Snubbed!

The horrid news is printed in all the news
papers-the news that Mitchell was snubbed
There is nothing that rifles me quicker and
deeper than to read horrid news about snubs.
[ am dead down on all sorts of snubs, for
myself am acquainted with the whole family
of them, and there is not one of the bunch that
looks good to me.
Consequently a fellow feeling makes me
wondrous kind to Mitchell and his feelings
of Indignation find responsive throb in my
chest.
BY the way, you may want to know who
Mitchell is, and how, when, where and by
whom he was snubbed.
First and foremost, Mitchell is Chairman of
the Georgia Commission which is supposed to
embodv the State of Georgia at the James,
town Exposition.
The snubbing occurred at the alleged open
ing exercises, where President Roosevelt
made another Speech and inspected another
naval display and touched another BUTTON for
an Exposition which lacks few months of
being ready to do the rest.
It seems that Joe Terrell, nominal Governor
of Georgia, was to have been present at the
Jamestown opening, to Sepresent the State

1t was bad day for Our friend Mitchell
In spite of the fact that he was, for the time,
the State of Georgia personfed, he was TN
mistakably snubbed Nobody seemed to
know who Mitchell was. Nobody seemed to
care. No mortal saw him from afar in the
shivering throng and becboned him to come
up higher. No committee of reception and
entertainment came smiling Hospitality to
greet the personifed State of Georgia, and to
give Mitchell that "me and the President
feeling which is SO warming to the heart and
inspiring to the soul. If there was any
charmed circle reserved for the salt OF the
earth, Mitchell was not invited into it. With
callous disregard of consequences, the
jamestown authorities left Mitchell to take
care of himself.
No funkey showed him where to 60 and
what to do. AS though he were mere crca-
ture of ordinary clay, he was ignored. Off
cially, he had no existence. AS plain Mr..
Mitchell he was there all right enough, just
as were plain Mr.. Brown and Mr. Jones and
Mr.. Smith. But Mitchell, as the embodi-
ment of TIE grand old empire state of Geor-
gia, was not there at all. That is his griev-

ly, for he was not in attendance. Therefore,
the responsibility and dignity of carrying
himself like the embodiment of the Empire
State of the Sunny South, fell upon our friend
Mitchell 1t was not a good day to act the
part for the weather was nasty. Indeed it

and Haywood, the United States flag was run
down and trampled upon.
Going still further, certain speakers at the
meeting declared, amid a wild applause, that
"our hcrs''-Moyer and Haywood shall
not be killed" In other words, if found guilty
by court and Jury Of one of the foulest most
coward1v and most wiful murders in the his
tory of crime, they shall not be punished.
The speakers at the San Francisco meeting
declared that they would resort to arms
rather than allow "our brothers to be killed"
Similar meetings. with similar speeches,
have been held in Chicago and New York.
and immense sums of money have been raised
for the alleged purpose of paying the legti-
mate expenses of securing fair trial for the
accused. 1t is sail that the purpose is to
raise fund Of one million dollars.
What for?
No such amount Of money is necessary to
the employment of lawyers and other legiti-
mate costs of the trial. There must be some
other plan on foot-what is it?
The Tefersonian has taken no part in the
campaign either for or against Meyer and
Haywood They are entitled to the legal
presumption of innocence until their guilt is
established by evidence,
At the same time, the showing against these
men was, on the face of it, amply sufficient to
create the imperative demand that they be
tried according to law.
IF they are shown to be guilty, and the law
should condemn them to death, thev should
be executed-if it takes every soldier Of every
state in the Union to enforce the sentence.
The revolutionary Socialists who are chal-
lenginG the strength Of the government should
be dealt with inst as we would deal with any
other public enemy that should defy the law
and trample upon the flag.

Sensible Jerome Jones: Labor Leader.


lowing:
Jerome Jones, editor of the Journal of
Labor, and former President of the Fedora
ton of Trades, was asked Monday morning
if the working men of Atlanta would contrib
ute to the fund. There has been no meeting
called said Mr.. Jones, TO consider the ques
ton and | do not anticipate that one will be
called.
" We will not, in my opinion said another
prominent labor leader, 'meddle in this affair.
If these men are guilty of numbering Cover
nor Steunenburg, they should be hanged, and
it seems that the funds already raised are quite
sufficient to give them fair trial. PERSONAL
w, | agree with President Roosevelt, and be-
leve that they are undesirable citizens, any

