Judge Points
To Citizens Duty

Judge Albert Johnson. in chargs
of the Clay county grand jury IN
Moorhead this morning, called par
ticular attention to the state law
against sedition. He said the law
might very properly have been
made palmer and more drastic and
the penalty more severe, but It was
passed shortly after the United
States declared war against Ger
many and before the necessity was
realized by the legislature.
IN every family there are some
black sheep" said Judge Johnson
land in every nation there are some
traitors. The traitors are of the
same class as Judas Iscariot. This
law is intended to cover all cases OF
sedition and it is Of the highest i'm
portance that It be rigidly and dras-
ticaIly enforced In every case.
I'm order to indict and convict for
sedition it Is not necessary that the
person charged has said in SO many
words, You shall not enlist. II the
words of the person show that his
teaching is to prevent enlistment II
is your duty, If you have proof OF 1t,
to return an indictment against
him "

JUNKIN PROUD
OF PAMPHLET
Admits He Wrote Expose
Of Lindbergh Which
Caused His Arrest

Minneapolis, May 13.--(speciaL--
Tom Parker Junkin. whose arrest
on technical charge of violating
the corrupt practices act, was
brought about Saturday by the Nom
partisan league, issued a statement
explaining his position.
Junkin is the author of pamphlet
which exposes Charles A. Lind
berghs attitude on the war. Lind
bergh's book is quoted to show that
the Townley candidate for governor
took a disloyal stand.
The Nonpartisan league, claiming
that the book was of a political ma
ture. charged that it should not have
been circulated without the custom
airy information as to the author and
the persons circulating it.
Written For LoyaIists' Benefit.
Junkin says that he is the author
and that the only reason the infor-
nation was not put on the pamphlet
was because he did not think it was
to be construed as political. He says
that it was written for the benefit Of
all loyal people in Minneapolis
II am proud of the fact that
wrote. had printed and am circulat-
ing the booklet. This Is My War l"
he said
However. I am not surprised that
Mr.. IOWnley and Mr.. LlndDeTRh De-
sire to suppress the circulation Of
the pamphlet and the court action
regard as an effort to discredit me
and my work. 1t is in line with the
numerous libelous attacks that have
been made on me by the TOWnley
kept press since 1 came to Mime
sofa after had opposed the Town
ley propaganda in North Dakota, and
exposed it for what 1t really is-the
most radical Socialism.
This pamphlet, This Is My War;
breathes the spirit Of loyalty and a
hatred Of anything having the at
mosphere Of disloyalty. For this rea-
son it will continue to be circulated
throughout Minnesota as long as
there is any demand for it-but OF
course. l will see that the law is fully
complied with to the very minutest
detail in its broadcast application.
Il challenge any loyal citizen to
read Charles A. Lindbergh's book
Why Your Country Is at War and
not have his deepest feeling or re-
sentiment stirred. as was mine when
read it. You will recall that THAT
book was the subject Of most Of the
questions fired at Mr. Townley in his
examination before the United States
senate military affairs committee in
Washington a few days ago. o
'In his book Mr.. Lindbergh openly
opposes Liberty Loan bonds, attacks
the administration Of the Red Cross,
declares CONSUMPTION wrong, and
says the people have been driven like
cattle by Big Biz to support these
and other patriotic movements"

Austria GUILTY Of Horrible
Outrdges Against Prisoners

The dispatch says Italian prison
ers have been stripped and left with
out food or care If wounded. Most
Of them die Of hunger and Of plague.
tuberculosis is raging and thous-
ands Of consumptives fill the concen-
tration camps. When their condi-
ton becomes desperate the prison
ers are returned to Italy in exchange
for Austrian prisoners whose condi-
ton in italian camps has improved.
In the last 800 prisoners sent back to
Italy from Austria all were suffering
from tuberculosis in a very advanc-
ed stage, the dispatch declares.

GREAT INTEREST
IN CONGRESS TO
Be HELD HERE

Returning from a visit to several
| of the large associations, including
Duluth, Des Moines, Minneapolis
and st. Paul, where he made adj
dresses, A. F. Colwell of Fargo, pres
ident of the Northwest Congress OF
Life Underwriters, declared this af-
ternoon that federal officials as well
as civic organizations have given
their support to the convention.
Some three or four members of
| the North Dakota association felt
that it would be unpatriotic and not
in accordance with the wishes OF the
government to hold the convention
in Fargo June 81 and 2S, because Of
this time Of Stress" said Mr.. Col
well. TSecretary Of War Baker and
President Wilson have given their
support to this convention, and the
executive committee OF the congress
has gone further into their side Of
the situation and it now has received
from the treasury department Of the
United States the approval OF that
department in the following words:
Il know of no reason why your. pro-
posed congress should not be held.
In fact it seems to me that such
meetings may make further contri-
button toward. the winning Of the
war;
According to Mr. Colwell, the Du.
luth Commercial club will send a
delegation to Fargo and Is already
working hard to get the convention
for that city in 1919. The Duluth
UnderWriters' association has guar
anteed that 80 per cent of it's
entire membership will be in attend
ance at the. Fargo convention. Des
Moines, st. Paul and Minneapolis, as
well as several other associations,
have also expressed themselves SIM
ilarly in regard to attendance.
I'VE have received strong letters
from such institutions as the Mer-
chants association of New York in
which it is stated that less. than one
third of one per cent Of the normal
aggregate Of all conventions has or
will be postponed as a, result Of the
war;" said Mr.. Colwell. THE asso-
citation has also copies Of CORES
pondence with President Wilson in
which he has urged the holding of
all conventions Of trades, industries
and professions, stating that they
must be encouraged rather than dis
couraged, because q. failure to hold
them as usual is likely to create a
false impression, to stimulate a lack
of business confidence and to dis
courage mutual cooperation which
is so necessary under existing cir
cumstances.'
The North Dakota, association OF
Life underwriters will hold large
meeting at Minot, Saturday, May 49,,
at which the, vice president of the
national association, NJ. J. Dillon Of
st. Paul, will be present and address
the members. Delegations are ex-
Dected from six states

Washington, May 1S.-Italian pris-

horrible outrages, a dispatch to the
Italian embassy from Rome today
says.
Never in the history Of the civ

seems to be a systematic effort on
the part Of Austria to destroy the
manhood Of Italy. Austria is en-
