The Mooncy case Is now tlio pivot on which
similar methods of political thought nre
swinging, but ho President whom San
Francisco elected has tho mmo Judicial
view of the mutter that Mr. Hughes would
have hod.
Tho Mooncy case was nexer huaid of hi
tho Hast until tho liolshtM'tk! mined tho
Issuo against Mr, Wilson, It was el
dcntly through Mr. WJIson that tlio pris
oner, who was convicted of taking pait In
n bomb njWssiiiatlon. gained u thoioilgli
reconsideration of the evidence against
him, Tho .Stuto Hupiemo Couit hat af
firmed the death sentence and now tho
Governor Is nsked to grant a panlon.
Theio Is only one point to be made clear.
Deep ns thlt international Incident may bo
In Us effects on Itusslan sentiment towaid
us. Justice must bo done In tho way that
the Governor of California sees tho Justlco
of this case. Tho fabric of our law It
not to be unraveled at the whim of lawless
persons abioad.

After the windows of two Jewehy stoics In
the liouit uf the ilty wetc liiokcu mid Ihn
Jewels there weio ttolcn the poller lies.ill to
talk about u crime wao nnd stalled a
loiiudup of petty rilmlu.ils. IJacli man Is
entitled to hit own opinion about why they
did It, but theio are no two opinions among
the InfoiiiKd about the ptcxalcmc of dime

Tlicic Is nothing in tho police ictoidt to
Indicate that there ale luoie piufcsuu.il
criminals here than usual. It Is possible
for the police at any time to tend out u
dragnet and gather in scutes of petty
ciiinlunls mid thus make u girat nhow of
activity. Hut the police never engage In
this kind of activity save when they want
lo throw dust hi the oca of the people.
The rercnt laid of the gambling places
was n typical farce. The police found only
one pi. lee In opeintlon because the man
agers of all the others had infixed pilv.ilc
Infoi mallou that the stage pl.ix was to be
made. We .tic oucllhly lufoiincd Hint the
iii.iti who did not close his place tem
poral lly did not believe th.it the police
would engage in such a foolish fane.
Tlnilcl people may go lo bed o' nights as
usual without any gle.iter danger than
usual that they will bo stinnglcd befoio

cilmlii.ilt aie no better known to the police

UNSHACKLE THE UNIVEKSITIKS

nell i-.ise us the text for a discussion of
the defects in Anmih-iin univcislllts. In tho
course of which t sa.vs some things that
needed to bo said. '
The NiiIIoii takes tho same position as
that occupied by tills newspaper so far as
tho action of the trustees of the University
of Pcinislvanl.i. on the Pennell degree Is
concerned. That notion was mistaken and
cowaidly. If tho Nation hud icfrulned fiom
cltlus; tlio Neailng case as cumulative
cvldcnco of Mundeilng, Its ctlticlsms would
have curled greater force. The conduct
of Ncaring since he left tho University
piovcs that that Institution Is well lid of
hint. Our New York contemporary uiges
the giadual changing of tho poisonnel of
the board of trustees of the University and
fuller control of Its affairs by tho teaching
faculty. It says furthci:
Hut the real Issuo goes far deeper. It
Is a question of the spirit this that our
universities face today. Do they or do
they not dare front the world, tho lUxi, '
and tho dexll and defy thcni nt need:
That Is tlin question Unit trustees, facul

There Is no doubt that this Is the gieat
Issue that confi tints the men in control of

not nffoid lo rest under the Imputation that

I bcllcxc Shoemaker to bo ono of the
finest men In our board, nnd I nm siiro
that he would make nn upright olid capa

self, no man wielded the Influence that
Shoemaker did In our election.
I speak of thlt matter In this frank
