We know, why bound to death they lie.” + +David P. Berenberg.+[1] + + +There in the newspapers on that morning of August ninth, 1927, was the +appeal from the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Committee to the “rank and file” +of artists, authors, teachers (including college professors) and other +kinds of professional men and women to come to headquarters in Boston. +How many of the rank and file of professors and authors like myself +would be there? For me, behind, lay seven years of a working friendship +with the Committee. + +That noon of August ninth on the shore of Lake Champlain a +budge-budge-not struggle went on for more than an hour. If I went, what +could I do? Would I not be merely one more person under foot? At such +moments were there not always many to go? Had I not--as had so many +others with more influence--done what I could over the seven long years +to help the Committee in its great work of educating the public to see +that the issue was justice to these two Italians, one a shoe worker, +the other a fish peddler! And now that the work seemed, one way or +another, really over, why go? + +But would there be many of my kind? Had not the report of President +Lowell, President Stratton and Judge Grant “sand-bagged” the +educational world? At least if I did go, there would be nothing left +undone to be regretted some day. And this was the ultimate and perhaps +the last thing any of us could do for them, for Sacco and Vanzetti were +to be executed some time after midnight on the tenth. + +On arrival in Boston the next morning, I found that a taxi taken +from any station, any public stand or any hotel brought a man up +to book your destination and the number of your taxi. Only from my +Club was this ceremony omitted. A traffic survey then under way in +Boston may or may not have been responsible for such a thirst to know +every destination. At least on that day in that city where once I +had prepared for college, while I dreamed about Emerson and Margaret +Fuller and met such great liberals as Colonel Higginson and Professor +John Fiske, it was impossible not to be amused at the anxiety my +destinations must, over some eighteen hours, have caused those booking +men employed by “protected” Boston, for I came and went steadily +morning, afternoon and night among the very places which were taboo +and under guard. It would also have been impossible not to have +enjoyed the Boston police on that day. They were such nice-looking, +well-dressed men who but gained in interest by the fact that so many of +them seemed frightened. The officers on guard at the door of Defense +Headquarters regarded me with a suspicious eye. + +Climbing the two flights of narrow stairs at 256 Hanover Street, +passing through a group of people too large for the narrow passageway +and the spare, bare outer office, I found myself in the midst of +“Headquarters.” On the walls was one poster often repeated: +Justice +is the Issue!+ Side by side with this quiet statement were some of +the “unguarded” remarks made out of court by Judge Webster Thayer. As +I stood there, a stranger among strangers, I saw many men and a few +women. Among the women was one who was elderly. She was dressed in gray +and the face was good to look at. This--as I discovered later--was Mrs. +Glendower Evans, for whom both Sacco and Vanzetti felt love similar to +the love they gave their mothers. There were a number of younger women, +and they were as well-clad and as well set up as the Boston police. +What more could one woman say of other women than that! Some of the men +were small and swart. Some of the men were tall and fair. But of the +exploded Lombroso criminal type who, in popular opinion, throw bombs, +not one was seen,--not in the whole day long. + +Then one of the tall, fair men, having a name well known to the art +world, asked if there were anything he could do for me. When I inquired +for Mary Donovan he said she was in the inner office and he would tell +her I was there. I said no, not to call her, I would wait till she came +out. Almost immediately Miss Donovan came out, a fine-looking dark Celt +whose pale face had in it not only strength but also warmth. + +When, a few minutes later, I told her my name, Mary Donovan grasped my +hand, saying “I am so glad you have come!” and sent me into the inner +office to wait for her. + +In that inner office were four people: two men and two women who +received me politely. One of the men gave me a chair. But, except for +the sending and answering of telephone calls and the coming and going +of telegraph and other messengers, the quiet that reigned in the office +when I entered continued. + +The man who had given me a seat--his seat--sat down on an unopened bale +of pamphlets and I noticed the slender, rather large, scrupulously +clean hands resting quietly on his knees; the wide, dark, gentle eyes; +the head becoming bald; the brow criss-crossed with suffering and with +care; the strangely delicate, firm lips and chin. Where had I seen +that look of childlike spirituality before? Ah, yes, ridiculous but a +fact: in Italian painting on many a celebrated bambino face. + +The other man, who went on steadily writing at the center desk around +which we were, represented a type more familiar to me. The homely face, +the massive head, the thick abundant hair, the look of concentration +as he worked, young still, already he resembled a responsible type of +American journalist. Who was he? + +At the stenographic desk before the one window of that inner office +sat a pretty “child” working silently and rapidly addressing envelope +after envelope, for the new Bulletin of the Committee was just off the +press, containing among other articles reprints of noble editorials +from the _Springfield Republican_ together with a passionate editorial +by Heywood Broun in the _New York World_. The “child’s” hair was a halo +about her head and her features were cameo cut. She paused in her rapid +work only to take or to give a telephone call. + +The other woman, beside whom I was sitting, was older than the “child” +but still young. Except for the man who had given me his seat and +myself the grave beings in that little office were all young. And the +quiet woman at my side with her lovely uncropped auburn hair, the +somewhat oval features, had in her face not only the still look of +suffering, but also the only indestructible youth,--that of goodness. +As about that inner office, so about her was an atmosphere of stillness +and of waiting. Except that she crumpled paper occasionally and that +she had a dry cough from time to time, she made no motions and no sound. + +Who were they all? + +From beginning to end of that day at Headquarters, whose passing was +noted the world over and on which more newspapers were sold than on +any other day in history, in that spare, shabby center of the Defense +struggle, it was plain from the instant those offices were entered that +every dollar had been spent on the building up of public opinion and on +fees for defense, and that not a penny had been wasted. + +Up in the State House on Beacon Hill there were “banks” of telephone +and telegraph wires installed, to send Sacco-Vanzetti news over the +whole world; and at Charlestown was another “bank” of wires which were +to flash the Death House scene to the ends of the earth. Here in the +dingy office in the very center of this fight for justice, an office +from which had come and would come the legal fees to pay for success or +failure, there was but one wire which whistled or faded as calls were +received or sent. Why this interference in such a place on such a day? + +And then Mary Donovan came back, and I met those with whom I had +been sitting in the little office. He of the gentle eyes was Aldino +Felicani, the devoted personal friend of the two condemned men, the +spirit behind the entire movement, and the treasurer of the Committee. +The young man with the shaggy hair and massive head who was still +steadily writing was Gardner Jackson. And the woman with the lovely +uncropped auburn hair and the intelligent, good face was Rosa Sacco. + +Apparently the seven years I had “served” Old Testamentwise, in +obscure, if faithful, work for the Defense had won me in the minds of +some of the Committee a right of friendship which I did not, I know, +deserve. And it became my privilege to spend in close association some +of the most momentous days in the Committee’s history. + +As that day “wore on”--never was phrase more descriptive of the +fixation of tragedy there symbolized and apparent--groups came and +went in the outer office. The Defense Committee had done everything +possible to secure a hall where these groups from New York City, +Philadelphia, and from towns in many near-by states could meet. But +not a landlord in Boston would rent them a hall. Finally a church was +secured. Immediately police and patrol wagon were posted there. Groups +came and went at Defense Headquarters, asking what to do, asking for +instructions. Defense Headquarters had no place to offer them for +meeting except the church or Socialist Headquarters at 21 Essex Street. + +The day before thirty-nine men and women had been arrested, among them +Alfred Baker Lewis, the Massachusetts State Secretary for the Socialist +Party, while engaged in silent picketing outside the State House. The +groups now coming in also wished to picket. In their numbers were men +and women well known in art and in letters: Lola Ridge, Art Shields, +Ruth Hale, the wife of Heywood Broun; Isaac Don Levine, whose articles +on Soviet Russia published in the _New Republic_ had been the first +to tell the American public about the new Russia; Edward H. James, a +nephew of William James; John Dos Passos, and many others. + +For a reply to the question as to when and where they should picket, +Defense Headquarters sent them on to Alfred Baker Lewis at Socialist +Headquarters. It was apparent that Defense Headquarters felt that +their own work lay in the hour to hour messenger service and telephone +battle, over that single “tapped” wire, which they still waged in +arousing public opinion. From the beginning education for justice and +not revolutionary agitation had been their work. And under Alfred +Lewis’s leadership any group that wished to picket would have good +advice and sane control. + +I went over to Socialist Headquarters to get advice with the rest. + +A group of girls called to me eagerly, “Are you going out with us?” + +I answered, “I don’t know: I’m going to do what Alfred Lewis tells me +to do.” + +There he sat, young still although his hair is turning gray, clear-cut +of feature, with the look of a boy who has just had a cool, long swim +and would like to have it all over again. + +He studied me and said, “That’s a Communist crowd going out to picket. +I’m not going myself and I wouldn’t ask you to do what I myself am not +going to do. Wait! We may be needed more later.” + +That settled it, and I went back to Defense Headquarters where I might +be of some use. But the crowd went out. Forty-four men and women were +arrested. One courageous little woman, Dorothy Parker, was roughly +handled by officers who bruised her neck and arms, marching her in the +middle of the street up three cobblestone blocks. + +The mob which had been watching the picketers, undisturbed and +unarrested for “loitering,” backed off in front of Mrs. Parker, +shouting, “Hang her! Hang them all! Hang the anarchists!” + +Later, after she had been bailed, I saw her crying, not because she had +been so badly bruised but because she could not forget that cry of the +mob, “Hang her!” She was not an anarchist; she was not a Communist; she +was not, so far as I knew, even that constitutional radical known as +Socialist. She was, like Mr. Teeple, just one more American doing her +duty for justice’s sake. + +Still the afternoon “wore” on. Once Mary Donovan went into the outer +office to send away a noisily excited group. + +“Think,” she said on her return, “of their daring to come here on a day +like this to enjoy themselves!” + +Rosa Sacco said nothing. She seemed to drift further and further away +from those unfailing friends of hers as she waited to know whether +a respite would be granted and she might see her husband many times +again, or whether she must see him for the last time. The cough was +drier, a few more pieces of paper were crumpled, but she neither sighed +nor spoke nor wept. + +The Governor’s Council was to meet at noon. Surely by three or half +past there would be some word. But, we heard, the Council did not +meet and there was no word. It was half past five before the Governor +entered his office and the Council did meet. Then they adjourned for +dinner and it was half past eight before they were in session again, +Attorney Arthur D. Hill with them to make one more last plea for the +Defense. + +But the little woman who waited, and Mary Donovan her friend, and these +good men? They adjourned for no food,--they had eaten nothing all day. + +Saying I would return, I went out, passing the handsome blue coats, and +turning the corner to an Italian fruit stand. There I bought big rosy +cling-stone peaches, plums and pears golden from sunlight and from +air. And back I went, past the handsome blue coats once more, these +“bombs”--many of them!--in three bags. And at the sight of food that is +more beautiful than any other, as fruit is, eyes brightened. + +I coaxed Mrs. Sacco. Rubbing off the fuzz carefully, she ate a peach. +Then Mr. Felicani’s hand reached into one of the bags and he, too, +rubbed the fuzz from a peach and ate it gratefully. + +“Oh, I’m so glad when they eat!” exclaimed Mary Donovan. “I cannot make +them take any food at all!” + +Of herself she neither spoke nor thought. And she took no fruit. It was +plain that even her endowment of strength could not stand the strain +much longer. And as for her career as a State Factory Inspector that +was over, for the State had dismissed her the day the Court’s decision +had been made known. + +And already she was in bondage of a sort. For there are two economic +and social prisons: the first in which men are shut out from the +opportunity to earn their livings; the second in which they are shut +in, away from those who do earn their living under conditions which +are in general termed “free.” The forces behind the first order of +imprisonment are found in the _mores_ of an age. And those who have +watched those forces at work on others or upon themselves, know how +brutally efficient they can be. Imprisonment of the second order Mary +Donovan was to face later on the two charges made by the Boston police. +But the first she was soon to experience in all its bitterness not of +confinement but of exclusion. Towards the close of August she was to +begin spending days, weeks, months, looking for work in Boston and New +York and to find that all doors, even those she might have expected +to be open, were closed to her. Several friends were to do what they +could to break through this social “police” cordon. By and large their +efforts were futile. And Mary Donovan was to pay in full the charge in +this country to-day against a struggle for conscience’ sake in the loss +of the well-paid post of State Factory Inspector in Massachusetts. In +New York in December, after more than a half a year of unemployment, +she found a chance to wash dishes in Schrafft’s! + +Off and on throughout that interminable afternoon and early evening, a +man’s hand would reach into a bag and take plum or pear or peach. And +from time to time in one way or another during the late afternoon the +tension was relaxed. + +Gardner Jackson, jesting with Felicani, said he could not answer a +certain telephone call, “For I can’t speak Italian,--not yet!” + +Or Mrs. Sacco, persuaded into something like listening to bird and dog +stories, told about her little daughter’s pet kitten. + +“Sometimes,” added Mrs. Sacco, with a smile that was a gleam from a +storm-tossed sea-gull’s wing, “when I am not nervous, I like to pet it, +too.” + +Or the quiet entrance of Professor Felix Frankfurter, compact, human, +friend of justice and of these breaking hearts. Or the coming and going +of Joseph Moro, and Creighton Hill, friend of the Committee, alert, +attentive to a thousand details.... And there was John Barry, sometime +chairman of the Committee, but whether active as chairman or not, there +one night every week with a regularity which never failed. + +Out in Charlestown they were getting ready. The official executioner +for three states, among them Massachusetts, had arrived. That death’s +head of his, that mouth with its twisted fixed smile, how did he fare +as he looked forward to the night’s work? He was not to be at the +banquet after the Death House scene, to which official guests at the +execution had been invited, for he was to return to New York on a dawn +train. How would dawn feel to him? And the arms of his wife and the +kiss of his little child? + +To the _Brooklyn Eagle_ reporter who had been with us, word had been +sent by Warden Hendry that if he wanted to cover the night he would +better come on out to Charlestown. But still no official word had been +received at Headquarters, and now the evening was “wearing” on. + +Then Rosa Sacco fainted as quietly as she had spent the day. A nurse +was called who, with Mary Donovan, took Mrs. Sacco, half-conscious, in +a taxi to a friend’s house, honest, fearless Lilian Haley’s. And now +the night “wore on,” and stories of respite or execution were given out +and “killed” and given out and “killed.” + +Mary Donovan returned. + +“What,” she said, with her finger pointing upward, “if the finger of +God should stay this execution to-night!” + +Gardner Jackson went to the State House, asking to see the Governor. +And the Governor’s Secretary inquiring whether Mr. Jackson had come +to see the Governor “for humane or legal reasons,” Jackson replied, +“Humane. What else is left!” And he was asked to leave the State House. +Here was a man who was no politician, sacrificing openly, as Mr. +Jackson was doing, any possible future in the state. Now he was back. + +It was eleven and the midnight hour was on its way. Still no message! +Several calls came from “the friend’s house” saying that Rosa Sacco +wanted Mary Donovan, and still they waited, hoping and despairing. + +Word was sent from Defense Headquarters that Mrs. Sacco must be got +ready for the worst. The strength of Mary Donovan was beginning to +show a break here and a break there. She not only thought of the +torture to those innocent men and women, but, like the levee holding +back the river, occasionally a torrent of spoken anger swirled through. +Several times she promised to go to the friend’s house but always she +waited for another telephone call, and still no message came. Finally +she took up the telephone, calling Mr. Thompson to ask what steps +should be taken to claim the bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti. Her voice +broke and she sobbed. + +Strange, I thought, that she should still believe in the kindness of +the law! Was not this belief in its ultimate kindness but one more +evidence of her own generous heart? + +The offices were filling up. Nobody knew what to do. Nobody knew +what to think. Messages came, messages were sent, there was nothing +authoritative. It was five minutes before twelve. And the sensitive +face of Felicani was ghastly. And then came word that could be trusted. +It was not sent by the Governor or any one connected with him: +A +RESPITE OF TWELVE DAYS HAD BEEN GRANTED TO NICOLA SACCO AND BARTOLOMEO +VANZETTI+. + +The crowded office became more still. A member of the Committee picked +up the telephone and sent the message to the “friend’s house” that, +without a moment’s delay, Rosa Sacco might know. + +No voices were raised. There was no excited speaking. Gradually those +friends who were unofficial faded away. The Committee could be seen +gathering itself together to battle on for justice for these two +Italian workers who had dared to hope for the day when the workers +would themselves end war and poverty. + +To one another they kept repeating, “We have until the twenty-second. +Well, that is something.” + +As she left the office Mary Donovan turned to me and said, “I’m going +to Rosa. Mr. Felicani is coming later. You come with him!” + +And she was gone. + +Before we could leave there were odds and ends of business needing +attention. Then I found myself out on Hanover Street, walking with Mr. +Felicani up cool, moonlit, deserted city streets towards Beacon Hill. + +We were on our way towards Boston Common where once Emerson had +pastured his cow, and then up onto Beacon Hill of which Margaret +Fuller Ossoli after her Italian marriage had dreamed in Italy. Where +was that “kernel of nobleness” of which Margaret Fuller wrote? Was it +within the State House which we were passing, or within the minds and +hearts of these men and women who believed that a living law has in it, +like life, elements of growth and progress; that commerce is creative +only when it benefits the community as a whole as well as individual +wealth; and that that education alone is really humane which is +democratic and without fear? + +Were not these men and women fighting for--not against--law and order? +Was not justice the issue? And was not injustice the fuse which touched +off every revolution there ever was or ever will be? What revolt, what +destruction of law and order, could there be if there were no injustice +in commerce, in education, in government? + +Down a hill, then up a hill to Lilian Haley’s, the friend’s house where +Rosa Sacco was. We were talking now of the education of public opinion +and of the safety and the hope which lies in education and education +alone. With that strange, unbendable, almost fierce, independence +which those who are strong in their gentleness sometimes possess, it +was plain that in Aldino Felicani was one who would never yield, never +compromise, until all that a dedicated life could do had been done to +secure justice, present or retroactive. + +Just before we entered the friend’s house, Aldino Felicani was speaking +of what the Defense Committee had to do in the days that now remained. + +Of Sacco and Vanzetti he added wistfully, “Ah, these are the very best +men I must ever hope to know!” + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[1] From “America Arraigned,” an Anthology of Sacco-Vanzetti poems +edited by Lucia Trent and Ralph Cheyney. + + + + +CHAPTER II + +THE BEGINNING + + “You cannot kill the dream of those who find + A faith that shall restore the world to men.” + +Lucia Trent.+[2] + + +Past flashed the crowned roads of Vermont, then New Hampshire and +finally Massachusetts: ponds, lakes, mountains, little villages, +larch and hemlock, spruce and birch, fireweed, and mullein in bloom, +goldenrod and button bush, brook and bridge, and the old, old +farmhouses of a day gone by,--all the beauty and comfort and wealth +that lie between the Adirondack region where John Brown is buried yet +still lives, into the outskirts of Boston where some seventy-five years +ago, Ralph Waldo Emerson lived and wrote those famous essays which +still form part of the reading of all thoughtful men and women. + +The land of “promise” for so many over so many scores of years! Beside +the road into an old Vermont farmhouse with a lean-to roof stood a +woman, shawl about her shoulders, gazing off into the trees and up to +the hills. How many generations had it been since for her people, too, +America had been the land of “promise”? The drape of shawl and angle of +the unmistakable New England back said that it had been a long, long +time. + +Then we were pulling into a “marble” city where a young married couple +took the chairs opposite mine. As the wife was seating herself she saw +a package which had been dropped hastily into her chair by the porter +as he went forward. + +“What’s that,--a bomb?” said the wife, looking at it with suspicion. + +“Yes,” answered her husband, facetiously, “a Sacco-Vanzetti bomb.” + +Derided, and so reassured, the wife sat down and the husband opened his +Sunday paper. + +“Justice Holmes won’t act,” said the husband. + +“What’ll they do now?” asked the wife. + +“Get somebody else,” answered the husband, a young Uncle Sam, lean and +muscular and plain. + +Comfort everywhere and abundance! Then the smell of the sea at night, +somehow curiously discordant with its suggestion of vast fresh spaces +of dark water and sky as we drew into the electric-lighted yet dingy +north end of Boston. I was on my way back to be with the Sacco-Vanzetti +Defense Committee as the night of respite or death approached. + +“There is Judge Brandeis,” ran my thought as I walked swiftly down the +North Station platform; “he is really the hope.” + +Stepping through the door to take a taxi over to Hanover Street, in +that semi-circle of electric lights, men were shouting and waving +a small pink “extra” at the top of which stood two words in big +headlines: “BRANDEIS WON’T--” + +After that nothing was “visible” except the panorama of thought that +passed, a vague sense of going through the “gray” of Scollay Square, +and the knowledge that the taxi had turned around at the end of one +of the cross streets and that we were in front of “256” and the steep +stairs, two flights up, to the offices. + +Gardner Jackson and Mary Donovan were not there. But Joseph Moro +was,--always there, always busy. + +It was his voice asking, “Have you met Miss Vanzetti?” + +The memory of another voice was in my ears, that of a woman of letters +who has worked and lived in Italy more or less for thirty years and +whose books on Italy are familiar friends to many who love that land. + +Again that literary friend was saying, “I understand that the Signorina +Vanzetti has behaved herself like a heroine and a lady from beginning +to end of her stay in Boston.” + +But the “end” was not yet. Beside Miss Vanzetti sat Rosa Sacco. From +the glow on those sensitive faces it looked even as if a happier end +might be in sight. And then it occurred to me that both had just come +from the Scenic Auditorium meeting where they had been given so kind +a greeting from the loyal thousand gathered there. Friendship in such +an hour casts no common light. Perhaps it was the reflection of that +welcome which was still upon their faces. + +And the night passed, even as those winding, hill-cupped roads of +Vermont and New Hampshire had passed. Only the panorama of dreaming and +waking was not of pond and lake, of mountain, of village and of tree, +of flower, rock, bridge, and ancient house. + +The panorama was of brave men and women who, in the seven years’ +struggle they had made for justice for these two workers who had been +dreaming of and working for a world without war and poverty, had shown +the principle of selflessness; those two noble prisoners back in the +Death House again, already from their hands the touch and scent of +strong leather, the silvery coolness of fish and the smell of the sea +gone forever; the Defense Committee and its counsel, without hope, +fighting on to the end; the friends who for justice’s sake--doctors, +lawyers, merchants, pastors (but no priests)--rallied about them, +giving beyond their means, working beyond their strength; and these two +loving women before me who spoke precisely and with quiet. + +And somehow in those passing human pictures were all the strength, +intention, beauty of life itself, crowning dream and waking with more +wonder than hill the valley,--that valley of the shadow of death,--a +symbol towards which Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were on their +way. + +Defeat? Yes, of a kind, there at the Bellevue Headquarters where the +Citizens’ National Committee, an eleventh hour organization, was +sponsored by men and women of acknowledged power, already a list of 505 +names, many of which are known for public service throughout whatever +parts of the earth are still socially-minded: Jane Addams, Judge Amidon +of North Dakota, Mary Austin, Howard Brubaker, J. McKeen Cattell, +John S. Codman, John R. Commons, Waldo Cook, John Dewey, Dr. Haven +Emerson, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walcott Farnam, Mrs. J. Malcolm Forbes, +Norman Hapgood, Arthur Garfield Hays, William Ernest Hocking, John +Howard Lawson, Mary E. McDowell, Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Mussey, George +E. Roewer Jr., Graham Taylor, John T. Vance, Oswald Garrison Villard, +Marian Parker Whitney, Mary E. Woolley, and some five hundred other +names representing conspicuous achievement.[3] + +Nevertheless it was a Committee which in the very process of +organizing suffered from disorganization, attacked from all sides +by the consciousness of the mythology of fear which the philosophy +and economics of a century had built up and a World War consummated. +Now as swiftly and inexorably as cancer strikes the human +body,--money-symbolism, greed, class-consciousness, class-hatred, +covering themselves with the garments of respectability, law, and +patriotism, had struck into the social body. A strong Committee, +despite its strength aware of its helplessness, consisting among others +of Dr. Alice Hamilton of Harvard, Paul Kellogg of the _Survey_, Amy +Woods, Waldo Cook of the _Springfield Republican_ and John F. Moors, +was formed to represent the Citizens’ National Committee. Mr. Moors +is a Harvard Overseer as well as a banker. It was he who persuaded +President Lowell to serve on the Advisory Committee. When the decision +of the Committee was brought in, he was willing to accept it but joined +the Citizens’ National Committee to ask for clemency only. At noon +this delegation called upon the Governor. The Governor’s Secretary Mr. +MacDonald, who had handled all the material submitted to the Governor +and dealt with all the witnesses, derailed the purpose of the Committee +by greeting Waldo Cook with the accusation that Mr. Cook had accepted +a bribe of $20,000 from the Defense Committee to write his Sacco and +Vanzetti editorials for the _Springfield Republican_. + +And defeat at Defense Headquarters, too? Yes, of a sort--the kind whose +terms have in them ideas which find symbolic immortality equally upon +the Cross or in the Death House. + +That noon Felix Frankfurter said in the dingy corridor of Defense +Headquarters, out of the hearing of Rosa Sacco, “She must not be made +conscious of the larger issues of this thing, for now how can she think +of anything but that it is her loved one who suffers! Yet somehow, no +matter what happens to-night, I am too healthy--or something--to give +up hope. I cannot believe it is the end.” + +And the spent figure of Aldino Felicani, bending to Destiny but not +broken. + +And the arrow-flight of Arthur Hill’s car rushing now southward towards +the sea to ask legal intervention from one, a judge of the Supreme +Court, who, showing neither hospitality nor the quality of mercy, that +early morning missed the great opportunity of his career. Then another +flight northward, desperate, the last chance, in an open boat upon the +sea, to an island whose shoreline is a rocky temple of beauty upon +which the Defense was to meet its last shipwreck. + +The day was passing. With it the hours of the two who were to be +executed were spilling swiftly from one glass to another, from life +to death. A curious sense of whirling figures grew upon one and of +futility. It was not unlike dust in sunlight. In the offices telephones +rang incessantly, telegraph messengers came and went, men and women +moved swiftly to and fro, typewriters clicked.... And in those offices +at the Bellevue, as well as at the Defense Headquarters, national, as +well as international contacts by telegraph and cable were bravely +maintained to the last. + +A few figures stood out as somehow expressive, in their very +difference, of this united struggle of conscience against injustice: +John Dos Passos flitting about, cheerful, charming; Mrs. Elliott +here, as in her work for peace, fearless, gentle, quiet; Paul Kellogg +frayed with years of battle for social welfare, pale, determined; Dr. +Alice Hamilton of Harvard, strong in reserve; Waldo Cook, cool-headed, +responsible, ready at any cost, but never by any means except by the +use of reason to maintain the editorial position of the _Springfield +Republican_. Mrs. Glendower Evans, in gray, white-haired, was seated, +a Quaker-like figure in the midst of the Woman’s City Club, waiting, +talking with the friends who came to her. Mrs. Evans’s faithful +friendship to Sacco and Vanzetti, and therefore to the issues of +justice, had proved itself in more than one way. Not only had she given +the case her financial support but also she had assembled evidence +with, as a friend wrote of her, “an insight as to its value in court +which was worthy of a mind long-trained by court practice.” Best of +all was the gift of herself, so complete that she was troubled not to +have been able to share even imprisonment. + +And there was Powers Hapgood testing the free assemblage and free +speech issue again and yet again, thinking, as Paul Kellogg wrote of +him in the _Survey_, “If, when the lives of two men were at stake and +thousands of working people believed they weren’t getting justice at +the hands of the courts, you couldn’t even get a permit to discuss +the issue on Boston Common, then it looked as if we had let our old +liberties be scrapped for us and political action didn’t offer a way +out. And they would be scrapped, if we didn’t exercise our rights and +show that men believed in them.” + +Assuredly in those thirteen days in Boston from the tenth of August +to the twenty-second, when the issue of justice hung in the balance, +with those in power there was no spirit of making good a mistake +either by experience or by free discussion. Boston Regnant through +Chief of Police Crowley denied all requests for use of the Common. +And even upon that night of the twenty-second Crowley was to refuse +Miss Hale’s request for the use of Bunker Hill Monument as a place for +free assemblage, “where the people might repeat the Lord’s Prayer or +sing hymns.” It is not improbable that many sorts and conditions of +Americans who, for conscience’ sake, assembled in Boston during those +days, wondered in what traditions of free speech and free assemblage +the police representation of those in power had been trained. It is +certain that the social and political education of those who controlled +the police had included the name of John Stuart Mill and possibly even +a certain paragraph from that most famous of his essays +ON LIBERTY+: +“+BUT THE PECULIAR EVIL OF SILENCING THE EXPRESSION OF AN OPINION IS, +THAT IT IS ROBBING THE HUMAN RACE; POSTERITY AS WELL AS THE EXISTING +GENERATION; THOSE WHO DISSENT FROM THE OPINION, STILL MORE THAN +THOSE WHO HOLD IT. IF THE OPINION IS RIGHT, THEY ARE DEPRIVED OF THE +OPPORTUNITY OF EXCHANGING ERROR FOR TRUTH; IF WRONG, THEY LOSE, WHAT +IS ALMOST AS GREAT A BENEFIT, THE CLEARER PERCEPTION AND LIVELIER +IMPRESSION OF TRUTH, PRODUCED BY ITS COLLISION WITH ERROR.... WE CAN +NEVER BE SURE THAT THE OPINION WE ARE ENDEAVORING TO STIFLE IS A FALSE +OPINION; AND IF WE WERE SURE, STIFLING IT WOULD BE AN EVIL STILL.+” + +Throughout the day it seemed clearer and clearer, where much was +confused, that already as individuals Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo +Vanzetti were being lost sight of, that already they were gone from +our midst--though they had still a few hours to live--and had become +symbolic of issues more important than the life of any human being can +ever be. + +And then another figure in the midst of many: Alfred Baker Lewis, +himself just out of the police station, coming swiftly through the +hotel lobby. + +Catching sight of me, he called, “A lot of them have been arrested and +we haven’t any money left to bail them. Have you any?” + +“Yes,” I answered, “I’ll take over what I have and get more. Where +shall I go?” + +“They’re in the Joy Street Police Station. Mary Donovan’s there.” And +he was gone. + +So was I in a quick shift from the Bellevue to the lock-up and the +greeting with Mary Donovan standing by her “people” in and out of jail. + +In the flight to and fro in which, through Amy Woods, John Dos +Passos, Mrs. Glendower Evans, Arthur Garfield Hays, Edna St. Vincent +Millay, and some other generous friends, more than enough money was +collected to bail out a group of over one hundred and fifty men and +women, certain fragments of pictures stood out: a young man, stunted +in growth, with pure childlike face, being hustled down Joy Street +between two officers twice his size;[4] Professor Ellen Hayes of +Wellesley being taken to the patrol wagon on the arm of a young +Irish bluecoat--untroubled, serene, “a grand soul” as Mary Donovan +said of her later that day; some groups of garment workers cheering +their comrades at the risk of being themselves arrested; Edna St. +Vincent Millay seated in the bail room, her grave, dark husband, +Eugene Boissevin, standing beside her; Clarina Michelson, with energy +undiminished by the Passaic strike, cheerful, kindly, being bailed; +Lola Ridge coming out of the inner guard room, her face solemn in the +solemn hours that were passing. + +Nevertheless that jail will remain in my memory as the only gay place +which I saw in those thirteen days. + +From one nice-looking group being herded in, a voice called blithely, +“Here come some more of these jail birds!” + +They looked it, America’s youth, best and bravest! And within that +station were being deposited the many placards which many had been +carrying, among them one which had in it the meaning of all the +others,--Paula Halliday’s SAVE SACCO AND VANZETTI! IS JUSTICE DEAD? + +Here were none of those who, to quote a line from Laura Simmons’s +sonnet, kept their “prudent way within the crowd.” While I waited in +the bailing room where, in addition to the bail asked, the bailer +collected two dollars for each arrest--his way of earning a living!--a +man, pointing to a suit case, asked me to sit down. It was kindness, +and in such a place well to cultivate kindness. + +For awhile all the windows were shut tight. Within a space adequate +for two score there were packed over several hours almost seven times +that number. The windows were closed, for some fifty garment workers +were chanting the Internationale, their triumphant, militant song of +brotherhood. + +From the guard room Clarina Michelson, Helen Todd, Lola Ridge, and +others were being let out. Mary Donovan seemed anxious about some who +should be bailed at once, among them Powers Hapgood. She turned to look +for him, but, strangely, he was gone. And with him the day was going, +too. + +The last night had come. At Defense Headquarters, Louis Bernheimer was +sending and receiving messages. He was as suddenly and mysteriously +present on this night as he had been independently and mysteriously +active in behalf of the Defense Committee, for unknown to the +Committee, Mr. Bernheimer had written and circulated 30,000 pamphlets +to ministers throughout the country. A graduate of Yale in 1917, an +air pilot in France during the war, a student of Chinese philosophy, a +hermit, he had already been a source of influence to the Committee. + +Powerful, cynically courageous, he betrayed his emotion by no conscious +sign. Unconsciously, however, he revealed the strain under which he +worked, for every once in a while he whispered to himself. + +The wire Louis Bernheimer handled kept efficient touch with all who +belonged in that office and yet were not there. Inside the office +the editor of an Italian paper, Serafino Romualdi, was taking notes, +now asking how to spell “monument,” then checking against some other +unfamiliar word. + +Via the telephone the office knew that Mary Donovan, a lawyer with her, +had hurried out to the psychiatric hospital to which the state police +had been taking Powers Hapgood even as she had turned to find him +somehow mysteriously vanished. + +The office knew, too, that Gardner Jackson and his sister, Dr. Edith +Jackson, were on their way with Mrs. Sacco and Signorina Vanzetti to +the State House to make one last appeal to a cast-iron executive; and +that Michael Angelo Musmanno and Aldino Felicani were on their way +back from their farewell in the Death House, Mr. Musmanno to act as +interpreter for Vanzetti’s sister, Aldino Felicani to return to the +Defense office. + +What was there for two women to do, for Ruth Hale and for me? An +age-old prerogative of women: feed hungry men. Others would be coming +in, and they, too, whether they knew it or not would need food. And no +food except a bag of peanuts was on that table banked with telegrams, +letters and carbons. We went out after coffee and sandwiches and milk. + +Waiting, we, too, had coffee on the clean table by the cool window of +that little Italian restaurant one flight up. We read there words from +a letter which had come from a young editor: “It seems so inextricably +intertwined with the most inert and selfish of human motives, the +desire to be comfortable, not to be bothered, to maintain the _status +quo_, to keep things as they’ve always been, to defend institutions +from attack, to get rid of men of that type. Reason is no longer in +evidence. And I have yielded momentarily, more than once to the weak +wish that it was all over and filed away neatly.” + +Quickly now--after seven years of delay--one sort of “filing” would +soon be done and over. And then that letter which had come straight +out of the heart of youth leapt into flame: “One is removed from life +and death, from all emotion, and suspended in a desperate abyss, where +calmness and self-control are the things most needed. Events happen, +and are seen in crystalline stillness. But the mind, the soul, continue +the hopeless struggle, for all is not lost, as long as the desire for +justice persists.” + +For all is not lost as long as the desire for justice persists! Around +the corner from Headquarters over in Salem Street in the rooms of +the Hod Carriers’ Union, the “desire” was most certainly persisting. +Mother Bloor had come all the way from California to speak for justice +for Sacco and Vanzetti. Lola Ridge and John Howard Lawson had passed +through Headquarters and had gone over to Salem Street to speak for +justice. + +As we sat on, quiet in the tense office, messages coming and going, +now and then a cup of coffee being poured or a sandwich eaten, in my +thoughts were lines from Lola Ridge’s “Two in the Death House” which, +repeated to me the week before, she was now chanting over in Salem +Street. + + “You have endured those moments, you + Close to the rough nap of earth, and knowing her perennial ways. + And when, on some one of your counted mornings, light + That pulls at the caught root of things + Has pierced you with a touch, or leavened air, + + * * * * * + + You too have hoped--with the ardor of young shoots, renascent under + concrete, + And with them have gone down to defeat again.”[5] + +Dos Passos, flitting into the office, called: “It’s more cheerful over +there! Come on over!” + +Then suddenly, when Miss Hale and I were already halfway down the +stairs, from the street came uproar, and the rush of many feet and the +sound of hundreds of voices. + +Mother Bloor had been arrested for speaking out the window of the Hod +Carriers’ Union to some five hundred people who had been unable to get +inside. + +When the police were heard coming up the stairs of the Hod Carriers’ +Union to get her, Fred Beale, a splendid type of young man, threw his +arm about Mother Bloor to protect her, saying, “You mustn’t let them +get you!” + +Brave as always, she disengaged his arm, and said, “You’ll have to let +me go with them, Fred!” + +And quietly she went away with the police, and from Hanover Street had +come the angry shout, “Mother Bloor’s been arrested!” + +Putting my hand on Ruth Hale’s arm, I held her where she was. She had +done her best to get Crowley to give a permit for the use of Bunker +Hill Monument for all who would meet together and speak. And she had +failed. Now was not the time for any one to “strike” again. + +Dos Passos had disappeared, and we went back up through the outer +office and on into the office where messages came and went and there +was more silence than speech. + +The outer office filled up and emptied intermittently, rich and +poor alike coming and going. From a brave mission to plead with the +Governor, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman and a friend were there, like the +brave gentlewomen they are, standing fraternally in the outer office. + +From that outer office, too, came the sound of a woman’s voice, +curiously deep, speaking with a slight accent: “They wanted us to +come over and now they don’t want us. We have worked hard and made +sacrifices. They want all the power. We want some power, too, and we +are going to have it. During the war, thinking my name was German, the +dirty dogs framed me. And then they found I wasn’t German and had to +let me go. They think they hold a first mortgage on us, do they? But +they--” + +Who were “they”? Was that the government, political wealth, or what was +it? Were those the terms in which our foreign born now thought of this +land of promise? + +Mother Bloor, quickly bailed by Mary Donovan and quickly back, was +seated in the outer office. + +But a small group from the Hod Carriers’ Union was making its way out +to Charlestown Prison. There, now, Sacco and Vanzetti were momently +expecting the summons to that chair visible from their adjoining cells, +with its + + “---- cap that pours into the brain + The livid needles of its pain.”[6] + +At eleven o’clock the group led by Lola Ridge having received neither +orders nor suggestions from Defense Headquarters, they had started, a +straggling half hundred, for Charlestown. + +In sight of the roofs of the Jail, Lola Ridge had found herself in the +lead, holding by the hand a small school-girl who had accompanied them +from the start. + +Jail in sight the school-girl had said, “Here is where I say good-by to +you!” + +With a young Scotchman and another girl, Lola Ridge slipped under the +ropes and started straight for the cordon of mounted police and the +Prison doors. A young mounted guard, a boy, rode down upon her. + +As he reined in his horse fairly over her, she heard him whispering in +a frightened voice, “What do you want?” + +Daring the trooper to ride her down, she refused to leave the rope. + +Suddenly there was the uproar of conflict. A group of men from the +straggling fifty she had led, had thrown themselves between her and the +police now closing in upon her. + +A friend, Carline Murphy, knowing, as the men did, that an order had +been given for Lola Ridge’s arrest, slipped in beside her. + +While the conflict between the men and the police continued, Carline +Murphy drew her away, saying, “Lola, come! I know a way to get near the +Jail.” + +This she did to save her, and, still asserting that she knew a way to +get near the Jail, they were lost in the crowd. + +Mary Donovan, too, was back again in the inner office. She and the +lawyer had seen Powers Hapgood. Now she was urged to drink a cup of +coffee and eat a sandwich. + +As she bit into the large sandwich, humor flashed over the pale face. +“This is what I call strong bread!” she exclaimed. + +And while she ate, she was giving an account of Powers Hapgood. +Before they were allowed to see him, they had been kept waiting two +hours because the Superintendent said he had “to have his little +tea.” Admitted, they had found Hapgood in bed and eager to tell his +experiences. + +When the attendants had asked him why he was there, Powers Hapgood had +replied, “For trying to help save Sacco and Vanzetti.” + +Then the attendants had called these Italians “wops” and had told Mr. +Hapgood he was in the very bed in which Sacco had been. + +An attendant said supper was ready. + +Would he like some? + +What was it? + +Beef stew. + +And Powers Hapgood had said, “No, I don’t want beef stew. I’m a +vegetarian.” + +“And after that,” said Mary Donovan, humor bubbling up again, “they +were sure he was psychopathic.” + +The attendants, who seemed to be a “gentle lot,” had then given Mr. +Hapgood an eggnog and some bread and butter. + +Gardner Jackson and Dr. Edith Jackson came in. Gardner Jackson sat down +by the telephone. There was silence. They had come from the Governor’s +office, on their return leaving Rosa Sacco and Signorina Vanzetti at +Lilian Haley’s. + +Dr. Edith Jackson, her head between her hands, spoke in a trembling +voice, “Twice the Governor said, waving his hand toward Rosa Sacco and +Signorina Vanzetti, ‘It is these ladies that move me most.’” + +And some in that office wondered, “Was it?” + +Heard, too, over the Governor’s telephone during that hour was the +ringing voice of Attorney Thompson who believed, and still believes in +the innocence of these two men. + +In the Secretary’s office, where he stayed while the others went in to +the Governor with Michael Angelo Musmanno to act as interpreter,--in +the Secretary’s office, Gardner Jackson was offered a cigar! + +Mary Donovan spoke less and less, answering an occasional inquiry which +came from the “friend’s house” where again Rosa Sacco was waiting for +the end, but this time not only with faithful, fearless Lilian Haley +beside her but also Signorina Vanzetti. + +And again at Headquarters all were waiting, with hope, without hope.... +On that night of August twenty-second, haunting phrases, aspects of +courage that did not flinch, many invisible presences in remembered +word and look and act were with those who assembled in Defense +Headquarters and wherever a group was gathered together in the name of +Sacco and Vanzetti. + +At the telephone the voice of Gardner Jackson, as the minutes passed +became more and more quiet: “Was the execution to go forward?” + +“No news?” + +“Bad!” + +“No, nothing,--nothing at all!” + +So the brief inquiries and monosyllabic answers followed one another. + +Beyond the doors of Defense Headquarters events went forward that will +never be recorded, and all expressive of sympathy for this tragedy +reaching its visible climax. + +One experience was that of Helen Peabody, the artist, who also had made +her way out to the Jail, got detached from her group, and had been +arrested. She was taken into Charlestown Prison where in the guard room +a courteous police officer had offered her a chair. + +Suddenly she realized that she was within the very walls that held +Sacco and Vanzetti,--there where they were about to die. In her thought +saluting them, Helen Peabody continued to stand. Placing her hand upon +the walls that held Sacco and Vanzetti, she stood at attention in that +jail guard room till after midnight. + +As midnight approached at Defense Headquarters, even when there was +speech there was yet stillness in those offices. + +During that hour before midnight Debs was spoken of,--the fact that +the last money order he had been able to make out had been for this +Committee. + +And some one in the office said, “All day thoughts have been repeating +a prayer taught when we were children, ‘Now I lay me down to sleep.’ +They have nothing to regret. They are good children. They will sleep +well.” + +Aldino Felicani, sitting with bent head, answered gently, “What are two +lives! It is the ideal.” + +It was midnight. Quiet and more quiet, Gardner Jackson was speaking at +the telephone. + +Madeiros was gone. + +Once a thief had hung on either side, the Christ between. Now, two +idealists, not one, as if symbol of an achieved fellowship for which +Christ had lived and died, and but one thief. These two, atheists +though they might be, of the Brotherhood of Christ. + +And perhaps in the moment when from Nicola Sacco they were cutting +off speech with the straps guards were fixing about his head and the +Death House heard him calling out those last words: “Long live anarchy! +Farewell my wife and child and all my friends!... Farewell, Mother!” +came a cry from Mary Donovan, “I can’t--I can’t believe it!” + +Her brother and a friend were swiftly at her side, there was the snap +of an ammonia capsule, and control quickly regained. Still that belief +in the ultimate kindness of the law. + +Vanzetti next,--gentleman of a gentle land, shaking hands with his +guards, thanking Warden Hendry for his kindness, and, even as they +blindfolded him, from this atheist those Christlike words: “I wish to +forgive some people for what they are now doing to me.” + +In the ears of those who stood in that Death House must have rung down +two thousand years of time the words of Another, “Father, forgive +them, for they know not what they do!” + +Through the inner door of Defense Headquarters tumbled the Italian +editor. Unable to speak, the breath in him shaking the whole man, he +bit at a roll of papers he held in his hand. + +Then, crying out convulsively, “They are gone!” he threw himself head +and shoulders, sobbing, upon the table. + +And in that moment there was no separation between manhood and tears. +They were one and alike beautiful. + +Most courteous and most sensitive brother of ours, you meet a double +tragedy. _From what_ did you come? _To what_ have you come? Fleeing +Fascism in your lovely land, what is it you have gained here in this +country of which Sacco wrote as “always in my dreams”?[7] Is it +freedom? Is it the ideal? What was it that--the ideal--you hoped of +your land of promise? + +From the outer office, some weeping, all quietly, they were going down +the steep stairs. + +In the inner office Mary Donovan spoke, “Come, let us not answer the +telephone any more.” + +And we went out, in groups or alone, down the stairs, and into the +night. + +Those thirteen days from August tenth to August twenty-second were over. + +Then, after hours that seemed eternity, the way back to the foothills +of the Adirondacks where John Brown lies buried. Land of promise, +beauty and wealth everywhere! Hills and rushing streams of the +Berkshires in the summer sunlight, the deep valley of the Hudson in +the heat of afternoon, in the dusk the thin ribbon of water and first +cliffs of Lake Champlain. + +In my thoughts were another beautiful land and another Brotherhood +struggling for justice, Padraic Pearse and his poem “+TO DEATH+”: + + Of wealth or of glory + I shall leave nothing behind me + (I think it, O God, enough!) + But my name in the heart of a child. + +The train came to an unexpected stop outside a little fortress town, +among the first of those historic towns on Lake Champlain. + +Above the sudden quiet, I heard a high-pitched woman’s voice, “That +Italian case that was on at Boston.” + +“When?” asked another woman who sat beside her. + +“To-night. But I didn’t get tuned in in time and--” + +With a jerk, through the dark, the train went on. + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[2] “America Arraigned,” edited by Lucia Trent and Ralph Cheyney. + +[3] _V._ Appendix C., pp. 108-120, for the 505 names of the initial list +taken by Paul U.

