carolina assembly called for Judy. But Delaware remains their major hope for effecting ratification of the amendment in time to insure nation wide suffrage in the coming primaries.

GOVERNMENT TOO
 SLOW IN ACTING

In the business world action on vital matters is always prompt. Hesitation often creates greater perils than positive errors. When business men have a big question to settle, they give their earnest thought to it, do the best they can, and go ahead. And they come out better than if they dallied and doubted.
 But government does not have this capacity for clear cut action. There are long delays, lodging of respon- sfbility, and political jockeying.
 The harm done can be seen in such a matter as the peace treaty and League of Nations. The country wanted prompt action either one way or the other. But now the matter has apparently gone over until after election, perhaps until a new presi- dent comes in.
 Thereby the worlds unsettlement is prolonged, economic readjustment is delayed, and the United States is held up to contempt for its vacillatng

Warsaw, March 27-Russian so- viet forces swinging south of the Prf- pet marsh country between Mozir and Pinsk and attacking Polish lines al various points over a front of ap- nroximately 25e miles, have captured several towns along the Slutch river, 1t is admitted in official statam ents issued at Polish army headquarters here The enemy, however, has been unable to cross the Slutch river, which parallels the front for a long distance despite persistent efforts

EAGLE
 IS DISAPPEARING

New York, March PA warning against the threatened extinction of the bald or American eagle, the na- tional bird of the United States, was issued here today by the American Museum of Natural History which stated that reports indicated that more than one-half and, perhaps, three-quarters of the entire species already have been sacrificed
 Destruction of the birds is attribut- ed to hunters in Alaska who are kill ing them for a bounty paid by the territorial government. Never nu- merous the museum authorities say, more than 5,6OO eagles were slain in a few months in their favorite breed ing ground, the Alaskan peninsula. Hunters have extended their opera tions into the British provinces ad- joining Alaska, it is said, to swell their gains.
 After declaring that the American eagle preys chiefly on large rodents harmful to farm crops, for the con- trol of which the government an nually expends large sums, the mu- scum declares that tales of the American eagles destructiveness to game or domestic animals are for the greater part pure fction.'' The bird, 1t says, is migratory and therefore no state or territory can claim the right to destroy it, that right being vested in the Federal government.
 Recalling the fact that the wild pigeon, formerly found in incredible numbers in certain parts of the United States, had been utterly wiped out by unrestricted shooting | and the destruction of it's nests'' the museum says that only the prompt ! passage of a Federal law will save 1 the American eagle from the same | fate.
