dirty deed. This man who sat
upon the bench has the impudence
to present the public with mass
of comment wholly irrelevant.
quote from the learned gentle
mans report:
For instance, Professor Einstein,
the famous scientist, has joined the
army of those protesting against
the further imprisonment of Moo
ney and Billings. Unfortunately,
this good man and great scientist
knows as much about Mooney and
Billings and the case against each
as they know about Einstein's in
applicable theory of relatively?
So what? Guilty or not guilty?
How can it conceivably be any part
of the Honorable Matt Sullivan's
job to discuss Einstein's mathe-
MATES or motives?
From the Honorable One
A ND again from the honorable
n one:
"The I. w. w. in practically every
locality throughout the United
States contributed literally to the
defense fund Reds and radicals
of every shade made their contribu-
tons. Workers in Russia and the
United States likewise contributed
Anarchists, Socialists, Communists
and Syndicalists were in the list of
donors"
But guilty or not guilty? Since
when did it become a crime subject
to life imprisonment for worker
to win the support of his fellows in
his fight against injustice?
And just one more segment from
the report of Matt the mighty:
Mooney pleaders must be igno-
rant of the past life Of Mooney, his
record as dynamiter, his public and
private utteranceS in favor of an
archy and revolution, his publica-
ton of the Revolt, his connection
with Blast and the Blasters."
But, your honor, Mooney was not
tried for the expression of radical
opinion. He was not tried osten-
sibly on the charge that he was a
militant labor leader who believed
in direct action. He was sent to
Jail on the charge that he bombed
a parade in San Francisco on July
%. 1916.
How say you? Guilty or not guilty
as charged? Are you judge or her
ring tosser?

Governmental Dry Rot

WE persist in the illusionment
w that people are infatuated
with forms of government, but it is
practically impossible to interest
them in a new one, until, or unless
the old one has failed.
In nine cases out of ten old forms
of government fail, not because they
are unavoidable, but because they
have been infected with the dry rot
of laziness, indifference, or egotisn.
That dry rot may develop from
within, or it may be imported and
imposed from the outside.
Taxation without representation,
or redress goes far toward explain
ing what has happened all along the
line. Russia suffered from it at the
hands of the Romanoffs and Ger
many has been suffering from it at
the hands of the allies.
Victory on the battlefield lent it
plausibility in the latter case. but
statesmen should have realized hui
man nature could not, and would not
stand it beyond reasonable limits.

Leadership to Blame

MOST people assume that the
AVA struggle has been between
what we call liberal and reactionary
forces, and that while one kind of
dictatorship has emerged as the re-
suit of liberal triumph, another
has been brought about by success
full reactionaries.
Well, dictatorship means about
the same thing, regardless of the
flag it waves. and it takes about
the same thing to make people
like it.
Whether in misgoverned Russia,
impoverished Italy, or debt-ridden
Germany. there was lack of honest,
efficient leadership. Whether this
lack can be traced to corruption.
snobbery, or ignorance, it produced
the same results-poverty, demoran-
cation, hopelessness.

A Fanatic in a Panic
Dr. Colvin's Frenzied Insults to Women

The panic to which dry fanatics driven by the

Women Organization for National Prohibition Reform
Dr. colvn, in broadcast, described these women
"Bacchantian maidens parching for wine.''
He added that these wet women like the drunards their
program would produce would take pennies off the eyes Of
the dead for the sake Of egang BOOZE and that they have
been deprivng the poor and unemployed Of money which
should have gone to them"
One of these Bacchantian maidens Mrs. Charles H.

unemployment relief in New York city.
She has demanded apology from Dr. Covn for his in

Thus far she has not received it.

of his remarks And there the matter stands at this writing

Around the table the family

before the father. On the plate

And Governor Ritchie

hundreds of millions of dol
lars through governmental

course might do irreparable
harm to our whole economic
system in years to come" )"
And then he submits a
thought worth pondering:
when the Government
throws its resources behind
one group of citizens, it in
evitably handicaps other
groups Of citizens who are
in the same field of activity.
Then as an almost inevitable
next step come discrimina-
tions and political favoritism
in doing out the Govern
menC a1u.
It calls for extraordinary
temerity for Mr.. Hoover to
oppose a prosperity loan to
put men to work and restore
purchasing power on the
ground that it is unprece-
dented, when he has done,
and proposed, more unprece-
dented things than any other
President in our entire his
tory. And none of these have
put one bite in one hungry
mouth or given one job to
one jobless man.

Our Social System
Is at Stake

Is at stake
And there is no possible
way to do that except
through Government works,
Private industry cannot be
criticised for not giving men
jobs. They cannot furnish
jobs unless there is work to
do; and there will be no
work to do so long as we go
on increasing the number of
people with no power to buy.
This is not the view of soap
box agitators; or reds, or
pinks; but the view of hard
headed business men who
have been driven to it by the
stern and OmlnouS realities.
Let Congress act!
And let it act with a full
realization that we are en-
gagged in a war - the most
threatening war in which we
ever have engaged. Ameri-
can institutions are at stake.
Confidence of the masses in
the justice of their Govern
ment is at stake. Our very
