The Mooney
'I'itE unitTory Mooney case
other eivihzed eountry in the world, certainly not in
England, where tre fundamental purpose of law courts, is to
get at the truth, not bow low toVed tape, and precedent.
Once more the Supreme Court refuses to review the Mooney
case. The state Supreme Court of California, some time ago,
took similar action.
In both instances the decisions were not based upon any
judgment regarding Mooney's guilt or innocence, but solely
upon technical questions regarding proper jurisdiction.
REGARDLESS of whether Mooney is innocent or guilty the
treatment he has received is a disgrace.
For no one who knows the FIRST thing about the case
denies that he was never given a fair trial, and because of
admitted perjury and innumerable legal irregularities, his guilt
was NEVER proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
In England certainly some way would have been found to
have given the man a new trial, a fair trial, and established
once and for all, his guilt or innocence, before a couple of
decades bad passed by.
But not in this country. We hold no brief for Tom Mooney,
don't deny be was a bad egg, and a trouble maker, but what
he ia or isn't is not the point.
The POINT is, the corner stone of American jurisprudence,
is that ALL MEN ARE EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW, and
every man ia innocent unless his guilt is proved beyond a
reasonable doubt.
The record ahows Tom Mooney has never been granted that
equality and his guilt haa never been proved. Meanwhile he
baa been spending the best part of his life at San Quentin, and
because of the facts of his case, has become a rallying point
for the long-haired radicals and pinks who maintain, there is
no justice for the podr man in these United States, and the
Mooney case proves it.
HOW LONG will it be, and how FAR must we go before
the people of this country, will snap out of their lethargy,
and demand's through-going reform of our trial laws and our
courts 1
Lewis and Perkins
JOHN L. LEWIS isn't as bad as he's painted, few men in
publio life are. Neither is Madam Perkins, Secretary of
Labor, who aa far as this column has been able to determine,
hasn't a friend outside the White House, either in her own
party, or the opposition.
History will no doubt record the former was one of the
greatest champions of the forgotten worker particularly the
soft coal miner, organized labor
speaker, a skillful executive, a hard fighter, a natural leader.
And the latter, we should surmise, will fake her place, as
a capable and public-spirited social worker, who lacked the
qualities which are necessary to success in practical politics,
but was unselfishly devoted to what she regarded as the wel
fare of her country, and the betterment of the common man,
But where publio affairs are concerned, the important thing,
ia not what a person really IS, but what the people, believe
him, or her, to be.
In other words, one doesn't face a theory, but a condition,
and from the standpoint of publio policy, the wise and bene
ficial thing, may not be, strictly speaking, the entirely fair and
just thing.
SO THIS oolumn enthusiastically seconds William Green a
motion that the President of C.I.O. resign, and Bernarr
Macfadden's motion that Madam Secretary Perkins, follow his

Sprague and Holman
WE SHOULD say good horse sense, and a refreshing absence
of table-thumping buncombe, marked the appearance of
Messrs. Sprague and Holman here Monday, afternoon and
evening.
The Republican candidates for Governor and Senator,
wasted no time in partisan tom-tom pounding, or casting
aspersions upon tbeir opponents; but in a direct, earnest and
convincing manner, outlined the political situation, as they view
it, and what they believe ahould be done about it,
Aa a paper that haa believed in the general purposes of the
Roosevelt New Deal, and still believes in thein, the Mail
Tribune wss glad to note this intelligent, non-partisan ami
progressive viewpoint of the Republican candidates.
THE Mail Tribune haa never been a partisan newspaper and
under ita present management, never will be one. This
,vear, aa in the past, we shall support those candidates, local,
state and national, we believe best qualified for their respective
jobs regardless of what political label they may bear.
And on this basis, and this basis alone, we shall support
Charles Sprague over Henry Hess for Governor, and Ruftis
Holman over Willis Mahoney as U. S. Senator.
We feel certain, the people in Southern Oregon who will
compare the characters, abilities and records of the Republican
and Democratio candidates on the same common sense and
unn-pniitical basis, will come to the same conclusion.

