ARREST OF TOWNLEY

According to a dispatch A. c. Town
ley is being prosecuted for alleged
reasonable utterances in Minnesota,
said alleged utterances being, it is
said. in violation of the laws of that
state
It is manifestly improper to com
ment during the tendency of a Grim
inal case on the guilt or innocence of
the defendant, especially when the
facts are not known; and they are
not known in this part of the coun-
try by anyone not present at the meet
ing where the speech is said to have
been made. 1t will, however, not be
surprising should many in 1.-THE valor
of ignorance" discuss this matter pro
and con before any evidence of an
authentic character has been produc-
ed. On one hand, there will no doubt
be those who will assert that the af-
fair is a "frame-up" and a perse-
cution. On the other hand, some, with
equally meagre facts on which to base
an opinion, will probably confidently
declare that he is a traitor The more
sane and cautious will await the pre-
sentation of the evidence in court be-
fore making up their minds.
The presumption in this case, as in
all criminal cases, is in favor of the
defendant. 1t will not do to say that
the officers of the law must have had
a good case before they filed the COM
plant Even the ablest and most I'M
biased of prosecuting officers err oc-
casionally in starting criminal pro-
ceedings. And some prosecuting Of
ficers are neither able no unbiased.
AT the same time, it is neither fair
nor reasonable to assume that the
prosecution is necessarily a persecu-
ton. Townley's speech here was al
that could be desired in the way Of
patriotism But the intimation thai
he had said seditious things before
he came to Idaho was persistently
circulated; whether with or without
reason, it is impossible for those not
on the ground to say. Under such
circumstances, therefore, the duty OF
the average citizen is to presume that
Mr.. Townley is innocent until he has
been proven guilty and to assume I'M
til his remarks are properly anthem
ticated and shown to be pernicious
that what he said was a legitimate

STANDING BY WILSON

William Howard Taft stands firmly
by President Wilson in the conduct of
this great war for Democracy. He
has never allowed his partisan affili-
atoms to cause him to swerve from
his duty as a patriot The former
president agrees perfectly with the
president of today, not only in what
should be done while the war is go
ing on, but also in regard to what
ended
Speaking on the subject of "The
Great War" at Camp Funston, near
Junction City. Kansas. last Monday.
Mr.. Taft said, in part.
"The allies are fighting for prin-
ciple, the maintenance of which af-
fects the future of civilization If
they do not achieve it. they have
sacrificed the flower of their youth
and mortgaged their future for cen
tury. The allies cannot 'concede
peace until they conquer it. When
they do so it will be permanent. 9th
erwise they fail.
President Wilson says the allies
are fighting to make the world safe
| for democracy. Some misconception
has been created on this head. The
allies are not struggling to force a
particular form of government on
Germany. If the German people con-
tinue to wish an Emperor, it is not
the purpose of the allies to require
them to have a republic Their pur-
pose is to end the military policy and
foreign policy of Germany that looks
to the maintenance of a military and
naval machine, with its hair-trigger
preparation for use against her neigh
bors. If this continues it will entail
on every democratic government the
duty of maintaining a similar arma-
ment in self defense. or, what is
more likely. the duty will be wholly
or partially neglected. Thus the
and destiny will threaten every
democracy. This is the condition
which it is the determined purpose of
the allies, as interpreted by President
Wilson, TO change.
How is the change 70 be effected
BY defeating Germany in this war
| The German people have been very
| loyal to their Emperor. because his
leadership accords with the false
philosophy of the State and German
destiny with which they have been
doctrinated and poisoned A defeat Of
| the military machine must open their
eyes to the hideous futility of their
political course. The German Gov
eminent will then be changed as its
people will have 1t changed. to avoid
| the recurrence of such a tragedy as
they have deliberately prepared for
| themselves.
when the war is won the United
States will wish to be heard as to
peace terms. The United States will
insist on just peace. not one of ma

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.A diplo- matic despatch received here states that the Betlin LcLal An1 eiger mas given out the intol nation ttat commission composed of the different parties of the ie ohsta, hfve a.r-ady discussed at some lIr3th the ques- tion of prosecuting the principal statesmen who have been directing the policies of Germany s'nc9 the war began.
 The tendency of the commission is toward Bethmann-HCllweg, wlose ad- vice and teachings have done much to keep the German people under the of their leaders. But for him, it is asserted, peace negotiations would have been entered into long before this, saving to the country many of the men reeded for the up building of its industries and the saving of a larger war inde mnity to the allied poweIs. Other leaders in the personal cabinet of the kaiser are under consideration and it is doubtful if they will cease with these.
