A Blow at Stunt Flying.

By President Hardings direction Secretary
Weeks has cancelled the commission Of the re-
serve corps officer who endangered many lives
by flying at a low altitude over the crowd that
gathered in Washington May 80 to participate
in the dedication of the Lincoln memorial. This
is the first instance Of it's kind since stunt
. year ago. Its drastic nature ought to be
warning to all aviators who are tempted to
play the Snowman whenever they have an au-
dience.
OF course common sense should have pre-
vented the officer in question from flying so
close to the crowd at the memorial exercises
that the noise Of his engine drowned out part
Of the presidents speech He had been warned
not to 60 near the spot at all. But he disre-
gardsd the rules Of prudence and flouted au-
tkority because he felt that, being in the re-
serve corps. he was not subject to direct con-
troll Of the war department. He forgot, how.
ever. that he held his commission during the
pleasure Of the president, who had the power
to revoke It ON such charges as misconduct and
ineompetsncy.
The action Of Secretary Weeks indicates
that the army Undetermined to stamp out SEN
sationalism by its aviators and to see that its
flying is done ON safe and sensible lines. 1t
is to be regretted that the army rules cannot
be extended to cover civil aviation, which
claims too many victims because Of the desire
to thrill the public. Perhaps this case to which
President Harding and Secretary Weeks have
given prominence may induce congress to has
ten the passage Of legislation now before it
for federal control Of the air.

The Right to Strike.

We have heard a great deal in recent years
about the right to strike. The people of this
country wish 10 know II the Herrin massacre
is the logical conclusion. Union miners, en-
ragged at the presence Of strike-breakers, have
but in overwhelming numbers, have shown
less mercy to their wounded victims than
might have been conceded to = dying dog. The
whole shock1ng story, ~ reoounted in Asso-
ciated Press dispatches. is enough to make
law-abiding citizens blush for their country.
When General Leonard Wood went to Gary at
the time of the steal strike he called the lead
ers Of both sides before him and told them that
he intended to do two thinystprotect the strik-
era IN their right TO strike and protect the
non-union men who wanted to work in their
