TOWNLEY VISITS
STATE CAPITAL
Talks With Frazier and
L&nger, But Still Has
Nothing to Say.
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 1.—President
A. C. Townley of the National Non
partisan league and William Lemke,
chairman of the North Dakota Re
publican state central committee and
one of Townley's chief lieutenants at
Et. Paul, dropped in 9unday evening
to inquire into the health of the
league amendments, whose passage
has been questioned in supreme court
by William Byerley, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
and Theodore G. Nelson, secretary of
the Independent Voters' association.
Townley and Lemke took luncheon
•with the governor's weekly round
table Monday evening, but neither in
dulged in any speech-making. There
was considerable oratory on the part
of members of the administration
who are admitted to this inner circle,
bat the. big chief had nothing to say.
He spent a good part of the day clos
eted with Attorney General Langer.
It is understood that while here
President Townley will also investi
gate disclosures made at a recent
stormy session of the state auditing
board, when certain claims for un
used portions of mileage tickets were
aired by State Auditor Kosltzky of
fenders were called on the carpet, and
their expense accounts trimmed to a
total tune of some $300.
It is not known whether President
Townley will remain in the city until
the opening of the session next Tues
day, although he undoubtedly will re
turn for that event, or soon there
after.
Court Says Signature To
Land Deed Was Forgery
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 1.—Judgment
was entered in district court today in
favor of Louis J. Preible of Waseka,
Minn., in his suit against Hans and
1111^^^
Anna Hedahl of Tuttle for the recov
ery of some farming land in north
east Burleigh, to which, the plaintiff
claimed- the defendants had acquired
title through Hhe medium of a forged
deed.
There was no Intimation nor sug
gestion that the defendants had act
ed otherwise than in good faith In
the purchase of the forged deed. It
was proven conclusively, however,
that Preible's signature to this deed
was a forgery and that lie had been
no party to the transaction involving
the transfer of his property.
Hans and Anna Hedahl as a result
of this transaction will lose a consid
erable sum at money. The trial of
the case did not. develop the identity
of the forger. It is understood, how
ever, that criminal proceedings vyill
be instituted by the -defendants
against the parties whom they consid
er guilty.
Attorney Joseph M. Noonan of Wa
seka appeared for the plaintiff, with
Newton, Dullam & Toung of Bismarck
of counsel.
Says New Freight Rates
Would Wipe Out AU Of
State's Jobbing-Business
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 1.—"The
most serious problem North Dakota
ever has had to face is the new zoning
system of freight rates proposed by
Director General McAdoo," said C. N.
Kenlston, secretary of the Bismarck
Commercial club, today. "If these
rates are established. North Dakota's
jobbing business will be wiped out,
and the blow will not fall upon the
cities alone, but will effect the Equity,
the Farmers' union and other co
operative organizations and the farm
ers as individuals. It is something
which vitally affects every citizen of
North Dakota, and it is an injustice
which we must all join in combating."
Secretary Keniston is,in correspond
ence with the Equity and' Farmers'
union, both of which will hold their
state meetings here in January as
guests of the Bismarck Commercial
club, and it is probable that the new
freight rates will be given careful con
sideration at the annual conventions
of these co-operative organizations.
An ounce of assistance is worth a
pound of advice.
Money may not talk, but it cheers
a man up wonderfully.

