WHAT - AN ANAacH,sTa


Mount Clemens, Mich. May a.
Two OF the most important issues In
the Henry Ford Chicago Tribune ST.
100000 libel suit were made plain to-
day during the process OF selecting a
jury, which Is still incomplete.
What is an anarchistT" is the basis
of the trial, judging from the questions
put to men in the jury box by counsel
for both sides. The following ques-
tions serve to illustrate this ploint;
BY Attorney Alfred ]. Murphy,of Ford
counsel. Because n man would go TO
the extent of saying that the nations
OF the world should he so educated that
forces, the power of mere violence.
should be removed, and that nations
should settle their differences by rea-
son. rather than by brute force. IL
man held those views would you call
such a man an anarchist?"
BY Attorney Elliott G. Stevenson of
counsel for The Trihune-"If the CHI
cago Tribune had in its mind that any
man who spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars in propaganda to influence
congress and the senate OF the United
States and the president OF the United
States and the people OF the United
States, to render the government in
efficient by means OF agents. for lack
of force, which Is the army and navy.
so far as the nation is concerned. to
discharge it's duty to it's citizens. and
they called that anarchy, would you
be able to give them a fair trial in this
case upon the question as to whether
they were right in doing that or not?'
At another stage in the proceedings.
during sharp interchange between
counsel, Mr.. Stevenson said:
I'VE are here for the purpose OF
proving Mr.. Ford is an anarchist in the
sense in which the editorial tThe Tri-
,bune editorial of June %. 1916, on
which the libel suit is based) was
written, in the sense in which the
readers Of the paper would understand
it was used, from what was said in the
paper and waat preceded it, this being
the eulrfinat;oa Of . lc.!g discussion
on the subject
The second important issue brought
out in the questioning was Mr.. Ford's
attitude on national military prepar-
edness. Mr.. Murphy and his associate.
Alfred Lucking, insisted that this had
nothing to do with the case. that all
the preparations OF the Tribune to
show conditions in Mexico and else
where at the time the editorial was
written We're rubbish"
Mr. Stevenson said tho defendants
had witnesses coming from thousands
of miles to bf6we this contention and
that they had "a right to expect that It
would allp become O. matter for con-
sideration by the jury.
The day was marked by much bick-
ering between the leading counsel
Judge James G. Tucker, presiding
referred to the scene once as Vau-
devilIe show" and said he would DC
forced to stop the attorneys.
