They were not all, gone last night.
There was q marked difference be-
tween the atmosphere on the two
trains that raced westward and
reached Chicago after dinner time. In
place OF the gIse that marked the
Sox special on their Eastern drive
there was q Eubdued air and much
reticence.
Manager Rowland admitted that he
did not know who would pitch, which

The fact that Sal IL known as q hot

in rebnttal against this, but the truth
: is that the cold weather gag goes only
during the early spring before he is
IN shape. Once in condition, S&llee

Being an Actress

The stage for women, has al
ways been an individual profession.
once an actress emerges from the
rank and file it is what she has
proved that she can do that counts,
ana she can give her ability a
greater amount of free play than is
possible in almost any other bus
mess or career" so said Jane
COWl, an actress VINO appears this
ss lson as playwright as we'll she
explains ner presence in such a
dual capacity as follows
often the actress who desires TO
express herself is baked by the
managers idea OF what sort of a
part the public wants to see her in
1t is my belief that the public. as
mass, is open-minded. but managers
sometimes imagine that public taste
runs in certain directions only; and.
should an actress attempt 10 step
outside the lines marked by public
favor, the manager begins TO think
about his dollars and cents. Then
he refuses 10 let her do anything
different, ana keeps on providRs
Der with roles similar 10 those she
mas always been seen in.

traffic.
The license acquired at once a
trading value that was put to profit
by people who had never had any
thing to do with the coal trade. Dress
makers, lawyers, society men, COM
mission merchants of all kinds dealt
in these licenses, each one taking as
big a profit as he could get in pass
ing it to the next buyer.
Maurice viollette, minister of pro-
visions, cited a typical case. The
price of coal originally bought at s36
ton went to SIS ton by passing
through the hands of six informed
iaries. none of whom had anything to
do with the coal business before this
license was issued.
NJ. Brunei, deputy from Paris, cit
ed a consumer who was able to buy
ten tons of coal. a five years supply,
while tenants of the same building
could not obtain enough to cook a
meal and were obliged to use gas.
These facts have SO impressed
the public" said M. Brunei, that
people of very moderate ideas have
declared to the authorities that the
situation continuing would mean re-
volution."
The minister of provisions has de-
cided to issue no licenses to importers
who were not regular dealers before
the war and proposes law punish
ing spectators in coal by fines and
Imprisonment.
Trading has gone on not only in
importation licenses, but in options
for the purchase of ships. One con-
Germ pretending to have options on
sixty vessels was asked for state
ment of its affairs. Its real capital
was found to be $50. The minister
declared that this traffic had been
stopped.
The rate of coal importation which
had improved in January, February
and March has been affected by the
submarine campaign and gone down
to 100000 tons month below last
years figures. Extraordinary efforts
are being made to increase the pro-
duction of French mines and thus re-
assure the population as to the sit
uation this coming winter.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY BROODS
ANARCHY

We do not agree with President
Wilson in his interference with the
citizens of Arizona in their efforts to
protect themselves against lawless-
ness. We do agree with the President
that lawlessness should be met, when
ever possible, with the law, and that
citizens should not themselves COM
nit acts that are not strictly within
the law. But there are times when
lawful procedure cannot be relied up
on to prevent more serious crimes.
There are times when the courts are
powerless, as, for instance, in dealing
with the l. w. w. murderers who
committed an assault upon Everett
last year. Those offenders were ar
rested and forthwith threatened to
bankrupt the community which they
had assaulted if an attempt was made
to punish them for their crime. They
had long trial that cost many, many
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-08-04

thousands of dollars. And that trial
proved an utter farce. 1t proved q
farce Notwithstanding the fact that
officers of the law were murdered by
members of the l. w. w. who were
made defendants in that case. All OF
which shows that the l. w. W., thru
their attorneys, have figured 1t out
that they can commit unlawful acts
with impunity and probably escape
any legally defined punishment what
soever.
In the wheatfields of many parts
of the country, in some of the mining
idistricts of the country, and in in
dustrial centers elsewhere, those l.
w. w. are proceeding along the same
lines as they proceeded in the Ever
EFT case. Yet the President of the Uni
ted States says he cannot permit citi-
zens to take the law into their own
hands!
That is a fine sentiment, and it is
a correct one under most circum-
stances, but when there is no law ap-
plicable because of the lack of ade-
quate machinery to enforce law, un-
less citizens protect themselves
against organized anarchy, there
would be safety for no one.
This is not the first time that the
President has placed himself between
Justice and crime. He tried to save
cold-blooded Utah murderer after
the fairest of trials had found him
guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.
This man was the l. w. w. patron
saint, Joe Hill. The President even
insulted the governor of that state be-
cause the governor would not over
ride the law and give the convicted
murderer a sentence in prison. For
tunately Utah has a governor who not
only knew the full details Of that
shocking and unprovoked crime, but
who had the courage to protect his
commonwealth despite the displeas-
ure of the executive of the nation. We
call attention to this again because
it may have some bearing upon the
executives attitude with respect to
the l. w. w. at this time. The Presi-
dent is being mislead by these scala
wags. His sympathy is being misplace
ed.
The Prospector does not counsel
the commission of any crime, but it
does say that if the l. w. w. should
attempt to destroy growing crops or
other property that cannot be replac-
ed, the citizens should not only Or
ganize to repress such lawlesness, but
they will be arrant cravens if they do
not do so.
The first virtue to be considered,
in such a circumstance, of course, is
to determine guilt without doubt.

telegram:

this telegram that its wording is at

mention Of the national anthem. merely
