Gov. Fuller's Difficult Position.

That Gov. Fuller of Massachusetts,
Is going thoroughly into the Sacco.
Sanzetti case, now before him for
knal review, with the men condemned
10 die in a few days, is evidenced by
reports Of his recent activities. He
has been personally inspecting the
ground of the murders of which these
men have been convicted. With the
assistance of policemen, he has made
Measurements of the distances at the
ecene of the crime TO test the relis.-
bility OF testimony of "eye-witnesses"
given at the trial. Some of these wit
tesses testified to the identity OF the
two defendants as seen from the win
6ows of shoe factory in front of
which the paymaster and his guard
Gere held up by a motor party and
shot to death. One of the objections
Of the defense counsel to that testi-
tnony was that nobody could possibly
have been identified in such circum-
stances. Another measurement was
taken TO determine the length of time
motor car could be seen from fac
tory windows going at certain speed.
Thus mathematics enters into the
equation of guilt or innocence. The
governor is evidently testing every
possible physical phase Of the case.
IT is alleged that there was much
false testimony at the trial; that the
men were first accused and then con-
vcted because of their known radical
tendencies and beliefs, and that they
were, in short, "railroaded" to the
death house. Probably in no other
case has the chief executive of a

Historic Campaign
OF Women Recalled

Speaking to the national convention
of Professional Women'S Clubs at Oak
land, Calf, Miss Lena Phillips of New
York, national president of the organ

federation planned to show the women
of other countries how to "break the
chains of thralldom which for four
centuries they had worn in obedience
to man." Just what she meant by
the "thralldom" women have 'worn
in obedience to man. Miss Phillips did
not state, but she certainly announced
a sort of declaration of indepen-
dence." which mere man will heed or

to resist mans thralldom then, and
the evidences are plentiful that the
outcome was not altogether wholesome
to man or women, or to society, or to
the state. Seneca, one of the greatest
of Roman writer's, tells us that in
ancient Rome there were women of
influence and standing who resisted
the "thralldom" of man, women "who
counted their ages not by years but
by the number or husbands they had
had, and women who resisted the
thralldom Of the marriage vow by
quitting their husbands on the slight
est pretext-love of change and dis
claiming all other reasons"
We all know what happened to
ancient Rome and it's splendid civiliza-
ton. Luxury. ease, immortality and a
loosening of all the most sacred social
ties followed quickly. and Rome fell
into the lowest forms of degradation
and became one of the weakest, as
she had been one Of the proudest and
greatest, nations of the earth.
