Once More, the Mooney Case NO sooner dees the supreme court of California rule against recommending a pardon for Billings and the governor apply the same conclusion against Tom Mooney, than one of the chief prosecuting witnesses, John McDonald, bobs up in Baltimore and says he perjured himself in testifying against Mooney and Billings. He has returned to California and the supreme court there has consented to reopen the case and hear his testimony. The court has a difficult problem in test ing the credibility of this man McDonald. Whictf story is the court to believe, the one he told on the witness stand right ffpr riiA tiirflT8 or his new story? Did he tell the truth then, and is now a broken down teen years has changed his memory I ur is ne reaiiy suner ing from remorse and anxious to rectify his wrong and ap n:.!iM hi MnipTtcf hv teTIiner the truth now which will free the victims of his former testimony? We sannot answer these questions. However the court decides, it is sure to arouse hos tility, so sharply is opinion divided. WhPT the- rlismtches first told of the court's ruling ad- Verse to Billings, we believed guilt must have been positive. If it was, the language 01 us decree was far from reassuring. In fact so weak was its statement in some passages that one is surprised that it should eminate from a high judicial body. Its conclusion read "It It fairly Inferable froth his past and present affiliations that n-imn if PfUince wan familiar with the nlots and clans of this nrrrnn intimat a associates, and this belne o It is an al most irresistible conclusion that If prepare and plant the deadly time homo or the i-reyareaness way disaster, ho and hit intimate associates and codefendant, Mooney, ' a. . tJ e know, ana nave always Known woo aia. Mooney and Billings suffer rather a severe penalty for mere knowledge of the guilty ones. We know of no other case v. here a judicial conclusion that a person Knew who commut ed a crime was deemed sufficient for his own imprisonment. The Statesman passes no judgment as to the Mooney-; Billings case. If they are innocent they have suffered a mon- j serous perversion of justice. If they are guilty their impris onment has been proper under our form of punishment of crime. Whoever committed the crime, the blood of innocent victims was murderously spilled. The original crime itself seems to be overlooked. The Mooney committee with all its money apparently made no effort to bring anyone to justice v hom they claimed to be guilty. Such proof would have clear ed Mooney and Billings. . The people ef the country outside of California are in terested because of their sense of justice and fair play. They are not for punishing Mooney and Billings just because they are suspected of knowing who did it, nor because they were radicals. Nor do the people want to be led to false conclusions as to their innocence by the agitation of those who regard all radicals as innocent no matter what their offense. Under the circumstances the supreme court and governor of California are the authorities to make the investigation. They should make it in the light of the new evidence offered, and sift the facts thoroughly and honestly. And we hope their findings may be positive enough that the country can accept them, no rnatter what these findings are something which did not follow the rather weak decision made so recently by the court touching the Billings case. The Doom of Small Banks IT is always a painful thing for the state banking depart ment to have to take over a bank whose capital has be come impaired. Sometimes it becomes necessary that the in terests of the depositors may be better protected. The white flag that flutters from the front many a pang both to the bank owners and officers and tne ones whose savings are tied up. Fortunately, thanks to hon est and efficient administration, nowadys stockholders gen erally cet moat of their money back, sometimes all of it back. They lose the use of their money for a time and the bank fail ure comes as a shock to the town. The state department has just taken charge of the af fjirs of m. hank at Hamer. We only some $ 44,000. Most anyone would say that no bank can pay its running expenses on such a meager sum to do bns iness on. A bank makes its money on the margin between the interest it receives on loans and the interest it pays on savin its. Where the total is much less than a hundred thous and dollars, the -expenses eat up be no losses. It is a hard thing to say, but the safe thing and the best thing will be to chloroform gradually these institu tions. They should not be put should be liquidated in orderly manner without failure, or merged with neighboring banks. Superintendent Schramm has been endeavoring to bring the state banks up to a point of reasonable prosperity; arid has been encouraging merging of small institutions where the future appears hopeless. We doubt if legislation to hurry up the elimination is advisable; but the security of the funds of the people who deposit in these country banks demands tharj through the counsel and advice ment these weak institutions no loss to the stockholders. Polishing the SOME New Yorker who is out here as national director of the Oregon Trails Memorial association, complains that we are not at all excited about his centennial party which is planning on bringing a special side, we are just a bit ctrrfous of this Oregon Trails Memorial association. It has been op erating on rather a pretentious plane, and its costs must have greatly exceeded the profits on the special 50-cent pieces left over frcm Ezra Meeker days. We do not know why New York should be the headquarters for an association like this.

