The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1916-02-12
BY D. o. FLOWER.
President Free Press Defense League.

---------~---~~~--~>-~>~--
from a letter Just at hand from
indianapolis, Indiana.
"The ladies of Aurora we're not the
only ones praying for your dolivcrance
on the day Of your triumphant acquittal.
/ venture that every one Of the FIVE
million readers Of the most fearless paper
on the earth were 50 engaged during the
entire trial The glorious outcome will
nerve every heart on tie Firing Line 10
renewed eXertions and ] predict two
million subscribers for the paper, ere the
elections Of this year.
The following lines are from a
well known lawyer in the Mississippi
valley.
You have won a notable victory for
the freedom of the press OF this country
One thing you can rest assured Of and
that is that you have the sympathy Of
the people Of the whole country. Every
body knows what you have to 20 through
in order TO defend TIE liberty Of the
American people. George Washington
may have been the Father Of our country
but / consider TUE MENACE is doing
more for the cause of our freedom than
he ever did do. / wish 10 assure you
] will do all in my power to help you.
! want TO see THE MENACE 20 TO five
million circulation and it will 90 to that
figure if the patriots Of this nation do
their duty"
These letters are merely typical
of the thousands of communications
that are pouring into the offices of
THE MENACE and the League.
Many Of the letters received re-
mind us Of the old prophets of
Israel, or of the utterances of the
noble patriotic band which sailed
on the May Flower under the COM
pulsion of the Vision, TO become,
under the guidance Of the Divine
Mind, the conservators Of Freedom.
One feels when reading some of
these letters that the writers must
have felt much as did our great
Protestant philosopher and poet,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, when in
writing his Boston Hymn he penned
these lines:
1.-THE word of the Lord by night
To the watching Pilgrims came,
As they sat by the seaside,
And filed their hearts with fame.
"God said am tired Of kings,
l suffer them no more;
Up TO my ear the morning brings
The outrage Of the poor.
"My angel,--his name is Freedom
Choose him 10 be your King;
He shall cut pathways east and west
And fend you with hs wing.
"Lo! 1 uncover the lcnd
Which | hid Of old time in the West
As the sculptor uncov-as the statue,
When be has wrought his best "
Other letters breathe the spirit
of Whittier as expressed in these
lines:
cup, then, in Freedoil s manly part,
From graybeard eld b fiery youth,
And on the nation s naked heart
Scatter the living Goals of truth!
Up-while We sluL.ber, deeper yet
The shadow Of our shame is growingi
Up,-while ye pause, our sun may set
In blood, around our altars Aowingl
CUP now for Freedom not in strife
Like that your stenlAr fathers saw
The awful waste cf human life
The glory and the guilt Of war:
But break the etain-the yoke remove,
And smite 70 earth oppression's rod,

Millions At Prayer

the memorable January
IIC 18th. when the Roman Cath
.LS olic Political Machine re-
@ ceived its first stunning blow
in the victory Of THE MENACE, at
the trial instigated by Knights Of
Columbus, an avalanche Of mes
sages Of joy and cheer have poured
into the Offices of The MENACE at
Aurora, Missouri, and the Free Press
Defense League of Fort Scott, Kan
sas.
This in itself is not strange: when
an attempt is made TO strike down
paper that is each week read by
several million people its loyal sub
scribers naturally rally to its sup
port. But there Is something deep
ly significant about these letters
Which can not fail 10 impress the
student Of history
They reveal a condition big with
promise for the cause Of free Amer
lea.
They show that the profound re-
ligious sentiment Of Protestant and
patriotic America is stirred as per-
haps never before in the life of our
people.
From the Atlantic TO the Pa
cific, from the Great Lakes to the
gulf; from cities and towns, from
hamlets and farms; from professors
chairs in universities and colleges,
from clergymen's studies, lawyers
offices, merchants counting rooms ;
from the factories and the shops
and from a vast multitude Of de-
voted wives and mothers there has
come a mighty stream Of letters
yoicing the fact that in every nook
and corner Of this Republic and in
every station of life God fearing
men and women were on their knees
praying for the victory Of THE
MENACE.
1t is, we think, safe to say that
no great religious journal in any
crisis in the history of our country
has called forth so many prayers
from earnest Christians as were in
evidence during the second week in
January during this now historic
trial.
IN ALL GREAT CRISES THE
PEOPLE TURN TO GOD.
Here is a letter-one of thou
sands that might be quoted-it was
written TO Mr.. J. |. Sheppard, Sec
retary-Treasurer of The Free Press
Defense League and senior counsel
at THE MENACE trial. The author
is a distinguished educator filling
an important chair in one of our
great American universities.
Hearty congratulations on your vic.
tory at Joplin. wish I could have heard
you. I helped all could from this end.

and for the triumph Of the right; 1 do

prayer but | am a firm believer in it.

