A WORTHY TOOL OF
PROSECUTING PLUTOCRACY
(By The Federated Pressl


Boston. The state of Massachu-
setts used an ex-convict, horsethief,
perjurer and refugee from justice in
obtaining the death verdict against Nj
cola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti
last summer. Evidence Of this was fill
ed by Fred H. Moors, counsel for
defense, in the superior court of Nor
folk county in further support of the
motion for new trial, now pending.
The witness in question testified UNI
der the false name of Carlos E. Good
ridge. Like Louis Pelser, who since
confessed that his testimony was lie,
folk claimed TO identity" Sacco as on
the scene of the murders in South
Braintree. Mass. April IS, 1920.
1t now turns out that he is Erastus
C. Whitney, wanted by the authorities
of New York state on an Indictment
charging grand larceny; formerly an
inmate of Elmira reformatory and Au-
burn state prison in the same state;
reputed in his home town, Coshocton,
IN. Y, as a habitual criminal and bad
character; accused by those who know
him closest, including several Of his
many wives, Of forgery. thieving. adul-
terry. and congenital passion for fall
styling; and reckless perjurer ac-
cording to documentary evidence now
in the hands of the court.

The Right Use Of Words
IS Of Supreme Importance


The Martins had just returned from
the summer school at the Louisiana
State University at Baton Rouge, and
at the psychology meeting on Thurs
day night. July ~, Prof Martin gave
quite an interesting talk of their ex-
periences at the state capitol city.
Leading educators were in attendance
at the summer school and lectured up
on various new wrinkles in the teaching
game. According to Mr.. Martin, a new
spirit is abroad in the educational In
stitutions of the country and forward
looking educators aim to put life into
teaching and adapt it to the psyche
genesis Of young and Old The defects
of modern textbooks especially were
decried. it being declared in the case
of history, for instance, to be nothing
more than a bare catalogue Of events
devoid of all vital interest. He cited
as case in point that the successful
heroic defense by Leonidas and his
three hundred Spartans against half a
million Persian troops under XerxeS at
the narrow mountain pass of 1hermo-
phylae in ancient Greece was treated
in one Of these textbooks in a few lines
without any mention Of the human in
terest features of the fearless stand of
a mere handful of men against appar-
emily overwhelming odds. The lessons
of persistent dauntless daring that such
examples can teach were evidently en-
tilely overlooked by the textbook writ
+. And yet the useful application Of
all impaired information in our life
work is the only legitimate purpose
that education should specifically sub
serve. The mere information Of past
events without any significance bear
ing upon our own life here and now,
is so much dead lumber without any
useful value.
AS Professor Irwin Edman says in
Human Traits: Language has two
functions 3 3 Words not only repre-
sent logical relations; they provoke
emotional responses. They not only ex-
plicitly tell; they implicitly suggest.
They are not merely skeletons of thot;
they are clothed with emotional values.
They ar not, in consequence, transitive
vehicles of thought. Words should,
from the standpoint of communication,
be mere signals to action. which should
attract attention only insofar as they
are signals. They should be more re-
garded as things in themselves than is
the green lamp that signals locomo-
tive engineers to go ahead. They
should be as immediate signals to ac-
ton as, at a race, the Ready. set, go,
of the starter is to the runner. Yet this
rarely happens in the case Of words.
They frequently impede or mislead ac-
ton by arousing emotions lRRELE.-
Want TO THEIR INTELLECTUAL
SIGNIFICANCE. or provoke action on
the basis of emotional associations

AMERIcAN LABoR PARTY BoRN

| New York. The American Labor
party has been launched here at a
convention Of the New York Farmer
Labor party, the state Socialist organ-
ization. and trade unionists, represent
ing more than 100 labor unions with
an aggregate membership Of ESQ, 900.
plus the more than 100000 voters re-
presented BY the Socialist and Farmer
Labor parties here in the last election.
A state ticket for the coming cleo

and statement Of principles adopted,
and the first steps taken to create ID
America labor party which shall, if
the hopes Of its leaders are realized,

welded.
The attempt Of officials of the New
York Central Trades and Labor council
to prevent participation Of A. F. Of L.
unions in the convention, was ignored
by the unions whose officers had join
ed the original call. Many a. r, Of
L. unions participated through regu-
larly-elected delegates. One Of the
unions in the movement is Local IA.
Cigar Makers union. in which Samuel
Gompers, president. A. F. Of L, holds
a card.
In order to avoid handicaps which it
would otherwise encounter this year
under the New York election laws, the
party will function at the coming cleo

subject received some consideration.
It was declared that war between ma
tons would occur again and again as
long as domestic hostilities prevail in
each home country. The causes that
lead to domestic difficulties and dis
turbances will without fail lead to for
eign entanglements and difficulties.
Greed against home felix's will leap the
boundaries Of the home country srd
seek victims beyond its borders. The
gold standard and an exploiting finan-
cial system are the csmouflage under
which the exploiters operate; and as
long as this old monetary system is up
held and patronized so long will the
gold idol fool his irrational worshipers.
War will never be stopped by war.
Only the works of peace can bring
peace. The works Of peace are al
ways constructive; always helpful, al
ways beneficial. Overcome evil with
good. inculcates peaceful constructive
actions. Those who advocate war are
naturally in favor of all the evils that
war involves.
Constructive cooperation, the spirit
of mutual helpfuIness, observance of
the golden rule in all the affairs of life
are the onlv means that can put an end
to war. Peaceful, voluntary cooper
ative colonization inaugurates the reign
: Of peace and the golden age.

WAR MEMORIAL FUND

Sometime ago, the Dispatch News
called attention to the fact that DR..
Rice B. Harmon. Of Lexington. had
deposited the sum Of $500 with the
Bank Of Western Carolina and sim
liar amount with the Home National,
Bank. subject to the check og any
committee. or persons duly author
lied. fos the purpose Of erecting some
suitable memorial. or monument, on
the Court House Square to the mem
ory Of al, soldiers and sailors; from
Lexington County who lost their lives
in the service Of the United States
during the World War. The princi.i
pal sum deposited and the interest
thereon now amounts to s55.15.
We. thins this was very fife. ard
thoughtful act o,i the part ef Dr.
Harmon, and the Dispatch News
would be pleased to see this idea put,
in some concrete form. We are all
proud of the monument which now
graces the public square in memory.
of the soldiers who lost their lives
fighting for the cause Of the South
ern Confederacy; and it seems to US.
that the people of Lexington County
should join in this work of erecting
a suitable mark to the memory Of:
those valient sons of Lexington who
now sleep in the dust of their native
land, or who are still resting in the
peaceful fields OF France, and who
sacrificed their lives tina we might
I've in peace and security. Dr.
Harmon is to be commended for his
thoughtfulness and fine spirit in
'he:ng the first. citizen of the county
