Following are the concrete facts In
the Mooney case, as an answer to our
correspondent of Logan Oregon, that
claims he knows what he la talking
about. I think the fact Is our corres
pondent does not know the first thing
about the case, Thomas Mooney was
convicted on the evidence of prosti
tutes and dope fiends, which our friend
from Logan did not know. President
Wilson appointed a commission to in
vestigate the case; and the commis
sion waa horrified at the rotten dis
posal of Justice meted out to Mooney
and his co-defendants. At once they
demanded a new and clean trial Pres
ident Wilson, upon reviewing the case,
at once wired Governor Stephens and
demanded a new trial for the accused.
And for further Information of the
Logan correspondent, will say that the
organised labor is not clamoring to
have Mooney freed at this time. The
organized labor throughout the world
demands a new and clean trial tor
Mooney and strictly conform and up
hold the constitution of the United
States. If Mooney is found guilty of
this hideous crime the labor unons will
demand his life as any other .murderer
but not until then.

I contemplate adopting the beat
featurea of the various system that
came undT observation during my
tour of inspection of Eastern state
prisons," said Mr. Stevena, "but until
I have made a study of conditions at
the penitentiary I cannot outline my
policy In dotal!. Morale among pris
oners, In my judgmout. Is as essential
ns morale in the army, and it will be
my purpose to bring the prisoner In
thl respect up to the hlgheat pos
sible standard. I bollove in humanitar
ian principles, but will Insist also on
discipline. I will give the prisoners a
square deal, and will demand that they
also ba given one by my subordi
nate. It Is absolute! -essential that
the prisoner be put In a proper men
tal and physical state so that they
will bo equipped for the battle of life
that will follow their reloase, and I
will direct my endoavors along thla
line.

Is Important, and If steps In this direc
tion are needed at ttia pirson they
will be taken,"
