MURDER IS MURDER ROOSEVELT STATES

HIS EDITORIAL He Denounces "Apologists" of McNamaras as "Mere Inciters to Murder" in the Strongest Terms. (Continued from Page One.) clous moral turpitude on their part. We are dealing with crimes as old a the law giving from Sinai, with crimes murder and theft that have been prohibited ever since the decalogue was formulated. The murders committed by men like the McNamaras, although nominally In the interest of organized labor, differ not one ; whit In moral culpability from those committed by the Black Hand, or by i any band of mere cutthroats, and are f rough t with an Infinitely heavier (inenace to society; yet great though I the menace is to the community, the ) menace to the cause of honest organ ized labor is still greater, and no dufiy of affirmatively freeing them selves and their followers from the taint of responsibility for such crlmlSials are such crimes. The labor lead ers who by their loud championship of the McNamaras as previously of pfoyer and Haywood have succeeded In Identifying them with the cause hof labor In the eyes of the public fave rendered an evil service to that lauae. iMr. Debs and the extremists rcf bis type among the so-called polirtlcal Socialists I say so-called be cause Debs and his followers of the Emma Goldman kind are not SocalIsts at all in any true sense of the word, but mere Inciters to murder and preachers of applied anarchy knd the labor leaders affiliated with jthem, have always boasted of the part they played In the trial of Mover and Haywood; and in this case they re peated their familiar tactics, and neld mass-meetings, and scattered troadcast papers and addresses In which the furiously denounced the B' if fort to bring wrong-doers to juetce, and sought to arouse every evil klass Instinct against all who upheld tthe cause of law or sought to put a top to assassination and murderous 'violence. It is worth nothing that since MoNamara confessed his guilt Sir. Moyer, the head of what purports to be a labor organization, is reported in the press as commenting upon it, not by denouncing McNamara for having committed the murder, but by denouncing him for hIng confessed it! Such denunciation 'Is significant. Murder Is Murder. "Murder is Murder," and the fool4sh sentimentalists or sinister wrongdoers who try to apologize for it as an 'incident of labor warfare' ara i not only morally culpable but ara (enemies of the American people, and, above all are enemies of American twage-worker.. In honorable contrast to these men stand the various labor leaders who have never asked iVor more than a fair trial for the McMNamaras, whose purpose has only iibeen to get Justice, and who sternly Klemand that murder shall be punlshicd when committed In the nominal interest of labor precisely as under lany other circumstances. I believe with all my heart in the American fWorkingman; I believe with all my Itieart In organized labor, for labor Itnust be organized in order to project and secure its rights; and therefore with all my strength I urge my ffellow-citizens, the American men land women who earn their livelihood tas wage-workers, to see that their (leaders stand for honesty and obediience to the law, and set their faces like flint against any effort to identify the cause of organzed labor, directly or indirectly with any moveIment which in any shape or way (benefits by the commission of crimes jot lawless and murderous violence." 1ICE RINK TO SEAT 10,000 SPECTATORS VANCOUVER.

AMERICAN CORN. In Its Sturdy Vigor It Is Rtproentative of Our People. IndVn corn is a native of America. The ladinns cultivated it when the white man first came, and their legends carried it back to Mauitou. or Great Spirit, from whom it came as bis choicest gift to man. says the Washington Post. Without it the earlier settlements would have perished. It grows in all parts of the United States and in its every stage presents varied charms and attractions, more alluring to the eye than waving fields of wheat or rice, the white cotton or the splendid sugar cane, with which it vies in stateliness and outranks in its gorgeous and changeful hues of green. One-third of the human family lives on rice, but it is not the third that counts. The date palm is everything to the desert dweller. So is corn to the American, although often indirectly. He eats it on the cob and off, makes of it innumerable kinds of food and turns it into hogs and cattle. In Its sturdy vigor Indian corn Is representative of the people. It strikes its tap root deep into the earth, while the lateral roots reach out in every direction. It droops under the long drouth, but given two or three rains toward earing time it yields a harvest that puts the gloomy prophets to shame. THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Care With Which It Is Guarded From Fire and Thieves. It is very doubtful whether the British museum could ever be burned down. It Is more likely to be swamped first. There is enough water stored there in tanks to last for many days' continuous pumping in case by any chance the ordinury supply gave out. Every policeman on the premises, too, is also a fireman, being especially trained before be takes up bis duties. There is not a nook or corner in the remotest part of the building which could not be deluged in two minutes if necessity arose. Not only is there little chance of the museum itself being burned down, but also any building near it, for that matter, for the museum looks after them, too, hardly less carefully. Thieves have just about as much chance as fire has. Immediately after closing every gallery and every room in the building is gone through, searched and locked up, and then the whole process Is repeated again an hour later, this precaution being directed against fire rather than thieves. It is a full hour's hard work merely

