Ninety Days for Townley.

When Judge Dean OF Jackson county,
Minnesota sentenced A. c. Townley and Jo-
seph Gilbert to jail for ninety days for CON
spring to teach sedtion he struck mighty
blow for freedom Of speech and publication.
Every sgitator overtaken by the law sets up as
defense his right of free speech. This is
never to be denied, but it carries with it full
responsibility for utterances. Seldom does the
radical jawsmth care to recognize this inevita-
Bile accompaniment of free speech. He prefers
to sail rough shod into existing institutions, and
scatter his verbal corrosives generally over
government and society alike, regardless of any
effect they may have. Most dangerous of these
are those who have learned how to keep just
inside the law, while by insinuation or in
nuendo, half-truths adriotly expressed, they
manage to do greater harm than were they to
come boldly forth and proclaim exactly what
their doctrine actually contains. Townley and
Gilbert belong to this class They have per-
sstenty spread the poison of social unrest and
class warfare in the most insidious way, until
they overstepped their caution, and the law
seized them. The present case will be re-
viewed by the higher court whose decision may
not be anticipated, but the action of Judge Dean
is a vindicaton of the law and of good govern
ment Our free institutions will exist only so long
as citizens in general understand that liberty is
only safely guarded when it excludes license.

Japan's Reason for Rejoicing.

The London Times has from its Tokyo cor
respondent lengthy dispatch, recounting the
enthusiasm with which the people and the gov
eminent received Marquis Saionji on his return
from Paris. 1t was such an ovation as
might be accorded after winning tremendous
victory for his country.
And who will say Saionji did not deserve it?
He had won for Japan at Paris by his
diplomacy a territory rich in undeveloped
wealth beyond any his country ever possessed,
with many millions of dollars worth of pre-
liminary improvements, such as railroads. docks,
public and private buildings and the like Along
with this goes 100000 people, who are to be
governed and exploited after the Japanese fash
ion., All this had been gained without q blow,
merely by diplomatic adrotness in effecting
compromise with an enthusiastic idealist who
while sticking for the principle of self-de-
termination for all nations would willingly sac
rifce much sooner than incur the loss of Japan
as a member of the great international group
he seeks to form.
True, Saionji promised that in time Japan
would return Shantung to China, and the ideal
ist accepts this as pledge, but not a word is
said as to when the restoration will be made,
nor of the qualification since applied from
Tokyo, that the state depends on the behavior
of China, with the implication that the
Japanese will be the final interpreters Of that
behavior. No wonder the populace went wild
with joy when their emissary to Paris reached
home. He brought with him the richest prize
the empire ever seized, and At the price of
few pleasant phrases.

CONSTITUTION DAY.

Observation Of the anniversary OF the adop-
ton OF the Federal Constitution contains some
thing = little beyond the mere celebration of a
birthday. 1t is, or ought to be, the beginning
of a movement Of re-education of those people
who have lost sight Of the fundamentals which
are represented by that document and the
population whose ignorance on the point is
as great as it is deplorable.
The constitution Of our government, de-
scribed by William Ewart Gladstone as the
most wonderful work ever struck off at given
moment BY the brain and purpose Of man." has
been assailed by Victor Berger as an outworn
relic OF barbarous age. Socialists Of all va
rieties demand that it be abandoned and some
less stable and durable charter be set in its
stead DR.. David Jayne Hill gives this outline
of the constitutional theory, on which our
government rests:
/. that government should consist in lin
tied and specifically delegated powers; 2. that
these powers should be so separated and d.
vided that no individual or group should con-
troll all of them; 3. that the exercise of them
should be eonfided to responsible representa-
tives Of the whole people; T.. that legislation
should be limited by the provisions OF
fundamental law; ,. tndt THIS law SHoulu COLI
tain guarantees of personal rights and liber-
ties that should never be taken away by leg
islaton; s. that this charter of liberty may be
ampHfed, but never be changed by mere
majority of the people, and only by the de-
liberate act of plurality so preponderant as
to prevent any group.interest from exercis
ing its arbitrary will in violation of the in
herent rights and Liberties of an otherwise
defenseess minority; and 7. the establish
ment of a supreme judiciary charged with
the duty of seeing that the fundamental law
is not violated by any state or federal legs-
lation.
That is the essence of the American con-
stituton, under which this country has grown
since 1887 to be the mightiest power for good
in all the worlds history. If our people have
lost sight of some things they should ever bear
in mind, or if some of them never have been
given right instruction in regard to the funda-
mentals, the condition should not be perpetual
ted. Constitution Day in the future ought to
mark the advance of Americans in understand
ing the charter Of their liberties.

Samuel Gompers' Silence.

Considerable emphasis is being laid on the
silence Of Samuel Gompers with regard to the
strike of the steel workers. This might not be
so if the public generally understood the
constitution of the American Federation of
Labor. That body is composed of autonomous
national and international unions, and few
directly affiliated federal unions, each of which
is supreme over its own affairs Mr.. Goppers
has no more authority to call strike or to
declare one off than has the president of the
United States. International unions, moving in
their own way and according to their own laws,
determine on strikes. 1t is true that Mr.
Gompers, through his personal influence, wields
great power in such matters his advice gener-
ally being listened to, although not always ac-
cepted. But his is not the last word, either in
starting or ending strike, and international
unions have hitherto been found very jealous
of their own business, This is one reason why
Mr.. Gompers is silent at the moment.

PERSHING.


Where's a man who is straight, strong
and ready?
Where's a man who Is always true7"
Jehovah spoke from his throne on high
That Pershing man will do.
I've tested the depths Of the soul Of
him.
And I know him all through and through
He's spanned both the field and the
flood.
He is straight. He is strong. He is
ready,
And far more than that-he's good
My truth is his shield and his buckler
And he's done what he said he would"
Refrain:
And the angels of Glory
Now are telling the story
That for long ages hoary
Glad earth chorused again.
Hill and valley are ringing.
Many waters are singing,
Joyful tidings they're bringing.
Peace and good will to men,
So to Pershing we gave full two millions.
We had ten millions more than went
A signal famed and they sprang to
arms.
New hope their young souls lent
tried west"
But they left as on pleasure bent.
My comrades in khaki, by night or
Trust God Hold the line. Never fear"
Thus did Pershing's firm faith lead them
They 0n answered with right good cheer.
The years long will roll back the echo
OF that Lafayette, We are here"

Insanity.

L. E. M.-My father sold his farm
about four years ago and at the time
he sold 1t he showed symptoms of
insanity. The consideration paid for
the farm was much less than it's
actual value. Since then his condi-
ton has grown worse, so that it
was necessary to conf1ne him to an
asylum. Can the children set aside
this deed by paying back the con-
sideration?
Answer-If your father was in
competent at the time of the sale,
the transaction Is absolutely void
and you can set the deed aside.