Students of these issues +should read, too, the valuable appendices to “The Letters.” + + + + +CHAPTER III + +THE MARCH OF SORROW + + “Pass not too near these outcast sons of men + Where walked the Christ ahead! lest you, too, share + The rabble’s wrath! in time take heed! beware + The shame--the bitter woe of Him again! + Your flaming zeal speak not so rash--so loud! + Pass on your prudent path within the crowd.” + From “The Way,” by +Laura Simmons+.[8] + + +“And within the offices of the Defense Committee that day, how was it?” + +“It was businesslike,--very unpleasant,” answered Rose Pesotta. + +“You mean?” + +“I mean that little was said, and yet all seemed to be saying, ‘We must +bury our dead!’ They could think of nothing else.” + + * * * * * + +Between the midnight of their execution and the Sunday of the March of +Sorrow, throughout the world protest and violence had been expressing +themselves in one way and another,--portents for all who had eyes to +see and ears to hear. + +In Cheswick, Pennsylvania, on the 22nd, state troopers had ridden into +a peacefully conducted protest meeting of some fifteen hundred striking +miners and their wives and children, and two hundred had been injured. +They were in an orchard, picnicking in groups, when it all happened. +A trooper who had swung his club once too often upon the heads of +women and children had been killed. The newspapers told about that. +The news did not tell about the woman, mother of four children, who +was so beaten up that she bled to death. The news did not tell about +old women who were assaulted, or about the young women and children +about whom Don Brown told, through the medium of the _New Republic_, +women and children beaten, thrown across rooms, gassed and ridden down. +Did Pittsburgh know? What would William Penn have thought about his +namesake state if he could have been present at the bloody dispersement +of this orderly, peaceful protest meeting in behalf of Sacco and +Vanzetti?... In Colorado in the coal fields matters did not fare any +better. + +In London, on August 23d, forty persons were injured near the Marble +Arch where mounted and foot police charged Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizers. +The crime of these sympathizers was that they tried to march. In Paris +on the same date street benches were torn up and newsstands were +overturned to be used as barricades by a mob of some fifteen thousand +sympathizers. In the conflict hundreds of civilians were injured, and +scores of police. + +There were demonstrations throughout the civilized world as well as in +London and Paris. In Rosario, Argentine, throngs waiting in silence, +in silence bared their heads when just after midnight the news of the +executions reached them. At Buenos Aires a sympathetic strike and +the boycotting of American manufactures and products was organized. +At Sydney, Australia, a huge procession protested the executions and +resolutions were passed by the workers to boycott American goods. At +Johannesburg, South Africa,--Olive Schreiner’s country,--an American +flag was burned on the steps of the Town Hall and speeches were made +urging the boycotting of American goods. In both Berlin and Leipzig +there were serious clashes between rioting protestants and the police. +In Oporto, Portugal, many people were hurt when police dispersed a +demonstration being held in front of the American Consulate. + +But at Headquarters, little was said, and yet, as Rose Pesotta +expressed it, all were saying, “We must bury our dead.” Stillness, +fog-like, blanketed both grief and work, and was broken only by the +buzz of telephone, or the question or answer of some quiet voice.... +The authorities had nailed a two by four plank upright in the entrance +of Defense Headquarters, so that no coffins could be carried through +and up the stairway. It had been the plan of the Defense that loving +hands should bear the bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti up the stairs in +order that they might lie in state in those rooms where the battle +for their lives had been fought. The Rotenberg Estate, which owns 256 +Hanover Street, had complained to the police. In death as in life the +Committee met defeat, and the bodies had to be taken from Charlestown +Prison to Langone’s Funeral Chapel. + +In many places outside that Funeral Chapel might have been heard the +harsh echoes of cheap denunciation of those who now lay still. But +the sound that was in the ears of the men and women in the Defense +Committee and in other committees that had struggled to save them, were +the “Hail and Farewell” of Sacco and Vanzetti to the Defense written in +the Death House on August 21: + + +“THAT WE LOST AND HAVE TO DIE, DOES NOT DIMINISH OUR APPRECIATION + AND GRATITUDE FOR YOUR GREAT SOLIDARITY WITH US AND OUR FAMILIES. + FRIENDS AND COMRADES, NOW THAT THE TRAGEDY OF THIS TRIAL IS AT AN + END, BE ALL AS OF ONE HEART. ONLY TWO OF US WILL DIE. OUR IDEAL, + YOU OUR COMRADES, WILL LIVE BY MILLIONS. WE HAVE WON. WE ARE NOT + VANQUISHED. JUST TREASURE OUR SUFFERING, OUR SORROW, OUR MISTAKES, + OUR DEFEATS, OUR PASSION FOR FUTURE BATTLES AND FOR THE GREAT + EMANCIPATION.+ + + +“BE ALL AS OF ONE HEART IN THIS BLACKEST HOUR OF OUR TRAGEDY, AND WE + HAVE HEART. SALUTE FOR US ALL THE FRIENDS AND COMRADES OF THE EARTH.+ + + +“WE EMBRACE YOU ALL AND BID YOU OUR EXTREME GOOD-BY WITH OUR HEARTS + FILLED WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION.+ + + +“NOW AND EVER, LONG LIFE TO YOU ALL, LONG LIFE TO LIBERTY.+ + + +“YOURS FOR LIFE AND DEATH.+ + +Nicola Sacco+ + +Bartolomeo Vanzetti+.”[9] + +And as at Defense Headquarters they were getting ready to bury their +dead, in the ears of millions of sympathizers the world over were +not only those words of +HAIL AND FAREWELL+, but also all the tender +courtesies that these two gentlemen of a gentle land had not forgot in +their final hours of agony. There was Vanzetti thanking his unfailing +friend, Mrs. Jessica Henderson, “most heartfully” for her care of his +sister, and admitting that at sight of his sister his heart had “lost +a little of its steadiness.” And Vanzetti writing a long and beautiful +letter to “Friend Dana,” the student of English Literature.[10] And +there was Sacco writing a last letter to his little son, Dante, of +which some of the sentences once read will always be remembered: + + “What here I am going to tell you will touch your feelings, but + don’t cry, Dante, because many tears have been wasted, as your + mother’s have been wasted for seven years, and never did any good. + So, Son, instead of crying, be strong, so as to be able to comfort + your mother, and when you want to distract your mother from the + discouraging soulness, I will tell you what I used to do. To take her + for a long walk in the quiet country, gathering wild flowers here and + there, resting under the shade of trees, between the harmony of the + vivid stream and the gentle tranquillity of the mother nature, and I + am sure that she will enjoy this very much, as you surely would be + happy for it. But remember always, Dante, in the play of happiness, + don’t you use all for yourself only, but down yourself just one + step, at your side and help the weak ones that cry for help, help + the persecuted and the victim because they are your better friends, + they are the comrades that fight and fall as your father and Bartolo + fought and fell yesterday for the conquest of the joy and freedom for + all the poor workers. In this struggle of life you will find more + love and you will be loved....” + +Appreciation, guidance, love, courage for others, their thought in +these last hours,--messages that for centuries to come will teach men +how to live and how to die.... + +If, for their own comfort, on that last night of their life, they might +have seen their Defense Committee as some others saw it: the worn face +of Aldino Felicani; the persistence of Gardner Jackson; the ceaseless +watchfulness of Joseph Moro; the pallor of Mary Donovan; and, centered +in the midst of all their love and care, the quiet, patient beauty of +Rosa Sacco. + +The Governor had assured a woman of wealth--also a woman of courage +and judgment--who had come to plead with him for stay of sentence, +that after it was over they would both sleep better in their beds. It +is probable that the only peace that night for multitudes of men and +women of all ranks and of national and international interests, was the +bitter gratitude that after the long agony, Sacco and Vanzetti knew the +peace of death. For they knew so well that all was not over, as the +authorities and the news said it was. They knew that it was only just +begun. + +Two days later on the evening of August 25th some eight thousand people +were gathered before the doors of Langone’s waiting to go in to look +upon the faces of the Italian martyrs. Some had stood there all day +pressing up against the ropes that held them off. Very shortly after +those doors were opened, Mary Donovan, nerves at the breaking point +after the long years of Defense work and those thirteen days covering +the postponement and preparation for the executions, as some news and +camera men were about to take pictures of Sacco and Vanzetti, took her +stand at the head of the coffins, in her hands a placard two and a half +feet long and two feet wide. On it were Judge Webster Thayer’s words +spoken while petitions for a new trial were still to be argued before +him: “+Did you see what I did to those anarchistic bastards?+” + +A battle of wills then ensued between Joseph Langone, the funeral +director, whose license would be at stake if trouble occurred, and +Mary Donovan. The struggle was soon over. The photographers went ahead +with their work, and Mary Donovan stepped outside, where the crowd of +eight thousand was waiting, and handed her placards to a newspaper man +to copy. As they were being returned to her a Sergeant of the Police +snatched them from her, and another struggle was begun. It culminated, +despite the attempt of Gardner Jackson and Powers Hapgood to defend +her, in her arrest on two charges: first, inciting to riot; second, +distributing anarchistic literature. + +Mary Donovan, whether her action at this time was well-judged or not, +was within her rights in permitting the reporters to copy her placards. +As far as the distribution of anarchistic literature is concerned, +the “literature” involved was of the making of Judge Webster Thayer +who might dislike having his phrases called anarchistic. Mary Donovan +herself is a registered member of a political party whose tenets are +opposed to those of anarchy,--I mean that political party known as the +Socialist Party of the United States. She was given six months on each +count or a year in prison, and her case is still to be called. + +Saturday night was gone and Sunday had come. Sunday noon the March of +Sorrow was scheduled to begin the long traversing on foot of some eight +miles to Forest Hills where the last ceremony was to be held and the +bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti cremated. From the steps and portico of +Saint Paul’s Cathedral in Boston a waiting crowd was looking out upon a +far greater throng which packed Tremont Street to the curb. To Beacon +Hill and that State House already barred to the marchers by road signs +and trucks placed end on end across all entrances to it, the Common +rose in gradual ascent. + +This day and hour of August twenty-eighth, 1927, was as rain and wind +swept as a November day, with dead leaves falling from trees still +green. Many of those who stood upon the portico steps, not a few who +stirred upon the Common, believing in the leadership and healing +power of ideal action, must have touched the thought of this Boston +of 1927 with its American Tragedy of Injustice and its memories +of Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison as one touches the +inexplicable,--something of amazement and fear both in their thoughts. +What did it all mean? Or Italian by birth, minds sought refuge during +those gray and solemn hours by a grave in the Campo Santo, Genoa, +with its legend “+PRO VITA NUOVA+,” remembering Mazzini and phrases +revealing his suffering and his triumph. + +On Hanover Street, within Defense Headquarters, and a few doors away +on the opposite side of the street at Langone’s, since early morning +preparations had been going forward,--all was “business like.” At ten +the Funeral Chapel had been closed. But thousands had seen those faces, +alabaster in death, of a good shoemaker and a poor fish peddler. From +Defense Headquarters word was being passed out that the March of Sorrow +was to begin at one o’clock. There still, all was quiet and the one +thought that they must bury their dead. Not permitted to begin the +march with the famous red arm band about the sleeve--+Remember, Justice +Crucified! August 22, 1927+--word was passed out to put the bands into +pockets until a certain point on the marching route had been reached. + +For hours throngs of mourners had been gathering in the North End all +along the quarter of a mile between the Funeral Chapel and North End +Park. Waiting open cars had been filled to overflowing with scarlet +flowers, and on foot many volunteers were to bear crimson wreaths. Then +the pallbearers carried out the coffins to the waiting hearses. Led by +two closed cars, one containing Mrs. Sacco and Miss Vanzetti, Aldino +Felicani and Dante Sacco, the other empty and waiting for the moment +when the members of the Defense Committee should step into it from the +head of the marching ranks, at a signal the great cortège fell into +step, arm linked to arm, the motors in the cars began to throb, and the +March of Sorrow was begun. + +And it was begun to the pounding of horses’ hoofs, for at the head +and on either side of the hearse and the two closed cars rode mounted +State police clad in black raincoats and hats. The official intent was +scarcely that of honoring the dead, yet the escort was not unlike that +given to dead kings. To the thought of Mary Donovan and other members +of the Defense from a letter returned the words of Vanzetti: “Such +treatment formerly was given only to saints and kings.”... All those +eight miles from Scollay Square to Forest Hills the thunder of those +hoofs beat upon the ears of those who mourned. + +At first, Alfred Baker Lewis said, the attitude of the police was +strictly neutral. But when they saw that a procession of some fifty +thousand people had determined, despite the rain, to pay honor to these +two martyrs their attitude changed. From the start a procession unique +in the history of human experience both for numbers and in the length +of the route covered encountered difficulties. First the police had +heavy trucks set close together all across the street and directly +in the way of the line of march. In the attempts of the marchers to +get through or around obstacles, one man was injured by being pushed +through a plate glass window. But the marchers did get around the +trucks and reform the procession. + +In the gray and rain of Scollay Square, where fog was drifting in and +pools of water were collecting, the police charged the line and started +clubbing, and a detail of the mounted police rode straight into the +column. A man on the sidewalk, indignant at the unprovoked attack on +the marchers, swore at the police--to do this to the Boston police +is to break much more than a tenth of the decalogue--and the man was +arrested and taken to the police station. By such methods the police +succeeded in “clearing” Scollay Square, but they could not keep it +cleared. Quietly, steadily, the thousands of mourners came on, some +filtering through the police cordon, others making detours, and again +forming a column of solid ranks, arm linked to arm, twenty abreast. + +Past Scollay Square, a brave salute to the police, out came the red +arm bands. And now arm linked in arm, step perfect, the inscription on +those arm bands repeated, repeated, repeated, itself in rhythm to the +marching multitudes: “+Remember--Justice Crucified! August 22, 1927.+” +The long wavering line of flame under rain,--human hearts, crimson +flowers, the undulating thousands of red arm bands, the hearses bearing +the bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti,--the great cortège of Sorrow went on. + +Upon the steps and within the portico of Saint Paul, from the Common, +the waiting throngs saw them coming. In the minds of those who watched +and those who marched echoed the words of the Silent Ones behind +whom the great concourse was marching: “Our words--our lives--our +pains--nothing! The taking of our lives--lives of a good shoemaker and +a poor fish peddler--all! That last moment belongs to us--that agony is +our triumph!” + +The sweeping tide of human beings had moved slowly up Hanover Street, +packed from curb to curb behind those shining hearses, behind the +crimson flowers, and was whittled at by the police during the entire +eight miles to Forest Hills Cemetery. Undaunted by either violence or +the black skies gathering more and more rain, the cortège reformed +again and again, and went on,--the human spirit of justice establishing +its integrity and achieving in sorrow its purpose. The love of those +who marched was not unlike the love of Those Two borne along the miles +of all that way, and from whose dead lips, age after age, would be +scattered the truth for which they had given their lives, “ashes and +sparks ... among mankind.” + +On that day those who seemed to be in control were the Boston police, +and they did their bit towards educating the multitudes. It was not, +perhaps, the education which they thought they were giving. It was +rather like a lesson Louis Rabinowitz saw taught at the corner of the +Boston Common and of Charles Street. As the March of Sorrow, heckled +by the police, struggled forward, the “pupil” whom the police took in +hand was a typical American youth,--100 per cent American, clothes and +brains. Pressed against the picket fence of the Charles Street Mall he +was much amused at the plight of the funeral cortège as, desperately, +the marchers sought to meet every new obstacle the police set for them, +and at the same time keep order in the marching ranks. + + “A sudden charge of the mounted Cossacks,” wrote Louis Rabinowitz of + the Young People’s Socialist League, “brought a smile to his lips. + The slow stiffening of the workers’ lines in the face of vicious + clubbings drove away the smile, to leave instead a wrinkling of the + brows and a look of wonder and respect. As though he wondered at such + courage, and whence it could have sprung. What was the matter? Why + were all these people suffering like that? + + “‘Hey, you! Get away from there and run!’ It was the snarling vicious + growl of some mad creature. The youth quickly turned his head and saw + not far distant from himself a beefy, bristling, ‘flat-foot,’ fresh + from clubbing the mourners. + + “The young man began to obey the threatening commands and slowly + walked away from the fence to proceed along the path. + + “‘Run, I told ye--and keep running. I’ll smash your face in for + you!’ As he uttered this threat the cop rapidly moved after the + youth. The latter, noticing over his shoulder as he walked the + onslaught of the lumbering beef-face with his ever-swinging club, + began to run. Out of breath, the Boston police ‘club-swinger’ stopped + and fiercely shook his fist at the retreating back of his escaping + quarry. + + “As the lad ran the look of wonder disappeared from his face. In its + place there grew an expression of grim determination crowned with + the certainty of hope. And as he joined the line of plodding workers + he uttered a single significant remark: ‘Now I know why you are + fighting.’” + +But on that day, in those hours, greater than those police masters +was the Master of all Men. “Eloquent, just and mightie Death” had +persuaded. Before the eyes of this American boy, Death was drawing +“together all the farre stretchèd greatness, all the pride, crueltie, +and ambition of man,” and was showing him not only the visible symbols +of courage and brotherhood but also the symbols of stupidity and +injustice. + +The police continued to “maintain order,” carving off from the cortège +by every strategy in their power and by force large numbers of the +marching thousands until what had been fifty thousand at Hanover Street +became scarcely two hundred marchers at Forest Hills. They ordered +opposite tides of traffic into the marchers, they even diverted traffic +into the cortège, they threw trucks across the way, they rode straight +into by-standing groups of sympathizers, and they clubbed. All that +those who marched wanted was to reach Forest Hills, there to pay the +last deference to Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. They did not +want trouble. And they kept on doggedly, forming and reforming in what +Blanche Watson in _The New Leader_ has called their “plodding glory.” +And marching, marching, marching, beside them, unseen, unheard, was +another army,--all the phantasmagoria of many forces, of hope, of +despair, of hate, of love, the death, the life, of all the ages through +which mankind, dusty and travel-stained, has fought his way upwards. + +Towards the close of the march the struggles of the cortège with the +police became more acute. But under the leadership of Rose Pesotta and +Alfred Baker Lewis the sympathizers kept on, the police making last +brutal efforts to incite them to violence. More than seven of the eight +miles had been covered in the rain. + +Arm linked in arm they were swinging on bravely and silently when +suddenly at Forest Hills Elevated Station came the sharp command, “Get +over there!” + +And police charged them, together with an automobile from the station +house in which a patrolman rode down the crowd. Not a half minute was +given the procession to obey before clubs began to swing and marchers +to sprawl. There were curses, blows and kicks, and the guardians of +law and order drew their guns. They were “keeping order,” of course! +Anybody could see that, as by this last violence upon the worn men and +women they succeeded in cutting away more than two-thirds of the brave +and peaceful remnant of all the thousands. + +Within almost a stone’s throw of Forest Hills Cemetery, that “third” +slipped into a side street, and reformed.... Again, arm linked to arm, +they swung on through the rain and the fast approaching night, in +perfect order, silent except for their marching steps, on they plodded +that last half mile to the Cemetery where a cordon of state police +denied them entrance. They had kept on to the end. And now, the rain +coming down in torrents, they stood with bared heads before the closed +gates. + +There, too, by the Walk Hill entrance stood Professor Ellen Hayes of +Wellesley, and some of her friends. In an automobile they had joined +the funeral procession. But endlessly harassed by the police, they had +detoured and gone directly to the Cemetery. They stood there by the +gates, watching the police jamming and hustling the throngs. They saw +the hearses come and enter the gates. Far behind those hearses and the +following cars brilliant with flowers, they had seen that gallant few +coming, all, as Miss Hayes wrote in _The Relay_, “whom the police and +the rain and the long miles had allowed to come through. Brilliant red +bands gleamed on their arms.” In silence, wishing that they, too, might +have been equal to the long hard march, this group of elderly women +saluted them. + +Now within the Chapel the quiet bodies waited till a woman’s tremulous +voice should speak a few unforgettable words in their memory, and +the bodies should be taken into the retort rooms there, again, to +be baptized by fire, yet never to the end to be free from police +surveillance. For even in the Cremation Chamber was to be a parade +of police joking and laughing as fire reduced all that was mortal of +Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti to ash. + +The “last” moment had come. The little Chapel would hold no more than +a hundred. Every seat was filled, and a few stood about the walls. +Haggard and white, as those who stand at the foot of the cross, Mary +Donovan read words, written by Gardner Jackson, that for fearless +grandeur will be remembered with the spoken and written words of Nicola +Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti: + + “+Nicola Sacco+ and +Bartolomeo Vanzetti+, you came to America + seeking freedom. In the strong idealism of youth you came as workers + searching for that liberty and equality of opportunity heralded as + the particular gift of this country to all new-comers. You centered + your labors in Massachusetts, the very birthplace of American + ideals. And now Massachusetts and America have killed you--murdered + you because you were Italian anarchists. + + “A hundred and fifty years ago the controlling people of this state + hanged women in Salem--charging them with witchcraft. The shame of + those old acts of barbarism can never be wiped out. But they are as + nothing beside this murder which modern Massachusetts has committed + upon you. The witch-burners were motivated by the superstitious fear + of an emotional religion. Their minds were blinded by their selfish + passion to reach Heaven. The minds of those who have killed you are + not blinded. They have committed this act in deliberate cold blood. + For more than seven years they had every chance to know the truth + about you. Not once did they even dare mention the quality of your + characters--a quality so noble and shining that millions have come + to be guided by it. They refused to look. They allowed the bitter + prejudice of class, position and self-interest to close their eyes. + They cared more for wealth, comfort and institutions than they did + for truth. You, Sacco and Vanzetti, are the victims of the crassest + plutocracy the world has known since ancient Rome. + + “Your execution is ‘one of the blackest crimes’ in the history of + mankind. It is that and more. Horrible enough would it be if the + killing of you had been ordered by the political and material powers + alone. How much more horrible it is to have this act sanctioned + and even blessed by those who pass among us as the leaders of + intellectual and spiritual power. The blatant exultation with which + they aided in your death is the final sign that the act of killing + you was the act of vengeance of one class--the class dominated by + worship of money and position--against you as symbols of another + class--the workers and all others aspiring to realize the true + meaning of life. + + “‘If it had not been for these things,’ said Vanzetti shortly before + his death, ‘I might have lived out my life, talking at street corners + to scorning men. I might have die, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now + we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in + our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, + for man’s understanding of man, as now we do by an accident. Our + words--our lives--our pains--nothing! The taking of our lives--lives + of a good shoemaker and a poor fish peddler--all! The last moment + belongs to us--that agony is our triumph!’ + + “By that triumph we are fired with an everlasting fire. Your long + years of torture and your last hours of supreme agony are the living + banner under which we and our descendants for generations to come + will march to accomplish that better world based on the brotherhood + of man for which you died. In your martyrdom we will fight on and + conquer.” + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[8] “America Arraigned,” edited by Lucia Trent and Ralph Cheyney. + +[9] For letters of Sacco and Vanzetti, _Vide_ “The Letters of Sacco and +Vanzetti,” edited by Marion Denman Frankfurter and Gardner Jackson, +Viking Press, New York. + +[10] Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Dana. + + + + +CHAPTER IV + +ROMAN HOLIDAY + + “From Heaven what sign? + What writing on the wall? + What whisper running along the wind that power and pride shall fall?” + +Joseph T. Shipley.+[11] + + +On April ninth, five months before, when sentence was pronounced upon +Sacco and Vanzetti, their spoken words had been wise and beautiful. As +the Defense Committee said of them: “No tremor was in their voices, +no uncertainty was in their bearing. Their eyes looked steadfastly +upon the averted face of him who pronounced their doom of burning in +the electric chair. Theirs was the complete fortitude of idealism and +innocence.” + +From the brief address of Sacco--barely five hundred words--return not +only the courage but also the courtesy in his generous reference to +Vanzetti as “my Comrade, the kind man to all the children.” And then +those final words spoken to Judge Thayer: “As I said before, Judge +Thayer know all my life, and he know that I am never been guilty, +never--not yesterday, nor to-day, nor forever.” + +After that came Vanzetti’s longer speech, answering why sentence of +death should not be passed upon him: “What I say is that I am innocent, +not only of the Braintree crime, but also of the Bridgewater crime. +That I am not only innocent of these crimes, but in all my life I have +never stolen and I have never killed and I have never spilled blood. +That is what I want to say. And it is not all. Not only am I innocent +of these two crimes, not only in all my life have I never stolen, never +killed, never spilled blood, but I have struggled all my life, since I +began to reason, to eliminate crime from the earth.” + +Then had come the pause in which Vanzetti had paid tribute to Debs: +“There is the best man I ever cast my eyes upon since I lived, a man +that will last and will grow always more near to and more dear to the +heart of the people, so long as admiration for goodness, for virtues, +and for sacrifice will last. I mean Eugene Victor Debs.... He has said +that not even a dog that kills chickens would have found an American +jury to convict it with the proof that the Commonwealth has produced +against us.” + +These two “criminals” were like that other “criminal” Debs of whom +Clarence Darrow said that his only weakness was his honesty. + +And then another pause, this time in courteous apology because +Vanzetti must speak some harsh words to Judge Thayer: “I am sorry to +say this because you are an old man, and I have an old father.” + +Finally had come the close on these ringing words: “I am suffering +because I am a radical and indeed I am a radical; I have suffered +because I was an Italian, and indeed I am an Italian; I have suffered +more for my family and for my beloved than for myself; but I am so +convinced to be right that you can only kill me once but if you could +execute me two time, and if I could be reborn two other times, I would +live again to do what I have done already.” + +To men like Dr. Dewey and Dr. Morton Prince, having within their grasp +mental tools by which to test the guilt or innocence of those accused +of crime, that Dedham courthouse might well have seemed but the cave +of men living some twenty thousand years ago and the “law” the club +which those primitive men had wielded. At the end of “Psychology and +Justice,” published in the _New Republic_, Dr. Dewey writes: “The +committee’s sole reference to the conduct of Mr. Thompson is that, upon +occasion, his conduct indicated that ‘the case of the defense must be +rather desperate’ for him to resort to the tactics attributed to him. +Well, events, in which the committee had their share, indicate that +the plight of the defendants was indeed desperate; and Mr. Thompson, +above all others, had occasion to realize how tragically desperate. +But, quite apart from the committee’s own conviction of the guilt +of the accused, it was known to them that Mr. Thompson was equally +convinced of their innocence; that he was conservative in his social +and political views; that, at great sacrifice of time, of social and +professional standing, he had made a gallant fight for the accused +out of jealous zeal for the repute of his own state for even-handed +justice. Yet their sole reference to him is by way of a slur. I see +but one explanation of such lack of simple and seemingly imperative +generosity of mind.... Sacco and Vanzetti are dead. No discussion +of their innocence or guilt can restore them to life. That issue is +now merged in a larger one, that of our methods of ensuring justice, +one which in turn is merged in the comprehensive issue of the tone +and temper of American public opinion and sentiment, as they affect +judgment and action in any social question wherein racial divisions and +class interests are involved. These larger issues did not pass with the +execution of these men. Their death did not, indeed, first raise these +momentous questions. They have been with us for a long time and in +increasing measure since the War. But the condemnation and death of two +obscure Italians opened a new chapter in the book of history. Certain +phases of our life have been thrown into the highest of high lights. +They cannot henceforth be forgotten or ignored. They lie heavy on the +conscience of many, and they will rise in multitudes of unexpected ways +to trouble the emotions and stir the thoughts of the most thoughtless +and conventional.” + +During those thirteen days of Boston history there were men and women, +millions of them, all over the United States and in many parts of the +world who, not very well-read in history and without either philosophy +or experience to prepare them for such events as those dramatized, were +robbed of their faith in the integrity of national life, stripped of +confidence in American justice, and heart-broken by this spectacle of +brutality. Before their eyes they saw what Samuel Taylor Coleridge one +hundred years and more ago had described as the special danger of his +own Georgian era: “An inward prostration of the soul before enormous +power, and a readiness to palliate and forget all iniquities to which +prosperity had wedded itself.” + +These events they had to see without the perspective of history, +with its tracings of the wavering line of progress, to correct the +distortions of present suffering. It is they, honest, uncompromising, +only in part educated, and their children’s children, who will make +the revolutionists of the future. For the automatic answer of history +to injustice has ever been revolution. And they read about or saw or +were aware of acts of rejoicing that Massachusetts had taken the stand +she had both through her official and committee representatives and +unofficially, and that the men were “out of the way.” + +But one, and the latest, manifestation of this spirit to which +Heywood Broun calls attention in the February 15, 1927, issue of the +_Nation_ was the banquet at the Copley Plaza at which seven hundred +Dartmouth men cheered Judge Webster Thayer for five minutes. As +orgiastic as the persecution of Christians on some Roman holiday +must that wah--hoo--wahing of Dartmouth have sounded in many ears. +And, as Heywood Broun says, “If truth and right dogged every step of +Massachusetts justice in the case still there would be reason to object +to long cheers for an electrocution.”