LAST POLITICAL
PRISONER
FREE
Sentence Of Joseph RaItrusai-
It's Is COMMITTED by
President Coolidge

The last Of the cases involving
Federal political prisoners prose
cuted under the wartime espionage
act was cleaned up today when
President Coolidge committed the
sentence Of Joseph Baltrusaitis, Of
st. Louis, serving two years in
Leavenworth Prison for distributing
a communist leaflet.
According to the American Civil
Liberties Union. which filed the ap-
plication for executive clemency in
Baltrusaitis' behalf, there is now
no other man In prison under war
laws involving expressions of
opinions, nor is any such case in
the courts. All matters concerning
Federal political prisoners during
the war have bene cleaned up with
the exception of the restoration of
the rights of citizenship, the con-
cluRion Of few deportation cases
based on wartime convictions, and
the termination Of a few paroles"
The Baltrusaitis case is charac-
terized by the Civil Liberties Union
as unique in the history os espion-
age act cases. He was arrested at
st. Louis in November. 1890, two
years after the arInistrice, for hand
ing a Communist leaflet to a dis.
guised agent Of the Department Of
Justice. His trial on an espionage
act charge did not take place until
eight months after the espionage
act was suspended by Congress, and
owing to delays in ths appellate
court, he went 10 prison only LAST
March. The theory of the prosecu-
ton was that the distribution Of
the Communist 1eaflet interfered
with the military service
The case Is described by the
union as a "frame-up by a Depart
ment Of Justice agent" Raltrusaitis
maintained that he did not read
English and did not know the
nature Of the leaflets, which he said
had been left with him by Rus
sian friend.
Baltrusaitis Is oeing held In the
county Jail at Leavenworth. Kan,
on a deportation warrant issued by
the Department Of Labor. He is a
Lithuanian. The Civil Liberties
Union Is fighting the deportation
proceeding on the ground that his
conviction does not justify It.

TWO GOLDEN DAYS.
By Robert ]. Burdette.

There are two days of the week up
en- which and about which l never
worry Two care-free days, kept sa-
credly free from fear and apprehen-
sion.
One of these days is yesterday. Yes
terday, with all its cares and frets,
with all its pains and aches, all its
faults. its mistakes and blunders has
passed forever beyond the reach OF my
recall. cannot undo an act that |
wrought | cannot unsay word that
said on yesterday. All that it holds
OF my life, OF wrongs, regret and sor-
row. is in the hands OF the Mighty
Love that can bring honey out OF the
rock and sweet waters out OF the bit
terest desert-the Love that can make
the wrong things right, that can turn
weeping into laughter. that can give
beauty for ashes, the garment OF
praise for the spirit OF heaviness, JOY
OF the morning for the woe OF the
night.
Save for the beautiful memories,
sweet and tender, that linger like per
fume of roses in the heart Of the day
that is gone | have nothing to cd with
Yesterday. 1t was mine; it IS now
Gods.
And the other day | do not worry
about is tomorrow. Tomorrow, with
all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its perils, its large promise and poor
Performance, its failures and mistakes,
lis as far beyond the reach OF my mas
terry as its dead sister, yesterday 1t
lis a day OF Gods Its sun will rise in
roseate splendor or behind mask OF
weeping clouds. But it will rise. I'm
til then the same love and patience
| that held yesterday and will hold to-
morrow shine with tender promise in
to the heart OF today. | have no pos
session in that unborn day OF grace.
| All else is in the safekeeping OF the
Infinite Love that holds for me the
treasure of yesterday-the owe that
! is higher than the stars, wider than
The skies, deeper than the seas. 10
morrow. 1t is Gods day. 1t will be
mine.
There is lett for myself, then, but
one day of the week-today Any man
can fight the battles of today. Any
woman can carry the burdens OF just
one day. ANY man can resist the temp
tation of today. O, friend, it is only
when to the burdens and cares OF to-
day, carefully measured out to us by
the. Infinite Wisdom and Might that
gives with them the promise: AS thy
day, so shall thy strength be, we
willfully add the burdens OF those two
awful eternities-yesterday and tomor-
row-,such burdens as only the mighty
| God can sustain-that we break down.
1t isn't the experience of today that
drives men mad 1t is remorse Tor
something that happened yesterday
the dread OF what tomorrow may dis
close
These are Gods days. Leave them
with Him.
Therefore, | think, and l do, and |
Journey just one day at time. That
| is the easy day That is mans. day
Nay, rather, that is our day-God
and mine. And while faithfully and
dutifully | run my course, and work
