When j. w. Brinton went before
the house investigating committee
and told his story OF how A.. c. Town
ley, William Lemke, and other lead
ers of the Nonpartisan league had
misused the public funds Of the state,
and the funds entrusted to their care
by the farmers of the state, Mr.. Lem
Ike, F. w. Cathro, and other declared
that he lied, and had him arrested
on a charge of perjury.
They were in no hurry to bring
him to trial on this charge, but Brin-
ton finally forced them to do 80. He
told his story, and submitted his
proofs to the jury.
This was the occasion on which J.
w. Weeks Of Bottineau, who had
been retained for the state by Lemke
and Cathro to prosecute Brinton,
pulled his celebrated boneer. Said
Mr.. Weeks solemnly to the jury:

Either you must find that Brinton
purjured himself, or you must fino
that these other men, Mr.. Lenke. Mr..
Cathro, even the governor of the
state did"
Well, the Jury was out two hours
and then brought in a verdict Of not
guilty for Brinton, and Mr.. Weeks
remarks just quoted tell the rest OF
the story.
In his address here tonight, Brinton
will show the proofs he submitted to
the pury In his trial. Photographic
reproductions Of documents signed by
Mr.. Townley Inc others will be
thrown on the screen at the auditori-
um, showing just how the farmers
money was spent.
Brinton is touring North Dakota,
under the management of the North
Dakota Lecture Bureau. His address
here will be given at the auditorium
at $3.50 o'clock tonight.

Nonpartisans Remind Speaker
About Dickens Character
Who Eyades lnconvenient
Facts Or Disagreeable OBJ
legations By Denying Or
Ignoring Their Existence.

Casselton. N. D., Oct. 21.-Con-
gresham Geo. NJ. Young of the sec
ond district Of North Dakota. in his
speech here tonight, called the pres
ent Nonpartisan officials Podsnappers.
Casselton is the old stamping
ground of Congressman Young. who
came here from Michigan thirty-one
years ago and he received a warm
reception, particularly from the pio-
neers.
What is a ~podsnapper This is how
Young described him:
Charles Dickens, in the character of
Mr.. Podsnap, typifies those who
evade an announcement fact or a dis
agreeable obligation by denying or
ignoring its existence. h
Here is a short paragraph which
gives a word picture of a podsnapper::
Happily acquainted with his own
merit and importance, Mr.. Podsnap
settled that whatever he put behind
him he put out of existence. There
was a dignifed OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to
add a grand convenience-in this
way of getting rid of disagreeables
which had done much towards eStab
fishing Mr.. Podsnap in his lofty plag
in Mr.. Podsnap's satisfaction. :.
don't want to know about it; l don't
choose to discuss it.; ] ont admit it,
Mr.. Podsnap had even acquired a
peculiar flourish of his right arm in
often clearing the world of its most
difficult problems by sweeping them
behind him (and consequently sheer
away with those words n a flushed
face. For they affronted him.
League Press Put Up Bold Front.
Young said, during the past couple
of years disagreeable and inconveni-
ent facts had been constantly coming
to light in spite of the N~onpartisan
passion for secrecy. The N~onpartisan
newspapers, absolutely unreliable,
have. put up a bold front and have
denounced every charge against
league officials as the emanation of
big biz and Wall street, but in spite
of the press declarations, the. rank
and file of the league are gradually
getting the truth. n no statements
made by Governor Frazier, with a
flushed face, nor by Lemke and Ha-
gan. accompanied by a flourish of the
right arm can brush away the incon-
venient, disagreeable and embarrass-
ing facts connected with their records
now 50 evident to a majority of the
voters.
Now about the state bonds: do
not>know whether 100000 Of state
bonds, or any other amount, have
been sold or not, One of the blemish-
es OF the present hn-American state
administration is that instead Of act
ing in the open as other state, coun-
ty and municipal organizations do,
they concealed their public accounts
so that no even John Steen, whom
you elected as your state treasurer
has been permitted to learn anything

