Second TTsk Or Weinberg, Alleged Bomb
PIofter, Is Starred In San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, February 90
ASSOCIATED Press Israel Weinberg, n
jitney bus driver yesterday was
brought from the county Jail where he
has spent the last nineteen months
without bail and was put on trial for
the second time, over the objections
of the prosecution, on a murder charge
growing out of bomb explosion here
in 1916.
Weinberg was acquitted November
81, last, by a jury which deliberated
twenty minutes, of one of nine muir
der charges originally brought against
him. Applications for his release on
bail were granted by two judges be
fore whom six of the remaining charges
were pending, but were refused by
Superior Judge Frank H. Dunno, in
whose court two indictments were
brought. A writ of habeas corpus for
release on bail was refused also by the
state district court Of appeal.
District Attorney Charles M. Flick
crt whose office conducted four pre-
vious murder trials which grew out of
the explosion, contended that Vein.
berg should not be tried the second
time until the state supreme court had
decided upon the pending appeal of
Thomas j. Mooney, another defendant
in the bomb murder cases, from a
death sentence imposed upon him.
Superior Judge George II. Caba
Miss, before whom Weinberg's trial
began today, decided last week that
the defendant was entitled to a
speedy trial; that he was not concerned
with the outcome Of the Mooney ap-
| peal.
Family Is Considered
Weinberg is in the county Jail
once acquitted,' Judge Cabaniss said
"He is unable to support his family
and has been denied bail. Mrs. Rena
Mooney, also acquitted of one charge
has offered to waive her right to re
trial in favor of Weinberg because he
has family and she has no one need
ing her support.
Mrs Mooney is the wife of Thomas
j. Mooney. She was acquitted of one
| of the murder charges against her il
connection with the blast. She also has
been held for the last nineteen month,
in Jail without bail. Efforts of cOun
sci to persuade Judge Dunno to gram
her release on bond were unavailing.

ANOTHER RULE OF REASON.

The supreme court of the United States
stated rule of reason in it's decision in the
case Of the government against the United Shoe
Machinery company Answering the govern
ment's contention that the company is an or
ganization in restraint Of trade and should be
broken up, the court said: ''The idea is repe-
lent that so complete an instrumentality should
be dismantled and it's concentration and eff
cheney lost" This. statement is SO reasonable
that it may well rank with another rule of rea-
son stated years ago by the same court. The
thought so clearly expressed in the majority
opinion is in line with beliefs long held by far
sighted men who have recognized the danger
in the attitude of the federal department OF JUS
tice toward business combinations. In the case
just decided the government contended not only
that the company was an unlawful trust but
that its so-called Tying leases were illegal
under the Sherman law. There is no merit IN
these contentious, according to the majority
opinion, which declared that the remarkable
growth of the company was due to efficient
management and not to oppression. There is
nothing in this opinion to encourage persons
who believe that business should be condemned
because it is big

PROUD TO FIGHT.

President Wilson struck responsive chord
in patriotic breasts when he declared in New
York City recently that we must win the war,
must win it greatly and worthily, and that 1--WE
can be proud to fight for mankind This is
the American idea, to win the war at whatever
cost. To win it greatly is to break militarism
into pieces and then pulverize the fragments so
that the old machine can never be patched up
and put together again. To win it worthily is
to win it by our valor and sacrifice equal to that
of our allies, instead of helping them to win it,
as we started out to, by supplying their war
needs at get rich quick prices. Ana the presl
dent sounded note which vibrated in all true
hearts in declaring that we could be proud to
fight for mankind. That had the right ring to
it. That is the sort of pride the average citi-
zen understands. The pride that is too proud to
fight bewildered him. He revolved it In his
mind with panied perplexity. He realized that
there might be pride of that description and
that it might be very much superior to the COM
mon kind with which he was familiar But It
was outside his experience, beyond his mental
grasp; while the pride which is proud to fight
for mankind is within his comprehension and
is the kind Of pride he knows.

FRANCE LOOKS AHEAD.

The Guaranty Trust company, of New York
City, discussing plans the French people are
making to meet after-war conditions, says
America may well look to France for example
and inspiration in preparations for developing
her foreign trade after the present struggle is
over. 1t quotes an English observer as saying
that France probably will make greater prog
ress in the next thirty years than any other
European country, view which seems to be
based on the professed intention of the French
people to keep under mobilization, for con-
siderable period after peace comes, that spirit
Of unity, cooperation and concentration in en-
terprise that has kept the nation from vassalage
during the last three and half years." Of
course the value of that spirit is beyond price,
and it is conceivable that cooperation will
prove as powerful a factor in economic develop
ment after peace as it has been in the success
full conduct of the war.
France is said to recognize the double char
acter of her problem. The country must be re-
stored and relationships with other countries re-
established. She will buy in the United States
great quantities of raw materials building sup
plies and machinery. She expects us to serve
her interests as well as our own by permitting
her to pay for these by selling here many
articles which we formerly bought in Germany
She will not be disappointed.
. France has learned to depend upon herself
for many things formerly bought in Germany
We are learning the same lesson But com
plete independence is neither desirable nor pos

A DARING EXPERIMENT.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: 1t is
possible that many Of the railway
presidents are not peculiarly lifted
for the work that is now uppermost.
Many were chosen for their ability
to finance the roads and to deal with
the public, and for their grasp on
problems entering into competitive
railroading rather than for their skill
in moving traffic. 1t is easy to say
that all such should be displaced by
operating experts, but there is no
automatic way of passing on qualifi-
cations The important thing is who
is to decide as to qualifications. Mr..
McAdoo has neither the time. the
experience nor the acquaintance He
must perforce rely on subordinates,
as to whose character and qualifica-
lions the public knows little. Mr..
McAdoo's experiment is daring but
he doubtless realizes that he will be
held to strict accountability for re-
suits.

Your article on John Chinaman in

timely but bears the impress of the
keenest and most intelligent thought
on a question which has drawn out a
lot OF jingoism. 1t was refreshing to
read so exhaustive a treatise in SO

It has been my plea for many years
that this country should employ
much OF its energies in teaching the
celestials the essentials of our polit-
ical and religious freedom. and this
as a matter of self-defense against a
people who, by their very numbers,
were becoming more and more a men,

Knows the ambitions thwarted the readings but to miss
Mans full fruition, because she all this
She clasps her weak closer closer frantic hold
Trying to him, love is not blind.
Did she who led that darkened prisoned soul
Out to the light,
Not the little
Lacked sound and voice and sight?
Blind her weakness? Nay,
Love the weakness knows, and knowing
Strives and waits, and counts no time too long,
No task hard, to make the weak strong.
Love blind? Love only fails to
will despair failure hopeless fault
Love is not blind love
And seeing loses thought of self in love.
IT'S only love could hold
The weak ones hand

And finch not at the blood, the weakening pain,
That would at last bring life,
Life death itself, again,
No, love is not blind.
