DAUGHERTY DODGES
But REMAINS ACTIVE
IN HIS DIRTY WORK

Three weeks ago President Harding
offered tWenty-seven |. W. w. politl-
cal prisoners at LeayenwOrth a CON
ditionaP Communication. And yester-
day the account was balanced by
twenty-seyen |. w. w. being convicted

tratiye Of the manner reactionists in
control of the government are escap-
ing from the odium of direct perseeu-
ton of labor by the federal govern
ment, by means Of urging or permit
ting the various state governments
to take up the job of red batting"
Sick of wartime repression the
American people are Increasingly
angry at the federal government Tor
holding war time prisoners of opinion
five years after the war is ended; but
the people has, as yet, no clear I'M
derstanding that the forces of reac-
ton are deliberately turning the dirty
work over TO the states and helping
to create in each state where possible
a campaign for Suppression of the
reds.' to go along with the open shop
drive.
In California the case may not be
clear because all state officials are
willingly subseryient to the local in
terests in shipping and fruit growing.
But in the case of the Michigan COM
munist, trials for criminal syndical-
ism" the federal government is ac-
tually forcing the state officials to
prosecute, and is furnishing great
amount of funds from the federal
treasury in direct violation of law, to
convict Ruthenberg and the thirty
others who are due to be tried in the
Michigan courts. Labor should be
alive to the real danger from these
criminal syndicalism" laws, which fol-
lowed closely the national Espionage
Act; and it is false sense OF secur-
ity to imagine that reaction is on the
wane and to slacken in work or fin
ance for defense against those vicious
laws, so long as one workman, let
alone scores of able leaders of labor,
are in immediate danger of long sem
fences to state prisons. Labor ex-
poets, even demands, that every work
err do his or her share in the great
battle.

Vetoes State Loan Bill.

Madison, Wis.-Declaring that il
was a measure TO legalize usury
Governor Blaine has vetoed bill tc
permit loan agencies to charge in
terest at 3ls per cent a month.
The governor said the bill is pro-
NOTED "by the Russell Sage founda-
ton and powerful organization OF
millionaire loan agencies"
This bill has none of the elements
of charity, generosity, or protection
to the small borrower, while, on the
other hand, it legalizes usury--usury
to the extent of four times and more
than the lawful rate of interest,"" the
governor said.

Shall the people be allowed the
pleasure of carnivals in the Twin
Cities? The question appears to be
disturbing the minds of few who are
DESTROYS of avoiding the very appear
ance of evil.
Many who have not attended the
carnivals have decided that carnivals
are not fit for Twin City people to
attend. 1t is reported that gambling
devices were in operation at the re-
cent carnival andl that many INDUCED
in the schemes and left great deal
of money in the pockets of the trans
lent carnival clique.
For this reason it has been decreed
that the county shall have no more
features of entertainment. Twin City
people will hereafter be compelled to
attend the movies, picnic in the parks,
or follow other innocent and harm
less pleasures.
The recent carnival company proved
crafty enough to secure ground out
side the city limits of Champaign,
thereby making its attractions inn
mune from the interference of city
officers. They are not the only people.
Dance pavilions are being established
outside the city limits; road houses Of
questionable repute seek territory
where they will be unhampered by
officers and city ordinances, thus
throwing the responsibility upon
township or county authorities. 1t is
not improbable that Sunday moving
picture show may in the near future
be operated at the edge of Champaign
or Urbana. There appears to be al
ways a way to outwit the law, when
the law does not please a large per
cent of the people.
The trouble is we are governed too
much. We are treated as erring chill
dren to a multitude of "don'ts" in
things of minor consequence, until we
have come TO hold the entire law in
disrespect.

Women's 48-Hour Week Opposed.
Augusta, Me.-The 4S-hour law for
wage working women and children
will command the attention of Maine
organized labor. until next October,
as a result of declarations by the
annual convention of the Maine state
federation of labor.
The law will be voted on by the peo-
pie at special election. The pro-
posal first came before the legislature
as an initiated petition, signed by 12.-
600 legal voters, as provided by the
constitution.
Organized employers as usual, are
opposing the bill. The textile corpora
tons have raised the cry, southern
competition" as a defense for the
long-hour system, though friends of
the 48-hour week refer to stock divi-
dends by these mills as proof of their
excessive profits.

The enactment of new clause in
prohibitive Legislation is a signal for
a new method Of evading the law.
Where fishing laws become generally
prohibitive it becomes a sport to
evade the law and take chance of
coming in contact with game
warden.
In Indiana where people have been
taxed to fish for years they have
learned that game wardens are scarce,
and that the average Sunday sports
man stands approximately one chance
in a thousand of being arrested.
The law forbids seining or trap
ping, yet trapping and seining are
daily sports, not so much for catch
ing fish easily, but for sporting with
a statute that is looked upon as a
joke.
The advantage Of requiring a fish
ing license in the state of Illinois lies
in the fact that the meager returns
help to pay the salaries of a scatter
ing few game wardens who otherwise
would have to work for living
Many of our tax laws and special
assessments accomplish no more than
this.
The aim of fishing law is prob,
ably good The effect is virtually nil
People who would keep an eight inch
bass without prohibitive law will
keep one in violation of law. The
secret of being law abiding is Il
have the law written in ones heart
to be obedient by nature.
Now that the Illinois statutes re
quire a fishing license it will pay an!
fisherman to procure license. FIT.
cents is a small amount to pay TO
Sunday pastime. Instead of buying
a $3.50 bait for casting the sportsman
may make one for ten cents that viii
catch equally as many fish, and econo
mize in this way, instead of at tn,
expense of the state.

