T. Not directly.
M And don't sign any

These two gentlemen
don't concern themselves with
it at all.
M Do you know whether
they are paid salaries or not?
T. l think they draw sal

a salary from the Pub. Co.
Murphy-So you haven't in
fact received any salary from
the N. P. Co.?
Wood No sir, I never re-
ceived any salary.

Murphy Now so far as you
know there was no vouchers
turned in by Mr.. Townley for
his current expenses while he
was travelling. For. example
for hotel bills, railroad fare, or
any of those items which a man

in this republic. Every war in which
bur ration has ever engaged has been.
fought for a sublime purpose, and
men went back home to resume again
the broken ways Of peace where they
had dropped them at their country.s
call.
In the Cause Of Human Freedom
The men Of 1776 contended for lib
erty. 1t was. their own liberty, but
yet il the cause Of human freedom.
The men. of 1861 advanced the stand
ard They, too. contended for lib
erty, not their own, but for that of
another rae in their own land and
under their OWE flag. The boys of
1898 lifted still higher the standard.
They, too, commended for liberty, not
their own, for that hey had, not that
Cor any other person or people in Their
own land, for under our flag all were
free and all were equal, but they con-
tended for the liberty of peoples be-
yond the path of the sun, in strange
lands, and under foreign flags, Now,
the boys of 1917, catching the inspira-
tion of all u mighty past have lift
ed still higher the old standard of the
republic, for in the conflict just closed
they commended for the liberty of all
peoples, in all lands and under all
flags.
Now, that that great contest is. over,
It, is up to u boys to train them
selves for citizenship in the days Of
peace, as they trained themselves for
conflict on the bloody field of strife
1t is quite true that the American
Legion has no monopoly or patriot
ism, because there are other millions
of people that just as dearly love the
old flag and r just as sincerely de-
voted to It's principles, but after all
the Legion may direct patriotism and,
more than any other agency of force
here iE our land. can insure law and
order and stability and the mainten-
ance Of orderly government, coRstitu-
tional in form and representative in
character. There is reason why this
great organization for civic purposes
should be made, because the Huns and
vandals among us are again on the
march. They are making demands
that nothing but the overturnirg uf
our form Of government can satisfy,
and, my friends, if there be one thing
above another upon which we can still
agree it is that there is room in this
country for Just one flag and only one
flag.

No Room for The led Flag

There is nj room for the red flag.
OF BolsAevism. There is no space in
u air for b e>black banner of a1nar-
chy. There is only for that
same old and glorious flag that from
Yorktown to The Argorne Forest has
been the Inspiration for every lover Of
liberty ana every lover Of all hi: kind,
and that is the old flag under which
our boys marched to victory. and
when they brought it back with no
stain upo3 it. except The bio d O. the
boys who had died to defend it, by
common consent it was placed above
all other banners, for it represented
indeed the only nation which when
liberty pleaded her cause, forgot her
self and all her selfish aims and
plunged history in order that liberty
might reign and he universally re.
;spected among the sons Of men.

WHO OWNS THE CUR1ER-
NEWS THE MONEY
WAS RAISED
When a farmer joined the N.
P: League, it was understood
that his membership included.
IA subscription to the official
paper of the League. AS the
exact amount of the "subscrip-
ton was not stated, this loop
hole was discovered and some
real "easy money" has been
and still is being gathered.
My proof used in this article
consists of testimony by "A. c..
,Fownley and his friends, Mr..
Reyes, his bookkeeper; Mr..
Thatcher, his auditor; Edw.
Wood and A. j. Fox, the CO.
partners owning the Nonpar-
tisan Publishing Company. Mr..
Murphy, is the attorney for the
trustee in the Townley Bank

Transcript of Record is given

rified.

gan organization in 1915, the
Program" had a provision
thus:
"The said sum, Sc, to include

later than Dec. l., 1915-any

was the manner of addressing
the farmers; even the receipt
cited Farmers Nonpartisan
League" the first line ever
printed in the N. p. Leader
read: This Journal belongs
to the farmers of the north
west" When the N. P. Lead
er started, the price was $1.5O
per annum, but on Aug. 81,
1916, the following notice APP
peared:
GAS announced some two
weeks ago, beginning with
next issue of the Leader the
subscription price will be $3.50
per year, and $1.50 for six
months, strictly in advance.
There are many reasons for
this increase in price; princip-
ally that the cost of producing
a newspaper has been increas-
ed many fold since the Lead
er began publication, and the
price of $1.50 is too small an
amount to operate on and keep
the Leader independent of all
other influences.
$50 to meet the increasing
cost Of publication and to as
sure the Leader continued ex-
istence and an opportunity of
being steadfastly true to the
cause of the Farmers Nonpar-
