CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON ~~ — (Official City, State and County Newspaper) ANOTHER MOONEY ANGLE | Governor C. C. Young of California seems to have laid ; down an entirely new principle of criminal law. | A few days ago the Los Angeles Church Federation wrote the governor asking an early review of Tom Mooney’s application for a pardon. Mooney, you recall, is the San Francisco labor organizer who has been in prison since 1916 on a charge of murder. Governor Young, writing his reply, put down the fol- Jowing amazing paragraphs: “If his innocence is established he should, of course, be set free irrespective of other considerations. If, how- ever, there is not a certainty of innocence, but only a doubt as to his guilt, his case should obviously be treated the same as that of any other prisoner. This would nor- mally mean a parole as the first step, with the possible consequent pardon as it might be justified in the future. “If there is a probability of his’ guilt, he ought to re- main right where he is, of course.” If this isn’t an entirely new principle of law, it comes mighty close to it. American law provides that any defendant must be convicted of guilt “beyond the shadow of any reasonable doubt.” No man can be found guilty on “probability.” Guilt must be proven, up to the hilt. The accused man gets the benefit of the doubt. The law was designed on the famous old theory that it is better for two guilty men to escape than for one innocent man to suffer. Governor Young seems to be reversing all the criminal courts of the land. t But that isn’t all of it. Mooney’s case has an importance far greater than that of the ordinary man who has suffered injustice. There are plenty of reasons for suspecting that he was arrested and convicted because the San Francisco capitalists did not like his union activities. Since his trial the testi- mony on which he was convicted has been shown to be perjured. The judge who sentenced him and the jurors who voted him guilty, as well as the police captain who handled the case against him, have been convinced of his innocence and have asked that he be pardoned. Thus it behooves the state to lean over backwards in dealing with his case. It ts especially important that he be given the benefit of every doubt. His liberty is not the chief thing at stake. The chief thing is the confidence of millions of ordinary men and ‘women in the fairness and decency of our social and legal system. Governor Young, babbling about “probability of guilt,” has it in his power to hit this confidence a knock-out blow. And, at the same time, he is in a fair way to write down his own name as that of a small and unchivalrous man. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE WEEDS That farmer or backyard gardener is counted shiftless and negligent who permits the weeds to overrun his fields and gardens to rob the crops and products of their nour- ishment. Even city folk, who buy their foods from the markets, know that the cultivated crops and vegetables cannot compete with the devouring weeds and that the farmer and gardener are given the cultivated plants to fight their battles for them. Tilness is the weed in the human body. Like that in the vegetable kingdom, it should be extracted by the roots before its treacherous vines sap the strength of the whole body. Every disease and disorder of the human body has its symptoms by which its presence may be noted, so those who neglect to root out their illnesses in their incipiency are like thé shiftless and negligent farm- er and gardener. man body is cancer. lives annually because it has been left to “kill the garden.” Like the weed in the field, this outlaw growth starts in a small and inconspicuous way and in the beginning gives but slight warning of its presence. Left to itself, the can- cer eventually becomes distributed throughout the body and lives at the body's expense. If not removed in time it overgrows the normal healthy life in its vicinity and causes the death of its victim—as the weed destroys the farmer's valuable crops. Recognizing the presence and the evil of cancer, it be- ; hooves all humanity to deal with it as the farmer deals with the weeds in his fields. A good gardener hoes his garden as rapidly as the weeds appear.

Communities, like individuals, thrive on praise. It inspires them to greater things. A little biting criticism also helps. To tell them they are either perfect or worthless is to invite stagnation. “Boosters” are ridiculed and “knockers” hated. And yet it is possible to combine the two and reduce the thing to a fine art. If you must publish your community's flaws and shortcomings do it by telling the world how it is going to overcome them.

Success, of all worldly things, is most sought after. It is also of all worldly things probably the least often ob- tained. The chief barriers to its attainment are two simple rules: Plan your work—work your plan. Simple rules, but to many insuperable—the unspanned chasm between the wagon and the star. Planning means thinking, analyzinz, systematizing— making things possible after the weaker nature has pro- nounced them impossible. Working means despising ease, forgetting hardships, laughing at discouragement—sticking until possibilities are turned into achievements. Plan your work and work your plan are basic, funda- mental, necessary—they are the universal laws of suc- cess. There never was a time when concentrated thought and unstinted effort were not rewarded by a full meas- ure of success, and there never will be. ‘Wealth is not the measure of success, but love of work is the first symptom. AN ARMED GERMANY AGAIN? Frank H. Simonds, who writes on European affairs with @ good deal of authority, takes an exceedingly gloomy view of what Europe's future will be if the nations of Europe do not follow the suggestions of the recent Geneva conference and reduce their armies. Writing in the June Review of Reviews, Mr. Simonds Predicts that maintenance by such major powers as France and Italy of their present armies will eventually for the year after making proper deductions for interest on his investment, depreciation and a salary of $5 a day for himself. The interest figured on his investment, on both land and equipment, was at the rate of 6 per cent. Depreciation charges were heavy enough so that the ma- chinery could be renewed in a period of six years. The review does not make it clear whether Mr. Anderson made any deductions for the produce consumed by his family and for rent, but this, in most instances, would be offset by labor supplied by his family and not included in his total of operating expenses. He raised wheat, corn, barley, oats and alfalfa, with a part of his farm reserved for pasturage. There is much of interest in this report and a few more like it will do much to create an interest in farm land as an investment. GIVE AND TAKE (St. Paul Dispatch) Good advice is cheap and the farmer has plenty of it. To take @ current example, he is being advised to build storage facilities so that it will not be necessary for him to rush his grain to market as soon as it is harvested next summer. With wheat below a dollar and predictions being made that it will go to 75 cents, it is obvious that this is good advice. Indeed it has been forestalled, for in North Da- kota and Montana state laws have been enacted this year experimenting with the idea of storage on the farm. Suc- cess or failure will be determined by the ability of farmers to convince bankers and other lending agencies that grain so stored is good security for loans to carry him through until prices improve. But first there must be suitable and safe storage facilities. Instead of making ft just as easy as possible for the farmer to provide himself with storage, congress takes building materials off the free list and makes brick, ce- ment, cedar and shingles subject to stiff duties. This means that it will cost the farmer more to do the very thing he is being advised to do in his,own behalf. Be- fore he is through the farmer may wish he had never been “relieved.” z | cause Germany, potentially the greatest military power of all, to rebuild a huge standing army. “For the moment, the question, so far as Germany is concerned, is in abeyance,” he writes. “While allied troops are on German soil and reparations are still to be adjusted the Germans are unlikely to break the contract which binds them to helplessness in the face of armed neighbors. “But no one believes that in the future Germany will stay disarmed. Thus the failure today at Geneva, if it stands, must foreshadow the return of Germany to the RURAL TRAFFIC DEATHS Automobiles continue to kill an ever-increasing number 0f people.

The total of county road bonds issued now nears 85 million dollars, and soon may reach a hundred millions. This was the bond issue total proposed by the Iowa legis- lature in an act since declared unconstitutional.
