TURN PIVOTAL POINTS
London Is Convinced Polish Cap
itaI Will Be Taken,

London, July 21.-From the shores
OF the Gulf Of Riga in the north to
that part of Southern Poland back
into which they drove the Russians
from Galicia the Austro-German ar
mics are still surging forward and if
Warsaw can be denied them it will be
almost miracle.
This seems to be the consensus of
opinion, even among those in Eng
land who, heretofore, have been hope
FIJI that the Russians would turn and
deliver counter blow, and news of
the evacuation of the Polish capital,
followed by the triumphant entry of
the Germans amid such scenes as
were enacted at Przemysl and Lem
berg, would come as no surprise.
Two pivotal points in their drive
in Poland have been turned by the
Teutonic allies. Ostrolenka, strong
hold on the Narew river, seventy
miles northeast of Warsaw, and Ra-
dom, fifty-seven miles to the south
OF that town and thirty miles from
lvandorod, another Of the great fort

Vienna p
The acute peril to Warsaw is &C.
centuated by the Russian official
communication, which says that Ger
man columns are within artillery
range of the fortress of Nowo Geor-
gievsk, the key to the capital from
the northwest, and only nineteen
miles from it,
Immediately southwest of the city

Blonie has fallen and farther south
Grojee; while German cavalry are
astride the important railway from
Radon to Ivangorod. The Lublin-
Cholm railway is still in the hands of
the Russians so far as is known, but
the town of Lublin has either been
captured or is in danger of falling into
the grip of the Austro-G Germans, the
Russian commander-in-chief having
issued through the civil governor an
order that in case of a retreat the
male population is to attach itself to
the retreating troops.

The most infamous outrage on
justice ever perpetrated in this coun-
try was the conviction of John r.
Lawson, the Colorado editor. who
was found guilty of murder. al
though lie was not accused of per-
sonal participation in the violence.
The trial judge was a former coal
company attorney, and he refused
to permit the jury to be drawn from
the regular jury box as provided by
law. The result was a hand picked
jury of coal company partisans.
Even this jury refused to convict
Lawson until bailiff selected by the
judge, according to affidavits on file
in the court, tortured jury man
With manufactured reports of the
dangerous illness of the Jurors wife,
and as a final stroke warned the jury
that under the judges orders the
jury would have nothing further to
eat until it rendered it's verdict. A
greater travesty on Justice would be
difficult to imagine, and the relent-
less oppressors of labor responsible
for the above action will yet over
reach themselves in their greed.

The Biwabik Times expresses the
opinion that "tkere is a growing
sentiment that business has long
enough been slandered by strong
lunged, big mouthed agitators. who
are too lazy to work, and could not
take care of a business if they had
one" Editor Koen is right, as so
long as a business is legitimately
conducted it should not be forced to
suffer for the sins of others. Un-
fortunately not all business concerns
are operated in accordance with
right principles, and this fact is re-
sponsible for much of the criticism.
