"The Death of Ricardo Flores Magón," written by William C. Owen, a British anarchist and long-time editor of the English section of Regeneración. Published in the anarchist journal Freedom in December 1922.

"Ricardo Flores Magon is dead. Usually the news of a death affects me little, but in this case I feel differently. It is not because after long years of imprisonment and exile, this indomitable battler for Liberty has died in jail. Some larger sense than that of pity or personal bereavement possesses me. For reasons I cannot analyse, this death appears to me as summing up a period, and arouses thoughts and feelings I find it hard to put in words. I have the feeling that some force which was essential has ceased to operate."
