Tt is most unfortunate 'Tf
 that the state supreme court in passing on criminal appeals Is limited 10 questions of law. The New York court Of appeals in such q case may inquire eX- haustivcly into the facts as well as pass on law points. and it may grant a new trial if con- vinced that the verdict of the lower court was not sustained by the weight Of evidence. No such broad review by the su- preme court exists in Massa- chusetts. Hence the shocking statement by our highest court in its latest decision in the Sacco- Vanzetti case: It Is not for us to determine what Is to be believed The lower court has q judicial monopoly Of that, before which even the supreme court must stand in awe"

Surely no technicalitics should be considered by any court at any time where the lives of men are in the balance. The governor and his council of Massachusetts should act in the only logical manner in this case. It would be an inerad- icable stain upon the fair escutch- con of the state If this case. sub merged in doubt and conflicting evidence, were not settled with due regard to the possibilities. All that is needed is a new trial, under new circumstances, under a different trial judge. with the new evidence duly weighed. The possibilities are now strong that the men would not be convicted. To execute them un- der the present circumstances would be moral injustice as we'll as legal wrongdoing.

SEVEN PROHIBITION FACTS
FOR PROHIBITION FIGHTERS
What Every Fighter in the Prohi-
bition Cause Should Know
and Tell
FOR TEACHERS
AND FOR ANNIVERSARY
SPEAKERS

|. That it is the duty Of every
citizen to observe the prohibition
laws and insist upon their enforce
ment
2. That it is the duty of public of
fcials to uphold the Constitution in
accordance with their full legal
powers and responsibilities.
3. That the results of prohibition
with saloons closed, drinking de-
creased, health improved, prosper
ity increased, child welfare prcmot-
ed and youth protected, constitute
the greatest contribution to the gen
eral welfare ever obtained by legis-
lation.
4. That in the test of seven years
there has been no reaction against
prohibition, but on the contrary,
Congress and legislatures support
prohibition as strongly as ever,
while both federal and local enforce
ment are increasingly determined
and effective.
5. That dissatisfaction with pro-
hibition is not the natural effect Of
defects in the dry law, but most of
it is artifcially caused by the great
est campaign of misleading propa-
ganda ever carried on to deceive
a people for selfish purpose.
E. That it is the deliberate, de-
termined purpose of the thoroughly
organized and adequately financed
liquor forces of the world to destroy
prohibition in the United States by
repeating enforcement laws, con-
trolling enforcement officials and in
fluencing public opinion against the
Eighteenth Amendment.
7. That the ultimate objective of
the fight against the liquor traffic is
not merely the decrease of drinking
with its resultant evils here and now
but it is the total suppression of
beverage alcohol for the benefit of
future generations.

SEVENTH PROHIBITION
ANNIVERSARY COMMENTS
The Present Wet and Dry Conflict
Is Seven Kinds of
Fight
SUGGESTIONS FOR SERMONS
AND FOR PROHIBITION
SLOGANS

|. 1t is a CHURCH fight. The
united efforts of organized Chris
tianity made constitutional prohibi-
ton possible. The failure of prohi-
bition would prove the liquor evil to
be stronger than the forces of Chris
tianity in America.
2. 1t is a GOVERNMENT fight.
With prohibition part of the con-
stitution, the strength of Our gov
eminent is being tried by the enc
mics of prohibition.
3. 1t is a LIQUOR fight. The
purpose of prohibition is to solve the
liquor problem. Fundamentally the
contest is not for or against prohibit
ton, but for or against intoxicating
liquor.
4. 1t is a WORLD fight. The
prohibition conflict in America will
largely determine the destruction or
domination of the liquor traffic in
the entire world.
S. 1t is a YOUTH fight. What
the young men and young women
of today think and do relative to
prohibition will decide the future of
prohibition in America and in the
world.
E. 1t is a CITY fight. If the liq-
uor forces can dominate the cities
they will rule America on the day
that the cities get the balance of
power in American government.
7. 1t is an EDUCATIONAL fight
The ultimate outcome of the war
against alcoholism depends upon a
knowledge, understanding and belief
of the physiological, social, political
and economic facts about alcohol.
The prohibition fight today is
war in which the liquor forces of the
world with their stupendous wealth
and enormous influence are trying
to perpetuate the liquor habit and
the liquor traffic by overthrowing
constitutional government and
crushing the church, by capturing
the cities and controlling youth
through appetite and deceit.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1927-01-01

and how prohibition can be Kept and inn
proved for the benefit of the men and
women of tomorrow. Every Sunday
school teacher should take minute or
five or ten to tell that alcohol is a poison,
that drinking leads to drunkenness, dis
ease, death.

IRISH SELF-RESPECT

committee has been organized in Washington, D.
c., to put on national campaign against ridicue of
the Irish in movies the stage Irish sensi
btes. it appears, have been deeply wounded lately
by picture portrayng two Irish families fighting for
position with frequent brawls and fist fights involving
and children
There have been other examples, in films plays and
vaudeville where the dignity of the Irish race has been
entirely overlooked.
That isn't ALL American movie and theater produc-
not the only offenders. There Sean OCasey,
Irish poet and dranatist whose plays frequently
"egged", whether produced in London, Dublin or
an American city. OCasey is intense realist. He
knows his Irish and he presents them with uncom
promising veracity that goes much too far to please
Irshmen in the audiences.
1t is easy to sympathize with the hurt and indignant
feelings of protesting Irshmen, and yet to feel that
they making mistake to fight for their dignity
in this particular way.
If art cannot portray any of the ridiculous things
of life along with the sublime things in worse
way artisticaly than had realized To censorship
of morals will be added censorship, and we
will have organizing to stop black face comed
ans, Scotchmen organizing to end the Scotch joke,
Jews organizing to get rid of Potash and Perlmutter