You. are liable te colds if yoa neglect to bathe regularly. In the hot weather, when the body wastes are thrown off by the skin in the perspiration, dally bathing la imperative if the skin is to be kept In good condition. Cleanliness of the mouth and teeth Is essential. The germs of colds, influenza and tuberculosis are ever present to make laroads In the body by way of the bom and month. The nostrils and mouth should be kept clean be cause they are the hiding place of many kinds ef germs. . With a reasonable care of Oar bodies we do not need to fear these germs. Bat when we are tired out or run down from bad habits of living and eating then it is that the resistance of disease is low and we are easy prey for tne germs. As a matter of fact, we are ter ribly careless of these bodies of ours. Haven't you seen boys and girls throw themselves, overheat ed, on the grass after a strenuots game of tennis, or even go In bathing when they are overheat ed. Then comes a chill, and they may be made ill by the quick cnilllng of the body. The condition called a "cold" Is almost always accompanied by constipation. One of the causes of constipation is eating too rap idly. Eat slowly. Don't bolt food. Chew it thoroughly. Do this because the processes of di gestion begin in the mouth. The time to deal with a cold is in its first stages. When yon have sneeziness, chilliness, running of me nose, a smarting or burning of the throat you may know trouble Is on the wav. The best thfng to do is to ret into a tub of water hot as yon can bear it. Add hot water as it cools. Keep this up for some time. Then ro to bed between blankets and drink a lot of hot water or hot lemonade after you get into bed. This will bring on perspiration, aid in this way the poisons are more Quickly thrown off from the body. After th sweating is over, sponge offi with cool water and get into a dry bed tor a good sleep. Ton prob ably will feel much better in the morning on waking. Every moment that can be spent out of doors in the summer time is a distinct asset for the coming winter months rn doors. Without plenty of sunshine and fresh air, at least moderate ex ercise every day, and a proper amound of rest and sleep, and well-balanced and regular meals, good health cannot be maintain ed. Lire rightly and the summer cold will he a thing of the past. S d cissore Squibs Editorial Bits from the Press of the State The county tomalssion Is study ing bids for andit of the county books.

Your sour faee Is too ngly for me to look at. Manger's none so particular. HeU drink, with me." It waa trne; Mauger had more than once accepted drink from the captain. Noll, at these times, watched the one-eyed man furtive ly, almost appeallngly. 1 was as If he sought to placate him and make a friend of htm. Hanger had a weak head; he was not one to stand much liquor. :t dizzied htm. and this amused NoU. That day, after Brander had refused him, Noll sent for Mauger, made the one-eyed men tipsy and laughed at the jest of It, Then, one day, this state of af fairs came abruptly to aa end. NoU went down Into the store room to tiU hie bottle, and the spigot on the -whiskey-barret gas ped and failed. The whiskey was gene. Nov Noll had given of the rum to the crew: he had exhausted that; hut the whiskey he kept jeal ously. He knew there anouid oe more much more gallons at the least. He turned the handle of the spigot again, tipped the barrel. unable to understand, hi oottie was half full, but no more came. He frowned, puzzled his heavy head, tried to understand. He came stumbling u out or tne storeroom at last, with the half- filled bottle in his hand; and the man's face was white. He sought Faith, held the bottle out to her. I ay ke stamerea. "its gone gone!" "What Is it, nou I" ratta ask ed sharply. "The whisky' gone." "Thank God!1 Faith tried. He glared at her thickly. "Eh You had a hand in it? Youve stole it awayf "No.w He looked at her and knew she ssoke the truth. He shook bis head. "Soma hound " he whispered, "They've atole It," She auestloned him: he had the shrewdness which occasionally characterised the alcoholic. Ho had kept some count of the whis ky used doting the cruise; he aaa himself tutea the barret tt weeks before. It was then a Quar ter full. The thefts that had ap peared In the fo'c'sTe could aot account for the rest.. There was still a considerable amount that must have been stolen, and that had not yet appeared. "It's aboard here, hv Juniterl he swore at last. "They've got It hid away. You, Faith " She shook her head. "No." he said plaeatlngly. "you would not do that trick not rob an old man.

