CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING

Nearly every passing day Giyes
our people additional cause FOR
thanksfulness that WOodraW
Wilson, and not Theodore Roose-
welt. is president of the United
States. The great mass Of this
cOuntry's citizens are peaceful
and peace-loving. They are grate-
full that. in the midst of wars anG
alarms of wars, the United States
is at peace with all the world, and
likely to remain SO.
They cannot be unmindful. OF
the fact that such a happy condi-
ton would be ieopardized were
head of the nation. Colonel
Roosevelt's friend, the Kaiser, has
often been termed the Roosevelt
of Europe, and Colonel Roosevelt
doubtless would like to be Kaiser
of America if he could get the Op-
portunity.
The warlike trend of his mind
is we'll revealed in his recent ut
terances denounclng the peace
treaties just signed between the
United States and a score of gov.
ernments. Anything that smacks
OF peace is anathema to the man
who bOasted that his spear knows
no brother. a..
But it would seem that with the
whole world aghast at the horror
of the European conflict, the
doughty Colonel chose an inop-
perfume time to reaffirm his con
tempt for peace. There are, no
doubt, some thoughtless and
needless folk and some ultra jim
goes who will applaud his war
chatter just as there are uncan-
nily constituted people who enjoy
witnessing or inflicting cruelty
and suffering upon others.
But the great majority of sober,
sensible people of this fortunate
country will not fail to give
thanks that Roosevelt's power for
harm is confined to his utteran-
ces.

make any difference in this case,"
which gives Knab's lawyer the ex-
cellent advantage of assisting in the
effort to convict these girls in con-
junction with the city just as the po-
lice have assisted Knab by arresting
union pickets though they admit the
union pickets were not responsible
for the crowd that gathered on the
street.
Lawyer Thompson was not per-
mitted to tell the jury that under the
ruling of three circuit court judges
the union pickets had the right to
picket as they were doing and thus
the issue was permitted to remain
one of the sovereign rights of a po-
Iceman to disregard the ruling of the
circuit court judges and arrest union
pickets whenever an employer may
see fit to try to break strike by
causing a congestion on the street.

AFRAID OF MORE AC0uITTALS
After waiting all morning for a
venire of jurymen to be brought from
the Criminal Court on the North Side,
Catherine Jacobs;oa, union picket ar
rested charged with lettering in front
of Knab restaurant, was tried In the
court presided over by Judge Scott
yesterday and at the close of the
afternoon session sealed verdict
was ordered returned.
1t is claimed that the men were
brought from the North Side because
of the acquittal verdicts returned by
two juries yesterday. Attorneys for
the prosecution were changed and
Prosecuting Attorney Schwartz rep
resented the city, assisted by Dudley
Taylor, lawyer for Knab, the restau-
rant man, and for the Employers As

Attorneys for the mattresses were
not permitted to mention the con-
spiracy they charge on the part of
Knab to create excitement on the
street and thus secure the aid of the
police department. in breaking the
strike.
Officer Luke Mcclure, who arrest
ed Catherine Jacobs, admitted with
out hesitancy that no crowd collected
on the street during the time that
the union pickets were there alone
and that it assembled because of the
signs in Knab's window and the
StrikebreakerS he placed on the street
with toy nannygoats and balloons.
Attorney Hope Thompson for the
mattresses met with an avalanche of
objections from Schwartz when he
attempted to draw the inference from
this testimony that Knab was respon-
sible for the crowd and not the union
pickets. .... .-,. a..
Lawyer Thompson pointed to the
fact that Knab's attorney was assist