GERMAN PROPAGANDA

Business firms in Cape Girardeau
are receiving straight from Germany
a newspaper devoted to propaganda
purposes. Its policy Is not to preach
violent pro-Germanism but rather to
extenuate and excuse actions of the
German government subject to criti-
cism and to controvert various accu-
sations made by the Allies. No doubt
this paper and perhaps other publica-
tions are being distributed all over the
country in many thousands. The u.s.
ual form of propaganda INDUCED in
by the American pro-German takes
the form of hostility to Great Britain.
He dare not defend Germany's part in
the war nor her policy of frightfulness
but feels that he is accomplishing
much (which is true) if he is able to
foment or keep alive unfriendliness
between the two great bodies of Eng
disappearing people. Besides he
cherishes an undying hatred for the
country whose entrance into the war
in behalf of the sanctity of treaties
was all that prevented speedy vic
tory for the Kaiser in the first year of
the war.--Cape Girardeau Sun.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-04-22

fits of disarmament. He points out
that the United States, alone, could
save billion dollars year, If the
world would agree to disarm. Then
he shows what saving billion dol
lars year for five years would do.
TIE first billion saved, says Mr.. Max
i'm, would build $4,000 miles of con-
crete roads twenty feet wide--fye
roads extending east and west from
ocean to ocean, and six roads extend
ing north and south from Canada to
/ Mexico. The second billion would
build the intercoastal ship and barge
canal from Boston to Florida, and
leave enough to spend $500, 900, 900 to
dredge and deepen the Mississippi riv-
er from New Orleans to St. Louis, and
the Missouri river to Kansas City.
The third billion would build a great
electrical super-power system, extend
ing from Boston to Washington, con-
Meeting the bituminous coal regions Of
Virginia, the anthracite fields of Penn
sylvania with the sources of water
power on the Niagara and the lower
reaches of the St. Lawrence. 1t is es-
timated that this would save the rail-
roads of the nation half their coal
bills annually through a vast plan of
Identification. The fourth billion
would canalize the St. Lawrence and
make an accessible way for ocean-go-
ing vessels to reach Chicago and the
Great Lakes cities. The fifth billion
would reclaim 100000 acres of arid
lands in the West, and 4,000, 900 acres
wet and cut-over lands in the East
and South, providing 10000 farms,
which could be sold by the govern
ment to small settlers. All this in
five yearsl When it is recalled that
the Treaty Of Versailles provided
definite plan for disarmament, to
which all, of the nations of the earth
agreed except the United States, it is
possible to realize what an insuffera-
BILE folly we have committed. How
long will we continue with this prince
iy waste of the peoples money, when
five years of saving would work all
the wonders Mr.. Maxim points out

STORY OF "A PROMI- sS
NENT BIRTHDAY

Some thousands of millions Of years
ago an enormous sun, probably many
times the size Of Old Sol, undertook
to pass at great speed close to our
sun. Now, even today, the gases in
the interior Of our molten sun are
hung on hair triggers, and often they
explode tremendously. SO that earth
ly telescopes, on occasion, see masses
fly outward for as great distance at
100000 miles, said masses falling
back when they have lost their force
to the surface Of our justly celebrated
orb Of light.
Well, when that tramp sun passed its
gravity--its titanic gravity pull--set
off all the hair triggers in old Soils
raging innards and out burst mass up
on mass of molten rock and other
stuff. But the passing tramp's pull
was SO great that these masses, which
amounted to about one per cent Of the
suns total bulk, shot out extra far this
time, and when they lost their explo-
sive force, they fell into outer space,
one side or the other of the sun, in
stead Of back on to its surface. You
might think that they would follow
the intruder that caused all this mess,
but he was going too fast, and, be-
sides, they were slowed up by the
gravity pull old Sol himself still ex-
erted on them.
They didn't come home, but the. old
boy never let them escape from his
county! They became part Of his ex.
elusive solar system and got to be
called planets, and the earth was one
Of them.
SO, out in space, these planets cir
cled around our own central sun. AS
they cooled off, they began to re-
volve on their axes with such great
speed that they were moulded into
balls.
Very, very briefly, and perhaps i'm
perfectly, this is the story of the ORR
gin of our earth as accepted by all
science today. The mass that was to
be the world of human beings circled
the heavens in darkness, and void of
life for countless ages until Great
Deity parted the black clouds and gave
it light and life and the riches thereof.
1t cannot be that we people who in
habit this globe for short space real
ize the intensity of all that has hap
pened since the birth of the earth
when we make such a hue and cry ov-
er our piffling little human difficult
ties and alleged annoyances that are
not big enough to be pin prick on
the scroll of Time. 1t took millions of
years to raise up single mountain
range; it has taken less than two hun
dred years to raise up humanity from
next to slavery to almost complete lib
erty, and yet we are not satisfied with
the progress of human evolution. Con-
trary to all nature, we would do ev-
erything at once. And overreaching
natures laws, as in Russia, our last
condition will be worse than our first.
Nature is orderly and nature knows
best, folks.

