There has been much comment, fav
orable and otherwise, upon recent leg
islation regarding criminal syndical
ism so called.
« Proponents of free speech denounc
ing such laws as a curtailment on the
rights of a liberty loving people while
others hail the passage of such acts
^»s a necessary measure for the sup
pression of bolshevism and radical
ism. There is undoubtedly a ten
dency in times of stress of popular
excitement to go to the extreme.
However, the recent conviction of a
man at Valdez on the charge of syn
dicalism upon competent evidence to
the effect that he had publicly stated
that he wished that he had been at
Centralia himself and had a chance
kill some of the - soldiers who
had gone to France and then return
ed to shoot down the working men,
was considered by the public at large
to be a just conviction and the public
expected that the sentence should be
commensurate with the crime. Inas
much as it took the jury only fifteen
minutes to arrive at a verdict of
^guilty, there could not have beeln
much doubt in the minds of the twelve
men of the guilt of the defendant.
The maximum penalty for such an of
fence is ten years in the federal pen
itentiary and a $5,000 fine. The dis
trict judge fined this man $500.00 and
turned him loose to continue his pro
poganda of lawlessness and treason.
Further comment is unnecessary.

It is said prohibition sentiment is
growing in Germany in spite of the
unrest. . Probably it is the thought of
prohibition which makes the average
German restless.
Raymond Fosdick, whom President
Wilson appointed to represent us as

says the league is a “going concern.”
It don’t know where it’s going, but
it’s on the way.
A
i COWARDLY KILLING
OF MEXICAN PRESIDENT
(Continued from Page One)
Alvaro Obregon became Carranza’s
leading general
The Villa generals met at Aguas
callentes in November, 1914, and in
alliance with the Zapata faction,
formed a Conventionist government.
The capital changed hand? several
times and was not finally taken by
General Obregon until the summer of
1915.
The beginning of the end of the Vil
la-Zapata party as a military power
followed swiftly the heavy defeats of
Villa by General Albaro Obregon.
Villa was forced to give up Torreon
and concentrate his dwindling forces
in Northern Chihuahua and Eastern
Sonora, making occassional forays and
raids which culminated in the at
tack on Columbus, N. M., that re
sulted in the invasion of Mexican
territory by General Pershing.
In the diplomatic exchanges that
ensued between President Wilson and
Carranza, who had been officially
recognized as the head of the de facto
government by the United States in
October. 1915, he insisted on the re
spect by the United States of Mexi
co’s sovereignty and the concession to
his government of reciprocal rights
of invasion. He maintained his posi
tion despite the crisis caused by the
clashes between Mexican and Ameri
can soldiers at Parral and Carrizal,
but when the war seemed unavoidable
Carranza succeeded in stemming the
the tide by his proposal for the ap
pointment of a joint commission to
settle the difficulties amicably. The
proposal -was accepted by President
Wilson and the deliheratinn« of the
commission resulted in the withdraw
al of the American army and the
restoration of friendly relations be
tween the two countries.
In the meantime Carranza had call
ed a Constitutional Congress which
accepted most of the reforms out
lined. On March 11, 1917, he was
elected President. More than 1,500,
000 votes were cast for him. He
took the oath of office May 1, 1917.
In a message to the Mexican Con
gress following his inauguaration as
president, Carranza declared Mexico’s
“strict” neutrality. His note to neu
tral nations, however, urging them to
declared embargoes against all the
European belligerents, as a means of
ending the war, and the warmth of
his language in congratulating Emper
or William on the occassion of his
last birthday, aroused comment in the
United States, as did also the publi
cation of the Zimmerman note, in
viting Mexico to take “by conquest”
the States of Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico in payment for a declaration
of war on the United States acting in
concert with Japan.
General Carranza was married and
formerly lived in Saltillo. One of his
daughters, Miss Virginia Carranza, be
came the wife of General Candido
Aguilar.
CORN STILL SLIDING
TO LOWER PRICES
CHICAGO, May 22 (by Associated
Press).—Corn was nervous and 2*&
to 3 y2 cents below yesterday’3 close,
but became steadier later.
Yeggs at Indianapolis robbed a gaso
line filling station of $2,000 and a lot
of people will doubtless think it is
poetic justice.
Perhaps the country is doing well as
could be expected with nobody home
at the White House but Tumulty and
Grayson.