ABOUT THE SCHOOLS.
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
/ noticed in last Sundays Light
an article written by Parent"
Now that fhe school tax is separate
from the city tax proper, and the
school board is only using sixty cents
On the hundred out of the one dollar
per hundred allowed it, parent"
wants the school board to serve each
child and teacher in the public city
schools with one good meal every
day, at the real taxpayers expense.
Fine: would like to go "Parent" one
better, as the teachers will have
hard time making both ends meet
on salary of $50 per month, free
lunch counter should help them along
quite a lot.
As for the children, I think it is
not only tie real taxpayers duty to
pay for the education of the children
attending the public schools. but also
pay his share towards raising them.
and see to it that they get the proper
joy and amusement out of life.N
For this reason l would suggest
that the school board arrange with
the different theaters fer an absolute
and private performance for the teach
ers and city school children. say. every
Saturday afternoon, or, If possible.

also arrange for music and refresh

While it is possible that state officials
may have been deceived at the outset
by misleading information furnished
them as to the conditions existing here,
the comparative water-haul that has
been made by the rangers must have
convinced everybody by, this time that
the rangers were sent out on snlpe-
hunt. Erhey are not needed in San
Antonio, as the grand jury, made up OF
our best citizens, has already stated.
1 think possibly our local officials
have exercised the more prudent
course in tolerating this outrage upon
the community without any public out
cry, for a protest might have been mis-
construed by our prosecutors as oppo-
sition to the enforcement of the law.
No doubt the marplots, who put up
this job, figured ON just such a row,
in order that they might capitalize 1t
for political purposes in the election
next summer.
Perhaps we had better continue to
show forbearance and let these mar
plots wear themselves out, as they are
doing us no harm other than putting
us in a false light before the world.
The public is fast finding out the
truth, and old San Antonio and her
good people will ultimately triumph
over her enemies, as she has always
done heretofore. Old San Antonio is
all right, and she is too big and glori-
Gus to be put out of business BY any
small fry politicians.
In the meantime, how much longer
will we be expected to exercise the
virtues of prudence and patience in
the face of such pestiferous injustice
and annoyance?

BRING EN- UP RIGHT.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
It may sound strange to some, but
nevertheless il is true. There are lots
of parents of today that spoil their
children while they are young by hir.
ing them to do thing. Many will!
say, Johnnie and Mary, if you will
do a certain thing for me today and
do it good, I will give you ten, TWEEN
ty or fifty cents, lowing to what the
case may be.) And while it may be
true that Mary and Johnnie, no
doubt, will do the thing that they
were told to do, better, knowing that
they were to get pay for it, this is
no way to raise up child, because
it might not always be convenient
for the parents to have the little
ready change to give their children
to do the thing that they want them
to do and besides it will naturally
expect the extra pay all the time
and it would have a tendency after
it is grown to not want to do any
thing for their poor old father and
mother unless they got pay for it. 1t
is an old saying and I believe true
one that there is no child that can
ever repay its parents for their rails
ing, that is, if the parents are the
right kind and love their children as
they ought to. Fathers and mothers
that really love their children as they
should, whenever one of them gets
sick it will hurt them equally as bad
as the child, if not worse and its lit
tie moaning and grooming which are
caused by the awful misery and pain
it is enduring will go through the
parents like two edged sword. This
is what might be termed "a priceless
love that money cannot buy" When
ever one of my children were sick
could not eat or sleep until it got
better.
Children of today are allowed too
much privilege. For instance, We'll
say, if the father or mother are in a
conversation with some one, they will
come right up and take the CONVERSE
ton out of their mouth. That is very
wrong and impolite and it shows that
they have not been trained up prop
erly. When / was child we were
not allowed to open our mouths when
ever older people were talking.

did, especially when they needed it
and that / believed it would be
very good idea to give them a little
tanning occasionally whether they
needed it or not, just on general prin-
cipals and as a reminder of what they
might expect to get in case they did
do something for which they deserved
a whipping.
/ have heard some say that a child
at two years of age was too young
to begin to teach it right from wrong,
but my dear sir, don't you know that
child at only two years, either
girl or boy, has little sweetheart.
They have sol one they think just
a little bit more of than others and
1 believe that any one that is old
enough to have a sweetheart is old
enough to begin to teach what is
right and what is wrong. So
would advise that all fathers and
mothers begin to teach their children
at two years old what is right and
what is wrong so that they will grow
up to be better men and women.

children to wrath but bring them up

Campus Club Told Problem Must BE
Met by While City.

That the most vital problem before
the city of San Antonio is that of
flood prevention, and further, that i'm
mediate steps should be taken to. in
sure again a repetition of the disas-
trous flood of September, 1921, was
the substance of an address by Gerald

pus Club Friday noon at the Men
ger.
Mr.. Melliff compared San Antonio
and Bexar county to corporation.
CHASING every citizen in the city as
stakeholder, placing the capital stock
of this city at $2U0,OOO,00U, allowing
$1,000 investment per head. During
the flood, he declared, the actual loss
was about S10,00O,000, in addition TO
the loss of 81 stockholders.
That this has not only affected the
city in actual money but that it has
caused real estate in the FLOOD dis
trict" to depreciate, was pointed out
by the speaker.
The spea aer further declared that
immediate steps should be taken to
carry out the flood prevention pro-
gram outlined by expert engineers and
estimated to cost in the neighborhood
Of $5,000,000, which he declared a
paltry sum to protect a capital OF
$500, 100000.
In conclusion, Mr.-Melliff voiced his
disapproval of City Engineer Harri-
gan's plan to divide up the city and
the burden of the expense for carrying
out the prevention program, declaring
that the people on the hill and The
