Mr.. Ford has consistently opposed blood

For this position, he has been severely

SIR ROGER EASEMENT PLACED ON
TRIAL FOR HIGH TREASON

Sir Roger Easement, arrested as insti-
gator of the recent Irish rebellion, went
on trial in London on June Goth, charged
with high treason.
1t was he who attempted to land an ex-
petition from Germany, which brought
on the Dublin uprising.
1t is claimed that probably in no other
important case during the last century
have there been so many challenges Of
jurors summoned. Usually, in British
courts, those called are accepted, and
challenges are made only for definite
cause. Yet the entire time consumed in
selecting jury was only forty-fve min
utes. Compare this with American courts.
According to London reports, Sir Roger
will not seek his freedom on the ground
Of insanity, as predicted, but on the plea
that he simply was continuing in Germany,
among Irish prisoners Of war, a work
which he had begun in Ireland-namely,
that Of recruiting men for the Irish volun-
teers, which is not an illegal act.
Because of the past honorable record of
the distinguished defendant, there is a
tendency to show him every consideration
possible.
It is believed by some that his mental
condition was caused, primarily, by a
sunstroke while engaged in service for the
British government in foreign land
Sir Roger entered a formal plea of not
guilty.

gressive National Committee, on the night
Of June Goth, at the Auditorium Hotel,
Chicago, Endorsed the candidacy Of Charles
Evans Hughes for president
The vacancy at the head Of the Progress
sive ticket, caused by the refusal Of
Colonel Roosevelt to run for the presi-
dency, will not be filled
To insure against the existence Of a third
ticket, the committee, after committing it's
leaders to Hughes, without any strings at
tached, directed the Executive committee
to ally itself with Mr. Hughes campaign,
and to do all in its power to aid in his
election
The fifteen minority, including Colonel
John M. Parker, Of Louisiana, their can
didate for vice-president, and Raymond
Robbins chairman of the recent Progress
sive National Convention, refused to com
ply with the request to lend their
support to Hughes.
Just what action will be taken by these
men is not known. Perhaps some Of them
will yet join the Republican ranks. Mr..
Robbins, however, announced at the time
that if he had to decide right then and
there, he probably would ally himself with
the Woodrow Wilson forces. He added,
however, that he would not make his final
decision until after Mr.. Hughes had made
a statement to the Notification committee.
Governor Hiram w. johnson, of Cali
fornia, one Of the staunch Progressive
leaders Of the country, and running mate
of Roosevelt in 1912, has announced that
he will support Hughes.
Regarding the action Of Colonel Roose-
welt, an editorial in the Chicago Tribune
says
fTheodOre Roosevelt s letter to the Pro
gressive National Committee giving his
reasons for not accepting the nomination
of the third party for the presidency is
what was expected Of his patriotism. A
man swollen with egotism and filled with
personal ambitions would not and could
not have given himself so unreservedly to
the good Of his country.
Roosevelt is not thinking Of himself,
but Of the United States, and, having an
opportunity to prove it, he has done So.
A small man, hurt by the acts Of his
enemies, enamored Of himself and strutting
before the mirror, would have been incap-
able Of adopting Roosevelt's course"

GREAT BRITAIN BECOMES A NATION
OF GRIM MILITARISM

According to London reports, Great
Britain on June 24th became a nation Of
militarism.
All male Britishers between the ages
Of Is and Al, on that day, with the ex-
ception Of negligible quantity, automa-
tlcally became soldiers for the duration of
the war, under the new military compul-
sion act
They constitute the army Of reserve,
and will become trained units as fast as
the military authorities can put them
through the necessary drill.
1t is estimated that upwards of 6OO,-
900 men are thus added to the military
forces, between 100000 and 100000 of
this number being youths under nineteen
The remainder is divided between
married and single men who have hereto
fore held back, mainly for family or bust
ness reasons.
Henceforth, every man walking the
streets or highways Of Great Britain, ex-
Elusive VI 1IclduQ, Is lldUlo W ne CLdl-
lenged by police constable, whereupon he
must produce his certificate of military
exemption Immediately, or face the conse-
quences. Total exemption is granted only
to clergymen, exchanged prisoners Of war;
and the physically unfit.
No excuses will be accepted, in future
because Of trade or professional duties
The manufacturer or employee must
leave his place Of work, and the husband
his wife and children, regardless Of bust
ness or domestic hardship.
During the past few weeks, millions Of
pieces of furniture in British homes have
been packed and placed in storage
The government lightens the load of the
married conscript by paying for him a rea-
sonable charge for the carriage and in
surance.
The families Of married soldiers have
not attempted, in most cases, to keep the
home fires burning, but have gone to live
with the old folks, or into lodgings
More empty houses are for rent in Eng
land, Scotland, and Wales than at any
time in the history of the country.

PROSPECT OF WAR WILL NOT DEFER
STRIKE PROBLEM

According to a Cleveland dispatch in
the New York Sun, Mr. W. G.. Lee, Presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, is
quoted as saying that there is no founda-
ton for reports circulated that, in conse-
quence Of the prospect Of war with Mexi-
co, the Organized Trainmen Of the United
States will withdraw, or postpone, their
demands.
"War," he says, "will have absolutely
no effect upon our program"
Senator Newlands has entered reso-
luton in congress for an investigation by
the interstate commerce commission.
An editorial in the Chicago Tribune
says:
"The Tribune believes that if the ques-
ton Of strike versus arbitration or sub
mission to the interstate commerce com
mission is put up fairly to the men, so
that they will understand the whole sit
uatiOn and have chance to weigh fully
their duty and all the consequences Of mis-
taken action, the vote will be against
strike. But strike votes submitted by
leaders who are naturally anxious to
possess a maximum Of power are seldom
put in an impartial way. The men ought,
at any rate, to be allowed to vote not mere
ly on a strike, but also on arbitration or
submission to the commission.
f'The railroad brotherhoods are com
posed Of high grade men, The younger
men are doubtless more inclined to ex-
IRENE measures than the older, but in the
main we believe the rank and file would
realize their responsibilities to the country
at such time as this. We do not think
American railroad men are less patriotic
than Canadian, and yet the latter refused
to enter the wage controversy because of
war conditions. The leaders may be ready
for rule or ruin policy. We should be
sorry, as well as surprised, to find that the
men are behind the Canadians in any re-
spect.
Nevertheless, congress should not pro-
crastinate'

the attitude Of these professional German
Americans was due not in the least to any

way by which they could achieve this OBJ

they supported him accordingly, without

have, in the REORGANIZATION campaign,
played not merely an un-American but a
thoroughly anti-American part.

who are precisely as good Americans as