... For the sake of Dartmouth +history it should not pass unobserved that much of this cheering +was, it may be, not so much intended _for_ Judge Thayer as _against_ +Professor Richardson of Dartmouth who had testified to the judicial +impropriety of Judge Thayer’s statements out of court. + +Hardest of all was it for the idealistic young to see, and know, these +things. Denied by their youth that cool-headedness, logic, strategy, +experience, which they would have used towards ideal ends, they saw +these weapons being used by those in power towards the thwarting of the +issue of justice. Nevertheless, even as the older people had still +believed up to the end that strong organization might help, so had the +young believed that, with desperate effort, truth and goodness would +at last prevail. And both had seen their desperate efforts and their +measures fail. + +Even within the committees so bravely at work for the defense of +these two Italians, for those who cared to do so, it was possible to +observe angles of selfishness, egotisms struggling for personal power. +It was possible to hear words spoken which were foul or blasphemous, +statements made which were not based on truth. Although it is common to +do so, because of the sentimentalizing of Christianity, historically it +would be a mistake to assume that those who stand at the foot of the +cross, whether in the first century or the twentieth, are blameless. +If, later, those who not only had come together but who had worked +together fell apart, even fell to quarreling, that was not what +mattered. What did matter was that for the time being all, however +separated by class or character, were humane in intention; and all, +however hopeless the issue, struggled together for justice. + +To such a nucleus for constitutional justice as the Defense Committee +itself is, the seven bitter years had revealed the worst there was +to know about American politics and decadent aspects of capitalism. +With eyes wide open to the truth, Mary Donovan wrote: “Do not worry +about me--I may go to jail and I may not, but however my case ends we +all realized that the authorities would demand some payment, for our +agitation of the past years, and who would pay, but those of us who +have never received, or expected to receive, any compensation but the +knowledge that we were and are right?” + +The Committee and its attorneys felt, and will always feel as no one +else can, the mental courage of Sacco and Vanzetti. This strength +Attorney Thompson, in no sense sharing their social views, has set +down about Vanzetti in a record published in the February, 1928, +_Atlantic Monthly_: “In this closing scene the impression of him +which had been gaining ground in my mind for three years was deepened +and confirmed--that he was a man of powerful mind, of unselfish +disposition, of seasoned character, and of devotion to high ideals. +There was no sign of breaking down or of terror at approaching death. +At parting he gave me a firm clasp of the hand and a steady glance, +which revealed unmistakably the depth of his feeling and the firmness +of his self-control.”... + +In August, during these thirteen days of indecision, many generous +minds grieved because they thought men’s hearts were dead. Whether +these minds were liberal or conservative or radical, they were alike +in seeing that in this crisis of injustice the selfishness of class +warfare and social ignorance were in the ascendant. Here were race +hatreds, and their senescent forms in the institutionalism of court +and state. Here, working their will, were unscrupulous ambitions. Here +were riches which had lost all expression of fellowship and sympathy, +as wealth once held in trust for the common good in this country had +kept them, and as wealth here and there still keeps them. John Maynard +Keynes has said in _The End of Laissez-faire_: “I do not know which +makes a man more conservative--to know nothing but the present, or +nothing but the past.”... Here was a death struggle. Here were human +beings who were good about many things but ungenerous or bad about this +issue of justice. Here were indignant angry friends of justice who +spoke of the Clayton anti-trust act in one breath with its guarantee of +free speech and free assemblage, and in the next spoke of the vengeance +of God. Here, too, were men and women whose only wish was to get rid of +men of the Sacco and Vanzetti type. + +And, most hopeless reaction of all, coming out of this chaos the +thought: “Thank God, it is over!” + +Probably the lowest point in the spirit of _laissez-faire_ was reached +in an editorial in the _Boston Herald_ published the morning after +the execution. The caption of this leading editorial was: BACK TO +NORMALCY. Its concluding paragraph read: “It has been a famous case. It +has attracted the attention of the world to an extent quite without +recent precedent. It has presented phases which no serious student of +our public affairs could fail to regret. _But the time for all such +discussion is over. The chapter is closed. The die is cast. The arrow +has flown. Now let us go forward to the duties and responsibilities of +the common day with a renewed determination to maintain our present +system of government, and our existing social order._”[12] + +And there we are with the good old word “tradition” implicit in +“present system” and “existing social order”! The _Herald_ says nothing +of the records of history. And for all its consciousness of evolution, +this editorial--probably written as the men were being executed--might +as well have come from the mountains of Tennessee. “Tradition” should +be a means of communication, a bridge by which human beings step +forward into the future. As soon as it denies the principle of growth +and forbids progress, in short as soon as tradition becomes a barricade +and not a bridge, is it an advantage to human intelligence? + +What so often many had read about and glibly discussed, in the +execution prepared for and postponed and prepared for, they had seen +dramatized in class warfare and race hatred. No intelligent student +of issues during that time could fail to perceive decadence in act +after act. The mighty, and triumphant, wish to put an end to Sacco +and Vanzetti was not only an act of hatred for these poor Italians +but also the desire to maintain the _status quo_ in which wealth and +privilege should be able to go upon their way of the world untroubled. +Here was the creed of our present economic system--a creed become +hereditary--taught to the full extent of its powers. Violation by +opinion of the established order of things had been punished by death. +It is not improbable that many who loathed the act done nevertheless +pitied some of those men who did this thing,--men familiar with the +struggles of conscience and the desire to do right, men of moral +integrity, yet caught in this Roman holiday of a brutal economic order +as Marcus Aurelius had been caught in the Roman way of celebration, +which turned Christians into burning torches. Marcus Aurelius, good +and innocent, even tender, “persecuted” the Christians who were good +and innocent. The gravamen of the charge against Marcus Aurelius is +that he allowed the Roman Constitution, with its cruel criminal laws, +to take its way. It is a fact that Roman Stoics of the days of Marcus +Aurelius did not know how pure, how innocent were those Christians +whose persecutions they permitted. It is probable that some of those +who are in power to-day do not know how pure and innocent are some of +these radical idealists. + +This was not in Rome but in Boston. This was not the Roman attitude +toward Christianity. This was the attitude of a Christian government +towards the attempt to educate other men along the lines of political +development. These Italians were “pagan” because they were radical, and +the authority which persecuted them was Christian. And the educational +and political elements of the case were “framed” to robbery and murder. +To-day Senator Wheeler knows whether the frame-up is _de facto_ in this +country or not. It has been rather a long history of frame-ups from the +Chicago anarchist cases to the recent disturbances in Colorado and New +Jersey in which corporations either through their own armed guards or +through controlled local police, have carried on warfare reminiscent of +the Middle Ages, bulwarked by a perverted use of the injunction. The +long list of cases sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union adds +its testimony particularly to the prejudiced attitude of many of the +lower courts. + +Only the sentimentalist could have failed to see that the truth, +because it was the truth, had no power whatever to stay these +executions. The sole advantage during those days of indecision which +truth had was not temporal, but that, although truth might be “killed” +symbolically in the patient bodies of two humble Italian idealists, it +could not be put out. Consumed by the fire of their own acts these two +would rise again. Immortality by means of the resurrection of truth +was theirs, and they knew it. Yet a strange thing had been done: in +a country which had been established by those who were radicals in +religious opinion, two who were radical in political thought had been +executed. + +It was plain that those in power did not hold their authority in +what has been called “the consent of the governed,” but from some +other control. For, as we could see, the “governed” had no power +whatsoever. We were put through the gesture of being consulted, of +being considered. We were kept in a “politic” state of hopefulness. +But behind it all something we never saw, that never became definite, +was in control, and waiting to strike. And it was equally plain that +whatever this Power was, it considered these executions politically, +socially, morally, desirable. For some this Presence incorporated +itself in the word “Reaction.” For others it found explanation in a +“Fear Complex” or “Capitalism” or “Class Warfare.” For still others it +found exact definition in what James Oneal has called “the drift to +Empire,” and in which Sacco and Vanzetti were but one episode in more +than fifty years of preparation. + +During those days in Boston the police were an outward manifestation +of the real mastery. No doubt many of them were performing what they +thought was their duty and probably their sense of duty was in many +instances not consciously servile. Yet they, too, were prostrating +themselves before a Presence that was never seen,--a Presence of +Enormous Power. And for the sake of “Prosperity” they were ready to +palliate and forget. This Presence was not the Governor, though he +represented it. It was not President Lowell and the Committee, though +they expressed it. It was not Chief of Police Crowley though his +uniform seemed to be its livery. It was not Warden Hendry though he was +its kindly jailer. It was not even Judge Webster Thayer though he was +the mouthpiece of its law.... Is it not true that it is society which +prepares the so-called “crime,” and that the “criminal” is but the tool +which executes it? And when “society” prepares two innocent men for +the electric chair what is to be said of the inversions of so-called +justice?[13] + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[11] From “America Arraigned,” edited by Lucia Trent and Ralph Cheyney. + +[12] The italics are mine. + +[13] Conspicuous among friends who were not only loyal over many years +to the condemned men but who also understood many of the forces at work +in this inversion of so-called justice were Alice Stone Blackwell, +Mrs. Cerise Jack, Sacco’s teacher of English; Amleto Fabbri, Secretary +of the Defense Committee, 1924-’26; Mrs. Gertrude L. Winslow, Leonard +Abbott, Roscoe Pound, Francis H. Bigelow, Mrs. Elsie Hillsmith; +Mrs. Virginia MacMechan, Vanzetti’s teacher during six years of his +imprisonment; Maude Pettyjohn, Mrs. E. A. Codman, and H. W. L. Dana. +For letters to these and others among the greatest friends of the +condemned men, _vide_ “The Letters of Sacco and Vanzetti,” edited by +Marion Denman Frankfurter and Gardner Jackson, The Viking Press. + + + + +CHAPTER V + +OUT OF CHAOS + + “Let us make new propellers, + Go past old spent stars + And find blue moons on a new star path. + + “Let us make pioneer prayers. + Let working clothes be sacred. + Let us look on + And listen in + On God’s great workshop + Of stars ... and eggs ...” + +Carl Sandburg.+[14] + + +At the time of a recent presidential election, a straw vote was taken +by the faculty of a midwestern college, which included the straw vote +of thirty-five of the professors. Seven voted for Cox, twenty-five for +Harding, and three for Debs. + +Shortly afterwards an agitated citizen met one of the vote tellers on +the street. + +Said the citizen, “Is it so that three of the teachers voted for Debs?” + +“Yes,” said the teller, “I counted the votes, and I know that three of +the teachers voted for Debs.” + +“Are they going to let them stay?” asked the agitated citizen. + +“Twenty-five voted for Harding,” came the reply, “and they are going to +let them stay.” + +And with the years do not the implications, both ways, of that answer +seem to have increased rather than diminished? + +Here is Billy Sunday denouncing, in some of the mildest of his phrases, +the radical,--in this particular case Eugene Victor Debs: “I’m dead +against the radical in whatever form he may appear. He’s the bird I’m +after. America, I call you back to God!” + +And then this is the way Billy Sunday goes on to call America back +to God: “These radicals would turn the milk of human kindness into +limburger cheese and give a pole cat convulsions. If I were the +Lord for about five minutes, I’d smash the bunch so hard--” but the +remainder is too coarse to repeat. + +So much for the generous and sensitive English of a reactionary Billy +Sunday! + +Here is the Radical Debs speaking in condemnation of the Bolshevistic +use of power in the execution of the Czar and his family: “I recoil +with horror and shame that such savagery should be committed in the +name of Socialist justice that has for its aim and purpose the setting +up of the higher standards of human conduct. I can find no extenuating +circumstances that would allow me to take the life of my bitterest +enemy.... We shall not wrest any justice or kindness out of life by +emulating the practices of those whose barbaric method we now denounce.” + +In one respect--possibly in several--society to-day is scientifically +in advance of that public which some four hundred years ago killed +Galileo because he performed a scientific experiment. And it does +not make torches out of Christians for festal reasons on our “Roman” +holidays. + +But what happens when there is any attempt to perform a political +experiment? What happens when men seek to educate other men by means +of the soap box and literature in the possibilities of what they think +would be better ways and better forms of government? The unstated +reply to this question is the story of the end and the beginning at +Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Headquarters. + +The future will see that this case was a free-speech case. The present +denies this. Are men to make progress in freedom of religious thought +and speech? Are men to make progress in scientific ways, go forward in +science, but in politics, in government, have no freedom? Who stood +over Pasteur to tell him what he should do with his microscope? And yet +over three hundred years ago men killed Galileo because he tried to +perform experiments with falling bodies. + +Some two thousand years ago the Roman people said, “It is more +expedient that one man should die than the people should perish +through the corrupting influence of Jesus.” + +A few hundred years earlier the multitude had put Socrates to +death because he had said he did not believe in the gods the city +believed in. In science, using scalpel and microscope, test tube and +spectroscope, men are permitted to go forward. In government, in +political science, is society to condemn all those men and women to +prison in whom the spirit of research lives?[15] + +These are some of the questions being asked by intelligent minorities +everywhere. And it is not impossible that as the result of those +thirteen days in Boston intelligent minorities, whether liberal +or conservative, were strengthened in purpose and confirmed in +determination to see that at all costs should be tried the experiment +of a free people governing themselves by means of free assemblage, +free discussion, and legislation that should be just to all,--what Dr. +Holmes has described as “the new mobilizing of conscience for the work +ahead.” + +“But,” the Popular Mind says, “the radical is dangerous.” + +Is he? What, anyhow, is the Radical? + +James Harvey Robinson writes in _The Journal of Philosophy, Psychology +and Scientific Methods_: “Some mysterious unconscious impulse appears +to be a concomitant of natural order. This impulse has always been +unsettling the existing conditions and pushing forward, groping after +something more elaborate and intricate than what already existed. +This vital impulse, _élan vital_, as Bergson calls it, represents +the inherent radicalism of nature herself. This power that makes for +salutary readjustment, or righteousness in the broadest sense of +the term, is no longer a conception confined to poets and dreamers, +but must be reckoned with by the most exacting historian and the +hardest-headed man of science.” + +In art, at least, radicalism means that nuclear source from which +spring the emotional and social evolution of art. And, one suspects, +in the life of government its meaning is not so very different. +When those in control of government begin to use dead forms of past +experience--say, legal--because they are without sufficient force +or sufficient idealism to create new forms of use to life as men +must live it in the present, then follow injustice and tyranny and +death. It is inevitable that selfish men should fear the change from +one economic order to another. And when for over a hundred years +both the philosopher and the economist have buttressed the practical +individual in believing that in pursuing his own good he is benefiting +the community as a whole, it is small wonder that he insists on the +righteousness of his individualistic or capitalistic point of view. It +is unquestionably true, not alone in political ways but also in some +official “religious” ways, that the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti +had been greeted with exultation. John Hays Hammond’s letter of praise +to Governor Fuller will be remembered. Bishop Lawrence’s letter to +Governor Fuller will not be forgotten,--the congratulations of a +Bishop of Christ for the decision to kill two men. What light do those +“congratulations” throw on what many had believed to be the move for +investigation on the part of liberal opinion? + +For the present the power lies in the hands of individualists and +reactionaries, and many social radicals--as, for example, Mooney and +Billings--are in prison, or they have died from the hardships of their +prison experience, or have been executed. The bogy of fear--since they +are not conscience free--possesses many who are in power, and they find +a thousand subtle ways to infect the public mind with fear of those +changes which they themselves dread.[16] + +The execution at midnight on August twenty-second was no sudden and +hideous grimace of fate. The preparation for this act of injustice was +implicit in the history of over half a century. In an editorial in the +_New Leader_ for August 13, 1927, James Oneal wrote: “There comes a +time in the history of nations when various phases of their development +come to a focus and signify the need of change. The old order changeth +and the new order issues out of the old. The old faiths, old views, +old war cries that once served mankind no longer serve. They harden +into prejudice and become the handmaids of reaction and despotism. They +become imbedded in law, are sanctioned by courts, and become fetters +on human progress. Eventually the fetters are broken, we enter a new +epoch, mankind rejoices, progress continues until a new crisis is +brought because new faiths, views and war cries have again become old.” + +In this connection it might be well not only to remember Douglas and +Dred Scott, John Brown and Abraham Lincoln, but also _not_ to forget +Mitchell Palmer and his relation to the so-called “Red Raids.” To give +only one example, the Rand School books and furniture were destroyed +by Palmer’s Cossacks of the law, and men and women thrown down stairs +and out of windows. It might still be well to do what the _Nation_ +recommended as far back as 1921: “Turn the Light on Palmer.” The files +of the Department of Justice, opened on request for such a pitiable +psychotic type as the wife-murderer Remus, are still to be opened to +help in clearing the names of two innocent Radicals who have been put +to death. + +It is well _not_ to forget that in 1920 Salsedo, the friend of Sacco +and Vanzetti, was found smashed to pieces on the pavement fourteen +stories below the offices of the Department of Justice on Park Row +where Salsedo had been held _incommunicado_. Was Salsedo tortured +till he went mad and sprang out of the window? Or was he thrown out? +It should be remembered that Sacco and Vanzetti were trying to get up +a meeting about what Alfred Baker Lewis has called Salsedo’s “highly +curious death” when they were arrested. It is well not to forget that +to-day out in the Colorado coal fields, in the interests of justice (!) +peaceful picketers, having not even a club as weapon, have been shot +down by mounted troopers, and that women are being lassoed by these +guardians of the law as steers are lassoed. It is well to remember that +men and women are thrown into prison without even the formality of a +warrant, as Flaming Milka was after she had been lassoed and her wrist +broken by the brutal snapping of handcuffs upon her. + +Lincoln, facing the issue of the Dred Scott decision, said: “I believe +that government cannot endure half slave and half free.” This was said +at a time when the Supreme Court had decided that negroes could not be +considered as persons but only as property. That race issue now has but +passed a specious color line, is stalled on the political boundary, +and has gone forward--if it has!--only to rephrase itself economically +as to whether wage-earners are to be considered as persons or only as +property. It would seem that there has been an attempt to answer the +question in Colorado and Pennsylvania by the machine gun and state +police. + +Dr. Cohn implies in “Some Questions and an Appeal” that the +consciousness of radicalism in this country has become synonymous +with the consciousness of guilt. It is possible to change the words +“has become” to the words “has been made.” It is well not to forget +the Lusk law whose issues, although some of them have been officially +“killed,” are by no manner of means dead issues. Despite the repeated +courage of expressed opinion and action on the part of Alfred Smith as +Governor of New York State, if the constitutional rights of Socialists +cannot be barred openly, they are still taken from them illegally at +the polls and elsewhere. If there is no legal process by means of which +teachers can be gagged by loyalty tests, other means as efficient, if +less open, are being found. The question of the political control of +all schools in the state by means of the Board of Regents may come +up again, and assuredly will, if now dominant and selfish interests +succeed in herding people into the war which looms so ominously on our +horizon,--and not less so under the influence of President Coolidge’s +1928 Armistice Day speech. And finally, the creation and maintenance of +a police for the suppression of all forms of radicalism is now a fact +and not a theory, however uncodified such action may be on any book +of statutes.... Back in 1923 the _Outlook_ said that Lusk’s proposal +attacked “the fundamental principle of free government--liberty of +speech and of the press.... His proposal enlists against great names +and great memories of the past--the learning of Milton, the piety of +Jeremy Taylor, the satire of Voltaire, the eloquence of Lord Erskine. +It denies the axiom of liberty, that error is dangerless so long as +truth is left free to combat it.” + +To-day with a policy as consistent as it is fearless the _Outlook_ says +in the issue of November 14, 1928: “Because in the South Braintree +case, and in the Bridgewater case that preceded it, it was not only +Sacco and Vanzetti but also our administration of justice that was on +trial. If that has failed us then we should know it. We cannot afford +to regard any miscarriage of justice as a closed case. As we value +the future safety of society, our own safety and the safety of our +children, we must be ready to listen and learn.”[17] For these reasons +_The Outlook and Independent_ has reopened the case of Sacco and +Vanzetti first by checking up on the Bridgewater hold-up, and second +by checking up on the South Braintree crime. It is now at work on the +latter. + +In the issue of October 31, 1928, were published the signed confession +of Frank Silva who states that he and three others attempted the +Bridgewater hold-up, and corroborative evidence signed by James Mede +who helped plan the crime although he did not take part in it. In +order to substantiate the story further, Silas Bent and Jack Callahan +took James Mede and Frank Silva to Boston where in an automobile they +rehearsed again the crime. After their evidence was complete, Silas +Bent took it to Boston to ask Mr. Thompson whether the attorneys for +the condemned men were ignorant of the facts brought out in the two +confessions, or whether knowing the story, they did not believe it. + +In the issue of November 7, 1928, Silas Bent gives a long and valuable +interview with Mr. Thompson in which the latter tells of Mr. Moore’s +attempt to interest Governor Cox in James Mede’s story while James +Mede was in the state prison in 1922; of a meeting with James Mede +after his release from prison while Mr. Moore was still counsel; and of +a meeting with James Mede in July, 1927, when he begged James Mede to +make a clean breast of what he knew. + +On July 12, 1927, James Mede made a complete disclosure to Governor +Fuller after he had been assured that his confession would not be +communicated to the state police as he feared the revocation of his +license for boxing matches. After it, Governor Fuller called in Captain +Blye of the state police, asking Mede to repeat his confession to +Captain Blye alone, but indicating “hostility to Mede by words, tone +and manner.” James Mede became terrified and refused not only to +talk with Captain Blye alone but to repeat his story to the advisory +committee, which had already indicated “unwillingness to consider the +Bridgewater case.” + +In August James Mede was urged to make another attempt to save +Sacco and Vanzetti. He went to the office of Captain Blye with Dr. +Santosuosso, and offered to make a full confession but his information +was refused. Thus, according to _The Outlook and Independent_, for +five years officials in Massachusetts declined to investigate James +Mede’s story. Not only did Mr. Thompson and Mr. Ehrmann know the facts +regarding James Mede and Frank Silva but they urged the interview +with Governor Fuller and sent both to Governor Fuller and the advisory +committee a letter, dated June 15, 1927, in which was marshaled all +the available evidence bearing on the relation of these two men to +the Bridgewater crime. Mr. Thompson makes clear his belief that James +Mede told the truth, and he states that the conviction of Vanzetti +in the Bridgewater hold-up not only removed from everybody’s mind +the presumption of innocence but created a presumption of guilt both +against Vanzetti and his friend and associate, Sacco. + +_The Outlook_ wrote, “We must be ready to listen and learn.” The men +are dead but the issue of justice--that placard repeated and repeated +on the walls of the Defense Committee’s offices, +JUSTICE IS THE +ISSUE+--is not dead. There are many who believe that even from the +technical legal point of view the case for Sacco and Vanzetti is not +closed. Still more know, as well as believe, that not only has this +issue of justice _not_ been killed with the two men but rather that the +idea of justice has been given a new increase of life. + +This power of an idea was brilliantly illustrated in the October, 1927, +number of _The World To-morrow_ when under the caption of “Fathers and +Sons” without a line of comment, its editors set the following last +sentences side by side: + + +_Sacco’s Good-by to His Son_ + + “My son, do not cry. Be strong to comfort your mother. Take her for + walks in the quiet country, gathering wild flowers, resting beneath + shady trees, and visiting the streams and the gentle tranquillity of + the Mother Nature. + + “Do not seek happiness just for yourself. Step down to help the weak + ones who cry for help. Help the persecuted, because they are your + better friends. They are your comrades who fight and fall, as your + father and Barto fought and fell, to conquer joy and freedom for all + the poor workers.” + + +_Gary’s Advice to His Heirs_ + + “I earnestly request my wife and my children and descendants that + they steadfastly decline to sign any bonds or obligations of any kind + as surety for any other person or persons: that they refuse to make + any loans except on the basis of first-class, well-known securities, + and that they invariably decline to invest in any untried or doubtful + securities or property or enterprise or business.” + +The power of the ideal life has within these recent years found among +others a symbolic figure in Eugene Victor Debs. Upon our entrance into +the World War Debs, even as did Sacco and Vanzetti, upheld pacifism, +and in September, 1918, he was charged with violation of the Espionage +Act, and sent to prison. + +Debs would have nothing to do with that type of Christian hypocrisy +which flourishes a Sermon on the Mount in one hand while it operates +a machine gun with the other. Because of his pacifism, this “radical” +Gene Debs, always so fair and so gentle as an opponent, hating no +one, incapable of petty hatreds, was sentenced to spend ten years in +Atlanta Penitentiary. + +While he was in Atlanta, he heard of the negro, Sam Moore, shunned and +feared by all, and confined in the dungeon for a brutal murder. Debs +asked to be taken to him; and when he was, he went up to this man whom +no one dared approach and put his arm around him. Emerson has said, +“The only gift is a portion of thyself.” This gift Sam Moore received +from Debs, and it made a different man of that negro, changing him from +one who was shunned by all into one who was trusted. And it was that +same despised negro criminal who said, “Gene Debs is the only Jesus +Christ I ever knew.” Sam Moore is out now, leading an upright, working +life. Debs spent three years in Atlanta Penitentiary, trusted and +beloved. Then on Christmas Day, 1921, President Harding released him. + +This is a brief record of the activities of the man who was five times +nominated for President of the United States, one of those times being +while he was in prison when he polled a vote of almost a million. This +is the man who addressed audiences numbering 25,000, and who led the +simple, loving life of a modern Christ; and who, after two years of +study, became at the age of forty-two a Socialist. For Debs socialism +did not mean the doing away with capitalism; it meant, rather, capital +socialized, the brutality, the devastating individualism taken from +it,--a system of living in which man’s sociality, his brotherhood, +would be furthered, in which there would be no bitter and separating +contrasts between rich and poor. + +It was this Debs who said, “While there is a lower class, I am in it; +while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in +prison, I am not free.” + +It was this man of simple and genuine American traditions, born in an +American family in an Indiana town, a Socialist, of whom the anarchist +Vanzetti said in that last public speech he was to make: “There is +the best man I ever cast my eyes upon since I lived, a man that will +last and will grow always more near to and more dear to the heart of +the people, so long as admiration for goodness, for virtues, and for +sacrifice will last. I mean Eugene Victor Debs.” + +Vanzetti was not to hear Aldino Felicani saying of himself and Sacco, +“Ah, these are the very best men I must ever hope to know!” + +It is a truism that what a man is, what he does, in his own lifetime +influences his fellow men. The miracle of influence does not lie in +that fact. The miracle of influence lies, rather, in the continued life +of influence after the death of the individual who has exerted it. In +this is found the dynamics of an idea,--directed energy released by +means of an idea which controls social and moral movements, hundreds +of years, thousands of years, after its release,--a poem thousands of +years old to which the heart and mind of man still answer; or a Messiah +whose gospel becomes more potent with the marching centuries. It is +because he possesses such influence, great in a lifetime, but in death +potentially greater than in life, that the idealist, whether he be +liberal or conservative or radical, is, and always will be, dangerous. + +The lives of Sacco, Vanzetti, and Debs define, without words, the +significance, the character, and the service of the so-called +“radical.” In symbol the influence of these three, and the influence of +other idealists, will have more and more power as the years go on,--not +greatness gone or greatness vanished, but greatness growing, widening +out forever, their names already known to millions of human beings the +world over, inspiring symbols of courage and of loving-kindness. And in +such symbolism lies the miracle of human influence and its immortality. + +In pursuit of the ideal such radicals as Debs, Sacco and Vanzetti +know no fear. For them in the achievement of ideal ends no cost is +too great, neither slander nor loneliness, the loss of the means +of subsistence or of life itself. There is only one loss which the +idealist, whether he be conservative or liberal or radical, can mourn, +and that is the lost opportunity to speak for those who suffer and +are wronged, as Sacco and Vanzetti did suffer and were wronged. That +is why, to use the words of Powers Hapgood, hundreds of thousands in +protest of one sort or another want to “stand up and be counted.” +And, too, as the years go on this is why as symbol in ever-widening +circles of influence the work of the Defense Committee, the courage of +brave friends, as well as the martyrdom of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo +Vanzetti, over seven long years, and the conflict and defeat of those +last thirteen days, will become greater and greater in men’s eyes. + +Ralph Chaplin, who spent five years behind prison bars because he was +and is a man of peace, has in a poem expressed this courage of the +idealist: + + “Mourn not the dead that in the cool earth lie-- + Dust unto dust-- + The calm, sweet earth that mothers all who die + As all men must; + + Mourn not your captive comrades who must dwell-- + Too strong to strive-- + Each in his steel-bound coffin of a cell, + Buried alive; + + But rather mourn the apathetic throng-- + The cowed and the meek-- + Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong + And dare not speak!” + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[14] “Good Morning, America,” by Carl Sandburg, p. 26. + +[15] For brilliant discussion of political freedom _v._ “Some Problems +of Progress,” by Professor H.

