stood by Jury or It Would
Not Have Convicted Her.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 1. A een
tence of 10 years In the Missouri State
Penitentiary was Imposed today In
Federal Court here upon Mrs. Rose
Pastor Stokes, of New York, Socialist
and self-styled "internationalist," as a
result of her conviction May 23 on an
indictment charging: violation of the
espionage act.
Mrs. Stokes' attorney grave notice of
an appeal to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, and Judge Arba S.
Van Valkenburgh granted the. defense
60 days In which to file Its bill of
exceptions. Judge Van Valkenburgh
also continued Mrs. Stokes' $10,000
bond, which means that she will re
tain her liberty until the case is finally
ruled upon by the higher court.
Mrs. Stokes was found guilty on
three counts of the Indictment, and
the court Imposed a sentence of 10
years" on each count to run concur
rently. The Missouri penitentiary was
chosen because the Federal prison at
Leavenworth, Kan., has no accommo
dation for women prisoners.
Accused Slake Statement.
In a statement to the court before
sentence was pronounced Mrs. Stokes
refterated that she had assumed it was
"her privilege to approve or criticise
any of the war alms" of the Govern
ment, and declared she recognized the
cause of America's entrance into the
war and had at no time opposed the
war.
In passing sentence. Judge Van Val
kenburgh said:
"I believe this part of a systematic
programme to create discontent with
the war, loss of confidence in the good
faith and sincerity underlying the con
duct of the war, and Its ultimate aims;
thereby to cause withdrawal of sup
port at home and a relaxation of ef
fort and effect in the field.
Nation' Interest Attacked.
"All this to the end that peace on
any terms may be brought about with
Germany and the interests of the Na
tion at large sacrificed for the realiza
tion of social and economic views of
certain groups.
"Co-operation for this common ob
ject among various Irresponsible or
visionary elements in the country is
perceptible. Some are undoubtedly In
spired from German - sources; others
may not be but the result, should they
succeed, would be the same. Revolu
tion, If deemed necessary. Is aimed at,
expected and practically invited.
"The lamentable situation already
brought about in Russia is the sub
stantial object here. Here, such a re
sult Is not to be anticipated.
Vigilance In United State Necessary.
"Of course, we know that existing
conditions here, racial and otherwise,
ere widely different. Nevertheless we
must not encourage harmful activities
by passive indulgence, however remote
the consequences may now appear.
"We have in this class of cases a
stubborn and determined resistance to
Governmental decree," Judge Van Val
kenburgh continued. "In a democracy
this amounts to defiance of the popu
lar will. To Justify the stand taken,
logic, reason and human sympathy are
speciously Invoked, but no standards of
uch are recognized, except those of
the objectors themselves.
"Such opposition amounts to fanat
icism, and continues after debate has
been closed by a final action on the
part of constitutional authorities. Un
ler such circumstances the only prac
tical remedy is a stern and substantial
application of legal sanctions.
"Therefore, Congress enacted this
law and the President approved It. It
was designed to meet a war danger.
Severe Penalty Imposed.
"Its comparative importance In the
minds of Congress is made manifest
by the penalty provided nearly if not
quite double that for any other offense
defined, except murder, treason and
analogous crimes." .
LINCOLN, Neb., June 1. Charges of
lukewarm Americanism made by the
Council of Defense against faculty

NEW YORK. June 1. J. G. Phelps
fotokes. husband of Rose Pastor Stokes,
In commenting here today on the ten
year prison sentence imposed upon his
wife, said:
"I am personally entirely certain that
had the Jury understood, as I under
stand her motives, they would not have
convicted her of the offense charged.
"Mrs. Stokes is not and never has
been opposed to active participation in
the war by the American Government.
"If the Judge had understood her
purposes as I do he would not have
felt that Justice required such a sen
tence."

and glossy. To a half pint of water add
1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of
Barbo Compound and M ounce of glyc
erine. These Ingredients can be
bought at any drug store at very little
cost, or the druggist will put it up for
you. Apply to the hair twice a week

look 20 years younger. It does not
color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub oil. Adv.

SHERIDAN'. Or.. June 1. (Special.)
Th Sheridan district is very well

many acres of rolling land make the
drainage right for the trees to grow.
This district today Is one of the finest

orchards within a radius of five miles
about the town.
Sheridan was built as an agricultural
town. In 191J the town burned and
left many people homeless. The town
was built up and in the place of the
old wooden structures brick ones were
erected. It Is now a market for the
ranches for miles around and will con
tinue to grow larger as the fruit acre
age comes into bearing.
The Fruitgrowers' Association has
built a cannery here and the market
