PATRIOTISM AND THE FLAG.

The following editorial which re
Gently appeared in the Daily Wiscon-
sin State Journal is so apropos and
timely that we reproduce it for the
benefit of the readers of the Leader:
President-elect Wilson recently
said: at is believed in this country
that a poor man has less chance to
get justice administered to him than
a rich man" He added: God forbid
that that should be generally true"
So say we all Therefore, perhaps
it is up to US to inquire: is the belief
true?
In just one days crop of news,
taken at random, We read:
A judge of the court of commerce
impeached for grafting-he had
tried to levy blackmail on rich liti-
giants before his court.
Bill passed senate at Washington
requiring that all evidence in equity
cases be heard in public-such law
had become necessary because fed
eraI judges in Massachusetts, in a
government suit against the Shoe
Machinery Trust had, at the trusts
instance, ordered the doors closed
which even Atty. Gen. Wickersham
admitted tended TO defeat the ends OF
justice.
At great pains the government had
got grand jury to indict presidents
of the New Haven and Grand Trunk
railroads for conspiring to restrain
trade; but defendants lawyers have
discovered "a flaw in the Indictment
which will "mean months of delay"
To inquiries whether reports were
true that the conspiracy indictments
against the president of the Wooden
Trust and others for planting" dyna-
mite in Lawrence last winter were
about to be dropped, the district at
torney in Boston made no answer
yet we remember that though Ettor
whom the dynamite planters tried &c
get, was kept in Jail 10 months with
out bail, on a false charge, William
Wood, when arrested, calmly laiC
down five crisp 1000 bills as bail am
smilingly stepped to freedom.
Finally, by way of coincidence, in
dispatch describing the parade Of
$4,000 striking garment workers il
New York, we are told that red flags
were scattered all through the line
of marchers. Only one American fiag
was shown"
The instinct of people is general
ly right. When honest workers III
great masses turn from an accepted
symbol like the Red, White and Blue
it doesn't necessarily mean that they
lack in patriotism. AS a matter o
fact, as a class they are intensely pa
triotic, intensely devoted to higf
ideals. What it means is that they
have come to look upon that symbO
as not standing for what its admirers
all ought to wish it to stand for-free
dom and justice.
Isn't it, then, better worth oul
while to try to make the America
flag stand staunchly for those grea
blessings than to quarrel because PEG
who don't think it does don't shar'
our enthusiasm for it?
The day that the poor man feels h.
has a fair show before the law in thi
country as the rich man and as mucl
of voice in making it, that day viii
see Old Glory proudly saluted ans
revered wherever workingmen as
semble. That day is drawing nearer

satisfactory and reliable that it is being

new work being undertaken by otherfail-
roads throughout the United States
Another portion Of The North Western
Madison and BarabOo, Wis, distance
new double track freight belt line, which
was recently completed and put into
operation about Chicago, has been pro-
tected. This line extends from the new
Proviso freight yards of the North
Western on the Galena Division, just
east of Elmhurst, through Des PLANES,
on the Wisconsin Division, and north
eastward to the Milwaukee Division at
BlOdgett, where it connects with the
outer double track line OF the Chicago
and North Western Railway between
Chicago and Milwaukee.
Summing up the work which this year
was accomplished on these portions of
the system, The North Western Line in
all has installed 1877 miles of new auto
matte block signal protection, adding
this to it's already very large amount of
mileage thus protected by automatic
signalling.
This work means not only II
a very large first cost to the
railroad company but also ~
a considerable increase in a MI

its system the best signal

remain to be completed with

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

An effort is being made, and it
should succeed of giving at least in
part, to the dependent families of the
men serving time in prison a part of
what they earn. There is no valid
reason why the family of a criminal
should suffer when he is earning
money for the state. They should
not be compelled to suffer because
the breadWinner had gone wrong, for
which act they are in no way RESPONSE
BILE. While in a few cases, the family
may deter a man from committing
crime yet many crimes are committed
under stress of circumstances.
Gov. Hoard in speaking of the Nc
Govern-Ekern fasco at Madison in
the Jefferson County Union says of
Ekern:
'Ekern is about the most pestifer-
Gus INSCRIPTIONS politician that was
ever unloaded upon a trusting peo-
pie. In our opinion there never was d
grain of patriotism in anything he
ever did in a public way
Say Governor, is he very different
from any of the So-called progress
sives? There is neither patriotism
nor party loyalty in the entire bunch.
There is only one word in their politi-
cal lexicon, self" How long, oh,
how long will the people permit them
selves to be deceived?
A bill has been introduced in the
state legislature to recompense inno-
cent men who have been or shall be
incarcerated in the Wisconsin state
prison Such a law should have been
enacted long ago for it is only fair
and just, and In many cases money
consideration cannot compensate an
innocent man who has served in priS-
on term Of years isolated from his
family and friends, and after his in
nocence has been proven turn him
out broken in health and unable to
cope with the world for a living and
in his poverty go to a poor house to
end his days of mental and probable
physical suffering. Wisconsin, as
we'll as other states, has exhibited a
spirit of heartless cruelty toward the
men who have suffered although they
committed no crime, and our courts
should not convict any man Of crime
except upon the most positive and
convincing evidnece.
