which the |. w. W. had its origin. This
kind of reasoning we cannot ignore. It has
to be attended to in its place Unrest and
a sense of injustice pervading any part ar
class of the community are grave symp-
toms which the skilled political physician
Will not neglect. If blind prejudice against
the lawful aims of the I. W. W. exists
harmfuiiy anywhere, public effort must be
made to remove it. That members of the
organization have been abused, and wrong
fully deprived of their rights, in some
parts of the West, there is the best of
reason to believe, for the President of the
United States was moved to protest against
the KIND OF mob violence to which some of
them were subjected. There is undoubt-
edly work in all this for the social re-
former and for the statesman But all
these things stand apart from the sole
sharp question put before the jury at Chi
cago And the answer given is unmstak
able. The law against seeking in any wav
to cut the nerve of the governments war
efforts will be sternly upheld, be the Of
Tenders who they may"
THE Springfield Republican" agrees
with this view, writing thus:
"The present economic and social system
was not on trial; the government did not
seek to justify capitalism or discredit
syndicaism and socialism. Whatever eco
nomic wrongs the !. W. w. is symptom of
protest against is subject for search

of The New York Tribune, which de-
clares:

There was but one verdict possible. The
result was a splendid vindcation of the

There is comfort in the knowledge that the
great body of American workingmen and
women have seen with clear vision the
criminal aims of the I. W. w. This organi-
cation drew its inspiration from a spirit of
anarchy foreign to the American spirit and
it found it's dupes chiefly among that body
of migrant labor which is admittedly too

and which was by reason of its hardships

must be said that if the government is at
tackled or wilfully obstructed while en-
gagged in a foreign war it has as much
moral right at least to protect "itsef as

But this paper also draws a moral
from these proceedings, and admonishes
the nation to view the trial as a symp-
tom Of wrongdoing somewhere which
cannot be entirely forgotten. 1t con-
tinues:
in our patriotic exaltation while the
great war is in progress, the fact that
such persons as Haywood and his COM

against them is natural feeling to enter

words of General March "the winning
spirit" that will find responsive echo
in every true American heart" "The
Des Moines Register anxious that "the
final blow may be struck soon and that
it may descend with overwhelming
power when it is launched" points to
some of the reasons for moving swiftly
and crushingly:
"American strength should be sent to

"The way to win victory is through the
obtaining of so vast a superiority in strik-
ing power that German military strength
can be broken by strategic defeat.
"The way to win the is to make it
contest between a heavyweight and a light
weight. Where differences in power are to

"The Philadelphia Inquirer" does not
let the prospect of victory blind it to the
difficulties that lie in the way arguing
thus:
"To create this army and move it there
must be a tremendous amount of work
done. All the more need for coal in pro-
digious quantities. All the more need for
ships and munitions. We will all have to
come down to wearing shoddy next winter,
for the government needs every pound of
wool for clothing for the soldiers"
The New York Tribune writes:

The "Frankfurter Zeitung," looking
long and earnestly at the United States

of Germany, hindered from making eff

is what "The New York Times" has to
say Of this German comment:
