The Frances Willard meeting with Mrs. c. B. Andrews yesterday after noon was one of inspiration, as is all ways the case when reviewing the life of such pioneer of reform. There is something very stirring in reading the life of one who dared and did in times of Encouragement, when even those whom the world calls the high est, stand in opposition. . On memory's canvas has been written many thrilling scenes in the life of our sainted leader which were brought out at the meeting and which thrilled those present with not only a new inspiration, but a new determin- ation. One little Recruit was dedi- cated by. having the ribbon tied on his wrist-Edgar Taggart.

not in national life, we have terrible

JOSEPH GILBERT
CONVICTED

RED WING, MINI. - Joseph
Gilbert, manager of the National
PARTISAN leauge, an organ
ization of farmers, was convicted
Of disloyal utterances here Sat-
urday.
Gilbert was sentenced to one
year in prison and fined $500. A
stay of 60 days in execution of
sentence was granted on the plea
of his attorneys, with the pro-
viso that he forego league activ-
tiles in Goodhue county during
that time. His attorneys today
told newspaper reporters that an
appeal for new trial would be
perfected during that 60 days.
Prosecution was based upon a
speech Gilbert made at Kenyon
last August. Other speakers at
the meeting were N. S. Randall,
convicted, and Louis Martin, &C
quilted, of similar charges in
previous trials here.

|. W. W. MONEY

The press in general carries
so much unfavorable comment
upon the l. w. w. that some of
the facts not discreditable to the
organization which come out in
the trial of its leaders at Chicago
ought in fairness to be noticed.
A good deal of a point has
been made of the increasingly
large sums of money which the
Governments accountant testified
came into the l. w. w. treasury
during the summer of 1917. The
statements of the same account
ant on cross-examination were,
however, pretty generally ignored.
The accountant said that while
he had access to all the books
of the l. w. w. seized by the
Government, he had failed to find
in them that any money received
by the l. w. w. during the sum-
mer of 1917 or at any other time
came from sources other than the
regular sources of /. w. w. rev.
enue-dues, stamps, initiation fees
and the like. Mr.. Vanderveer
asked him specifically whether
any money had been received from
German or other sources hostile
to the United States. The wit
ness specifically answered "No."
Few of the newspapers which
the writer has seen carried an
account of this testimony, al
though it's Importance seems OBJ
vious.

In the absence of United States

The arrest of the 21st man is

Judge Sawtelle, in his charge
to the jury last week, instructed

of conspiracy to deprive citizens
of their rights be considered, but
that the question of the obstruc-

a large number of registered
men also should be considered.

SPOKANE, Wash.-Again has
Spokane been made safe for de-
MOCKracy, and this time the
City Dads aver it is for keeps,
unless the wicked Huns, spurred
on by a brutal masterclass, should
take a shy at US via the aerial
route; for the local l. w. w. or
ganization has been, temporarily
at least, squelched. And again
without process of law men have
been imprisoned, and all of their
Constitutional guarantees ignored,
and an organization existing pri-
marily for the legal defense of
men already imprisoned has been
ruthlessly broken up.
The local police force invaded
the |. w. w. headquarters here,
and placed ga members, three of
them women, under arrest. Most
of them were later released and
told to leave town. Twenty-Five
were held.
The Spokane capitalist papers
have been pounding the Wobblies
for weeks. They said that Spo-
kane had become known national
ly as 'The |. w. w. Heaven"
(And this in face of the fact that
ground pig-snouts are retailing
at almost 20 cents pound, and
doughnuts have shrunk to the
size of Spanish peanuts.) They
also said it was a disgrace for
Spokane to harbor any kind of a
Wobblie, and that all radicals
were pro-Hun and should be cast
into utter outer darkness. They
kept up this line of dope" for
weeks. Then the Latah Protec-
tive Association opened up on
Spokane from Moscow, quite a
long shot, but that's nothing now
a-days, declaring Spokane was
the breeding place of discomfort,
disloyalty, short hours, and long
pay, and as much was a menace
to her more respectable neighbors
of Idaho. The straw that broke
