WHY THE SILENCEc

Although the Workers Cores

Ter each day and contains news
of the workers and poor farmers
struggles from most of the impor-
tant industrial and agricultural
sections of the United States,
there are yet many sections of the
country that we hear very little
from.
Very little workers correspondence
has come in in the last month from
North and South Carolina. The con-
ditions of the textile and tobacco
workers and the poor farmers in
these two states are most appalling
Jim Crowism is rampant there and
starvation on account of unemploy-
ment is common among the work
ing masses. We'd like to hear from
the Carolina tobacco and textile
workers and poor farmers.
Delaware, Alabama, Tennessee,
Arkansas, S. Dakota. Main, Missouri
and Montana, have also been very

ReyOnd the Sunset

The last obituaries have all been
written, now, and the last funeral
orations and telegraphed tributes
have been read and digested. But
the race that Thomas Edison served
will remember for long, long time
for as long, perhaps, as it remembers
Edison himself-that final, surprising
little remark that came from his
deathbed: 1T is very beautiful Ove~
there"
Will there ever be a biography OF
the man that does not contain that
quotation? Probably not; for It rep
resents one of those strange hints
that are tossed out to us now and
then-those strange hints that a dy-
ing man can, on occasion, peer
through the veil, see what lies be-
yond, and, seeing, be dazzled by the
fulfillment of half-trusted dream.
Now the interpretations of 1t, OF
course, will vary. There will be p]en.
ty of people to assure us that the
dying man was simply suffering from
a delirium. In time, probably, some
biographer will insist that the ce.
mark was never actually made. There
is no surer way of arousing contra
diction than to imply that visible
reality is only shadow to cloak
something infinitely more profound
that lies beyond it.
But there will be others who will
not look at it that way The world,
after all, is not so idyllic place that
mankind in general is content to ses
in death only the stopping of wcrn-
out machine. We have not yet out
grown the desire to pass beyond the
sunset Edison, at the point Of death,
looked into the sky and saw soma-
thing beautiful; must we assume that
fever was playing tricks with his
brain-that brain which was never
tricked before?
We can take it as we wish. These
to whom disbelief is precious will
look at it in one way, and those who
feel otherwise will look at It in an
other Only one thing is certain. II
will be remembered for centuries.
For that, when you come dowr to
it, is the way the human heart Is
made. 1t questions, doubts and re-
jects-and then, at the last, clutches
at chance to believe. Edison, the
solver of mysteries, the worker Of
miracles, dropped at his death a re-
mark to focus the attention. of his
fellows on the greatest and Oldest
mystery of all.
And he himself, now, has solved 1t.

The Retreat From Chicago

The Retreat from CnlcagO
Just as Napoleon's retreat from
Moscow is famous in history, so may
the retreat of the gangsters from
Chicago be the beginning of a new
era for that great city-and there are
signs that the retreat is on.
The case of Philip D'Andrea, body
guard of the notorious "Scarface" Al
Capone, offers cause to hope that 1t
is in progress. The hope exists, not
because D'Andrea is in jail, for the
denizens of the underworld have been
there before.
It exists because of D'Andrea's de-
meanor in the courtroom OF Federal
Judge James H. Wilkerson Tuesday
when he appeared for hearing on
contempt of court charge. D'Andrea
it will be remembered, is the man
who was arrested for carrying a gun
into the court room during Capones
income tax trial.
In the last few years in Chicago
there has been a great deal of fix
ing" in the courts Just where and
how it has been done is difficult TO
prove, but that there has been collu-
sion between the gangs and men ln
high places cannot be doubted. A
few trails have been uncovered which
had they been pursued vigorously
might have led to some individuals
whose identity would shock and sur
prise the nation. AS result many
gangsters have gone free.
But D'Andrea, facing a judge O.
demonstrated integrity, threw him
self on the mercy of the court.
There can be no doubt that, In thi'
case, it was good policy to do SO, fo
D'Andrea would have been convicted
anyhow. But if the man takes TIN
rap for carrying a gun, he will b'
the first gangster who has done so il
Chicago for quite while. And hi
actions are a confession of his in
ability to do anything other than &C
cept the penalty which society metc
out to those who break its laws.
The general of Chicago's under
world forces sits in Jail cell. Whel
he will go to prison remains uncer
tain because of the technicalities q
law, but that he will get there even
tually seems certain. His days c
glory have passed. The "big shot
no longer rumbles with the same all
thority as of old.
His henchman and trusted frien
throws himself upon the mercy of tn
court; asks forgiveness from the GOV
ernment and the society which h
has wronged. The minions Of tt
Capone crew tremble lest the han
of an outraged public may next (

Yes, it looks like the retreat fro
Chicago has begun.
