EDITORIAL

Publishers can send free copies
to camp Libraries of organi-
cations recognized by the govern
ment, such as the Red Cross, Y.
M. c. A. and the Knights of
Columbus, but cannot send free
copies to individual soldiers in
camps.
The above is one section from the
rather drastic order recently promul-
gated by Thomas E. Donnelley, chief
of the pulp and paper section of the
war industries board. Other sections
of the order which will affect pub
fishers of weekly newspapers are as
follows:-
Discontinue the use of all
sample and free promotion
copies.
Discontinue giving copies to
anyone except for Office working
copies or where required by
statute, like in official adver-
tising.
Discontinue giving free copies
to advertisers, except not more
than one copy each for checking
purposes.
Discontinue all free exchanges.
This order was deemed necessary
for the conservation of paper and
paper materials, and to meet if pos
sible the serious situation which con-
fronts the paper supply of the nation.
The True Northerner regrets, as
does every publisher in the land, the
necessity for the order. We have
been sending copies of The True
Northerner each week, to all the local
soldier boys in camp and at the
front. We have been glad to do it,
and the letters of appreciation re-
ceived weekly from the boys have
been ample compensation. However,
we have no criticism to make. We
know that the weekly visit of the
paper will be missed by the boys at
the front and in camp, but we are
numbered among the loyal soldiers
back home, and like all good soldiers,
will obey the ordes Of our superiors
without question and without mur-
mur.
We will be pleased to continue
sending The True Northerner to any
soldier, whose parents or friends de-
sire to subscribe for him, but it must
be a. bona fide paid subscription to
comply with the government order.
The county exchanges which we al
ways enjoy, and which we cannot get
along without, we will want, and will
mail checks for subscription just as
soon as possible. Those of our
brother publishers who desire The
True Northerner as in the past, may
remit for the same at their conven-
ience.
1t will take some little time to get
the subscription list adjusted to meet
the new requirements; but no matter
what the orders may be, and regard
less of the sacrifice it may cause for
us or our friends, we are ready TO
obey

Have you seen the Chautauqua pro-
grams yet? If not, get one at any
of the business places in the village
and look the program over carefully.
1t is one of the strongest and best
proportioned programs ever offered

One cannot afford to miss single
number.
The new draft age bill which will
be rushed through congress, will
make every man from the age of 1S
tc as inclusive available for war SER
vice. This law will put the nation on
a sound and equitable foundation. 1t
is nc. expected of course that every
person within those ages will become
scidels; but it will provide the MEN
for any service the governme,. may
need. 1t will speed up the making
of soldiers, and increase the number
that is weekly being sent across. 1t
will provide the men for an army of
a million in the training camps con-
stantly. The entire resources of the
nation, man power and wealth will
be enlisted in the cause, and there
will be no letting up until the victory
is won. One cannot view the accom-
plishments of the year, without
amazement, and the accomplishments
will be still more amazing one year
from today.

MRS. STOKES ARRESTED ANEW AT <s..z@es~#.
TRIAL OF SOCIALIST DEBS BY
MAN SHE CALLED JUST JUDGE
If She Goes to Prison She Hopes
She'll Meet Nice People
By MARGUERITE EDWARDS

Cleveland. O., Sept. 14.--ROse Pas
tor Stokes, millionaire Socialist lead
err, simply can't behave to suit Unit
| ed States federal Judge!
I At the trial Of Eugene V. Debs, So
cialist leader, Mrs Stokes said right
out that she thought Judge d. c.
Westhaver looked like a nice man
who could be counted on for fairness
and justice-and that very afternoon
nice Judge Westenhaver had Mrs.
Stokes arrested for "riotous disorder"
Mrs. Stokes was recently sentenced
| to ten years in prison for seditious
writings, by the Kansas City federal
! court But that experience hasn't
taught her to respect judicial dignity.
Right in the middle of a court ses-
sion she "riotously" clapped her
hands. So did five young men wear
| ing red neckties
This occurred when Seymour Sted-
man. Socialist lawyer Of Chicago. ad-
dressed the jury in defense Of Debs,
saying-"By his life and his work we
are content ito have him judged"
Immediately after the riotous ap-
plause the judge sent policeman for
Mrs. Stokes and her fellow enthusi-
asts. William Guinea, also Chicago
attorney and Socialist, interceded for
the culprts, declaring that they were
"Only human and, ignorant OF court
procedure, were carried away by their
sympathies.
Judge Westenhaver looked very
cross and for few minutes Mrs.
Stokes appeared to be threatened with
doubled ten years in Jail, but she
has such beautiful red hair. and such
a mild xpression-anyway, they all
got off with fine and reprimand.
Mrs. Stokes in court makes copionS
notes. Her dress suggests neither
the Socialist nor the milliOnaire-a
tailored serge suit, white silk blouse,
chick black hat, gray silk hose, and
black pumps ALMOST shabby.
Some women whose government
think it wise to send them to jail
might feel some resentment. Mrs.
Stokes doesn't seem to.
sat next her all during the morn
ing session. She did not know l was
a reporter Presently she whispered
to me, "Who is the JUDGE
Judge D. c. Westensaver," l re-
piled.
do you know anything about him?
is he favorable or opposed to radi-
cal social and industrial ideas?'
II don't know--but I know that he
was appointed at the instance of Sec
rotary of War Baker-and that the
appointment had the approval of Pres
ident Wilson" T.,
"Oh-well-if that's true we can
trust him to be fair and just know
he's all right if THEY think SOL"
During noon recess Mr.. Stokes went
to lunch with Mr.. Debs. l suddenly
had vision of her dainty figure in
the ugly garb of prison wonderland
l followed to ask her:
Mrs. Stokes, what WILL you do if
you actually have to serve that ten
yearsentence?' IT,. As
why, l haven't even thought about
that she replied. But l think I
should find plenty Of work and plenty
OF good people--even in prison"
