CASE AGAINST
MRS. DE SAULLES

She killed her divorced
husband in the presence of
eye-witnesses
She came armed, indicat-
ing generalization.
She concealed her picture
while demanding her son,
indicating full possession of
her faculties.
Upon refusal she fired I'M
mediately, showing her
plans were carefully pre-
pared and her desire to kill
was strong.
She fired not once, but
four times, evidencing de-
termination to slay.
She has expressed no re-
morse, merely saying the
deed had to be, and that it
was the only way.
She took the law into her
own hands, and had no
greater justification for so
doing than has any individ-
ual defeated in court. Her
recourse was to further le-
gal appeal.
To acquit her would be to
endorse violence, instead of
reason and the court of JUS
tice, as civilized society's APP
proved method of adjusting
differences.
Her beauty, her position,
her lineage, her property,
and even her past injustices,
IL she has suffered any, are
not extenuating circum-
stances in a murder trial.
Marital differences are
many and various. Her exc
cution, or at least life i'm
prisonent, Is necessary to
prevent a wave of crime by
historical women whose
family life has broken
down.

With q handful of men,

anese, the st. Paul & Tacoma
Lumber Co. made an attempt
to resume operations in the
Mill on the tideflats Monday
morning.
The only work accomplished
was the trimming with crosscut
saws of lumber that had previ-
ously been cut. There were not
enough men to even attempt to
operate the mill.
The police reported that less
than half q dozen men showed up
for work. There was not disturb
ance nor threats of violence, and
a squad of police officers sent to
protect the plant were ordered
back to police headquarters.
Usually Has 600.
Arne Jones, secretary of the
Tacoma timberworkers' union,
estimated that about 25 men. half
of them Japanese, were at work
at the plant Monday.
The mill usually employs more
than 600 men.
Employees of the Wheeler-os-
good Co., who have been granted
the eight-hour day gathered near
the st. Paul plant before the
opening hour, and jeered and
hooted the strikebreakers when
they went In.

Germany, starting new cam

The Pro and Com OF lit
ARGUMENTS FOR
MRS. DE SAUL,LES

Emo ional insanity rem
dered her irresponsible for
her acts.
1t cannot be proved she
was armed because she pre-
meditated murder. She car
ried a pistol for protection.
and had often thought of
suicide.
She fired when. with her
son before her, De Saulles'
refusal to let her take him
precipitated a brain-storm
and dethroned her season.
She is more sinned against
than SHINING. She was
granted a divorce because of
De Saulles' misconduct with
another woman, and to have
the court deprive her of her
only solace, her son, when
she was the innocent party
to the separation seemed to
her unjust and was too
much for her emotional
nature.
That a mother will kill or
die for her child is in other
circumstances her highest
glory. This same glorious
mother instinct is RESPONSE
BILE for the De Saulles trag-
edy.
She was without Ameri-
can friends, and her legal
experience has caused her
to distrust American justice.
She thought powerful influ-
ences we're conapiring
against her, and this became
a hallucination.
Weighing less than 100
pounds, Mrs. De Saulles is
a case for the physician of
mind and body, not for the
prison or the chair.
She deserves freedom
with her son. This will car
ry out a higher law than
mans and preserve her for
a useful life. Any other
decision will mean her early
death from melancholia,
broken heart and conse-
quent anaemia resulting in
an actual wasting away of
her body.

A rabbit hunt

The following story of rabbit
hunt wad sent to us by A. d.
Gray, nephew, who lives dm
North Dakota.
Lon, AIS he is called, was born
and raised in Iowa. He lived in
Audubon County from boyhood un
till few years ago when he with
HIS family moved to N. Dakota.
He is very much pleased with the
country up there, but was one of
the unfortunates whose wheat crop
was struck with rust last year.
THE RABBIT HUNT.
The rabbit hunt described took
place i'm his neighborhood. and he
assures us There are plenty left
yet"
The rabbit hunt was success
from start to finish. Just siNty+siK
registered and the finalI count
showed that they brought lin 1889
rabbits.
Monday afternoon was blustery
and cold but a good share of the
boys went out anyway. The even-
ing, however, and the next morn
ing were perfect and all the hunt
ers got down to business.
1t is amazing how many rabbits
they di scare up and get but as
ono hunter said it would prohahly
be more amazing if they could
count the rab bits that they scared
up that got away.

WHO always gets washed with a

Who hates nice clear water and
fidgees about.

They will turn new leaf, and
