Lawlessness In
West Virginia

Engrossed as we are in our va
rious occupations, it would seem
that the grave reports contained in
the news columns within the past
few days have not presented them
selves in their proper guise to our
American ideas of freedom. The
startling disclosures in the West
Virginia situation and the convic-
ton of Editor Scott in New, Jersey
should cause every hberty-loving
citizen, proud of his country and
jealous of his inalienable rights un-
der the Constitution to gasp in
amazement and incredulity as he
reads of the ruthless trampling
upon two of the principal supports
of liberty of the person, the right
of trial by jury and the right of
free speech.
In West Virginia, martial law
had been declared, yet the regular
State Courts remained open. A
military commission simply step
ped in and assumed coeval juris-
diction. The very essence of mar
tial law pre-supposes state OF in
surrection, and the establishment
of military courts follows the sus-
pension of the State courts. The
action Of the military commission
was clearly an usurpation from be-
ginning to end, and fragrant vio-
lation of the Constitution. Not only
is this evident from the language Of
the Constitution, but the law was
laid down expressly by Justice Da-
Wis Of the Supreme Court in MILL
gan VS.. u. S. as follows:
{" A citizen, not connected with
the military service, and resident
in State where the courts are all
open and in the proper exercises OF
their jurisdiction, cannot, even
when the privilege Of the writ of
habeas corpus is suspended, be tried
convicted or sentenced otherwise
than by the ordinary courts of
law"
Yet the members Of this commits
sion explain, that because martial
law had been declared, they as
sumed the Constitution and its
guarantees had been suspended
although the guarantee Ct trial by
jury contained in the Constitution
was intended for a state OF war az
we'll as a state of peace, and Il
equally binding at all times anc
places" And under this gross
misinterpretation, with the State
courts wide open and ready for bus
mess, they dispensed with leg!a
forms, pronounced their DEGREES II
secret session, and sentenced men
in some cases, to punishments fal
greater than prescribed in the stat
ute law. And they crowned then
baleful record by inventing nev

crimes, not on the statute books,
and men were sent to prison for
violations Of these "made- to- order
laws. This did not occur in Rus
sia, but in free America. And lest
it may appear to be joke, some
rae now serving seven year SEN
tences under the authority Of this
unconstitutional court.
In the case of Editor Scott the
conviction was based upon a law
passed by the New Jersey legisla-
ture after the assassination of
President Mckinley, in which law
it was made a crime for one to hold
up to ridicule the national, state or
municipal governments. Editor
Scott severely criticized the police
of Paterson for brutally clubbing
women and children. This was
held to constitute the "ridiculing'
of the police, and thus the munich
pality. And poor Scott was SEN
fenced to a term Of from one to
fifteen years in prison. have read
the editorial upon which the con-
viction was based, and can truly
say there was nothing therein
which might not have been said by
any reputable journal Of the coun-
try. The New York World, speak
ing editorially, characterized it
miscarriage of justice" and fur
ther stated if such law existed in
New York, that since the Becker
trial, the city Of New York would
be depopulated save for Mayor
Gaynor and the Police Department.
If such law existed in Delaware,
there would be no more criticlzlng
of Levy Courts because of bad
conditions, no more criticizing OF
municipal administrations. The
editors would all be in pail, and
we would have to wear padlocks
upon our lips, for, terrible it would
be "holding up to ridicule," la
New Jersey.
The real point, the crux of these
situations seems 10 De lne growing
disposition on the part of the au-
thorities and employing classes, to
become just as lawless as the strlk-
ers and wage workers are usually
reputed to be. Thus we have force
meeting force, and lawlessness in
authority meeting lawlessness with
out authority. For such an 1ntol-
cradle condition there would seem
to be but the two courses open !:
continued warfare, or the cooper
ative commonwealth. The fact
which stands out above all others
in these continued and continual
strikes is that the workers, after
centuries of neglect, have sudden
" discovered their strength and
solidarity and intend to use it to
the utmost. While an optomist by
nature, the dark and ominous
clouds hang heavy on the horizon
to my gaze, pregnant with direful
possibilities.
