A "WOBBLY" DEFENSE AND A
 WOBBLY PURPOSE.
CPhoenix Gazette)

Crimes have been committed in Arizo- ma. but they are not chargeable to the l.. w. w.
 Quoting the above from an article which appeared in the New York Evening Post, Gov Hunt makes use of it in his first mes sage to the special session of the third legis- lature to defend that outlaw organization
 Having found one quotation so pat tor his purpose, the governor follows with an- other which he attempts to make serve, and in doing so he offers an insult to the honest and patriotic labor which is not identified with the l. w. w. and to those labor organ izations affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor and which denounce the l. w. w. and prohibit the members from that outlaw organization belonging to the affiliated unions.
 Labor of America, quotes the gover nor from John R. Lawson, of Colorado, who is etating labor's position during the war, will stand solidly behind the presi- dent until every enerily of Christian civili- zation has been either conquered or driven from the earth. Labor in America will lead the world in its devotion and sacrifice to flag and country, and labor in Colorado will stand second to none in America.
 Noble sentiments and splendidly spoken, yet can they by any stretch of imagination be attributed to the l. w. w. or to repre- sent the feelings of a single adherent to the tenets of that traitorous organization? Yet the governor glibly passes from one to the other in his counsel to the legislators. Hon est and honorable labor, such as Lawson Is speaking for, will resent being coupled with class recognized as being criminal in purpose and cruel in act By no juggling of phrases, with which the message abounds, can the governor incite sympathy for the outcasts and his purpose in reading into the record of the legislature matter that can have no possible connection with the purpose for which 1t was called is all too apparent
 The merits of the deportation at Bisbee are not matters for public discussion at this time, when the federal court has for trial a score or more of indictments as the out come of that affair The governor pro- ceeds to try these cases before the legislat- ure and to render verdict This message of the governor Is to be given wide circu- lduOn among lne electorate or InlS state, from which is to be secured jury to try these cases. The message of the governor disposes of any necessity for consideration by this jury. The findings are there in the message.
 But there are other indictments, brought by federal jury outside of this state, for which jury has been secured and they are now being tried. These are more than 100 members of the l. w. w. brought to bar in Chicago for trial before Judge Ken esaw Mountain Landis, charged with con spiracy against the government of the Un- ited States and various crimes of sabotage. A number of these defendants in the Chica- go trial were taken in Arizona, where they had been living for some time past and during the time specified in the indict- ments.
 We will await with interest the verdict of this Chicago jury and then we will know if crimes have been committed in Arizo- na, but they are not chargeable to the ]. w. w"
