SOUSA'S BAND
Headliner in State Fair En-

The 18th Ohio State Fair opens its
gates to the public on Monday, Au-
gust 27. Reviewing the elaborate
preparation and arrangements for the
1928 fair, Charles V. Truax, director,
declares that the people of Ohio may
expect the largest, most diversified
exposition in the more than three
quarters of century's existence of
the Ohio State Fair More success
fully than ever before the fair will
portray vividly and effectively the ag-
ricultural and industrial greatness of
Ohio. Not only will the fair be, as
always, great institution of visual
education and clearing house of
ideas, but it will also furnish wealth
of varied entertainment to it's pa
irons.
The liberal premiums and prizes
offered by the management, amount
ing to $150,000, have attracted some
of the finest livestock exhibits in the
country. Entries from 81 states and

stigmatized by perverted puritanical
morals and ideas.
A child has right to be born with
out stain and without the burden of
scorn. The shame that it was ever
otherwise is on our heads.
More power to California officials.
Here is an argument against the
charge that the Golden State has been
captured by wizened- minded ostro-
goths and perverted reactionaries
from the rural districts of the East.
But every medal has it's reverse
side, and the California medal is no
exception. The Golden State has had
three governors in office since the day
Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings
were sentenced to life Imprisonment
on what is now known to be perjured
testimony and brutal frame-up.
The present governor, Charles C.
Young, is known as one of the most
astute lawyers and accomplished
statesmen who has risen to the gov
ernor's chair in the Golden State. He
has always been abreast of events in
his state, and must know the details
of the conspiracy that sent these in
nocent men to prison II years ago.
He knows of the disclosure and the
incontrovertible facts that have come
to light in the case He need have
little additional evidence laid before
him.
Twelve years is long time for men
to lie in prison and doubly long has
been the deary drag to these men
who have seen their youth waste away
and the years go by.
There can be no valid reason why
these men can longer be held in pri-
son. Sentiment need not enter into
the case. Any honest Judge in the
world, reviewing the case, would say
that great wong and terrible in

justice had been inflicted upon these
two men.
For years, since the disclosures of
the conspiracy and the confessions of
those involved, an effort has been
made to get justice, but each gov
ernor has stubbornly set his jaw and
permitted the miscarriage of justice
to continue. Now an effort is to be
made to get Governor Young to par
don the men.
There are indications that Governor
Young is reluctant to pardon the men,
but is likely to offer them a parole.
The prisoners, especially Mooney, are
reluctant about accepting a parole on
an incriminating compromise. He is
a manly attitude in regard to the sit
uation
Mooney is strong in his will and de-
termination to have full vindication,
free and untrammeled freedom, or
nothing.
Everyone with a love for justice and
freedom should join in the appeal TO
the governor of California. In him
alone rests the power to restore these
men to their freedom. Nothing can
restore their lost years, but they can
retain their self-respect and go forth
into the world free from shame. The
shame and the blame rests on the peo-
pie of the state while these men are
in prison.

There are some left in New York
