Our solitary woman representative in Congress, Miss
Jeanette Rankin of Montana has introduced resolution
the National House of Representatives which proposes
that rhe United States shall recognize Irelands right

Uncle Samuel is telling Brother Jonathan that:- Govt SWindlers should be punished as Traitors by Military Law.

In the wake Of every war there trails the slmy pathway of the gratter and the spoilsman-infamous appenden- dages or mighty movement in history.
 Nothing so deeply stirs the indignl- ton and the scorn of honest men as the swindling of the government, It is bad enough in time of peace. But when the country is at war-to rob d government glappling with giant diff culties and facing titanlrc foes seems a crime 50 infamous that it is difficult to deal with it in ordinary moderation.
 The man who steals from the gov ernment at peace is an ungreatful thief
 But the man who at one and the same time robs the government and fighting soldiers in time of war is at one and the same time thief, traitor an da scoundrel,
 But mere epithets do not carry the stern punishment which fits the monstrous crime. There are stronger lashes than words to be laid upon the backs of criminals.
 Here is the most fragrant case in point.
 The Grand Jury has voted and Assistant United States District Attor- |. A In1 in, dictment against three prominent bus mess firms and four officers with two United States Government inspectors for entering into a conspiracy to de- fraud the war government and to rob the whole body of the soldiers in the manufacture of aImy hats.
 The corporations indicted are: Thom and Baily, Nos and Washington place; Fl. D, Paimelee and Co.,, of New York and New Jersey, and the Peekskill Hat Manufacturing Com pany. of Peekskiu, New York. Will lam B. Thom is president of the first ochnpany, John J SlatteIy is president and Edward SIattery foreman of the mixing room of the second and Joseph Ives treasurer of the Peeks|<iu com pany.
 These men obtained through Sig. mund Eisner ,a contractor controct, for $1750.ooO of cavcpaisn hats for tn, government ct one time, and $125o, o0o of campaign mats at another time making total of $S,oQO,OO0. Eisnai received py.r cent commission iron the manufacturers The contracts call ed for the use ot high grade furs il the making of the felt for the hats coney backs hare and muslrat fu hoing the specified Ingredients. Bu instead of fulfilling an honorable con tract, these hatters and four officers with the cooperation of the govern ment, inspectors, Arthur c Gilson a I'cehe..ill and Peter Duffy at the Par melee factory, substituted what i known as blown fur, of fur of a yer, inferior quality, anf turned over t the government more than a million in ferior hats which are now in use, in capable Of standing bad weather hat that lost shape, hats that shrank warped and swelled as a result of at

moSpheric changes, and were So un1lt uncomfortable and unwholesome for the soldiers that they must be throwr away after three months use and the government compelled to buy four hats where one proper and honest hat Meanwhile the criminal manufac- turers, it is reported, have reaped of I their rascanty tremendous profit mounting far up into the hundreds Of thousands of dollars
 A more fragrant comprehensive and infamous swindle of the government and the soldiers has not stained the progress of the war.
 The manufacturers, Thom and Slat- tely and Ives and Edward Slattery, have been indicted and are enjoying their liberty for a time under bonds ranging from $5,OOo down. They ought to be more.
 The two inspectors, Duffy and Gil son, have been dismissed, which is a i punishment all to light.
 The prosecution of this crime before the court by the Federal officials will ! be the first of it's kind during the war.
 It is therefore, of the utmost im- portance as a vindication and as an example to those who may expect in the future to defraud the government and to swindle the brave American in uniform.
 In case of conviction in the regular courts, the defendants in this shame full suit may receive maximum prison sentences of two years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
 | 1t is a serious question whether the civil courts carry penalties severe enough for crime of such magnitude, This is the time to plant the heavy i heel of a stronger than civil authority upon iniquties like this
 Frauds of this character-frauds which effect the efficiency of our sol diers fighting for their country and their fellow citizens-frauds which put money above patriotism and which may effect the health and endanger the life of every soldier-frauds which demonstrate such absolute and shame : ful dsloyalty to the country and the country's cause and the country's hero lie defenders-SHOULD RATHER ! STAND BEFORE MARTIAL LAW, TO BE TRIED BY COURT MARTIAL, ! LAND THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HOUND GUILTY SHOULD BE PUN 1 ISHED BY THE STEINER FIND jINCS OF A MILITARY COURT.
 It is time to bruise this serpents' head now, in the beginning, lest others Of his breed should make their appear ance if the breed is not suppressed. 1 Embalmed beef scandles and all frauds of this type and character are : in their very essence reasonable more reasonable by far than other 1 things which are defined as traseon- AND THEY SHOULD BE TRIED AS l TREASON AND PUNISHED AS TREASON BEFORE THE SEVERE 1 MILITARY COURT.
 The spirit of the country is ripe for the suppression now in the beginning O fthe foul spirit of taking advantage of our government in it's trials and ol our soldiers in their heroic helpless ness by defrauding the one and swind- ling the other or in exploiting both ir | government contracts and in all ex
 tortionote charges, or in the hypocrisy
 of fraudulent charity bazaars.
 WE MIGHT AS WELL MAKE AN
 HEROIC EXAMPLE, OF THESE
 CRIMINALS IN THE BEGINNING
