HONGhONG, China. Aug. 5.-Five
thousand lives are believed TO have been
lost Wednesday in the typhoon which
devastated Swatow district. twenty-four
miles north Of here, according TO es-
Inmates received TO-DAY. The typhoon
was the worst IN the history OF the
Swatow district.
The report states that dead bodies
are seen floating amid the wreckagc
everywhere in the harbor and that prac-
ticaily every house m the city of Swatow
Is either destroyed or damaged. The
flood which followed the high winds
drove all the inhabitants out OF the city.
Several cOastwise British steamers,
which were wrecked by the typhoon, are
lying in positions which render them an
easy prey for the pirates which infest
that region on the China coast.

Mary Austin S Attitude
Toward Child's PRAYERS

says: I'D teach every child to pray
every day. 1t doesn't matter if a
child hasn't the least idea of God. As
he grows up, he makes a God for him

old man climbing on a door an ac-
count of a hymn which ends with
Whom every cline adores.' What did
il matter if he were an old man, when

came more spiritual in conception?

| didn't understand one line of it. Yet
it meant so much to me that l said it
over and over again for the sheer love
of it. 1t just did something to me. I
think prayer, whether you believe in
it or not, does something for you and
to you. 1t is a child's heritage, like
eating and sleeping. He doesn't un-
derstand what eating is or why. but
we feed him anyhow"

Citizens Who Neglect
to Vote Are Slackers,
Says League President

The man or oma who fails to
vote this autumn ought to have a
white feather pinned on says Mrs.
Maud Wood Park, president OF the
National League of Women Voters.
Such n man. such a woman. rs a
Stacker. In time of war there are
several ways of ~betraying the coun-
try; in time of peace there is only
one-failure to cast a conscientious
vote. Men and women who will not
vote are doing all they al do 10
destroy democracy, for no country
in which elections are decided by
the votes of the minority with a
great body of voters too lazy OF
mind to take part in elections. is
anything but a despotism, the rule
of the indifferent many by the self
ish few.
THE working out of a real dem
ocraCy has only two problems-how
to get men and women to vote in
every election and how to get them
to look at puhlidquestions from the
viewpoint of the good of the whole
people. Our league works all the
year round to make voters take
the national not the Gopher Prairie
viewpoint. and for the next two
months it's members must make a
special effort to help create the
voting habit. the habit of fighting in
the great p~eace-time army.
EVERY woman must do her ut
most to assure that no woman in
her community shall neglect to vote
either out of ignorance or the proc
esses of voting or of the Importance
of voting. 1t is not the business of
the league To tell women for whom
to vote, but how to vote and why
to vote and when to vote. This year
| think it will not be amiss for the
league TO add rs its business can
did expressions of opinion as TO
slackers. The men and women who
fail to vote are nothing else than
slackers and / am not at all sure
that Stacker isn't too mild and po-
lite a word to apply to them"

After the war indictments were fire.
ouently brought. but they were all
dropped before conviction, only a few
of them coming TO trial. General
Grants terms of surrender guaranteed
that Lees men would be released on
parole, and would not be molested by
United States authority for participa-
ton in the rebellion. While it vas not
within the military power to grant
such terms. they were respected. and
these men were deemed beyond the
reach OF prosecution for treason.
In the case of jefferson Davis,
preparations were made for his prose-
c%ution. the charge being treason be-
fore the federal circuit court at Rich
mond under the act Of 1890, the penalty
of which was death; but the general
amnesty proclamation of December,
1868. caused the dismissal of his and
all similar cases.
During the great war, the treason
law was found unavailable as a means
of Furnishing disloyal and hostile acts,
and the espionage act was passed to
deal with the emergency. Four prose-
cutions for treason were instituted
merely as test cases to develop the
possibilities of the statutes, but none
of them resulted In conviction.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-09-24

Convictions for treason against the
United States have been very few. and
it is a striking fact that at no time in
our national history has anyone actual
ly been punished as a result of judicial
conviction for the crime. Some of the
leaders of the Whisky rebellion of 1894
were convicted and sentenced to death
as traitors. but were pardoned by
President Washington.
In 1898 an insurrection in eastern
Pennsylvania TO resist a land tax
passed by congress gave rise to the
famous Fries case. Fries was tried
for treason, and it was in his elaborate
charge to the jury, since often cited,
that Judge Ireden declared that OPP
posing the execution of any law by
force of arms amounted to levying
war. Fries was convicted and sentenced
TO death, but was pardoned by Presi-
dent Adams.

treason TRIAL in our history, and it

numerous in the North, but the ad-

not to prosecute them.
