Mooney Day

February is the month in which we celebrate the
birthdays Of Washington, the founder of a free ma
ton, and Lincoln, the liberator of slaves.
History is adding another anniversary to this
month, a day not of pride, but of humiliation. 1t is
called Mooney day" 1t marks the fifteenth ami
versary Of that Feb. "a, when out in San Francisco
Tom Mooney was sentenced to hang.
The day and the scene are more or less remote.
Mooney himself was a mere iron molder and union
leader Of only local note. The sentencing Of such a
person ordinarily would hardly have been news on
the day Of his doom. Certainly it would not be agi-
tating the minds Of men fifteen years ~afterward, in
a time when the world is a place of grim and mighty
doings.
Why, then, have Governors and legislators acted
for his pardon? Why has one American President
interviewed to save his life and the experts of an
other Presidents commission on law enforcement
spent time and money to issue a rebuke to CaHfor-
MAS courts?
Why have pardon resolutions been introduced into
congress? Why have&he entire organized labor and
church movements of America protested?
Why have mass meetings been held in Sweden, in
Australia, Germany, and other lands where the name
Of Mooney, the molder, is better known than that of
some Of Americas Presidents? Why are there being
held, in cities all over the United States and Europe
today, meetings demanding the freeing of this OBJ
scure working man and his more obscure companion.
Warren Billings?
The reason is that these men not only are inno-
cent, but, being innocent, they were made the victims
Of one Of historys foulest judicial conspiracies, in
which the court of a free republic was used by spe-
sial interests to obtain revenge instead of Justice.
There is glory as well as shame in this world
wide demonstration. 1t proves that men still fight
for justice. The tens of thousands who will meet in
mass protests today do not know Mooney nor Billings.
and probably never will.
They do not care what sort of citizens they were,
What kind of prisoners they are. They only know
that here are two Americans accused of a mass MUIR
der which they did not nor could not have commit
ted, and yet who were found guilty in a court of law
One to hang, the other to spend his life in prison.
This they know and this they fear. For. as long
as Mooney and Billings can be sent to jail by lying,
venal witnesses, not one man nor woman among this
nations 120y000,000 people is safe.
Mooney and Billings have become symbols through
out the world of mans i%nhumanity to man. AS has
been said of them, they are Something precious-a
summons to struggle against injustice not only in
California, but everywhere"
This is called the first annual Mooney dav. We
prayerfully hope that Governor Rolph of California
will make it the last.

WHY the Silence?

If there is any one question OF interest TO
the voters of this state at this time, it is the
problem of forcing the public utilities to keep
in step with the times and give rates that
are in keeping with Debated prices of labor
and commodities.
The problem is acute in Indianapolis. In
this city, the public service commission re-
fuses reductions on a statement Of earnings
that, so says the commission, is far differenS
from the one issued by the company for the
purpose of stock selling.
Governor Leslie might quite properly ask
his commission what it intends to do about
the matter. He might even ask the attorney
general to look over the law. Or he could
keep out of it, or mix in to see that the COM
mission does not embarrass the t%wo-fgured
utility.
The people have learned not to expect
much from Governor Leslie where utilities
are concerned, but they are hoping that the
next Governor will have fewer ties of SEN
timent to the utility interests.
For that reason, the silence on the part
of those who are hoping to be Governor is
strange.
Are these candidates all afraid of the
utilities? Are they hoping for the usual
big contributions?
The one candidate who is voicing his pro-
test against the l~egalized l~arcenies of these
utilities is Ward Hiner whose radio talks are
given in plain words.
Thus far he has not been crowded by
any mob of rivals who take the peoples point
of view.
Is there not one candidate onsone of the
big tickets who has enough courage and
enough intelligence to give the people a
break?

