ARE THEY ENTITLED TO
SYMPATHY
Tucson Starr

tucson Quar-
How encouraging it must be to
every draft dodger and communist to
see the sentiments being worked up in
behalf of Sacco and Vanzetti. Here
are two men, both admittedly draft
dodgers, men who fled the country to
escape fighting, who were convicted
OF murder five years ago, and only
within the last week sentenced to
death. For five years they have been
able to raise one legal barrier after
another to prevent the expiation of
their crime Utterly destitute of
financial means themselves money has
flowed to them for the purposes of
defending themselves. Most of it
has come from people and from
organizations, who have fought for
the recognition of Soviet Russia, and
from others who are now doing all
and the others who are now doing all
they can to oppose any kind of mill
tary training in this country, and still
from others who have by means, foul
and fair, attempted to gain control of
organized labor in this country.
Rarely have two men, accused and
convicted of crime, had the assistance
that these men have had.
How discouraging it must be to two
million former soldiers. How is it,
they ask, that two men, who fled the
draft, should have all of this aid?
Why is it that two men of foreign
birth, men who came to this country
to enjoy its liberties, who fled from
an opportunity to defend this coun-
try's liberties, should gain all this
fled like towards from an opportunity
to defend their country, now be ac-
corded all this protection and SYM
pathy? What justice is theirs in in
voking protection of the laws OF the
country which they were too cowardly
to defend? Why all this sympathy
for draft dodgers who have been con-
victed of brutal murder?
There is a serious lesson in all this,
which the people who are sympathiz-
ing with Sacco and Vanzetti always
overlook. They invoke every law,
every precedent, and all possible
sympathy to save these two men, yet
they overlook the fact that there
would be no laws, no justice, and no
sympathy permitted, if all the rest of
us took the same attitude and refused
to fight for our country in time of
need. Sacco and Vanzetti, despite
their draft dodging, are entitled to
justice-nothing more or less. But
the public should know that much of
this sympathy worked up for them
comes from sources that are renowned
for their sympathy for Soviet Russia
and from those who are opposed to
any form of military activity of pre-
paredness, save in Soviet Russia.
Sacco and Vanzetti are heroes to
them, because they fought the draft,
and have communist beliefs.
Are they then, in the minds of the
American people, entitled to any
sympathy.

Sir Harry Lauder declared the
Scotch were not tight. Al Jolson
offered the following to prove Sir
Harry wrong.
An auctioneer was stopped in the
middle of his speech by a young man
who came into the sales room on an
obviously important errand. The two
conferred for several minutes and
then the auctioneer, holding up his
hand for attention, said:
Ladies and gentlemen! A wallet
containing thousand dollars was
lost in this room yesterday. I have
just been told that there will be a
reward Of two hundred and fifty, for
anyone returning the same"
After short silence, a gentleman
with plaid tam-o-shanter was heard
to murmur: 1.-TWO hoonerd an fee.fty-

JUST WHITEWASH?

Judge Phelps Of Maricopa county has instructed
the grand jury Of that county to not only investi
gate the charges that the city of Phoenix is not
as pure as snow, but has branched out and de-
manded sitting of the state highway department
state insane asylum and other state institutions
Evidently some Of the dust kicked up by the legis
lative investigation committee has really reached
the ears of the law. If this sort of thing keeps
up and is really taken serious, it won't be long be-
fore all the profits will be knocked out of the po
litical game. So few people can live nowadays on
mere state salary.

ALL RIGHT; BUT

Comes now the pink silk step-in for the virile
American male. In cities throughout the country
there are being sold delicate underthings to en-
case the bodies of the grandsons of those hardy
pioneers who wore no underwear at all.
OF course, it's all right After all, is there any
logical reason why man shouldn't wear pink or
blue silk underwear if he wants to?
No. there isn't. And yet-well, in our minds
eye we can see the l1nobby knees, spindly calves
and sunbuInt neck Of Mr.. Average American
emerging from the sillxen folds of dainty orchid
chemise; and the effect is ludicrous.-Tucson

JUST DIFFERENT

According to the Miami Silver Belt.severaI sem
ators were approached for funds to secure votes
in the legislature to override veto. Odd, isn't
it, that some newspapers always get that angle
first but never know just who did it? An honest
man never looks for a crook, but crook knows it
is the easiest thing in the world to put an honest
man on the fire because he is not suspicious. They
have no conscientious scruples and the honest man
has He believes that men are naturally honest
and wants to help along. The unprincpaled fell
low has all the advantage over the honest fellow
The liar knows that an honest man will only swear
to what he believes to be the truth. The other
fellow has no limitations honor decency or other

MORAL COURAGE AND WARS

No one loves a coward No one wants to be
called coward. But, strange as it may seem, it
takes more moral courage to prevent fight than
to start one Gradually this fact is coming to light
among the civilized peoples of the world The
constructive brains of the present age against
the slogan of those with inferior ntellects whose
only thought is ''brawn," and because they can't
think, say: Lets fight"
Il takes brains and moral courage to prevent
wars.
The lack of which starts wars
The great men of American history were men
of moral courage, men who held no hope of monu-
ments or honors to come. In their time the popu-
lace gave them no acclaim and they were not well
thought Of because they could not Immediately
give each claimant paradise to live in.

Ugly rumors of bribery are in circu-
lation at Phoenix, some members of
the so-called minority saying they
were offered small sums to change
their attitude on certain legislation.
There may be nothing to it, and it
might be that money has been passed,
but some of the minority" members
have accepted money raised by op-
ponents of the highway bill to pay
their expenses to the last meeting Of
the lawmakers. That isn't bribery, of
course, but the ones who accepted the
money felt under obligation to stand
firm for what the donators desired.
