Doubtless a loud outery of protest will be heard from the radicals both kere and abroad over the decision ren- dered Saturd: by Judge Thayer at Dedham, Mass., denying a new trial to Sacco and Vanzetti. Judge Thayer's ruling does not completely close the @oer to a rehearing of the case, far he has vet to pass upon a supplementary question relating to the presence in the jury room of certain bullets. But there is little likelihood, it would seem, of an order for a new trial on any ground on the present appeal. Doubt- less appeal will be taken to the state supreme court, and if unsuccessful there it may perhaps be carried high- er, if a ground for carrying the case to the Supreme Court of the United States can be found. An idea prevails in radical circles that clamor may sway judicial action. This very thought that vociferations and violent demonstrations may influ- ence the course of justice shows how fupdamentally wrong these people are regarding the question of government. Sacco and Vanzetti had a fair trial—as fair as any ever given in this country. The evidence against them was partly circumstantial and partly direct. The jury found them guilty. The judge now refuses to set aside that verdict because he feels that the twelve men who rendered it conscientiously be- lieved that the evidence proved guilt. It violent demonstrations of parti- sanship could sway juries or judges there would be an end of justice. To- day one of the most grievous evils from which this country suffers is that of lynching, the killing of people by mobs without process of law, execu- tions without trial and often without any evidence whatever. The outburst of angry protest against the convic- tion of Sacco and Vanzetti is another form of lynching, an attempt to acquit by mob sentiment. an effort to over- throw the court and to substitute for the jury the prejudice of partisans and friends. Of course, such efforts cannot avail. No American court can possibly afford to yield to noisy denunciation and criminal threats of violence. The radi- cals who condemn the conviction of Sacco and Vanzetti are, of course, in most instances merely using this case @s an excuse for their agitation and denunciation of law processes. These men are merely symbols of commu- nism. The court is a symbol of the hated system of orderly administra- tion. In this affair much is made by the radicals of the fact that Sacco and ‘Vanzetti were communists, and the claim is urged that they were convict- ed because of that fact and not be- cause of any real proofs of complicity in the murder. It would be the same in any criminal case in which a com- ‘munist was involved. If the protest of the radicals in this instance should be heeded it would be impossible to con- vict any member of a communist group save upon the most positive, overwhelming, direct evidence of guilt. There would then be one kind of law for the average person and another kind of law for the eccentric, the radi- cal, the enemy of society. And such & condition cannot be conceived for a moment. ————————— New York city reports a crime wave ‘'on Christmas eve. One of the causes of human perturbation is the wide divergence of opinion as to what con- stitutes enjoyment.

It experiments now being conducted @t one of the largest motor plants in this country are successful it will soon be necessary to drop the nickname— or rather one of the nicknames—of the popular and omnipresent product of those works, a name which has a - close association with the principal contents of the municipal dump heap. For an effort is now being made to produce a material out of cotton, glue and formaldehyde that, rolled in plas- tic sheets, can be stamped out into gorms and shapes to be used for the Pody of a machine. As one who has peen the process in its initial state ays, it will be possible to block out & fnotor car just like a cook cuts out gloughnuts. This is not an idle dream.

