Going Out in a Spark
After many long years,
Sacco and Vanzetti were finally
executed today. If you don't
know the story, let me give you
some background information
before I tell you the good news
of today.
The terrible couple,
Sacco and Vanzetti, murdered
two innocent people and
before leaving the scene, they
fled with around $15,000.
Thankfully, the two were not
smart enough to leave their car
that they used in the crime
alone, and the police were able
to pick them up so that justice
Sacco and Vanzetti
could be served. While they
claim that they are innocent
and just being framed, the
Court, thankfully, won?t have
it. Even though the police
never found any of the money
or had much other evidence
By: Daisy Sjolseth
besides the car, it was obvious
that they did it because they?re
Italian. Also, the two were
known to have been anarchists,
against the government of our
great country of America. I don't
understand how anyone could
be, since America always does
right, and has/ will never done
anything wrong except for not
executing the pair earlier).
Some ignorant people
have tried to protest their
sentence. They believe that the
courts are being unfair to Sacco
and Vanzetti because of their

"Long liveanarchy!"
anarchist backgrounds and the
fact that they are Italian, but I
believe that the courts would
have made this same decision
if they were native born, white,
patriotic Americans. Even
though the courts are taking an
extremely unbiased opinion, I
really think that they should
consider the two things
because since they are
anarchists, they would do
anything to hurt the peace of
America, and this would
definitely be a way to do that.
Also all Italians are part of
gangs, and therefore would do
something like this, because of
how violent they are. And
speaking of gangs, at one
point, Celestino Madeiros, who
was already in jail for murder,
confessed to the crime by lying
and saying that he did it with
the Joe Morelli gang
(History.com). This was
obviously an ?Italian
brotherhood? sort of thing
because Madeiros had already
received the death sentence.
Going back to the news
today, Sacco and Vanzetti were
brought to justice with the
electric chair. As a last minute
plea, the two appealed to
Governor Fuller, who,
3
- Nicola Sacco
fortunately, shut them down
quickly. Sacco went first, going
to the electric chair at 12:11
and pronounced dead at 12:19,
and Vanzetti followed, being
sent to the chair at 12:20 and
being pronounced dead at
12:26 (NY Times). And just
beofre them, Madeiros, the
same one who falsely
confessed to the South
Braintree case (of Sacco and
Vanzetti), was sent to the
electric chair for the death of a
bank cashier.
They both tried to
appeal to the courts and the
governor with their last words.
Sacco said goodbye to his wife
and his kids, that surprisingly
turned out to be very
emotional, but quickly showed
his true colors when he yelled,
?long live anarchy!? And
Vanzetti, who never broke
character of being a
uncontrollable Italian when he
said that dying was fine with
him as long as he could get his
idea across that anarchy was a
better option than our current
government situation, which I
believe is the dumbest quote in
history (NY Times). But, in the
end, I?m just glad that they are Protesters in the street.
finally gone.

Every young boy grows up in this

nation to one day make it big. I see it on
every street corner, kids replicating the
game of baseball, using cul de sacs as the
diamond, and make-shift bats, and
household objects as bases. This is
understandable, though. Who wouldn?t
want to be a sports star, captivating
American?s hearts, making the big bucks,
and enjoying the invigorating feeling of
playing baseball. Who wouldn't want to be
Babe Ruth, the greatest player in the game, Baseball batter
smashing dingers out the park, or Ty
Cobbs, the notorious base stealer from
Detroit. Who wouldn?t want to be a part of
the unifying force of America right now,
something that everyone can enjoy as a
spectator, as a player, as a coach. Call me
biased if you will, but I believe that the
game of baseball is something that will
continue to grow and be loved by the
public. No other sport compares- not the
nascent game of football, nor the
unprofessional sport of basketball. What

Not to mention the

questionable umpiring, slapdash

And then there?s the league president,
Rube Foster, who disproportionally
favors his own team, which only adds to
the unappealing idea of a negro league.
Americans love sports, but do
Americans love sports so much, that
we?d be generous enough to gift the
negroes with a league of their own to
enjoy? I mean, equality is something far
from being achieved for today. In the
future? Perhaps. But the gradual
degradation of America?s greatness
mustn't start now, not with sports.
Since the beginning of
baseball, the intent was to to
provide a healthy, wholesome, fun
way of enjoying the outdoors and
exercising, however, now with this
attempted intrusion, the greatness
of the game is at stake. Apparently,
there are some Americans that do
not care for the preservation of
muscular christianity. ?Muscular Yankee stadium Negro League team
Christianity can be defined as a
Christian commitment to health and
manliness. Its origins can be traced
to the New Testament, which
sanctions manly exertion (Mark
11:15) and physical health (1 Cor.
6:19-20) (infed.org).? Furthermore,
it is extremely disappointing that
the black race, and the supporters of
them, want to defy the word of god.
If the desegregation of baseball
does take place, I will have no
choice but to lose all respect for the
game, and believe that it would

The Image above represents the vices in

American sports. Sports neglect the freedom of
women, because there weren't very many options
for them to enjoy. In addition, in the introduction
of muscular Christianity ,8 protestants were very
much against it. Furthermore, with baseball and
all sports, the exclusion of blacks was very
common, because they were seen as inferior and
undeserving.

primates not too long ago. This
theory of evolution, based on
?science?, is being put to the test
against Christian teachings in the
small all-American town of Dayton,
Tennessee, in a trial that will go
down in history as the bloody
battle between religion and
science.
Due to the controversy and
notability of this debate, it has
attracted big names in the legal
business. The famous Clarence
Darrow is defending John Scopes,
a teacher accused of going against
Tennessee law and teaching
evolution to students. The defense
believes that the evidence for
Charles Darwin?s theory of
evolution is inexcusable. For
example, in the New York Times
article, ?Answer to Bryan on
Evolution?, the anonymous author
arrogantly supports Darrow?s
stance and states that the

prosecution, William Jennings
Bryan, is misleading and
misinforming the public with false
religious information ( p.3). This
article represents the threat that
good American Christians face
because many of these
self-proclaimed men of science
are attempting to remove religion
from the education of our children.
Do you really want the purity of
our school systems to be spoiled
by these dangerous theories of
life? I know I don?t.

(Bryan?s Last Speech). Bryan
used his faith and
knowledge of the great
gospel to defend the state of
Tennessee and its laws of
the land.And with this
potency and courage against
the swelling scientific
community, Bryan
succeeded in finding the
defendant, John Scopes,
guilty of his crime against
religion. However, this trial
represents a lot more than
our alleged monkey past, it
has highlighted a new shift
in beliefs away from
religion. Without the
integrity and greatness of
Christianity, are we doomed
to an immoral future? If
that?s the direction we?re
headed, then we might be
the descendents of monkeys
after all.

William Jennings Bryan argues for the prosecution.
