might be said in time of peace are
such a hindrance to it's efforts that
their %utterance will not be endured as
long as men fight and that no court
could regard them as protected by
any constitutional right"
The cases of Debs, Schenck and
Frohwerk, all similar and which were
decided by the United States supreme
court, are cited in support of the
courts decision. After considering
the case at length, the court con-
cludes: "There is ample evidence to
justify the verdict which is in effect
a finding that the defendant used the
language substantially as set forth in
the information, and upon the assump-
ton that he did use the language,
then it was for the jury to say fur
Their whether the natural tendency
and reasonably probable effect of the
language was to incite or inflame
resistance to a duly constituted fed
eral or state authority in connection
with the prosecution Of the war. The
defendant appears to have had a fair
and impartial trial.
CONGRESS TO HIT BOMBERS.
Washington, D. C.-Republicans in
congress are preparing to enact dras-
tic legislation to curb the activities Of
plotters against the government of the
United States, including the perpetra-
tors of outrages like the recent New
York bomb plot and a~narchistic activ-
tiles generally.
In this connection the department
of Justice is coming in for some crit
icism owing to the fact that it is un-
derstood that the department about
a month ago called off activities
against the ''reds" in New York, dur
ing which time the bomb plot was
Matched. Members of the recent gov
ernors' conference called attention to
this and stated that owing to the in
activity of the federal government
it would be necessary for them to act
through state mediums in order to
reach the evil which they recognized
as existing. It's is the opinion OF
many republicans who are to take
charge of legislation in the new con-
gress, the executive branch of the gov
eminent now has ample means at its
disposal to apprehend bomb perpetra-
tors; but it is their intention to get
at new forms of the preaching of vi
olence and %subversion of the prin'
ciples of our government"