1t is refreshing to find labor leader who
has not been swept off his feet by the Socialist
agitation in favor of Meyer, Haywood and
Pcttibone The extent to which the unions
of the great cities of the West and the North
have been carried away in this senseless cru-
sade has already seriously compromised the
legitimate work of union labor.
The Governor of Idaho was murdered in
a manner which indicated deliberate, we'll
matured plan This Governor had incurred
the deadly hostility of the Western Federation
of Miners and threats had been made against
his life The record of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners warrants the belief that some
of it's leaders belonged to the class of desper
ate criminals-men whose morbid minds were
saturated with such intense Class-hatred that
they honestly considered themselves justified
in committing any crime to advance the cause
of revolutionary Socialism
Judging by the published reports, there was
ample evidence to cause the authorities Of
Idaho and of Colorado to suspect that Meyer
and Haywood officials of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, had brought about the
murder of Governor Steunenburg. That evil
dence would be sufficient to cause any honest
and fearless court to commit the accused for
trial In no land on earth where law and or
der prevail, would the authorities hesitate to
arrest and hold these men for trial. without
bail.
Now, under Our law, may remain at my
home in Georgia, hire an assassin to kill some

cess the Governor of Georgia surrenders
me to the Governor of New York in precisely
the same manner that the Governor of Colo
<rado surrendered Meyer and Haywood to the
Governor of Idaho.
Yet the revolutionary Socialists have been
moving heaven and earth to commit labor un-
ions to the horrible proposition that because
the Governors of the two states kidnapped
the accused, they shall not be punished for
the murder of Steunenburg, EVEN THOUGH
CONVICTED ACCORDING TO LAW.

date Mrs. Phillips now claims the shoot
ing occurred.
The states new theory is that IT would
have been easy for Adams after the shoot
ing early In the morning to travel to
Mason's cabin in time to take part in the
birthday dinner at which his presence is
80 well attested. All this new evidence the
defense is now able to exclude.
While II is believed here that this start
ling change in the aspect OF the trial
renders Adams conviction of the murder
OF Tyler dificult. It is not believed he has
any chance of regaining his liberty at the
present time. He is wanted by the state
as one OF It's most important witnesses in
the approaching trial of Meyer Haywood
and Pettibone, officers of the Western
Federation OF Miners for the assassination
OF Former Governor steunenberg.
At least three courses are open to the
state--it can hold Adams for trial for the
murder Of Boule. which crime he confessed
to Detective Mcfarland; can hold him for
completely IN the Steunenberg murder,
also mentioned in his confession. or may
send him to Colorado to be tried for TAX
ing part in blowing up the depot at indie
pendence, where several non-union miners
were killed.

MURDER CASE NEAR CLOSE
Evidence in RebuttaI Being Onered
in Trial of Virginian
Brothers.

aCULPEPPER, Va, March Common
wealths Attorney J. A. C. Keith today be-
gan the presentation of his evidence in re-
buttal in his attempt to shatter the plea
of Justification advanced by the defense
for James A. and Philip Strother. on trial
here for the murder of William Bywaters,
their brother-in-law.
The commemorative attorney has adj
vised the court that the state expects to
complete its rebuttal in one day.
Although the names of the witnesses for
the rebuttal have. not been announced, ac-
cording to Captain Micajah Wood, asso-
ciated in the prosecution, they viii be
called mainly to show that when Bywaters
married Viola Strother he made full repair
alton for the wrong he il alleged by the
defense to have done her and that the
shooting was therefore not justified.
DR.. Charles H Clark of St. Elizabeth's
government asylum for the insane IN
Washington was the first witness called
today. He testified he had had fourteen
years experience in the practice Of medi-
cine, chiefly confined TO cases Of mental
disorder.
Mr.. Moore OF the defense submitted a
lengthy Hypothetical question, reciting all
the facts of the pending case as claimed
by the defense and concluding by asking
the witness how he would characterize the
act of homicide committed under such cir
cumstanoes.
Before witness could reply Mr.. Keith OBJ

that the defendants were armed and had
intended to do, under certain conditions

WINS FROM WILLIAMS
Topeka Man Starts out Well, but IL
Weak at Finish.


Ed Courtney of Omaha was given the
decision by Referee Loeb over Ed
Williams of Topeka In ten-round go at
Osthoffs hall Friday night before a crowd
of 400 men. The bout was nip and tuck
all the way through, with first one having
the better of 1t and then the other, but
Courtney finished the stronger and was
given the decision.
There was some wrangling at the outset
because Courtney was FIVE pounds over
weight and weighed seven pounds more
than Williams, but Williams finally con-
scented to go on. He had few hackers be-
fore the opening, as he looked scared but
after the first round he was the favorite
He had a haymaker punch and was a
decided outfghter, while Courtney was best
at inhghting. The fourth round was all
Williams, who started a fire on Court
ney's nose In the fifth Courtney rallied
and had all the better of 1t. In the seventh
Courtney knocked Williams down, but the
Topeka lad was up at the count Of three.
Williams was down again in the eighth. In
the tenth Williams came up strong and
worked hard for a decision, but he wore
himself out and was only able to hang
on at the finish, so Referee Loeb gave
Courtney the decision.
The preliminary was a lively six-round
bout between Joe Gathright and Mickey.
No decision was given In this.
Mccartney OF Council Bluffs and Guy
Buckles of Omaha will box fifteen rounds
at the same place next Friday night.
