"A GHOST HAUNTING
HARDING AT WHITE HOUSE
by The Federated Pressl

Washington. The ghost Of Ricar-
do Flores Magon has appeared in front
of the White House, demanding of his
recent jailers that other friends Of free
dom still shut behind American prison
bars be set free before they perish.
Magon. still living, and racked by
disease in his cell at Leavenworth, was
no burden on the official conscience.
But when death a week ago committed
his 2l-years sentence for saying the
war was an evil thing, it released fore
es which brought embarrassment to the
White House gates.
Outraged by the crucifixion Of Ma
gon, Mrs. Elizabeth Glendower Evans,
Boston; Mrs. Nathalie B. ELS, BaIti-
more; Mrs. Marguerite Tucker, New
York. and Mary La Toilette Sucker,
Washington, appeared before the exec
utive mansion with banners which
read:
Ricardo Flores Magon. Political
Prisoner, Died for Freedom, Leaven-
worth. Prison, Nov. Fl, 1922"
"Mr. President, Another Political
Prisoner Released, Death is More Mer-
ciful Than the Administration, Magon
Died in Leavenworth, Other Political
Prisoners Are Dying From Consump-
ton"
"Mr. President, Charles W. Morse
Did Not Die in Jail. Harry M. Daugh-
erty Was His Attorney. Ricardo Flor
es Magon, Political Prisoner, Died in
Leavenworth. Attorney General Daugh-
etrv was his JaiIer.'
The only crime ever committed by
Magon was the writing of an anti-war
article for which he was given the max
imum sentence by the federal court of
the southern district of California. The
reason given for the failure to con-
slider this case was on the grounds that
Magon was not repentent-in other
words that he refused to renounce his
views.

PROPHECIES CAME TRUE


London. No one who stood among
the cheering crowds in London as the
Labor party gains were flashed in var
lous parts of the town could have
helped comparing the scene with that
of January, 1919, when the results of
the Khaki election, held in the last
days Of 1918, began to come in.
Then, every evil passion had been
reused by the Lloyd-Georgian-Coali-
ton policy of hate and reaction engen-
dered by the "knockout-bIow'; and
the cheers were reserved for the defeat
Of the very men who have now sailed
into parliament on large majorities-
men who were howled down in 1918
for saying that peace Of violence
would ruin Europe. hanging the kaiser
was an impossibility, and making Ger
many pay would destroy our trade and
create unemployment.
Well, all these prophecies have
come true, and the election returns
show that in many parts of the coun-
try the British people have come to
their senses. By far the greatest num-
Der of new seats gained goes to Labor,
which now has. 1872. And out Of the
winners are intellectuals who were par
ticularly reviled in 1918 as pacifists be-
cause they advocated constructive in
stead of destructive peace, men like
Ramsey Macdonald, Charles Roden
Buxton, Arthur Ponsonby, and Charles
Trevelyan.

BOOMERANG FOR
CONSPIRATORS OF GRIM
INAL PERSECUTION
(By Inc Federated Pressl

Charles Town, w. Va. - c. Frank
Keeney, district president of the United
Mine Workers of America, who won
change Of venue in the West Virgin
la treason trials, has asked for an in
junction against the. coal interests from
participating in his prosecution, or fur
nishing lawyers as special prosecu-
tors" against him. This application was.
denied.
Evidence showing the presence of
coal associations and coal companies
behind the prosecution of these cases..
which has been brot to light here.
Is sufficient to warrant the filing of
civil suits against five or six coal as
sociations and ~ Independent coal
corporations by Keeney, it is alleged.
In the trial of William Blizzard, last
spring, testimony was given by an of,
ficial of one coal association that his
organization had contributed at chat
time $4,000 for the prosecution of
Blizzard. The jury acquitted Blizzard,
and it is now probable that he will
file suit for damages against the coal
interests charging malicious prosecu-
ton by them.
Attorneys for the miners have decIin-.
ed to say whether Governor Morgan
of West Virginia will be included with
the defendants. He has appeared as
a.witness in two of the trials at Charles.
Town.
In his petition for an injunction,
Keeney alleged that over $4,000 has
been paid out by the coal interests. An
indirect sum Of twice this amount is
understood to have been expended,
while the preliminary expenses incident
to the preparation of the cases brings
the total to a sum placed at between
$4,000 and 100000.
He further charged that his prosecu-
ton is essentially private persecution,
and claimed that the coal associations
in their desire to drive his organization
from the state, and break up the I'm
tied Mine Workers entirely. have not
only contributed large sums of money
but stand ready to contribute addition
al sums. He pointed out that these
interests have advanced the money in
plevicus cases here even to the pay
ment Of the jurors fees.

THE WONDERFUL EFFICIENCY
OF CAPITALISTIC INITIATIVE
(Bx The Federated Pressl

Duluth. Mimi. Farmers in the
northwest will lose $40O,O0O,000 this
year as a result Of inefficient railroad
transportation. says Julius Barnes. pre-
sident Of the United States Chamber Of
Commerce.
This loss will cover only grain, and
when the potato crop is considered the
amount the farmers will lose is appaIl-
ing. Huge crops of potatoes, amount
ing to $25,000,OO0 are rotting in bins
and fields because cars to haul them
to markets are unavailable.
According to Mr.. Barnes. who has
had 30 years experience as a grain
exporter. there are 4,000,000,O00 bu-
shells Of grain in the west, the value
of which to the farmer in every mar
ket of the west is at least 10 cents a
bushel below a proper relation with
the European markets. This loss Of
10 cents per bushel means loss Of
S4OO,OOO,OOO to the grain raisers of
the west alone.
transportation men in Duluth and
Superior confirm Mr.. Barnes state
ment that millions Of bushels Of grain
and potatoes are rotting in the fields
of the west because they cannot be
moved,
Car shortages are being reported
from more than 100 points in Mime
