 A strange and famous case is this. It's bare outlines are known in every corner of the globe. Three gove-- nors have been importuned, presi- dent has intervened and protest meetings and sympathy strikes have been held in far-away lands.

 Mooney and Billings were work ingmen and union agitators. Mooney was born in Chicago of an humble family. He grew up as a moldsr and as a youth was an ardent social ist.

During an electri- clans strike in Oakland, Billings was arrested for possessing dynamite, convicted and sent to Folsom peni- tentiary.

Fickert, the corporation candidate. Fickert had dismissed all indic:- ments against the "higher-ups. Numerous strikes occurred.
 Business had organized the la " and order committee and had raised an sSo0,000 fund to put over the "open shop" Mooney, the irrepres- sible, had pulled an abortive strike of platform men against the street railway company. An electrical tower of the Sierra Light and Pow CT Company mad been dynamited.
 The coming preparedness parade, denounced by pacifists as an at tempt ito Prussianize America,' was under boycott by union labor. Bat tle-lines were drawn, the atmos- phere was surcharged with class feeling and passion.
 On July 22 at 2:06 D. m. there was an explosion at Steuart and Market streets among a crowd Of onlookers as the parade passed. Nine persons were killed and 40 injured.
 Paradcrs Warned In Advance
 Threatening notes had been sent to the mayor, to newspapers, to union labor leaders week before the parade warning them not to SUD- port the demonstration or march. No attempt was made to trace these anonymous notes. Witnesses stories that they had seen, not a suitcase, but bomb hurting through the

must he pay c dollar for fifty cents worth
 Of merchandise? |?

Is it fair to penalize a buyer so severely-simply because the &C., commodation is temporarily a necessity?
 Credit should not be a weapon- in the hands of those who have the power to give this credit. The family that buys necessities though they cannot pay at once in cash-deserves as much con- sideration-as fair price-as the buyer of luxuries.
 When you buy an automobile you don't pay cash-it's on a time payment plan. Yet the total of the time payment price is very little more than the cash price. The same applies to other luxur- ies-radios, refrigeratOrs and so forth.
 If it can be done with luxuries with a reasonable handling charge for financing-why not dresses, suits, coats, shoes, stock ings?
 Merchandise of standard names, of real quality, sold by reputable merchants - Merchandise that you would prefer to buy if you had the cash-Merchandise that looks good, that wears well-sold by merchants who do not hesitate to stand back of everything that they sell.
 H should Dc possible to ar- range c plan Which luould enable any deserUing man or Won1an to buy necessities
