GOVERNOR DOUBTS MONEYS
GUILT.

The communication of the sentence
of Thomas J. Mooney to life impris-
onment has created new element of
doubt as to his innocence or guilt.
The Governor of California, the same
as the trial judge, must doubt his
guilt, or he would not have commuted
his. sentence. If the Governor had no
doubt of Moneys guilt and yet COM
muted his sentence then he is not full
filling the duties of his office and
should be removed. For if any one
deserves hanging it is the man who is
guilty of perpetrating the San Fran
cisco Preparedness Day outrage. But
if half we read and hear is true of
the California officials there would be
absolutely no chance of Mooney re-
ceiving a communication of sentence if
there was not strong doubt of his
guilt. Now then if there does such
doubt exist would it be other than
fair and just to give the man another
chance toe prove his innocence or the
state to prove his guilt, by a re-trial
of his case?

TURK FIGHTS WITH FISTS
Story of a GalIipoIi "Scrap" That
Speaks Well for the "Un-
speakable."

There is tale of Gallipoli that
deals with fight In the open and ex-
hibits the "unspeakabie" Turk as
fair and worthy enemy. This is the
story
A young English officer, doing OBJ
servation work alone, was suddenly
confronted by a Turkish officer, SINH
larly engaged The Turk was as sur
prised as the Briton, but came forward
revolver in hand The Englishman
had no revolvers. He stood his ground,
his hands In the large pockets of his
tunic.
Seeing that his adversary was un-
armed, the Turk, much to the surprise
of the Briton, threw down his gun and
put up his fists in approved prize ring
style. The Englishman put himself
on guard. and the next moment the
Turk flung himself on him, and the
pair began to fight desperately.
The men were about the same age
the same weight and had adequate
knowledge of the art of boxing. They
fought without stopping for about ten
minutes. BY that time each was ex-
hausted, and then paused for a brief
rest, only to continue their little private
accounting when they had found their
breath.
Round after round the fight went on,
while out In the Gulf of Saros the
ships fred automatically, and back
of each of them the field artillery
thundered. Neither seemed to be able
to get any decisive advantage over the
other, and at last Turk and English
man rolled over on the ground and
laughed and laughed.
Just then the Englishman's hand
touched something. 1t was the Turks
pistol. He picked 1t up and handed 1t
to his enemy. Then the two young
men shook hands and each returned
to his own lines.

NATIONAL
LABoR's GREATER ARMY.

Some of the American soldiers re-
turning from the glorious victory on
bloody battlefelSs will meet half way
overseas some of their brothers cross
ing to the east to take part in the
second phase of the Struggle for free
dom.
Somewhere in midocean these ships
will pass and will speak to each other
in passing. One can readily imagine
the working men in uniform of the
army of liberation receiving the news
of the second expedition.
Then these workers will discuss
among themselves some new angles of
the situation. They will realize, most
of them, that this smaller expedi-
tionary force represents the greater
army, that or the second line OF de-
fense-American Labor
Workers in the first army are re

GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Of course the opponents of govern
ment control are raising an awful
howl because Uncle Sans first rail-
road year will close with a deficit of
00,OO0,o00 but they don't stop to
think that is going to take whole
lot more to rehabilitate all the worn
out roads in the country, and like
going into any other busfhess-so
much has to be put in before there is
any return-but eventually it all re-
turns with a handsome profit. But
even if there is no return in this in
stance the money has been well spent.
The eight hour day has been establish
ed and equal pay for equal work for
women and wages of the railway
workers has been increased by nearly
half billion dollars. Take the old
crossing watchmen alone. These poor
devils used to work twelve and four
teen hours day for less than existing
wages. Under government control
they are now working eight hours a
day and living wages, and there are
thousands of them. Thousands of
others, too numerous to mention, are
benefited in the same manner. Go
ahead Uncle Sam, spend another two
millions and if you get the same re-
suits that you obtained from the first
two millions you will find 80 per cent
of the people approving your action
1t was cheap! Cheap at twice the
price.

at Versailles.
This war was fought for democ-
racy. 1t was world struggle for
freedom of the oppressed.
The world owes debt immeasurable
to Woodrow Wilson for his immortal
utterances on "the world safe for
democracy. No one feels this more
deeply than American Labor.
Now that the first struggle is fin
ished Labor wants to make sure that
the freedom they have won on the
battlefelds of Flanders, as well as
in the workshops, factories, forests
and mines of America, shall in no
wise be abridged-that no part of the
victory shsl, be taken from them.
Labor wants to be assured that
predatory interests in America or in
other countries shall in no manner
rob the workers of any portion of the
victory they have gained.
Organized LABOR in America has
fullest confidence in the ability of
Samuel Gompers, James Duncan, John
R. Alpine, Frank Duffy and William
Green, to safeguard their interests
and to take council and give council
in the halls of Versailles.
Let no one mistake the temper of
Labor. Workers of America are pro-
ceeding in these days of reconstruc-
tion-as they did in the days of the
fghting-with honor and faith and a
determination not to be robbed of the
fruits of their victory.
Labor here kept the faith with their
brothers in the field in France
Labor here knows the returning
heroes, their sons and brothers, will
keep the faith with them in any
coming struggle on the industrial field
Organized Labor feels equal to the
task of safeguarding it's interests at
