PENNSYLVANIA state troopers
dubbed gassed and rode down 1900
striking miners and their wives and
children when they broke up a Sacco-
Vanzetti protest meeting at Cheswick
on August 22nd. Over 200 people
were seriously injured. Some of them
still are in danger of death.
The meeting was taking place peace
fully in an orchard several hundred
yards from the main highway when
the police appeared, surrounded the
crowds and attacked.
Later in the day, a state trooper
beat up man on public highway
near the scene of the attack and it is
claimed that this man drew a pistol
and killed the state trooper.
The capitalist press ignored the
atrocious assaults of the policemen on
the mine people-forgot to tell of
scores of bleeding and gas-poisoned
wome- and children screaming for
mercy and not getting it-of inof-
fensive people bounded over the fields
and battered down brutally. The death
of the trooper was the only thing they
found worthy of note. They printed
that and ignored the rest.

now this suppression of the real
~ facts amounted to a deliberate lie
is proved by the following statements
of victims and eye-witnesses which
were taken down verbatum by a spe-
cial Investigator and which are being
made into affidavits to be kept on
file for whoever wishes to use them.
Mrs. Mary Gates, a grandmother,
whose menfolks have always worked
in the mines, and who lives at Har-
marville, Pennsylvania, said:

OUTSIDE of the fact that both
" countries are building battleships
against each other and that the
preachers and statesmen of the two
empires are talking peace in the same
language, there is reason for the be-
lief that peace between the United
States and England will degenerate
into permanent condition. Such a
close friend of John (dime) Rookie
teller as Arthur might have heard
about the lively scrimmage that is
going on between the British and
American oil companies. Great powers
have gone to war for less reason.
What we would like to know is what
does the United States want the big
gest navy in the world for, unless
to battle for naval supremacy with
Great Britain?

GENERAL corporations have given
= their approval to the proposal to
place our year on thirteen month
basis instead of twelve, and to switch
Sunday to Monday. AS far as we
are concerned they can do as they
please with their capitalist year, tho
we doubt if the section of the popula-
ton that observe the lords day on
Saturday will be as pleased. And it
will be hard for a devout catholic to
convince himself that he would lose

reduction in wages we would be more

PRINCESS Helen of Roumania who
fell from the good graces of crown
prince Carol, the hayward son of
queen Marie, will devote the rest Of
her life to the reclamation of fallen
girls. Of course the princess is not
one of the fallen in the spiritual
sense. The form of prostitution
practised in upper class and royal
circles has the sanction of church and
state, whereas a love union that does
not pay toll to priest or parson is
cursed with bell, book and by candle
light. And should you wonder what
Mr.. Rockefeller does with his surplus
cash, you are welcome to the news
that John encouraged the princess to
establish a school for nurses in
Bucharest. Praise the new god Oil

OUR wise contemporary, Arthur

why the United States and England

WASHINGTON a.
LETTER SKI

WASHINGTON-senator Borah's pre-.
diction that Governor AL Smith OF
New York would turn prohibitionist
if he were nominated for the presi-
dency serves to emphasize all over
again the confusion that continues tc
reign in the Democratic party.
1t must have been noted ere this that
three men conceded good chances for
the Democratic omnation-Smith
Senator Jim Reed and Governor Ritch-
lie of Maryland-are all vets and
that the only outstanding dry candi-
date, w. G. McAdoo, is generally con-
ceded to have lost strength
Yet, it will be admitted that the back
bone of the Democratic party, the
south and west, is dry.
And considering that fact, it does
seem little early to blot the cru
sading Mr.. McAdoo from the picture
without Offering someone else at least
equally as strong to stand as the hope
of the Democratic drys
The confusion within the party ranks
is only matched by the confusion of
the innocent bystander who observes
that there are some forty-odd creeds
in the party when 1928 is discussed and
that each faction insists that it's own
method is the only way to save the
party.
The only thing that seems most un-
likely at this time is that the party
will nominate wet candidate and ruin
him on a wet platform. Some of the
most astute politicians declare that
the party would promptly split into
two factions if any such course were
adopted.
Most political experts seem to think
that there will be a wet candidate on
a straddling platform and that the is-
sue will be soft-pedaled as effectual-
ly as possible. Hardly anyone but
Borah has gone so far as to suggest
that Smith will pose as a dry but
Borah' is no windbag given to talking
through his hat
There are numerous substantial
Democrats who will tell you that the
party is nearly all set to side track
both Smith and McAdoo and agree on
number of others who in
sist that the Smith -McAdoo fight is the
big thing before the party, that if
must be fought out if the party is to
live and that either Smith or McAdoo
could run from three to five million
votes ahead of the next best Democrat
who could be named. Still others either

More Truth Than Poetry
BRUTE INTELLIGENCE
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

I often thought the crocodile
Must find existence scarce worth while
He lies in swamp, morras or bog
Inactive as a floating log
He never stirs, he never bIinks
Apparently he never thinks
Through all his idle life endued
With dull innocuous desuetude,
How could there be a glimpse of bliss
In such a futile life as this?
And then l found that when he needs
To catch the frogs on which he feeds,
Or when he's feeling fresh and bright
And thinks he'd like to have a fight.
No shark that wins the deep blue sea
Can dart or lunge as fast as he.
He can indeed, when seeking for
His prey rush up upon the shore
And speedily pursue and fell
An unsuspecting bull gazelle
Which proves that he possesses an
immense
And quite unusual common sense.
When duty calls, he's at his best
AT other times he takes his rest

Smith.
The tremendous undercurrent caus-
ed by the religious issue cannot be ig-
nored, although one seldom hears of
it in public. Great numbers of Cath
olics will never believe that anything
but his religion, could keep Smith
from the nomination and some anti
Smith politicians declare privately
that if Smith is not nominated the
party will obtain hardly Catholic
vote. This latter type insists tina a
