PARIS, JAN. 10.-Jules Vedrines
and Henri Roux, noted French ayia-
tors. are supposed to be the actors in
the next real duel with real swords.
No: handkerchiefs will NOT be the
weapons. Blood must be spilled.
Both men made wonderful flights
from Paris TO Cairo, Egypt ana
Vedrines claimed that RouX told
keepers at supply stations not TO sell
him oil. gasoline or food. He oncoun-
tered Roux in Cairo and allowed one
of his fists TO Intentionally encounter
the face of NJ. Roux. Whereupon
Rene Quinton, president of the
French Aerial League. ordered the
sky pilots TO settle their grievances
in a duel under penalty of losing
their licenses. Vodrines, at first re-
fusing. has now agreed to fight RouX
when he returns to that dear Paree
where the Bois du Boulogne affords
many hidden corners suitable for
holding death parties.

WATCH OUT FOR PERE MAR
OUETTE.

That Pere Marquette proposition is
a very simple one
An appeal has been made TO the
farmers TO allow an increase in the
freight and passenger rates, so the
road can be improved.
No consent was asked Of the farm
ers when the road management was
carrying on its high financing projects
that left the road with an enormous
burden of debt without correspond
ing increase in the value of the prop
erty.
II a farmer were 10 mortgage q
$4,000 farrf FOR 100000. and at the
same time let the land run 20 weeds.
could he go TO the public and ask an
increase i'm price or his product. so
ne could pay the interest on the extra
$4,000 and have enough left for him
self?
That is exactly what the Pere Mar
quette is asking Michigan 10 dO-nOt
only for one year. but for all time.
The Pere Marquette paid and was
kept in good condition so long as the
debt OF the road was kept down close

\ WHOLEsONE INFLUENCE,

The wholesome influence Of the in
terstate commerce commission on rail-
road operation is noted in the attitude
Of eastern companies toward the leaks
in freight revenue which are the
principal cause of the current appeal
for permission to increase rates.
Taking their cue from the commits
sion's ultimatum that the railroads
must utilize all their sourses of rev
enue before their requests for freight
rate increases will be granted these
companies are voluntarily stopping
the leaks. The most important Of
these are the concessions granted to
plant railroads, the industrial freight
handling systems that operate between
factories and the railroads.
The commission has discovered that
these concessions constitute an unjust
discrimination against the smaller
shippers who do not own plant rail-
roads and seriously cut into the earn
ings of the transportation lines. If
an increase Of freight rates were
granted it would be tantamount to
making the public contribute to indi-
vidual plant railroad owners.
The eastern carriers have become
convinced that they cannot get an
increase until they have a legitimate
reason on which TO base their claim,
and it is announced that they will inn
mediately proceed TO place themselves
in a favorable light before the COM
mission.
Then if it seems just and proper
10 do so the commission will grant
them an increase, but not before. The
practice of giving rebates and making
concessions to shippers must be aban-
dOned

THE DRUCSTORE TRAGEDY.

The hope that the community would
be spared q fatal termination OF the
drugstore tragedy OF three weeks ago
has been dispelled by the death of
Emmanuel A. Fink who was shot
down while defending his place Of
business against a holdup man. The
crime or attempted robbery was in
itself sufficiently lamentabie but that
it should have resulted in murder is
deplorable.
Not the least OF the considerations
is the making Of a murderer of a
youth OF eighteen. who had no pre-
vious criminal record and whose life
had not been less exemplary than
those OF many other boys who are not
regarded as a menace to society. Floyd
Fifer had the unusual experience of
beginning a dishonest career with the
taking of human life. That there was
murder in his heart when he entered
his victims drugstore is doubtful, but
that ne weakly yielded 10 the pressure
OF circumstances is painfully apparent.
The fact that Fifer was placed by a
which he felt he could not extricate
himself without taking the life of a
fellow being does not excuse him for
any part he played in the circum-
stances leading up 10 the tragedy nor
for the commission of the fatal act
itself. but il is pitiful that his own life
should be blighted and the life of a
FELLOW being forfeited because Fifer
fell under bad instead of good iniu-
ences.
Fifer is a victim Of bad associations.
Had he never met Smith it is probable
he never would have entered upon a
criminal career. He comes of a rep
utable family, his tendencies were
good rather than evil. as evidenced
by his attendance at the revival meet
ings. His fate is a fTightful warning
TO other boys who have chosen or are
choosing their associates and TO pa
rents who are permitting their sons
10 grow up without proper moral
coaching.
That such a tragedy should occur
in South Bend and that human life
should be held so cheaply in a civ
iIized and usually orderly community
is appalling. and furnishes ample rea-
son for additional efforts TO elevate
the standard Of citizenship.
