WARREN SENTENCE
Socialist Editor Says the President Was
Fair and Considers His Action a
Complete Vindication -His
Story of Case.
Washington. Feb. 3.—-President
Tart commuted the aentonc* of Fred
D. Warren, the Kansas Socialistic
editor, who was recently sentenced to
sit months’ imprisonment and $1.'00
fine for misuse of the malls, b.v strik
ing out the Imprisonment and reduc
ing the fine to $100, to be collected by
civil process only.
Warres Said Taft Was Fair.
Guard, Kaa., Feb. I .—"I consider
the President’s action a complete vin
dication for myself."
"Taft's action is the first exhibition
of political sense by the politicians
dealing with the question of socialism,"
Warren added. "I was prosecuted,
not because I had violated any federa ’
law, but because I was the editor of n
militant Socialist paper. These tactics
failed in Germany, they will fail in this
country. The policy af lying about
socialism and using the powers of gov
ernment to keep down agitation, n pol
icy inaugurated by Taft’s predecessor, j
is antiquated."
History of Case.
Fred D. Warren, editor of the social
istic Appeal to Reason, wps found
guilty in the United States Court at
Fort Scott, Kas., on Mqy 6, 1910, on n
charge of misusing the United States
mails. He sent out envelopes on which
was printed an offer of $1,000 reward
for the return of ex-Governor Taylor
of Kentucky to that state to answer a
charge of having killed Goebel.
Warren was sentenced to six months
in jail and was fined $1,500. He ap
pealed to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals at St. Paul and the
sentence was sustained, November 21.
The order of commitment to prison,
however, was held up by President
Taft until he commuted the sentence
today. Warren never was in jail, but

Stockholders of Mena's Canning and
Shipping Corporation Hold Annual
Election—Good Attendance and
Much Interest Shown
The annual meeting for the election
of the board of directors for the pres
ent year of the Shipping, Canning and
Manufacturing Association was held
at the office of Attorney T. A. Berke
bile last Friday afternoon. The meet
ing was presided over by A. L. Dur
ham, president, and a good majority
of the stock holders were present.
The selection of the Board of Directors
resulted in retaining all the members
of the old board except S. D. Allen,
who could not remain on the board be
cause his position as conductor on the
Kansas City Southern compels him to
he away from Mena a greater portion
of his time. In Mr. Allen’s pla :c C.
E. Davis, who recently located here
and purchased the Sleeper orchard
and farm north of Mena, was elected
to the board. The men who compose
the new Board of Directors are: C. E.
Davis, A. L. Durham, H. Z. Fowler,
George Sundcrman and R. R. St. John.
A committee composed of J. R.
May, J. M. Hawthorne and S. C. Rey
nolds was selected Friday to de
cide on what crops should be grown
by the members of the association.
This committee decided that the crops
should consist of the following:
Early potatoes. Bliss variety; Toma
toes, Stone variety; Cantelopes, netted
Rocky Ford; Sweet potatoes, Yellow
Yam or some equally yellow variety.

The Southwest Counties of Missouri
! Make Great Showing—Bureau of
Labor Statistics Issues Bulletin
Building for Exhibitions.
Jefferson City, Feb l.--At the r*
quest of Representative Charles W.
Fear of Jasper county the bureau of
labor statistics has prepared a special
bulletin on southwest Missouri, which
reveals that a quarter of the annual
productive wealth of the state comes
from the 22 counties situated below
Kansas City, with Greene county on
the east, Arkansas on the south and
Kansas on the west, and with Joplin,
Hedalla, Springfield, Carthage, Webb
City, Aurora, Nevada, Lamar, Butler,
Neosho, Mount Vernon, Clinton and
Uarrisonvllle as the chief concen
trating and shipping points. About a
fifth of the counties of Missouri, yet
nearly a quarter of the yearly surplus
wealth of the state comes from there.
Repeesentalivc Fear Intends to use
the Information furnished by J. C. A.
Hiller, labor commissioner, in exploit
ing that part of Missouri. He will in
troduce legislation to give publicity to
the advantages of the 22 counties t(j
capitalists, horticulturists, stock rais
ers, miners, manufacturers, farmers,
settlers and homescekers. The coun
ties are Barry, Bates, Benton, Cass.
Cedar, Christian, Hade, Greene.
Henry, Hickory, Jasper, Johnson,
Lawrence, McDonald, Newton, Pettis
Polk. St. Clair, Stone, Taney and
Vernon.
A bill pending in the house, Intro
duced by Representative Fear, calls
lor *10,000 to be used in the erection
of a state building at Joplin, in which
to maintain a permanent exhibition
of the products of farms, forests,
mines, streams, quarries and manu
factories. It is to form a part of the
annual Ozark Interstate exposition.
The ground on which the structure Is
to stand is given.
was ready to go at any time.
Warren's reason for publishing the
offer of reward for Taylor grew out of t he
kidnapping of Moyer, Haywood and
Pettibone of the Western Miners' Fed
eration from Colorado and taking them
to Idaho to stand trial on the charge
of murdering Governor Steunenberg.
They appealed to the supreme court,
asking whether they could be legally
held in Idaho, after being taken forci
bly and without process of law into
the jurisdiction of the Idaho courts.
The court decided they could. War
ren said that such decision legalized
his offer for the kidnapping of Taylor.
In an editorial explanatory of this
offer, Warren said:
“The Supreme Court of the United
States has held that kidnapping is a
perfectly legal method of taking an
accused man from one stats to another.
This decision was rendered in the now
famous Stoyer-H ay wood case, In wich
the defendants wore both Socialists
and workingmen. Will the Supreme
Court of the United States hold to this
same opinion if the defendant is a Re
publican and a capitalist!1 • • * The
Appeal to Reason has aosolutely no in
terest in the Taylor-Goebel feud of
Kentucky, but 1 want to unt it up to
the Supreme Court of the United States
to decide a case of kidnapping where
the victim is a Republican politician
and a personal friend of the President
of the United States."
Warren claimed that he took enve
lopes offering the reword on the out
side to the postmaster of Girard and
was toid that such printing was not in
violation ol the law. He was repre
sented at his trial by Clarence S. Dar
row of Chicago, who had obtained the
discharge of Moyer. Haywood and Pet
tibone in Idaho. Jacob I. Shepherd of
Fort Scott and L. C. Boyle of Kansas
City also assisted in the defense.
Harry Bone, United States Attorney
for Kansas, handled the prosecution.
The case was tried before Judge Pol
lock.
After the verdict a movement was
started among the Socialists of the
eountiy for a penny subscription to
pay his fine.
past three or four congre p, the low
'r house ha* been consistently against

It was noteworthy that throughout
‘he voting on the subsidy bill the In
surgents and member* of tho new
progressive Republican league voted
solidly with the Democrats to amend
the measure and at the last voted
igainst. the bill. The final vote on
mall subvention was tin for and 3»

Sending a Man to Coventry.
The expression "sending to Coven
try" had a military origin, according
to the London Chronicle. It arose, so
it is said, in the days of Charles I.,
when the inhabitants of Coventry
strongly objected to any intercourse
with the military quartered in tbelr
'own, and a woman known to speak to
a man In a scarlet coat was at once
(he subject of scandal. So rigid were
j i he natives that the soldier wns eon
i fined to ihe mess room for conversa
tion. Thus the term "sending a man
to Coventry" if yon wished to shut
him from society took root on the
English language.
