Fourscore and seven years ago our

that all men are created equal
Now We are engaged IN a great

should do this.

Is rather for US TO be here dedicated

THE FRISCO FRAME-UP

President Wilson's personal COM
mission has made full report on
the Mooney eases in San Francisco,
and recommends that new trial
be given to the condemned man,
who was sentenced TO death on
testimony that has since been
proven to be perjured. One of the
things that has brought the case
to the attention of the nation at
large and secured this recommen-
dation is the storm of protest that
was aroused in liberal circles all
over the world and particularly in
Russia.
In no other case in the world
has there been displayed such an
mostly, bitterness, and hatred on
the part of the prosecution. Even
after it had been proven to the sat
isfaction of fair minded people that
the men were innocent and that
the prosecution had been instigated
by moneyed interests in the hope of
breaking up organized labor, the
prosecuting attorney brazenly con-
tinued the trials and reiterated his
determination TO hang the defend
ants. The Chamber of Commerce
of Frisco backed up the prosecution
with zeal. All the machinery of
the government was brought into
play to secures the conviction of
the unfortunate labor leaders.
Why was the government thus so
bitterly arrayed against labor
Isn't the government supposed to
be just and to Judge fairly and
impartially? Il is suppose to.
yes. And it is elected on that
theory. But that is merely one
Of the frauds pracsiced by the
moneyed and capitalist classes to
secure and keep control Of the gov
eminent for their own interest and
purposes. While pretending that
there are no classes, they make the
government a strictly capitalist
class affair. They easily control
both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, and are not much
concerned which is elected to pow
err. 1t is only when strictly
working class candidate is in the
field that they get uneasy.
The class nature Of our govern
ment is shown with such clearness
