where, in this hour Of stress and trial
and travail, ! cannot injure my coun-
try, or interfere with the conduct of
this war. But in the discussion of
that point we must consider also this
fact that the big thing, that the vital
thing, the all-important thing at this
moment is that we should have a ma
ton united. And at this time, taking
all Of the things that exist into con-
sideration-the fact that passions run
high, that hysteria has seized the
world, that all of US have more or
less abnormal mental processes
brought about by this great world
tragedy,-you must consider well
whether my conviction is going to
have tendency to unite the people
Of this country or TO disunite them.
And in dealing with them, you can
not avoid dealing with the prejudices
that have crept into this trial. At
this point I want to mention one fact,
a fact that has been brought to my
mind, to my hearing, and that is this:
That from some source Of informa-
ton that / do not know, you have
been informed that / was connected
with q certain publication whose
name I never heard, and whose ex-
istence I was not aware Of, that was
published in your home state. This
publication was violently anti
religious, and violently rabid, and 1t
was said
The court: I never heard Of that
before.
Mrs. O'Hare: Very we'll, I will
pass on. We must still consider the
question of the prejudices that still
exist, and that do exist, and we must
take into consideration the effect that
the verdict is going to have on the
people. And, your honor, want to
call this thing to your mind, that the
man or the nation whose cause is
just is thrice armed; and If the cause
Of this nation is just in this great
war; then is it necessary in order to
impress the people Of the righteous
ness and justice OF the cause, to con-
vict and sentence a woman on the
charge of having an intent but never
committing a crime? This you must
consider. And You must consider al
so the danger Of arousing hatreds
and prejudice and suspicion.

Full Text Of
Noted Addresses

In the federal court at
Bismarck, upon the occasion
of the sentencing to the
federal penitentiary of Mrs,
Kate Richards O'Hare, for
espionage, Judge Charles
Wade, of Des Moines, Ia,
presented a most striking
doctrine of true American
ism that carries a most con-
vincing appeal.
1t was in answer to Mrs.
O'Hare's address - a pre-
sentation of her view of the
prosecution that was char
acterized by the presiding
jurist as 'most remark
able"-that Judge Wade
made the address that is
destined to become famous
state paper in North Da-
kota.
The Forum today presents
to its readers, the complete
texts Of the two addresses.

Man Kissed When
He Says He's American.

'The vote was taken after hours
Of speech making. Thomas William
of California was Kissed when he
said he was an American, charged
the delegates with being pro-Ger-
man, and declared they did not repre-
sent the true sentiments Of American
Socialists.
''drs. Kate Richards c'Hare. of
st. Louis, defied the government and
the civil authorities. She declared
that Socialists would not be
molested in st. Louis for what they
said because the city was against war
and the authorities were afraid to
modest them.
Fine stuff for the boys and girls OF
the United States to be reading at
this hour! But do not take what
is said i'm the papers as always
signifying judicial fairness. turn
to the resolutions reported by the
defendant in that convention. / find
therein:
q. The Socialist party Of the
United States is unalterably opposed
to the system of exploitation and
class rule which is upheld and
strengthened by military power and
sham national patriotism. We, there
fore. call upon the workers of all
countries to refuse support to their
governments in their wars. The wars
of the contending national groups Of
capitalists are not the concern of the
workers. The only struggle which
would justify the workers in taking
up arms is the great struggle of the
working class OF the world to free
itself from economic exploitation and
political oppression. AS against the
false doctrine of national patriotism
we uphold the ideal of international
working -class solidarity In support
of capitalism we will not willingly
give a single life or a single dollar.
In support of the struggle of the
workers for freedom we pledge our
alT'.
This was after war had been de-
clared, when the nation was trying 70
rally the men from the homes, and
from the farms, for the support of
the government
But that is not all. I find further:
THE forces of capitalism which
have led to the war in Europe are
even more hideOusly transparent in
the war recently provoked by the rule

government enjoined upon the peo-
pie Of this country the duty Of re-

now that / am asking for, and that

Done Nothing But
Stir Up the People.

For twenty years l have done moth
ing but stir up the people. AS high
school girl, in the first flush Of youth,
did my best to stir up the people
against the corruption and debase-
ment and debauchery and damnation
that came with the liquor traffic of
the United States. AS a young wo-
man l did all in my power to stir
up the people to revolt against the
damnation of the vice interests in
this country, the interests that de-
based six hundred thousand women
and used them to further political in
terests of existing political powers.
did all in my power to stir up the
people, the working class of the Unit
ed States, to demand more of the
wealth OF this country. did my best
to stir them up to demand shorter
hours and better pay and better con-
ditions; and the one great motive and
object of my life has been the ambi-
ton to stir up the people Of the
United States to demand life, and life
more abundant. And. your honor, If
this is the crime for which / was
tried in this court, then, your honor,
am guilty Of that crime. But, hav-
ing made this statement and realiz-
ing now that the time has come when
you are about to pass judgment on
me, il seems to me at this time 1t is
meet that we should consider the
things that are involved.
There is no doubt that in this hour
Of travail, and sorrow and bloodshed
and misery that marks the labor that
is ushering in a new order, there is
but one thing that should occupy our
minds, and that is this: What, at
this time, at this hour Of our coun-
try's peril and travail, will bring the
greatest good to the greatest number
of people? And this, believe, your
honor, Is the question that you are
to decide. You are TO decide whether
at this hour il will be better for the
people OF the United States that I
shall be conVicted-not OF q crime
charged in the indictment-but con-
victed of having an intent in my
heart that never found expression,
and on conviction of having an intent
to which I never gave action, shall
be sentenced to prison. Will this be
matter OF the greatest good to the
greatest number? III your honor be-
Heves. as the district attorney re-
peated so frequently and so force
fully, that / am a dangerous woman,
strong and powerful, with the ability
to sway mems minds, and lead them
to do my bidding, II you believe that
that is true, and you believe the fact
that / had a wrongful intent in my
heart to which ! never gave life or
action, and that because OF that in
tent that never matured into crime,
It is better that ] should SO to prison,