The Real Guilt

Some may find comedy in the adventure Of a IT.
year-old school girl who holds up eleven people with
a squirt gun and robs them.
Fathers of other girls do not find the episode so
humorous. They are wondering, perhaps, what may
happen to their own girls when tempted by bootleg
gin with minds filled with c~rime-worship by fiction
and film.
Society will try this girl in a criminal court under
laws made by adults who will not understand the
psychology of the new generation.
Society would not dare to scrutnize too closely
the source of guilt. If it did, there might be the dis
covery that this trip started in legislative halls when
misguided Puritanism supplanted moral teaching with
legal force.
Tho most notable example in this state was the
passage of the Wright bone dry law, still upon the
statutes.
How CHASTITY is the farce when under that law
it is possible for a young girl to be drugged with
illicit poisons to the point of madness, drugged to
an insanity that an hour of her young life threatens
her whole future?
Before prohibition a drunken girl would have been
The occasion of a most strict investigation, even I'M
der corrupt administrations, as to the source of the
liquor. The vendor would have been put out of bust-
ness. He might have been placed in Jail where he
would not sell liquor to children.
Today no one seems to be interestd in that phase
Of the matter. The law is futile. It stands as a
protector to the b~ootlegger. He has no reason to
fear inquiry, And tonight and every night other
young boys and girls of school age will easily find
vendors of these poisons.
The Wright law does not work. 1t can not work.
Its one effect seems to have made drinking fashion,
able on the part of the adult and an adventure on the
part of children.
Just how long the fathers and mothers of this
country will consent to a continuance of this menace
to their children, how long they will tolerate this real
protection to liquor selling which masquerades as a
law against liquor selling, how long they will permit
the foundations of character to be laid in written law
rather than in moral teachings, is a matter of con-
lecture.
1t would not be long if these parents had a real
chance to vote upon the question.

Is Britain Backing Japan?

Fears of Americans that the Tory-controled Brit
ish government will not cooperate in the proposed
international economic boycott of Japan are not
quoted by the policy statement of Sir john Simon to
the house of commons on Monday night.
There was no promise of any effective action in
restraint of the japanese m~ilitarsts and in defense
of the peace treaties.
AS reported by the London press dispatches:
George Lansbury, leader of the opposition, tried
to obtain from the government some statement con-
corning its attitude regarding an economic blockade
of japan. but Sir John was silent on that point i.
II was evident tonight, as at previous Shanghai de-
bates. that the sentiment Of the conservative major
itv in parliament and in the government is firmly
against taking any action that would arouse Japa-
nese hostility toward Great Britain"
From the foreign minister's statement that dis
turbances to peace do trade no good, and We do not
seek to get trade through a boycott of other people"
it seem a fair inference that the British government
will continue to join in blocking effective league or
other international action.
Despite the official report of the league commits
sion at Shanghai that the japanese army began the
present fighting; despite the repeated refusal Of ia
pan to submit the controversy to peaceful settle
ment. in contrast to the readiness of China to permit
arbitration: despite the five months in which the
british government, with its observers on the spot,
has had time to investigate the facts known to all
the newspaper readers of the world, Sir John, at

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

CECOND marriages for the middle-aged are fraught
- with danger. but fortune sometimes favors the
brave. Therefore the 50-year-old widower who asks
my approval for his approaching nuptials gets its, with
interest.
1t is hard for the person who has enjoyed long
years of happy marriage to live alone again. Men
especially are helpless in such circumstances and drift
about like a ship without a rudder. This accounts for
the fact that more widowers than widows remarry.
And there is no reason to assume that a second
marriage will not succeed, even though one does real
ize that the ardor of romantic first love seldom lives
again in the heart. There are other kinds of love
however. that are just as precious.
The man contemplating remarriege should try to
curb his illusions. If his first wife was a docile and
easy-going person, he is likely to believe that the sec
ond will be exactly the same. This often proves a fatal
error.
He will not visualize his life as the placid existence
it used to be, and, lost in this dream of recaptured
content, he will be as foolish as the adoleScent boy who
wonders on the perfection of his first sweetheart.
nor the second woman is never like her predecessor.
Il This means that the husband always must make
adjustments, and fashion his habits to another's plan
If he has been happy in his first union he certainly
can be happy in a second, but his chances Of being SO
are fewer.
And he must be alert for shams. MiddIe-aged
women are not so ingenious as girls. They often are
dissemblers aud not generally swayed by tender pas
sions to s~acri1cial lengths. They are expert at pull
ing the wool over mems eyes. especially if they have
been married before and understand male f~railties
Once convinced of the character of the lady, how
ever, the middle aged man should march boldly to the
altar. We have built up some beautiful, sentimental
legends about faithfulneSS to the dead. But the lv-
ing are the ones who deserve consideration. And the
tragedy Of growing old alone is very real.
