SPOKANE CONTINUES HEAD
QUARTERS FOR |. w. W.

When men openly advocate viola
ton of the law, obstruction of proper
ty, intimidation. disloyalty and sedi-
tioN, the authorities In most American
communities do not attempt to draw
nice distinctions as to whether or not
there Is a particular law that applies
to the case. They know that every
state has statutes designed for pro-
lection against just such attacks. and
while 1t Is desirable to have more spe-
cific laws In some states, the fact re-
mains that If officers are determined
to carry out the spirit of their sworn
duties. they can find laws under which
they can act in suppressing these at
lacks on individuals and orderly gov
eminent. Especially can they do this
II there is courageous public senti-
ment in the community that demands
that the laws be respected and en-
forced.
When, therefore. the mayor of Spo-
kane says there iS no law to prevent
the l. w. W. street meetings In which
treason and anarchy is preached, and
the prosecuting attorney of Spokane
county attempts to excuse his inaction
by blaming the governor for vetoing
the syndicalism law, they simply show
evidence of lack of moral courage
to perform their duties. The fact
that the people Of Spokane passively
view these treasanble assemblages
daily in the streets of the city with
out demanding that they be dispersed
and rendering their services to the
authorities, shows that the spirit
which must ultimately be relied upon
to uphold the law is lamentably weak
The attitude of Spokane toward the
i. w. w. adds UNNECESSARILY to the
difficulty in suppressing the menace
in Idaho. The leaders make their
headquarters in Spokane, where they
have free hand in disseminating
their iniquitdss creed and from which
orders are issued to their agents in the
agricultural and mining Sec
tons of Idaho for the purpose of ter
the people and tying up the
industries of the state. So long as
Spokane makes no attempt to suppress
the work of the agitators in that city,
she can not escape responsibility for
much of the damage that has been and
Is being wrought in Idaho.
So far as we know there is no at
tempt being made to institute boy
colt directed against Spokane bust
ness men, bu. 1t Is fact that there is
IN intense feeling throughout north
IDAHO against Spokane, particularly
among business men who trade in

spokane wholesalers will be made to
eel the effects of it. To say that there

required.

had I heard this tale that l began
to think it so, and said, "The land