to lock or unlock all the doors in tbe building. Pearson's Weekly. 8avd Ann a Ducking. A colonial shrew, who was threat ened with tbe ducking stool was once saved by this plea: "You wish to duck Ann Willott to cure her!" nerdefender declared. "Now, if she be not cured where is the gain in ducking her? And if she be cured all the women who now keep a guard over their tongues through distaste to be likened to such a known, notorious and contemptible scold as Ann will do so no longer; but, although it is not like any should become such as she. yet all will scold a little more than now they do. tbe check of her exam ple being removed. Now. it Is better that Ann. being a single woman with out family to afflict, should go unpunished and unducked. but despised by all, and wag her tongue as she will, standing therein for the whole town. than that she should be silenced and the tongues of other women run. more free." This argument seems to have pre vailed, for Ann Willott was never ducked. Old Tim Verdicts. A certain medieval Jury, as related in the Oxford and Cambridge Review, sitting upon tbe case of a man and his wife who bad been struck by lightning, returned the reasonable verdict. "No one is suspected." In another case, when the body of a man similarly killed was first found by his wife, the Jury was gratifyingly definite in its finding that "she is not suspected." In modern days the verdict in a case of self inflicted death is apt to be "tem porary insanity." This was beyond our medieval predecessors, but their formula showed a glimmering of the idea that a man must be mad to take bis own life, verdicts in such cases often being that the victim bad acted "by temptation of the devil."

SLOW BUT STEADY PROGRESSjy JURY Extreme Precautions Being Taken by the Federal Authorities.

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 15 The features of the federal grand jury investigation of the dynamite conspiracy are the small number of witnesses for each day's session, and the extreme measures adopted to insure secrecy and protect the identity of the witneses and members of the jury. Most of these concerned are out of town peo--pie and identification is difficult. As information regarding the names of persons most likely to be indicted, if any indictments are returned, is already in possession of newspapers, together with much data concerning "jobs" pulled off under alleged direction of McNamara and others, it is believed extraordinary precautions regarding the federal building and the jury are probably to prevent any possible tampering with jurors. The slow progress being made is taken to indicate the extreme thorougness of the probe. District attorney Miller today declared satisfactory progress is being made, and probably six witnesses are to be examined during the day. Chief of police Griffin and hotel keeper Danziger of Kansas City, where McManigal's confession says explosions were pulled off during J. J. McNamara's presence there, in August, 910, were expected to testify today. Subpoenas are out for V. E. Minnick, Elmer Bigelow, Carl Franklin, Mrs. Lizie Hiner, and E. M. Maddux, all of Muncie, where the dynamiters had a supply station for several months. STRANDED ACTOR DROWNS SORROWS Pleading guilty to the charge of public intoxication Frank Tremane was fined $1 and costs in police court this morning. Tremane, who was arrested about 7 o'clock last evening by Patrolman Edwards claimed to be connected with a show which played in this city Tuesday. The alleged thespian said he arrived here one day too late to join his company and for this reason he attempted to drown his sorrows. Price's are now serving several flavors of creams and ices.

LEE WON HIS LOVE. A Federal Soldier's Change of Heart on Gettysburg Battlefield. I -as in the battle of Gettysburg myself, and an Incident occurred there tvhich lnrgely changed my views of the southern people. I had been the most bitter anti-southern man and fought and cursed the Confederacy desperately. I could see nothing good In any of them. The last day of the fight I was badly wounded. A ball shattered my left leg. I lay on the ground not far from Cemetery ridge, and as General Lee ordered his retreat he and his officers rode near me. As they came along I recognized him. and. though faint from exposure and loss of blood, I raised up my hands, looked Lee in the face and shouted as loud as I could. "Hurrah for the Union!" The general heard me, looked, stopped his borse. dismounted and came toward me. I confess that I thought he meant to kill me. But as he came up he looked down at me with such

I a sad expression upon his face that all fear left me, and I wondered what he was about. He extended his hand to me and, grasping it firmly and looking right Into my eyes, said. "My son, I hope you will soon be well." If I live a thousand yeare I shall never forget the expression of General Lee's face. There he was. defeated, retiring from a field that had cost him and his cause almost their last hope, and yet he stopped to say words like those to a wounded soldier of the opposition who had taunted him as he passed by. As soon as the general had left me I cried myself to sleep there upon the bloody ground. Gamaliel Bradford, Jr., in Atlantic.

SANTA CLAUS WILL TRAVELJDH LINER Lusitania with Thousands of Presents to Disembark Saturday. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Dec. 15. Santa Claus was at the helm with Captain Charles when the big liner Lusitania came racing into port today laden with Christmas presents from foreign climes. The giant arrived at Quarantine at 4:20 a. m. in time to make her pier at 6 a. m. m. Straightway the crew of the Lusitania began hurrying about, while hundreds of men tugged and pulled at her cargo and a small army of customs officers attended to the passengers who were landing. All of this because the Lusitania in order to get back to England in time for the delivery of Christmas presents must discharge her cargo, take on a new one, with provisions and ice and start out again by tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The customs officers as well as the health officers at quarantine aided the Lusitania in getting into her dock without delay.
