Some Other Fascista Movements.

The success of the Fascist has
caused the use of the word adopted
by Italy's black shirt militant re-
formers to spread beyond the Italian
borders. Movements with a purpose
foreign to that of the Fascimo and
which were born under entirely diff
ferent conditions have arisen in
many parts of the world, and their
promoters, to make them thoroughly
up to date, call themselves and their
followers Fascist.
A recent report from Moscow said
that certain evidence of opposition
to Soviet rule was a Fascista move
ment growing among the peasants of
Russia. In Poland group of youths
led by a girl which raided a Warsaw
newspaper office is described as a
Fascista band. From Bavaria comes
the report that Fascista army has
been formed and that it proposes to
carry on a war against the existing
Government. Apparently it is a
movement backed by anti-Semitics
and supported by reactionary and
monarchist influences. Mexico has
so-called Fascista organization
formed to combat radicalism and
Peru a band of men whose mission
is to fight strikes.
There is no reason for calling any
Of these manifestations of unrest or
dissatisfaction Fascista movements.
Any of the old names would apply
better. The Fascista movement was
peculiarly Italian. 1t was not forced
but grew naturally on the enthusiasm
which il aroused. It was successful
because it appealed to the Italian
people as a means demanded for the
correction of their political and eco
nomic evils. 1t takes more than a
label to make Fascista movement,
and every adventurer with few fol-
lowers intent on righting a fancied
wrong has not in him the making
Of Mussolini.

Save the Public's Money.

There is one job to which Congress,
whether in special session, regular
short session or a regular long ses-
sion, can always apply itself with
credit to its membership and with
profit to the country. 1t is the job
of saving the Ipublic's money.
The American people want lower
taxes. They want lower living costs.
They, cannot get lower taxes il
Congress throws away the public's
money, whether on pork barrel grabs
or anything else. They cannot get
lower living costs when excessive
taxes on industry and business must
go into the price of the necessaries
of life in burdensome amounts.
The Harding Administration has
shown that it knows how to save the
publics money; this is no time for
Congress to waste it. The American
people are proverbially good natured
about many of the weaknesses and
errors of their legislative representa-
tives. But the American people are
in no mood now to deal gently with
any Congress or any Government
agency that hits their pockets harder
than they are now hit by the public
spender and the tax collector. They
are not going to feel kindly toward
the Congress that does not cut their
tax bills.
Congress will be in no better busi-
ness through the session which opens
to-day and through the session which
will follow on the heels of this one
than to sit on the appropriations lid
and save the public's money.

Unjust Accusations.
Mistaken Conclusions Recalled by
the Uall-MiIls Case.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The
reading of the newspaper reports which
for a considerable time indicated that
the community and a number of the
reporters had solved the mystery of the
two murders at New Brunswick, n. j.,
at least to the writer's satisfaction, re-
calls two court trials in the last quarter
of century One of these arose lin
New Jersey. the other in Massachusetts.
IN one case the authorities and a large
portion of the public were in the wrong.
In the other case the authorities were
right and the public almost to a man
were In the wrong.
In the New Jersey case Chalkley lie

He was not convicted, but he was ruined
financially by the expense OF his trial.
which pointed to another man as the
probable murderer.
In the Massachusetts, case the public
decided that a claimant halling from
California was the true heir OF resi-
dent OF the town who had died some
time previously. leaving large estate.
The public did not want the statement
OF the California claimant questioned.
So convinced was It of the correctness OF
its emotions that the public proceeded to
hang the Judge in efiigy and to threaten
with death the lawyer representing the
estate. 1t was however. developed that
the Californian had read of the disap-
pearance in the West OF the real heir
many years before and had gathered
enough facts about the Massachusetts
environment TO convince the public be-
fore the trial came off, and this opinion
having once been formed 1t was clung
to with the usual devotion Of masses
to their opinions, and 1t is doubtful IL
even the final destruction of the claim
ants tale caused his supporters to ad-
nit that they were wrong.
Long ago Douglas Campbell, and
lately Edward w. Box. pointed out that
the office of prosecuting or district at
torney was unknown in England and
was derived by America from the Meth
erlands. The LIE Coney case and many
other cases in which innocent individ-
uals have been arrested and tried on
charges indicate that it might
have been WELL when we adopted the
Dutch Office of public prosecutor, if we
had also adopted the Dutch method of

cused and put to expense by the State
Such a provision would perhaps cause
the public to wait until it heard all the
facts possible to be known before reach
