THE MILES
CITY CASE
"A case in point occurred at Miles
City. In this instance the fragrant
violation of law was aggravated by
farcical local prosecution, and was
marked both in the infraction of the
law and in the miscarriage of JUS
tice by either the active participa-
ton in those events or by the open
sympathy and support of some mem
bers of the local county council of
defense.
s'In relation to the criminal pro-
ceedings in this case I wish to state
some particulars for your informa
ton: Upon affidavit of one J. A.
McGlynn, that he had been denied
the right to make a public address
at Miles City, and had been taken
to train and instructed to leave
the town at once, I directed the
county attorney of Custer county to
investigate and institute the proper
proceedings against the persons who
had thus violated the law.
SOME OUT
OF THE CITY
awhile but four or five persons
were charged in McGlynn's affidavit
with the action against him stated,
the county attorney on his own mo-
ton made twenty-one defendants in
the proceeding that he subsequently
instituted. 1t later developed that
several of these defendants vert
not in Miles City at the time the
acts recited above were committed
and hence could have no possible
connection with them. Whether OF
not the county attorney included the
names of these twenty-on men in
the prosecution for the purpose OF
discreditmg and defeating the ends
of justica, I am unable to say.
My own connection with the case
was misrepresented. Because in a
letter I asked protection for Nc
Glynn and his witnesses, it was made
to appear that | was afraid physical
5iolence would be offered me.
ATTEMPT
TO RIDICULE
There was nothing in my letter
to in the least justify such deduc-
ton; nor did | at any time fear thass
Iswould fail to receive the protection
to which | was entitled both as a
citizen and as an officer charged with
the enforcement of the law. How
ever, from this and other circum-
stances, it appears very plain to me
that there was concerted attempt
| by interested persons at Miles City
to ridicule the prosecution that 1t
was the sworn duty of myself and
the county attorney to institute and
maintain with diligence and SINGER
ity; to make light of serious in
fraction of the law, and to defeat the
ends of justice.
II will add for your information
thatI went to Miles City at the
county attorneys request, and that
when learned that there was no
ground for the prosecution of some
of the defendants, I moved their dis
missal.
RESULT WAS
/ FOREGONE CONCLUSION
"This action, in the light of later
events, was unnecessary, for all the
defendants were discharged by the
justice of the peace before whom the
Preliminary hearing was made, with
out the introduction of a word of
evidence for the defense, upon the
pleas of counsel for the defendants
that McGlynn had been deported to
protect him from anticipated vio--

 Tonight is the night of the big game at the EagleHall when the fans will turn out by the hundreds to see the great athletic games and incidently to witness the settling of the dispute for the much lament ed "ANGORA" which originally was the property of the All Nome basket ball team. This animal has been in the possession of the Nome High School for almost two weeks and from all accounts has not been receiving the best of treatment. Naturally the original owners are much wrought up over the condi- ton of Billy and will spare no effort in taking it back home.
 The baseball game between Fort Davis and the Sourdough aggrega- tions will be the first item on the program after which the old Orig nal Pygmies and Midgets will give the audience a thrill for half an hour. At the conclusion of this event will come the wonderful struggle for the basket ball champ ionship, and incidently the COAT

 Several hundred dollars have been bet on the basket ball event and even in the baseball game many or the old time fans have bet that the result will be mighty close. Great things are expected from Mcclure who states that he will pitch the game of his life. Al Lomen will catch for the brick topped pitcher.

TIME FOR SERIOUS REFLECTION,

TIME FOR SERIOUS REFLECTION.
While those Of MS Americans who have
been yainglorious and boastful are los.
ing some Of our super6cialites of thought
and talk, there is nevertheless great need
for the nation as whole TO take account
Of stock seriously and TO view with calm
Judgment the business in hand We have
passed through the spread eagle stage Of
our participation in the war and We are
ready TO take more judicial view Of the
situations that are confronting US.
Therefore, the action of the president in
setting aside "a day of public humilia.
tion, prayer and fasting commends IT,
self strongly. The purpose of the day
is to place the American people in the
proper spirit of quiet courage to carry
on the work set for the nation TO do, to
throw off the last remaining vestiges of
our national vanity and get down to
brass tacks. We cannot win the war by
blatant mouthines or paper planning
We must have concerted seriousness of
purpose from one end of the nation to
the other. As a means toward gaining
that, the day Of humiliation, prayer and
fasting will so be useful. Hence let us
turn on next Memorial day to new and
broader contemplation of that which the
old day means. Let us eliminate as !
much as possible the lighter and more
frivolous features of the holiday and let
us consider the duties which are facing
this nation. 1t will be easier to do this
the coming May 30 because of the fact
that hundreds of thousands of homes
throughout the land are now offering the
sacrifice of their loved ones in the cause
of democracy and international right liv
ing. There should be new significance to
the days observance,

CURRENT COMMENT
Congressman Greene HOnored.

