Miami District Daily News

A movement is on foot to secure Il
pardon for j. f. Rutherford and his
associates, serving a term in the fed
eral prison in Atlanta for spreading
propaganda intended to hinder the
United States in the war. Rutherford
is leader Of what is known as the In.
ternational Bible Students Association.
He is referred to as the spiritual amos.
tle'' but Just why does not appear quite
clear.
Rutherford is a disciple Of the Pastor
russell cult, and the crime for which
he was convicted was of the most rep.
rehensible. The Labor Tribune pub.
hshed at Pittsburgh, Pa, is taking the
lead in the movement to have Ruther-
ford pardoned Members of congress
are being flooded with letters asking
them TO intercede in behalf Of this
man, and his accomplices, and il looks
as though the president may be pre.
vailed upon to give these men their
freedom
Just why such q hulabaloo should
be made over these men when there
are soldiers serving long terms of inn
prisonmcnt for slight infracutns of
military rules. men who offered their
lives for the country, and who are
deserving of more consideration than
