If a man go upon an unlawful errand, he may be held to
answer flu* most serious charges that grow out of it, though he
may have intended nothing more than a “peaceful” errand. In
the case of the 1. \Y. \Y. crew that went to Everett, with the re
sultant murders, it is possible to charge each of them with con
spiracy and murder, to say nothing of a number of less serious
charges. It is not improbable that every man who was on the
boat when it i turned to Seattle may go to the penitentiary.
These insane disturbers went armed. They went with the
intention to violate one or more laws. They proposed to ravish
a city ordinance that prohibits public speaking in certain high
ways an ordinance that any city certainly has the right to
pa s. But they also had sent threats, it is reported, to burn the
city of Everett. Their conduct on preceding occasions was
symptomatic of criminal intent on this occasion.
The men of Everett displayed commendable determination
and bravery. They were prepared to meet force with force.
They willingly joined the sheriff in his program of law enforce
ment. tie did ids duty and did it well. Everett will gain widely
by her manly defens*' and by her vigorous aim at upholding the
dignity of the law.
\Yhat excuse can the officials of Seattle have for allowing
the vandals to depart? They knew many hours beforehand of f
tin' intended invasion. It even was announced in the Sunday j
morning papers. The Seattle officials had every reason to be
lieve if they thought of it at all—that the I. \Y. W. was going
on an evil mission. They were to somnolent or too cowardly to
interfere.

FIVE HUNDRED VIOLATIONS OF LAW.
Hough estimates indicate that the federal corrupt prac
tices act has been violated at least 500 times this year by can
didates for places in the national law making body, and' it will
be violated many times more before the year is over. When
congress reconvenes in December, Senator Owen will have an
abundance of “ammunition” with which to reopen his fight for
a real corrupt practices law—one with teeth in it. He will be
aide to show that the present law is not worth the paper on
which it is written.
The statute’s penalty provision is a joke. It purports to
inflict upon a violator the dire punishment of one year in the
penitentiary or $1,000 fine, or both fine and imprisonment, but
il does nothing of the sort.
The loophole is the word “wilful.” Before there can be a
conviction it must be proved that there was a “wilful” viola
tion. This puts the burden of proof on the government. The
old legal maxim, “ Ignorance of the law excuses no man,” is set
aside by this statute. If a man is ignorant of this law he is ex
cused.
One of Senator Owen’s plans to put teeth in the law pro
side- for the elimination of this word “wilful.” Then it will
command respect.
The 500 or more violations in this campaign are not all due
to failure to report. Many who have reported have done so
after the time limit expired', which makes them transpressors
the same as if they had not reported. Many others who have
reported as to receipts and expenditures have not complied
with another provision which says that the candidate must de
clare under oath what promises he has made, if any, to advance
his (,Hn,!i,!s\cve

THE COMBAT WITH SUPERSTITION.
'Die crash of the Mancliu dynasty, the shearing of the queue
and the ban upon opium are milestones of progress in recent
Chinese history, but China’s progress promises to be carried
forward even more rapidly over the miles of new railroad that
are now planned.
'l’lie proposed addition of 2,000 miles of tracks penetrating
i emote and virgin districts brings forcibly to attention the won
derful revolution that has taken place in this great section of
the globe in the past few years.
A little more than forty years ago the first railroad was
built in China, but it was torn up within a year, and the equip
ment was carried by the indignant government to the Island of
Formosa, there to rust in a disgraced heap.
Tin* line, twelve miles long, was built from Shanghai to
W unsung, the Europeans back of the enterprise, unable to get
permission to build a steam railroad, having gone ahead by rep
reseiiting they were planning a horse line. The tracks were laid
and the parts of the locomotive were smuggled in ami put to
got her secretly.
When the locomotive first appeared there was a terrible
stunn of opposition inspired by superstitious fear and by indig
nation over the promoters’ trickery. The people in fanatical
demonstrations went so far as to throw themselves beneath the
wheels to be* killed by the intruding monster.
After (Ireat Britain had negotiated with the outraged gov
ernment China agreed to pay the builders a fancy sum for the
railroad, but they insisted that the railroad be operated for a
vear, hoping that tin* people might become accustomed to it.
But when the year was up the government tore up the tracks
and removed every vestige of the equipment to faraway For

Pen Mightier
Than the
Sword.
By BREEN.
The most powerful
pen is the advertising
pen.
Publicity, like elec
tricity, is yet in its in
fancy. None knows the
limits of either.
But it is patent to all
that newspaper advertis
ing is the foundation of
all publicity.
Now, listen. There
isn’t a successful business
man in the country who,
when cornered, will
not confess that a great
measure of his success is
due to advertising.
Be a success. Adver
tise.
Advertising
An Aid to
Education.
By BREEN.
Read the ads. They’ll
help in your education.
There was a time when
ads. were glimpsed. To
day they are read care
fully. An ad. carries
information. Information
is educational. When a
man advertises he seeks
to enlighten.
Women today read
department store ads.
more carefully than they
do the society news.
That is a strong state
ment. But it is true
nevertheless.
And the men seek
bargains in the newspa
per ad. columns. Read
and be enlightened. |