Gratifying recognition for Congress
man Frank l.. Greene and through him
for the state of Vermont is involved in
his selection as one of committee of
three from the Republican congressional
campaign committee to act with sim
liar number from the United States SEN
ate, sitting with Chairman Hays of the
Republican national committee, to form
ulate policies for the coming national
campaign.
This will be no boys job. In this war
period the advantages all rest with the
party in power 1t is an easy matter to
capitalize patriotism for party purposes
1t is not difficult to brand any move
whatever made by Republicans in opposi-
ton to any move whatever by the ad-
ministration party as unpatriotic and
even pro-German. When a leading mem
Der of the present administration stamps
the demand for accelerated production of
airplanes as pro-German, it is manifestly
possible to give German twist to any
thing that does not dovetail into the
plans and interests Of the party in pow
err
Under these circumstances the problem
of formulating party policies is no easy
task. We believe Chairman Hays is right
in declaring that Republicans will stand
first for the winning of the war. That
is genuine patriotism We shall CON
tinue to call for efficiency in the winning
of the war even though efforts to hedge
against the call for plenty of planes may
take the form of raising the cry of pro-
Germanism.
1t is more pro-German not to produce
planes than it is to demand their produc-
ton. The American peoples good sense
can be left to interpret all these matters
Alright.
May good fortune await upon Chair |
man Hays, Congressman Greene and
their colleagues as they seek to formu |
late policies that stand for genuine pa
triotism and efficiency in war.
1t is still true that he serves his party |
best who serves his country est.--Bur-
ington Free Press.

The activity displayed by the British
naval forces in carrying out the bold at
taeks on the German submarine bases at
Zeebrugge and Ostend is one of the most
encouraging features of the war just at
the present time. 1t has been recognized
that the British navy had the power TO
meet any and all corners in the open
stand-up fight, but it has been so ham
pered by various demands for warships
in every part of the globe that its
strength was greatly reduced for often
sive action in the place where the enemy
concentrated his greatest strength Now,
however, backed up by the American
navy, the British admiralty is more free
to carry out offensive moves of the ma
ture of those worked against the subma-
rine bases. There is bare possibility,
too, that the infusion of new blood into
the sea fighting has given a new impetus.

If Italy is in a position to lend nearly
quarter of million men to General
Foch's allied army in France, the menace
of an Austrian offensive against Italy
cannot be taken very seriously in allied
war councils, albeit it has been appearing
with marked regularity in the resumes
of the war situation from other sources.
If Italy is expecting major operation
by the enemy on her northern frontier
she would not send away a large section
of her available reserves, nor would she
be called upon by the other nations to do
so. The Austrian menace on the Italian
front may be looked upon as bluff, es-
pecially in view of the disturbed internal
conditions of the dual monarchy.

Misuse of Tobacco.

In this discussion concerning tobacco
isn't the nub of it that great many PEG
pie who use tobacco like it, and excuse OF
defend the use of it because they like it
while great many others who do not
like it, attack it on various grounds, but
their real objection to it is because to
them tobacco is offensive? The number
of people who use tobacco and revile il
and those who do not, but have no objec.
tion to others using it, would never get
into contention over it.
This brings up phase of the matter
that tobacco users should consider
Would it not be well for them to desist
from smoking and chewing under situa-
tions that offend other people, lest in the
end they provoke resentment so deep
seated as to put the ban on the weed al
together? Very few people object to a
mans going off by himself and smoking,
it Is only when he makes himself nuis-
ance to others by his habit that com
plant arises in any marked degree.
Smokers do often impose themselves in
way that makes it exceedingly I'M
comfortable for non smokers, and the
latter Just as often wish they could be
relieved, if by no other means than stop

attention to their feelings, known or
otherwise, but who puff and spit regard

not actual nausea. Men who count them

this respect.
