LAST EDITORIAL
BY L|EBKNECHT
Posthumous Publication
Mourns the Death of
Spartacan Cause.

Berlin. March 2-Here is the last
editorial from the pen of DR.. Karl
LiebkneCht. written a few hours be
fore he was arrested and killed. Die
Rote Fahne. the Spartacist organ OF
which he was the directing genius,
has just published it.
"SpartaCus has succumbed. Yes
Spartacus is vanQuishcd. The revo-
lutionary proletariat is beaten.
Hundreds Of our best have been
slaughtered: hundreds of our most de-
voted ones have been thrown into
Jail.
Left in tho Lurch.
Yes. they were beaten beca use they
were left in the lurch by the soldiers
whom they relied most. and their
might has been paralyzed by the
weakness and indecisiou Of their
heads and leaders.
1--WE are beaten, hut some defeats
are victories. for some victories are
more bloody than the worst defeats.
Every drop or blood shed by our
brethren who died as martyrs will be
the seed of a future fighter in com
ing battles.

revolution each defeat spurs us 10
new action. and thus We turn defeats
into victories.
Nictors Seal Own Fate.
THE victors of today have fulfilled
their shameless deeds, in the name Of
a shameless cause whose fate they
now have scaled. For, in truth, they
are already the prisoners OF the same
element which they used as a weapon
against us.

MAN FOUND DEAD
At SOUTH ANBOY
Body Badly MangIed Found
Along Railroad Tracks

~ 5ROCAGb Wv CSNCftACINks
SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 19.-Wed-
nesday night about IL O'Clock the
body of Frank Mathis was found bad
ly mangled near the tracks of the
New York and Long Branch railroad
was called and upon finding that the
man had been dead some time mott
fed Coroner E. S. Mason after in
v~estigation the Coroner found that
the mar had bee hit with a railroad
train and had not met with foul play.
Permission was given to Frank Male
shuski to move the body to his home
in Mechanicsville.
1t is the opinion of the police that
the man was struck by the fast pro-
duce freight hat goes through this
city every night. The man was en-
ployed at the local Goa Bumper and
was probably on his way home from
work. The accident occurred at Sec
ond street where the New York and
Long Branch Company recently tore
down the foot bridge over the tracks.
1t is rather out of the way for the
men living in other sections of the
town to use out crossings n with
this in mind the City officials have
ordered the New York and Long
Branch railroad company to rebuild
the bridge.
Mathis was a young man about
twenty-five years of age n of Po-
lish origin. He just recently return
ed from France where he spent many
months fighting for Uncle Sam. The
funeral will be held from Sacred
Heart church probably tomorrow.

ials to arrive. But the persist ent and able management sue ceeded in making the farm com munity one of the most pleasant places to live in the country, while the systematic manage ment of the farm results in the production of big crops of rice and other products, bringing in revenue in sums that would stag ger many a big farmer from~the north and east.
 FOUR PUMPING PLANTS
 In all, there are four big pumping plants on the farm. and during the rice irrigation season they are operated day and night until the rice fields have been covered with water, and then they are kept in operation enough to maintain the mantel of water over the rice. The task of flooding 1. .000 acres of grow ing rice is a gigantic one and the capacity Of the pumps is some times taxed, as wRen the irriga- ton is first begun. the ground is dry and the rice is likely to dry cut and lessen it's productive power, unless it's thirst is quick ly alleyiated by a quick supply of water.
 HAS A MASTER BARN
 One of tie most imposing sights on tue big farm is the large double barn, which is sub divided into sections for the bet ter handling of the live stock. while large granaries with feed grinding mills occupy considera ble space Tbe floors of the barn are of cement and weed so ar ranged as to furnish perfect san itary drainage and there is'prac tically no Gdor of stock percepti- ble. This barn Is the largest in the country and excites the ad- miration of all visitors to the farm, while many progressive farmers have made special trips 10 the big farm in order to study the construction of the building and possibly pattern ,heir barns

 Don't let anyone get the idea in their head that on account of these sales Mr. Ducharme is go ing out or the rice business. He is just as much interested and has the same confidence in the future for rice growing in Ar. kansas as ever. We don't believe any kind of a deal can be made with J.

 We take the following extract from the Independent Booster Edition of July 25, 1918:
