This. however. but challenges the eN-
istence of all power, for a governmental
power which has no sanction to it and

power.
No Basis for Contention
1T is argued, however, TIA; although
this is abstractly true. it is not con-
Ct etely so because as compelled military
service is repugnant TO a free gov
eminent. and in conflict with all the
great guarantees OF the constitution as
to individual liberty, it must be assumed
that the authority to raise armies was
intended 10 be limited TO the RICH. TO
call an army into existence counting
alone upon the willingness Of the c.ti-

need. that is, i'm time of war But the

of foundation that il leaves not even
a shadow OF ground upon which to base

Small Boy Meets
Horrible Death

Richard Deem Jenkins, 1S-year-Old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Jenkins
Of Jenkins Station on the Great
Northern, just two miles south Of
Franklinton, died Sunday as the re-
suit OF the horrible accident which
befell him Friday.
The boy went to the grind stone,
operated by the pulleys of the Kerr
bawmill, and in trying to attach the
belt, preparatory to grinding his ak,
the sleeve Of his coat became en-
tangled in the machinery, drawing the
arm in the belt and driving it around
the pulley, finally twisting it entirely
from the body. DR.. Jones was inme-
diately summoned to the scene and
ybandaged the shoulder and lacerated
side, the shock the boy sustained
seeming at first to be very slight. He
expressed the greatest hopefulness
from the first, telling his parents re-
peatedly that he was coming through
all right. He rested well through the
remainder of the day and night, but
ON Saturday it was seen that he was
gradually weakening, and the end
came at 2:20 in the morning. Young
Richard was laid to rest Monday
morning on knoll near his home. the
funeral services being conducted by
Reverend Joe Bateman, assisted by
Reverend F. n. Sweeney and C. II.
Kimberlin. The Franklinton Boy
Scouts, of which young Jenkins was q
member, attended the service in a
body.
Richard Deeh was the youngest of
eleven living children of Mr.. and
Mrs. jenkins. The sad accident is
deeply deplored and universal sym
patty and concern are expressed for
the bereaved rents.-Era Leader.

Woman and the Law
Magic City Tonight

The struggle of a woman for her
child and the lengths to which she will
go for its protection are picturized
with tremendous dramatic intensity
in the William Fox photoplay, "Wom-
an and the Law which viii be the
attraction at the Magic City Theater
tonight December S. This picture play
Twas written and staged by R. A.
Walsh the brilliant young director Of
the Fox forces, and it presents a pic
Iture Of timely and pertinent interest
to everyone.
Based on the internationally sensa-
tional De Saulles case, which so
shocked the United States and South
America and which was discussed in
every home in the country, it is said,
the thrilling moment when the wom-
an who has slain for the sake of her
child faces the jury which is to de-
eide her fate, depicts a situation to
hold the most hardened playgoer
spellbound.
Meeting beautiful heiress in
South America, young American
college man marries her and brings
her.to New York.
Fer time all goes well with them.
The bride is happy in the home which
her husband has made for her in the
greatAcity and she is slow to realize
how he is bored by her company and
longs for his old companions of the
gay life of the city.
After a child was born to them he
soon Nearies and makes life hideous
for her with his escapades with mo-
torious women. She bears with him
until he takes her child from her.
Then the elemental passions leap to
the surface, she kills him and is
forced to face the law. It is left to
the jury to decide her fate. The
question placed squarely before them
is the question that this play places
sQuarely before every person who
sees it thrown on the screen:
Are there provocations which jus
tify a woman to kill?
And the jury decides in a scene
that viii live long in the memory Of
everyone who sees it.

Judge Who Doomed
Mooney to Death
Asks a New Trial
Declares Evidence of Fraud
and Conspiracy Is Shown
Against Labor Leader

san FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-A let
ter from Judge Franklin A. Griffin, who
tried and sentences Thomas j. Mooney,
to Governor Stephens, asking that
Mooney be given new trial because
OF evidences of fraud conspiracy
against him, was made public here to-
day. The letter was written November
19. Mooney was convicted OF murder
IN connection with a bomb explosion
here, and is to be hanged December 13
unless the Governor interferes.
Commenting. on his previons plea to
U. ). Webb, Attorney General of the
state, that Mooney be retired, Judge
Griffin said in the letter:
II believed then that simple justicc
and fair play demanded such action,
and from that position | have never
tor moment receded. On the con-
trary, that stand has been by later de-
ve!opments greatly strengthened"
Judge Griffin characterized as open
to attack the testimony Of Frank C.
Oxman, of Durkee, Ore, cattleman;
Mrs: Nellie Edeau and her daughter,
Sadie, and John Mcdonald.
Defence attorneys had contended the
testimony OF these witnesses was un-
worthy Of credence, and that in OK
mitted.
"The situation of Mooney is that he
stands condemned to death upon evil
dence concerning the truth of which
1 to say the least, there has arisen very
grave doubt" the letter said.
/ "The highest courts in the state and
nation have declared themselves to be
without power to relieve him. Upoh
the shoulders of the Chief Executive
therefore, rests this great RESPONSE
, bility."
/ A strike resolution was promulgated
| by the local machinists' lodge to-day
/ and the announcement made that the
San Francisco Labor Council would
meet tomorrow night to conside,
strike action in behalf of Thomas j
Mooney.
The machinists' resolution, repre-
senting $500 mechanics, asked that the
Labor Council place the matter OF 9
strike up TO the other organizations
