FIERY SPEECHES ON
BEHALF OF MOONEY
United Hebrew Trades "Ask No Aid
From Organized Labor or Presi-
dent Wilson,"
(By Associated Press.)

New York March 11.-The United
Hebrew Trades came to the rescue of
Tom Mooney, California labor lead
er convicted of murder At a mass
meeting here yesterday, Socialist
orators made fiery speeches in his
behalf, but denounced with almost
equal vigor Samuel Gompers and the
American Federation of Labor. There
were no indications that the breach
between the two labor organizatio
has been healed.
We ask no aid from orga nized
labor from Samuel Gompers down"
said Frank A. Slovenian. I'VE ask
no publicity from the capitalist
press. We ask no favor from the
Wilson's nor the judges of the courts.
nor the prosecution attorneys. But
Tom Mooney will never be hanged.
Three powers are paralyed when
Socialism makes a threat and Social
ism and revolution are behind
Mooney"
A similar stand was taken by the
other speakers.

EXIT Mr.. TRoTzKY.

Leon Trotzky rose like a sky
rocket and dropped like the stick.
Il one year ago he was earning SIS a
j week in New York writing for a
radical weekly newspaper journal.
I Within the year he rose to be min
lister of foreign affairs Of the new
ITepublic of Russia, and apparently
its real ruler. He was much more
an the public eye than Lenine, the
Ipremier, although Lenine himself is
said to be the more forceful character
by those who know something Of
Both men.
I Trotzky does not seem destined to
6gure again in world or even Rus
F&ian politics. He probably will drop
bout of view as Kerensl1y has done.
FIIis rise was an amazing incident Of
AN amazing revolution. Apparently
he possessed little ability as an
executive, but his fanaticism made
him a successful agitator. His gov
ernment will long be remembered as
b Russian Reign of Terror. 1t was
even more a class government than
the reign Of the Car, with the class
es reversed. Russia suffered as much
from class distinctions and tyranny,
land injustice as she did during the
! Cars reign, and without the benefits
that come from an established gov
srnment, however evil it may be.
lTrutzky and his companions. showed
I q wonderful ineptitude as rulers and
executives. Their crack Drained
theories of government have brought
Russia to the verge of humiliation
as a great power.
TrotzSy betrayed not only his own
country and the cause of democracy
throughout the world. but even his
own cause OF "a universal proletar-
ianism. de was never an heroic
ngare-a charlatan never is. He
would have been 1udicrous, If the
harm he did had not been so vast.
Almost the universal attitude toward
him now. is one Of contempt and dis

pears to be an ample supply of good
seed wheat in the northwest to seed
a largely increased acreage this
spring. According to Frank l..
Carey, head Of the Minnesota
Division of the Grain Corporation,
the federal government has already
shipped out 200 cars Of seed wheat,
and has a half a million bushels in
reserve in the elevators OF North
and South Dakota
1t is well that this matter should
be given immediate attention and
the campaign for distributing seed
wheat started early as possible. A
year ago distribution was neglected
until almost seeding time in the
northwest, and by the time various
interests were aroused and the work
begun of supplying farmers with
seed wheat, the season was too far
advanced to seed an increased acre
age.
If congress is to take such action
as suggested by Julius Barnes, to
give the farmers Of the northwest a
bonus Of several dollars an acre on
their wheat, on condition that they
market all their old wheat, above
what is needed for seed, between
now and June /, this should be
done without delay. There will be
strong protest against such scram-
bled economies, but If it is to be
done, It should be done at once.
Whatever inducements can be Of

