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. Charging
the battery reverses this proi-ess,
that Is, It forces the ncld oul of the
plates and Into tin liquid .'U',;iiu. so
that when the balteiy Is fully bar

Rlrengtli. If Iho car owner puts arid
Into tho battery, be makes the sola

leal action between the chvtrnlhi
and the plates heroines too violent.
mid finally causes tin1 oxide and even
the frainew ork of the plates them

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.
