The revolt plans, which included
the kidnapping of President Augustin
Justo, we're discovered through the
accidental explosion of bomb at
a private residence.
Police said the rebels had trans
formed the home into bomb lac
tory. Approximately 1900 bombs
were seized.
Irigoyen, 81 years old, is the Tor
mer "strong man" of Argentina. he
was oyerthrown by revolt in 1880
after governing as one OF the most
absolute rulers in South America.

two ex-presidents were among the
half hundred political, leaders
who. IT was reported, might be ban
ished to TERRA Del Fuego, the bleak
desolate territory at the southern
most tip of the continent. The
politicians were all members OF the
radical party.
The government decided to ask
congress today to authorize state
of siege.
National Democrats. holding a
parliamentary majority, assured
president Justo of their loyalty,
making it probable that the gov
eminent would be able to enact
whatever restrictive measures 1t de-
sired.
Planned Terror Reign
Although the government denied
that army officers we're associated
with the politicians arrested, a
police communique reproduced doc
uments allegedly found in the pos
session of Lieutenant Colonel Cat
taneo.
one of the documents outlined
the best way to carry out a reign
terror in Buenos Aires and kidnap
the president. Police charged that
the rebels planned to bomb police
attachments nearest the presidents
home.
Another document gave the list
Of the leading plotters in the
provinces. and explained how to
keep them informed Of progress oil

A third was signed civil chief OF

Death to Opponents
Death was threatened to persons
opposing the revolution, with sup
preston of newspapers not SUD
hitting to rebel censorship, the
police charged.
one of the papers found in the
bombed home contained q plan OF
the presidents residence, worked
out in minute detail, police said.
The rebels repeatedly were ms
structed to use hand grenades If
they met opposition in the prov
inces They planned to seize the
most important centers of the coun-

Bad for PrograSS

MODERN life makes it necessary
Iva to mobilize large numbers of
people for certain specific purposes.
Good as that may be in the interest
OF production, it is bad for human
nature and human progress. The
suppression of individual talent it
involves means an incalculable loss.
Meat and drink always have de-
manded given amount of routine
work. The introduction of ma
chinery has tended to increase it.
Instead of clarifying this aspect of
life, however, we ought to sense its
danger. Above all else, we ought
not to carry the idea it represents
into the field of education.
The bulk of the work people are
doing today is drab and SUPPLYING.
1t leaves little room for develop
ment of individual initiative, or in
dividual capacity. 1t has been re-
dUced to- a system which most any
nitwit can follow.
If education serves one purpose
more than another, it is to offset
the obviously dulling effect of such
condition.
The child needs more personal
attention than he ever did, to prepare
him for the blighting influence of
a career which, in nine out of ten
cases, will rob him of all oppor-
tunity for self-expression.
If he has not gained enough in
spiration in his early years to sus-
tain a self-conscious personality
later on, he is lost.

McNutt Makes Pledge

While Samuel insult, hiding in Greece from the
criminal courts Of Chicago appeals for an orderly
government to protect him from being kidnapped by
detectives and brought back to the land he
pillaged for trial. in this state. which still is insult
lana, definite pledge of freedom from his practices
is given.
Paul McNutt, the candidate for Governor,
pledges control Of public utilities that will prevent
the extortions practiced under the guidance of the
insult lobbyists.
The candidacy Of McNutt has become almost ex-
elusive His opponent has become the forgotten man
OF the Republican party. His name has been sub
merged in the efforts of Senator Watson to ac-
complsh his own election and a very definite cru
SADIE by the supporters of President Hoover to sub
ordinate the Watson campaign to the Hoover for
President clubs.
1t is fortunate for the voters, since they appar-
emily have but candidate that he has made very
definite promises for reform He made them before
his election was apparently to be so unanimous He
made them openly months ago.
One Of these pledges is that of rigid control of
utilities. That will mean more Immediately to the
ordinary citizen than change in federal govern
ment.
The utilities have written their own ticket in the
past. They have controlled the public service COM
mission. No member has been named to that body
in recent years who did not have the approval of the
utility politicians and that means Of both parties
Candidate McNutt promises house cleaning and
then change of laws that will abolish the holding
company fences that have hidden the in the past
Each citizen pays more for utilities than he does
for taxes. Candidate McNutt has placed his fingers
on the sore spot.

Nature in Rebellion

XXTE are not bringing children
w into the world to replenish
the supply of carpenters, plumbers,
lawyers, doctors and bond statesmen.
We are not reproducing the race
to be sure that our gigantic ma
chimes will have plenty of fodder.
Yet such thought seems to Turk
in the back of some of our best
minds, with their clanor for voca-
tional training and their insistence
on conformity.
To palpable extent, nature is in
rebellion against the type of arti-
fetal life organized industry is at
tempting to impose on her, not only
in the factory, but in the home and
the school.
To a palpable extent, the theory
of forcing people to conform to me-
chanical rules accounts for unrest
among us older folks and indiffer-
ent among children.
Popularity of sport in our schools
and colleges is a direct challenge to
the more serious side Of education.
Young people and children are turn
ing to games because it gives them
chance to express personality.
