HAYWOoD'S CAREER NEAR END.

At last Big Bill Haywood has up against the real
thing and stands good chance of paying penalty
for his long criminal career He has apparently been i'm

law many times he has with the aid of shrewd lawyers
who for fat fee would defend Judas Iscarot and
all sorts of rickey to clear him. managed to find some
loop hole through which he escaped Now along with a
hundred other w. Ws, he has been found guilty on
charges of sabotage and sedtOn in the United States
courts at Chicago before Judge Lands. He says the
judges instructions fair and the trial mpartaly
conducted At the same time his lawyers have made
motion for trial. and Haywood asserts that if this
is denied an appeal will be taken. This will consid
cradle delay in the administering of justice to the gang
but taking HaywOods statement for it. there but
little chance for getting the verdict set aside Of
he and the other defendants fighting to put off the
day when their punishment must begin as long pos
sble but with the silly almost criminal delays in the
trial of criminal in American courts the end will be
reached sometime, and merited punishment awarded
Judge Lands is generous in handing out punishment try
ing to make it fit the crime and the sentences of these
men, if the supreme court sustans the verdict will be
such that the activities of William Haywood will have
ceased to have any force by the time he is free again. An
example should be made of this kind of national enemies
and surely better opportunity, in which "the
really deserving" will be rewarded will be offered
than that which makes William Haywood of the shin
ing examples.

GOVERNOR WANTS ANOTHER PLANT.

Undoubtedly the inmates of the prison would be bet
ter off if they had steady employment of some kind The
trouble is to find the kind The old stove works of years
ago were discontinued because the products came into
competition with those of free labor Nearly four years
ago money was appropriated for establishing plant at
the prison for handling flax and putting the product in
shape for shipment and sae So long as this was under
the jurisdiction Of the board of control it was making
fair progress and finally was placed basis that prom
ised good returns the investment and employment for
many of the convics BY the process of enlargement it
would not have been long until there would have been
Mork for all Of them. However for reason best
known to himself Governor Withycombe wanted sole
control of the prison and the flax plant He got it. From
that day the flax experiment has gone into steady de-
cline and it's death at the hands of the governor doctor
seems certainty With this showing of executive ability
the governor now suggests that plant be procured for
the manufacture of twne for the purpose of giving en-

the present governor will be in charge of them. With

shape would that something would be done by the
governor toward getting the product Of this crop the

yet the governor says the men in the prison need some
thing to keep them employed The governor is right.
They need in charge who will back up the
prison management in keeping the prisoners at work
with the material now hand and for the handling of

for the growing of still flax. The crop Of 1917, al
though largely failure is still hand in addition to the
80 tons of the 1916 crop and the crop of 1918 is ready
to harvest OF this the state has contracted about 500
acres What does the governor intend doing with it and
the other material now on hand? If he will explain
this he might get members of the legislature to listen
to his proposition to establish wne factory Until he
does there will be nothing doing.

 1914 Best Men.

WITH THE AMERICANS, Sept. 1s.-The Americans captured five prisoners from the crack 14th Storm Battalion without firing shot.
 The prisoners declared that the morale of the German Army is. very low. They said the Germans every where are beginning to realize that the Americans are good fighters.
 They said that the Germans now estimated that the Americans were equal to the Germans as they were in 1914 when they were considered at their best as military unit.
 One officer stated that the impress sion prevailed in Germany that the Americans were a lot of untrained recruits and that they would be made tired of the game of war at the first determined offensive launch ed by the Germans. He said that it was generally believed at first that the setback given the Germans at the battle of the Marne was due to veteran Allied troops massed there for that purpose, instead of American soldiers. The American St. MihieI attack following 90 quick. Iy on a continuous offensive from the Marne, he said, gave the Ger. mans a shock and the surprise of their lives.
