SENATOR WYE ON COURTS

T absolutely agree with the President that to instill greater respect for law is one of our fore most duties, but I want to point out that if law is to be respected, it must deal out even-handed ] justice.
 "No government can long e1l- due if any considerable portion Of the people have reason to feel that the courts are corrupt, that decisions are dispensed accord ing to class distinction, or that the humblest or most despise5 citizen can be Wrongfully de- prived of property or personal liberty.

COURT DECIDES CITY IS
 RESPONSIBLE

A city must keep it's streets safe for traffic, the Supreme Court of Washington, sitting en banc, ruled in upholding a de- cision recently. Three justices, however, dissented, declaring that a city is mot an insurer of safety of travel on it's streets"
 The decision upheld that part of a $10,000 damage verdict in King County awarding Louis H. Gabrielson recovery from the city of Seattle and c. c. Perrine. Perrine's automobile struck a greasy spot on Seneca Street be- tween Third and Fourth Avenues and skidded for a block, knock ing Gabrielson from his sign painting job on the route. The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company and the Sound Con- 5tTuction & Engineering Com pany were relieved of damages by the high court.

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT
 ON CAPITAL

1 Alluding to the concentration
 of capital, Governor Roosevelt |of New York recently said:
 This means something pretty
 serious. It is pretty serious for
 any individual to go out against
 these big combinations. People
 hesitate to do so. The inten-
 tion of the men working on
 these consultations may be the
 the best. They doubtless think 1 it is the best so far as they themselves are concerned. And it is, for them. But they are be- coming increasingly more power full in the if1nuence they are building in state and nation, an influence that some day will have to f1be met.
 "This will have to be combat ted just as was the power of the old baronS and the earlier kings, |all if whom believed they were conducting things for the con- mon good. How we shall suc- cessfully deal with these prob lems will depend on two things; upon the attitude of the people themselves, and on retaining in office people who will look after the retention of offices in the hands of the people,"
 Just Fits Petersburg Situation
 The above expression by the governor of New York fittingly expresses the future of Peters burg in event the hydro-elec is sold to the Foshay or any oth- CT private interest which has operation of public utilities.
 The people of Petersburg will have to consider the influence of such a corporation in municipal affairs and it's domination and rule of the city, especially in re- lation to securing to that corpor- ation special favors and privileg- les.

APPEAL TO HOOVER FOR TOM
 MOONEY

Effort is being made by cer- tain Progressives to have Presi- dent Hoover exercise executive clemency in the case of Tom Mooney, jailed labor leader of San Francisco. The latest to in tercede for Mooney is Senator Wye.
 While he did not agree with the opinions of Mooney and Bill ings, "that is beside the ques- tion" he declared in the Senate before it's adjournment. "The facts are that it has been dem onstrated that Mooney and Bill ings were entirely innocent of the crime for which they were convicted.

ANOTHER REASON FOR THE
 PRESENT CRIME WAVE

Ruth St. Denis, prominent on the stage, in Seattle recently ex- pressed herself relative to the prevalent crime wave in the United States. It isn't liquor and it isn't war that's responsible for the crime wave, she declared. It's just lack of self-expression.
 "Our young people don't do anything for themselves any more. They have everything done for them. They don't sing or dance-they ask father for money to go to vaudeville or to the movies. Many of them don't play tennis or golf-they pay to see professionals play baseball or football.
 ''The result is that they have no natural outlet-and so it takes an unnatural form. There is nothing so sane as self-expres- sion-and if it became the rule instead of the exception our problem would be largely solv- ed"
 
 Said an old Indian woman ov- CT twenty years ago: "The youth of today use too much canned foods; too much of their think ing is done for them; they do not get out and work out their own problems of life as did their
 grandfathers. They are becom- ing a generation of weddings.
 They cannot think or do for themselves"
 High pressure education, high spots with the smaller essentials
 left out; skimm reading, with
 very little of the solid substan-
 tial reading that would tend to
 make ones brain work to digest
 the matter; too much play and
 not enough serious acceptance ot
 the responsibilities of life. All
 have a bearing on the present
 crime wave.

