ALMOST MURDERED.

The aftermath Of the Mooney case is now manifesting itself. It is one that cannot be overlooked but il is one that all the hireling press agencies of the country are going to stifle or pervert.
 The papers that bawled themselves hoarse in frenzy of excitement over the confession of the llacNa maras will not have more than @ line or two hidden away in the back columns about this startling de. noucment.
 | Great capitalist interests which i had set themselves in the name of law and order to effect the destruc- tion of unionism in San Francisco 1 conspired with criminal officials to murder men in cold blood through ! the law. That is the purport of these sworn confessions, revealing a per version of official power that shocks and amazes everyone.
 The men who were to be the 1 victims of that conspiracy were men who were active ill union circles in the Golden Gate city. One of them, corporation private detective to whom was practically turned over the matter of the frame-up, was pur
 suing before the parade, and had i offered 5000 to another of the de
 fendauts to incriminate in another
 rrame-up.
 The whole thing is such a ehastly
 revelation as to how far officials who are merely the hirelings of capital ist malefactors will go in endeavor-
 ing to suppress the efforts of labor
 to wiring larger share of it's own product that labor may live in a sembancc Of decency, that il stagg-
 CTS the imagination.
 Here are all these officials hoist
 with their own petrad. Discovered in their dens where they would ar range to take the lives of innocent men and women.
 And the remarkable part of the
 whole matter is that the entire press
 of the country goes wild with excite
 ment and scared headlines over the sinking of foreign ship and the 1 loss of a sailor or two within a war zone, while the deliberate attempt to prostitute the law and justice in order to murder innocent men does not secure para graph.
 Yet, no matter what may be l thought or said CT suppressed, there is no question that this act or these i acts and conspiracies in San Fran cisco are far greater menace to the | country and it's fredom than all the submarinings that have occurred OH the high seas since 1914.
 Condign punishment should be vi sited upon these officials and the real malefactors, the higher-ups. 1 They attempted to kill these men as deliberately as the assassin stabs with the knife or the bandit kills with his bullet. Only in this way can the nation be purged of the out rageous stain that they have so
 foully cast upon the most precious of all the rights of men: right Of an untarnished trial by jury.

The horse Upstairs.

Nc. long since we were riding on an
elevated train In Chicago. We looked
out Of the car, and there, right at u
elbow, was a horses head, thrust
through the upper floor window Of a
brick building. II was a startling
thing. We felt like saying. Nov, what
on earth are you doing up here, old
manr" But the horse appeared to be
very much at home. No doubt he lived
there, twenty feet or 30 from the
ground. II was like a jail. He had no
barn lot or pasture. When his days
WORK was over he was taken direct
from the wagon TO his upstairs stall.
Rents we're too high for his owner to
furnish a stall on the ground. He
never had n chance to roll over or to
nibble at a bit of fresh plowed earth.

Lincoln Wide
Awakes'' OF 1860

~ NE of the peculiar i~ntroductions
into the FIRST Lincoln political
~ campaign was the Wide wake
marching clubs. which. II has
been claimed, went very far toward
winning for him the election. These
political Marching Lodies met with SO
much success that the custom was con
tinued for more than a score Of years
thereafter, says the Philadelphia Press.
The uniform OF the Wide Awakes
consisted OF n cap and a large cape of
enameied cloth, and each one carried a
torel. The capes were of a variety Of
colors, and naturally a procession of
Wide Awakes was picturesque and
striking. Many of The clubs had Wide
Awakes" stamped upon the capes as
well al other Insignia. The torch was
a small tin fount with a burner and
wick for kerosene fastened to a stick
stick. Toward the end of It's eam-
paign a few companies anne cut With
a swing torch.
The Wide Awakes were carefully
drilled by their captains. and many Of
them on parades would 20 through In.
tricate evolutions. These clubs were
organized all over the country, and II
an outlying town or village had a pro-
cession or flag raising the clubs OF the
vicinity were supposed 60 turn out and
frequently marched several miles In
doing 50. II has been estimated that
there were more than 2.o00.0OO voters
In duly organized Vide Awake clubs.
Some historians have made the as
sertion that it was the Wide Awakes
that elected Lincoln. and this is prob
ably not very far from the truth. The
movement seemed to be a spontaneous
outburst of the people from n end Of
the north to the other. Every town,
village and city had Its company of
Wide Awakes. marching. drilling and
maneuverlng.
The Wide Awakes organization grew

