Gently you spoke so much about?

have greeted Senator Borah every
time within the last year when 1t
has been announced that he would
speak. There were more senators
in their seats when he delivered his
4 last great speech on the league of
nations than have greeted any other
one of their membership in two >
congresses.
1t was this great speech, together
with his courageous letter declining
an invitation to the White House
conference, that set the country to
thinking. Up to that time the most
of the communications received by
senators and representatives were
of the sort that came into Wash
ington in the days before the Unit
ed States went into the war
They were peace at-any- price LETT
tiers, but Senator Borah's great speech
woke up the FLOODED Americans
and wrote, where all can read, the next
national campaign slogan of the Re-
publican party, Americanism versus
Internationalism," the slogan on which
it is now so confidently predicted that
Senator Borah himself will lead his
party to victory.
FEW FAVOR LEAGUE.
To give an idea of the awakening, 1t
only needs to be told that during the
week ending March l, Senator Borah
received total of more than 10000 let
ters of which only one per cent favored
the league of nations, and this is sig
nificant in view of the fact that all OF
the paid and inspired propaganda has
a. Il Al e.,
on the platform urging citizens every
where to write their senators and rep
resentatives to favor the league. -.
Senator Lodge received letter from
one of his constituents enclosing a
check for 500, saying he would like to
contribute that amount to saving the
country" telling how deeply impressed
he was with the Borah speech and the
need of good citizens getting busy to
counterfeit the league of nations inter
nationalism just as it was necessary ia
fight the ''he kept me out Of war" and
the too proud to fight" propaganda. A
woman, Sc years old, wrote to Senator
Borah enclosing a check for $50, say
ing that she had not long to live but
she wished to give her mite to preserve
America for her children and grand
children. No organization has yet been
formed to handle these funds. but it Ia
likely that arrangements will be made
whereby those who wish to contribute
smaN amounts to campaign against
the league will be able to do SO.
THE TRAIL BLAZER.
Senator Borah is regarded as the
trail blazer because at the time he
opened fire on the league of nations
nothing was being said against it by
anyone. Some were afraid to speak
and others were too lazy to analyze it
somebody said the other day.
Now Senator Borah Is followed on
this question by all but less than hall
: dozen senators on the Republican
side and by several Democrats.
Three weeks ago the only candidate
for president of whom much was heard
was Senator Warren Harding Of Ohio
To-day the east hears but little Of more
than one candidate but that man IL moi

Can't Identify Man He Beat
Up and Arrested in Raid
on Finnish Hall Last Sep
tember.
Gunmen assembled in numbers in

Gunmen assembled in numbers in
Lynch's court this morning to testi-
fly against Onni Tuomi, well-knoWn
Finnish resident of Butte. Mr..
Tuomi happened to be present at a
meeting of Industrial Workers of
the World at the Finnish hall, 31S
North Wyoming street, one. night
last September.
A bunch of gunmen, special
deputies, headed by Detective Ed
Morrissey, burst suddenly into the
hall. John Berkin, a celebrity
among the foul-mouthed tribe,
grabbed the telephone wires first
thing and tore them away. These
bandits like to sever connection with
the outside world first thing when
they fall in force upon some group
of workers. They lined up the oc-
cupants of the hall man-handled
some of them brutally, searched
them, cursed them, vilified them in
language too vile and odiously OBJ
sene to spring from the lips of any
but the slimmiest dregs of earth S
Sub-stratum OF the degenerate.
Women were present. respectable,
estimable women workers and wives
of working men. 1t made no differ
ence to those human ours that
women were present to hear their
obsenity. Indeed, the worst out
bursts of abuse were sometimes
hurled directly at the women. Mrs.
Jackson, the wife OF tine Janltor at
the hail. was pitilessly nsulted and
abused by Ed Morlissey and John
Berkin. Mrs kahari and other
women present were equally un-
fortunate. Some of the men were
| badly bruised and beaten. None OF
them had offered any reslstence tC
this outrage upon their rights and
liberties by that organized gang OF
thugs, bearing the badge OF author
ity.
Yet some Is or 30 OF these people
were arrested and taken to jail
They had committed no offense
against the law. The only law
breaking incident to the whole pro-
cedure was committed by Ed Nor
] rissey and his gang.
! Of those taken 10 jail, this one
man Onni Tuomi was beaten terri
bly in the city hall by ulcers. He
was kept there, practically incom.
municado. for week or two. and
heaten nnmercifnlly at intervals. He
was finally turned over TO the
cannty authorities and later released
on $4,000 bond.
What offense against society had
he committed? None, absolute none!

Paris, A pril 2S.--The peace
conference is meeting today in
plenary session to vote on the
revised covenant of The league
Of nations.
The language Of the draft
has been entirely changed, al
though several amendments
have been made. The out
standing features of these
amendments are: Executive council
by unanimous vote, may increase it's
own membership when it deems such
a course advisable; any member ma
tion may withdraw by giving two
years notice; Individual sovereignty
is guaranteed.
President Wilson is expected to
make a brief speech concerning a
new article to be inserted protecting
the Monroe doctrine.
There has been some speculation
as to whether the Japanese would at
tempt to reopen discussion of their
amendment for racial equality which
was voted down by the league COM
mission; it is not believed that the
French will bring up their amend
ment for greater military guaran-
tees as they appear to be satisfied
that some sort of an agreement will
be reached between the United States
and Great Britain that will protect
France against any German aggres-
sion pending the operation of the
league of nations

Paris, April 28.-The constitution
of the league of nations adopted dur
ing the plenary session of the con-
ference will be incorporated in the
peace treaty and the league will be-
come a fact as soon as the delegates
sign the pact and their parliaments
ratify it.
The covenant includes Wilson's
nomination of Sir Erie Drummond
and also makes Belgium, Greece,
Spain and Brazil members of the
council No action has been taken
on the French amendments for great
er military guarantees.
The report of the committee on in
ternational labor legislation has feen
adopted.
Despite rumors of agreement with
Great Britain and the United States
to provide further military guaran-
tees, the French this afternoon intro
duced two new amendments designed
to make more drastic the military
provisions.

With every indication that
Butte will go over the top"
Within the time limit set for its
quota for the Victory loan, the
campaign to raise S3 ,OOO,O
started NTH enthusiasm this
morning. Feminine workers
armed with note books and
pencils appeared on the down
town streets early and but few
pedestrians got by without
either stating the amounts of their
subscriptions or giving some good
excuse. In the meanwhile other
workers visited various mercantile
establishments and offices.
At Victory loan headquarters it
was stated this afternoon that since
the workers will not report until
o'clock this evening, no estimate of
the total subscribed today could be
made. 1t was stated, however, that
reports from the various workers
We're to the effect that subscriptions
were being made freely.
Plans for a downtown parade of
members Of the famous Ninety-tirst
division, large group of whom stop
ped over in Butte this morning for
a few hours, was called Off when the
military authorities in charge of the
train decided that the men remain at
the depot. 1t had been planned to
make the parade the feature of the
opening day of the three-day drive.
Workmen this morning completed
the erection of temporary stages at
several points downtown where men,
bers of the Elks, assisted by local
dramatic and musical talent will
stage programs of minstrelsy each
evening of the drive. Elaborate
preparations for their participation
have been made by the Elks and
something entirely original in the
way of programs is expected.
AS hint of the interesting fea-
lures promised by the Elks the COM
mittee has given out the program to
be followed. 1t is as follows:
An overture by the Elks' fife and
drum corps will start the entertain
ment. The first part of the perform
ance will be a minstrel show with NJ.
