Violator OF Espionage Act.
(By the Associated Press.)


VioIator OF Espionage Act.
(By the Associated Press.)
Leavenworth. Kan, Nov. 22.-Rt-
cardo Flores Magon, alias The Scor-
! pion," who died in the federal peni-
Tertiary here yesterday. was one OF
the most widely known men convicted
under the espionage act He was
charged with melting revolution in
Mexico while the United States was
engaged in the World war.
Magon had a record of three terms
in various prisons. His last convic-
ton grew out of the publication in
Los Angeles in 1918 of alleged dis
loyal articles in Regeneration. news
paper owned by Magon and Librado
Rivera
The government alleged that the ar
ticles. which were printed in Spanish.
were calculated to prejudice the large
Mexican population of southern Cali
fornia against the prosecution of the
war by this country and to incite the
Mexicans to acts against this govern
ment. Several letters alleged to have
been written by widely known anar-
chists to the defendants were intro
duced in evidence.
Magon and Rivera were sentenced
to twenty and fifteen years resp ective-
~ in the federal penitentiary at Nc
NeiPs island. Washington. Magon was
transferred to the Leavenworth prison
November 3. 1919.
In 1912 Magon was convicted in the
United States district court at Los An
geles with Rivera and Enrique Magon,
a brother, for violation of the neutral
fly laws in inviting revolution against
the government of Mexico. They were
sentenced to twenty-three months inn
prisonment at McNeiPs island. The
sentencing was followed by rioting in
front of the federal building by sew
eral hundred Mexicans. 1t was quelled
only after many of the rioters had
been severely dubbed and several Of
ficers injured.
Ricardo MACON first received ma
tional publicity in the fall of 1905,
when the office of his propaganda
newspaper, then published in st.
Louis, was raided by the police.

Washburn ordinarily would be the

q question whether the WashbuDn

The ability of the St. Mary's crew to

Charging was clearly demonstrated
in. the Washburn-kansas State Nor
NAL game. --sW ashburn was handi-
capped in the second frame of that
contest by injuries. Probably one of
the real reasons for SO many in
juries was the fact that the Normal
eleven -outcharged the Ichabods- The
E-argiss men got the jump on the
Washburnites. and a man who hits
the hardest and who hits first stands
more chance of getting out without
injuries than the man who starts slow

1.-THE idea of getting the advantage of
him in the pay.
Speaking of poor craftsmanship and
school patriotism recalls painting of
campuses and other sort of vandalism.
This is almost eliminated from the
Kansas conference, but a few schools
still practice it.
Or rather a few individuals in GER
tain schools still practice it, Such
things seldom have the sanction of
any of the school officials or the stu
practiced this fall The Kansas uni
versity stadium was painted by persons
supposed to be from Washburn col
Iege. The Washburn campus was
painted by persons supposed to be
from Baker university.
1t is a certainty that the school Off
cials and the students in those schools
did not sanction these moves. This
was clearly evidenced by the state
ments made by Dwight T. Ream, di-
rector of athletics at Washburn, fol-
lowing the vandalism at LawI ence,
and the action of the student council.
The student council formally stated
that the action had no sanction of the
students of Washburn. and Dwight T.
Ream expressed the sentiment of the
football mentors and the players in q
public statement declaring it was not
patriotism. Members of the Washburn
faculty also publicly stated their dis
approval of such acts.
The Washburn student council sent
signed statement to the director of
athletics at Lawrence regretting that
such a thing occurred.
washburn college student council
row has received a statement from
the Baker university student council
expressing regret that the Washburn
campus was painted prior to the
Washburn-B Baker game.
Generally these acts of vandalism
are committed by persons in the
school who never support the school
in its athletics: who are not in the
college for what they can get out of
an educational institution. but are
there to kill time and, as they express
it, Ito have good time"
ITO have a good time!"
That seems to have become a mania
1eges today. Many are not in school
for the training that a college or
university offers, but are there for
sundry reasons, most of them per-
sonal.
Sterling and Mcpherson should play
a close game tomorrow. with the edge
favoring neither eleven. Mcpherson
would have been the pick by most or
the fans before the Sterling eleven
started its winning streak, but now
it is different. Many still think the
Bulldogs should win from the Presby-
terians, while some believe the Pres
byterians have the punch to put over
the most points. 1t should be a great
game.
Many who saw the McPherson-St.
Mary's game declare that the Bull
dogs eleven is the best they have seen

be put to a pretty severe test of its
in the Thursday clash in
Sterling, in our opinion.

The following resolution was adopt

here assembled are desirous of or
ganizing public opinion in such a
way as to make it compelling force
in the reducing of State expenditures
and to this end we wish our repre-
sentatives and senators to be elected
at Freeman's Meeting in November
next, to insist on the strictest econ
ony in the administration of every
State department That they support
and expend their best efforts in be-
half of the policy of retrenchment
and efficiency, as applied to State
affairs, during the unprecedented
period of transition and readjust-
ment. That economics rather than
sentiment shall govern their action on
any and all appropriations of State
funds, either for general or specific
purposes, that by general scaling
of State expenses, the necessity of
direct State taxes be done away
with"
Considerable discussion on the ad-
visibility Of disposing of the Town
Farm held the attention of the meet

Article 18, which asked the voters to
appropriate a sum of money for a
tablet containing the names
If the 236 Civil War veterans, tob be |
placed on the boulder in the Brad
'ord Memorial Park before Decoration
Day, was not approved by the voters.
This fact was due no doubt to the
natter being one of the last to come
before the meeting, as many who
we're in favor of having this tablet
erected were compelled by the late
hess of the hour to retire from the
lall before the article was consider
ID. When the vote was taken those
n favor of dismissing the article ap-
,eared to be in the majority, and it
vas so decided by the Moderator. 1t
las been intimated that inasmuch as
he expense cannot now be borne by

The annual meeting of the voters
of the Town of Bradford was held at
the Town House on Tuesday, and
passed off without any extraordinary
excitement. Rev. DIR. Frost was elect
ed Moderator, and Harvey w Eaton,

as follows: Town 75c, Red Cross

was voted for permanent highways,
and $500 for resurfacing. 1t was
also voted to appropriate $4,000 for
Memorial Day.
Article IA in the warning, viz: ''To
see If the town will vote the sum of
One Thousand dollars (S100000) per
year to support a Red Cross Nurse"
was no doubt responsible in a large
measure for the large attendance at

raised to the adoption of this article,
owing to the discovery of law en-

SIGNS OF SPRING-AT LAST.

Yes, that which most of us have
been patiently waiting for since last
November, has at last made it ap'
pearance-the first sign of Spring
1t has been long tedious wait, but
we reckon it is appreciated all the
more. We all felt sure the heavy
rain of Tuesday night would Start
Something, and it did. The news
reached the village early Wednesday
morning that Waits River had
broken up." In a very short time
the great volume of water made the
road at Cassville impossible, there be-
ing between three and four feet of
water over the road at that place.
The slight drop in the temperature
of Wednesday and Thursday offered
a considerable check to the rising
water, and will probably be of great
assistance in 'letting US down easy"
on our annual spring flood. Although
the Connecticut has not yet given
much intimation of showing us what
she can do this year, it is expected
that there will be something doing
in the water line from that source
before many days. Here's hoping she
makes it snappy.