Naughty Miss Smith! +“Democracy” as defined by Mr. Coolidge is an over-lord who can do no +wrong.

Scudder, professor +of English literature at Wellesley, had offended by suggesting in +the _Socialist Review_ in an article with the title “Socialism and +Character” (a vicious title because such a conjunction is impossible of +course!) that Christianity was being exploited for purposes not exactly +Christlike. It would seem that this is a thought that has occurred to +others, too. Freda Kirchwey had erred by showing a “Williams boy” that +Barnard women could define socialism. In addition to all this--_ab +urbe condita_ horror of horrors!--“a Mary Calkins, professor of +philosophy” (she is said to have voted for Debs for President at the +recent election) was guilty of “the creed of Internationalism.” Run in +on the same page (67) of that issue where the vice president stopped +was a short story, and a loitering eye stopped beside this phrase: +“‘Oh, little Eve,’ a sob caught in her own throat, ‘love never dies.’” +Usually the month they are born that kind of love and story do die. But +the kind of love at the heart of Internationalism seems to have spread +from its groups of brave pioneers, among whom was “a Mary Calkins,” and +become a world-wide movement. + +In the next article for July the “Coolidgisms” continued. The first +article had been illustrated by a grandmotherly looking wolf, +spectacles on nose--the better to see you, my dears!--and some plump +little lambs among which all college women will recognize themselves +instantly. But this second article has the picture of a thoughtful +young man resting elbow on desk, and resting coiled upon his shoulder +is a hooded cobra. Behind the cobra is a phantom-like figure--evidently +in the minds of Mr. Coolidge and the illustrator intended to be a +menacing figure. It is, rather, for the phantom looks as if under one +interpretation of democracy he had had to stand too long on an American +bread-line. + +In this issue Dr. Harry F. Ward of Union Theological Seminary and the +Rand School came in for special attention, one of the “Coolidgisms” +being that “the good is never self-existent.” An aspect of this +“Coolidgism” which has, perhaps, not occurred to Mr. Coolidge, is that +idealists--all too many for a “free” democracy--are having to prove +their devotion to the ideal all too often in prison. Some of the themes +of the same issue are “Red Pedagogy,” our public schools, and “Trotsky +_vs._ Washington.” And the article closes under the caption: “In Truth +our Freedom Lies.” This moral fiat will bear looking at twice, and +may cause amusement or discomfort to those who penetrate its sinister +inversions. + +The third article in the August issue, also we understand “collected” +for Mr. Coolidge and then signed by him, has a heavy muscular young +woman seated on the prostrate back of a Russian bear whose tongue is +lolling out helplessly as she jabs a two-edged sword down through the +back of Brother Bear. Study of the young woman’s features, her figure +and her draperies, suggests that she has just stepped down from the +Statue of Liberty in order to take this firm seat. Whether the bear is +_de facto_ or not the Soviet government, there are some weak “radicals” +who may find both the young woman and the sword of “righteous +authority” a bit brutal, or at least lacking in Franciscan symbols of +Christianity. + +“Righteous authority” is the pivot thought on which this third and +last article in the _Delineator_ by Calvin Coolidge is swung. During +many years now Mr. Coolidge has wielded supreme authority in the +United States, among other acts carrying on an unauthorized war +against Nicaragua, and lending his silence, if not his articles, to +an unauthorized man-hunt not only for Sandino outside the confines +of the United States, but also for brave liberals in the schools, +the colleges, the churches, and the labor organizations, who dare to +interpret the truth in the developing formulæ, political as well as +educational and religious, of a developing humanity. + + + + +APPENDIX B + + +There is one address comment upon which it would be my wish to omit +from any summary of forces working against freedom of speech. The man +who gave this address in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on June 30, 1927, to +the Kiwanis, is himself kind to little children. He has been thoughtful +of their welfare both in legislation and control; eager for the safety +of the road and for the reduction of needless human suffering. But the +author of this address, which appeared first in the _Boston Traveller_ +for June 30th and of which afterward some seventy-five thousand copies +were printed for distribution, leaves the student of these issues no +honorable choice except to analyze the speciousness of his statements. + +Frank A. Goodwin begins this address, which is said to have turned the +tide of public opinion--the tuning fork from which Governor Fuller +took his pitch--with an implied compliment on the Lawrence handling +of the strikes and the “Red murderers” who had been at that time in +action. Having established an association between the character of +what the Kiwanians had seen in Lawrence and Sacco and Vanzetti whom +they had not seen, Mr. Goodwin then took about one hundred and fifty +words out of the context of a speech by Edward H. James, the nephew +of William James, which had been given at Winter Garden in Lawrence +on May 27th. Mr. Goodwin refers to these words which, however bravely +meant, inevitably would be prejudicial in conservative eyes, as coming +from the “Socialist or Red.” Since when have Socialists and Soviets +been hand in glove? If they have been, then the altogether delightful +“glove” the Socialists have received in Russia has been wholesale +imprisonment! This is the first of those inaccuracies with which this +pamphlet teems, and on the basis of which public opinion was still +further influenced. + +The Socialists have themselves been time and again “broken” by the +_status quo_. But in turn as a political party they have broken +nothing,--not even the driest twig of government, for their ways are +the slow constitutional ways of education and legislation. But now, as +far as Frank Goodwin’s audience was concerned, he had tied together +“Red murderers” in the Lawrence strike, a nephew of William James, +socialism, Soviet Russia, and two philosophic Anarchists. Breaking +all the speed laws of reasoning, Mr. Goodwin then established the +guilt as murderers of Sacco and Vanzetti, sideswiping, as he did so, +“pacifists and their college professor allies” in preventing murderers +“from getting their just deserts.” Stepping on the gas, and traveling +at the rate of a Studebaker “Sheriff,” Mr. Goodwin whizzes down on +Professor Felix Frankfurter, Anita Whitney, Mooney and Billings, the +American Civil Liberties Union, R-revolution (!), and a few other road +obstructions. + +By this time Mr. Goodwin is getting his car so well in hand that it +will take almost any fence. He hurdles California, skids as he reaches +“some ministers of the Gospel,” rights himself, and lands squarely in +the midst of the “Lusk Investigating Committee” where he was really at +home. All might have been well, but pulling out the throttle, the then +Registrar of Motor Vehicles goes roaring forward onto a paragraph with +the caption of “WHOSE BRAINS GUIDE.” In this little paragraph, with +his careful use of words, he rolls James Maurer, tosses “the notorious +Elizabeth Gurley Flynn,” Dean Roscoe Pound, and a few tender little +Socialists like Morris Hillquit, Scott Nearing, Norman Hapgood, Upton +Sinclair, ricochets on Professor Frankfurter, and goes smash into Roger +Baldwin, William Z. Foster, and Lenin. + +His Sheriff being provided with a wonder-working bumper, despite +collision on he goes, though in exactly the opposite direction. +Neither geography nor the direction in which Mr. Goodwin is now going +is any longer a matter of importance to him. He happens to be in the +Connecticut Valley but does not know it! For just ahead he has seen +a group which he calls “College Professors Reds,” and he is in full +flight. Mr. Goodwin shows his genuine Americanism by baiting the +college professor, the worm of our national wit. What is more the +“professors” here excoriated are in the leading colleges for women. +But it is a long worm that has no turning, and apparently these poor +down-trodden things have turned. It would seem they are making a direct +assault on the human family, for Mr. Goodwin writes: + + “Another obstacle is the home and the family, and a widespread + assault is now being made on the sanctity of marriage and sacred + family relations, and it is being made with great success in + the leading colleges for women, and small wonder, for we find + the presidents and professors of most of them members of the + Baldwin-Foster committee, or its allied organizations.” + +Exactly what is this Baldwin-Foster Committee to which Mr. Goodwin +refers with such precision? But no matter, and there you are, all tied +up again and together: the “promiscuity” of our women’s colleges and +college women in general, and Sacco and Vanzetti. Pulling out the +choke of his trick car Mr. Goodwin rushes up over the Amherst Notch, +screeching through Old Hadley, making a record run down upon the +Hankins questionnaire in Northampton. He wrenches a few of this college +instructor’s misguided questions altogether out of their context, +thereby subverting their sociologic intention. Waving these questions +indignantly, Mr. Goodwin honks out this paragraph: + + “It may be interesting to note that almost 100% of the presidents and + teachers in these colleges for women have signed petitions for the + release of Sacco and Vanzetti. It might be well before long for the + various states to found and support colleges for women where decency + and morality will be taught.” + +Those who have taken a prurient interest in the questions selected by +Mr. Goodwin would do well to read the entire questionnaire. However +much the keen scholar who is at the head of Smith, and Mr. Hankins +himself, and other college professors, and presidents, may have +regretted what seems a lack of judgment shown in a few of the questions +asked, those who read the questionnaire as a whole will get, not the +false perspective of Mr. Goodwin’s methods but a true perspective of +the whole sociologic enquiry. And in conclusion, what in the world is +the connection between a class questionnaire and the Sacco-Vanzetti +frame-up? + +At the top of page 11 the Sheriff had grazed Dr. S. Parkes Cadman. +This was unfortunate, for now Mr. Goodwin, for reasons no one can +understand, Dr. Cadman least of all, is headed directly upon the +Garland Fund. He now charges Robert Morss Lovett, Lewis Gannett, Norman +Thomas, Roger Baldwin (of course!), the Fellowship of Reconciliation, +the Fellowship of Youth for Peace, and returns to the Federal Council +of Churches and Emma Goldman. This return must surprise many, including +Emma Goldman herself. Since when has her association with the Federal +Council of Churches been established as even the remotest possibility? +Mr. Goodwin is now going at a record-breaking pace. Two-thirds down the +page, his car fairly leaps into the air, and the one-time Registrar of +Motor Vehicles is heard speaking these words: + + ... “The time has come to stop treating this thing as a joke. An + organized minority, bent on evil, cannot be ignored, when led + by desperate, unscrupulous, able men, with unlimited money, and + particularly when aided, regardless of their motives, by those who + control our colleges, and the Federal Council of Churches.” + +Mr. Goodwin, now being profoundly stirred, is at his best in such +penetrating remarks as this: “An organized minority, bent on evil.” +Will some of the members of the Federal Council of Churches, Dr. Cadman +and Bishop McConnell, for example, please step forward and explain why +they are so naughty! And after they have been heard, will a judicious +selection from the Presidents of the demoralized colleges for women, +President Neilson, President Woolley, President MacCracken, please +explain to an anxious public why, despite the fact that no one of them +is even that mildest of all “Reds,” a constitutional Socialist, they +are always called “Red”? Is the _Manchester Guardian Weekly_ right +when it says: “There are, perhaps, too many societies of one sort or +another in the world already, but there seems to be a real need for +one addition--a Society for the Protection of Good Americans from the +Publicity which is Awarded to the Others.” Surely, no matter what +Mr. Goodwin and some thousands among other notable groups such as the +Daughters of the American Revolution owe them, by way of apology, the +college presidents must understand that they owe the public a pleasant +explanation for the reasons why Mr. Goodwin and others should be +allowed to slander them. + +But the Registrar of Motor Vehicles and his Sheriff are growing tired. +Despite the fact that up and down several pages he has been scooping +the Connecticut Valley, Mr. Goodwin failed to refer to Waldo Cook and +the _Springfield Republican_, and none have done more valiant service +for freedom of speech and justice than these two. With weariness there +comes upon Mr. Goodwin the meditative spirit. He is slowing down; he is +going to shut off his motor; and one of the boldest drives to demolish +truth ever undertaken is almost over,--certainly since the Mitchell +Palmer, Lusk and _Delineator_-Coolidge days. As he dreams, peaceful +voices are heard, and he invokes the American Legion, Veterans of +Foreign Wars, Spanish War Veterans, and other such non-militant (!) +organizations. Reaching the last page all are found joining hands with +the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is a pretty picture of +accord, except for the fact that one is left wondering whether even the +genial Daughters would have quite enough hands to go around.... + +In her series of “Blue Menace” articles which appeared in the +_Springfield Republican_ from March 19 to 27, 1928,[18] Elizabeth +McCausland has given clearly the factors which lie behind the +so-called “blacklists” and the final outbursts of the D.A.R.: the +activities of the Palmer deportation raids, the Lusk legislative +committee, the Key Men of America, the Industrial Defense Association +with Headquarters at Boston, the Massachusetts Public Interests League, +together with the activities of many other reactionary organizations, +whose use of data was often as inaccurate as it was reactionary. + +Is it on the basis of such carefully compiled data as these by Mr. +Goodwin that the public is to draw its conclusions with regard to the +value of the service of our educational and religious organizations, +and with regard to the guilt or innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti? In +such material as that cited is the level of a primitive mentality, the +taboos and spooks, specters and witch doctors of savages,--in short a +reversion to physical levels down to which graft and greed, selfishness +and sensuality, are fast taking the American public. Is it this +senescence of the reasoning power that is to convince people at large +that idealists--sneered at by the business interests of the country--in +education and religion and government are murderers and criminals? + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[18] Now compiled in pamphlet form under title of “The Blue Menace,” +and published by the _Springfield Republican_.

