HAVE GOOD ENOUGH
Law

In view of the fact that when Mon
tana citizens III all parts Of the state
were demanding the prosecution of lie
|. ". w agitators. they We're inforrlc !
by the legal representative Of the
federal government i'll this common
wealth that there WAS no law ,ntie :
which he could proceed. il is interest
ing to note that l6G of these treason
able disturbers have been indicted in
the federal court in Chicago.
When the demand for the arrest Of
these outlaws was at its height ia
Montana, Mr.. l.. X. Wheeler United
states district attorney. informed the
Miner and other newspapers that there
was no statute under which he could
act. but that if anyone would point
out "A law. he would gladly enforce H.
This newspaper not posing as a legal
authority, naturally could not place its
hand upon such IA federal statute, but
1t seems that the attorneys represent :.
ing the government in Chicago have
had no difficulty in discovering an
act in which they have sufficient con
tidencc to proceed under.
There appear to be several pro-
visions of law covering the activities
of the !. w. w. one of which is stated
TO be section six of the criminal code.
which reads as follows IF two or
more persons IN any state or territory
or in any place subject TO the iuris-
diction of the United States conspirc
to overthrow. put down or to destroy
by force the government OF the United
States. or to levy war against them or
to oppose by force the authority there
of. or by force to prevent, hinder or
delay the execution of any law of the
United States contrary to the author
ity thereof. they shall be fined not
more than $4,000 or imprisoned not
more than six years, or both"
In addition to this provision, II
seems that there are sections Of the
espionage act which. the federal au-
thorties in Chicago are enforcing.
II is regrettable that the United
States district attorneys office In
Montana was ignorant Of these pro-
Visions and was unable to discover
them. sss 49, Z.

Some years back there WAS a public !

ficas and the gamblers. Gambling was
carried on openly and VIGOROUSLY but
there were no arrests because. as sub
sequent developments revealed, the
police received large sums of money
for protecting the gamblers That con
W.
many years before because nobody in
official life had considered it worth
while to make a fuss over It, There
had been prosecuting attorneys, to be
sure. but their attitude had been that
of Wheeler. namely: That 1T was no
part of their duty to order arrests OF
to gather evidence or TO do anything
outside the strict requirements of
the statutes according TO their own in
depreciation. They were in office
simply TO take complaints under adj
visement and prosecute or not. as
they chose.
Now it happened that on the coca
sion referred TO there was a district
attorney, William Travers jerome. by
name. who decided that he was elected
to serve the people and that in this
service he would not permit his
hands to be bound by legal red tape.
He would do his whole duty to the
people and leave the verdict to them.
