On This Day | Pushing Back Against the Government

“A few days ago Arthur LeSueur of St. Paul, claiming to be a legal counsel for the I. W. W. and former mayor of Minot, N. D., came to Governor Peter Norbeck with a request for a proclamation similar to the one which, he said, he had secured from the governor of North Dakota, in which the latter called upon all people of the state to abide by the laws and forbidding any officers of the state to search any individuals for arms unless they had first secured a search warrant for that purpose.”
— August 30, 1917 | The Ward County Independent
Why We Chose It
It was just two days ago in 1913 that this column first featured the IWW, and now here they are 4 years later still hanging around. And they’re still just as unpopular with local authorities… so much so that government over-reach in the form of illegal searches is highlighted. It goes to show, if you take positions that are unpopular with government and local authorities, best to keep your garden clear of weeds, lest they have cause to molest.
