The question, whether the second

that depends most decidedly upon the
attitude of the working class, which
alone is in position to avert war or,
in case it should break out, to convert
it into a civil war. The supreme

ON THE REMOVAL OF SACCO AND VANZETTI
TO CHARLESTOWN PRISON, JULY |, 1927.

What new and deeper infamy is this?
And still what hideous and oathsome power
above defenseless heads could stoop and hiss
Such vile command upon dismal hour.
To Charleston death-house, dark and comfortless,
They go to wait the striking of their doom
A place whose horrors we can hardly guess,
A dungeon hole of heavy air and gloom.
Vanzetti, knowing all the blacklist hell
Within such hearts, has said that this would be
A thing our widest breads did not foretell
With all the world demanding they be free
o Massachusetts! In our righteous scorn
Our eyes are turned upon you! Spare the worst
Set free these guiltless men, lest those unborn
Forever hold your name thing accursed!

II do not believe that conflict

concerning the retroactive application
of laws based on article II Of the
Mexican constitution has an inter.

Moreover. Mexico has the sover-

the sole judge, except concerning
limits imposed by treaties in force

Senior de la Barra hoped that the

wild boar the weight of which was
estimated at nearly 900 pounds was

After unsuccessfully stalking the
boar for two years, and in the end
having TO take to a tree to keep away
from the tusks CT the animal, Eagon
finally was able to bring 1t down with
a well directed shot.
The old boar's hide was so tough
that 1t was impossible to remove the
wiry bristles. The animal measured
about 8 feet inches and had tusks
nearly 10 inches long
The boar is believed by some to
have been a tame boar which strayed
away about 10 years ago and had
lived in the wooded marshes ever
since.
