TjlEANKLY we have never made up our minds about the
J? Mooney-Billings cases because we did not have the ma-
terial in hand for any thorough study of the evidence. That
' ' seems to have been little of an impediment for many people
however. -In most cases the verdict as to guilt or innocence
' ' depended on the bias of the one expressing an opinion. Thus
' the socialist-liberalist group was. sure that Mooney had, bees
railroaded, to prison. On the other hand, the red-chasers
were convinced of his guilt' Columns have been written on
v : both., sides with the prejudice of the writers the principal
3 substance disclosed in the articles.
: The findings of the state supreme court of California
in the Billings case will not satisfy those who think the pair
should be released. It will add more fuel to the flame of
hostility to our courts. The judges will be upbraided as T
" actionariea and tools of the San Francisco group which prose
" ! cuted the cases. But for those who have tried to keep an
open mind of the subject it is going to be hard to get around
:: the cahn and dispassionate review which the supreme court
; 4 has made. The court had every reason for blending mercy
jj with justice. An opinion contrary to the one written would
i have won favor in many quarters; and the outsider cannot
i help but conclude that they arrived at their conclusions after
careful, conscientious study 01 the transcript 01 me uiai as
i well as the affidavits subsequently filed.
We are genuinely sorry that Mooney and Billings were
not found guiltless. We had hoped that their inr.oence might
be established so theycould go free, because one's sympathy
goes out to fellows who have languished in prison for years.
Perhaps their good conduct does entitle them to a pardon;
but the review by the supreme court will satisfy many who
have tried to keep free from prejudice, that the men were not
railroaded to prison, that they had a fair trial and that the
evidence attested their guilt.
Figures on Unemployment
THE first release of data by the census bureau relating to
unemployment shows about 6 unemployed at the time
i the census was taken, in May. This runs a lot less than some
of the estimates which were many ranging from 21 to 15.
; It is always easy to exaggerate figures where immediate and
. exact statistics are not available. Tne xigures wnicn tne
census bureau used were obtained by taking the figures from
756 counties and 75 cities giving a fair cross-section of the
iduntry. The number reported not employed war 2 of the
TuvmiloT wn tat al ttv tfcrtea lefvif jr rWri trM htirpau fioTfTP
would be about of those normally gainfully employed.
; One reason why we think unemployment is greater than
:. it is is because when a hundred men are out of work they
may call at a' dozen places a day asking for jobs. . The total
of the calls would be 1200 and some people would think there
were 1200 men out of work because there were that many
v requests for employment. The actual difference between
1 good times and bad is only .about 10. -In bad times con
sumption may decline about 10. Production may decline
further, until like lumber it runs at less than 60 at present
Bat under-production eventually results in a vacuum of sup
ply and orders roll in calling for immediate delivery. ; Under
: ; production is taking place now in many lines, for actual eon
sumption goes on at about the same rate, though buying may

A New Board Secretary
IF the state board of education had to have a high-powered
secretary probably their choice of Dr. E. E. Lindsay was as
v good as raight.be made. For, our; part we do not see the
necessity of such an officer. It may complicate rather than
ease the situation in higher education in this state and adds
an expense which seems hardly warranted.
There is need for some business secretary perhaps who
could keep the minutes, collect data desired by the board and
serve purely in a clerical or secretarial capacity. But Dr.
Lindsay is a man of executive parts and his salary indicates
that he is to have executive' duties The danger is that this
f ; may make three "executives" of higher education in the state
. instead of two, the presidents of the university and estate
" college. The off ice of secretary of the board may work into
h a chancellorship of higher education with added expense to
the state and unsatisfactory administrative relations. .
Our hope had been that the board would function through
11 the executives of the individual institutions, giving each
president direct access to the board and direct responsibility
to the board, avoiding the complication and expense of a
: super-president The fact that the board creates the office
and makes the announcement in furtive fashion indicates its
own fear of reaction en- the part of the people.' The board
j has been getting on so well in handling the situation respect
ing higher education iri this state that we regret 4t has bees
talked into creating a new and costly office and inviting as
. we foresee administrative complications.