Rv GEORGE TUCKER
NEW YORK Much has been re
cently and wisely written on the
Interchange of actors between the
two great English speaking drama
centers. London
and New York.
I do not pur
pose to add to
this debate.
Nevertheless, If
one weren't con
sclou s of the
true conditions
as they exlet to
day a pertinent
reminder would
be to look at the
records of Amer
ican plays and
actors on Plcca-
fefcOfioE lucoe dllly during the
last year as against the plays and
people of British origin which have
sought public favor on this side.
When a New York producer desires
a Britleh star for his play he simply
Ulres him, knowing that the only
restrictions Imposed will be the usual
one of Immigration. This means, If
he can clear Ellis Island he will be
eligible for a Broadway appearance.
tt Is not so easy aa this on the
other side. Your British producer has
the very dickens of a time clearing
away official red tape when the pres
ence of an American actor Is deemed
advisable over there. The governing
body on Piccadilly very rarely sanc
tions employment for a foreign actor
unless the producers are able to prove
that this particular actor la essential
to the welfare of the play. If a Brit
lull ector can be found who can
substitute for the American, the plea
Is denied and the American must
look elsewhere for work.
Of course Equity has the real say
In New York aa to who shall work
and for how long they shall be em
ployed, but Equity In most Instances
is charitable and lenient, and if an
actor la In Rood standing, and Is
desired by a producer in good stand
ing. Uttle difficulty Is experienced
gaining the official sanction.
Naturally I hope that all good plays
and All deserving actors get the
chance some day to play before their
English speaking cousins. But In the
same breath I hope no retAllatory
measures re ever considered tf the
English Just won't meet us half way
For the Broadway drama would
certainly lose If the English blood
were drained away, we think a lot
of Noel Coward over here, who has
marie fortunes both here and In Eng

know that every penny he has ever

And we think a lot of Sir Cedrle

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Eating Grapes
Z like to eat grapes and swallow
the seeds in the whole pulps. Friends
say this Is likely to cause appendi
citis. (H. E. O.)
AnswerOn the contrary It tends
to prevent appendicitis. Notion that
seeds loaged in appendix may be the
cause .of Inflammation Is based on
misinterpretation. A seed or similar
foreign body cannot get Into a nor
mal appendix, hut may enter after
the appendix haa undergone change
from Inflammation.
Rhubarb
Please give your opinion on the
effects of eating rhubarb. I have
eaten a good deal of It without ap
parent HI effect, but many will not
eat It because of the oxalic acid In
It, (A. E. M.)
Answer Chemical analyses indi
cate that various everyday foods con
tain relatively more oxalic than rhu
barb does. Theory that painful ef
fects may occur from eating these
foods Is highly questionable. Con
ception of "oxaluria," in my opinion,
Is a bad guess.
The Medicine Cupboard
Just a line to tell you that we are
delighted with "The Medicine Cup
board." From the large number of
recipes and practical hints It con
tains we feel sure It will prove in
valuable In our home. Once more,
God bless "Ol Doc Brady." counsel

any of a score of other affable and
able Englishmen who have meant so

I think I am as American aa the

the American theater to prosper,
both here and abroad. But to alien

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
CHARLES A. SPRAGUE, Republican
candidate for governor, has
been campaigning over the week-end
In Southern Oregon. He has epoken
In public repeatedly, and each time
what he haa said has been notable
for Ita calmness, its fairness and Its
wholesome sanity.
These qualities are characteristic
of him.
FOR years, Charlie Sprague has
been publishing a newspaper At
Salem. He has written most of its
editorials, and his writings set forth
clearly the kind of man he la.
He Isn't an advanced liberal, and
he Isn't a hard-boiled conservative
He isn't against the new, Just be
cause It la new, and he isn't Impa
tient with the old, Just because tt
Is old. He haa an open mind, and he
does his own thinking.
He never goes off at half-cock.
What he says Is carefully considered
and Intelligently worked out. Before
he makes up his mind, he la familiar
with both aides.
' Those tvho have followed his writ
ings have alwaya been Impressed by
the fairness end the soundness of
his conclusions.
BEFORE Sprague was a newspaper
publisher he was a banker, in
a small way. Before he was a banker,
he was a teacher. He has a good un
derstanding of people, and as a
business man he has been a suc
cess. He knows what It Is to have to
meet a payroll every week. He knows
the Importance of spending a little
less than Is taken In. He knows that
nobody can spend himself rich. All
these are valuable things for the
governor of a state such as Oregon
to know.
Throughout the newspaper indus
try, he l known as a fsir employer.
He "gete along" with those who work
for him.
THIS writer has known Charlie
Sprague for ten years. He "hss
known him aa a sound thinker, an
able business man and a de
pendable friend. Those ara good
things to know about a man. They
glva you confidence In him.
This writer Is able to ssy with
conviction that If Charlie Sprague Is
elected In Kovember Oregon will
have as good a governor as It has
ever had and that Is saying qulle a
lot, for the list of Oregon's gover
nors Includes some outstanding men.

Henry Agard Wallace and Rei Tug
well offered an Ingenious new solu
tion to the farm problem tha AAA
Under the AAA, tha government paid
tha farmers not to plant more than
a limited acreage of the unwanted
crops. In the case of cotton, by the
Bankhead act, tt threatened the far
mere with tax penaltlea If they did
overplant. And It collected the mon
ey to reward them for being good
by levylnn processing taxes.
The processing taxes were ultimate
ly collected from the consumer. Wal
lace believed that the AAA would at
once limit production, subsidize the
uneconomic farmers, and put the
automatic check of consumer protest
on any greedy demand for extraaub
aldes. Then the supreme court threw
out the AAA. specifically Invalidat
ing the processing taxes, and caus
ing the abandonment c." the com
pulsory control of the Benkhead ac
and other supplementary laws. The
next effort, the soil conservation pro
gram, was therefore both taxless and
voluntary. Under It. money taken
from tha general fund of the treas
ury waa paid to farmers for limiting
production, In tha guise of a re
ward for land Improvement.
As early aa two years ago. It be
came clear, however, that production
control by simple bribery was not
solng to work. To get production
down low enough, the government
would have had to pay tha farmers
more than the treasury could stand.
During the laat years, droughts havf.
been the real production controllers.
By a year and a half ago, the supreme
court's dectslons were at a discount.
Wallace began working for a new
farm law. After a long struggle. It
was parsed. Unluckily, It was paasM
too late to be applied to this lat
wheat-growing season.
The Present Crltls.
Leaving out the economic theory
and legal verbiage, the new law lets
the government do four things. It
may enforce compulsory production
control with the consent of a mere
majority of the farmers. It may pay
obedient farmers a reward for con
serving their soil by not planting In
It. It may give them an additional
"parity benefit." which Is really a
plain hand-out. And If farm prices
fall. It may lend the farmera money
against their crops, at level osten
sibly determined by complex form
ulas, but practically by world prices.
In their entirety, the suthorlratlons
only apply to the two big problem
crops, cotton and wheat, and three
minor ones. corn, rice and tobacco.
The rest of the farm problem Is
handled piecemeal.
Unhappily, the cotton farmera went
on a spree last year, producing the
world record crop of 19,000,000 bales.
Last-minuto compulsory control kept
this year's crop to 11.800.000 bales,
but. with the carry-over from last
year, the tatal supply Is 3S.000.000
bales, or twice what can be used.
Aa for wheat, after the drought
yeara. the stHI uncontrolled wheat
farmers went on their spree this
summer, producing a 940.000.000
bushel crop. With last year's carry
over, ghere will be about 400.000.000
bushels of unwanted wheat, whicl:
