The presidents letter of invita-
ton follows: ."
"In accordance with the sugges-
ton given me by the public group
of the recent industrial conference,
l am calling a new body together to
carry on this vitality important
work, and l trust you will give me
the pleasure of naming you as one
of its members.
No Distinctive Groups.
"Guided by the experience of the
last conference, / have thought it
advisable that in this new body
there should be no recognition of
distinctive groups, but that all of
the new representatives should have
concern, that our industries may be
conducted with such regard for JUS
tice and fair dealing that the work
man will feel himself induced to
put forth his best efforts, that the
employer will have an encouraging
profit, and that the public will not
suffer at the hands of either class.
1t is my hope that this conference
may lay the foundation for the de-
velopment of standards and ma
chinery within our industries by
which these results may be at
tanned.
1T is not expected that you will
deal directly with any condition
which exists today, but that you
may be fortunate enough to find
such ways as will avoid the repeti-
ton OF these deplorable conditions.
"sThe conference will meet at a
place to be hereafter designated in
this city on the first of December
next"

stubborn fight if its use were pro-

Without a limitation on debate
the irreconcilable enemies of the
treaty declare they would oppose
vigorously any hasty action in the
new session and with other pressing
problems on hand and Christmas
recess planned it is reckoned that
action might be delayed we'll into
the new year.
In that connection the leaders are
mindful that some of the senator's
most bitterly opposing the treaty
openly have expressed hope that
the senate will not act until the
people have spoken in next years

can, Idaho, has announced in the
senate on two occasions that unless
his party declared against the treaty
he will part company with it.

Victor Rosewater's Statement to Court

possible, no matter what the pre-
sumption of the law may be, for
one man to have personal respon-
sibility and personal control of
every article or every advertise
ment going into the paper. If the
law says mus. be responsible,
eriminally and personally, l must
accept that Interpretation, but it
is the same as if the presiding
judge were held responsible for
acts Of other judges. That would
not be accepted as a good rule.
1t is not the rule of law, and GER
tainly not common sense.
The court in his decision says
this is an attack upon the inde-
pendence of the judiciary, where
as my counsel in the course of
argument, suggests that this ac-
ton is an attack upon the free
dom of the press. The court has
said the independence of the
judiciary is superior to the free
dom of the press. l do not so
read it in the constitution. I
read the two together, the free
dom of the press in one place
and the independence of the
judiciary in another, and in my
opinion, if l am free to express
it, the two go hand in hand to-
gether. 1t is fully as necessary
to the independence of the ju-
dietary that there be freedom of
the press as it is for the freedom
of the press that we have an in
dependent and fearless judiciary.
The judiciary protects the free
dom of the press and the press
insures the independence of the
judiciary.
If this decision were carried out
to its full limit and strictest
application we would ,have this:
That any corrupt, inefficient, or
lawless public official could pro-
tect himself against exposure by
the press by merely having him
self listed as a witness in a pend
ing case. If the mere fact that
an official who is not doing his
duty, or is dishonest, can call
upon the courts to protect him
against exposure because he hap
pens to be a possible witness in
a case to be tried at some future,
time, then the freedom of the \
press in my judgment is wholly
subordinated to the will of the
court.
Refers to Contempt Cases.
The court has also referred to
the fact that the contempt law of
Nebraska is in large part made
up by cases that have come out
of litigation over publications in
The Omaha Bee. That | take it
is no reflection but a credit to the
paper, it being proof positive that
its editors and reporters have
been alert in exposing corruption
in Office and standing against per-
secution and oppression when it
believed it was right.
In this case, l have no con-
seriousness whatever of any intent
to interfere with the court in any
way, but only to promote justice
by exposing corruption in office
and thus to subserve the public
interest. If it means that for this
am to be held in odum and
branded by the court as guilty of
an offense. | must accept the sit
uation and do accept it. | trust
you will accept these remarks in
the spirit in which they are in
tended.

sum he demanded was difficult to

I'm view of these considerations,
1t was finally agreed that certain
amount in cash be paid and the bal

ment was approved by Mr.. Hanna,
the secretary of the embassy at
Mexico City, who rendered the most
valuable assistance at all times. On
Sunday the sum of $4,000 pesos was
paid in cash and FIVE of my init
mate friends here responded with
their lives for the payment of the
balance, and I myself promised to
complete the payment as demanded.
My friends were forced to sign a
document to that effect, and upon
the delivery of this document and
the cash payment, | was released on
Sunday afternoon, October 26.
The state government, and the
federal government, as we'll. did
nothing at all to effect my release,
in fact they only served to disturb
the work of my friends. They
wanted to send troops Immediately
to pursue the rebels, but these had
explicitly told my wife that if they
were pursued or attacked, they
would Immediately kill me. The
city police arrested all my servants

nothing in the world to do with the
case, and had to release them after
