FRANK LITTLE WAS
GRUNDY COUNTY BOY

Frank Little l. w. w. leader who
was lynched at Butte. Montana. was
native of Grundy county and the
son of Captain William Little. Civil
war veteran and miner in the Grundy
county fields in the early days.
Old-time miners remembered him
well, and declare that even as n hoy
he was restless, and That at an early
age he urged the miners to unite in
fight for better working conditions
He left this section many years
ago and went to western mining dis
tricts. In Colorado he became ac-
quainted with William Haywood, but
for time after this remained loyal
to the United Mine Workers, ailillat-
ed with the American Federation o.
l.aber
The Ludlow massacrcs during the
Colorado mine troubles of few years
ago made reckless labor agitaiOr
of Little. and when, without any OF
those involved in the killing of the
women and children and the burning
OF The tent colony at Ludlow being
punished, the Colorado strike was
called off by the American Federation
of Labor. Little threw himself, heart
and soul, into The !. w. W. organiza
| ton. He became a national figure in
the l. w. w. during the trial of Jos.
! Hillstrom in Utah, because Of his ac-
| tivity in organizing an appeal to Pres
ident Wilson for !Iillstrom's life.
Little succeeded in bringing Sc
much pressure TO bear on the presi
! dent that the nations chief executive
sent a request to Governor Spry, OF
Utah, that Hllsrom be reprieved I'M
| til President Wilson himself had op
portunity TO investigate the evidence
on which the l. w. w. was convicted

Knitted Together

ZANE OF the great. gains Of the war with which
~ the Kaiser has desolated the world Is. SAYS
the Los Angeles Times, the knitting together in
ties OF interest and affection o. the two creates,
nations in the world Mr. Balfonr in a recent
speech expressed his great qualification at the hos
pitality OF the United States, which was not mere
ly formal and external, but obviously came from
the heart What moved him most. he said. was
'the spontaneous exhibition OF enthusiasm for the
common cause. 1t might have been in the power
OF unfortunate or ipdisereet emissares to check
that manifestation Of feeling. but Il was not in
the power Of individuals, however endowed, to
create il The mission was the occasion Of its
exhibition and not its cause"
Mr. Balfour declared that the American com
munity welcomed the opportunity Of declaring
their deep moral and spiritual agreement with the
policy pursued by the Entente Allies This was
the great result which could not be measured by
its effect on the war, but which would last with
the history Of the world as one Of the most bene67
cent developments Of international relations that
had ever occurred. M
Alliances between nations based upon temper
airy hopes and agreements Of aim between them
are never permanent They vanish leaving be-
hind friendly or unfriendly relations but not any
thing necessarily as a permanent basis. Coopera-
ton in this war between America and Great Bri-
lain is not based upon the proposition that each
has something to get for itself butt based upon
deep eongruity and harmony OF moral feelings
and moral ideals" This is its origin and so also
will be its history,
It will endure as long as the two nations are
content to pursue these great ideals.
Said Mr. Balfour:
As the alliance and cooperation with the United
States were based upon great moral considerations
and not upon desire in Britain in the United
States the instrument Of expansion
they might be quite certain that, as the United
States had gone in with the Allies for these great
ends they would never leave them till these great
ends accomplished. 49,. q, bstE
The people OF the United States believe that
the war in which they are embarked is conflict
between two Ideals the German ideal Of auto
crazy and the Angles Saxon ideal Of democracy.
and the people Of the Allied nations which term
now includes the people Of the United States
''are not going to abandon any effort or refuse
any sacrifice which may bring to happy fruition
the policy on which we are all cdhHilced depends
not only immediate prosperity shor us and our
children but the whole trend Of international and
civilized evolution az far as human eyes and
human powers Of foresight can venture to pene-
Ttrate the future.
The fact that we are not merely partners in
arms with Great Britain, but partners in spirit
and in purpose in the great war for freedom and
human rights, justify degree Of confidence in
the continuance Of our present close and friendly
relations which possibly might not otherwise be
entertained
