Wait for the Trial. This Zs a government of laws not of men. The issue out in IdaLo is not whether the none owners or the mine workers have been in the right in the past, or whether trade unioni1m shall be maintained. It is simply whether three men accused of murder are "guilty" or "not guilty." Presideni Roosevelt made a serious blunder when he interfered on the very edge of this trial, but he may be trusted to see that fair play is given to these men in the courts. Mass meetings of lab: r at this time are equally a mistake and will do no good to the men accused. Every word of the testimony in the trial will be prioted and the jury will be the wor1(ld. If the accused e(n Ire not guilty they will go free and t guilty they must pay the penalty. 'hey have the right of appeal, no d ire not lacking in either money or riends.
