This tragedy took three
friends out Of my life, but how
much more to be desired was
their fate to that which befell
my brother and myself ! Those
who have been unjustly ac-
cused of minor offenses and
have suffered because of it,
may have a slight idea of the
torture, the humiliation, the
mental and physical horrors
of more than seven years In
the degrading environment of
a jail.
Five Of these years were
spent in a solitary death-cell
during which period ! suffered
the agony Of no less than ID
teprieves and was once within
two days of execution.
From this cell I watched
condemned men, one after an
other, pace their slow march
to the gallows, wondering in
dull despair if I were to be the
next one; thinking Of oppor-
tunities I had had to "go out"
In my own way but failing to
take advantage of them, ever
hoping ! might some day re-
turn to my mother and my
homeland with the good name
and record restored, which I
had brought with me to this
country.
Doesn't Feel INDICATED
Though the Government has at
last dismissed the case against me,
yet ! cannot feel fully indicated
until the facts in so far as they
can be known, are made public.
These facts were not brought out
clearly in my three trials; many Of
them were not known by my law
Sers until the last trial, and then
It seemed impossible to get them
effectively into the case.
The ''ruleS of evidence" in Amer.
lean courts seem better tdapted for

Sunday morning at 11:00 DR..
j. N. Mclean, Synodical executive
of the Presbyterian church in
Montana, will preach in the above
church. In the evening at 500
DR.. w. R. Harshaw of Minneapo-
lis, regional executive for Mon
tana, South Dakota, North Dakota
and Minnesota will meet with the
officers and workers of the church
for a discussion of the program
of the church at large.
DIR. Mclean will also accom-
pany the pastor across the river
to the Pleasant Valley service.
Come and bring a neighbor with
you.
This week the pastor, in COM
pany with H. T. Smith, has been
seeking funds to make the ne
cesssry repairs to the church roof
and ceiling. They Were greatly
encouraged with their reception
at every call and a large portion
of the money is at hand.
Have you ever Thought that
while the church is interested in
all reform and often is the NOV
ling spirit in reform yet the
church is not a reform agency,
that although the church does
educate and has many colleges I'M
der its wing it is not primarily
an educational agency; also that
while it often lends itself as a dis
.seminator of propaganda, good
and sometimes not so good, the
church is not a propaganda
agency. The prime function of
the church is a spiritual M and
when it forgets that fact it is
apostate, and has violated the
trust that God has laid upon it.
To inspire, to guide, to heal, and
to feed the souls of men is its
only proper function.
We extend a heary invitation
to all young people to attend our
Young Peoples discussion meet
ings on Sunday evenings at 700.

Plea for Extension Renewed.


Preceding this action the association
voted to renew its plea for the eX-
tension of Fourteenth street through
the hospital grounds. Edgar b. Hen
derSOn, president of the association,
said that it was merely through pride
ana not because of any logical reason
that a few Army officers in the Medi-
cal Corps We're standing in the way
of the Improvement sought by the citi-
Zens and said to be favored by Il large
number OF Government officials.
The desire of the association is that
Fourteenth street should be the same
width through the hospital grounds
at other places and that the car
line should also be extended
1t was brought out that the argu-
mcnt against the noise of street, cars
would not be sustained in view OF the
fact that the line would be a consider
able distance away from the buildings,
while on the Georgia avenue side the
wards are located directly on the
street where che cEy ard suburban
cars operate.
