SHERIFF ORDERS
SOCIALIST SPEAKER
TO LEAVE OTTAWA
COUNTY OFFICIAL TAKES HAND
IN STREET MEETING, BUT IS
GIVEN REPLY COURTEOUS
ORATOR BLAMES UNREST ON
n. c. OF L.

As the socialist meeting addressed
by Edgar Owens in the court house
square was drawing to a close last
evening Sheriff Curt Ayers furnished
bit of diversion by quietly stepping
up to Mr.. Owens and ordering him out
of the county.
Owens inquired of the sheriff who
he might be, and when informed as to
the ndentiy replied:
"Your duties are to see that order
is maintained. This is lawful meet
ing and has the sanction Of the mayor
of Ottawa. 1t is being conducted
under the auspices of the local sociai
ist organization, and your office is to
see that peaceable assemblage is not
infringed upon"
As far as could be learned by the
sheriff's officers today. Mr.. Owens was
not inside the city. He is slated, how
ever, to deliver an address in StreatOr
tonight.
A large number of persons heard
the address, which was principally
along tn line of the high cost Of liv'
ing The speaker, who is state or.
ganiZer for the party, endeavored to
show that the state of unrest mani
Testing itself throughout the world
was principally due to the fact that
people are finding it difficult to make
ends meet.
Owens insisted that unemployment
was bound to increase as result OF
the Generalization of industrial con
ditions due to unsettled world condi-
tions and summed up the remedy in
one word, Organization" A shorter
workday that will absorb the unem-
ployed army is indispensable If this
country would avoid the critical sit.
uation that has developed in Europe,
said the speaker. Unless the gulf
between the cost of living and the
compensation you receive is bridged

will be heard on the streets Of o.