Columbia University + + + + +BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE + + +The uncertainty in the minds of multitudes of men and women here and +abroad as to the exercise of our American institutions of justice will +make many of the fair-minded, whether conservative or liberal, eager to +read or page through some of the outstanding reports, books, articles +and editorials on the subject. + +Among these should be listed: The Lowell and Fuller reports;[19] Felix +Frankfurter’s, “The Case of Sacco and Vanzetti”; Eugene Lyon’s, “The +Life and Death of Sacco and Vanzetti”; John Dos Passos’s, “Facing +the Electric Chair”; “The Letters of Sacco and Vanzetti,” edited by +Marion Denman Frankfurter and Gardner Jackson; “America Arraigned,” +an anthology of poems by some fifty American poets, edited by Ralph +Cheyney and Lucia Trent;[20] in the _New Yorker Volkszeitung_ from +April to the end of August, 1927, will be found in German some unusual +poems on Sacco and Vanzetti by Israel Kassvan; “There is Justice,” by +William Floyd; “Boston” by Upton Sinclair; “The Sacco-Vanzetti Case,” +Transcript of Records of the Case, Henry Holt and Company; and articles +and editorials published in the Defense Committee’s _Bulletins_, in +the _Arbitrator_, _Atlantic Monthly_, _Nation_, _New Leader_, _New +Republic_, _Outlook_, _The Relay_, _Springfield Republican_, and _The +Survey_. + +Finally when the Defense Committee has finished its editing of the +compiled Sacco and Vanzetti papers, students of these issues will +have an authoritative body of documents irreplaceable in the Defense +literature. In the meantime both the _Decision of Gov. Alvan T. Fuller_ +and _The Lowell Committee Report_ have been reprinted together and +without comment by the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Committee. This important +reprint, or any one of the books listed in this note, may be obtained +either from the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Committee, P. O. Box 93, Hanover +Street Station, Boston, Mass.; or from the Sacco-Vanzetti National +League. + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[19] Reprints of these reports, also reprints of Sacco-Vanzetti +articles by John Dewey, Arthur Warner, William Thompson and Alexander +Meiklejohn, may be obtained from the +Sacco-Vanzetti National League+, +Room 2008, 104 Fifth Avenue, New York City. +The Sacco-Vanzetti +National League+ is the permanent name of an association which was +hastily formed in August, 1927, through the efforts of Mrs. Jessica +Henderson, and others, to secure from the Department of Justice access +to the files for material bearing on the case of the two men under +sentence. The organization was not successful in this effort, but, +under the chairmanship of Dr. Robert Morss Lovett, it continues to +exist to keep the public informed of developments in the case, which it +does not regard as closed. It has in hand now the preparation of a book +on the Lowell Report, under the editorship of Professor Karl Llewellyn. + +[20] The following are the names of the fifty poets included in this +volume: + +John Haynes Holmes, David P.

How many of the rank and file of +professors and authors like myself would be +there? For me, behind, lay seven years of a +working friendship with the Committee.</p> + +<p>That noon of August ninth on the shore of +Lake Champlain a budge-budge-not struggle went +on for more than an hour. If I went, what could +I do? Would I not be merely one more person +under foot? At such moments were there not +always many to go? Had I not—as had so many +others with more influence—done what I could +over the seven long years to help the Committee +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</span>in its great work of educating the public to see +that the issue was justice to these two Italians, +one a shoe worker, the other a fish peddler! +And now that the work seemed, one way or another, +really over, why go?</p> + +<p>But would there be many of my kind? Had +not the report of President Lowell, President +Stratton and Judge Grant “sand-bagged” the educational +world? At least if I did go, there +would be nothing left undone to be regretted +some day. And this was the ultimate and perhaps +the last thing any of us could do for them, +for Sacco and Vanzetti were to be executed some +time after midnight on the tenth.</p> + +<p>On arrival in Boston the next morning, I found +that a taxi taken from any station, any public +stand or any hotel brought a man up to book +your destination and the number of your taxi. +Only from my Club was this ceremony omitted. +A traffic survey then under way in Boston may +or may not have been responsible for such a thirst +to know every destination. At least on that day +in that city where once I had prepared for college, +while I dreamed about Emerson and Margaret +Fuller and met such great liberals as Colonel +Higginson and Professor John Fiske, it was +impossible not to be amused at the anxiety my +destinations must, over some eighteen hours, have +caused those booking men employed by “protected” +Boston, for I came and went steadily +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</span>morning, afternoon and night among the very +places which were taboo and under guard. It +would also have been impossible not to have enjoyed +the Boston police on that day. They were +such nice-looking, well-dressed men who but +gained in interest by the fact that so many of +them seemed frightened. The officers on guard +at the door of Defense Headquarters regarded +me with a suspicious eye.</p> + +<p>Climbing the two flights of narrow stairs at +256 Hanover Street, passing through a group of +people too large for the narrow passageway and +the spare, bare outer office, I found myself in +the midst of “Headquarters.” On the walls was +one poster often repeated: <span class="smcap">Justice is the Issue!</span> +Side by side with this quiet statement were some +of the “unguarded” remarks made out of court +by Judge Webster Thayer. As I stood there, a +stranger among strangers, I saw many men and +a few women. Among the women was one who +was elderly. She was dressed in gray and the +face was good to look at. This—as I discovered +later—was Mrs. Glendower Evans, for whom +both Sacco and Vanzetti felt love similar to the +love they gave their mothers. There were a +number of younger women, and they were as +well-clad and as well set up as the Boston police. +What more could one woman say of other women +than that! Some of the men were small and +swart. Some of the men were tall and fair. +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</span>But of the exploded Lombroso criminal type who, +in popular opinion, throw bombs, not one was +seen,—not in the whole day long.</p> + +<p>Then one of the tall, fair men, having a name +well known to the art world, asked if there +were anything he could do for me. When +I inquired for Mary Donovan he said she was in +the inner office and he would tell her I was there. +I said no, not to call her, I would wait till she +came out. Almost immediately Miss Donovan +came out, a fine-looking dark Celt whose pale face +had in it not only strength but also warmth.</p> + +<p>When, a few minutes later, I told her my name, +Mary Donovan grasped my hand, saying “I am +so glad you have come!” and sent me into the +inner office to wait for her.</p> + +<p>In that inner office were four people: two men +and two women who received me politely. One +of the men gave me a chair. But, except for the +sending and answering of telephone calls and the +coming and going of telegraph and other messengers, +the quiet that reigned in the office when +I entered continued.</p> + +<p>The man who had given me a seat—his seat—sat +down on an unopened bale of pamphlets and +I noticed the slender, rather large, scrupulously +clean hands resting quietly on his knees; the wide, +dark, gentle eyes; the head becoming bald; the +brow criss-crossed with suffering and with care; +the strangely delicate, firm lips and chin. Where +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</span>had I seen that look of childlike spirituality before? +Ah, yes, ridiculous but a fact: in Italian +painting on many a celebrated bambino face.</p> + +<p>The other man, who went on steadily writing +at the center desk around which we were, represented +a type more familiar to me. The homely +face, the massive head, the thick abundant hair, +the look of concentration as he worked, young +still, already he resembled a responsible type of +American journalist. Who was he?</p> + +<p>At the stenographic desk before the one window +of that inner office sat a pretty “child” working +silently and rapidly addressing envelope after +envelope, for the new Bulletin of the Committee +was just off the press, containing among other +articles reprints of noble editorials from the +<cite>Springfield Republican</cite> together with a passionate +editorial by Heywood Broun in the <cite>New York +World</cite>. The “child’s” hair was a halo about her +head and her features were cameo cut. She +paused in her rapid work only to take or to give +a telephone call.</p> + +<p>The other woman, beside whom I was sitting, +was older than the “child” but still young. Except +for the man who had given me his seat and +myself the grave beings in that little office were +all young. And the quiet woman at my side with +her lovely uncropped auburn hair, the somewhat +oval features, had in her face not only the still +look of suffering, but also the only indestructible +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</span>youth,—that of goodness. As about that inner +office, so about her was an atmosphere of stillness +and of waiting. Except that she crumpled paper +occasionally and that she had a dry cough from +time to time, she made no motions and no sound.</p> + +<p>Who were they all?</p> + +<p>From beginning to end of that day at Headquarters, +whose passing was noted the world over +and on which more newspapers were sold than on +any other day in history, in that spare, shabby +center of the Defense struggle, it was plain from +the instant those offices were entered that every +dollar had been spent on the building up of public +opinion and on fees for defense, and that not a +penny had been wasted.</p> + +<p>Up in the State House on Beacon Hill there +were “banks” of telephone and telegraph wires +installed, to send Sacco-Vanzetti news over the +whole world; and at Charlestown was another +“bank” of wires which were to flash the Death +House scene to the ends of the earth. Here in +the dingy office in the very center of this fight for +justice, an office from which had come and would +come the legal fees to pay for success or failure, +there was but one wire which whistled or faded +as calls were received or sent. Why this interference +in such a place on such a day?</p> + +<p>And then Mary Donovan came back, and I met +those with whom I had been sitting in the little +office. He of the gentle eyes was Aldino Felicani, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</span>the devoted personal friend of the two condemned +men, the spirit behind the entire movement, and +the treasurer of the Committee. The young man +with the shaggy hair and massive head who was +still steadily writing was Gardner Jackson. And +the woman with the lovely uncropped auburn hair +and the intelligent, good face was Rosa Sacco.</p> + +<p>Apparently the seven years I had “served” Old +Testamentwise, in obscure, if faithful, work for +the Defense had won me in the minds of some of +the Committee a right of friendship which I did +not, I know, deserve. And it became my privilege +to spend in close association some of the most +momentous days in the Committee’s history.</p> + +<p>As that day “wore on”—never was phrase more +descriptive of the fixation of tragedy there symbolized +and apparent—groups came and went in +the outer office. The Defense Committee had +done everything possible to secure a hall where +these groups from New York City, Philadelphia, +and from towns in many near-by states could meet. +But not a landlord in Boston would rent them a +hall. Finally a church was secured. Immediately +police and patrol wagon were posted there. +Groups came and went at Defense Headquarters, +asking what to do, asking for instructions. Defense +Headquarters had no place to offer them +for meeting except the church or Socialist Headquarters +at 21 Essex Street.</p> + +<p>The day before thirty-nine men and women had +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</span>been arrested, among them Alfred Baker Lewis, +the Massachusetts State Secretary for the Socialist +Party, while engaged in silent picketing outside +the State House. The groups now coming in also +wished to picket. In their numbers were men and +women well known in art and in letters: Lola +Ridge, Art Shields, Ruth Hale, the wife of Heywood +Broun; Isaac Don Levine, whose articles on +Soviet Russia published in the <cite>New Republic</cite> had +been the first to tell the American public about the +new Russia; Edward H. James, a nephew of William +James; John Dos Passos, and many others.</p> + +<p>For a reply to the question as to when and +where they should picket, Defense Headquarters +sent them on to Alfred Baker Lewis at Socialist +Headquarters. It was apparent that Defense +Headquarters felt that their own work lay in the +hour to hour messenger service and telephone battle, +over that single “tapped” wire, which they +still waged in arousing public opinion. From the +beginning education for justice and not revolutionary +agitation had been their work. And under +Alfred Lewis’s leadership any group that wished +to picket would have good advice and sane control.</p> + +<p>I went over to Socialist Headquarters to get +advice with the rest.</p> + +<p>A group of girls called to me eagerly, “Are +you going out with us?”</p> + +<p>I answered, “I don’t know: I’m going to do +what Alfred Lewis tells me to do.”</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</span></p> + +<p>There he sat, young still although his hair is +turning gray, clear-cut of feature, with the look +of a boy who has just had a cool, long swim and +would like to have it all over again.</p> + +<p>He studied me and said, “That’s a Communist +crowd going out to picket. I’m not going myself +and I wouldn’t ask you to do what I myself am +not going to do. Wait! We may be needed more +later.”</p> + +<p>That settled it, and I went back to Defense +Headquarters where I might be of some use. But +the crowd went out. Forty-four men and women +were arrested. One courageous little woman, +Dorothy Parker, was roughly handled by officers +who bruised her neck and arms, marching her in +the middle of the street up three cobblestone +blocks.</p> + +<p>The mob which had been watching the picketers, +undisturbed and unarrested for “loitering,” +backed off in front of Mrs. Parker, shouting, +“Hang her! Hang them all! Hang the anarchists!”</p> + +<p>Later, after she had been bailed, I saw her +crying, not because she had been so badly bruised +but because she could not forget that cry of the +mob, “Hang her!” She was not an anarchist; +she was not a Communist; she was not, so far as I +knew, even that constitutional radical known as +Socialist. She was, like Mr. Teeple, just one +more American doing her duty for justice’s sake.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</span></p> + +<p>Still the afternoon “wore” on. Once Mary +Donovan went into the outer office to send away a +noisily excited group.</p> + +<p>“Think,” she said on her return, “of their daring +to come here on a day like this to enjoy themselves!”</p> + +<p>Rosa Sacco said nothing. She seemed to drift +further and further away from those unfailing +friends of hers as she waited to know whether +a respite would be granted and she might see her +husband many times again, or whether she must +see him for the last time. The cough was drier, +a few more pieces of paper were crumpled, but +she neither sighed nor spoke nor wept.</p> + +<p>The Governor’s Council was to meet at noon. +Surely by three or half past there would be some +word. But, we heard, the Council did not meet +and there was no word. It was half past five before +the Governor entered his office and the +Council did meet. Then they adjourned for dinner +and it was half past eight before they were in +session again, Attorney Arthur D. Hill with them +to make one more last plea for the Defense.</p> + +<p>But the little woman who waited, and Mary +Donovan her friend, and these good men? They +adjourned for no food,—they had eaten nothing +all day.</p> + +<p>Saying I would return, I went out, passing the +handsome blue coats, and turning the corner to an +Italian fruit stand. There I bought big rosy +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</span>cling-stone peaches, plums and pears golden from sunlight +and from air. And back I went, past the +handsome blue coats once more, these “bombs”—many +of them!—in three bags. And at the sight +of food that is more beautiful than any other, as +fruit is, eyes brightened.</p> + +<p>I coaxed Mrs. Sacco. Rubbing off the fuzz +carefully, she ate a peach. Then Mr. Felicani’s +hand reached into one of the bags and he, too, +rubbed the fuzz from a peach and ate it gratefully.</p> + +<p>“Oh, I’m so glad when they eat!” exclaimed +Mary Donovan. “I cannot make them take any +food at all!”</p> + +<p>Of herself she neither spoke nor thought. And +she took no fruit. It was plain that even her +endowment of strength could not stand the strain +much longer. And as for her career as a State +Factory Inspector that was over, for the State +had dismissed her the day the Court’s decision had +been made known.</p> + +<p>And already she was in bondage of a sort. +For there are two economic and social prisons: +the first in which men are shut out from the opportunity +to earn their livings; the second in +which they are shut in, away from those who do +earn their living under conditions which are in +general termed “free.” The forces behind the +first order of imprisonment are found in the <i>mores</i> +of an age. And those who have watched those +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</span>forces at work on others or upon themselves, +know how brutally efficient they can be. Imprisonment +of the second order Mary Donovan +was to face later on the two charges made by the +Boston police. But the first she was soon to experience +in all its bitterness not of confinement but +of exclusion. Towards the close of August she +was to begin spending days, weeks, months, looking +for work in Boston and New York and to find +that all doors, even those she might have expected +to be open, were closed to her. Several friends +were to do what they could to break through this +social “police” cordon. By and large their efforts +were futile. And Mary Donovan was to pay in +full the charge in this country to-day against a +struggle for conscience’ sake in the loss of the well-paid +post of State Factory Inspector in Massachusetts. +In New York in December, after more +than a half a year of unemployment, she found a +chance to wash dishes in Schrafft’s!</p> + +<p>Off and on throughout that interminable afternoon +and early evening, a man’s hand would reach +into a bag and take plum or pear or peach. And +from time to time in one way or another during +the late afternoon the tension was relaxed.</p> + +<p>Gardner Jackson, jesting with Felicani, said he +could not answer a certain telephone call, “For +I can’t speak Italian,—not yet!”</p> + +<p>Or Mrs. Sacco, persuaded into something like +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</span>listening to bird and dog stories, told about her +little daughter’s pet kitten.</p> + +<p>“Sometimes,” added Mrs. Sacco, with a smile +that was a gleam from a storm-tossed sea-gull’s +wing, “when I am not nervous, I like to pet it, +too.”</p> + +<p>Or the quiet entrance of Professor Felix Frankfurter, +compact, human, friend of justice and of +these breaking hearts. Or the coming and going +of Joseph Moro, and Creighton Hill, friend of +the Committee, alert, attentive to a thousand details.... +And there was John Barry, sometime +chairman of the Committee, but whether active +as chairman or not, there one night every week +with a regularity which never failed.</p> + +<p>Out in Charlestown they were getting ready. +The official executioner for three states, among +them Massachusetts, had arrived. That death’s +head of his, that mouth with its twisted fixed +smile, how did he fare as he looked forward to +the night’s work? He was not to be at the +banquet after the Death House scene, to which +official guests at the execution had been invited, +for he was to return to New York on a dawn +train. How would dawn feel to him? And the +arms of his wife and the kiss of his little child?</p> + +<p>To the <cite>Brooklyn Eagle</cite> reporter who had been +with us, word had been sent by Warden Hendry +that if he wanted to cover the night he would better +come on out to Charlestown. But still no +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</span>official word had been received at Headquarters, +and now the evening was “wearing” on.</p> + +<p>Then Rosa Sacco fainted as quietly as she had +spent the day. A nurse was called who, with +Mary Donovan, took Mrs. Sacco, half-conscious, +in a taxi to a friend’s house, honest, fearless Lilian +Haley’s. And now the night “wore on,” and +stories of respite or execution were given out and +“killed” and given out and “killed.”</p> + +<p>Mary Donovan returned.</p> + +<p>“What,” she said, with her finger pointing upward, +“if the finger of God should stay this execution +to-night!”</p> + +<p>Gardner Jackson went to the State House, asking +to see the Governor. And the Governor’s +Secretary inquiring whether Mr. Jackson had +come to see the Governor “for humane or legal +reasons,” Jackson replied, “Humane. What else +is left!” And he was asked to leave the State +House. Here was a man who was no politician, +sacrificing openly, as Mr. Jackson was doing, any +possible future in the state. Now he was back.</p> + +<p>It was eleven and the midnight hour was on its +way. Still no message! Several calls came from +“the friend’s house” saying that Rosa Sacco +wanted Mary Donovan, and still they waited, +hoping and despairing.</p> + +<p>Word was sent from Defense Headquarters +that Mrs. Sacco must be got ready for the worst. +The strength of Mary Donovan was beginning to +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</span>show a break here and a break there. She not +only thought of the torture to those innocent men +and women, but, like the levee holding back the +river, occasionally a torrent of spoken anger +swirled through. Several times she promised to +go to the friend’s house but always she waited for +another telephone call, and still no message came. +Finally she took up the telephone, calling Mr. +Thompson to ask what steps should be taken to +claim the bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti. Her +voice broke and she sobbed.</p> + +<p>Strange, I thought, that she should still believe +in the kindness of the law! Was not this belief +in its ultimate kindness but one more evidence of +her own generous heart?</p> + +<p>The offices were filling up. Nobody knew what +to do. Nobody knew what to think. Messages +came, messages were sent, there was nothing authoritative. +It was five minutes before twelve. +And the sensitive face of Felicani was ghastly. +And then came word that could be trusted. It +was not sent by the Governor or any one connected +with him: <span class="allsmcap">A RESPITE OF TWELVE DAYS HAD +BEEN GRANTED TO NICOLA SACCO AND BARTOLOMEO +VANZETTI</span>.</p> + +<p>The crowded office became more still. A member +of the Committee picked up the telephone and +sent the message to the “friend’s house” that, +without a moment’s delay, Rosa Sacco might +know.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</span></p> + +<p>No voices were raised. There was no excited +speaking. Gradually those friends who were unofficial +faded away. The Committee could be +seen gathering itself together to battle on for +justice for these two Italian workers who had +dared to hope for the day when the workers would +themselves end war and poverty.</p> + +<p>To one another they kept repeating, “We have +until the twenty-second. Well, that is something.”</p> + +<p>As she left the office Mary Donovan turned to +me and said, “I’m going to Rosa. Mr. Felicani +is coming later. You come with him!”</p> + +<p>And she was gone.</p> + +<p>Before we could leave there were odds and +ends of business needing attention. Then I found +myself out on Hanover Street, walking with Mr. +Felicani up cool, moonlit, deserted city streets towards +Beacon Hill.</p> + +<p>We were on our way towards Boston Common +where once Emerson had pastured his cow, and +then up onto Beacon Hill of which Margaret +Fuller Ossoli after her Italian marriage had +dreamed in Italy. Where was that “kernel of +nobleness” of which Margaret Fuller wrote? +Was it within the State House which we were +passing, or within the minds and hearts of these +men and women who believed that a living law +has in it, like life, elements of growth and +progress; that commerce is creative only when it +benefits the community as a whole as well as +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</span>individual wealth; and that that education alone is +really humane which is democratic and without +fear?</p> + +<p>Were not these men and women fighting for—not +against—law and order? Was not justice the +issue? And was not injustice the fuse which +touched off every revolution there ever was or +ever will be? What revolt, what destruction of +law and order, could there be if there were no +injustice in commerce, in education, in government?</p> + +<p>Down a hill, then up a hill to Lilian Haley’s, +the friend’s house where Rosa Sacco was. We +were talking now of the education of public +opinion and of the safety and the hope which lies +in education and education alone. With that +strange, unbendable, almost fierce, independence +which those who are strong in their gentleness +sometimes possess, it was plain that in Aldino +Felicani was one who would never yield, never +compromise, until all that a dedicated life could +do had been done to secure justice, present or +retroactive.</p> + +<p>Just before we entered the friend’s house, +Aldino Felicani was speaking of what the Defense +Committee had to do in the days that now +remained.</p> + +<p>Of Sacco and Vanzetti he added wistfully, “Ah, +these are the very best men I must ever hope to +know!”</p> + + +<div class="footnotes"> +<h3 id="FOOTNOTES"> + FOOTNOTES: +</h3> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a id="Footnote_1_1" href="#FNanchor_1_1" class="label">[1]</a> From “America Arraigned,” an Anthology of Sacco-Vanzetti +poems edited by Lucia Trent and Ralph Cheyney.</p></div> +</div> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</span></p> + + + <h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_II"> + CHAPTER II + <br> + THE BEGINNING + </h2> +</div> + +<div class="poetry-header"> + <div class="poetry"> + <div class="stanza"> + <div class="verse indent0">“You cannot kill the dream of those who find</div> + <div class="verse indent2">A faith that shall restore the world to men.”</div> + <div class="right"><span class="smcap">Lucia Trent.</span>⁠<a id="FNanchor_2_2" href="#Footnote_2_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a></div> + </div> + </div> +</div> + + +<p>Past flashed the crowned roads of Vermont, +then New Hampshire and finally Massachusetts: +ponds, lakes, mountains, little villages, larch and +hemlock, spruce and birch, fireweed, and mullein +in bloom, goldenrod and button bush, brook and +bridge, and the old, old farmhouses of a day +gone by,—all the beauty and comfort and wealth +that lie between the Adirondack region where +John Brown is buried yet still lives, into the outskirts +of Boston where some seventy-five years +ago, Ralph Waldo Emerson lived and wrote those +famous essays which still form part of the reading +of all thoughtful men and women.</p> + +<p>The land of “promise” for so many over so +many scores of years!

