HELD AT BUTTE

quest into the dealh of Frank 11. Lit
tle, I. W. W. organizer and official
who was lynched by n parly of vigi
lantes in Itutta last Wednesday
morning, starts tins afternoon nt '2
o'clock before Coroner Aencns Lane.
For the inquest, Coroner Lane bus
mimmotifd seven jurors, each of
whom is a miner or ex-miner. Four
of the jurors arc at present engaged
in mining.
Mine union officials this morning
staled that Little's bodv will lie
' shipped from Hullo to Yale, Oklu..
leaving Hutte on Sunday night. They
say tho casket will he followed from
tho uodci'tukim establishment to the
depot by a procession of miners.
Little has a brother living in Yale.
Okln., i ml other relative in I'erkins,
Okla.
So fur city officials have made no
intimation that' the funeral proces
sion of men will bo prohibited. It is
understood that the procession will
lie allowed, if order is preserved and
Im banners are carried by the men
in the procession.
OBJECT TO "DIRECT ACTION.'
nPIIK ultimatum of -W. D. Haywood, head of the I. W:
V., to 1-resiuent Wilson declaring that if the mem
bers of his organization deported from Arizona and in
terned in New Mexico, were not (released that he would
call a general strike to cripple harvest and mine opera
tions turnout the nation, is about the most colossal ex
lubition of gall and presumption, -on reqord. , Haywood
should be arrested, and imprisoned at once for seeking to
hamper the :na,uon. when at.os at war tor its existence.
; The J. -W., V. refuse to recognize established conven
tions, and are, exponents of "direct action." They preach
treasoivjdisloyalty, murder, arson, destruction and sabot
age and the overthrow of the law to accomplish their
revolutionary aims. Denying the authority of the law,
they have the etirontery to appeal to the law. lor pro
teetion from those they have outraged, who have followed
their own example and taken the law into their own hands.
Butte vigilantes, tired of having treason preaehed and
patriots defamed, wearied of causeless labor disturbances'
by irresponsible agitators, tried a little 1. W. W. "sdirect
action" upon fine of the I. W. W. leaders and there is a
mighty howl being raised by the organization because
they were given a dose of their own: medicine. , A little
'direct action" was practiced hy indignant citizens of"
Bisbee and a little at Jvlamath Falls, where $160,000 fire'
loss had. been sustained and residents objected to having
their buildings and crops destroyed and their .livestock
poisoned. '. .- ,.
Two, wrongs do not make a right. - Neither deporta
tions nor lynchings are justifiable. American people are
a law-abiding .people, but ,any attempt to introduce a rule
of anarchy is going to establish Judge Lynch and.his court
of direct action for the champions of direct action when
the machinery ot Jaw and order break down...-.
Had officials of .Montana, and Arizona prprriptly .pun
ished traitors and lawbreakers, the disgraceful scenes that
followed would have been averted. But the American peo
ple are jn no humor to tolerate, treasonable activities on
the part of anarchists and where the officials fail to stamp
out dens of human rattlesnakes, will 'jor sqlf-pfeservation,
stamp them out themselves.. Inaction by .public . officials