! ciated 1T, approved 1t, and applauded
1t. az they stated on the stand. And
among the adherents of the new or
der that attended was the postmis-
tress, and she did the things that the
others did. And then the real thing
in this case came out, and that was
the contest over the postoffice. There
was q certain hungry Office seeker in
Bowman. He was the principal wit
ness for the prosecution. He made
the statement on the stand that he
was a farmer, but he has never titled
the soil. He has always been a poll
tiCal hanger-on, a camp-follower Of
the old political order. Separated
from any political job, he became
lean and hungry, and looked with a
hungry eye on the postoffice. The
deposed boss Of the old order was
perfectly willing that the hungry Of
fee seeker might have the postoffice
If only the present incumbent could
be eliminated; and when the post
mistress attended the lecture, and
the next day invited me to her home
as her guest, there grew up In the
minds of the deposed boss and the
hungry office seeker the hope that /
might be made the lever whereby
the pOstmistress could be separated
from her job. and the hungry Office
seeker find an opportunity to live
without labor. So telegraphic COM
munications were established with
Senator McCumber There was no
charge that ] should be arrested for
sedition or treason, but the demand
was made by the deposed political
boss Of Bowman county that the
postmistTess should be removed for
having entertained me. The deposed
political boss appeared before the
district attorney and made the sim
pie demand that the postmistress he
removed, and he was told that this
was impossible; that the postmistress
had committed no crime; IL anyone
was the criminal it must be !. And
so, on the testimony Of the hungry
office seeker, and few OF the ad-
herents Of the old order, this indict-
ment was returned, indictment
that does not charge me with a
crime; the indictment that in no
place states that / ever committed q
crime; the indictment that merely
says that had an intent to commit
a crime. And, your honor 1t seems
TO me one Of those strange, grotesque
things that can only be the outgrowth
of this hysteria that Is sweeping over
the world today, that a Judge on the
bench, and a jury in the box, and a
attorney, should attempt
TO usurp the prerogatives of God
and look down into the
heart Of a human being and decide
what motives slumber there.

Declares Charge
Of Intent Only.

There is no charge that If my in
tent or my motive was criminal, that
that intent or motive ever fiowered,
or ever was put into action,-only the
charge that in my heart there was an
intent, and on that strange charge Of
an intent so securely buried in
human heart that no result and no
effect came from 1t, ] went to trial.
am not going to spend any OF
your valuable time rehearsing the
trial, except to say that to my mind
it is absolutely impossible that under
any legal rule or thought a human
being can be tried for a thing that
he never did, and that there is no
charge that he ever did but only
that he might have an intention of
doing. But, your honor, all through
the trial, all through the questions
Of the district attorney, all through
his appeal to the jury, as the ever
recurring motive in this little drama
Of life. there ran the charge Of a
crime, a crime of which I was ac-
Cused. And this crime is not new
one II is as old as the human race.
It is not peculiar to me. 1t is uni
versal as life itself This crime that
was charged by inference in the trial
was the same crime, was the same
charge that was brought against the
first slave rebellion, against the first
serf revolt 1t was the charge that
was brought against Moses and
Spartacus, Watt Tyler and Cront-
well, George Washington and Patrick
Henry, William Lloyd Garrison and
Wendell Phillips; and it was the
same crime that was charged against
Jesus Of Nazareth when he stood at
the Judgment bar Of Pontius PLATE.
The crime is this: she stirred up
the people" And, your honor, If by
inference I can be charged with that
crime, and tried for 1t. then, your
honor, at this point l plead guilty to
that crime, IL 1t is a crime.

onstrating, that the dictates Of
humanity and the fate of small ma
tions and Of democratic institutions
were matters that did not concern
it. But when our enormous war
traffic was seriously threatened, our
government calls upon us to rally to
the defense of democracy and civil
ization.'
"Our entrance into the European
war was instigated by the predatory
capitalists in the United States who
boast of the enormous profit Of seven
billion dollars from the expectation
Of American foodstuffs and other
necessaries. They are also deeply
interested in the continuance Of the
war and the success Of the allied
arms through their huge loans to
the governments Of the allied powers
and through their commercial ties.
1t is the same interests which strive
for imperialistic domination OF the
western hemisphere"
Splendid support for the govern
ment! Splendid seed to plant in the
minds and hearts of the people in
their distress-that this nation is
simply waging a war at the behest
of a few capitalists!
