THE MERRY N. p. L. BOYS

Too much criticism should not be
given to the men who are getting
memberships In the Non Partisan
League. They have no earthly In
terest in the scheme except to earn
an easy living. As one Of them said
some time ago, Its darn sight
easier singing them than shovel
ing coal" They get percentage of
the membership fee-the rest Is sent
to headquarters in North Dakota
where the head officers use 1t for
their own purposes. Townley, WHO
was bankrupt when he started his
scheme, Is said to be worth half a
million dollars. These organizers are
taken to Fargo and put in school
where they are trained for month
making League speeches and in how
to approach prospect" exactly
like book canvassers or agents for
aluminium ware.
1t is specially trained force put
out ON business basis. 1t is an
easy living while 1t lasts aud of
course turns In lot Of money to
headquarters. One Of the best of the
working crew is Jesse Johnson,
former Clay Center man. Jesse is
smart and fine fellow. He does
not care any more for the League
program than he does about the fish
hatchery at New Zealand. He used
to handle agents for the Capper pub
lications In Nebraska and learned
how 70 hco ,l,~t o.,
Household. Capper's Weekly. etc.
with pair Of shears thrown in, all
for a dollar. The League pays him |
$1,000 year more than Capper |
could afford to and SO he is working |
for the League, bOssing the "can-
vass." His salary is $4,000 a year.
When the farmers Of central Kan
sas have been MIXED, the crew will
move on to Oklahoma or somewhere
else. Nothing will happen afterward
because the League is slipping-its
best days are over
In North Dakota with only 750,-
900 population, 30 per cent Of which
Is engaged in farming and a large
portion Of which is foreign born, 1t
has run its course. Its present plan
is desperate effort to gather up all
money possible before the end. OF ,
course no state like Kansas will ever
be captured; that can only be done I
where population is scattered and
people are not well informed. That
Is why the organizers are ordered not

he country-until they get the I
eheeks. Then they live at the ex-

When you are troubled with indi-

Dear Mr. Editor: Aprop5s the sug-
gestion that the welcome arch at the
intersection Of Main and Market
streets be allowed to stand, I wish
again to call to the attention OF the
city fathers and the public generally
to the beautiful u. D. c. monument
which stands on an obscure site in
the court house yard, and which, or
the site Of the present arch, would
be a permanent adonmcnt OF un-
rivaled excellence and beauty. At
that point it could be seen from all
directions by those entering the city,
and would. without doubt. be the most
distinctive feature Of our city's beauty
On the night Of the fireworks dis
play at the Franklin school, many
passcrs by were heard to remark on
the exquisite beauty Of the monu-
ment, and TO regret that it did not
have a more conspicuous place from
which to speak 10 our own and future
generations Of the heroism and valor
Of the men Of '61. ] propose, there
fore. that instead Of keeping the
present temporary structure Of the
Of Main and Market. We
remove to that site the II. d. c.
as a means Of permanent
IS identifying our city and Of per-
mancntly honoring those 60 whom al
honor IS due.
