(From the:Fargo Courier-News) N HIS charge to the fed- eral jury at’ Bismarck which ‘sat in thé Brinton case, Judge Amidon made sonie .statements that should be pasted in-the hats of a considerable number of peo- ple who are so boisterous in their own patriotism that they seem to think it a payt of their patriotic duty to cast suspicion on others. Judge Amidon referred to the man- ner in which the charge of “stirring . up class against class” had been in- jected into’the case where it had no proper place. The portion of his charge is of general interest, because - it is such a stock argument. Because of its application in so many instances at this time, a portion of Judge Ami- don’s charge is reproduced as follows: “I have been on this earth quite a spell myself. I never have known of any great reform being carried through> where the - people whose established condition would be dis- turbed by the carrying out of the reform did not say that the people who were trying to bring about the reform were stirring up class against class. TS “That is an argument that I know to be at least 8,500 years old from my "knowledge of history, ‘and it is re- peated in every effort to change an -existing condition. The people who are benefited by an existing condition always say that the victims who suf- fer from it and want to change it are stirring up: class against class. That is the stock argument. If it «could prevail we never would get any change in any existing condition. The people who are emjoying the existing condition would enjoy it eternally be- cause the only way you can produce a change in any political or economic condition is for the people who suffer from that condition to say that the people who are inflicting the suffering are doing wrong and speak right out plainly on that subject. “All through the great agitation for the abolition of slavery it was claimed that the abolitionists were stirring up class against class. I have not, even standing to one side as I do, seen a single campaign .carried through that the argument has not been used in the 80 years that I have been upon earth with sufficient ma- ‘Choking.Off/‘a . : Wheelock, N.

Now any danged fool knows that this is a lie, made out of whole cloth. Anybody who has had any business experience whatsoever, if fiothing more than a school. trusteeship, knows that it can not be done—that Townley or any other man couldn’t get by with any of the League money without being called to account for it. You KNOW that through the board of directors, the secretary, the treasurer, the banks and other channels through which the money of an organization must pass, YOU CAN'T STEAL THE MONEY.
