SAYS MOONEY
SHOULD HAVE
BEEN HANGED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. U,P) -
Tom Mooney should have been
hanged, according to Rep. Thomas
Blanton DemJ. Texas.
Blanton's view of the contro-
versial Mooney case was disclosed
today in printed testimony of a
house appropriations committee
hearing, at which a California ma
tional guard general appeared.
II will say, expressing only my
own view. that whenever you have
man in California who, in a pre-
paredness day parade, will throw
a bomb and kill 13 men, women
and children, instead of putting
him in the penitentiary, you ought
to hang him.
Then you would not have, 18
years afterwards newspapers con-
tinually drubbing your state Off
cials to turn that kind of an anar-
chist loose on the public again.
You ought to hang men of that
kind and get rid of them. There
has been more money spent and
wasted trying to get that anarchist.
Tom Mooney, out of the peniten-
tiary than has been spent for good
government there.
Il want to congratulate your
state of California, its officials and
its courts for not allowing that
fellow to get out. + make that
statement fearlessly on the rec

He has a vast estate; and an
Immense income it brings:
He thinks I'm poor; but count
wealth
In very different things.
She has fine homes, Jewels ana gold.
Rare beauty, charm and grace;
She pities me because I live
In such a modest place.
But as put wee baby shoes
On chubby little feet,
Amid worn toys and safety pins,
NY bliss is so complete.
Their vacant lives are sorroWful,
Fate, to them, little brings;
They have no babies; but count
Ny wealth in baby things.
