and United Prose Servion months, $2.78) year, ata, The per month, city, Le per week The Mooney Case Tom Mooney’s case is important, not so much for the determination of his own fate as for presenting the amazing question: “If an innocent man is convicted of a crime, is there no legal manner of ob- taining justice for him other than a pardon?” =| Perhaps you believe Mooney guilty. Or, maybe, {}you believe him innocent. That is not important. You are entitled to your own opinions on that. But, suppose Mooney IS innocent—just suppose it for the sake of the argument—is there no way for him to r his name? Strange tho it may appear, there IS no way. Unless, of course, a pardon is obtained—but a pardon is not necessarily a vindication. It is as often an act of mercy as an act of justice. Once a man is convicted of a crime the judge who sen- tenced him is powerless to do anything for him, even tho he becomes convinced that an injustice has been done. Judge Griffin, in San Francisco, is in that predicament. The prosecuting attorney can do nothing for him, unless, as Prosecutor Brady promises to do, he reopens the case to the extent of bringing out whatever new facts may influence the governor of California. Members of the jury that con- victed him, detectives who swore against him, all of them ' combined can do nothing for him. A conviction once ob- tained, stands; even the supreme court of the state refuses to grant a new trial because it finds no LEGAL errors in the first trial. The trial was conducted according to law—that’s all the supreme court looks to. No matter about the actual facts! Strange, isn’t it? If Mooney is really innocent he still is 'doomed unless the governor exercises “clemency.” If this thing can happen to Mooney it can happen to others.

A a pitiless cleanup. Coal Energy Everybody agrees the way to save the world from the destructive consequences of the war is to increase production. But few agree about the way to bring increased production about. German technica! | th perts are working on @ plan. They propose to save Germany by| fic electricity. And if Germany, why not the world? Instead of carting coal all over Germany, wasting enormous man power in mere distribution and frequently keeping factories on short fuel allowances, German engineers are arranging to erect huge electrical generators at the coal mines. Wires will then carry the power un-| interruptedly and with a minimum of waste to all parts of the country Electrical engines will replace steam engines and Germany's recon struction will be only a matter of time. ‘The German technicians extimate it will take from one to three years to bring about this transformation. That is to say, little longer than the unproductive period which has pasned since the signing of the armistica, After the Napoleonic wars had wrecked Europe materially and finan- clally, recovery was due solely to the greater production made possible by modern machinery and steam power. Electrical power is capable of serving the world now much as steam did after the waste that followed in Napoleon's wake, German engineers are pointing the way. America is equally interested with Europe in encouraging the new| method of distributing coal energy.
