The task of identifying, by j. j. Nc.

Among the correspondence identified

Lake iron workers official, under indict.
ment, and ]. i Mcnamara, confessed
dypamiter, now in prison,
Munsey is the defendant who is al
legged to have secreted in Salt Lake !

Copies of the Bridgmen s magazine,

unions that, despite tie union IS consti-
tutional provision that all receipts and
disbursements be published once q
month, it was deemed advisable not to
publish anything but the receipt.
The government says this was done
go the union could spend its moneys for
dynamitings and the action brands the
entire executive board as conspirators
against the gvernment.
The defense claims the executive
board took this action to keep the non
nnion contractors il was striking
against from knowing its financial con-
dition from time to time.

A NOTE Of warning was issued
by Judge Gary at the recent Le-
high Club dinner, when he stated
that There are things said at the
present time akin to things said
just prior to the French revolu-
tion, and in my opinion there is
danger. | do not waive the flag
OF distress, but the situation ap-
pears serious to me. Unless capi-
ta1ists, corporations and men of
great wealth and power take a
leading position in improving con-
ditions from time to time, there
will be changes made later on by
the mob.' II Judge Carey re-
fers to the American voters as
1.-the mob,''- he is doubtless cor
rect. For unless there is change
made by those in power and by
those an-powerful in government
as it exists today, the American
freeman will some day awake to
his duty and make Of these United
States what our forefathers in
tended-a government Of, by and
for the people.

THE recall, inculcated in the
Virginia city charter and by some
claimed to be un-American and
contrary to the constitution of
the United States, continues to
trouble politicians and those who
would feed at the public trough,
but has no terror for the common
voter whose only thought is for
the betterment Of government,
whether it be municipal, state or
national. The recall, however,
has precedent in the annals of
American history which gives it
a place in the arena. One hun
dred and thirty-five years ago, on
the 18th Of November, 1777, GER
tain representatives of the people
OF thirteen war-worn states adopt
ed a constitution which they call
ed the ARTICLES of Confedera-
tion.' Article V of this docu-
nent reads as follows: "For the
convenient management of the
general interests of the United
States delegates shall be annually
appointed in such a manner as the
legislature of each state shall d.
rect, to meet in congress on the
first Monday Of November in ev.
cry year, with power reserved TO
each state to recall its delegates.
or any of them, at any time with
in the year, and to send others in
their place for remainder of the
year, The recall has had a place
in American politics since that
time, but the people are just now
awaking to the fact that it is
about time to exercise the princi-
pie in many cases; and the ju-
dietary should not be the more ex-
empt than are others who owe
their position to the elective fran
chise Of Z tree people. s.:..z..;. : z. ): !

WANTS ONE SUNDAY
SERVICE FOR ALL

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. Miss Mary
Reynolds Garter. a popular and pretty
Atlanta girl, is at the head Of move
ment that has for its object the con-
version of Atlantas auditorium, with
its great organ and choir of three
hundred voices, for Sunday morning
religious service to embrace all peo-
pies and all nationalities and TO
eliminate church distinctions of creed
and tradition. Miss Carriers idea is
being championed by the famous Sat
urday Night club, one of the most in
t'uential organizations in Atlanta.
Miss Carter stresses the fact OF
Americas opolitanism-the many
races and creeds gathering here TO
make nation-and how divergence
Of religious thought tends to separte
members of the same city, state and
national governments, so that the
best results are impossible Of attain
Taent. She believes-and the people
OF Atlanta apparently believe with
her-that a great catholic service
once a week would go far towards
breaking down the barriers and es-
tablishing religious unity. Miss Car
ter believes that if this country is
TO be an example to the world of re-
ligious and political freedom, old world
traditions must be wiped out.
