If the report* of the daily pre** are true, which no doubt they are. the state made out it* case without question. The killing of I Jeu tenant Grimm was admitted and it was proven that he was at least 100 feet from the I. W. W. hall when the fatal bullet passed through hi* body. It was proven beyond a doubt that there was firing from two point* out*ide the hall, which Judge Wilson in hi* charge said was unlawful, or in a plain word, murder. THE DIFFERENCE. When President Wilson came home from Paris he brought th* treaty of Vefsaille*. While thi* treaty was not just as th* president would have it, yet it was the Ixxit obtainable after several months' diplomatic la­ bor with the treaty delegate* fr«»m many nations of the world. It was the result of compromise and which has l>een the basis of all treaties be- tween nations in the past and which will lie the case with treaties of the future. The word “treaty" implies compromise anyway A treaty could not be formed otherwise. Within two or three daya the pres- idenl submitted the treaty to the U. 8. senate for ratification After nearly 15 months of wrangling, con- firmation has not t>ecn reached. The republican side, under the leader- ship of Senator Lodge, a practically 1 new treaty has lieen evolved, not by ' b* held responsible for the failure of the Ixxig* treaty, but not for th* failure of th* Veraaills* treaty.