that the existing Tax Commission fur
nishes all the budget system the state
needs.
The referendum is an excellent
means of determining whether the
people approve the specific prograia
presented by the Republicans, and If
the sponsors of these measures are
satisfied as to the outlook, why should
they complain? Why not let the peo-
pie decide the whole question?-Mi

HARD SENSE AND HARD ROADS

HARD SENSE AND HARD ROADS
1t is unfortunate that the entire
membership of the general assembly
could not have been present in Wash
ington when Thos. A. Mcdonald, chief
of the United States Bureau Of Roads,
discussed highway construction and
federal aid with the touring delegation
from the Missouri Legislature would
have been an instructive, though hard
ly enjoyable session for those back
ward, pork-barrell statesmen whose
only interest in the $50 ,000, 900 bond
issue is to get their Dit of the funds.
This was made particularly clear by
Mcdonald: Should the money voted
last November be distributed among
the counties of the state, not only
will $50, 000. 900 be dissipated, but Mis-
souri, will lose $35,OOO,OO0 of federal
money as well. In other words the
adoption of the Hirth idea in highway
construction means the frittering
away of $95, 100000 with nothing to
show for it but disjointed incoherent
mess of dirt trails, built by inexpert
county officials and supervised by ru-
raj spoilsmen.
The question that will come before
the special session Of the legislature
is clear cut:
"Is it better to accept the word Of
government experts and highway en-
gineers of repute generally as to the
proper way Of expanding the SJ0u00,-
900 bond issue to the best advantage
of the state or to follow the advice of
those who are responsible for the
roads?
1t will be we'll for the assembly to
bear in mind that the mud wallows
of Missouri that go by the name Of
construction from moneys pro-rated
highways are the product Of county
from the state funds. There never
has been any substantial general sup
pervision, there never has been a CO.
heent inter-city system, there never
has been an intelligent plan Of pri-
| mary and secondary roads. 1t is not
almost insanity to continue along the
old lines-and that is what the distri
button of the bohd moneys among
the counties will mean-and throw
away the opportunity of $4,000, 900
of federal aid?
The governments demands are not
! difficult to meet. 1t does not even
insist on hard roads throughout the
state in sections where gravel and
dirt will meet the demands of traffic.
These types will be acceptable, pro-
vided that the state agrees to main
tain them and later to surface them.
But the government does insist on a
connected state system of hard-sur-
faced highways. an impossibility if the
expenditure of the $60,000,0OO is left
to the counties.
The situation, briefly. is this:
The United States experts tell us
what is best for Missouri and offer
to give US $50, 100000 if we take their
advice.
Ignorance, backwardness, and self
seeking tell us how to keep Missouri
in the mud and charge US $4,000, 900
for the information.

Shirley Mason, Star

The William Fox production, "The
LampIghter," in which Shirley Mason
viii be seen at the Magic City The
atre, Thursday, July %, is reported
to be an exceedingly dainty picture,
admirably suited to this dainty star.
The story of "The Lamplighter''
was written by Maria Susanna Com
Minis, and the production was directed
by Howard M. Mitchell.
Miss Mason enacts the role of a
young girl, who, as baby, has been
stolen from her mothers arms and
later made to suffer cruelty at the
hands of a vicious woman in charge
of her. After many strange expert
ence, she is restored to her mother
through 'The Lamplighter"-a low
able character who helps assuage the
girls sufferings.
The story is of intensely absorbing
interest, and offers its star, according
to report, one of the most pathetic
roles of her screen career.
