PET IsMs AS WAR MEASURES

Hon. C. o. Bailey, of Sioux Falls.
In speech before state lawyers ASSOC
ciation-"During the tendency of the
great struggle. all minor political, in
dustrial and social issues should be
laid aside. StrSnge as 1t may seem,
this automatic principle has not been
recognized by a large proportion OF
the community and every man with a
political ism to exploit has seized
the opportunity to take advantage OF
the necessities OF the nation and of
the world, in order to force the adop-
ton of his own pet theory as a part
OF the social, political or industrial
| system. The prohibitionists have be-
ieaguered congress and the state leg
islatnres, urging the adoption OF their
pet obsession rs a war measure
| Likewise the woman s~uffragists have
deemed 1t a favorable opportunity to
force compliance with their ideas by
taking advantage of the national me-
| cessities. The labor unions have taxi
en- congress by the throat and obtain
| ed concessions that would have
been granted had it not been for
the existence OF the war. The advo-
Gates Of. the railroads. the t~elegraphs
and other public utilities, and those
favoring state socialism Of svery de-
gree have all united to force the coun-

experiment which bids fair to disrupt,

MONEYS LIFE SPARED
Labor Mans Sentence Commut-
ed to Life Imprisonment.
Convict Issues Statement From Cell In
San Quentin Protesting Against /,
Living Death.

Sacramento, Cal.-The sentence Of
Thomas J. Mooney, sentenced to bs
hanged on December 13 for the deaths
of ten persons killed by bomb eXplo-
sion in San Francisco during pre-
paredness parade in July, 1916. was
commuted by Governor w. D. Stephens
to Imprisonment for life. Court action
to save Mooney from the gallows had
been exhausted, the Supreme Court Of
the United States having recently de-
cided it could not review the case.
Mooney, from his cell in Death
Row" at San Quentin penitentiary, Isl
sued a statement, protesting against
the governors action in committing his
sentence.
Governor Stephens statement an.
nouncing the communication said that in
considering the case he had before
him "the urgent appeal of the Presi.
dent of the United States that | grant
commuation."
"Originally, in January of this
year." said the governor, Il received
letter from the President asking ME il
1t would not be possible to postpone
the execution of Mooney until he could
be tried upon one Of the other indict-
ments against him. Inasmuch as an
appeal already had been taken to the
supreme court of California, which ap.
peal itself acted as stay of execution,
there was at that time no occasion for
action on my part. I take it that the
President was not correctly Informed
as to the status Of the case"
In explaining why he had not felt
called on to act previously the gov-
ernOr said:
1.-The case as presented to the CALI
fornia courts was that Of murder, with
out further evidence of motive than
the impossible tenets of anarchists,
whose sympathies for the German
cause in the war are well known.
Their wild pacifist theories fitted into
the widespread activities or the hal-
ser's agents in this country.
"a number Of persons Of pronounced
anarchistic tendencies were arrested
shortly after the explosion, and of
these Warren X. Billings was convict
ed and sentenced to life Imprisonment
and Thomas J. Mooney found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged. So long
as avenues of appeal to the courts re-
mained open to Mooney, and he was
availing himself thereof, deemed it
improper for executive authority to In
terfere."
