LAWS EASY ON REDS.
SAYS CAPTAIN MILLS

Absence Of laws under which members
o fanarchistic, I. w. w and Bolshevik
organizations could be punisLud, has
hampered the police in their efforts to

intendent of police. At the same tr,e.
Captain Mills expressed the belief that
legislation making membership In such
bodies a crime woud be enacted In the
The lack of proper authority has been
responsible for the attitude OF Federal
authorities toward terrorsts, which has
"Under existing laws" continued the
captain. I'VE have to wait till they blow
up the town before we can get after
them. II Is no crime, you know, to be-
long to the |. W. W. or the Revolution
airy Labor party. or the Bolsheviki or
and kindred combination.
THAT is the law. But 1t will have
to be changed, and. in fact. I prophesy
that it will be changed within the next
year or two. This thing of terrorism,
this Bolshevism, is not confined to any
city or state, 1t is everywhere, and |,
will have TO be met with the real iron
hand.
THAT is what they are going to get
In this city. We have seen what they
mean to do, and we are going after
them in just the same way"
Captain Mills insisted tn 1t he had nc

toward the revolutionaries. He said
apparently the Federal officials knew
what they were about and had reasons
which he did not know for taking the
stand they did.
From another source. however, it was
learned that the governmental policy re.
garding the reVolutionaries was directed
from Washington. 1t was due. so 1t Is
understood, from a desire to make nc
martyrs of any of them, in order thal
agitation like that over the Mooney case

Two Farm Houses
Entered by Robbers

Beresford, Aug. 14.--Some un
known parties entered the homie OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Blumer, northeast
of town while the Blumers were on a
visit to Swan Lake, and ransacking
the home stole thrift stamps to the
value of SIS, some rare coins. and a
few other small articles.
Entrance was effected through the
removal of a window screen, on 'the
side of the house opposite from the
road. The raiders then made their
getaway undiscovered, though John
Emery, who was shocking in dis
tant field, recalled afterwards that ne
saw two men at the house during the
forenoon and that after having con
siderable trouble starting their car
they went east.
That the offenders are veteran
might be inferred by the fsft that
watch which lay in plain sight wa
not taken. This ii is figured, wa
due to the fact that they might b.
identified by the watch. The thrif
stamps are not registered.
On the same day the home OF c. X
Milliken was entered and $40 in casi
and Miss Farie's wrist watch wer'
taken. The robbers did better jo|
here. About 500 in Liberty bond
were overlooked.
