Peblished Daily by The Star Publisht exchange connection ——— Ce, Phene Main 696 Private ) departmeasts, | Give Mooney Liberty or Death Tom Mooney’s case is not settled by the action of the governor of California in commuting his sentence from ‘death to imprisonment for life. f ; Whether Mooney is guilty or innocent, that isn’t justice. } If he is guilty, he is a cold-blooded, wholesale mur- i derer, who deserves to hang. , . If he is innocent, there is no justification for keeping him in San Quentin prison, that grave of the living, for the rest of his days. He is not-half-guilty, half-innocent. The crime for which he was convicted was the bomb ‘explosion at the Preparedness parade in San Francisco, July 26, 1916. Scores of workingmen and women were killed or wounded. Anarchists were suspected. But the crime was fixed on Tom Mooney, a labor agitator, his wife, and three companions. Mooney was convicted. Then new evidence came out, | which indicated that the most damaging testimony against Mooney may have been perjured. | Mrs. Mooney was acquitted. | The supreme courts of California and of the United States refused to order a new trial for Mooney. They con-| tended they could act only on the actual evidence on which | the conviction was based. The findings of the jury, on the| evidence it had, were confirmed. The alleged injustice to Mooney was used as anti-| American propaganda in Russia. It had some weight in swinging Russia away from the allies. The president interested himself in the case, because of these international complications. A commission appointed by the United States depart- ment of labor investigated, and reported grave irregulari- ties in the conviction of Mooney. Accusations of dishonesty were made against some of his prosecutors. Still the courts said they couldn't act, and the governor of California indicated he wouldn't act—until finally, pro-| tests of labor growing so strong, Governor Stephens com- muted the sentence to life imprisonment. So that Mooney still stands convicted of murder, the) evidence in his favor disregarded in court. _ The best way to settle the Mooney case is to try him If there is no legal way to order a new trial, the Cali- fornia legislature should pass such a law. Then, if Mooney is convicted again, let him be hanged. If acquitted, let him be freed. + Northcliffe and the London Times, Premier Lloyd George, Sir Frederick Smith and Sir George Cave of Britain, are unanimously for bringing William Hohen- zollern to trial and punishment. Evidently British leaders are able to hear the voice of public sentiment quite clearly. Only 14 more days to Christmas! Our artist shows Santa Claus traveling by airplane. He’s up to date. That’s the swiftest method of travel. You'll need to hurry to keep up with Santa Claus! Only 14 more shopping days before Christmas! "Shop early! Shop today! Don’t put it off a minute! The Christmas saint no longer travels by the old rein- deer-sled plan. It’s too slow for this fast age. Putting off Christmas shopping is as out of date as traveling across the continent by ox-cart. You see, it’s a case of first come, first served. And there aren’t too many clerks this year, you know. Clerks| are still trying to do double duty to tide over the labor shortage. If you want to be waited on promptly, shop early! Shop while the shopping is good—in the early hours of the day. Shop early while gift assortments in the stores are full and complete. That will make your task of picking a gift ever so much easier. Whatever you do, shop early! Early in the day! Early in the season! Why try to start an argument as to just who won the war? It was everybody's job, and prettly nearly everybody got busy. There's credit and honor enough to satisfy all the nations, classes and individuals. A truce to fussing! Join the Red Cross z With the advent of peace, the work of the Red Cross is not, by any means, over. In many fields its energies must be increased. The Red Cross never sleeps—is never idle. It is hu- manity’s mother. Wherever a son or a daughter of earth is in distress the Red Cross aims to furnish relief. And there are millions in this country and in stricken Europe who need the services of the Red Cross, Are you a member of this organization? In all likeli- hood, you are.
