THE NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE - OPERATIONS IN NEBRASKA Alvo. Nebr., April 20, 191S. To the Editor :- The Non-partisan articles that aie now published in our daily press sent i from non-partisan league offices at St. Paul, signed "Non-partisan League" by W. W. Liggett, of St. Paul, trying to defend Townley, President of the League, and to cov er up their disloyal work, and pluck Nebraska farmers of $16.00 a piece should never be published in cur daily papers. They state that the farmers of North Dakota have lost money by a dockage system in their state; also that there are more cars of No. 1 wheat shipped from terminal elevat ors than received; that the terminal elevators buy wheat for No. 2 aud ship it out for No. 1; the facts are wheat in Minnesota and in eastern Dakota whfre rain fall is normal bleaches in the shock and fal's be low the test required for No. 1 wheat. The terminal elevator and mills also buy wheat the same time from the dry region of the Dp.kotas and Montana that is hard and dry and tests more than is required for No. 1 wheat and by mixing they can get out a large per cent of No. 1 wheat. The same is true in Nebras ka. The terminal elevator at Omaha or Kansas City buys our eastern Ne braska wheat where rain fall is nor mal and it conies from the shock testing 57 and 58 lbs. and grades No. 3. Our mills and eleva'Srs at the same time buy wiicat from western Nebraska that is hard and dry, and tests from fiO to 63 lbs. By raixi.ig the two and cleaning it they make it test 60 lbs. grades No. 1 and No. 2 This enables them to pay more and they do pay more for our wheat, and especially the low grades than they could if they had to grind each sep arately and be compelled to make a low grade of flour out of the low grade wheat. In a small way, we do the same thing at our country eWat tors. We mix what we get and grade it up. The difference In the dock age system, docking spring wheat in the north that is full of weed seeds by taking off 2 lbs. to the bushel for weed seeds or from 2 to 5 cents per bushel is nothing to the farmer?. The net price received is just the same. We don't dock wheat in pounds at countrv elevators in Nebraska: it don't contain foul seed to any great extent like northern whtat. Our Kansas and .Nebraska winter wheat covers the ground early and smoth ers the weeds. We are now under IT. S. Govern ment inspection at all markets in the United States, and have been since Jul1, and there is not a word of truth in any of these non-partisan .articles in regard to the grad'ng of grain in either Nebraska or Dakota. Our grain is all graded at all termi nal markets by disinterested govern ment inspectors. Those non-partisan articles are all camouflage to cover up their tracks. They say they want to improve market conditions for wheat. Was it market conditions for wheat they were adjusting whon they sent lobbyists to the special session of our legislature to kill the Sedition Bill and the Potash Bill? Was to improve the market condi tions for wheat when they got a member of the non-partisan league who was also a member of the legis lature to rise in his seat, and offer free transportation to the entire leg islature in automobiles (that would have cost hundreds of dollars) to a distant county to the town of Wahoo to attend a disloyal meeting that they hoped to hold in Wahoo. but were prohibited from so doirg by the loyal people of Saunders County. (Only four member went and the leader fooled three of those into go ing by his deception.) The Non-partisan league was the only party that fought the Sedition B4II, all other parties vere loyal, and did not fear the Sedition Bill. The Non-partisan workers are com posed of two classes, the officers and men like Evans and Wood paid agents, draw salaries and commis sions. The other workers aie re tired farmers who are promised the office of Governor. Uniled States Senator, etc., and are deceived into working for the league. Their craze for office makes them throw their loyalty to the winds. We thank the lord that there nre only two promi nent farmers of this class in the State of Nebraska. During the Civil war, the northern branch of the Democratic party re mained loyal; the Republican party was loyal, and in order to have a party to work with, southern spies and disloyal men in the north organ ized a Copper-head party called the Knights of the Golden Circle. In the present war, the foreign spies know that the Democratic party would remain loyal; they knew the Republican party would he loyal, so in 1915, one year after the present war commenced, disloyal men a.d j foreign spies floated the non-partisan lcague, In the wheat districts of the North Dakota, they organized the same kind of a party under a differ ent name. In the wheat districts of 0 tt7ii DDrin&r win ML J ere AND WE WANT TO TELL YOU THAT WE ARE ON DECK WITH A FINE LINE OF Work Cloves, Hats Staw and Felt. Also, Caps for Spring and Summer. Fine line of Work and Dress Shirts at prices below normal. Puis & Gansemer, MURRAY, NEBRASKA Argentine and also in Russia. They want to discourage the farmer in re gard to raising wheat. They pre tend to be the farmers friend, while the cold facts are they are the farm ers deadliest enemy. What more evidence can the Nebraska farmers want against the non-partisan league. The United States Govern ment officials investigated them and found them disloyal, and arrested their leaders, some of them are now out under bonds. The state officials of Minnesota investigated them and found them guilty. Townley, the president of the league, admitted at a hearing that he helped organize the peoples Council that Gov. Lowd en of Illinois had to call out the troops to suppress. Our 11 members of the Council of Defense, in Ne braska, investigated them, and con demned them. The Farmers Union officers of Nebraska investigated their workings, and refused to en dorse them. Mr. Shorthill. who is the head officer of a line of farmers elevators in Nebraska, condemns them. Judge Slama of Wahoo, one of the most patriotic men in this state, investigated them and -found hem guilty. They have two sources from which they may get money to operate with, the $16.00 a head they pluck from Nebraska farmers, and what they may receive from foreign spies. JOHN MURTEY. LOUISVILLE HIGH SCHOOL PAND. From Monday's Dailj. The people of Plattsmouth and the management of the Red Cross Fair, should have a warm spot in their hearts for the High School band of Louisville, for their portion in the making of the fair a success. At their own expense they came down to "Plattsmouth and' played, the special numbers which everybody emjoyed and marched in the parade. AH tiit was done to bear their expenses was that they were given their supper. They hired their transportation, and came with a good will and encour aging disposition. This looks good to us, in the matter of their work lor the cause, it being unselfish, and showing they wanted to serve. FALLS AND BREAKS HIP. From Monday's Dally. Yesterday morning while L. II. Kearnes was out on the back porch of his home on north Eighth street, he slipped and fell, breaking his hip bone, which added to the matter of his having been very sick before making his condition very grave. Mr. Kearnes whose health has not ben good for some time has been very patient in his suffering and has born the "pain of his sickness herotically, but this added suffering will make it even more difficult to bear. PLAYED GOOD BALL YESTERDAY From Monday's Daily. Charles Gradoville at the game yesterday played good ball, in ibe position of catcher. We have had a good catcher heretofore in Mr. Her old, but he said with the limited number of players, it would be neces sary to take some other place, and asked Mr. Gradoville to take his place as catcher. Charlie made some extra good plays, and no one was dis appointed in his work. . THEY HAVE ALL TAKEN THE FIFiY From Monday's Daily.

The boys are doing their part over tln--e, let us get after our's Iktc. Ti;i- matter of five dollars p r inynth i. what most any of us can do. TJ e president has asked for one million, to take home of this matter, will you be one of the number. This will make $r.0,uoo,otift.to but then that will be taken and more to We should take five times that amount .and not feel it. But the government will.be sustained by it.
