Ian lies the greatest danger OF mill
itary rule, and as evidence OF its
pitiless effects where civil author
iiy is set aside, one has to go no
further than Wardner for an OBJ
ject lesson. Since martial law was
declared in Shoshone county over
500 men have been arrested. Some
oil them have died in the bull pen,
and many are sick. their wives and
children denied the privilege OF
visiting them. Nearly 400 OF the
men arrested. after weeks of secret
examination by parties doing ev-
erylhing in their power to incrlm-
mate them, have been released,
there being absolutely no evidence
of their guilt. Thus it will he
seen that when civil authority
steps aside and military rule takes
its place there is but little attempt
to discriminate against the guilty
and the innocent.
