Show PRISON FOR MRS. O'HARE. Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare will serve five years in prison for making too free use of her tongue. Among the dainty geuis of thought which fell from the lips of this woman was the assertion that "mothers who raised their sons to be cannon fodder w'ere no better than a farmer's brood sow." Another choice morsel w-as her remark that "young men who are foolish enough to enlist or volunteer are only good enough for German fertilizer." These expressions and a few more like them caused the arrest of Mrs O'Hare in North Dakota, whither she had gone from St. Louis under the mistaken notion that the people peo-ple of that section of the country were disloyal at heart and that she could induce in-duce them to resist the conscription law. Now that it is too late to save her from the penitentiary she knows better, but we suppose she will pose as a martyr after she serves her time. But she will get precious little sympathy from the mothers who have boys at the front or from the young men who have responded respond-ed to the president's call for patriots to defend the flag. Not being patriotic, Mrs. O'Hare has nothing in common with such mothers and sons. Open the door for the lady to pass into prison. |
