IT'S UP TO ENGLAND.

Members Of the British parliament
declare England was within three
hours Of war with Germany last Sep
tember and the public didn't know
anything about ii. And it seems that
the situation is not yet satisfactory
from the standpoint Of peace, although
both countries have expressed wish
for a betterment of relations.
Sir Edward Grey, secretary Of state
for foreign affairs, voiced this hope in
Parliament last week when he de-
scribed the recent crisis between the
two countries. Yesterday the English
minister's speech was answered in the
Reichstag by Imperial Chancellor

THE M'NAMARA SENTENCES.

Union labor and society in general
are now well rid of the McNamaras,
sentenced yesterday by Jucge Bordwell
at Los Angeles, James b. To life inn
prisonment for the destruction of the
Los Angeles Times building and con-
sequent loss of many lives, and John
]. to fifteen years for blowing up the
Llewellyn Iron Works at Los Angeles.
The court bitterly scored both defend
ants, taking particular exception to
the statement OF James Il. Mcnamara
that he did not intend to take tho life
Of single person when he blew up
the Times plant. and declaring the
circumstances were such that McNa
mara must have had murder i'm his
heart. The court made 1t plain that
the prisoners were not deserving OF
leniency. but that for other reasons
the death penalty would not be in
ficted. Judge Bordwell undoubtedly
took into consideration the fact that
the McNamaras had rendered some
service to the state by imparting in
formation which may lead to the

civilized world. The man living I'm
western Pennsylvania or in Ohio or
In Michigan Is westerner. To the
Ohio man Chicago is a western city.
We in Michigan think westerner
as resident of Arizona or New Mex
leo or California. We do not classify
ourselves as fasteners and yet IL is
worthy of notice that according to the
unanimous opinion OF the western gov
ernors we belong 90 the east.
AS a matter OF fact the term west
is taking on a new meaning. Not many
years ago II meant the lariat, the
sombrero and the Colt. but the differ
cnces between the various parts Of
the country are not so pronounced as
they once were Tho present mission
OF tile western governors is to secure
men not to carry guns, ride ponies
and hunt Indians. but to settle west
ern farming lands, to follow the
peaceful vocation of agriculture. i'm
very much the same way that we want
men to settle some Of the undevelop-
ed lands i'm Michigan And after all il
there is no marked line between east
and west, II it is impossible to tell
where one section leaves off and an
other begins it is an encouraging sign,
for we are one big country and the
lighter the sectional bonds the bet

PENDANTS should withdraw ;aeir pleas
OF not guilty"
Attorney Darrow also issued a state
ment on the case late yesterday In
which he defends the action he took
in advising the McNamaras to plead
guilty. He shows in this statement the
defense had no case that the evidence
against the defendants was oyerwhem-
ms, that not a single thing in It could
be successfully disputed. Nothing but
the gallows at the end" was the only
outcome lie could picture If the case
had been fought out. =" To so on
under such circumstances would have
been madness" he asserts, and only
postpone evil until it would have been
a still greater evil and the consequence
erayer than they are now" So the
outcome, looked at in that lisht. can
oe construed as a victory for Mr. Dar-
row also, and good thing for tho