"Of course, Brander doesn't in-

"Ta think not?" Noll asked
anxiously.
"No." aald Dan'l. "Ha knovs

of the Sally."
Noll wagged his head dolefully.
"Aye. but will the man sea it
that way?"
-He'U hare to."
The captain looked no at r3aal
eautleusly.
"Did you mark the araaS In the

Danl snorted.
"Manger! Pshawl"
NoU shitted, uneasily In his
chair. -
"Jnst the same," he . aald.
?Manser holds, a sradxe against

Brander Is hl friend, yonTI

"You're not afraid of the two
ot them. There's no good, ril
undertake to see to that.!.'
You're, a atroag man, Danl,"
said old Noll. A strong, youth
ful man. But I'm getting old. Eh,
Danl" his voice broke with his
ptty of himself -eh Dan'l, I'Te
sailed the sea too long."
7 Danl said, with some scorn In
his tone:
"Nerertheleas, y o a ' r e not
afraid i." , ,.
. Faith opened the door from the
after cabin Jnst then and Deal
checked his word. Faith looked
from Dan'l to her husband, and
her eyes hardened as she looked
to Danl again. r v

Dan'l," she said mildly.
'Tm telling him." said Danl.
"that he should not permit Bran
der to claim the ambergris for
himself."
- Faith smiled a little.
"Yoa think Brander means to
do that?"
"He has done It. said Danl
stabbornly. "He claimed it In the
beginning; he speaks of what he
wUl da with it. He speaks br it

Dan'l might hare spoken, bat
Brander himself dropped down
the ladder from the deck Jnst
then; and Danl stood silently
for a moment, watching.
Brander looked at Faith, and
spoke to her and to the others.
Then he went into the cabin that
he shared with Willis. Cox and
closed th door. They aU knew
the thinness of the eabht walla.
What they might - say Brander
could hear distinctly. Danl
turned without a word and Went

Dan'l nodded his agreement.
"We'll see that he does not,

"Aye," said Tichel. "Aye,"
we'll see t that!"
Roy Kilcup was a partisan of
Danl in this as ta aU things,
and Roy alon faced Brander on
the matter. He asked the fourth
mate straightforwardlyi
"Look here, do yon claim
that ambergris is jours?"
Brander smiled at the hoy.
"Why, youngster? ho asked.
"Because I want to know,"
said Roy. "That's why."
"Well," Brander chuckled,
others want to know. They're
not. sleeping well of nights, for
wanting."
"Do you or don't you?" Roy
insisted.
Brander leaned toward him and
whispered amiably,
"I'll tell yon the day ire touch

for the first time in all his life,

In the beginning Brander was
forward, and a gulf separated
them not to mention 40 feet ot
deck. Faith stayed aft; Brander
stayed forward Afterward, when
Brander came into the cabin,
there was still a gulf. They met
at table; they encountered each
other, now and then, fat ths ca

his work to do, snd did It; and
Faith was much with Noll.
In the bush, by the pool. Faith
had forgotten Noll Wing for a
little space; and In the forgetting,
she and Brander had become
friends rery quickly. His ques
tion, as they reached the beach,
made her remember Noll; and
her answer to that question,
when she told him that she was
Noll's wife, bad reared a waU be
tween them. Brander was a man
too much of a man to forget
that she was Noll's wife. He did
not forget.
In the Sally, after Brander
came, aft, Faith was toward him

And there is another means ot

We have a fair parole law in
Oregon, compared with tho are
rage in this country, and mors
especially with that of any cue of
the backward states, like those la
tbe south. And we hare a fair sot
of statutes governing tho sentencing-

need better , laws to govern our
Judges on the bench and to give
directions to the parole board in

S
And wo need a better spirit ot
cooperation among our various 1
Judges, and a better spirit of co
operation, too, between members
of our parole board and the pris

criminal cods needs going orer;
needs revision in the light of

How so? Ws hare a form of

ever be sentenced to prison for
life, without hops of ever getting
a pardon. This is against modern
penology. It la tor men sent up

Every prison should have a

should ail be employed and each
one should bo paid a daily wage
for hie work, and tho combined
labor of tho men in every prison
should make the institution self

should bo given such work, aa will
most likely aid in their reforma
