WOODROW WILSON BELONGS TO The AGES

Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson
belongs to the ages.
Speaking in the name of
the toiling masses of our
country, we offer our tribute

Labor's Cause in Mexico Is Riding
to Victory

The de la Huerta rebellion is about
done for. The armies of the Republic
under Obregon, backed by Labor, are
driving the last remnants of the rebel
forces into defeat and surrender. De
la Huerta must soon either take dive
into the Atlantic or take boat ride.
One of the greatest contributing fac
tors in the Obregon success is the solid
backing of the Mexican Federation of
Labor, which has stood for constitu-
tional government from the outset.
The American Federation of Labor
and the Pan-American Federation of
Labor have given every possible sup
port to the maintenance of constitu-
tional, democratic government. The

BIG BUSINESS
GIVES AID TO MUIR
DER0US THUG

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 9.--The state
pardon board has reduced the sem
tence of Fred A. Hurst from three
years TO one year and 10 months. This
will make his release possible next
July.
Hurst is a citizens alliance slugger.
In October, 1921, he assaulted j. M.
Guise, high school principal IN the
belief that Guise was John Klaus,
representative of the Typographical
union.
Every power that big business and
the citizens alliance could muster was
swung in behalf Of Hurst. Judge Cat
lin refused to give the thug a sus-
pended sentence, and that jurist was
defeated for reelection. County At
torney 0'Brien also refused 70 heark-
en- TO the voice Of law-defying big
business, and he narrowly escaped
defeat. Citizens alliance newspapers
abused police officials who insisted
that Hurst be prosecuted.
Since Hurst has been confined II
the state penitentiary he has served
as a trusty.

asking that body TO place upon the
ballot at the township election April
&, the question of maintaining super.
yised Fairgrounds for children In ao-
cordance with an act of the Legislature
approved June %, 1921,
The act provides that supervised
play may be had In any municipality
wanting IL by the payment Of a mill
tax levied upon all real estate. The
petitioners ask that the tax be placed
In Champaign at not less than mill
nor more than l-3 mills. Through
this percent II Is possible TO realize
over $1,000.
The plan Is endorsed by the Twin
City Federation of Labor, the Parent
Teachers Association. the United
Charities and other religious and civic
organizations in the city whose mem
bers are in a position TO realize the
need of such improved opportunities
for children.
If this project Is put over by a vote
of Champaign people IL means that
Union Labor will have TO give the
plan it's united support at the polls
on April 3, should the petitions be
found to contain the necesasry num-
Der of names TO insure the question q

record of labor has been one of con-
sistent, united support of the cause of
democracy. Only handful of revolu-
tionary reds, playing any despieable
game to serve their own ends, has
marked break in the line. This hand
full, however, has been of small con-
sequence.
The wage earners of Mexico and of
the entire Western Hemisphere have
cause to rejoice in the progress of the
Mexican government forces That there

bandits, to be dealt with as such. The

"Some employees have failed to JOIN

Identity of the FIVE men who recently
held up and robbed the Commercial
Bank Of Champaign, no evidence
warranting the arrest of suspects has
been disclosed.
Sheriff Timm of Vermilion county,
who has been busy attempting to
solve the Catlin bank robbery which
occurred some time ago, has expressed
the opinion that both banks were
robbed by the same crew. He Is
working on this line in the hope of
eventually solving the mystery. In
Danville nine suspects have been held
for questioning in connection with the
catlin robbery. Five of these were
recently released.