The +drape of shawl and angle of the unmistakable +New England back said that it had been a long, +long time.</p> + +<p>Then we were pulling into a “marble” city +where a young married couple took the chairs opposite +mine.

Then the +smell of the sea at night, somehow curiously discordant +with its suggestion of vast fresh spaces of +dark water and sky as we drew into the electric-lighted +yet dingy north end of Boston. I was on +my way back to be with the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense +Committee as the night of respite or death +approached.</p> + +<p>“There is Judge Brandeis,” ran my thought as +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</span>I walked swiftly down the North Station platform; +“he is really the hope.”</p> + +<p>Stepping through the door to take a taxi over to +Hanover Street, in that semi-circle of electric +lights, men were shouting and waving a small +pink “extra” at the top of which stood two words +in big headlines: “BRANDEIS WON’T—”</p> + +<p>After that nothing was “visible” except the +panorama of thought that passed, a vague sense +of going through the “gray” of Scollay Square, +and the knowledge that the taxi had turned +around at the end of one of the cross streets and +that we were in front of “256” and the steep +stairs, two flights up, to the offices.</p> + +<p>Gardner Jackson and Mary Donovan were not +there. But Joseph Moro was,—always there, always +busy.</p> + +<p>It was his voice asking, “Have you met Miss +Vanzetti?”</p> + +<p>The memory of another voice was in my ears, +that of a woman of letters who has worked and +lived in Italy more or less for thirty years and +whose books on Italy are familiar friends to many +who love that land.</p> + +<p>Again that literary friend was saying, “I understand +that the Signorina Vanzetti has behaved +herself like a heroine and a lady from beginning +to end of her stay in Boston.”</p> + +<p>But the “end” was not yet. Beside Miss +Vanzetti sat Rosa Sacco. From the glow on +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</span>those sensitive faces it looked even as if a happier +end might be in sight. And then it occurred +to me that both had just come from the Scenic +Auditorium meeting where they had been given +so kind a greeting from the loyal thousand +gathered there. Friendship in such an hour casts +no common light. Perhaps it was the reflection +of that welcome which was still upon their faces.</p> + +<p>And the night passed, even as those winding, +hill-cupped roads of Vermont and New Hampshire +had passed. Only the panorama of dreaming +and waking was not of pond and lake, of +mountain, of village and of tree, of flower, rock, +bridge, and ancient house.</p> + +<p>The panorama was of brave men and women +who, in the seven years’ struggle they had made +for justice for these two workers who had been +dreaming of and working for a world without +war and poverty, had shown the principle of selflessness; +those two noble prisoners back in the +Death House again, already from their hands the +touch and scent of strong leather, the silvery +coolness of fish and the smell of the sea gone forever; +the Defense Committee and its counsel, +without hope, fighting on to the end; the friends +who for justice’s sake—doctors, lawyers, merchants, +pastors (but no priests)—rallied about +them, giving beyond their means, working beyond +their strength; and these two loving women before +me who spoke precisely and with quiet.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</span></p> + +<p>And somehow in those passing human pictures +were all the strength, intention, beauty of life itself, +crowning dream and waking with more wonder +than hill the valley,—that valley of the +shadow of death,—a symbol towards which +Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were on +their way.</p> + +<p>Defeat?

Woolley, +and some five hundred other names representing +conspicuous achievement.⁠<a id="FNanchor_3_3" href="#Footnote_3_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a></p> + +<p>Nevertheless it was a Committee which in the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</span>very process of organizing suffered from disorganization, +attacked from all sides by the consciousness +of the mythology of fear which the +philosophy and economics of a century had built +up and a World War consummated. Now as +swiftly and inexorably as cancer strikes the human +body,—money-symbolism, greed, class-consciousness, +class-hatred, covering themselves with the +garments of respectability, law, and patriotism, +had struck into the social body. A strong Committee, +despite its strength aware of its helplessness, +consisting among others of Dr. Alice +Hamilton of Harvard, Paul Kellogg of the +<cite>Survey</cite>, Amy Woods, Waldo Cook of the <cite>Springfield +Republican</cite> and John F. Moors, was formed +to represent the Citizens’ National Committee. +Mr. Moors is a Harvard Overseer as well as a +banker. It was he who persuaded President +Lowell to serve on the Advisory Committee. +When the decision of the Committee was brought +in, he was willing to accept it but joined the +Citizens’ National Committee to ask for clemency +only. At noon this delegation called upon the +Governor. The Governor’s Secretary Mr. MacDonald, +who had handled all the material submitted +to the Governor and dealt with all the +witnesses, derailed the purpose of the Committee +by greeting Waldo Cook with the accusation that +Mr. Cook had accepted a bribe of $20,000 from +the Defense Committee to write his Sacco and +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</span>Vanzetti editorials for the <cite>Springfield Republican</cite>.</p> + +<p>And defeat at Defense Headquarters, too? +Yes, of a sort—the kind whose terms have in +them ideas which find symbolic immortality equally +upon the Cross or in the Death House.</p> + +<p>That noon Felix Frankfurter said in the dingy +corridor of Defense Headquarters, out of the +hearing of Rosa Sacco, “She must not be made +conscious of the larger issues of this thing, for +now how can she think of anything but that it is +her loved one who suffers! Yet somehow, no matter +what happens to-night, I am too healthy—or +something—to give up hope. I cannot believe +it is the end.”</p> + +<p>And the spent figure of Aldino Felicani, bending +to Destiny but not broken.</p> + +<p>And the arrow-flight of Arthur Hill’s car rushing +now southward towards the sea to ask legal +intervention from one, a judge of the Supreme +Court, who, showing neither hospitality nor the +quality of mercy, that early morning missed the +great opportunity of his career. Then another +flight northward, desperate, the last chance, in +an open boat upon the sea, to an island whose +shoreline is a rocky temple of beauty upon which +the Defense was to meet its last shipwreck.</p> + +<p>The day was passing. With it the hours of the +two who were to be executed were spilling swiftly +from one glass to another, from life to death. +A curious sense of whirling figures grew upon one +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</span>and of futility. It was not unlike dust in sunlight. +In the offices telephones rang incessantly, +telegraph messengers came and went, men and +women moved swiftly to and fro, typewriters +clicked.... And in those offices at the Bellevue, +as well as at the Defense Headquarters, national, +as well as international contacts by telegraph and +cable were bravely maintained to the last.</p> + +<p>A few figures stood out as somehow expressive, +in their very difference, of this united struggle of +conscience against injustice: John Dos Passos +flitting about, cheerful, charming; Mrs. Elliott +here, as in her work for peace, fearless, gentle, +quiet; Paul Kellogg frayed with years of battle +for social welfare, pale, determined; Dr. Alice +Hamilton of Harvard, strong in reserve; Waldo +Cook, cool-headed, responsible, ready at any cost, +but never by any means except by the use of reason +to maintain the editorial position of the +<cite>Springfield Republican</cite>. Mrs. Glendower Evans, +in gray, white-haired, was seated, a Quaker-like +figure in the midst of the Woman’s City Club, +waiting, talking with the friends who came to her. +Mrs. Evans’s faithful friendship to Sacco and +Vanzetti, and therefore to the issues of justice, had +proved itself in more than one way. Not only had +she given the case her financial support but also +she had assembled evidence with, as a friend wrote +of her, “an insight as to its value in court which +was worthy of a mind long-trained by court +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</span>practice.” Best of all was the gift of herself, so complete +that she was troubled not to have been able +to share even imprisonment.</p> + +<p>And there was Powers Hapgood testing the +free assemblage and free speech issue again and +yet again, thinking, as Paul Kellogg wrote of him +in the <cite>Survey</cite>, “If, when the lives of two men were +at stake and thousands of working people believed +they weren’t getting justice at the hands of the +courts, you couldn’t even get a permit to discuss +the issue on Boston Common, then it looked as if +we had let our old liberties be scrapped for us +and political action didn’t offer a way out. And +they would be scrapped, if we didn’t exercise our +rights and show that men believed in them.”</p> + +<p>Assuredly in those thirteen days in Boston from +the tenth of August to the twenty-second, when +the issue of justice hung in the balance, with those +in power there was no spirit of making good a +mistake either by experience or by free discussion. +Boston Regnant through Chief of Police Crowley +denied all requests for use of the Common. And +even upon that night of the twenty-second +Crowley was to refuse Miss Hale’s request for +the use of Bunker Hill Monument as a place for +free assemblage, “where the people might repeat +the Lord’s Prayer or sing hymns.” It is not improbable +that many sorts and conditions of Americans +who, for conscience’ sake, assembled in Boston +during those days, wondered in what traditions +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</span>of free speech and free assemblage the police representation +of those in power had been trained. +It is certain that the social and political education +of those who controlled the police had included +the name of John Stuart Mill and possibly even a +certain paragraph from that most famous of his +essays <span class="allsmcap">ON LIBERTY</span>: “<span class="allsmcap">BUT THE PECULIAR EVIL OF +SILENCING THE EXPRESSION OF AN OPINION IS, +THAT IT IS ROBBING THE HUMAN RACE; POSTERITY +AS WELL AS THE EXISTING GENERATION; +THOSE WHO DISSENT FROM THE OPINION, STILL +MORE THAN THOSE WHO HOLD IT.

IS JUSTICE +DEAD?</p> + +<p>Here were none of those who, to quote a line +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_30">[Pg 30]</span>from Laura Simmons’s sonnet, kept their “prudent +way within the crowd.” While I waited in +the bailing room where, in addition to the bail +asked, the bailer collected two dollars for each +arrest—his way of earning a living!—a man, +pointing to a suit case, asked me to sit down. It +was kindness, and in such a place well to cultivate +kindness.</p> + +<p>For awhile all the windows were shut tight. +Within a space adequate for two score there were +packed over several hours almost seven times that +number. The windows were closed, for some fifty +garment workers were chanting the Internationale, +their triumphant, militant song of brotherhood.</p> + +<p>From the guard room Clarina Michelson, +Helen Todd, Lola Ridge, and others were being +let out. Mary Donovan seemed anxious about +some who should be bailed at once, among them +Powers Hapgood. She turned to look for him, +but, strangely, he was gone. And with him the +day was going, too.</p> + +<p>The last night had come. At Defense Headquarters, +Louis Bernheimer was sending and receiving +messages. He was as suddenly and mysteriously +present on this night as he had been +independently and mysteriously active in behalf of +the Defense Committee, for unknown to the +Committee, Mr. Bernheimer had written and +circulated 30,000 pamphlets to ministers +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</span>throughout the country. A graduate of Yale in 1917, +an air pilot in France during the war, a student +of Chinese philosophy, a hermit, he had already +been a source of influence to the Committee.</p> + +<p>Powerful, cynically courageous, he betrayed his +emotion by no conscious sign. Unconsciously, +however, he revealed the strain under which he +worked, for every once in a while he whispered to +himself.</p> + +<p>The wire Louis Bernheimer handled kept efficient +touch with all who belonged in that office +and yet were not there. Inside the office the editor +of an Italian paper, Serafino Romualdi, was taking +notes, now asking how to spell “monument,” then +checking against some other unfamiliar word.</p> + +<p>Via the telephone the office knew that Mary +Donovan, a lawyer with her, had hurried out to +the psychiatric hospital to which the state police +had been taking Powers Hapgood even as she +had turned to find him somehow mysteriously +vanished.</p> + +<p>The office knew, too, that Gardner Jackson and +his sister, Dr. Edith Jackson, were on their way +with Mrs. Sacco and Signorina Vanzetti to the +State House to make one last appeal to a cast-iron +executive; and that Michael Angelo Musmanno +and Aldino Felicani were on their way +back from their farewell in the Death House, +Mr. Musmanno to act as interpreter for +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">[Pg 32]</span>Vanzetti’s sister, Aldino Felicani to return to the +Defense office.</p> + +<p>What was there for two women to do, for Ruth +Hale and for me? An age-old prerogative of +women: feed hungry men. Others would be coming +in, and they, too, whether they knew it or not +would need food. And no food except a bag of +peanuts was on that table banked with telegrams, +letters and carbons. We went out after coffee and +sandwiches and milk.</p> + +<p>Waiting, we, too, had coffee on the clean table +by the cool window of that little Italian restaurant +one flight up. We read there words from a letter +which had come from a young editor: “It seems +so inextricably intertwined with the most inert +and selfish of human motives, the desire to be +comfortable, not to be bothered, to maintain the +<i>status quo</i>, to keep things as they’ve always been, +to defend institutions from attack, to get rid of +men of that type. Reason is no longer in evidence. +And I have yielded momentarily, more +than once to the weak wish that it was all over +and filed away neatly.”</p> + +<p>Quickly now—after seven years of delay—one +sort of “filing” would soon be done and over. +And then that letter which had come straight out +of the heart of youth leapt into flame: “One is +removed from life and death, from all emotion, +and suspended in a desperate abyss, where +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_33">[Pg 33]</span>calmness and self-control are the things most needed. +Events happen, and are seen in crystalline stillness. +But the mind, the soul, continue the hopeless +struggle, for all is not lost, as long as the +desire for justice persists.”</p> + +<p>For all is not lost as long as the desire for +justice persists! Around the corner from Headquarters +over in Salem Street in the rooms of the +Hod Carriers’ Union, the “desire” was most certainly +persisting. Mother Bloor had come all the +way from California to speak for justice for +Sacco and Vanzetti. Lola Ridge and John +Howard Lawson had passed through Headquarters +and had gone over to Salem Street to +speak for justice.</p> + +<p>As we sat on, quiet in the tense office, messages +coming and going, now and then a cup of coffee +being poured or a sandwich eaten, in my thoughts +were lines from Lola Ridge’s “Two in the Death +House” which, repeated to me the week before, +she was now chanting over in Salem Street.</p> + +<div class="poetry-container poetry-tb"> + <div class="poetry"> + <div class="stanza"> + <div class="verse indent0">“You have endured those moments, you</div> + <div class="verse indent0">Close to the rough nap of earth, and knowing her perennial ways.</div> + <div class="verse indent0">And when, on some one of your counted mornings, light</div> + <div class="verse indent0">That pulls at the caught root of things</div> + <div class="verse indent0">Has pierced you with a touch, or leavened air,</div> + </div> +<hr class="tb"> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_34">[Pg 34]</span></p> + + <div class="stanza"> + <div class="verse indent0">You too have hoped—with the ardor of young shoots, renascent under concrete,</div> + <div class="verse indent0">And with them have gone down to defeat again.”⁠<a id="FNanchor_5_5" href="#Footnote_5_5" class="fnanchor">[5]</a></div> + </div> + </div> +</div> + +<p>Dos Passos, flitting into the office, called: “It’s +more cheerful over there! Come on over!”</p> + +<p>Then suddenly, when Miss Hale and I were already +halfway down the stairs, from the street +came uproar, and the rush of many feet and the +sound of hundreds of voices.</p> + +<p>Mother Bloor had been arrested for speaking +out the window of the Hod Carriers’ Union to +some five hundred people who had been unable to +get inside.</p> + +<p>When the police were heard coming up the +stairs of the Hod Carriers’ Union to get her, +Fred Beale, a splendid type of young man, threw +his arm about Mother Bloor to protect her, saying, +“You mustn’t let them get you!”</p> + +<p>Brave as always, she disengaged his arm, and +said, “You’ll have to let me go with them, +Fred!”</p> + +<p>And quietly she went away with the police, and +from Hanover Street had come the angry shout, +“Mother Bloor’s been arrested!”</p> + +<p>Putting my hand on Ruth Hale’s arm, I held +her where she was. She had done her best to get +Crowley to give a permit for the use of Bunker +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">[Pg 35]</span>Hill Monument for all who would meet together +and speak. And she had failed. Now was not +the time for any one to “strike” again.</p> + +<p>Dos Passos had disappeared, and we went back +up through the outer office and on into the office +where messages came and went and there was +more silence than speech.</p> + +<p>The outer office filled up and emptied intermittently, +rich and poor alike coming and going. +From a brave mission to plead with the Governor, +Mrs. J. Borden Harriman and a friend were +there, like the brave gentlewomen they are, standing +fraternally in the outer office.</p> + +<p>From that outer office, too, came the sound of +a woman’s voice, curiously deep, speaking with a +slight accent: “They wanted us to come over +and now they don’t want us. We have worked +hard and made sacrifices. They want all the +power. We want some power, too, and we are +going to have it.

The newspapers told about that. The +news did not tell about the woman, mother of +four children, who was so beaten up that she bled +to death. The news did not tell about old women +who were assaulted, or about the young women +and children about whom Don Brown told, +through the medium of the <cite>New Republic</cite>, women +and children beaten, thrown across rooms, gassed +and ridden down. Did Pittsburgh know? What +would William Penn have thought about his namesake +state if he could have been present at the +bloody dispersement of this orderly, peaceful +protest meeting in behalf of Sacco and Vanzetti?... +In Colorado in the coal fields matters did +not fare any better.</p> + +<p>In London, on August 23d, forty persons were +injured near the Marble Arch where mounted and +foot police charged Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizers. +The crime of these sympathizers was that they +tried to march. In Paris on the same date street +benches were torn up and newsstands were overturned +to be used as barricades by a mob of some +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_46">[Pg 46]</span>fifteen thousand sympathizers. In the conflict +hundreds of civilians were injured, and scores of +police.</p> + +<p>There were demonstrations throughout the +civilized world as well as in London and Paris. +In Rosario, Argentine, throngs waiting in silence, +in silence bared their heads when just after midnight +the news of the executions reached them. +At Buenos Aires a sympathetic strike and the boycotting +of American manufactures and products +was organized. At Sydney, Australia, a huge procession +protested the executions and resolutions +were passed by the workers to boycott American +goods. At Johannesburg, South Africa,—Olive +Schreiner’s country,—an American flag was burned +on the steps of the Town Hall and speeches were +made urging the boycotting of American goods. +In both Berlin and Leipzig there were serious +clashes between rioting protestants and the police. +In Oporto, Portugal, many people were hurt when +police dispersed a demonstration being held in +front of the American Consulate.</p> + +<p>But at Headquarters, little was said, and yet, +as Rose Pesotta expressed it, all were saying, +“We must bury our dead.” Stillness, fog-like, +blanketed both grief and work, and was broken +only by the buzz of telephone, or the question or +answer of some quiet voice.... The authorities +had nailed a two by four plank upright in the entrance +of Defense Headquarters, so that no +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_47">[Pg 47]</span>coffins could be carried through and up the stairway. +It had been the plan of the Defense that +loving hands should bear the bodies of Sacco and +Vanzetti up the stairs in order that they might +lie in state in those rooms where the battle for +their lives had been fought. The Rotenberg +Estate, which owns 256 Hanover Street, had complained +to the police. In death as in life the +Committee met defeat, and the bodies had to be +taken from Charlestown Prison to Langone’s +Funeral Chapel.</p> + +<p>In many places outside that Funeral Chapel +might have been heard the harsh echoes of cheap +denunciation of those who now lay still. But the +sound that was in the ears of the men and women +in the Defense Committee and in other committees +that had struggled to save them, were the +“Hail and Farewell” of Sacco and Vanzetti to +the Defense written in the Death House on +August 21:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p><span class="allsmcap">“THAT WE LOST AND HAVE TO DIE, DOES NOT DIMINISH +OUR APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE FOR YOUR +GREAT SOLIDARITY WITH US AND OUR FAMILIES.