It is the boast of the modern indus- Qrial chemist that nothing is wasted. of the pig was used at the big pack- ing houses except the squeal. Now the ambition of the laboratory expert 15 to use even the squeal. But there is another phase of this great research which has wrought such marvels. ‘That is not merely to find & use for something heretofore wasted, but to find substitutes for materials that may be exhausted. As far as man knows there is a positive limit to the amount of fron ore. And as far as he knows there is no limit to the amount of cot- ton that can be grown. So if cotton can be turned into fron, or something Just as good as fron, a real conserva- tion of resources occurs. If motor cars can be made of cotton, why not houses? What a wonderful prospect for the cotton belt? Truly the king will come into his own again. If the pesky boll weevil can be con- quered those who have cotton lands may be the universal providers for mankind, clothing, housing, warming, transporting humanity. supplying all kinds of utensils and trifling articles of domestic use. There is one bright spot in this pros- pect of making motor cars out of cot- ton. They will be less likely to rattle! Gen. Crowder and Cuba. The State Department makes this announcement: Gen. Crowder, who has been acting as special representative of the Presi- dent in Cuba in connection with the discussion of financial reforms in that country, will come to Washington shortly for a briet conference with the State Department. Immediately after the conference he will return to Cuba, to remain there until the very difficult financial problems now con- fronting the Cuban government are satisfactorily solved. Gen. Crowder's services have been satisfactory to both countries. Invited to Cuba to advise as to election legisla- tion, he has remained to advise about financial reforme; and the fact that he is to return to the island after making a report to his home government sug- gests that his work is not yet com- pleted. ‘We are much interested in Cuba. We set her up in business for herself after putting things in order. Under Spanish rule disorder had prevailed for a long time. It was no easy mat- ter, therefore, to get matters into workable shape for a new venture in government in the island. It is to be said that, in the main, the Cubans have justified our con- fidence. Now and then they have tripped in the management of affairs, and more than once approached peril- ously close to failure. But they pulled themselves together in time, and have gone on very well. At present Cuba, like many other countries, is feeling the effects of the great war. Her people are restless and depressed. Some of her industries are out of plumb. But, as Gen. Crowder has made a study of the conditions, his advice about remedies will be valu- able; and to the extent that he serves Cuba he will also serve us. He seems to be the man for the emergency. America Carrying On. . Said Vice President Coolidge in a message to the American people is- sued yesterday: “Christmas is a day of rejoicing; New Year s a day of hope. If there are any who have cause to rejoice they are the American people. There are great burdens to be borne, but the power to bear them is greater still. There are thanks to be offered, both for what we have and what we are. There is a justifiable faith in the American people. They rise to emer- gencies, they meet their obligations, lhef go forward. The expression of thelr hope 18 not vain. it is warranted. ‘Whatever else has happened, Amer- ica has not failed.” This is the note that should be sounded by everybody in authority. It is the true note. “America has not failed.” Neither is she likely to fail. Her burdens are undeniably heavy. But she can, and will, carry on. She has carried heavy burdens before. She was heavily ‘weighted for years after the civil war. But no man of consequence in the country lost heart. Some of the poli- cies of reconstruction provoked sharp controversy. ‘At last, however, differ- ences were ironed out, and both par- ties contributed to the country’s pros- perity. Our plight, embarrassing as it is, is the common plight. What nation is not heavily burdened? We are better off than most. Our industries are either busy or ready for business. ‘When business revives we shall get our share, and press for a larger share than we have hitherto ever gotten. “It is a great game if we don't weaken.” And why weaken? As we have a reputation to sustain, and the means to sustain it, what is to prevent “a happy issue out of all our affic- tions”? ———————— Sovietists in Moscow cheered the American government. Hope is enter- tained that they will undertake the imitation which is described (in rather loose rhetoric) as the “‘sincerest flat- tery. ————at e It has been Henry Watterson's fate to be compared with & number of edi- tors about whom he possibly did not care during his lifetime. However, with all his aggressive mentality he was a bit of a philosopher. —————— 1If the little children had a genuinely merry Christmas there is no doubt about the enjoyment of the older peo- ple who were so fortunate as to be among those present. [ —— The submarine may at least boast that it is not at the moment as of- fensive a problem as it was during the wr. ‘Well Done. Congratulations of the country are due the postal service for the man- ner in which its members have handled the greatest number of Christ- ‘mas parcels in the history of the serv- ice. Reports to the Post Office Depart- ment indicate that between 10 and 20 per cent more parcels were received at the larger city post offices this Christmas than last, and that they were handled more efficiently than ever before. At the Washington city post office, perhaps of more immediate interest to ‘Washingtonians than any other, the mail flowed in and out evenly, only a slight delay being experienced at one time in the delivery of letter mall. ‘When the few instances of delay are contrasted with the thousands upon THE 'millions upon millions of letters which were delivered without a hitch the hearty thanks of the community must g0 to the officials, carriers and clerks of the office. So, too, the congratulations of this city must go to the officlals, carriers and clerks of the postal service throughout the entire country, to all the thousands of men aboard mall trains and at terminals whom the average person will never see.

Allowing for possible exaggeration in the retelling, the conditions that have overwhelmed a little mining settlement in Fayette county, W. are enough to form a question that is easy or hard to answer, as one views the sources of | the situation. i When a community, even one of only two tiou: d inhabitants, is supported by & single industry. there is an obli- gation which must be shared by the community and the industry. It is not enough to say that the mines were closed months ago. There should be an indisputable reason for such action. In the case of Minden taere is no such statement. It is said only that the mines were closed months ago. Since that time the five hundred men who support families have- exhausted all their resources. Today they are starv- ing at the crest of the season of Christan cheer and good will. If these men, 'and their dependent wives and children, have been de- prived of their employment the fault bility upon those who took away the employment. And the re- sponsibility, in the light of reports. is heavy But s0 complicated is our civilization, and so befuddled those processes which we call thinking, that the question of responsibility has no place in our consideration. Such a condition as that in West Virginia is indexed simply as “unfortunate.” And saying that we close our eyes, shut our ears and walk away.—Pittsburgh Leader (progressive republican). The New Preparedness. Bankers who have no taste for being entombed in their own vaults must be impressed with the necessity of having their vaults easily opened from within, however hard to budge from without. It has become the favorite device of the automobile bandits to leave the bank employes ilocked in the vault while making their escape. The automobile has so altered the conditions of warfare between society and its enemy, the highwayman, that further protective devices are re- quired. The highwayman of old had to depend on horses for his escape. The modern highwayman can be half a hundred miles from the scene of his operations by the time the bank cashier emerges from his vault and spreads the alarm. While pursuit is equally facilitated, the advantage of the start is greater, and the oppor- tunity to disappear in remote coun- try districts or in the fastnesses of neighboring cities is improved. The automobile has thus far increased the oftensive power of the highwayman more than it has increased the defen- sive power of society. There is no escaping the necesity which faces us of adopting a more aggressive course against our criminals. The present times and their lawless- ness are, of course, somewhat ab- normal; but in all times we have too little success in our efforts to make crime unprofitable. With some of the burden of military preparedness against foreigners lifted from our shoulders, we should have strength and energy for aditional defense against those who attack us from within—Nebraska State Journal (Lin- coln, independent.)
