violating the law by doing so. The
latter belief was carefully cultivated
in ways that border closely upon
criminal acts. Letters were sent out
bearing the designation of the Fed
eral Reserve District;" others had
the words "White House" on them
to make it appear as though they had
President Wilson's sanction; others
used the name of the United States
Treasury or the State Council of De-
Tense. In this way camoufiage OF
legality was given to actions which
were wholly illegal, such as the put
ting up of yellow cards, wherever any
man stood out against the demands,
! stating that the owners Of the prem
ises were ssslackers" and containing a
warning not to remove the card.
And one of the most disneartening
things about it all was the failure of
the legal authorities, whose sworn
duty it was to protect individuals in
their constitutional rights, to take
any action to end this reign Of terror
and mob violence. Prosecuting at
torneys refused to act when called
upon. Although standing for the
majesty of tile law, they fouted the
law and sanctioned, by their inactivi-
ty and tacit consent, the most fragrant
outrages of the yigilantes. | say that
these things are to the eternal shame
of Wisconsin and / can think of them
as nothing but the results of war
hysteria, which is now fortunately
giving way once more to sober second
sense, when mad passion passes, and
calm reason resumes it's sway.
Nor was Wisconsin alone in the
odium of such shameful conditions.
In the neighboring state of Iowa the
same or worse practices were INDUCED
in by corrupt big business and politics
and the foulest crimes perpetrated in
the name Of patriotism. | have no

GOVERNMENT NOT
TO BLAME IN MATTER
Wisconsin Farmer Throws
More Light on Practices
Employed in Some
Parts of Wis.

welcome the many signs of re-
placement of war hysteria by in
creasing sanity, as indicated by the
publication, within the past few
weeks, of articles condemning che IL
egal practices of local war organiza-
tions in parts of Wisconsin, including
many examples of mob violence and
brutality. One of the clearest indi-
cations of the revulsion of popular
feeling against such illegal me thods
and the re- establishment of law and
order as opposed to mob rule, is to be
found in seven page article in the
current issue of the Atlantic Month
ly, entitled "Prussianizing Wiscon-
SIM" 1t was written by Mr.. Charles
d. Stewart, formerly secretary to
Governor Phillip, and relates in de-
tail many instances of mob activi-
ties against farmers on the part of
city business men, often aided by
gangs of hoodlums, who went out
into the country districts and brow
beat, threatened, abused and even
assaulted farmers, not because they
were disloyal, not because they had
not subscribed to war campaigns, but
simply because they had not sub,
scribed as much as these self consti
tuted judges thought they should
subscribe.
Mr.. Stewart himself was one of the
victims of such inexcusable methods,
who stood on his legal rights and re-
fused to submit meekly to such high
handed and wholly illegal procedure,
which had inundated many farm
ers and city working men, either ig-
norant of their rights or fearful of
the results, if they failed to comply
with the demands put upon them.
AS result of this fearless stand
nothing at all happened to Mr..
Stewart, as is always the case when
one who his rights and has the cour
age to stand by them is dealing with
brutes who are towards at heart.
But how many farmers were there
in Wisconsin who were unable,
through ignorance or fear, to demand
justice in a similar situation? How
many loyal, patriotic citizens were.
reused from their beds at night by a
mob, assailed in the sanctIty of their
homes by ruff1ans, and denounced
with curses as traitors? How many
were attacked in their fields while
blowing and ordered to sign checks or
subscription blanks, or else hailed be-
fore mock court without any au-
thority whatever, whose only sin was
that they had refused to let men who
knew nothing of their circumstances,
dictate the exaQt amount they should
subscribe to what was supposed to be
voluntary aid for the government
Many of them doubtless thought that
such ''Ku- Klux- Khan" methods were
approved by the government, and
that the criminals who used them
spoke with the voice of legal authori-
ty. They feared to resist, both be-
cause of the dread of social ostracism
that would follow their being brand
ed as traitors, or having their houses
painted yellow, or for some vague
fear that they themselves might be