There was Vanzetti thanking his +unfailing friend, Mrs. Jessica Henderson, “most +heartfully” for her care of his sister, and admitting +that at sight of his sister his heart had +“lost a little of its steadiness.” And Vanzetti +writing a long and beautiful letter to “Friend +Dana,” the student of English Literature.⁠<a id="FNanchor_10_10" href="#Footnote_10_10" class="fnanchor">[10]</a> And +there was Sacco writing a last letter to his little +son, Dante, of which some of the sentences once +read will always be remembered:</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">[Pg 49]</span></p> + +<blockquote> +<p>“What here I am going to tell you will touch your +feelings, but don’t cry, Dante, because many tears have +been wasted, as your mother’s have been wasted for seven +years, and never did any good. So, Son, instead of crying, +be strong, so as to be able to comfort your mother, +and when you want to distract your mother from the +discouraging soulness, I will tell you what I used to do. +To take her for a long walk in the quiet country, gathering +wild flowers here and there, resting under the shade +of trees, between the harmony of the vivid stream and the +gentle tranquillity of the mother nature, and I am sure +that she will enjoy this very much, as you surely would +be happy for it. But remember always, Dante, in the +play of happiness, don’t you use all for yourself only, but +down yourself just one step, at your side and help the +weak ones that cry for help, help the persecuted and the +victim because they are your better friends, they are the +comrades that fight and fall as your father and Bartolo +fought and fell yesterday for the conquest of the joy and +freedom for all the poor workers. In this struggle of +life you will find more love and you will be loved....”</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>Appreciation, guidance, love, courage for others, +their thought in these last hours,—messages that +for centuries to come will teach men how to live +and how to die....</p> + +<p>If, for their own comfort, on that last night of +their life, they might have seen their Defense +Committee as some others saw it: the worn face +of Aldino Felicani; the persistence of Gardner +Jackson; the ceaseless watchfulness of Joseph +Moro; the pallor of Mary Donovan; and, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">[Pg 50]</span>centered in the midst of all their love and care, the +quiet, patient beauty of Rosa Sacco.</p> + +<p>The Governor had assured a woman of +wealth—also a woman of courage and judgment—who +had come to plead with him for stay of +sentence, that after it was over they would both +sleep better in their beds. It is probable that the +only peace that night for multitudes of men and +women of all ranks and of national and international +interests, was the bitter gratitude that +after the long agony, Sacco and Vanzetti knew the +peace of death. For they knew so well that all +was not over, as the authorities and the news said +it was. They knew that it was only just begun.</p> + +<p>Two days later on the evening of August 25th +some eight thousand people were gathered before +the doors of Langone’s waiting to go in to look +upon the faces of the Italian martyrs. Some had +stood there all day pressing up against the ropes +that held them off. Very shortly after those +doors were opened, Mary Donovan, nerves at +the breaking point after the long years of Defense +work and those thirteen days covering the postponement +and preparation for the executions, as +some news and camera men were about to take +pictures of Sacco and Vanzetti, took her stand +at the head of the coffins, in her hands a placard +two and a half feet long and two feet wide. On +it were Judge Webster Thayer’s words spoken +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_51">[Pg 51]</span>while petitions for a new trial were still to be +argued before him: “<span class="smcap">Did you see what I did +to those anarchistic bastards?</span>”</p> + +<p>A battle of wills then ensued between Joseph +Langone, the funeral director, whose license +would be at stake if trouble occurred, and Mary +Donovan. The struggle was soon over. The +photographers went ahead with their work, and +Mary Donovan stepped outside, where the crowd +of eight thousand was waiting, and handed her +placards to a newspaper man to copy. As they +were being returned to her a Sergeant of the Police +snatched them from her, and another struggle +was begun. It culminated, despite the attempt +of Gardner Jackson and Powers Hapgood +to defend her, in her arrest on two charges: first, +inciting to riot; second, distributing anarchistic +literature.</p> + +<p>Mary Donovan, whether her action at this +time was well-judged or not, was within her rights +in permitting the reporters to copy her placards. +As far as the distribution of anarchistic literature +is concerned, the “literature” involved was of the +making of Judge Webster Thayer who might dislike +having his phrases called anarchistic. Mary +Donovan herself is a registered member of a political +party whose tenets are opposed to those of +anarchy,—I mean that political party known as +the Socialist Party of the United States. She +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">[Pg 52]</span>was given six months on each count or a year in +prison, and her case is still to be called.</p> + +<p>Saturday night was gone and Sunday had come. +Sunday noon the March of Sorrow was scheduled +to begin the long traversing on foot of some eight +miles to Forest Hills where the last ceremony was +to be held and the bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti +cremated. From the steps and portico of Saint +Paul’s Cathedral in Boston a waiting crowd was +looking out upon a far greater throng which +packed Tremont Street to the curb. To Beacon +Hill and that State House already barred to the +marchers by road signs and trucks placed end on +end across all entrances to it, the Common rose +in gradual ascent.</p> + +<p>This day and hour of August twenty-eighth, +1927, was as rain and wind swept as a November +day, with dead leaves falling from trees still +green. Many of those who stood upon the portico +steps, not a few who stirred upon the Common, +believing in the leadership and healing +power of ideal action, must have touched the +thought of this Boston of 1927 with its American +Tragedy of Injustice and its memories of Wendell +Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison as one +touches the inexplicable,—something of amazement +and fear both in their thoughts. What did +it all mean? Or Italian by birth, minds sought +refuge during those gray and solemn hours by a +grave in the Campo Santo, Genoa, with its legend +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">[Pg 53]</span>“<span class="allsmcap">PRO VITA NUOVA</span>,” remembering Mazzini and +phrases revealing his suffering and his triumph.</p> + +<p>On Hanover Street, within Defense Headquarters, +and a few doors away on the opposite side +of the street at Langone’s, since early morning +preparations had been going forward,—all was +“business like.” At ten the Funeral Chapel had +been closed. But thousands had seen those faces, +alabaster in death, of a good shoemaker and a +poor fish peddler. From Defense Headquarters +word was being passed out that the March of Sorrow +was to begin at one o’clock. There still, +all was quiet and the one thought that they must +bury their dead. Not permitted to begin the +march with the famous red arm band about +the sleeve—<span class="smcap">Remember, Justice Crucified! +August 22, 1927</span>—word was passed out to put +the bands into pockets until a certain point on +the marching route had been reached.</p> + +<p>For hours throngs of mourners had been gathering +in the North End all along the quarter of a +mile between the Funeral Chapel and North End +Park. Waiting open cars had been filled to overflowing +with scarlet flowers, and on foot many +volunteers were to bear crimson wreaths. Then +the pallbearers carried out the coffins to the waiting +hearses. Led by two closed cars, one containing +Mrs. Sacco and Miss Vanzetti, Aldino +Felicani and Dante Sacco, the other empty and +waiting for the moment when the members of the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">[Pg 54]</span>Defense Committee should step into it from the +head of the marching ranks, at a signal the great +cortège fell into step, arm linked to arm, the +motors in the cars began to throb, and the March +of Sorrow was begun.</p> + +<p>And it was begun to the pounding of horses’ +hoofs, for at the head and on either side of the +hearse and the two closed cars rode mounted +State police clad in black raincoats and hats. The +official intent was scarcely that of honoring the +dead, yet the escort was not unlike that given to +dead kings. To the thought of Mary Donovan +and other members of the Defense from a letter +returned the words of Vanzetti: “Such treatment +formerly was given only to saints and kings.”... +All those eight miles from Scollay Square to Forest +Hills the thunder of those hoofs beat upon +the ears of those who mourned.</p> + +<p>At first, Alfred Baker Lewis said, the attitude +of the police was strictly neutral. But when +they saw that a procession of some fifty thousand +people had determined, despite the rain, to pay +honor to these two martyrs their attitude changed. +From the start a procession unique in the history +of human experience both for numbers and in the +length of the route covered encountered difficulties. +First the police had heavy trucks set close +together all across the street and directly in the +way of the line of march. In the attempts of +the marchers to get through or around obstacles, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_55">[Pg 55]</span>one man was injured by being pushed through a +plate glass window. But the marchers did get +around the trucks and reform the procession.</p> + +<p>In the gray and rain of Scollay Square, where +fog was drifting in and pools of water were collecting, +the police charged the line and started +clubbing, and a detail of the mounted police rode +straight into the column. A man on the sidewalk, +indignant at the unprovoked attack on the +marchers, swore at the police—to do this to the +Boston police is to break much more than a tenth +of the decalogue—and the man was arrested and +taken to the police station. By such methods the +police succeeded in “clearing” Scollay Square, but +they could not keep it cleared. Quietly, steadily, +the thousands of mourners came on, some filtering +through the police cordon, others making detours, +and again forming a column of solid ranks, arm +linked to arm, twenty abreast.</p> + +<p>Past Scollay Square, a brave salute to the police, +out came the red arm bands. And now arm +linked in arm, step perfect, the inscription on +those arm bands repeated, repeated, repeated, itself +in rhythm to the marching multitudes: “<span class="smcap">Remember—Justice +Crucified! August 22, +1927.</span>” The long wavering line of flame under +rain,—human hearts, crimson flowers, the undulating +thousands of red arm bands, the hearses +bearing the bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti,—the +great cortège of Sorrow went on.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">[Pg 56]</span></p> + +<p>Upon the steps and within the portico of Saint +Paul, from the Common, the waiting throngs saw +them coming. In the minds of those who +watched and those who marched echoed the words +of the Silent Ones behind whom the great concourse +was marching: “Our words—our lives—our +pains—nothing! The taking of our lives—lives +of a good shoemaker and a poor fish peddler—all! +That last moment belongs to us—that +agony is our triumph!”</p> + +<p>The sweeping tide of human beings had moved +slowly up Hanover Street, packed from curb to +curb behind those shining hearses, behind the +crimson flowers, and was whittled at by the police +during the entire eight miles to Forest Hills +Cemetery. Undaunted by either violence or the +black skies gathering more and more rain, the +cortège reformed again and again, and went on,—the +human spirit of justice establishing its integrity +and achieving in sorrow its purpose. The +love of those who marched was not unlike the +love of Those Two borne along the miles of all +that way, and from whose dead lips, age after +age, would be scattered the truth for which they +had given their lives, “ashes and sparks ... +among mankind.”</p> + +<p>On that day those who seemed to be in control +were the Boston police, and they did their bit +towards educating the multitudes. It was not, +perhaps, the education which they thought they +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_57">[Pg 57]</span>were giving. It was rather like a lesson Louis +Rabinowitz saw taught at the corner of the Boston +Common and of Charles Street. As the +March of Sorrow, heckled by the police, struggled +forward, the “pupil” whom the police took +in hand was a typical American youth,—100 per +cent American, clothes and brains. Pressed +against the picket fence of the Charles Street +Mall he was much amused at the plight of the +funeral cortège as, desperately, the marchers +sought to meet every new obstacle the police set +for them, and at the same time keep order in the +marching ranks.</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>“A sudden charge of the mounted Cossacks,” wrote +Louis Rabinowitz of the Young People’s Socialist League, +“brought a smile to his lips. The slow stiffening of the +workers’ lines in the face of vicious clubbings drove away +the smile, to leave instead a wrinkling of the brows and +a look of wonder and respect. As though he wondered +at such courage, and whence it could have sprung. What +was the matter? Why were all these people suffering like +that?</p> + +<p>“‘Hey, you! Get away from there and run!’ It was +the snarling vicious growl of some mad creature. The +youth quickly turned his head and saw not far distant +from himself a beefy, bristling, ‘flat-foot,’ fresh from +clubbing the mourners.</p> + +<p>“The young man began to obey the threatening commands +and slowly walked away from the fence to proceed +along the path.</p> + +<p>“‘Run, I told ye—and keep running. I’ll smash your +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_58">[Pg 58]</span>face in for you!’ As he uttered this threat the cop rapidly +moved after the youth. The latter, noticing over his +shoulder as he walked the onslaught of the lumbering +beef-face with his ever-swinging club, began to run. Out +of breath, the Boston police ‘club-swinger’ stopped and +fiercely shook his fist at the retreating back of his escaping +quarry.</p> + +<p>“As the lad ran the look of wonder disappeared from +his face. In its place there grew an expression of grim +determination crowned with the certainty of hope. And +as he joined the line of plodding workers he uttered a +single significant remark: ‘Now I know why you are +fighting.’”</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>But on that day, in those hours, greater than +those police masters was the Master of all Men. +“Eloquent, just and mightie Death” had persuaded. +Before the eyes of this American boy, +Death was drawing “together all the farre +stretchèd greatness, all the pride, crueltie, and +ambition of man,” and was showing him not only +the visible symbols of courage and brotherhood +but also the symbols of stupidity and injustice.</p> + +<p>The police continued to “maintain order,” +carving off from the cortège by every strategy +in their power and by force large numbers of the +marching thousands until what had been fifty +thousand at Hanover Street became scarcely two +hundred marchers at Forest Hills. They ordered +opposite tides of traffic into the marchers, +they even diverted traffic into the cortège, they +threw trucks across the way, they rode straight +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">[Pg 59]</span>into by-standing groups of sympathizers, and they +clubbed. All that those who marched wanted +was to reach Forest Hills, there to pay the last +deference to Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. +They did not want trouble. And they +kept on doggedly, forming and reforming in what +Blanche Watson in <cite>The New Leader</cite> has called +their “plodding glory.” And marching, marching, +marching, beside them, unseen, unheard, was +another army,—all the phantasmagoria of many +forces, of hope, of despair, of hate, of love, the +death, the life, of all the ages through which +mankind, dusty and travel-stained, has fought his +way upwards.</p> + +<p>Towards the close of the march the struggles +of the cortège with the police became more acute. +But under the leadership of Rose Pesotta and +Alfred Baker Lewis the sympathizers kept on, +the police making last brutal efforts to incite them +to violence. More than seven of the eight miles +had been covered in the rain.</p> + +<p>Arm linked in arm they were swinging on +bravely and silently when suddenly at Forest +Hills Elevated Station came the sharp command, +“Get over there!”</p> + +<p>And police charged them, together with an automobile +from the station house in which a patrolman +rode down the crowd. Not a half minute +was given the procession to obey before clubs +began to swing and marchers to sprawl. There +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_60">[Pg 60]</span>were curses, blows and kicks, and the guardians +of law and order drew their guns. They were +“keeping order,” of course! Anybody could see +that, as by this last violence upon the worn men +and women they succeeded in cutting away more +than two-thirds of the brave and peaceful remnant +of all the thousands.</p> + +<p>Within almost a stone’s throw of Forest Hills +Cemetery, that “third” slipped into a side street, +and reformed.... Again, arm linked to arm, +they swung on through the rain and the fast approaching +night, in perfect order, silent except +for their marching steps, on they plodded that last +half mile to the Cemetery where a cordon of +state police denied them entrance. They had kept +on to the end. And now, the rain coming down +in torrents, they stood with bared heads before +the closed gates.</p> + +<p>There, too, by the Walk Hill entrance stood +Professor Ellen Hayes of Wellesley, and some +of her friends. In an automobile they had joined +the funeral procession. But endlessly harassed +by the police, they had detoured and gone directly +to the Cemetery. They stood there by the gates, +watching the police jamming and hustling the +throngs. They saw the hearses come and enter +the gates. Far behind those hearses and the following +cars brilliant with flowers, they had seen +that gallant few coming, all, as Miss Hayes wrote +in <cite>The Relay</cite>, “whom the police and the rain and +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_61">[Pg 61]</span>the long miles had allowed to come through. +Brilliant red bands gleamed on their arms.” In +silence, wishing that they, too, might have been +equal to the long hard march, this group of +elderly women saluted them.</p> + +<p>Now within the Chapel the quiet bodies waited +till a woman’s tremulous voice should speak a +few unforgettable words in their memory, and +the bodies should be taken into the retort rooms +there, again, to be baptized by fire, yet never to +the end to be free from police surveillance. For +even in the Cremation Chamber was to be a parade +of police joking and laughing as fire reduced +all that was mortal of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo +Vanzetti to ash.</p> + +<p>The “last” moment had come. The little +Chapel would hold no more than a hundred. +Every seat was filled, and a few stood about the +walls. Haggard and white, as those who stand +at the foot of the cross, Mary Donovan read +words, written by Gardner Jackson, that for fearless +grandeur will be remembered with the spoken +and written words of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo +Vanzetti:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>“<span class="smcap">Nicola Sacco</span> and <span class="smcap">Bartolomeo Vanzetti</span>, you +came to America seeking freedom. In the strong idealism +of youth you came as workers searching for that liberty +and equality of opportunity heralded as the particular +gift of this country to all new-comers. You centered +your labors in Massachusetts, the very birthplace of +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_62">[Pg 62]</span>American ideals. And now Massachusetts and America +have killed you—murdered you because you were Italian +anarchists.</p> + +<p>“A hundred and fifty years ago the controlling people +of this state hanged women in Salem—charging them with +witchcraft. The shame of those old acts of barbarism can +never be wiped out. But they are as nothing beside this +murder which modern Massachusetts has committed upon +you. The witch-burners were motivated by the superstitious +fear of an emotional religion. Their minds were +blinded by their selfish passion to reach Heaven. The +minds of those who have killed you are not blinded. +They have committed this act in deliberate cold blood. +For more than seven years they had every chance to +know the truth about you. Not once did they even dare +mention the quality of your characters—a quality so +noble and shining that millions have come to be guided +by it. They refused to look. They allowed the bitter +prejudice of class, position and self-interest to close their +eyes. They cared more for wealth, comfort and institutions +than they did for truth. You, Sacco and Vanzetti, +are the victims of the crassest plutocracy the world has +known since ancient Rome.</p> + +<p>“Your execution is ‘one of the blackest crimes’ in the +history of mankind. It is that and more. Horrible +enough would it be if the killing of you had been ordered +by the political and material powers alone. How much +more horrible it is to have this act sanctioned and even +blessed by those who pass among us as the leaders of +intellectual and spiritual power. The blatant exultation +with which they aided in your death is the final sign that +the act of killing you was the act of vengeance of one +class—the class dominated by worship of money and +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">[Pg 63]</span>position—against you as symbols of another class—the workers +and all others aspiring to realize the true meaning +of life.</p> + +<p>“‘If it had not been for these things,’ said Vanzetti +shortly before his death, ‘I might have lived out my life, +talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have +die, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a +failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in +our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, +for justice, for man’s understanding of man, as now we +do by an accident.

Their eyes looked steadfastly +upon the averted face of him who pronounced +their doom of burning in the electric chair. +Theirs was the complete fortitude of idealism +and innocence.”</p> + +<p>From the brief address of Sacco—barely five +hundred words—return not only the courage but +also the courtesy in his generous reference to +Vanzetti as “my Comrade, the kind man to all +the children.” And then those final words spoken +to Judge Thayer: “As I said before, Judge +Thayer know all my life, and he know that I am +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_65">[Pg 65]</span>never been guilty, never—not yesterday, nor to-day, +nor forever.”</p> + +<p>After that came Vanzetti’s longer speech, answering +why sentence of death should not be +passed upon him: “What I say is that I am innocent, +not only of the Braintree crime, but also +of the Bridgewater crime. That I am not only +innocent of these crimes, but in all my life I have +never stolen and I have never killed and I have +never spilled blood. That is what I want to +say. And it is not all. Not only am I innocent +of these two crimes, not only in all my life have +I never stolen, never killed, never spilled blood, +but I have struggled all my life, since I began to +reason, to eliminate crime from the earth.”</p> + +<p>Then had come the pause in which Vanzetti +had paid tribute to Debs: “There is the best man +I ever cast my eyes upon since I lived, a man +that will last and will grow always more near to +and more dear to the heart of the people, so long +as admiration for goodness, for virtues, and +for sacrifice will last. I mean Eugene Victor +Debs.... He has said that not even a dog that +kills chickens would have found an American jury +to convict it with the proof that the Commonwealth +has produced against us.”</p> + +<p>These two “criminals” were like that other +“criminal” Debs of whom Clarence Darrow said +that his only weakness was his honesty.</p> + +<p>And then another pause, this time in +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">[Pg 66]</span>courteous apology because Vanzetti must speak some +harsh words to Judge Thayer: “I am sorry to say +this because you are an old man, and I have an old +father.”</p> + +<p>Finally had come the close on these ringing +words: “I am suffering because I am a radical +and indeed I am a radical; I have suffered because +I was an Italian, and indeed I am an Italian; I +have suffered more for my family and for my +beloved than for myself; but I am so convinced +to be right that you can only kill me once but if +you could execute me two time, and if I could +be reborn two other times, I would live again +to do what I have done already.”</p> + +<p>To men like Dr. Dewey and Dr. Morton +Prince, having within their grasp mental tools +by which to test the guilt or innocence of those +accused of crime, that Dedham courthouse might +well have seemed but the cave of men living some +twenty thousand years ago and the “law” the club +which those primitive men had wielded. At the +end of “Psychology and Justice,” published in the +<cite>New Republic</cite>, Dr. Dewey writes: “The committee’s +sole reference to the conduct of Mr. +Thompson is that, upon occasion, his conduct indicated +that ‘the case of the defense must be +rather desperate’ for him to resort to the tactics +attributed to him. Well, events, in which the +committee had their share, indicate that the +plight of the defendants was indeed desperate; +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">[Pg 67]</span>and Mr. Thompson, above all others, had occasion +to realize how tragically desperate. But, +quite apart from the committee’s own conviction +of the guilt of the accused, it was known to them +that Mr. Thompson was equally convinced of +their innocence; that he was conservative in his +social and political views; that, at great sacrifice +of time, of social and professional standing, he +had made a gallant fight for the accused out of +jealous zeal for the repute of his own state for +even-handed justice. Yet their sole reference to +him is by way of a slur. I see but one explanation +of such lack of simple and seemingly imperative +generosity of mind.... Sacco and Vanzetti +are dead. No discussion of their innocence +or guilt can restore them to life. That issue is +now merged in a larger one, that of our methods +of ensuring justice, one which in turn is merged +in the comprehensive issue of the tone and temper +of American public opinion and sentiment, as they +affect judgment and action in any social question +wherein racial divisions and class interests are involved. +These larger issues did not pass with +the execution of these men. Their death did not, +indeed, first raise these momentous questions. +They have been with us for a long time and in +increasing measure since the War. But the condemnation +and death of two obscure Italians +opened a new chapter in the book of history. +Certain phases of our life have been thrown into +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">[Pg 68]</span>the highest of high lights. They cannot henceforth +be forgotten or ignored. They lie heavy +on the conscience of many, and they will rise in +multitudes of unexpected ways to trouble the emotions +and stir the thoughts of the most thoughtless +and conventional.”</p> + +<p>During those thirteen days of Boston history +there were men and women, millions of them, +all over the United States and in many parts of +the world who, not very well-read in history and +without either philosophy or experience to prepare +them for such events as those dramatized, +were robbed of their faith in the integrity of national +life, stripped of confidence in American +justice, and heart-broken by this spectacle of brutality. +Before their eyes they saw what Samuel +Taylor Coleridge one hundred years and more +ago had described as the special danger of his +own Georgian era: “An inward prostration of the +soul before enormous power, and a readiness to +palliate and forget all iniquities to which prosperity +had wedded itself.”</p> + +<p>These events they had to see without the perspective +of history, with its tracings of the wavering +line of progress, to correct the distortions +of present suffering. It is they, honest, uncompromising, +only in part educated, and their children’s +children, who will make the revolutionists +of the future. For the automatic answer of history +to injustice has ever been revolution. And +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_69">[Pg 69]</span>they read about or saw or were aware of acts of +rejoicing that Massachusetts had taken the stand +she had both through her official and committee +representatives and unofficially, and that the men +were “out of the way.”</p> + +<p>But one, and the latest, manifestation of this +spirit to which Heywood Broun calls attention +in the February 15, 1927, issue of the <cite>Nation</cite> was +the banquet at the Copley Plaza at which seven +hundred Dartmouth men cheered Judge Webster +Thayer for five minutes. As orgiastic as the persecution +of Christians on some Roman holiday +must that wah—hoo—wahing of Dartmouth have +sounded in many ears. And, as Heywood Broun +says, “If truth and right dogged every step of +Massachusetts justice in the case still there would +be reason to object to long cheers for an electrocution.”... +For the sake of Dartmouth history +it should not pass unobserved that much of this +cheering was, it may be, not so much intended <em>for</em> +Judge Thayer as <em>against</em> Professor Richardson of +Dartmouth who had testified to the judicial impropriety +of Judge Thayer’s statements out of +court.</p> + +<p>Hardest of all was it for the idealistic young +to see, and know, these things. Denied by their +youth that cool-headedness, logic, strategy, experience, +which they would have used towards ideal +ends, they saw these weapons being used by those +in power towards the thwarting of the issue of +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">[Pg 70]</span>justice. Nevertheless, even as the older people +had still believed up to the end that strong organization +might help, so had the young believed +that, with desperate effort, truth and goodness +would at last prevail. And both had seen their +desperate efforts and their measures fail.</p> + +<p>Even within the committees so bravely at work +for the defense of these two Italians, for those +who cared to do so, it was possible to observe +angles of selfishness, egotisms struggling for personal +power. It was possible to hear words +spoken which were foul or blasphemous, statements +made which were not based on truth. Although +it is common to do so, because of the sentimentalizing +of Christianity, historically it would +be a mistake to assume that those who stand at +the foot of the cross, whether in the first century +or the twentieth, are blameless. If, later, those +who not only had come together but who had +worked together fell apart, even fell to quarreling, +that was not what mattered. What did matter +was that for the time being all, however separated +by class or character, were humane in +intention; and all, however hopeless the issue, +struggled together for justice.</p> + +<p>To such a nucleus for constitutional justice as +the Defense Committee itself is, the seven bitter +years had revealed the worst there was to know +about American politics and decadent aspects of +capitalism. With eyes wide open to the truth, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">[Pg 71]</span>Mary Donovan wrote: “Do not worry about me—I +may go to jail and I may not, but however +my case ends we all realized that the authorities +would demand some payment, for our agitation +of the past years, and who would pay, but those +of us who have never received, or expected to receive, +any compensation but the knowledge that +we were and are right?”</p> + +<p>The Committee and its attorneys felt, and will +always feel as no one else can, the mental courage +of Sacco and Vanzetti. This strength Attorney +Thompson, in no sense sharing their social views, +has set down about Vanzetti in a record published +in the February, 1928, <cite>Atlantic Monthly</cite>: “In +this closing scene the impression of him which +had been gaining ground in my mind for three +years was deepened and confirmed—that he was +a man of powerful mind, of unselfish disposition, +of seasoned character, and of devotion to high +ideals. There was no sign of breaking down or of +terror at approaching death. At parting he gave +me a firm clasp of the hand and a steady glance, +which revealed unmistakably the depth of his feeling +and the firmness of his self-control.”...</p> + +<p>In August, during these thirteen days of indecision, +many generous minds grieved because they +thought men’s hearts were dead. Whether these +minds were liberal or conservative or radical, they +were alike in seeing that in this crisis of injustice +the selfishness of class warfare and social +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_72">[Pg 72]</span>ignorance were in the ascendant. Here were race +hatreds, and their senescent forms in the institutionalism +of court and state. Here, working +their will, were unscrupulous ambitions. Here +were riches which had lost all expression of fellowship +and sympathy, as wealth once held in +trust for the common good in this country had +kept them, and as wealth here and there still +keeps them. John Maynard Keynes has said in +<cite>The End of Laissez-faire</cite>: “I do not know which +makes a man more conservative—to know nothing +but the present, or nothing but the past.”... +Here was a death struggle. Here were human +beings who were good about many things but ungenerous +or bad about this issue of justice. Here +were indignant angry friends of justice who spoke +of the Clayton anti-trust act in one breath with its +guarantee of free speech and free assemblage, and +in the next spoke of the vengeance of God. Here, +too, were men and women whose only wish was to +get rid of men of the Sacco and Vanzetti type.</p> + +<p>And, most hopeless reaction of all, coming out +of this chaos the thought: “Thank God, it is +over!”</p> + +<p>Probably the lowest point in the spirit of +<i>laissez-faire</i> was reached in an editorial in the +<cite>Boston Herald</cite> published the morning after the +execution. The caption of this leading editorial +was: BACK TO NORMALCY. Its concluding +paragraph read: “It has been a famous case. It +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_73">[Pg 73]</span>has attracted the attention of the world to an +extent quite without recent precedent. It has +presented phases which no serious student of our +public affairs could fail to regret. <em>But the time +for all such discussion is over. The chapter is +closed. The die is cast. The arrow has flown. +Now let us go forward to the duties and responsibilities +of the common day with a renewed determination +to maintain our present system of +government, and our existing social order.</em>”⁠<a id="FNanchor_12_12" href="#Footnote_12_12" class="fnanchor">[12]</a></p> + +<p>And there we are with the good old word “tradition” +implicit in “present system” and “existing +social order”! The <cite>Herald</cite> says nothing of the +records of history. And for all its consciousness +of evolution, this editorial—probably written as +the men were being executed—might as well have +come from the mountains of Tennessee. “Tradition” +should be a means of communication, a +bridge by which human beings step forward into +the future. As soon as it denies the principle of +growth and forbids progress, in short as soon as +tradition becomes a barricade and not a bridge, is +it an advantage to human intelligence?</p> + +<p>What so often many had read about and glibly +discussed, in the execution prepared for and postponed +and prepared for, they had seen dramatized +in class warfare and race hatred. No intelligent +student of issues during that time could +fail to perceive decadence in act after act. The +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">[Pg 74]</span>mighty, and triumphant, wish to put an end to +Sacco and Vanzetti was not only an act of hatred +for these poor Italians but also the desire to maintain +the <i>status quo</i> in which wealth and privilege +should be able to go upon their way of the world +untroubled. Here was the creed of our present +economic system—a creed become hereditary—taught +to the full extent of its powers. Violation +by opinion of the established order of things had +been punished by death. It is not improbable +that many who loathed the act done nevertheless +pitied some of those men who did this thing,—men +familiar with the struggles of conscience and +the desire to do right, men of moral integrity, +yet caught in this Roman holiday of a brutal +economic order as Marcus Aurelius had been +caught in the Roman way of celebration, which +turned Christians into burning torches. Marcus +Aurelius, good and innocent, even tender, “persecuted” +the Christians who were good and innocent. +The gravamen of the charge against Marcus +Aurelius is that he allowed the Roman +Constitution, with its cruel criminal laws, to take +its way. It is a fact that Roman Stoics of the +days of Marcus Aurelius did not know how pure, +how innocent were those Christians whose persecutions +they permitted. It is probable that some +of those who are in power to-day do not know +how pure and innocent are some of these radical +idealists.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_75">[Pg 75]</span></p> + +<p>This was not in Rome but in Boston. This +was not the Roman attitude toward Christianity. +This was the attitude of a Christian government +towards the attempt to educate other men along +the lines of political development. These Italians +were “pagan” because they were radical, +and the authority which persecuted them was +Christian. And the educational and political elements +of the case were “framed” to robbery and +murder. To-day Senator Wheeler knows whether +the frame-up is <i>de facto</i> in this country or not. It +has been rather a long history of frame-ups from +the Chicago anarchist cases to the recent disturbances +in Colorado and New Jersey in which corporations +either through their own armed guards +or through controlled local police, have carried +on warfare reminiscent of the Middle Ages, bulwarked +by a perverted use of the injunction. The +long list of cases sponsored by the American Civil +Liberties Union adds its testimony particularly to +the prejudiced attitude of many of the lower +courts.</p> + +<p>Only the sentimentalist could have failed to +see that the truth, because it was the truth, had +no power whatever to stay these executions. The +sole advantage during those days of indecision +which truth had was not temporal, but that, although +truth might be “killed” symbolically in +the patient bodies of two humble Italian idealists, +it could not be put out. Consumed by the fire +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">[Pg 76]</span>of their own acts these two would rise again. +Immortality by means of the resurrection of truth +was theirs, and they knew it. Yet a strange thing +had been done: in a country which had been established +by those who were radicals in religious +opinion, two who were radical in political thought +had been executed.</p> + +<p>It was plain that those in power did not hold +their authority in what has been called “the consent +of the governed,” but from some other control. +For, as we could see, the “governed” had +no power whatsoever. We were put through the +gesture of being consulted, of being considered. +We were kept in a “politic” state of hopefulness. +But behind it all something we never saw, that +never became definite, was in control, and waiting +to strike. And it was equally plain that whatever +this Power was, it considered these executions +politically, socially, morally, desirable. For some +this Presence incorporated itself in the word “Reaction.” +For others it found explanation in a +“Fear Complex” or “Capitalism” or “Class Warfare.” +For still others it found exact definition +in what James Oneal has called “the drift to +Empire,” and in which Sacco and Vanzetti were +but one episode in more than fifty years of preparation.</p> + +<p>During those days in Boston the police were +an outward manifestation of the real mastery. +No doubt many of them were performing what +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">[Pg 77]</span>they thought was their duty and probably their +sense of duty was in many instances not consciously +servile. Yet they, too, were prostrating +themselves before a Presence that was never +seen,—a Presence of Enormous Power. And for +the sake of “Prosperity” they were ready to palliate +and forget. This Presence was not the +Governor, though he represented it. It was not +President Lowell and the Committee, though they +expressed it. It was not Chief of Police Crowley +though his uniform seemed to be its livery. +It was not Warden Hendry though he was its +kindly jailer. It was not even Judge Webster +Thayer though he was the mouthpiece of its +law.... Is it not true that it is society which +prepares the so-called “crime,” and that the +“criminal” is but the tool which executes it?

