FRED WARREN WILL BE
LIONIED-SPUDY I'm JAIL.
BY PETER POWER.

When Fred Warren, editor OF
the Appeal to Reason, starts for
Fort Scott, Kas., to begin his six
months term of Imprisonment, his
trip will be more in the nature
of a triumphal procession than
that of a culprit being dragged
to jail.
Warren must serve six months
at hard labor and pay a fine of
$500 because he Offered a re-
ward of $1,000 to anyone who
would kidnap ex Gov. Taylor and
deliver him to the Kentucky au-
thorities, to stand trials on the
charge of completely in the MUIR
der of Gov. Goebel.
The United States supreme
court ruled in the Moyer-Hay-
wood-Pettibone case that the kid
mapping of those workingmen by
the Idaho authorities was legal.
AS matters now stand, the
courts have decided that kidnap-
ing is legal when the victims are
poor men, but Illegal when the
victim is rich man.
: Thus enlightened, fellow en-
ployes of Warren and half of the
people of Girard will accompany
him to the prison door.
En- route to Jail he will be Civ
en- an ovation at every cross
roads; and Fort Scott is prepar-
ing to don its gaia attire to give
the fighting little editor a warm
welcome.
Then ON Feb. 12-Lincoln g
birthday-mass meetings Will be
held in every city and town in
the country to protest against
judicial jugglers.
While in prison Warren will
study during hds leisure hours, to
more fully develop himself as a
public speaker, and when he is
released the biggest auditoriums
in this country will be engaged
In which TO hold Warren mass
meetings.

the principles of retrenchment and

the secretary of the navy, with
the approval of President Taft, TO
abandon the useless training and

quarters were actually abandoned
when Senator Tillman heard the

his visit the orders were reversed
and the officers and men have
