MONROVIA, Dec lin the second
contest OF the Suburban league the
Monrovia high schools basketball
tea mtoday defeated the heavier quin-

to 20. Although losing the first game
of the series to the Azusa squad, the
foOthill athletes showed all of their

had the visiting team outplayed at
nearly every stage of the game.
The contest was witnessed by the
largest crowd which ever has attended
a local game and much enthusiasm was
shown. The Monrovia team now has
an excellent chance to win the cham
pionship. Superior team work caused
the downfall of the husky Ell Monte
team. Boyd and Crandall, Monrovia's S
forwards, played spectacular games,
the former throwing ten field baskets,
some from difficult positions. Shepard
and Ainly at guards likewise were in

President Fillmore welcomed the
Hungarian fugitive as "The distin-
guished Hungarian patriot" and
the American congress Joined with
the American people in rendering
to him the homage due an apostle
of liberty. Kossuth found in
America the safety he sought In
America he was secure from the
clutch Of despotism.
Then liberty had not been for
gotten. Then the spirit Of inierna-
tional capitalism, international
greed, had not yet throttled the
spirit of liberty.
Christian Rudowitz and Jan
Pouern, offenders against Russia
just as Kossuth was an offender
against Hungaria, criminals just
as Jefferson, Franklin, Patrick
Henry and Nathan Hale we're Grim
inals, and seeking just as those
patriots sought, safe refuge from
the brutality of tyranny have
come to America. Have come to
America to be free, to live. And
from America are about to be re-
turned by an American court act
ing under the Russian law, to the
grasp of despotism. Are about to
be returned to fate more horrible
than the mind of American can
conceive. To fate that only Rus

Shall the hands of bloody, mer-
ciless Russia be allowed to reach

blind goddess drag their human

An AppealFor Justice
To The Russian
Patriots.
(Oontinued from PAGE one.l

Remember their alleged crimes
are purely political. They are
the crimes of patriots. Remem-
Der too, that in the treaty under
which extradition proceedings
are being taken this clause is
plain, perfectly clear and i'm
possible of misconstruction.
"If it be made to appear that ex
tradition is sought with view to
try to punish the person demanded
for an offence OF a political
character surrender shall not take
take place" Those are words Of
the treaty, the United States Rus
sian treaty made in 1898 And the
Russian authorities do not even de-
ny that they seek Rudowitz and
Pouren for political offenses and
political offences only. So under
the treaty they cannot be surren-
dered, but there is another way.
Mark we'll the way. Commissioner
Foote before whom extradition pro-
ceedings are being conducted has
declared that an this case aoe
must act under the Russian Laq0
rather than under the american.
Great Godl An American court,
dealing with fugitive patriots, must
act "Under the Russian law rather
than under the American" Must
invoke the law of the Gear, must
proceed under the law of tyrant.
That startling and infamous dec
laration of an American court ought
to ring like bell of alarm sounded
in the stiffness of night to every
American who loves liberty, who
honors the memory of the patriots
of 1916.
That damnable utterance of trea-
son to American traditions ought to
send a thrill of horror through the
heart of every man and woman who
believes that liberty is worth the
price paid by the fathers of the Re
public. 1t should call forth pro
test that would forever bar another
officer of American courts from ever
limiting at the substitution of foreign
law for our cwn.
When Louis Kossuth, Hungar-
ian revolutionist, patriot, condemn
ed by his native land for treason
for rebellion against tyranny, fed
to America for an asylum, in 1851
would his mother country have
dared demand that he be returned
to certain and drastic punishment?
Indeed no.
Would Austria Hungarian law
have been invoked by an American
court to return Kossuth to the

missouri is a state of many and varied
resources, but is first of all an agricultural
state. On Missouri farms are 2S2, $40
families. Yet, important as is agricul-
ture, there has until recently been conf
parat,vely no attention given to its study,
even i'll country schools. Too often is it
true that u country ioys and girls are
being educated from the farm instead Of
for it."
The foregoing is from a bulletin, "The

ture, aud which may be had free by ad.

ar;ly for those engaged in work in

plains that by the term rural schools"
is meant mot only the schools in ex-
trenlely rural districts, but also those in
villages ami small towns which draw
largely on the adjacent country for pupils
and financial support"