They leaped out to obey him. not knowing what to expect. He reached the deck, still bellowing: "On deck, all! On deck, every man of you!" Brander was amid ships. "Rout out the dogs, Mr. Brander," be added. "Fetch them aft!" CHAPTER Hi, The men came; they tumbled up from the fo'c's'le; they sUd down from the mast-head. Har poon ere, mates, under officers, grouped themselves by the cap tain; the crew faced him In a hud dled group. He cursed them, man by man, for thieving dogs. "Now," be set at last. "New some one o' you has got the stuff hid away. Out with It, or m cut the heart out of you I" He paused, looking about him with flickering, reddened eyes. No man stirred, but Dau'l Tobey ask ed: "What wrong, Cap'n Wing?" NoU told him, told them alL profanely. Somewhero there was hidden a store ef whisky; he meant to have it. If the thief gave ft up, so much the better. He would get off with a rope's end ing. If he persisted in silence, he would die, NoU vowed that, by all the oaths he knew. The men stirred: they looked at their neighbors, and then their eyes fastened on the captain with a curions intentness. They licked tneir lips, and Faith thought they were enjoying the spectacle of NoU 'a weak rage. She thought they were like a pack of dogs with hungry eyes, watching the futile anger of a dying man. She was afraid of them for aa instant; then she was afraid of no man In the world. She stood by NoU Wlpg's side, proud and level-eyed. When NoU got no answer, his crackling fury waxed. He swore every man of them should bo tied up and flogged unless the guilty spoke. They scowled at that, and one of them said sullenly: "It's no man forrard a doinsr this, sir. Look aft. sir look at them that had the chance. The words seemed to foe us the sullen hate among the men; they gfowled Ike beasts and surged a step toward the captain. Brander from the captain's side, moved toward them, and lashed at him who had spoken with a swift fist, so that the man feU aad lay still as a log. Brander looked down at the etui man, faced the others. "Be silent," he said quietly, j "unless you've a word to say to the captain about what ho wants. AAd get back back into the waist aad sUy there!" They sve back before him. "They miad you weU Mr. Bran, dec," Dan'l Tobey said softly from behind Branders back. Too have a rare control of them. The words were innocent enengh, hut the tone was accusa tion. Brander faced the mate, and Dan'l grinned malignantly. 'Noll passed abruptly from his threats Co pleadings; her tried to cloak his Heading under a mask of fellowship; he spoke to the men as to friends, beseeching them to yield what ho wanted. They remained sUeat; and his mask feU off, and he abased him self before them with hi words, so that old Tiehel aad Willis Cox were sickened and Dan'l was pleased. Brander made aa sin: ho stood loyally at the captain's side, and Faith was on NoU's other hand. ' 6ho was studying- the faces of the men and of the officers, seek ing tor a shadow of guilt. The me wer sullen, but there waa Bp shame in their ayes. There THE ROMANCE OF AN EVENTFUL WHALING CRUISE was nothing furtive save in the countenance of Mauger. The one eyed man had ever a furtive look. the twitching of his elosed eye Ir resistibly suggested a malignant wink. Faith watched him; she saw his eyes were fixed on Brander. In spite of herself, a cold pang CH doubt touched her. Manger haol reason to bate Noll Wing. Had he She put the thought away, to study Dan'l Tobey. But Dan'l. though he waa obviously content with matters, had no trace of guilt or fear in his demeanor. He was perfectly assured, almost tri umphant. Faith thought he could not appear so if he were the thief. Not Dan'l; not Willis Cot, nor Ti ehel. Not Brander; she would not have It so! Yet she coald not keep her Wyes away from Manger's leering. chuckling, furtive countenance. Abruptly she touched Noll's arm. The captain was near n col lapse. He was pleading helpless ly, so that some of the men were beginning to grin. NoU, do not beg." she said euletly. -Ton are master here." Ha caught himself together with a terrific effort. He turned and stumbled away, down into the cabin. Faith went after him. Dan'l came down a Uttlo later. "Why not put Into port some where, sir?" he suggested. "Get what you want " NoU clutched at that desper ately. "Aye, Mr. Tobey. What's near est?" Dan'l named the nearest Island where they were likely to find a trading post NoU nodded. "Put for It, Dan'L AU saU on. For God's sake, quickly, man!" Ten minutes later the Sally heeled to a new tack. Noll, with Faith, below In the cabin, bit at his nails, and tried to hold him self and'strife the appetite that was tearing him. His passion aad pleading had burned out the ef fects of the drink he had taken, his body agonised for more. By nightfaU. Noll was shaking with an ague. And toward dawa a brewing gal caught tho Sally.