EL STEAM LAUNDRY
The Elberfeld (Prussia) Freie
Presse says:
CWe all know but too well how Wil
helm II. has sinned, and how he has
caused the belief to be spread
throughout the wJSWd that the Ger
man people were a people of robbers
maddened with the lust for power.
We shall never forget how he con
stantly went out of his way to threat
en all nations.
"Certainly during the war he has
learned something. He has restrained
himself somewhat in his outrageous
passions. This, however, does not
wipe out the old transgressions. A-i
mere confession of sorrow, in words
does not suffice to undo the wrong
that has been perpetrated. Besides,
we have had more than enough ex
perience of th'e conversion of Wilhelm
II.
"How do we know if one day he
may not succeed in persuading his
followers to restore, if they can, the
old intolerable system? No there
can be no such- thing .as peace with
the Hohenzollerns, either, for Wilson
or for the German people. It is sad
enough that it should be left to an
enemy power to become a mighty
ally in our cause before we could
be induced to think of settling ac
counts with this man.
"Yet this account has not been set
tled, npr can it be settled so long as
Wilhelm is permitted to sojourn in
comfort and luxury In a neighboring
country."
The Munich (Bavaria) Post eitos
the reason why, though Germany has
conquered other nations and annexed
them wholly or in part to its territory.
It has never assimilated' their people.
It says:
"Every world-conqueror has under
stood the task of placating the peo
ples he had subjected. The rule tot
the great Napoleon went hand-ln
hand with the spread of the ideas of
the great French revolution. He
overthrew governments and liberated
peoples. With ns the reverse has
been the case.
"We liberated Poland and made an
enemy of her.
"We conquered Ronmania and in
cited her against us.
"We freed'Finland and caused our
selves to be hated by the Finnish
people.
"We liberated border states and
were 'pursued by their cry of hatred
and distress.
"We freed the Ukraine and incurred
the loathing of her~)eople.
'"we freed the Caucasus and gath
ered only the deepest mistrust of the
Causaslan peoples.
'We conquered Rusai- and. paved
the way for the fall of Russian ^abM
lutlsm and turned the reyDlutlqbltry
Russian peoples 'into pur fnemies.,1
"Why? Because-wherever we vtent

government that oppresses ourselves.

"Sad enough," says Hon paper, "that It should he left

Should have dealt with Kaiser long since.
From the Kansas City _Star.
Germany now is looking backward
and fixing the blam'e for the world
war. And she finds no other source
than that "which originated within
herself and which she has so carefully
nurtured for so many years.
The German people were proud of
their military system, which they be
lieved invincible. This feeling was
not universal, of course, but the ma
jor thought of a country is always
reflected pretty clearly in its newspa
pers. The newspaper attitude in Gert
many before the war and now is an
interesting study in contrasts. Then
virtually every paper except'a few So
cialist organs supported the kaiser
and the Bpirit of which he was the
visible manifestation. A few selec
tions from papers in widely separated
sections, of Germany show the view
generally held by the press of the
country today.
"It becomes our, imperative duty
to remove from German politics the
influence of all those who are guilty
pt spreading in Germany^ the super
stition that might and force are the
only things that matter," says the
Volkstimme of Chemnitz, in Saxony.
"It is only by insisting on this ruth
less expurgation that-we can Justify
our own claims on the adversary to
deal with us Justly.
"Wilhelm II. had thirty years of
opportunity to make himself popular
in Germany, but he failed to do so.
His disappearance, of course', does .not
mean, the end of all our internal and
external troubles, but the regime in
Germany has been radically changed
and it is imperative that the fam
ily flag of the Hohenzollerns be flung
into the lumber room.
"The most fearful tragedy in the
world's, history has been enacted. Mil
lions of people have suffered the direst
distress for years. Hundreds of thou
ands have lost their limbs or their
lives for a bloodthirsty mania. Such
things must never happen again
through German guilt. Formerly it
might have been said that he who
unchained a world war did not know
what he -was doing. Today he does
know."

The considerate though Arm methods employed by the American army of occupation in controlling the af
fairs of the German towns fend people in' the occupied territory i* a source of constant surprise to the Germans,
who knew only of the domineering, overbearing methods of Prussian military leaders. The situation in Treves,
the oldest city of Germany, now held by American forces, is typl?al. The American officials deal with the de.
facto authorities there. The workmen's council maintains a commission there and the officers who had been
handling the city's affairs were left in charge. The daily life of tha people has not been altered or hampered.
Those who have business out of the city are given permission to save. One thing is distinctly understood, how

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS
Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason's plain—the ar
ticle did not fulfil the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medi
cinal preparation that has real cura
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy 'that I know of has so
large a sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to
the fact that, so many people claim,
it fulfils almost every wish in over
coming kidney, liver and bladder ail
ments, corrects urinary troubles and
neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad
