Editorial Correspondence
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27. The Mooney hearing adjourned
for Thanksgiving with Attorney Walsh 'g cheery observation
that he felt there wag much to be thankful for. The feeling
of good cheer and optimism that pervades the Mooney-Billings
ranks reminds lis somewhat of the spirit in evidence on the part
of the California rooters before the Big Game. 'We trust there
will not be a similar rude awakening when the decision of the
state supreme court is finally handed down. Certainly not only
the petitioners themselves, but everyone in the court room seems
to feel the same way about it it's all over but the shouting! ....
9 9 9
The state is represented by Assistant Attorney General Wil
liam C'leary, who may be as interested in keeping Mooney in
prison for the rest of his natural life, as the Mooney defense
cohorts are in getting him out, hut if so his general actions and
behavior are misleading.
Mr. Cleary must weigh around 300, a large head connected
with a large body, by three or four double chins. Throughout
the several sessions we have attended he has shown a far greater
interest in drinking water, than in the proceedings. He not
only takes a drink of aqua pura every time he comes in the
court room and every time he goes out, but innumerable times
in between. His drinking tcclinifiie might be termed gargan
tuan. He handles one of those little white paper cups as the
average man might handle grandmother's silver-plated thimble.
The cup is thrown against the mouth and thrown awav in one
swift movement of the right arm,
no evidence of a swallow intervening. Tom .Mooney is a tough
thick set hombre, built somewhat along the lines of that one
time heavyweight champion Tom Sharkey, but one feels if
Cleary should ever fall on him, there would be very little left
for identification except perhaps Tom's wonderful mop of grey
hair, of which he is so proud.
That thick mop of hair is pomaded in the best Hollywood
style and Tom's pudgy fist often strokes it tenderly as he exam
ines his notes and papers during the progress of the hearing.
Tom pays the closest attention to everything that goes on and
frequently consults with Walsh, whereas Hillings pays very
little attention to the evidence and no one pays much attention
to him. Mooney is the star, Billings plays the role of a spear
bearer in the chorus.
Whatever doubt we have
case being a scandalous miscarriage of justice has been removed
by what we have heard during this hearing. Our system of
justice is based upon the assumption a man is to be regarded
nnocent until his guilt has been
doubt. On this basis Mooney' is
babe, his guilt has never been
doubt, in fact eliminate the perjured testimony and there isn't
enough evidence to hold him to a coroner's jury. Until incrimi
nating evidence has been secured not only should Mooney be
released, but. those responsible for railroading him to prison.
should be punished.
Grand Opera is going on up
house in the;ivic center, and every night San Francisco's beauty
and chivalry gather there, to look at the stage where some of
the world's foremost artists perform, and incidentally and per
haps more important, LOOK AT EACH OTHER, 'Ve intro
duced the youngest member of the family to her first grand
opera last night, one of our favorites La Boheine, with Helen
Jepson as Mimi and Martinclli as Rudolph, very good we
thought, but, the critics we find were not so enthusiastic. A
little knowledge of course is a dangerous thing, on the olher
hand too much knowledge, frequently takes the joy out of life!
Not having seen a grand opera in 15 or 1!0 years and knowing
little about the matter anyway, your country correspondent was
thrilled and particularly delighted with a prima donna like
Miss Jepson with not only a beautiful lyric soprano, true, clear
and swc,et, but good to look it. But the expert on the Examiner
opines that Miss .lepson, apparently had not. essayed the role
very often before and was neither familiar with nor up to the
part. However if the Examiner's music department is as con
sistently wrong as its editorial department, Miss Jepson should
not be too downhearted.
The Prince and Trincess of the Asturias have been follow ing
us around ever since we arrived in San Francisco a week ago.
We thought we had missed them at the opera but learned in the
morning paper they had been there in a box all the tir..e, just
as they were at the Mark Hopkins when we walked through the
foyer and bought a package of cigarettes! His name is Don
Juan, son of the ex-King of Spain, and he and his princess are
on their honeymoon, having a swell time, according to the
newspapers, like other newly wed. And believe it or not. we
have just, returned from a stroll along the water front where
w speculated about all the flags and hunting and air of
expectancy around one of the piers only to find the Prince
and Princess are to sail today for the Orient, they hadn't
arrived yet however and we had a luncheon engagement so
oonldn t wait. Better luck next, time Don! (Incidentally what
a name to live up to at such a time as this!)

Department. Washington. D. C., has
some such pamphlet for free distribu

averages about one-third as many
calories to the pound.

McLester, In his book "Nutrition

quotes Eddy and Bckmau; comparing
peanut protein with meat protein as
a supplement for the protein of
wheat; "The peanut flour proved
llRThtly superior to the meat as a
growth producer and markedly su
perior for promoting reproduction."

that peanut are difficult to digest.

NEXT stop Dunsmuir this time at
the registration station. Getting
to be ao much red tape In these days
that a fellow hardly haa time to get
where he's going.
Dig out registration certificate, driv
ing license, etc., and wonder if this
time they'll insist on seeing birth cer
tificates, marriage license'and receipts
showing that grocery bill and rent
are paid. You never can be Just sure
any more how far they'll go when
public officials start delving into
your papers.
But this fellow turns out to be a
good egg want nothing but regis
tration certificate and driver'! li
cense. He finds a temporary sticker
on the windshield, left over from the
last trip past there, and orders it
scratched off possibly on the theory
that California doesn't want to give
you too much tor your money and
calls it a dfty so far as this car la con
cerned. JUST ahead, at the registration sta
tion, are two cars with Wash
ington licenses, traveling together
one skippered by an elderly gentle
man and the other by a lady some
what past middle age. Both cars are
of the type slanglly described as
"heaps." They're plied high with bag
gage. The lady pilot atands at the coun
ter in the station, her registration
certificate and driver's license clutch
ed in her fingers. Asked a to her des
Ination, she responds: "Long Beach."
Pride drips from her voice as she
speaks the magic name, and it's ob
vious that she's headed for sunny
Southern California for the first time
and la realising a life'a ambition in
getting there.
The attendant senses her tie of
mind and grins a friendly grin as he
hands her the little slip of paper that
give her permission to enter the
Golden State and remain there for
three months. "Have a grand time
while you're down there. Aunty," he
say
"I'm going to." she answers with
conviction.

It's the American system, with all

The growth of employment and
payrolls In the heavy gocds Indus
tries lately Is a significant step, be
cause that la where th. bulk ot
unemployment Ilea.
Miss Perkins' buseau of labor sta
tistics haa flguaea Indicating that
employment In durable gooda aver
aged about 75 per cent this October
and about 83 a year ago; payrolls
about 66 thla October, compared
with 46 last year.
The non-durables show 96.4 per
cent employment this October, as
compared with 95 last October. Their
payrolls were 86.2 this October, as
compared witn 79.6 laat year.
Tne purchasing po"er improve
ment of the last year has therefore
been mainly durable. There la
plenty of room left for Improvement
In that line.
Some economists have a reason
able new theory that the railroads
will come ' back also when the dur
ablea recover fully. The basla of
thla theory Is that the durable
gooda are not carried by truck, bus
and airplane. Only the rallroada
haul the bulk of ateet, Iron, lumber,
etc.
The theory seems to be beginning
to work out slightly. At least the
recent improvement In carloadlngs
Is attributable partly to Increased
production and partly to the In
creased movement of agricultural
gooda.
The railroads lost money until
September. Their nine-month loss
wa. double that of a year ago.
nut in September they made a
profit, which Is going to be In
creased In October.
An Interesting thing about the
stock market rise Is that It has
been accomplished without any cor
responding Increaae In general
prices. The most recent private com
putation indicates that stock mar
ket prices are up about 38 per cent
since last Msrch. Th. Index ot
wholessle price. 1. almost the same
aa last March: they are up exactly
nine-tenths of one point.
The .only change in Industrial
prlcea lately has been toward firm
ing. If Inflation has anything to do
with general pricea. there would
seem to be little of It In the exist
ing situation: at least little has
been sdded sine. Msrch.

Making the Selection
Ohviouslv, it is difficult to mak
desirable selection from any stock
of merchandise that in not complete.
This i particularly true in selectine
a casket, due to the very nature of
the task.
We are. therefore, very proud of the
fact that we do maintain a complete
and modem display room, and a
comprehensive display of caskets
and funeral merchandise.
