OWNERSHIP OF
 AIR QUESTIONED

KANSAS CITY, July 29.-Whethcr property owner is also owner of the air above his land is to be deteririncd thru court action brot by Frederick lloenemann farmer. He seeks to restrain a company owning airplaros from using the air above his farm.
 Ioonemann contends that sight of the machines and the noise of their engines disturb his livestock.
 There is said to hr no direct pre- cedent to guid" th" court .:nd the case is causing wide discussion in legal circles
 Legal experts of England have dis cussed the matter from the standpoint of national ownership of the air. il is said
 Some lawyers contend that freedom of the seas and freedom of the air are the same. white others assert that the courts have held that ownership carries with it light and air above the property as well as the earth beneath
 It is pointed out that when the steam engine came there were many law suits, the plaintiffs contending that the noise as well as the danger icopardized their stock The Massa- chusctts supreme court, however, rendered the opinion that the loco motive was lawful and in keeping with progress. Attorneys say similar condition arose when moor cars came into use, but the highest court of Indiana ruled in favor on the grounds that the law must keep pace with progress.

PROHIBITION SENSE AND NONSENSE

It is one thing to enact legislation which will prevent anybody from enriching himself by persuading somebody else to become a drunken sot It is quite another thing to surround grape juice and flavoring extrat ts with awful penalties and precautions, to lay every mans home open to visit and search, to hire thousands of spies to keep watch on the public, and to deny, as the house drys have attempted to do, the right of jury trial to men charged with violating court orders ur- der the wartime prohibition act. Perhaps the last clause best illustrates the spiritual in toxication which has been induced in the more fanatical of the prohibitionsts by the com pleteness of their victory. If it stands, a judge "may summarily try and punish de- fendant rearrested under the war act. The only possible argument for such a proceeding is that public sentiment is so strongly agains the rigid enforcement of prohibition that a jury would not convict. If such is the case prohibition, amendment or no amendment, is already lost cause.
 The truth probably is that the majority of Americans are convinced that the liquor traffic has been bad thing. Not quite so many think the sale of beer and light wine a bad thing and it is probable that if the advo- cates of these drinks had been wise enoug to separate their cause from that of the heavy liquors they might have saved them. But now that the prohibition amendment has been passed they want to see it enforced just as rigidly as it can be without interfering with the legitimate right of citzens If they are compelled to choose between having the law made dead letter and having it enforced by the outrageous measures proposed by few of the prohibition fanatics they will take the former alternative. For the sake of tenn perance and for the sake of the law itself the friends of prohibition ought to halt this ex- travagant campaign before it is too late. If the sale of liquor is stopped as we'll as its manufacture for use other than as medicine or in the sacrament, the evil of drinking will pass away. It is not worth while to fill the country with spies and oppress it with des- potic judges in order to prevent a few drink addicts behind locked doors from swallowing a last melancholy drop or two.

It is much to their honor that the wo- men who released men for active service by undertaking the clerical work of yeomen in the United States navy yards did so well that there is now likelihood that yeowomen will become permanently part of the navy es- tablishment The idea has the support of the secretary of the navy, but is meeting with some opposition in the house committee of naval affairs. But there is practical side of the matter that helps the yeowomen, and has been stated by Captain Richard H. Leigh, acting chief of the bureau of navigation. ''These women," says Captain Leigh, "have rendered splendid service. They came in at a time during the war when men could not be obtained. Today they are not keeping men out of work, and we could not get enough men to replace them in year." Expediency, therefore, seems likely to keep the yeowomen in service at least year longer; and the ma tion as a whole will probably not be sorry if they continue indefinitely.

 DOWN AND OUT

ATLANTIC CITY, N.

They have been informed, it is stated, of the revulsion of feeling in various parts of the country against prohibition, and it is in this information that they place their belief, together with their hope that they may be able to once more place the country back on its former anti-prohibition basis.

 Just how this latest condition of peace will be received by the Aus trian people is not known. It is thot, however, that they will decide to abolish the monarchy as ordered and that they will eventually proceed to select president by some means un- known at present.

HI JOHNSON'S SPEAKING TOUR.

According to the reports, Hiram Johnson had perfectly lovely time on his speaking tour against the League of Nations Every where he went he succeeded i'll getting large nation. He did this partly with his personali audience and to moving 1t to tears and indig- ty. It is the same personality which stood him i'll such good stead when he made his famous automobile campaign against the Southern Pacific machine in California, and which won so many votes for the progressive party in 1912. Johnson has great capacity for indignation and for invective Not so expert phrase maker as Colonel Roosevelt, he is adept in seizing upon the strong language that the common man likes. He plays upon his audiences as upon aS harmonca, and he never addresses gathering of common peo- pie anywhere without carrying it with him. He would not be SO successful, perhaps, before the National Geographic Society or the Bar Association, but that is nothing against him. In his current campaign Johnson has been making an appeal almost ridiculously illogical, yet based upon entirely legitimate and even praiseworthy popular prepossessions. He has insisted, for example, that the league might compel us to send our boys to take part in wars in which we had no interest. Of course the audience applauds his denunciation of such project He has declared that the Pa cific coast will never submit if the league says Japanese labnrers shall be admitted. The au dience howls approval. He has said that he takes his stand with oldfashioned American ism, with Washington, with Linooln and with Theodore Roosevelt. So does the audience He has denounced foreign tyranny and exalt- ed democracy, and the audience naturally likes that, too. The impression seems to have been made that these arguments and demonstra- tions had something to do with the plan for the league of nations as embodied in the covenant now being discussed in the senate. But that is delusion. Senator Johnson has really been campaigning in favor of set of platitudes and emotions which all good Amer jeans accept and share. He has made some thousands of new friends, but he hasn't con tributed anything to the question before the house.
