excused all his atrocities in Bel
GUM on the plea of necessitv

American liberty are coming to
light all over the country now,
just as We might have expected
inasmuch as every action is neces-
sarily followed by an equal reac-
ton in the opposite direction.
by using tho czar's repressive
methods against the people the
bureAucrats have provoked some
of our less poised fellow citizens
to resort to the criminal retribu-
tive methods of the cars sub
jects.
THE natural offspring of try
amy is bombs. 1t seems odd that
United States officials should
have needed an epidemic Of in
fernal machines In the mails to
teach them this lesson"
RESOLUTIONS OF PROTEST.
The following is a copy of the reso
utions adopted by the meeting:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens
of Nampa and vicinity. after full
discussion in an open meeting
held in Nampa on May 2, 1919, do
hereby adopt the following reso-
lutions and direct that a copy be
presented to the editorial man.
ager of the COOPERATIVE Pub
fishing company.
I'VE demand the immediate re-
moval of the present editorial
force from the daily Idaho Free
Press and an immediate change
of the editorial policy of the pa
per for the following reasons:
I'VE regard the editorial pub
lished Friday morning under the
caption Of Bombs and Free
Speech as an insult to the courts
Of our country and to other re-
publican institutions, and we re-
gard previous editorials as more
or less un-American.
I'VE demand that the Coop
erative Publishing company pub
lish Americanism as distinguished
from anarchy and we refuse to
recognize or patronize the Idaho
Free Press under its present edi-
torial policy.
I'VE protest against and con-
denim the unwarranted attacks
upon Judge Lands and Prose-
cutting Attorney Fickert under
the guise of having been active in
suppressing free speech, end we
assert that these officials have
done their full duty to their coun-
try in the prosecution of per-
sons guilty Of murder and sedition
and we regard the editorials of
the Idaho Free Press as an eff
fort to condone such offenses; all
OF which is SO intolerable that no
apology will suffice"
REPEATS OFFENDING Editorial

PRINTS the offending editorial on it

ATTACKS CITIZENS
The Free Press today made an attac
lpon n. Jenness, editor of the Idah
leader Herald, G. w. Lamson and 9th
RS and seeks to belittle the meetin
md to attribute it to conspiracy upo
he part of Jenness and others. In dis
ussing its attacks upon him thi
Mr.. Jenness said: 1.-The state

ANY paper which offers apollo
