In this instance it probably never viii
arise to the point of recognition"
Although 1t appears obvious that at
the time Of the trial Mooney was an
undesirable citizen with bad record,
says the Omaha World Herald that
fact will never reconcile men and wom-
en- who love justice to his punishment
for a crime of which. in their opinion,
he is innocent, and for which he was
convicted on perjured testimony" On
the other hand. the Boston Evening
Transcript remarks: Men who have
gone carefully over the record have ex-
pressed themselves as convinced that
the evidence for conviction was sufficient
without that of the Two witnesses who
were discredited. Had there appeared
a reasonable doubt of the mans guilt,
it is hardly conceivable that it would
not have been brought out to the salts
faction of court or Governor at some
stage of these successive appeals for
ciemency.'
Pointing out that long before this
Mooney could have had his freedom II
he were willing to apply for a parole,
the Scranton Times comments: Tom,
however, insists on his innocence and
declares his purpose of spending his life
inside unless given an outright pardon.
Application for a parole. he contends,
would be equivalent to an admission OF
guilt" The Rutland Daily Herald al
firms that lin case of doubt. naturally
the cautious executive declines to go
back of the record SO also the Lex
ington Leader: 1T is impossible to go
behind the case as it stands
As to Tom Mooney, himself, as pris-
oner. the Lincoln State Journal de-
scr'bas him as particularly diSagreeable
and i'll tempered" and notes that his
comments on hearing the Governors de-
cision revealed bitter hatred against
the existing system in this country that
will not aid in securing his release at
any future time" 1t IS the frank opin-
ion of the New York Sun that Mooney
himself has Jared badly at the hands of
his friends. If they had refrained from
their agitation he might by good con-
duct soon be released, as many life priS-
onerS are" this paper suggests. as it
records that "he has fallen in with the
effort to dramatic him" Along these
same lines speaks the Roanoke World
News saying: Apparently Mooney is to
be left in prison partly because a con-
siderable number of people in Califor-
MIA regard him as a bad actor who is
better locked up; and partly because OF
the CXtraVagant assertions and in1udi-
ciOus actions OF those who have volun-
teered as his defenders. Neither ground |
seems sufficient The WoTld-NeWs fur
ther asserts: UNLESS California is pre-
pared to defend the sentence on the
ground of a legal conviction beyond
reasonable doubt, it would do far better
to turn its prisoner loose. In fact, 1t 4
should have done so years ago"

ing out Of boycotts" The acting head
of the State Department has specifically
in mind, no doubt, the misguided effort
launched in the United States last Win
ter to embargo trade with Japan. Mr..
Castle now places oficially on record
that this Government has no sympathy
with such sanctions" as trade boy
colts and embargoes as a means either
of preserving peace or Furnishing peace
breaker. A boycott, to be effective,
means q blockade, the Acting Secretary
Of State points out. And" he adds,
If there is anything more likely to
lead to war than a blockade, I have
yet to hear of it,
1t is the conviction underlying the
Hoover doctrine that the organized
force of moral justice and modified
world opinion is the most potent pre-
ventive when war threatens The Pres
ident believes in all measures hon
estly to avert war but is determined
that these measures should not them
selves envisage war. He is consecrated
to the conclusion that "a stern deter
rent Of the use Of force would be to
make valueless the results OF war"
The Hoover doctrine, in short, seeks TO
ram into the worlds head that the
game of conquest is no longer worth
the candle. Once that realization takes
root, war for territorial gain is in sd
vance condemned to futility, because,
in Mr.. Castles words, 'the spoi1s of
war become Dead Sea fruits" Neither
men nor nations customarily embark
upon an adventure which they know
beforehand is going to be prohtless.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

A Prisoner Departs.
The world is growing good and kind
A man was sent away
Because a hasty frame Of mind
Had led him quite astray.
The warden sheds a bitter tear;
The guards are turning pale,
Because he made it very clear
He does not like their jail
They put new plumbing everywhere.
To drive away the gloom
Sweet flowers they select with care
And place them in his room.
In spite Of all, he left them fat.
Their pleas did not avail
He slammed the door and told then
that
He didn't like their Jail.

v yATERLAND, Lucerne.-To what
extent the motor car is respon-
" sible for increase in crime is as
/ yet impossible to determine
That 1t has been a great factor
in facilitating the escape Of criminals
and furthering the immunity with
which illegal activities of every sort may
be carried on are indisputable facts,
but attthe same time it may reasonably
be alleged that the police and all other
investigating and law-enforcing bodies
have been endowed with the same op-
portunities for energy and speed. If
the thief, manslayer or smuggler can
travel faster than he ever did before,
SO can the gendarmes, and unless the
vehicle of the malefactor is superior to
that OF the authorities. they can over
take him, too, provided the alarm Is
transmitted in time.
But there is the particular in which
the rogue on wheels has the advantage
of his pursuers. A little delay multi
plies many times his former chances OF
escape, and besides affords him easy
conveyance for the pernicious weapons
Of his trade, and commodious transport
for his ill-gotten or unlawful freight.
Besides its obvious contribution to crimes
OF depreciation and violence, the auto
mobile has been a convenient agency in
many unworthy intrigues and liaisons.
Irish Catholics
Urged to Help Poor.
Irish Independent, Dublin.-The an
nual report of the Particular Council
of the Derry City Conference Of the st.
Vincent de Paul Society states that the
prevailing distress, intensified by the
economic crisis, necessitated not only
much greater expenditure upon relief,
but also increased calls upon the leisured
members. The president said it was
depressing to see the number of Catho-
lies in Derry who were wasting their
time, money and morals attending pic
ture houses and other places of amuse-
ment
Speaking of Exeter, Maj Morris.
former governor of Dartmoor Prison,
said that some critics attributed the in
crease in crime to pampering in prison.
He would like to rig some OF those
critics up in prison suits OF clothes, give
them prison meals for week and let
them test the alleged luxury of cell
equipment. If the allegation that our
prison officers panpered prisoners was
allowed to go unrefuted, they would
have people saying they were not going