acreage Of spring wheat should be
placed before him now, as he ia

Those who preach "defeatism" argue
that with Russia out of the war and
Germany stronger than ever, the
Allies cannot hope to win. AS yet,
nobody dares to openly advocate sur
render to Germany or asking for
peace terms, unless it be Victor
Berger in his senatorial platform, but
frequently loyal Americans can be
heard to express the sentiment that
Germany can't be beaten, or that
there doesn't seem to be any hope Of
winning for years to come.
Germany can be, must be and will
be beaten.
II any further proof were needed
that there is no alternative left to
the Allies but to defeat Germany de-
clsively, It was the peace treaty with
Russia.
There is no compromise with the
Hun.
1t must be all or nothing.
Germany has demonstrated that it
is impossible to live on terms of
equality and friendship with her.
Other nations must either be subject
to Germany's will, or they must
conquer her.
This is no time for further peace
talk. During the last few weeks the
Allies have permitted themselves to
discuss peace terms quite freely, in
the hope that Germany could be
shown that her destruction was not
desired il she would give assurance
that the laws of humanity and inter
national rights would be observed.
But the olive branch has been
rejected.
The time has come to talk war,
think war and wage war-not a 80
per cent, or a 40 per cent war, but a
100 per cent war.
America can afford no longer to
keep one eye directed back over her
shoulder, hoping that a German
revolution or an early peace will
make the great sacrifices unneces-
sary.
The Russian situation is bad, Of
course, but it is far from hopeless.
Germany Is long way from having
solved the eastern question. She has
piled up a great stock of future
trouble for herself on her eastern
border. Russia is seething with an
archy and revolution. The Polish |
question, so long slumbering, has |
been stirred. The Lithuanian prob |
lem is a dangerous one for Germany
for the people are Slavs with an ola |
grievance against the Teutons. Aus |
tria, moreover, has no further reason |
for remaining in the war, and frankly |
desires to get out. The menace Of |
Imperial Russia has been removed
from Austria, and this has always |
been the handspring of Austrian !
militarism.
German bayonets in great numbers |
are going to be needed on the eastern |
frontier for many months to come. |
We know the worst in Russia now. |
All the harm that can be done the !
Allies has been done, but Germany's |
troubles there are just beginning.
Therefore "defeatism" is not only
unwiss but uniustihed. This war
must be won if it takes one year, or
five years or ten years. and the
quickest way to win it is to devote ev-
cry possible energy to fighting. We |
have had enough peace offensives''
for some time to come. The next time
you hear "defeatism" talked, remem-
Der that the United States has done a |
little less in the field than Portugal,
as yet. She has not yet begun to
fight.

lust as a reminder, let us check
aver a few of the things that good
citizenship at this time demands OF
eli Of us.
We should all be saving a certain
sum each day and each week for
thrift stamps.
We should all be contributing
regularly what we can afford to the
Red Cross, and giving as much time
as possible to Red Cross work.
We should all be conserving food
not Just to the letter Of the instrpc-
lions of the food cards, but getting
into the real spirit Of the thing and
watching every grain Of -four and
sugar, and every ounce Of fats and
meats.
We should have given up our field
lsrlasses to the navy II we had any.
We should have familiarized our
lhelves with the income tax, made
our return and paid our tax in full
Sf it was possible.
We should be getting ready for the
lnext Liberty Loan drive.
We should be keeping a close guard
ON our tongue, and both ears wide
ppen for any hint Of sedition.
We should be planning a war
IEarden.
we should be sending a few books
10 soldiers libraries this week, and
Ewriting an occasional cheerful letter
20 a soldier acquaintance.
We should be cheeful, optimistic,
confident Of ultimate victory. but
determined to see it through what
aver the cost.

A QUESTION FOR MR.. BLAIR
Mr.. Albert Blair, who is heralded
as a Boston newspaper man, is
touring the state under the auspices
OF the Nonpartisan league. urging
the great need Of an independent
press.
In this plea, Mr.. Blair is on safe
ground. The only difference Of opin-
ion comes in what constitutes an
s.independent" press. Mr.. Blair, Of
course, attempts to show that the
Nonpartisan league organs are the
, only independent papers. The Forum
hasn't yet found any issue Of which
st couldn't or wouldn't give both
sides in its news columns. 1t would
be interesting to have Mr.. Blair ex-
plain why no mention has yet been
made in The Fargo. Courier-News of
the Townley store scheme, and |
whether he considers a paper that
can thus be gagged by its owners,
an independent or a kept press.

ing guilty Of disloyalty to the

ed to three months in jail and to
pay a fine of 5000. He is an
NOnpartisan movement, and was
defended by a partner of Jim

which brings this charge of dis
loyalty pretty close to the Nom
partisan nest. Disloyalty evil

ton of a pamphlet is said to be