An Important Fact of History

Since the Protestant Reformation
and especially since the Democratic
era every great spiritual, moral and
political awakening Of the people
has been marked by the prayers of
millions-prayers born of living
faith in God and marked by that
spiritual exaltation that phases free
dom, justice and truth above all
other things, making the Cause
loom above all material considera-
tions and eren above life itself.
These letters breathe forth this
high fine spirit-this spirit of con-
secration and devotion that has car
ried every great cause to victory.

LOCAL OPTION IS
 BADLY DEFEATED
Douglas Votes Wet by More Than Two to One-RepOrts
 From Other Towns

Douglas Island placed her stamp of disapproval on local option yesterday by majority of more than two to one.
 Douglas was wet yesterday in more ways than one. The windows of heaven were siar and rain poured all day, but for az Chat 6s4 of a total of 997 possible votes were polled, of which AT were in favor of couGuuiug Co license saloons, while 207 wanted the town Go take pas sage on the water wagon. U. $. Com missioner Heuson uas iu charge of the election, all the saloons were closed and tbe day was quiet one. Uuregis tered votes Go Che nun Der of 100 were sworn in aud 40 aHdavits were filed by persons unable Co attend the polls iu person.
 JUNEAU ALSO DAMP
 Juneau cast only l,O56 of her l,779 registered votes, but AT uureeistered voters swore iu tbeir votes The poll showed TIP for we. and 274 for dry. The votes or Che AT unregistered were sealed and will be returned Co the court. But even should all the sealed votes favor the wagon, Juneau is still damp by safe majority.
 Later.-Siuce the above was put in type claim has beeu made that Ju- neau, not having carried for "wet" to tbe extent of one balt the number of votes registered, uay be declared "dry" On this subject, however, there are "doots."

UncIe Sam, Banker

Larger postal savings deposits will now be accepted at the post office. This is made possible by an important amendment to the Postal Savings Act just approved by President Wilson. A postal savings depositor may now have an account amounting to 51OO0 upon which interest will be paid Formerly $500 was the maximum amount he could have to his credit. This enlarge ment of postal savings facilities will be very gratifying to thousands of depos itors who have already reached the old $500 limit and are anxious to entrust more of their savings 10 Uncle Sam. Another feature of the amendment that will avoid further em barassment to the public and to postal officials is the doing away with the limit on the amount that could be accepted from a debositor monthly Under the old law only SlOO could be accepted from a de- positor in calendar month The amendment abolishes this restriction. While the Postal Savings System has already proved a signal success as is shown by the fact that more than half a million depositors have over eighty million dollars standing to their credit, still it has fallen short of meeting the full demands Of the public because of the restrictions which have now been eliminated. Postmaster General Burl- esou and Third Assistant Postmaster General Dockery have been tireless in their efforts to secure a modification of the limitations and the new liberalizing legislation is particularly gratifying to them

AUTOMOBILE ROAD
 SKIRTING CHANNEL
Juneau Daily Dispatch Dilates on Probability of Near
 Future

Notwithstanding the fact that the Juneau Daily Dispatch editorially "blowed cold" on the channel bridge proposition in it's Saturday morning issue. iS "blowed hot" Sunday morning on the same subject as follows, and for which it is entitled to unstinted thanks of it's readers on both sides of the channel:
 As soon as the bridge is built across the channel between Juneau and Doug las one of the very first steps to follow will be the making of an auto roadway that wllI extend from Thane to Che lower end of Treadwen.
 The building ofan adequate extensive highway for the gas wagons is inevit- able on account of the rapidly increas- ing number of cars on both sides of the channel
 "We must have more room Co spin around in," was the verdict of a prom inent auto owner when interviewed yesterday in regard to the feasibility of building the proposed highway. Not only could a scenic highway for tour isis be created from the abundance of uature-provided material. but also a commercial trade may be built up that would be of great value Go all con- cerned.
 Douglas Island has an agricultural possibility that as yet is untried and which may yield surprising returns when extensive operations in the way of farming are put in force There is seemingly little reason why Douglas Island will not become a farming ceuter as we'll as a mining mecca. The soil is formed of a decomposed composition of ore with blue clay which works up nicely after Che underbrush is once grubbed out Douglas has many nat ural advantages which are not common in Alaska There is plenty of room for extension on land that lies in a gradual slope 10 the east which gives the best possible benefit of the sunshine and during the wet season excessive mois- ture is readily drained into the channel
 When the Islanders reacb the point where tbey have an oversupply of pro- duce a ready market will be found in Juneau, where the trade is larger in proportion to the producing possibili- ties. An arrangement whereby con- tiuual auto line on the highway could be maintained would be very satisfac- tory.
 At present there are nearly 100 ma chimes registered in Juneau alone where a few years ago one could count all of them on the fingers of one band. Not only will the new population of ma- chimes bring a suitable trans-chaunel thoroughfare, but such a roadway will also bring much larger demand for automobiles. We are living in an age of speed and there is constant cry for an increase in the rate of momentum and SO in the natural course of evenls Douglas leland will be linked to the mainland by the bridge that will be an outlet for speedy travel
