THOMAS TRIAL
WAS POSTPONED
ABSENT WITNESS CARRIES CASE
OF IRA THOMAS OVER. THE
VENIRE.

According to announcement in
these columns last week, Judge Lamb
convened the circuit court on Satur-
day morning of last week, after a
two days recess, for the purpose OF
trying Ira Thomas, one Of the three
brothers, charged with murder of s.
A. DNbose in beat 4, in December,
last. There was special venire
drawn from which to select the jury
and quite large crowd was present
as is usually the case when a white
man is to be tried on the charge of
murder.
The State announced ready for
trial but the defense stated that one
of their chief witnesses, Mrs. Carpen-
ter was sick and unable to come to
court and that they could not, in JUS
tice to their client, proceed without
this witness. The State insisted that
the county had gone to the expense
of summoning the venire and that all
things considered that they thought
the case ought to be put to trial, and
that if the defense would reduce to
writing what they expected to prove
by the absent witness it would be ad-
mitted. This idea was combatted by
the defense, however, acting under
the instructions Of the Judge, what
was expected to be proven by the alb
sent witness was reduced to writing
and the State said they would admit
it. still the defense contended that it
would be much better to have the
witness in court in person and that
they believed the rights Of the de-
fendant would suffer if the witness
was not brought into court. After
much wranglirg Z by the attorneys, the
Judge decided to grant the plea for 3
continuance. The witness who vas
absent testified at the committing.
trial
| While the three brothers as above
stated were all indicted on the same
charge. still they are not Jointly in
dicted. The State elected to try Ira
Thomas first.
The case will doubtless be one of
the first matters to claim the attention
of the court when it convenes the
fourth Monday in July, next.

offered to the government the product
of his great factories at cost and with
out profit, IS it not fact that his Of
fer was declined becausethe govern
ment could not accept anything from
private individuals, firms or corpora
tions except on a business basis? Was
not Mr.. Ford told that he must take a
profit? .A
1t is useless to rehash all the argu-
ments in favor Of paid government
advertising. They are we'll known
and unanswerable Moreover, they
are recognized as valid in every cOun-
try in the world save our own.
The Importance Of this subject,
however, is not in what has past, ex-
cept in so far as it affects the future
relations between the government
and the press, and in this connection
the attitude Of country publishers as
developed is of first Importance.
When the first suggestion of paid gov
ernment advertising was made it
created quite stir. 1t was even car
ried to the senate by Secretary Nc
Adoo. There was very strong feel
ing that the position sought for the
publishers was fair and that it would
be unjust to ask Of them the use of
their commodity for nothing. AS a
fact Mr.. McAdoo went on record as
being clearly opposed to the govern
ment asking for free advertising
space. At the same time, even as he
spoke, men working under Mr.. McA-
doc in pressing government activities
openly asked for free space in the
name of their district committees, and
so the devil was most successfully
whipped around the adv. stump.

Human nature makes it impossible
that human men should be allowed to
fix their own wages and own hours of

worthless without transportation, the

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

After ALL it is possible that the treaty Of peace will
be accepted rejected by the people of the United States
directly.
1t is growing daily more evident that the Repubi-
cans in the senate may succeed in their disastrous plan
to make the question of ratifying the pact unamended
party issue and by that method prevent adoption of the
pact it stands 1t is than probable that the
vote when it is finally taken will be along strict party
lines with the exception of few Republicans who refuse
to sacrifice the national good for the sake of making po
litical capital, and insecure capital at that
And is equally evident what President Wilson plans
to do He has placed at the disposal of the senate all
available information and imperative why the
treaty should be ratified unamended and at once The
responsibility lies with the senate But anticipating
the possibility that the treaty may be returned to him
amended to desetroy its effective value hinder its
execution he is preparing to further safeguard it and the
ideals which it champions He has, to all intents and
purposes washed his hands of the petty scrap which op
position in the senate insists upon maintaining and
carrying the entire facts regarding the treaty and its
making directly to the people, Should the senate refuse
his request of ratification without amendment it follows
that he will refuse his signature and approval the doc
ment until the people of the country have expressed their
wishes in the matter through the polls in the coming cleo
ton.
Hazarding guess as to whether or not the people
would ratify the treaty without reservation we forsee
rocky road to the White House for the candidate of al
certain aspiring political organization.
