OF its time to marching in the par
ade, or languishing in jail, and very
little to the useful pursuits which
might add to the bank accounts.
There's a reason as they say In
Battle Creek, and 1t has lately leak
ed out. In fact, their leader, BIZ
Haywood, who has put up at many
Of the leading jails from Boise to
Bangor, is now preaching it. He Is
advocating the four hour day In
order that his followers will have
more time to march in the parade,
and labor for the good of the order
OF course it wouldn't seem consistent
for believers in the four-hour day
to accept situations where the hours
of toiling and spinning were eight
or ten. Such combining toll might
interfere with the propaganda and
is to be stunned. They don't pro-
pose to be wage slaves as long al
they can live on oratory and torch
lights.

There is a long, intricate state law

Lane who rather than deny the re-

such a noble and consecrated pur-

money that was used in the spread
of knowledge in this territory, and

ed on the testimony of a woman
and has for 40 years declared that
he was innocent. Until now he could
not be paroled, but a recent law
permits life terms in federal prisons
to be paroled, and he will probably
be the first to be released under the
law. The pardon board more thar
half believed his story, and admits
that he may have been innocent. L

MIR. BRYAN TO GIRL. GRADUATES

"I would rather the head were

views to express to young women on