TWENTY-NINE years ago Harold Frederic, a famous
A American novelist of the period, was the Berlin cor
respondent ot the New York Times. . Toe old German, em
peror, William the First, had recently died. His son,
Friedrieh Wilhelrn, an able man with liberal tendencies
and an English wife, lay dying of cancer. The young
crown prince, destined to be William the Second, was im
patiently waiting for the time he should mount the throne.
All the world was wondering what manner of man he was
and what he would do to the peace of Europe. '-..
, Frederic sent to his miner a. Ions' Pen nicture which not
'only showed William as he was, but, with singular clarity,
snowca just wnat,ii menace he was to the world. ;, . ,;
Nte this passage:. , .. . .:: :; J---
- "You will look into the face of this young Ilohenzollern and remember
with wondering reservations the malignant. tales which have been told of
his Inner nature by thoBe who kaew It best. Apparently all the women at
loast all tho English women 'Who have. had to do with the bringing up of
Prtnee William hold hint In horror and detestation. Their dislike for. him,
is based on a general conception of his character. This view 1b that he is
utterly cold, entirely selfish, wantonly cruel; a young man without con
science or compassion or any softening virtues whatever. That he has great
abilities they all admit, but they stop there. Heart he has none upon their
rucKonniK.
"William Is very deeply and thoroughly Prussian. He Is a living,
breathing embodiment of all rue nuallties and lack of ouallties which thru
precisely two centuries, have brought tho little Mark of Brandenburg up
from a puny fife, with a poor scattered population, to the Rtate of a great
kingdom. Ho la saturated with all the instincts and ideaSi which have raised
ois parvenu rrussia to its present eminence and his. character 1b the crown
and flower of theso two centuries of might and ruthleasness and spoillatlon
cAuin-u imuNi ciueu.
Speculating about him, Frederic predicted he was a
world-fighter, just as was his 'ancestor Frederick ilm
Great. Je pointed out that whenever a Ilohenzollern
crown prince married a girl of the house of Brunswick, the
eldest sou was one who was a captain of men. . .. ..
Written nearly three decades ago by a man long since
dead, there is a truth in his words that makes them sound
as if they were written yesterdav with full knowledge of
...1... i. Ai.:.. n . i. ii i i . . . . - ...
wii.ii mis .uoiiciizoiicrn nas orougut upon the world. All
the latent dangers in the man's character were perfectly
clear to Frederic. He used the very word "ruthlessness"
concerning which, we have heard so much since August,
1914. There is no difference between the William we see
and the one Frederic saw save that we know by his foul
deeds what he is, whereas tho novelist knew him onlv lw
intuit ion based upon observation. The kaiser was alwav's
evil, llo was always a danger to the world. The onlv
question was when he would feel himself strong enough i'o
in tempi, to put ins oream ot worui-euipire into execution.
patlble, they usually begin to wrangle
over Don-resistance. But If the spirit
of Christianity prevailed, it would be;
unnecessary to ask whether there
should be submission or resistance to
Injury, because the spirit that prompts
Injury would be driven out and tsJ
limco mien uy goon-win. a man would
be consumed by a burning zeal to ben
eflt bis neighbor, and a nation wonM
be -similarly Inspired. 0 ' ''
This Is the essence of Christianity,!
and It Is the solution of all difficulties
In the relation of men and nations.
Peace movements, however, well
meant, have usually failed, because.
they -were negative rather than posl
Uve.'. They' called . upon men to re
frain rather-than to act. Hence they
broke oown when confronted with the!
enthusiasm aroused by war. J
Is there still hope1, for positive
Christianity? The trend of modern
thought and action- strenghtens that
hope. More and more religion i te
lng associated with action and se'vloe,
less and less with doctrine and cere-,
tnony and creed. Men of unquestlon
ed sincerity have developed this ten-:
denoy. But without entering Into the
logical discussion It Is beyond ques
tion that the zeal of social service Is
a foroe making tor the' betterment of.
humanity, and should be ' recogulzed
and used. : ' - ' ' ''
This Idea Is Just as applicable to
International relations as to those 6f
Individuals, tor nations have no rea
son for being except to benefit Indiv
iduals. Their rivalry should be rival
ry In Bervlce for humanity. "
' Of coarse, there are difficulties In
the way of applying this truth. A na
tion like an Individual, may be blinded
by Vanity, greed or hatred, bo as to
become an ohslacle to progress and ah
enemy to mankind. Non-resistance to
such an evil may be advocated by sin-
cere extremists; but the general Oplh-i
Ion and sentiment of mankind Is
against such a doctrlh.
If the present war has Illustrated In
a terrible way the tin-Chrlstlan spirit
of hatred and -lawless ambition, It has
Illustrated also the Christian spirit of
co-operation.- The alliance of which
re form port is not perfect, but its
motive 'In the main. Is good, and it
contains - possibilities of benefit to
mankind, and of the establishment of
better order. This aim should be
steadily kept in view. .
Has Christianity Failed?
11 Y tilt. J. LAWUKNCIO 11 ILL.
The question has often been asked
whether the present state of Kuropo
Is an evidence of tho failure ot Christ
ianity. My answer Is that Christian
ity bus not been tried and found want
ing. It litis been found difficult and
not tried. This Is, no doubt, what
Ilernaiil Shaw, tho cynic and hyper
oi It lc. hud In mind, when. In a recent
address delivered In London, ho said:
"Men huvo tried everything else now
let them try Hod." -'
Kuropo used to bo culled Christen
dom, ami for centuries there was nn
apparent real fur Christianity. It was
however, manifested largely In qmir

called religious wars mid In the porse-

men mistook their own bad temper,

IT SURE
OF LOYALTY OF
Wl CITIZENS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. Tresi
dent Wilson, in a letter to Represen
tative Dyer of Missouri, today, re
iterated his confidence in the loy
alty of the great body of American
citizens of German blood.
Bepresentative Dyer complained
that federal officials liad discharg
ed without hearing and simply on
statements or affidavits, 'citizens of
German blood in St Luiiis whose loy.
hlty had been questioned."''' ..'
Your letters have struck a re
sponsive chord in my mind," the
president wrote. "I have been made
aware from Various sources of the
unfortunate position in which a Very
large 'ririmher of our loyal . fellow
citizens are placed :hecause'of their
German origin or affiliations.
"I nm sure flint they need no fur
ther assurance from the of .mv con
fidence in the entire integrity and
loyalty of 'the grent body of our cit
izens of German blood. You know
that not once, hut many times, in mv
public' addresses I have "expressed
this-ortnfidenee. I do not like to
make-another occasion to express it
simply because it would seem to in
dicate on my part a doubt as to
whether the country Jind believed my
previous assurances ' to be sincere.
May I not very respectfully suggest
that it would be easy to make use of
the passages I have referred to from
my former addresses to do something
-1 hope not a little to offset the
evil inf lncnces that arc tit -work."
