EXCITEMENT AT BRAYTON
Strange Man Hidden in Farm House
Knocks Twelve-Year-Old Girl
Unconscious,

Excitement reigned in Oakfield
Thursday evening when a maraud-
er went through the house of Chris
Nelson and wife, living on the Hard
man place, a half mile north of
Brayton, after binding and throwing
into a closet their twelve-year-old
daughter, Margaret, who was in the
house alone, and whom he first hit
on the head, rendering her uncon-
scious for two hours after the man
had fled. The man, who is deScrib-
ed by the girl as a large man VIII Jm
she had seen before at Audubon,
escaped from an upstairs window
when a neighbor woman frightened
him away by her approach. has not
recn seen since and there is no fur
Their clue to his identity. 1t was two
hours after they returned to the
house before the Nelson's found the
girl in the closet.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson went out to
milk and left their daughter in the
house alone. She was working up
stairs when the man grabbed her
The theory is that he had been in
the house since earlier in the day
and waited his chance to catch the
girl alone, as the Nelson's had heard
some noises several times but did
not go to investigate them at the
time. The man secured $3.50 and
three rings as his loot.
The girl is none the worse for her
experience.

WE ARE A WORKING PEOPLE

Mr.. Gompers is displaying too
much concern over the activities of
people he describes as enemies of
labor. Labor is in danger only from
the conduct of its misguided friends.
The American people are a working
people and they will never stand for
an injustice to workers. Neither,
on the other hand, will they coun-
tenance any permanent favoritism
to any particular class of workers,
either organized or unorganized.
Whenever Mr. Gompers urges for
for labor only what he is willing 20
concede to others, he will succeed.
But the 12-hour farmer, with no
time and half for over time, and no
compensation for service not render
ed, will not stand for the class
privileges imposed upon the people
through a socialistic management
of the railroads while under govern
ment control. Equal rights for all
and special privileges for none Is a
principle that will eventually prevail
in America. and Mr.. Gompers can
not prevent.

COURT FINDS FOR SENATOR
Supreme Court Decides That Poll
ticians Were Not Guilty,
Under the Law.

Conviction of United States Sen
ator Truman p Newberry in the fed
eral court in Michigan for conspir-
acy TO violate the federal corrupt
practices act was set aside by the
United States supreme court. The
conviction of sixteen other defend
ants, convicted with Newberry, also
were set aside. The court held that
congress was without power to reg
ulate primaries.
The case of United States Senator
Truman H. Newberry of Michigan
and sixteen of his political associates
reached the supreme court of the
United States from the federal dis
trict court at Grand Rapids, Mich,
where the appellants were found
guilty March 20, 1920, of criminal
conspiracy to violate the federal
corrupt practices act.
The senator was sentenced by the
district judge, Clarence w. Sessions,
to two months Imprisonment at FIT.
Leavenworth and fined $4,000.
This, the extreme penalty of the law,
was also placed against two others,
the remaining sentences running
down to a fine of $1,000.
The case started with 135 indict-
ments returned at Grand Rapids No
vember 20, 1919. It was called for
trial January 27, 1920, and lasted
eight weeks, eighty-five of the orig
inal list of defendants being still be-
fore the bar when the jury retired.
One man was granted a separate
trial because of illness and one was
never arrested, having gone to South
America before the indictments
were returned. Twenty-three were
dismissed on motion of Frank G..
Daley, special assistant attorney
general, at the close of the govern
ment testimony on March 2, 1920,
and the next day Judge Sessions
freed fifteen more. Seventeen were
found guilty, sixty-eight acquitted
and the cases of ten who pleaded mol
contendere were dismissed after the
Jury returned its verdict.

GOOD OFFICES. BUT
NO INTERFERENCE

Again President Harding has
avoided the net set for him by
scheming Europe. This time the in
vitation came from Germany. 1t
was a request that the President
project himself into the reparations
controversy and actually "fix the
sum to be paid by Germany to the
Allied powers" The message at
least had the quality of frankness,
so lacking in many of the other
communications that have come to
us from across the water. There
was no mincing of words, but the
President was asked point blank to
announce himself as the dictator of
reparations, discard the indemnity
program that the allies have de-
termined upon, and write another
schedule Of payments.
The corollary Of such a proposal,
II it had been accepted by President
Harding, is simple enough. The
moment payments under ii Jagged,
the allies would let it be known in
no uncertain terms that the repara-
tions program had been proclaimed
by America and they looked to
America to see that its terms were
complied with. There would be lit
tie enthusiasm among the allies for
enforcing penalties in the framing
of which they had no hand, and the
United States, having accepted the
German promise to pay would be
held to be morally bound to see that
the promise was made good.
But President Harding uncere-
moniously rejected the suggestion
that he assume the role of umpire.
And in doing so he carefully refrain
ed from going to the other extreme
or writing an Endorsement of the
reparation schedule as now fixed by
the allies. He kept as clear from
ENHANCEMENT with that side OF the
question as with the other. He in
timated that if Germany cared to
resume negotiations he would con
slider bringing the matter to the at
tention of the allied governments"
Aside from the specific issues in
volved in this particular note, the
communication is notable from its
sustained adherence to the Harding
policy of non-interference with the
affairs of Europe. The United
States stands ready to further the
cause of peace in every proper way,
and is willing to act as the inter-
mediary in the exchange of views
between Germany and the allies,
but further than that America can
not go. Such a policy is precisely
in accord with American traditions
under Republican administrations.
1t was exactly the course pursued
by Theodore Roosevelt in extending
his good offices to Japan and Russia
in their war OF 1904. He avoided
any expression as to the merits of
either side in that struggle, merely
facilitating the mutual discussions
that eventually led to the Treaty of
Portsmouth.
America was then, as ut is now
great moral force for peace and
justice-a force that would only be
weakened by foreign commitments.

HAYWOOD LEAVES U. s.

big Bill" Haywood, chief of the
so-called, but greatly misnamed, I'm
dustrial Workers of the World" is
reported to have arrived safely in
Moscow and to be proposing to take
Bolshevik propaganda in nations
outside of Russia. In going to
Russia at this time Haywood is
jumping bail to report for service
at the federal penitentiary in Leaven-
worth upon general charges of Sc
dition during the critical period of
the late war, and 1t is impossible to
conceive OF any other servicewhat-
ever that he could render to the
country comparable to the service OF
getting out of the country. Hay
wood has been an meter of trouble
ever since his name has become at
all familiar to the reading public,
and IL is probable that he constitutes
the worst contribution that America
has yet made to the Russian COM
plications. He is so bad that even
the Bolsheviks may tire OF him and
want to pass him on.

Senate Confirms Army Promotion

Washington, March 1.-The Senate
confirmed today the long list Of army
promotions on which Senators refused
to act when sent to the recent session
by President Wilson, and which was
resubmitted to the present session by
President Harding without change.
The men in the [. S. Senate are
presumed to be the highest type Of men
on earth with matured minds and
sober and sound thoughts, but during
the past two years the majority has
consisted of the most petty pigmy
minds in the Nations history. Never
was such peanut politics played. Con-
firming President Wilson's nomina-
tions by President Harding without
change is the only one example.
