'I 10 YOUR BATTERIES Among niolor car owners, the Idea that tho stornge baltcry can lie brought back lo a fully-charged con dition by filling It Willi add has made considerably headway, In spile of the emphatic statement of linllery men that Ibis is the worst postMc thing that can bo done Tor the bat tery, "The only thing tli.it I he car own er should ever put Into his battery," says O. V. Trainer. Hie local VYflnrd representative, "Is pure waler." The reason for this Is easy lo unilersland. Tho electronic In the battery Is an acid solution. As the baiieiy dis charges, tile arid is ausnrltcil by the plaies. When the baltcry Is com pletely discharged, the licinid Inside Is practical)' pure water.

' THE MOONEY CASE Till; Tom Miioiicy Defense (NmiiiiiHce til' Han Fran cisco is J'JimkHii 1 lie country with a pamphlet en 'itlcd, "Justice Raped in California," in which the claim; is set forth that Mooney was convicted of murder upon perjured testimony hy a "frame-up," as a result of his fidivity as a strike organizer and leader. Mooney was convicted upon circumstantial evidence as having heen one of the guilty parties who placed the bomb, or caused the bomb to be placed, which killed ten persons during the progress of a preparedness parade in i lie business district of San Francisco.. The anarchistic utterances and conduct of Mooney and his associates, to gether with strong circumstantial evidence, caused his arrest, along with those of his alleged accomplices. The entire fabric, of this pamphlet, which js an appeal to class haired and strife, is built upon the alleged per jury of Frank (!. Oxriian, an Oregon cattleman, who claimed that he witnessed the outrage. Since the pamph let was written, Oxinan has been given a fair trial and acquitted of the perjury. Xo evidence of his guilt was submitted to substantiate the charges so well advertised, altho able counsel was employed and there was no limit to the expenditures in Mooney's behalf. Whether justice was "raped" in the Mooney trial or not, we do not know. There has for years been bitter strife between organized labor and employers at San Fran cisco, and one side has acted just as unfairly, just as arbi trarily and employed just as many thugs and gunmen as the other. Labor leaders have run roughshod over the industries of San Francisco and greatly crippled her in dustrial development. Employers, on the other hand, have not hesitated to retaliate by similar means of warfare. But we do know that some "pacifist" wantonly killed ten inno cent people and injured a score or so more. The Mooney appcul is an effort, quite'succcssful, evi dently, to capitalize in behalf of the accused perpetrators, the sympathy and support of organized and unorganized labor. Jt is an effort to make out that Mooney is a martyr to the cause of labor, and that he is persecuted, not so much because of the crime that he is alleged to have com mitted, but because of his activity as a strike leader and agitator. If Mooney did not actually perpetrate the 'crnne, he r.ided in its instigation, as his utterances prove.' His cause has been championed by anarchists from San Francisco to New York and he has become a national hero to the anarchists raising chaos in Russia. Tho surest way to prove Mooney's alleged innocence is to produce the guilty parties, for the bomb didn't grow in the streets of San Francisco, but was placed there by someone who believed and talked as'Mooncy and his feU low-anarchists preached. So far no effort to discover these alleged unknown parties has been made by the an archists, the labor leaders, class war agitators and others who have rallied to Mooney's defense. They have bushels of tears and sobs for Mooney's prospect ive fate but none for the innocent bomb victims. 'If the perpetrators of such an outrage can escape just punishment justice will indeed be "raped" in California.