APPEAL TO MOTORISTS AND
 PARENTS

The traffic situation, the mar row streets and lack of traffic re- gulation makes imperative CO., operation of motor drivers and parents in Petersburg. The fol- lowing by Police Captain J. War ren Smith of Seattle, is worthy of serious consideration:
 "This is a dangerous time of the year, with children out of school running around the streets. Parents should see that their children go to established playgrounds for their recreation, and motorists should keep a con- stant watch for them.
 You can't expect a child to use discretion, and motorists should keep constantly in mind the fact that,a boy or girl is always like ly to dash into the street in front of them.
 "Lacks Consideration
 "Practically every accident is the fault of the driver who fail ed to show consideration for oth- CT motorists or pedestrians.
 Keep your brakes constantly in repair, keep your headlights adjusted, drive carefully and watch for children in the streets and cars at intersections.
 To parents Captain Smith says:
 Discourage your children from playing ball in the streets.
 Don't let them go coasting down thoroughfares in their wa gons.
 Lon ' let them SUeaI Jhelr rides or hang onto the tires of moving cars.
 Warn them of running into the street at all times and espe- cially from between parked cars.
 Have them use the play grounds as much as possible in stead of the streets and side walks.
 If motorists and parents will cooperate with the police we will all have an amazing reduction in the accident toll to show for it at the end of the year."

were part of the "frame-up." :" The others have been complete ly discredited. All ten of the surviving jurors who originally declared Mooney guilty have asked for his pardon.
 Not only the jury, but the trial judge, also believes Moon ey innocent, The two assistant district attorneys who helped conduct the trial, the two cap tains of police who prepared the evidence and the attorney gen. eral of California have petition ed for the pardon of Mooney and Billings.
 There is no question at all as to the complete innocence of Mooney and Billings" Nye de- clared.. Ut is becoming appar- ent that the same public utility corporations which c0nspired to put the two men in jail desire to keep them there.
 Three governors have been asked to pardon Mooney and Billings, but apparently these public utilities exercise a great deal of political power in Calif- ornia.
 There is evidence that the Pacific Gas and Electric Com pany, whose detective engineer ed the frame-up, has in the past few years spent huge sums of money in California politics.
 Apparently three successive governors have not dared to go contrary to the wishes of these campaign contributors.
 Tt seems to me that the case of Mooney and Billings is no longer the sole concern of the state of California. There are hundreds of thousands of peo- pie in the United States whose respect for law is justifably weakened as the result of this iagrant miscarriage of justice.
 Tn his campaign to compel greater respect for law, it seems to me that President Hoover may properly use his influence to see that some action is taken in correcting this shameful in justice"
 Senator Wheeler of Montana branded the Mooney imprison- ment as "one of the foulest con- spiracies ever perpetrated in this country"
 Tt was done because he was active in labor circles" declar- ed the Montana Senator.

DRY LAW VIOLATION
MAY BREAK LEASE
Philadelphia Property Owners Ben
eft by Change Planned for
Padlocking Law.

As the result of a conference between
| q special committee representing the
Philadelphia Real Estate Board and
Col. Wayne, prohibition administrator
OF the Philadelphia district, Philadel-
phia property owners will have more
opportunity in the future to protect
themselves against the effect Of pad
locking and to terminate leases upon
information from the prohibition ad-
ministrator that a property or proper
ties is being used in violation Of the
prohibition law.
Under the present method OF pad
locking properties, where there is
repeated violation of the prohibition
law, the real hardship is forced upon
the property owner who is the innocent
party in the matter, the National As
ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards points
out.
The Philadelphia Real Estate Board
committee placed before Col. Wayne.
for his opinion, q clause that might be
used in leases in the future. The clause
Is as follows: ut is further agreed
that any violation OF the prohibition
enforcement laws of the State or Fed
eral Government shall give the lessor
the right to Immediately determine and
end this lease and to re-enter and
take possession of the demised prem
ises. And further, that information
tiled with the landlord by the prohi-
bition administrator for this district
TO the effect that said premises are
being used in violation of the State
or Federal prohibition laws shall be
sufficient evidence to give the lessor
the right to determine and end this
lease with no liability upon the lessor
for any untrue statement in said infor-
nation or mistake of fact contained
therein"
The clause was accepted and 1t was
agreed that the information should be
placed before the property owners by
