WILSON'S PROPOSED TRIP.

While Americans will view with some
trepidation the proposal of President
Wilson to cross the ocean and to attend
the preliminary meetings of the peace
conference there will, nevertheless, be
quite general agreement in the propriety
Of the thing. President Wilson has been
one of the central figures of the war; he
has, in fact, named the principles on
which the allies were willing to make
peace with Germany and the other cen
trail powers, and which have been accept
ed in most essentials by our allies. More
over, he represents nation which Is
more than 5000 miles removed from the
seat of the peace conference, so that com
munication between the American dele
gates at the peace conference and Wash
ington is rather difficult and unsatisfac
tory. Under such conditions it would be
a trying matter for President Wilson to
fix his impress on the peace conference.
All OF that can be avoided by his actual
participation in the early phases Of the
conference at least So there will be no
general objection to the plan which he
has outlined, that Of making the voyage
across the ocean to meet the conferees at
Versailles, 1t viii leave the United
States virtually without an executive
head for period Of perhaps a month

er and less pressing matters could be held

that such trip as Wilson proposes
would be fraught with considerable dan
gers, the American people viii not raise
any general objection; and we presume,
Of course, that every step win be taken

but such powers as are needed to be ex-
ercised during that time can probably be
delegated to some other officials in the
government. If grave matters arise

OF the president they are likely to arise

propaganda of hate, intolerance
and anarchy. Mob rule is its child
as truly as lies are its livelihood.
No, we have not seen any con-
domination of the "patriotic"
mobs in our patriotic (0 press.
No indeed. Having melted the
mob to violence and anarchy, it
now excuses and justifies open
ly in it's press this subversion of
every human and civil law through
the specious sophistry of the
weakness of the present law to
punish violators of the espionage
act. They justify the overthrow
of law on the pretext that the
law is not sufficient! The law
is to be ignored as the mob
chooses. 1t would supplant the
orderly and impartial execution of
the law by it's legally empowered
officers with mob rule, executed
in moments of burning passions
and heated imaginations. Such
a course amounts to turning hell
loose and will lead quickly, to civil
war.
If the mob, (incited to riot by
the capitalist press) breaks the
law then the capitalist press de-
mands that the laws be made
stronger. Is not this tantamount
to making the capitalist press an
equal participant in the crime?
At least it is direct admission
that the capitalists of America
through their bridle-wise press are
behind the present move in the
national congress to make impos-
sible, through the operation of q
pernicious law, any expression of
opinion at variance with the well
fare of capitalistic interests.
Thus does our masters press pre-
pare the public mind for the re-
ception of ideas and laws which
will rob the people of the last
vestige Of liberty of speech and
press. Sorrowful indeed will be
the day for human liberty when
this damnable purpose is accom-
plished, and free speech and ex-
preston of opinion lies raped at
the feet of the Hun-press. Safer
in the arms of the maniac and
war crazed Huns are the maidens
of Belgiums, than are American

liberties in the hands CT the

Why point to autocratic Ger
many as an example of al that
is reprehensible, when we have a
press in America powerful, rich
and far-reaching in its influence
over the minds and passions of
men which openly advocates for
America the very things we are

rope that the world may be made

CAPITALIST HUN PRESS
REVEALS IT'S HAND
HEART AND SOUL

iOo iSi III Ne'N'OAo VI viz betii y
press must have become alarmed
at the apparent spread of mob
violence throughout the nation in
regard to alleged disloyal speeches
and acts said to have been COM
mitted by certain individuals.
Each day brings to light added
accounts of flag kissing bees; tar
and feather outrages and a few
outright killings, of which per-
haps the most outrageous of all
was that which was ACCOMPLISH
ed in Collinsville, ILL.,, a few days
ago, when a man. whom investi-
cations seem to have proved in
nocent. was alleged to have VIC
lated the mob's idea of patriotism
and was made a victim of hate
and snatched from his knees
when in prayer to his God and
sent to eternity by means of the
knotted moose.
The capitalist press is again
revealed in its hideous and lying
reality before all, who, having
eyes, care to see, as the greatest
violators of law in this land. We
have watched daily for an editor
ial in condemnation of these un-
lawful acts in the columns of
the fount of wisdom which is the
source of all knowledge and
truth!
In vain! Not one single con-
demnation of rule by the mob
have we seen in the columns of
these monsters of methodical mis-
information. What have they
done with their Wanted desire for
claw and order?" Put them away
for the "period of the WARP" Or
will they Withhold it waiting IN
til chance offers to vomit their
venomous lie upon the heads of
some striking workingmcn?
Mob action is the lowest form
of organized effort, and is al
ways misunderstanding and coward
ly in purpose and action. From
a moral standpoint it is lower
than anarchy, which is individual
lstic and requires moral and phv-
sical courage in the prosecution
of its aims. Mob rule is hate.
intolerance and cowardice in
equal mixtures. The mob is form
ed through individual fear, is
cowardly at heart and ignorant
as the capitalist press can keep
it. and it matters not if the mob
rides on its despisable mission in
the luxury of its own automo-
biles or skulks afoot through the
bvlanes, it is yet violator of
all moral and civil laws and should
be dealt with accordingly.
Mob rule is subversive of ev-
cry idea of American liberty, for
bearance and equality. In re-
gard to the events quoted above
it is HUN-ISM transplanted to
American soil for Hunish pur-
poses. Behind every act of these
mobs which have outrageously
violated the laws of the nation
stands the gouhlish capitalist
press preaching its insiduous