What, anyhow, is the Radical?</p> + +<p>James Harvey Robinson writes in <cite>The Journal +of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">[Pg 82]</span>Methods</cite>: “Some mysterious unconscious impulse appears +to be a concomitant of natural order. This +impulse has always been unsettling the existing +conditions and pushing forward, groping after +something more elaborate and intricate than what +already existed. This vital impulse, <i>élan vital</i>, as +Bergson calls it, represents the inherent radicalism +of nature herself. This power that makes for +salutary readjustment, or righteousness in the +broadest sense of the term, is no longer a conception +confined to poets and dreamers, but must +be reckoned with by the most exacting historian +and the hardest-headed man of science.”</p> + +<p>In art, at least, radicalism means that nuclear +source from which spring the emotional and social +evolution of art. And, one suspects, in the life +of government its meaning is not so very different. +When those in control of government begin to +use dead forms of past experience—say, legal—because +they are without sufficient force or sufficient +idealism to create new forms of use to +life as men must live it in the present, then follow +injustice and tyranny and death. It is inevitable +that selfish men should fear the change from one +economic order to another. And when for over +a hundred years both the philosopher and the +economist have buttressed the practical individual +in believing that in pursuing his own good he is +benefiting the community as a whole, it is small +wonder that he insists on the righteousness of his +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_83">[Pg 83]</span>individualistic or capitalistic point of view. It is +unquestionably true, not alone in political ways +but also in some official “religious” ways, that the +execution of Sacco and Vanzetti had been greeted +with exultation. John Hays Hammond’s letter of +praise to Governor Fuller will be remembered. +Bishop Lawrence’s letter to Governor Fuller will +not be forgotten,—the congratulations of a +Bishop of Christ for the decision to kill two men. +What light do those “congratulations” throw on +what many had believed to be the move for investigation +on the part of liberal opinion?</p> + +<p>For the present the power lies in the hands of +individualists and reactionaries, and many social +radicals—as, for example, Mooney and Billings—are +in prison, or they have died from the hardships +of their prison experience, or have been executed. +The bogy of fear—since they are not conscience +free—possesses many who are in power, +and they find a thousand subtle ways to infect the +public mind with fear of those changes which they +themselves dread.⁠<a id="FNanchor_16_16" href="#Footnote_16_16" class="fnanchor">[16]</a></p> + +<p>The execution at midnight on August twenty-second +was no sudden and hideous grimace of +fate.

The old order changeth and the +new order issues out of the old. The old faiths, +old views, old war cries that once served mankind +no longer serve.

Was Salsedo tortured till +he went mad and sprang out of the window? Or +was he thrown out? It should be remembered +that Sacco and Vanzetti were trying to get up a +meeting about what Alfred Baker Lewis has +called Salsedo’s “highly curious death” when they +were arrested. It is well not to forget that to-day +out in the Colorado coal fields, in the interests +of justice (!) peaceful picketers, having not +even a club as weapon, have been shot down by +mounted troopers, and that women are being lassoed +by these guardians of the law as steers are +lassoed.

Because of his +pacifism, this “radical” Gene Debs, always so fair +and so gentle as an opponent, hating no one, +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">[Pg 92]</span>incapable of petty hatreds, was sentenced to spend +ten years in Atlanta Penitentiary.</p> + +<p>While he was in Atlanta, he heard of the negro, +Sam Moore, shunned and feared by all, and confined +in the dungeon for a brutal murder. Debs +asked to be taken to him; and when he was, he +went up to this man whom no one dared approach +and put his arm around him. Emerson has said, +“The only gift is a portion of thyself.” This +gift Sam Moore received from Debs, and it made +a different man of that negro, changing him from +one who was shunned by all into one who was +trusted. And it was that same despised negro +criminal who said, “Gene Debs is the only Jesus +Christ I ever knew.” Sam Moore is out now, +leading an upright, working life. Debs spent +three years in Atlanta Penitentiary, trusted and +beloved. Then on Christmas Day, 1921, President +Harding released him.</p> + +<p>This is a brief record of the activities of the +man who was five times nominated for President +of the United States, one of those times being +while he was in prison when he polled a vote of +almost a million. This is the man who addressed +audiences numbering 25,000, and who led the simple, +loving life of a modern Christ; and who, +after two years of study, became at the age of +forty-two a Socialist. For Debs socialism did +not mean the doing away with capitalism; it +meant, rather, capital socialized, the brutality, the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_93">[Pg 93]</span>devastating individualism taken from it,—a system +of living in which man’s sociality, his brotherhood, +would be furthered, in which there would +be no bitter and separating contrasts between +rich and poor.</p> + +<p>It was this Debs who said, “While there is a +lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal +element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, +I am not free.”</p> + +<p>It was this man of simple and genuine American +traditions, born in an American family in an Indiana +town, a Socialist, of whom the anarchist +Vanzetti said in that last public speech he was +to make: “There is the best man I ever cast my +eyes upon since I lived, a man that will last and +will grow always more near to and more dear to +the heart of the people, so long as admiration +for goodness, for virtues, and for sacrifice will +last. I mean Eugene Victor Debs.”</p> + +<p>Vanzetti was not to hear Aldino Felicani saying +of himself and Sacco, “Ah, these are the very +best men I must ever hope to know!”</p> + +<p>It is a truism that what a man is, what he does, +in his own lifetime influences his fellow men. The +miracle of influence does not lie in that fact. The +miracle of influence lies, rather, in the continued +life of influence after the death of the individual +who has exerted it. In this is found the dynamics +of an idea,—directed energy released by means +of an idea which controls social and moral +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_94">[Pg 94]</span>movements, hundreds of years, thousands of years, +after its release,—a poem thousands of years old +to which the heart and mind of man still answer; +or a Messiah whose gospel becomes more potent +with the marching centuries. It is because he possesses +such influence, great in a lifetime, but in +death potentially greater than in life, that the +idealist, whether he be liberal or conservative or +radical, is, and always will be, dangerous.</p> + +<p>The lives of Sacco, Vanzetti, and Debs define, +without words, the significance, the character, and +the service of the so-called “radical.” In symbol +the influence of these three, and the influence of +other idealists, will have more and more power +as the years go on,—not greatness gone or greatness +vanished, but greatness growing, widening +out forever, their names already known to millions +of human beings the world over, inspiring +symbols of courage and of loving-kindness.

Vassar, +Barnard, Wellesley, Radcliffe, and other women’s colleges +were “hotbeds of Bolshevism,” etc. But “Smith +Seems Sane,” and Mount Holyoke and Bryn Mawr +escaped slashing by signature altogether. A “Miss Smith” +of the Vassar faculty—too apparently the entire Smith +family could not claim sanity!—had offended Coolidge +democracy by being favorably impressed with the liberalism +of the Soviet ambassador in Washington. Naughty +Miss Smith! “Democracy” as defined by Mr. Coolidge +is an over-lord who can do no wrong. And on the terms of +such a definition, in the third of these articles he proposed +this “Coolidgism”: “When a college professor is disloyal +to the government he is no longer a college professor.” +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_98">[Pg 98]</span>Query: What is he? This question the Poor Professor +himself sometimes alters nowadays to read: Where am I?</p> + +<p>Studious, scholarly Dr. Harry Laidler of the League +for Industrial Democracy had, according to the Vice +President, been raising the sort of sulphurous dust in the +women’s colleges to which perfect ladies do not refer. +A certain Vida Dalton (Dutton?) Scudder, professor of +English literature at Wellesley, had offended by suggesting +in the <cite>Socialist Review</cite> in an article with the title +“Socialism and Character” (a vicious title because such +a conjunction is impossible of course!) that Christianity +was being exploited for purposes not exactly Christlike. +It would seem that this is a thought that has occurred +to others, too. Freda Kirchwey had erred by showing a +“Williams boy” that Barnard women could define socialism. +In addition to all this—<i>ab urbe condita</i> horror +of horrors!—“a Mary Calkins, professor of philosophy” +(she is said to have voted for Debs for President at the +recent election) was guilty of “the creed of Internationalism.” +Run in on the same page (67) of that issue +where the vice president stopped was a short story, and +a loitering eye stopped beside this phrase: “‘Oh, little +Eve,’ a sob caught in her own throat, ‘love never dies.’” +Usually the month they are born that kind of love and +story do die. But the kind of love at the heart of +Internationalism seems to have spread from its groups +of brave pioneers, among whom was “a Mary Calkins,” +and become a world-wide movement.</p> + +<p>In the next article for July the “Coolidgisms” continued. +The first article had been illustrated by a grandmotherly +looking wolf, spectacles on nose—the better to +see you, my dears!—and some plump little lambs among +which all college women will recognize themselves +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_99">[Pg 99]</span>instantly. But this second article has the picture of a +thoughtful young man resting elbow on desk, and resting +coiled upon his shoulder is a hooded cobra. Behind the +cobra is a phantom-like figure—evidently in the minds of +Mr. Coolidge and the illustrator intended to be a menacing +figure. It is, rather, for the phantom looks as if +under one interpretation of democracy he had had to +stand too long on an American bread-line.</p> + +<p>In this issue Dr. Harry F. Ward of Union Theological +Seminary and the Rand School came in for special attention, +one of the “Coolidgisms” being that “the good +is never self-existent.” An aspect of this “Coolidgism” +which has, perhaps, not occurred to Mr. Coolidge, is that +idealists—all too many for a “free” democracy—are having +to prove their devotion to the ideal all too often in +prison. Some of the themes of the same issue are “Red +Pedagogy,” our public schools, and “Trotsky <i>vs.</i> Washington.” +And the article closes under the caption: “In +Truth our Freedom Lies.” This moral fiat will bear +looking at twice, and may cause amusement or discomfort +to those who penetrate its sinister inversions.</p> + +<p>The third article in the August issue, also we understand +“collected” for Mr. Coolidge and then signed by +him, has a heavy muscular young woman seated on the +prostrate back of a Russian bear whose tongue is lolling +out helplessly as she jabs a two-edged sword down +through the back of Brother Bear. Study of the +young woman’s features, her figure and her draperies, +suggests that she has just stepped down from the Statue +of Liberty in order to take this firm seat. Whether the +bear is <i>de facto</i> or not the Soviet government, there are +some weak “radicals” who may find both the young +woman and the sword of “righteous authority” a bit +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_100">[Pg 100]</span>brutal, or at least lacking in Franciscan symbols of +Christianity.</p> + +<p>“Righteous authority” is the pivot thought on which +this third and last article in the <cite>Delineator</cite> by Calvin +Coolidge is swung. During many years now Mr. +Coolidge has wielded supreme authority in the United +States, among other acts carrying on an unauthorized +war against Nicaragua, and lending his silence, if not his +articles, to an unauthorized man-hunt not only for Sandino +outside the confines of the United States, but also for +brave liberals in the schools, the colleges, the churches, +and the labor organizations, who dare to interpret the +truth in the developing formulæ, political as well as +educational and religious, of a developing humanity.</p> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<div class="chapter"> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_101">[Pg 101]</span></p> + + + <h2 class="nobreak" id="APPENDIX_B"> + APPENDIX B + </h2> +</div> + + +<p>There is one address comment upon which it would +be my wish to omit from any summary of forces working +against freedom of speech. The man who gave this address +in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on June 30, 1927, to +the Kiwanis, is himself kind to little children. He has +been thoughtful of their welfare both in legislation and +control; eager for the safety of the road and for the reduction +of needless human suffering. But the author of +this address, which appeared first in the <cite>Boston Traveller</cite> +for June 30th and of which afterward some seventy-five +thousand copies were printed for distribution, leaves the +student of these issues no honorable choice except to +analyze the speciousness of his statements.</p> + +<p>Frank A. Goodwin begins this address, which is said to +have turned the tide of public opinion—the tuning fork +from which Governor Fuller took his pitch—with an +implied compliment on the Lawrence handling of the +strikes and the “Red murderers” who had been at that +time in action. Having established an association between +the character of what the Kiwanians had seen in +Lawrence and Sacco and Vanzetti whom they had not +seen, Mr. Goodwin then took about one hundred and +fifty words out of the context of a speech by Edward H. +James, the nephew of William James, which had been +given at Winter Garden in Lawrence on May 27th. +Mr. Goodwin refers to these words which, however +bravely meant, inevitably would be prejudicial in conservative +eyes, as coming from the “Socialist or Red.” +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">[Pg 102]</span>Since when have Socialists and Soviets been hand in +glove? If they have been, then the altogether delightful +“glove” the Socialists have received in Russia has been +wholesale imprisonment! This is the first of those inaccuracies +with which this pamphlet teems, and on the +basis of which public opinion was still further influenced.</p> + +<p>The Socialists have themselves been time and again +“broken” by the <i>status quo</i>. But in turn as a political +party they have broken nothing,—not even the driest twig +of government, for their ways are the slow constitutional +ways of education and legislation. But now, as far as +Frank Goodwin’s audience was concerned, he had tied +together “Red murderers” in the Lawrence strike, a +nephew of William James, socialism, Soviet Russia, and +two philosophic Anarchists. Breaking all the speed laws +of reasoning, Mr. Goodwin then established the guilt as +murderers of Sacco and Vanzetti, sideswiping, as he did +so, “pacifists and their college professor allies” in preventing +murderers “from getting their just deserts.” +Stepping on the gas, and traveling at the rate of a Studebaker +“Sheriff,” Mr. Goodwin whizzes down on Professor +Felix Frankfurter, Anita Whitney, Mooney and +Billings, the American Civil Liberties Union, R-revolution +(!), and a few other road obstructions.</p> + +<p>By this time Mr. Goodwin is getting his car so well in +hand that it will take almost any fence. He hurdles +California, skids as he reaches “some ministers of the +Gospel,” rights himself, and lands squarely in the midst +of the “Lusk Investigating Committee” where he was +really at home. All might have been well, but pulling +out the throttle, the then Registrar of Motor Vehicles +goes roaring forward onto a paragraph with the caption +of “WHOSE BRAINS GUIDE.” In this little +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_103">[Pg 103]</span>paragraph, with his careful use of words, he rolls James +Maurer, tosses “the notorious Elizabeth Gurley Flynn,” +Dean Roscoe Pound, and a few tender little Socialists +like Morris Hillquit, Scott Nearing, Norman Hapgood, +Upton Sinclair, ricochets on Professor Frankfurter, and +goes smash into Roger Baldwin, William Z. Foster, and +Lenin.</p> + +<p>His Sheriff being provided with a wonder-working +bumper, despite collision on he goes, though in exactly +the opposite direction. Neither geography nor the direction +in which Mr. Goodwin is now going is any longer a +matter of importance to him. He happens to be in the +Connecticut Valley but does not know it! For just +ahead he has seen a group which he calls “College Professors +Reds,” and he is in full flight. Mr. Goodwin +shows his genuine Americanism by baiting the college +professor, the worm of our national wit. What is more +the “professors” here excoriated are in the leading colleges +for women. But it is a long worm that has no +turning, and apparently these poor down-trodden things +have turned. It would seem they are making a direct +assault on the human family, for Mr. Goodwin writes:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>“Another obstacle is the home and the family, and a widespread +assault is now being made on the sanctity of marriage +and sacred family relations, and it is being made with great +success in the leading colleges for women, and small wonder, +for we find the presidents and professors of most of them +members of the Baldwin-Foster committee, or its allied organizations.”</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>Exactly what is this Baldwin-Foster Committee to which +Mr. Goodwin refers with such precision? But no matter, +and there you are, all tied up again and together: the +“promiscuity” of our women’s colleges and college women +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_104">[Pg 104]</span>in general, and Sacco and Vanzetti. Pulling out the +choke of his trick car Mr. Goodwin rushes up over the +Amherst Notch, screeching through Old Hadley, making +a record run down upon the Hankins questionnaire in +Northampton. He wrenches a few of this college instructor’s +misguided questions altogether out of their +context, thereby subverting their sociologic intention. +Waving these questions indignantly, Mr. Goodwin honks +out this paragraph:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>“It may be interesting to note that almost 100% of the presidents +and teachers in these colleges for women have signed +petitions for the release of Sacco and Vanzetti. It might be +well before long for the various states to found and support +colleges for women where decency and morality will be taught.”</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>Those who have taken a prurient interest in the questions +selected by Mr. Goodwin would do well to read the +entire questionnaire. However much the keen scholar +who is at the head of Smith, and Mr. Hankins himself, +and other college professors, and presidents, may have +regretted what seems a lack of judgment shown in a few +of the questions asked, those who read the questionnaire +as a whole will get, not the false perspective of Mr. +Goodwin’s methods but a true perspective of the whole +sociologic enquiry. And in conclusion, what in the world +is the connection between a class questionnaire and the +Sacco-Vanzetti frame-up?</p> + +<p>At the top of page 11 the Sheriff had grazed Dr. S. +Parkes Cadman. This was unfortunate, for now Mr. +Goodwin, for reasons no one can understand, Dr. Cadman +least of all, is headed directly upon the Garland +Fund. He now charges Robert Morss Lovett, Lewis +Gannett, Norman Thomas, Roger Baldwin (of course!), +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">[Pg 105]</span>the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the Fellowship of +Youth for Peace, and returns to the Federal Council of +Churches and Emma Goldman. This return must surprise +many, including Emma Goldman herself. Since +when has her association with the Federal Council of +Churches been established as even the remotest possibility? +Mr. Goodwin is now going at a record-breaking pace. +Two-thirds down the page, his car fairly leaps into the +air, and the one-time Registrar of Motor Vehicles is heard +speaking these words:</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>... “The time has come to stop treating this thing as a +joke. An organized minority, bent on evil, cannot be ignored, +when led by desperate, unscrupulous, able men, with unlimited +money, and particularly when aided, regardless of their motives, +by those who control our colleges, and the Federal Council of +Churches.”</p> +</blockquote> + +<p>Mr. Goodwin, now being profoundly stirred, is at his +best in such penetrating remarks as this: “An organized +minority, bent on evil.” Will some of the members of +the Federal Council of Churches, Dr. Cadman and +Bishop McConnell, for example, please step forward and +explain why they are so naughty! And after they have +been heard, will a judicious selection from the Presidents +of the demoralized colleges for women, President Neilson, +President Woolley, President MacCracken, please explain +to an anxious public why, despite the fact that no one of +them is even that mildest of all “Reds,” a constitutional +Socialist, they are always called “Red”? Is the <cite>Manchester +Guardian Weekly</cite> right when it says: “There +are, perhaps, too many societies of one sort or another in +the world already, but there seems to be a real need for +one addition—a Society for the Protection of Good +Americans from the Publicity which is Awarded to +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_106">[Pg 106]</span>the Others.” Surely, no matter what Mr. Goodwin and +some thousands among other notable groups such as the +Daughters of the American Revolution owe them, by +way of apology, the college presidents must understand +that they owe the public a pleasant explanation for the +reasons why Mr. Goodwin and others should be allowed +to slander them.</p> + +<p>But the Registrar of Motor Vehicles and his Sheriff +are growing tired. Despite the fact that up and down +several pages he has been scooping the Connecticut Valley, +Mr. Goodwin failed to refer to Waldo Cook and the +<cite>Springfield Republican</cite>, and none have done more valiant +service for freedom of speech and justice than these two. +With weariness there comes upon Mr. Goodwin the +meditative spirit. He is slowing down; he is going to +shut off his motor; and one of the boldest drives to +demolish truth ever undertaken is almost over,—certainly +since the Mitchell Palmer, Lusk and <cite>Delineator</cite>-Coolidge +days. As he dreams, peaceful voices are heard, +and he invokes the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign +Wars, Spanish War Veterans, and other such non-militant +(!) organizations. Reaching the last page all are +found joining hands with the Daughters of the American +Revolution. It is a pretty picture of accord, except for +the fact that one is left wondering whether even the +genial Daughters would have quite enough hands to go +around....</p> + +<p>In her series of “Blue Menace” articles which +appeared in the <cite>Springfield Republican</cite> from March 19 +to 27, 1928,⁠<a id="FNanchor_18_18" href="#Footnote_18_18" class="fnanchor">[18]</a> Elizabeth McCausland has given clearly +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">[Pg 107]</span>the factors which lie behind the so-called “blacklists” and +the final outbursts of the D.A.R.: the activities of the +Palmer deportation raids, the Lusk legislative committee, +the Key Men of America, the Industrial Defense Association +with Headquarters at Boston, the Massachusetts +Public Interests League, together with the activities of +many other reactionary organizations, whose use of data +was often as inaccurate as it was reactionary.</p> + +<p>Is it on the basis of such carefully compiled data as +these by Mr. Goodwin that the public is to draw its +conclusions with regard to the value of the service of +our educational and religious organizations, and with +regard to the guilt or innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti? +In such material as that cited is the level of a primitive +mentality, the taboos and spooks, specters and witch +doctors of savages,—in short a reversion to physical levels +down to which graft and greed, selfishness and sensuality, +are fast taking the American public.
