But the truth will not down! And Iknow of no greater triumph of the
indefinable sense of justice possessed by the public than the insistence that
these two men have a square deal. Professor Felix Frankfurther of Harvard
published a history of the case, showing its injustice to these convicted
men, and this book has strangely enough become one of the best sellers of
the hour. Professor Frankfurther has been attacked, of course. Some of
his opponents have shown not merely a lack of good judgment but of good
manners as_well. By the time this appears the Governor of Massachusetts
will have done something to redeem the good name of his state. Feeling
runs high in Boston and old friends and acquaintances have become enemies
as a result of this storm that has been raised about the ears of that amazing
judge. All of which is a good sign and there is an element in the country,
and a considerable element at that, which is willing to sacrifice a great deal
in behalf of justice.

The Jews of Germany ore perfectly justified in demanding that the
United States immigration authorities change their classification of German
Jews entering this country from "Hebrew" to "German." Such a classifi-
cation plays into the hands of the German anti-Semitic party, which insits
that German Jews are not German.

Can't scrub the militarist feeling out of the German hide. The organiz-
ation of reactionary soldiers known as the Steel Helmets, which held a mon-
ster reunion and demonstration in Berlin the other slay, gives one an appre-
ciation that militarism in the German republic is still to be reckoned with.
A group of them marched through the streets of West Berlin distributing
anti-Semitic literature, and 20 of them were arrested.

Whie on the subject of Germany, I notice that finally there has des-eloped
important anti-Ford propaganda in that country. It takes some time to
discover the real Ford, but the world is now making up for lost time. A
newspaper in Berlin told its readers that:

1s.

Ford prescribes a murderous speed for his workers, treating them
with savage brutality as soulless machines. Ruthlessness brought
hint $500,000,000 net profit in five years, but his methods created
a system of servilism and espionage. Ile is now on the downward
grade as the outpput of his factories decreased 30 per cent in 1926
and 25 per cent of his cars remained unsold despite the most cun-
ning propaganda throughout the world. . . Ford only works with
a calculator's pencil. Human beings mean nothing to him ns he
throws them aside like scrap iron when they become mentally and
physically exhausted after three, five or ten years,

If this sort of thing keeps up the Ford myth will be a thing of the past.

Earle D. Bruner, superintendent of the George Junior Republic of West-
ern Pennsylvania, has just handed toe a book which he wrote and which has
recently been published by Doubleday, Page • Co. It is called "A Labora-
tory Experiment in Democracy." Mr. Bruner has taken types of boys and
girls who have been sent to the republic and through their experience there
shows the inestimable value of the George Junior Republic idea restoring
wayward boys and girls to their homes and to society, cured of their de-
linquencies, and with their self-respect unimpaired. There is not the
slightest suspicion of sectarianism in this movement which has come to be
looked upon by far-sighted students of juvenile delinquency as the best
corrective system yet devised in modern society. The president of the re-
public is Leonard S. Levin, a I'ittsburgh attorney, and vice-president of the
National Federation of Temple Brotherhoods.

Mr. Levin, ever since he reached maturity, has taken is deep interest in'
wayward boys and when he was approached by W. R. ("Daddy") George,
the founder of the George Junior Republic movement, to establish n re-
public in Western Pennsylvania. Mr. Levin fell in with the id:-a. When
it was dedicated, the late Thomas Mott Osborne, one-time warden of Sin•
Sing, was the principal speaker. And I recall Mr. Osborne saying on ills;
occasion that he had introduced into Sing Sing many of the self-govern
ment ideas of the Junior Republic. To my mind it is the only humane -s-
tem of making good men and women, good members of society, out of err

ing boys and girls. And I hope the day will come when the religious leaders
of this country will find time to make a nation-wide "drive" for Junior Re
publics in every state of the Union, and once and forever drive the obso-
let and infamous reformatory out of civilization. If fathers and mothers
would only take the time to learn of this republic idea and would find out
how many children have been saved to heart-broken parents by the republic
who otherwise might have become hardened criminals if they had been!
committed to a reformatory, they would rise up and bless the name of
"Daddy" George! And they would contribute to the support of these re-1
publics. Read Mr. Bruner's book. It will be well worth your time.

I must sacrifice another paragraph to tell you this story of a son of a
fine father and mother; morally and intellectually outstanding. Never a
blemish on the family name. This boy, 16 years old, was caught stealing.
The parents were heart-broken. Fortunately they were able to send him
to the George Junior Republic at Grove City, Paul, instead of a reforma-
tory. When he left the republic he seemed all right and was making splen-
did progress. Suddenly Mr. Bruner received this letter:

Dear Friend:—Again I stand within the shadow of the gates of
a penal institution. My parents have taken me to a specialist who
found that my relapses (moral) are due to a tumor on the brain.
In the hope of finding life I must face death, but even death is
preferable to this awful cloud under which my life is being spent. If
the operation be successful our acquaintanceship shall be renewed
nod 1 shall know what it is really to be a man. If it be unsuccessful,
I shall be spared the agonies that have been my lot, and ask you to
remember me not when the clouds were low on the horizon and the
storm breaking, but during the periods of life when the skies were
clear.

Could anything be more pathetic than this cry of a tortured soul? The
poor boy died and each year at the George Junior Republic a memorial serv.
Ice is held for him. Could anything more inhuman be imagined than to
have sent this boy, a criminal through no fault of his omit, to a penitentiary
or to a reformatory?

-
So Brother Brisbane suggests a Young Men's American A , dciatioo in-
stead of a Young Men's Hebrew Association or a Young Men's Christian
Association. Reads well. But it is just about as practical as getting the
Holy Name society, the Ku Klux Klan and the Independent Order Bliai
B'rith to hold • joint parade on St. Patrick's Day. College is one place
where the youth of America meet. But they don't get together. Maybe
oung Men's American Associations can be formed in our colleges. I dele-
gate the job to Arthur Brisbane.
