HANGING URGED BY KAHN FOR ALL OF SEDITIOUS VOICE.
NEW YORK, March 24. Prompt hanging was the remedy proposed, by Representative Julius Kahn, of California, in an address here to-day, for those who raise "a seditious or traitorous voice." "We must make ah example of thesß people and do it quickly," he said. "The man in this country who denounces this war to-day, with his country in the war, has no business on American soil. The man who*refuses to contribute a dollar to buy Liberty bonds and support our boys in the army, in my humble judgment, is a traitor to our country. If my boy and your boy are willing to die for our country.^ and a man without a boy closes his pqeketbook and will not give, he should be whipped out of the country by the scourge of public opinion."
