THE NoNPARr1sAN INVASION

Under the caption, "Townleyism as
a Disease" the Minneapolis (Minn.)
Tribune reviews the experiences of
that state with the North Dakota con-
tagion and offers some advice to Kan
sas. The Tribune's article follows:
Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas
have met the threatened invasion by
Townley in the same spirit as that in
which a healthy community would
greet a pestilence Thrown back from
their assault on Minnesota, the sedi-
ton germ breeders, who had been well
on their way to a cure in the increas-
ingly anti-socialism atmosphere of
North Dakota where the Townley con-
ia gion first ravaged, sought more
promising fields OF havoc by migrating
South.
But their coming was not without
warning. A strict quarantine against
the Townley plague was established in
all the states. both sides of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers. from
South Dakota to Texas. Townley and
his organizers could not break into
Nebraska or Oklahoma, but they
sneaked by the quarantine barriers
in Kansas and established their head
quarters at Salina, where they have
been met by Commander o. A. Kitter-
the American Defense League of Kan
sas with the same kind of enthusiasm
as that with which men of healthy
minds and bodies greet those affected
with smallpox.
AS in all cases where a struggle is
on against seditious teachings, so in
the defense now on in Kansas against
Townley socialism, there are the
quasi-pacifists and the '1et-'em-alone'
5xrie ,Hn rorafond fn thaf
publicity of Townley works out in his
favor as advertising helpful to his at
tempted perversion of the farmers
vote.
It was in following such suggestions
of contemptuous disregard and silence
that the sound-government citizens
and press of Minnesota made at first
their grievous mistake in wardfng OFF
the recent Townley onslaught on this
state. Townley's phrasemakers took
| advantage of the inaction of their OPP
ponents and the disease of socialism
! spread to an alarming degree, Just be-
cause the teachings of loyalty were toe
much withheld.
| 1t was not until the intensive cam
lpaign of the past year when the real
nature and purposes of Townleyisnl
were made known turnout this state
that the safeguards of sound govern
ment were so strengthened that de-
tmocracy was made safe for Minnesota
An infectious Or contagious disease
can only be conquered by active coun-
teracting restoratives: and in such
cases the truth of the old saying is
again verified, that an ounce of pre-
vention is worth more than pound OF
cure. The blood of the patient mus
be Kept pure in order that it may sup.
ply to the system sufficient of those
health-giving elements necessary for g
successful fight against disease.
The same rule applies to the cure
and prevention of diseased views OF
government The best preventive is &
constant publicity of healthful views
The only cure is educational activity
by which the poisonous effect of per
lverted doctrines may be overcome BY
Establishing healthful and sane public

HELPERS.
Here's what my father used to say:
"Skill may come to you some day;
Maybe later on you'll find
You possess gifted mind,
But, aItho you've skill or not,
Being willing helps lot.
Life is queer and we can't tell
WHY some boys can learn to spell
And others find it hard to do;
It may be that way with you,
But, tho great your gift or not,
Being honest helps lot.
"Be content with progress slow,
Glad to pay as you shall go;
Rrilliance of minds not all
Many clever man may fall;
Make the most of what you've got,
Being cheerful helps lot
"There's a better gift than skill,
It's the proper sort of will
Will to serve and will to learn,
Standing fast at every turn;
Irksome be your work or not,
Being faithful helps lot.
Later on you'll come to know
Greatness ISN'T born OF SHOW,
Skill is useful to possess,
Sometimes needed for success
But. tho brilliant or not
Being willing helps a lot

FIFTY NEW EAGLES

With heed to the oneoming Of Christ.
mas and all that it means in the hearts
Of mortals; with spirit feelingly fol-
those in distress and afflicted; and
amidst all, just a thought of the
brighter side Of life, the Fraternal
Order OF Eagles met in regular Decem-
Der session last night at their club
house on the lake and unanimously and
heartily voted 500 to the community
Christmas fund; $40 to the St. Gather
ines hospital Christmas stocking fund;
$40 to buy Christmas seals to aid the
anti-tuberculosis work; and in many
other ways the Eagles did what only
real Good Fellows will do.
New Years Eve Dancing Party.
The annual custom of the lodge to
observe New Years Eve as family
affair was the subject of much discus
sion. The Eagles for some years have
run the public dancing parties held on
Saturday nights at the clubhouse,
which have been a great success. But
New Years Eve this year comes on
Saturday night, and it was up to the
lodge to decide what to do.
Scores of requests from the general
public asked the Eagles to stage the
regular public dancing party on New
Years Eve, due to the fact that it is
the largest and best dance hall in the
city. The demand of the public did
not go unheeded.
President Schmitx Presides.
President Anthony Schmitz, who pre-
sided at the meeting, addressed the
members in an eloquent way, urging
the members not to ignore or overlook
the public in their demand, and realiz-
ing the great assistance of the public,
through the dances, in helping to clear
all debts on the handsome clubhouse.
After statistics of facts and figures,
interest and consideration, the lodge
voted to grant the public request for
a public dance at the Eagles clubhouse
on New Years Eve. The dance will be
run until midnight and the most strict
order will be maintained, which has
been the successful policy in the past
An orchestra second to none will be
provided for the evening.
Initiate Large Class.
During the business session Of the
lodge, nearly fifty new members were
indicted into the order with impressive
cerem onies. The new members were
heartily welcomed by the two hundred
members present at the meeting.
A new drive for members is now on
and will be vigorously pushed imme-
diately liter the holidays.
The entertainment committee met
Immediately after the lodge meeting
and laid plans for a private get-togeth-
er Of members and their families.
