His main tasks were to censor local newspaper and publish the „To the arms!” magazine, in which he addressed mainly the current events. The poet was also performing other activities aiming at promotion of the ideas of the Legions, among others, by trying to convince the local elites to his ideology – mainly in the form of private letters.
