destroy" "extermnate, so that
when we say "taiji" and "bokumet-
su' we mean that these people are
to be excluded from our society;
they are to be suppressed; they are
not to be allowed to come into our
meetings. come to our councils, learn
our plans. and then go of to their
employers and tell what everybody
avs and what everybody did.
Just one word more about boku-
metsu and these horrible words and
then | will leave you on this subject.
Mr. Kinney In his address told you
that you must beware of side issues;
that we are only concerned with the
tails" and the "bOkumetsus" OF
the Jill, We tried to show you a
great number of articles from other
papers but were not allowed, but we
do have one single bokumetsu, or, |
think. two bokumetsus, used by the
other people. We know that Mr..
Sheba used the same words,-"We
must now then use the iron fist:
That is in evidence and am allow
ed to speak about It. I'VE must
use," says Mr.. Sheba, the iron fist"
But when "the iron fist" is used in
the Jill 1t means one thing and when
1t is used in the Shinpo 1t means an
altogether different thing. gentle
men of the jury. When 1t is used
in the Jill 1t represents physical
force, physical violence, and when
1t Is used in the Shinpo or in the
Jiyu 1t is a perfectly harmless little
expression. soft, nice, clear as ica-
not like that sword, sharp and clear
like ice and glistening water-no,
beautiful expression of love and af-
lection! Isn't that It?
So you see this is delusive fell
low. this Taiji, awfully delusive fell
low. It is something like catching
flea; you think you have him and
there you haven't. We think we
know the meaning of the word
"taiji" and We see II over and over
again in the Jill and 1t means there
physical force, but when We turn
around and find that the good Mr..
Sheba. the planters man, is using
1t, then 1t does not mean force at
all; 1t means something else.
So the word "bokumetsu.' We
have two bokumetsrs. We have the
word "bokumetsu" as applied to the
newspaper, used in the Jiyu, but It
is harmless there; It is perfectly
| harmless there. You must under
stand this is funny sort of word,
funny kind 1t means one thing
in the Jill but 1t means altogether
another kind in the Jiyu. In the
Jill 1t means violence, determination,
like the cholera germ, but when 1t
is used in the Jiyu, oh, It is word
that the angels In heaven would
have used; such nice word Oh, II
is such ID really think that as
the angels circle around they use
the word 'bokumetsu," Forever
and forever, bokumetsu, bokumetsu,
bokumetsu. but the BOKUMETSU
that is used in the Jiyu. and not the
bokumetsu used in the Jill! You
want to bear that in mind, gentle
men, and when you get up above,
II ever you do get up there, don't
whatever you do, get the two boku-
metsus mixed up or someone may
take you by the scruff of the neck
md send you to the other place. You
must be very sure that you only use
the bokumetsu a la Jiyu, a la Shinpo,
but don't, whatever you do, use the
bokumetsu as used in the Jill or
else you will be in for 1t.
Now Mr.. Kinney says 1--WE will
defy you to bring this bokumetsu
hat applies to person; the boku-
netsu you have trotted out only APP
plies to a thing. Now we will Just
iefy you, In the whole of the files of
The Jiyu, the whole of the files of
the Shinpo and the whole of the files
OF the Chronicle, we will defy you
to bring bokumetsu that applies to
the person" Now then, we hadn't
time to go through all these files,
but we found one, and that was
'bout the kahuna, I'VE want to 20
after the kahunas." Now these are
very bad people and we are to boku-
netsu the kahuna, aren't we? But
bokumetsu la Shinpo, bokumetsu
IN this angelic fashion, Is not at all
the same sort of thing that is used
In the Jill.
Figures Of Speech.
Now isn't that Just about the
Whole of the story? | am not going
through all these articles with
magnifying glass; ! have something
better to do, ] say to you, gentle
men of the jury, that you have
right to take the testimony of the
defendants that these words are used
as figure of speech, the words os-
