NEW TRIAL FOR SOCIALISTS
DENIED

The trial of Victor L. Berger, Mil
waukee Socialist, editor of The Mil
waukee Leader and Congressman
elect, Adolph Germer, Irwin st. John
Tucker, ]. Louis Engdahl and F.
Kruse was concluded last week. The
request for a new trial was denied.
The indicted socialists have each
been sentenced to a prison term of 20
years by Federal Judge X. NJ Lands.
The socialist party for many day
has been winning votes, not on its
principles of equality, so much
preached earlier, but purely by an
anti-war appeal. Adherents of the
convicted parties will use every ruse
to free those who have been found
guilty under the espionage act, which
Berger declares to be ''in direct viola
ton of the constitution" During the
war many socialists toured the country
urging the release of Haywood, l. w.
W., and raising money for that pur-
pose. Audiences were most generally
composed of foreigners and continued
appeal was made to the "BolsheviSts of
America" especially when Russians
were near. Hundreds of dollars were
in this way obtained in pledges for
cause so unworthy from the working
man whom the red-fiagger proposes to
defend.
Berger created a sensation in Wis
consin in his recent run for United
States Senator on the socialist ticket,
in support of the st. Louis program,
when he polled over three times the
normal vote of the party. The appeal
was the pitiful wall, Eve want peace.
If socialists in America expect to &C
complish anything they must form an
American party. Americans will not
support an institution largely domin-
ated by foreigners.

That aliens who objected to serving

That aliens who objected to serving
the United States government in the
war when they were called to the
colors through the draft, shall not be
given the opportunity ever to obtain
citizenship papers in this country, is
a suggestion that has come to Wau-
sau, In other parts of the country, II
is said. many men have been refused
citizenship because they claimed ex-
emption from the service on account
of being aliens.
1t is all very well for these unthink-
ing individuals to want citizenship
now that the war is over. They are
eager to gain, perhaps in pecuniary
way, what advantages woeld come
from having their papers. 1t would
be gross injustice, however, to give
these men the very privileges, which
they refused to fight for and which
American men went forth to defend
and protect. 1t is most certainly to
be hoped that wherever Stacker aliens
appeal for citizenship they will be
denied. They are not worthy of the
United States.
Marathon county has not many il
this class. 1t has several who die
object, however, and these should bt
kept in mind, not just for the present
but for all time they should be ex
cluded from American citizenship
Files of those who objected to service
in the United States army, of foreign
ers who obtained exemption on tn
plea that they were aliens, shoul'
always be within reach. We are hav
ing enough problems at the polls to
day without permitting complication
to enter through the enfranchisemen
of men who can only vote with
foreign mind and wholly un-Americal
disposition.

TWO HOURS RIDE APART IN
FRANCE!

Jennings and Mack Alexander, sons
Of Taylor Alexander, 625 McIndoe
street, have learned to their astonish-
ment and pleasure that they are but
two hours ride by train apart in
France. Though both have been at
their present stations some months,
neither has known where the other
was until recently. The Red Cross
aided the brothers in locating each
other.
1t is a great satisfaction to Mr.
Alexander and the sister of the young
men, Miss Florence, to know that the
boys may be able to see each other.
In recent letter received from Jen-
nings, he expressed his intention to
obtain leave to visit his brother.

"It's simply a contention of if and
and with half of the men around
here" said a silent bystander the
other day listening to a group discuss
the virtues of the League of Nations.
"The League may be of questionable
worth if you like war and want it.
If you wish to have it again in the
future always take a part in these
condemnations. In a sane manner,
however, realize that the world is the
judge and it's fairminded men, who
will constitute the jury, will perpetrate
no wrongs against any people, faction
or nation"

The justification OF. President Will
sons recent appeals for the election

The attempt on Premier Gle
menceau's life was made by none
other than an anarchist. Coffin, one
of whose shots penetrated the premi-
er's lung, had previously attended a
meeting of anarchists in which Death
to Clemenceau" was shouted. He was
arrested, along with others, but later
released. Coffin was apparently a
man without a principle and without
ideals; simply one of the many who
are carried to a pitch of frenzy, eX-
element, and craziness by agitators.

make basket for the guarding of both
teams was close. Finally, however,
Marshfield obtained a basket. Action
was started with that-Ruehlman
made basket for Wausau. The team
work Of both aggregations was ex-
cellent. In basket shooting the Wau-
sau stars, Ruehlman and Werle, were
most conspicuous, making several
pretty baskets from the center of the

feated by fair sized margin it is
to be credited with having an excellent

tor and Treasurer in Aiken county"
Under this law the question came
up before the Democratic Executive
Committee at the Court House last
summer. before the election, as to
whether or not the Offices Of Audi
, tor and Treasurer were raised to
four-year terms, which would enable
-. a. Smith and II. II. Alexander to
hold over until 1921, from the time
they were commissioned in 1917.
after the above law went into effect
The committee wanted to know that
ST as to determine whether or not
race for these two Offices should be
had. Consequently, the Attorney
General was asked for ruling, and
he decided that Alexander and
Smith should hold for four years
and until 1921. The committee
| adopted the decision Of the Attorney
General, and had no race last sum-
MGR for these Offices. and there was
no appeal from the decision of the
committee. Now Senator Shclor
takes the position that the terms Of
these Offices expire this year. The
law is that the "Auditor and
Treasurer are appointed by the
Governor, with the advice and con-
sent Of the Senate Senator Shelor
is taking advantage Of this for the
purpose Of having the Auditors and
Treasurer Offices filled by somebody
TO be recommended by him---and
who can tell who that will be?
Some particular friend Of his? And
without the people voting on it? Is
that right? Governor Cooper thinks
the matter should be let alone. To
have some one appointed would take
the matter out Of the hands Of the
people for six years.
We have introduced n bill per-
mitting the Auditor and Treasurer
to hold Office until 1921, and to
have an election in 1920 for these
Offices. ]. X. Orr,

The fire started in the motor room
Of the Southern Fertilizer and Chem
ical company, located just west of
the 8eaboard terminals.
BStore the force OF 1926 men could
be Mobtlized to fight the fire. the
STRUCTURE was filled with flames and
great volumes Of smoke poured
through the windows. A general
fretsalarm called into action the
lire Sfghters maintained by the Sea-
board Air Line, all the tugs and
other craft in the harbor went to
! theiE aid, and firemen from the Sa-
vannah fire department were quickly
puts0ver the river.
Ihe Seaboard terminals, though
on the north side Of the Savannah
riyer, are within a thousand feet of
the CITY hall and that section of the
business district known at the Bay.
As soon as the alarm was sounded
masters Of tugs in the harbor went
to the rescue Of vessels moored in
the slips Of the terminals, taking on
or dtscharging cargoes. Two Brit
ish, steamships carrying large quanti-
ties NJ ammunition we're taken to
safety. AS soon as all threatened

nounced that the fire was under con-

thatithe loss will reach into millions
there has been no estimate of the

5000 BALES Cotton lost.
1t has been ascertained that there
were about 5000 bales Of cotton de-
stroyed and 1875 long tons of nj
trate Of soda. The nitrate belonged
to the Government, and was being
feld for delivery to farmers at actual
cost price, which was $50 Il ton.
Negotiable receipts had been issu-

considerable amount Of the cotton,
and it is assumed that the company
