IS THE LAW A FARCE?

Emma Goldman and Alexander Berk-
man, anarchists, were sent to prison a
few days ago, after trial for conspiring
to obstruct the draft. Their sentence was
for two years. They are already free
and doubtless ARE again plotting against
the government. Their release was made
possible by what is called writ of error
granted by Judge Brandeis. one of the
justices of the supreme court of the
United States The President persisted
in appointing Mr.. Brandeis as Judge in
spite of protests from all over the coun-
try The grounds assigned which led to
the granting of the writ of error are re-
ported to be that no conspiracy was
proved and that the CONSUMPTION law is
unconstitutional.
In Washington 10 suffragists were ar
rested, tried and sent to the workhouse
for 60 days each. In As hours they were
free, pardoned by the President, and seem
to be as militant as before. Judge Bran
deis and the President may both have
done right, but right or wrong the lesson
seems fairly plain that our boosted form
of government is still in the kinder
garten class.

not entirely correct. 1t is expected that
the official list will be posted at the board
headquarters at the courthouse, Belfast,

up double the quota of Waldo Co. which
will probably be about $50 men. This
number will be taken in the order in
which they were drawn. One third of
these men will report in five days, one
third in six days and one third in seven
days from posting of lists for examina-
ton, and will be notified by mail Fail
ure to receive notification by mail will
excuse no one for not reporting within
seven days.

SHAMEFUL HISTORY.

On the 4th day of last March President
Wilson entered upon his duties for a Sec
onG term, and both houses of congress
assembled for business. At that time
prices of food and fuel were scandalously
inflated, and everybody knew that con-
sumers were held in the merciIess grasp
of spectators who were robbing the peo-
pie of millions of dollars every week
The demand was insistent that it was the
imperative and immediate duty of con-
gress to pass a law for the suppression of
this high handed outrage, but nothing was
attempted until about the middle of May,
when a food control bill was introduced
in the House of Representatives. About
SIX weeks ago the House passed this bill
and it was sent to the Senate for passage
there The Senate proceeded to add
amendments to the bill, which led to de-
bates and delay for over month, and
last Saturday piece of patchwork legis-
lature passed the Senate, more variegated
in its makeup than was Joseph's coat of
many colors. The bill has now gone back
to the House for debate on the Senate
amendments and no one knows how
long the debate will delay the passage of
the bill. The prediction comes from
Washington that the bill will become
law about the first of August. Nearly
four months of talk and promises, have
passed, nothing has been settled in these
matters which should have had prompt
attention, and corn is selling in Belfast
market today for two dollars and nine
teen cents bushel.
Speculation is rolling on merrily and
spectators are piling up profits while
they laugh at a puerile Congress which
pays no heed to the President when he
urges them to act, and utterly disregarts
the welfare of the people