BARROW SAYS GERMANY HAS
ALREADY DECLARED WAR
ON UNITED STATES.
BY Clarence barrow,
Famous Atty for the Plain People.
Pres. Wilson could not have done
less in the war crisis. There is no
excuse for shifting and mixing is
sues. The ocean is a highway for all
the people Of the world. By treaties
and international law this has been
modified to permit blOckades in time
OF war. Such bIOckades give the
right Of search and seizure, subject
to courts for redress if the seizure
was not justified. It gives no right
to destroy ships, much less the lives
OF nOncOmbatants, unless the ship
makes a defense, or tries to escape.
The last right Of surrender belongs
to all nOncOmbatants.
There is no chance for argument
in the case of Germany. She an
nOunces to the world that all ships
within certain zones shall be sunk
without warning, the cargo, passen-
gers and seamen destroyed without
a chance to surrender or an appeal
to any tribunal This is against every
treaty and all rules of war, and if the
world shall submit, then the most
desperate land can rule the seas.
For America to submit would be
simple Cowardice, which in the end
means death.
Every belligeTent nation has the
right to staTve the enemy, if done
within the rules. The north did this
with the south. Germany did the
same by Paris in 1871, but the rules
do not permit the slaughter of non
cOmbatants without a chance to save
their lives. If the German people are
starving they can lay down their
arms and be fed. If two prizefight-
ers enter the ring, they are bound by
the rules. If one see that he can only
win by striking below the belt, then

SHOOTING IS AFTERMATH OF
 3 ROBBERIES
Fourth Time Bandits Tried Hold Up Deputy Marshal-Man In
 Hospital

ANCHORAGE, Sept. 4, (Delayed) Carl Lind, station contractor em- ployed at Mile 9S, was shot twice by Deputy U. s. Marshal Jack Sturgis at three o'clock Sunday morning for an alleged attempt by Lind and an m- known companion to hold up Sturgis not knowing him to be an officer.
 Lind is in the hospital and will live The other man escaped.
 This shooting followed three other holdups earlier in the evening, two of which were successful in that the vic tims were robbed.
 Descriptions furnished by one vic tim tally with the two men who en- countered Sturgis.
 Linds reputation is good and his friends protest his innocence, but his presence in the neighborhoOd of these hold-ups and conflicting stories told by him to the deputy marshal and friends is held as being against him.

HALIBUT HITS HIGH MARK ON
 WEST COAST
Price at Seattle Over Eighteen Cents Iced Salmon Bringing
 Nine Cents

SEATTLE, Sept. 5.-Hahbut hit the highest mark on record here yester- day when the dealers offered IS 2-5 cents per pound for fresh No. fish.
 N. l.. Thomas, of the San Juan com. pany here, stated today tha' the high. est previous offer under normal con, ditiOns for fresh fish had been l4c.
 War conditions, the scarcity of fish and shortage of the salmon run are the causes for this high figure.
 Advices by mail from Seattle indi. cate an equal demand for salmon, 9c a pound being paid at Seattle for ict salmon.
 Never in the history of the salmon industry has there been such de mand for light grades of salmon as this season. The once despised hum. pie is now a luxury on the market selling last week at Seattle and Ia coma for 9c a pound. In Southeast ern Alaska the mild cure men are bid. ding against the canners for the last runs of fish, which are being taker with nets in the bays fed by spawn ing streams.
