Is it worthwhile to save 7400
lives?
Life is cheap today, what with
Spaniards Sitting the throats of
brother Spaniards and japanese
bombing or machine-gunning the
Chinese. And yet life is not so
cheap in every part of the world
that it is not worth saving at all.
The United States may well be
proud of those 7400 lives saved 1t
didn't just happen. 1t was the re-
suit of careful planning, unrelent-
ing effort, willing cooperation
on the part of millions of United
States citizens.
1t came about this way. In 1887,
traffic fatalities in the United
States totaled $4,000. That is
tremendous, horrifyingg number of
victims of the mere routine OF
traffic. No other country APP
proaches it. That is because the
United States has come fartheSt

MOONEY PARDON A BLOT
ON STATES FAIR NAME
(Fresno Bee)

By grace of pardon issued by Gov
ernor Culbert L. Olson, Thomas J. Moo
ney is a free man today.
On Saturday last, the mighty power of
a persistent and unprincipled prOpa-
ganda finally triumphed over justice;
and one who was fairly tried and justly
convicted of one of the most heinous
Offenses in the history of California now
is able to go about boasting that he has
been vindicated completely that his eX-
oneration of guilt has been published to
the world.
And there are millions of people who
will believe this fairy tale and. in their
gross ignorance of the facts of the case,
actually rejoice that one convicted of
responsibility for the death of ten people
has been released from his alleged mar
tyrdom.
Yet the record has not been changed
by so much as one iota by the governors
deplorable action.
1t stands there for any one to read who
is willing to abide by the. truth and not
surrender his judgment and his con-
science alike to the hypnotic spell of
propaganda and deliberately created
emotionalist.
The Mooney case went through all
the processes of law known to the state
of California. No man ever was given
greater opportunity to prove to the
courts that he was guiltleSS. The case
was reviewed time and time again by the
state supreme court, the state and fed
aral appellate courts and finally by the
United States Superior Court, but the
result always was the same-the original
verdict of the San Francisco jury was
sustained
Five governors reviewed the case.
Of these at least three personally went
into the records thoroughly and searched
them for some reason that would Justify
the plea for pardon.
But all three-Stephens, Richardson
and YOung-came to the same conclu-
sion, that Mooney was guilty.
Governor Rolph asked Matt l. Sulli-
van, former chief justice of the state
supreme court, to make like inquiry
for him-to report impartially what he
honestly thought should be done on Moo
ney's pardon application.
The Sullivan findings again pointed
just as conclusively to the prisoners guilt
of planting the Preparedness Day parade
bomb.
It still remains incomprehensble how
any fair minded person could read Judge
Sullivan's report and still persist in the
belief of Moneys innocence.
Governor Olson elected to disregard
all this mountain high and compelling
testimony against Mooney and grant
him a pardon.
He will be fortunate, indeed, if some
day he does not come to regret bitterly
this pardon so undeservedly granted to
one who richly merted the death pen
atty.
In the words of Ben F. Lamborn, of
Alameda, a brother of one of the bomb
Victims the pardoning of Mooney was
a direct affront to the supreme court of
the State of California, the supreme
court of the United States and blot
on the fair name of our beloved state.

Afom-Smasher May
Take Texas Offer

BERKELEY, Nov 20. UP)-
The millions that Texas oil lands
have poured into its state university
lured DR.. Ernest O. Lawrence, 38-
year old Nobel prize winner of the
University of California today. But
if someone with a full purse should
offer the University of California
a MILLION dollars to further his ex-
periments, he would turn a deaf
ear on Texas.
Dr. Lawrence admitted today that
the University of Texas had made
him a very flattering offer to con-
tinue his research work on the
structure of the atom and that he
was giving it serious consideration.
The offer, it was learned, was
that the university would provide
up to $8,000,000 for new cyclotron
and radiation laboratory, as we'll as
an increase in salary.

The next day, (Thursday), he said,
was devoted to mopping up the
remaining barricades and snipers'
nests. Children lodged among ar

made to walk with their hands in
the air until they had passed pa

Miller pointed out that the 1910

put into effect last year and that
under the order cotton loans will
be available.
In the event the cotton program
is voted down in the referendum,
loans will not be available. Miller
declared that the present supply of
cotton in the United States totals