TEXAS ATROCITY
Three Organizers of the Non
Partisan League Are MObbed
and Brutal!y Tortured

has been committed. County Of
ficials, merchants, banker and
their servile hangers-on and clerks
have brutally assaulted three
League speakers and organizers.
In the town of Mineola, Texas,
Thursday, April 4, the deputy
sheriff arrested A. A. Cother, an
organizer for the League The
charge was vagrancy, although
Mr.. Cotfer had driven into town
in his own motor car. A few
minutes later, H. F. Hoover, a
League worker, also was arrest
ed on the same charge. Then
H.. L. Higdon, another organizer,
was thrown into the same cell.
He was taken from his home in
Mineola and also charged with
vagrancy.
When M. M. Offut, a prominent
Texas stock farmer, now state
office manager of the Non-Par-
tisan League, went to telephone
headquarters at Waco of what
was going on, he was seized by
about a dozen ruffians. He is a
gray bearded man who for IS
years has been a member of the
Methodist church and is a lay
preacher at Tyler, Tex. He was
dragged into secluded room.
There two men, one of whom he
recognized, hacked off his silvery
hair and whiskers.
He was then kicked and drag
ged down the stairs and after
further indignities, permitted to
leave on the train.
His three associates, meanwhile
were confined in the local jail.
Shortly before midnight, a mob,
composed in large part of those
who consider themselves the lead
ing citizens of Mineola, took them
out of their cell and drove into
the country, apparently with the
connivance of the county author
tiles.
In the words of two of the or
ganizers, this then happened:
"They then made US lay on the
ground on our stomachs and strip
ped the clothing from our backs
and beat us with a blacksnake
whip. | did not count the strokes.
but it must have been 25 or 80
each one. They did not cease
beating US until some time after
we began calling for assistance.
Then they poured salt and water
on the stripes"
What is to be done about this
violation of the rights of Amer
lean citizens?
That is what the National Non
Partisan League is going to find
out. The matter of this lynch
ing will be taken to the COVER
nor of Texas and will also be
taken direct to Washington. If
the men who were abused recover
enough to stand the strain of the
journey, they will go there in
person to appear before the at
torney general and perhaps the
president of the United States.
The full facts also have been laid
before the head Of the United
States department of justice for
Texas.
Despite the fact that the news
paper accounts distorted the real
story of this outrage, the case
has aroused widespread interest
Ill over eastern Texas. The pre-
iiction is made on all sides that
it will prove one of the important
factors in rescuing the Lone Star
state from the grasp of the po-
'itical spoilsmen, absentee land
lords and profiteering business.

WAR WORK Of WOM[N'S
CLUBS OUTSTANDING

Hundreds of West Virginia farm
women i'll organized farm women's
clubs throughout the state are quietly
but none the less effectively engaged
in various lines of war work.
Their latest accomplishment. as an
nounced by the Agricultural Extension
Department. Mergantown. with whom
they are cooperating. is the eontribu-
ton of $1,000 for the endowing Of hos
pital beds in France, these beds to be
for tho use of wouaded soldiers This
sum Of money was raised by eontribu-
tons of $40 each from Il number of
clubs throughout the state, the clubs
securing the MONEY in different ways
but largely from the sale Of canned
and dried fruits and vegetables put up
by the members As 4 conservation
measure from sources ordinarily
wasted As an example of the unique
ways in which the money was seeur-
ed is that of a club in Wood county
which at an afternoon meeting made
60 gallons Of apple butter the pro
ceeds from the sale of which We're to
go for the endowment of hospital beds.
During the summer one of the prin-
cipal phases of activities of the club
members was that of canning and dry
ing the seasons work along this line
totaling upwards of 10000 quarts of
fruits and vegetables canned for sale
as a club activity. being also largely
from materials which were formerly
permitted TO go to waste.
In addition to the conservation of
all kinds of foods the farm womens
clubs of the state have taken the lead
in the use Of substitutes thus releas-
ing in total very considerable amount
of food. In thirty-one counties of the
state trained workers were supplied
whose duty it was to work with farm
women and particularly farm women $
clubs demonstrating the most approx
ed scientific methods for canning. dry
ing, brining, and preserving all kinds
of foods. From these workers comes
the report showing in IS counties with
the returns not yet all in that one and

sfes have been put away in good
shape for winters use.
