A has-been is a man who once was.

That is why he looks so sad.
The Russian people think that il
was worth all the war they have had
to get rid of this man.

he said that about the most distress

The lynching at Buttle, Mont, of
Frank Little of the executive board

World was deplorable and detest'
able crime, whose perpetrators should
he found, tried and punished by the
law and justice they have outraged.
Public order and security, often dis
turbed and endangered by: members of
the |. w. W., are as much hurt in their
essence and spirit by this lawlessness
of presumed volunteer defenders of
the law as by the violence of the
society for which they unconsciously
make sympathy by this murder.
Not in palliation of the Buttle as
sassins, but in warning to seditious
and violent persons of fiery speech.
the language and acts of Little, that
brought him to his end, should be re-
called. He told the governor of Ari-
iona, 81 don't give d--n for your
