When the liquor question is
dealt with as national problem,
the economic argument, the only
one ever available in its defense. is
met and overcome. No one in this
day and time will undertake to de-
fend It as moral proposition. for
we all know that intoxicating
liquors fill the almshouses with
paupers, tire hospitals with invalids,
the insane asyIums with lunatics,
the prisons with criminals, and hell
with lost souls. II elected to con-

Federal Judge Lands sentenced the
guilty by jury in his court of the
crimes charged against them in the
complaint, to various terms in the
penitentiary with the addition of
heavy fines. w. d. Haywood and
fourteen Of his principal aids receiv-
ed sentences of 20 years hard labor,
(which, by the way, if carried strict
ly into effect, will be almost as Sc
we're as the death penalty to men so
averse to hard work., in the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kan, and for
good measure added a fine of $4,000.
Notwithstanding these men were ac-
| cused Of crime that amounted to
treason, at time when the feelings
OF the people are running high against
all those in any way tinctured with
disloyalty. they were given fair and
impartial trial before jury of their
peers. 1t cannot be charged that
these prisoners were "railroaded''
through the court to conviction, or
denied every opportunity to defend
themselves. No men ever hailed be-
fore a court have ever had a more
unprejudiced hearing. As proof Of
the fair treatment of the prisoners
it can be stated that the trial lasted
for 12S days. The accused had able
counsel and were permitted to sub
NIT volumes of evidence. And they
were convicted alone upon admissions
of guilt in their own testimony. the
jury finding verdict of guilty as
charged after deliberateing hardly
more than an hour. which is conclus-
| i've proof that there was but one de-
cision that it was possible to render.
The arch conspirator of the lot is
W. d. Haywood. who has been dan
gerous menace to good government.
and who is directly responsible for
the murder of many people through
out the country. In any other coun-
| try but this his life would have been
forfeited. By mistaken policy or
leniency in such cases the authorities
in the United States are encouraging
treason and anarchy when such mild
punishment is melted out to men OF the
Haywood stripe.

The primary election takes place
next Tuesday and milder campaign
is not on record in this state. In
county affairs there is little or no in
terest manifested. There are few
contests for the several Offices and
there is an absence of candidates out
feeling the public pulse. There is
even a good deal of placidity in the
consideration given to the candidates
for congressman from this district,
and that apathy is owing to the fact
that the war overshadows everything
else. Political feeling seems to be
wholly eliminated. The loyal citizen
is bent only upon the selection of an
American who can be trusted to re-

AIRPLANE FAIRY TALE
MYSTERY Is CLEARED
High Officer in Signal Corps

SAID SHIPMENT
HAD STARTED

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The mystery
surrounding aircraft statement issued
under the authority Of Secretary Of
War Baker day or so before he left
Washington for France, which has
been the subject of Senatorial attack
for more than a week, is no longer a
mystery to the Senate Military Affairs
Committee or 90 a number Of officials
IN the War Department. To the latter
the facts have been known right along
but they have chosen TO remain silent
so far, even while Mr. Baker was sub
iected in the Senate to the accusation
Of doling out false statements 20 the
American people.
Within a day or so several War De-
partment officials are expected TO be
called before the committee and then
II the body Is anxious for the whole
story, as are several of It's members, IL
is believed Secretary Baker will be
shown TO have merely assumed respon-
sibility for statements supported by
the word Of at least one army officer Of
high position.
According 10 facts laid before MEM
bers OF the Military Affairs Committee
today, the aircraft statement of Febru-
aryary 20. published in the newspapers
on the next day, which was issued
'under the authority Of the Secretary
Of War; was prepared at the instance
OF officers OF the signal corps.
70 asserted a shipment or aircraft TO
France already had been made and that
future shipments would be regular and
frequent. The statement created the
very definite impression that all the
difficulties OF aircraft production had
been overcome and that 10 was now
only a question Of ships TO transport
the planes to the other side. The news
papers Of the country eagerly publish
ed the statement.
This statement was not only peril
ously misleading" as 10 was described
by Senator New, of Indiana, but 10 was
also false. Aircraft shipments had not
begun on February 20, and, save for
one plane that now may De IN France
or stlll on the water, the signal corps
has not yet begun 10 send airplanes
70 France.
These facts were exposed In several
hearings last week, particularly when
the committee investigated the false
photograph captions announcing that
Hundreds Of planes have already gone
across" which were disseminated to
the press by the committee on public
information
It was learned that an oflcer Of the
signal corps dictated the February 20
statement to an attache Of the commit
tee on public information. who, after
writing It, returned it to the onlcer for
correction. Such corrections as he
chose to make were made and he at
iaohed his initials TO Il. Then it wa
placed before the Secretary OF War
who ordered lt TO be issued
