WANTS TREASON EXPLAINED.
Gen. Johnston Urges Study Of What
the Constitution Says It Is.

BOSTON, Dee. "a drive for a
clearer conception of what constitutes
treason was made by Brig Gen John
a. Johnston, commander of the depart
ment Of the northeast, in the following
statement:
What we want to do is to get the
definition of treason, as il is given in
the constitution, spread broadcast
through the land, he said. eve
want II so every man can cut it out,
read it, paste il in his hat, and keep
il there. learn it by heart if neceS
sary. We want him to visualize il in
his mind, not to be his brother s keep
er. but for every man TO be his own
keeper. Then he VIII say to himself
Had ! better say to my friend what
] am going 10 say? Is il giving aid
and comfort to the enemy?' And if
he has the least doubt, then he will not
say il.
Treason against the United States
shall consist only in levying war
against them or in adhering to their
enemies, giving them aid and com
fort, SAYS the constitution. Let ev-
cry man, woman and child measure ev-
cry word and deed by what our fore
fathers said about treason Let them
look at it from the soldiers point of
view-from the point of view of the
man over there. Differences must
not stop the production of material.
The soldier needs it, and he needs it
in superabundance.
And so the capitalist who says, =
will not meet these men,, and the la
boring man who says, will not work
for him unless he gives more pay, and
thereby holds up production Of neccs-
sary material, are in effect giving aid
and comfort to the enemy. The con
stitution does not say anything about
intent. We all know man who was
guilty of treason to his country, Bene-
diet Arnold, and if you in effect are
giving aid and comfort to the enemy,
YOU are tagged in his class. =

The Lace-Makers Of Minnesota

4 concrete illustration Of how art
has been put 10 work in Minnesota IS
the lace-ma king industry among the
foreign-born women. There are III
Minnesota many thousands Of women
who came from Vienna and Old World
art centres as are found IL Sweden,
Norway, Bohemia, Russia aud central
Furone Because Of inability to find
q worthwhile market for their fine
laces. these women had allowed the in
dustry in which their mothers and
grandmothers were engaged to die out
with them or to become commercials
lied i'll cheap fashion. The women
in the smaller towns had formed the
habit of exchanging their laces for
groceries and other supplies, receiving
only meagre credit for their handi-
work. The result was it soon dete-
riorated in quality and quantity. They
saw no reason for spending their hard
earned money to buy new patterns from
their old homes, and lace-making be-
came almost u lost art among the
younger women, especially those born
in this country. One day Director
Flagg dropped off a train at New Tim,
q quiet little town overlooking the
Minnesota RIVER, IN search OF latent
industries into which he could inject
new life with art as the medium.
To the foreign-born women of the
town, once we'll known lace making
centre. he made the proposition of State
aid, which aroused new aspirations and
hopes. Director Flagg promised the
aid of the State III obtaining better
grades of materials and more attrac-
tive patterns from the Old World art
centre, providing the women would
agree to re-engage IN the lace making
! business in their homes, as they did
| before coming to America. The com
mission promised TO find q market for
| better-qualitied laces. and later collect
, ed samples Of tho best work Of these
| women for State exhibition. The de-
artment store BUYERS and women
fanciers of laces were surprised to find
| that such artistic lacc3 were being
made inside the State and became in
tcreHted in the new industry The re-
suit was that everything of merit was
snapped up by department stores and

Hutchinson, Kan, June 20.-Judge
H. T Purcell, probate judge of Pratt
county, who is here attending the
state convention of probate judges,
suggests a unique means of helping

next Monday, June rs, as "Self-Denial
Day" On that day, he proposes, ev-
cry man shall abstain from the use
of cigars or tobacco, and every wom-
an and child shall do without chew
ing gum and candy.
Each person is then expected to lay
aside and deposit in the self-denial
fund the amount that would have
been used that day for tobacco, candy
or chewing gum.
Each person will be his own judge
of the amount he should pay, whether
a penny or a dollar, but if each per-
son. is honest about it, the amount
will reach very considerable sum, -

for a week would be a big aid toward
