That was what Taft meant when
he issued his pardon" to Warren.
Fooled in that attempt and livid
with wrath he let go only to get n
fresh hold. Now the attack has
been renewed more ferceIy than
ever, with four years of defeat cry
ing for vengeance and satisfied with
nothing short of determination.
The indictments are mere means
of launching the attack. The grand
jury abs had to play its part in the
farcal prellminaries. There is
nothing that lends itself more read
lily to the ruling class in it's machi-
nations to keep the people in slavery
than the petty inquisition known as
the grand Jury. Il is here that the
patriots of the plutocracy sine in
all its glory. A picture of an an
erage grand jury convened to indict
and put in letters men who are seek
ing to break the letters of others
present an interesting study in SER
Witty and asinity posing as the en-
bcdiment of law and Justice.
My only regret is that I am not
included in the Indictment of my
editorial associates and I am in
clined to feel that l have been re-
miss in my duties or I would not
have been overlooked. But all the
same the indictments covers me,
even if | am not named in it. The
personalities are of comparative I'M
Importance. 1t is the Appeal they
are after and they are an1y attack
ing its publisher and editor as a
means of destroying the paper.
When the shocking state of ar
fairs at
the Appeal and subsequently admit
ted by a reluctant capitalist govern
ment, is taken into account, the
wonder is that even the degenerate
lackeys in public office would have
the nerve to indict men for having
the moral courgae to turn the search
Hght on such Sodom and put an
END to the unspeakable iniquities
practiced by wolfish grafters upon
the hapless victims placed in their
custody. And yet upon second
thought it is not strange that these
indictments have been found, thar
"ayland, Warren and Phifer are to
De sent to the penitentiary and the
Appeal crushed by the iron heel of
the government for having outraged
the ruling masters by bringing to
ll&ht the fostering crimes which con-
stltute the sources of their profits
and the main-stays of their rotten
regime.
At all hazards the truth must he

ignorance of the corruption which
stcWs and SINNERS at the base of the
capitalist fabric in which political
maEgots riot and from which official
vermin draw their inspiration. To
tell the truth about these reekinc
rascals is a mortal offense and to
have yourself charged with being the
author of the filth you are seeking
to uncover
mus 1t is that these menials of
the masters are pointing the finger
OF guilt at the men whose mouths
they have been unable to stoD and
