The Situation.

The result Of the campaign of 1920
was amazing to both sides for its size.
The republicans had expected to win,
and privately the democrats had con.
ceded victory. but neither side was
prepared for a complete sweep Of the
deck.
It did not, however, take long for
the more experienced Of the republic
an leaders to realize the danger in
herring in such victory. Upon even a
brief examination of the returns. they
could see that the situation could not
be preserved; that the winning COM
bination could not be held together,
but would go to pieces of its own
weight and composition.
The question. then. arose as to the
dissolution-as to so managing mat
ters that complete collapse would be
prevented when dissolution began.
Dissolution has begun. Many demo
Gratis who voted the republican ticket
two years ago as a protest against
wisconsin are now resuming their
old Affiliations, and next November
will vote for the return Of their party
to power on Capitol Hill.
Then there are republicans dissatis-
fed with the management Of affairs
Their party's program in Congress is
not at all to their liking. and they are
manifesting impatience by both. speech
and vote In House and Senate.
All things considered, there is war.
rant for the wonder existing about
what's what and who's who, and how
matters will shape themselves in the

EDITORIAL DIGEST

a Daugherty issue in acute form un-,
til the fitness or unfitness of Mr..
Daugherty to be Attorney General of
the United States is definitely estab- |
lished by a committee of Congress"
And SO far as the motive behind the
attacks are concerned. the Utica
Press Independently believes that "is
a minor matter. There is a very gen.
eral suspicion, amounting to con-
viction. so far as the public Is con-
cerned, that there was a vast amount
of crookedness connected with the
Morse case. and that several persons
besides the principal were thereby
besmirched."
There seems no reason, the Muske- |
gon Chronicle Independently believes. |
why the Attorney General should not
clear up all of the facts, because
whether right or wrong the Attor-
ney General has drifted into posi-
and to the President, who must
shoulder the responsibility. for him
to vindicate himself" And even
though politics is running thick in
the charges" the Waterbury Repub-
lican (republican) is convinced that
cause the ends of justice were de-
feated in the Morse case is no reason
why political fighters should be per-
mitted to use the scandal Of that al
fair to protect others who are in line
! for the attention of the courts ana
penitentiaries." In addition the Cleve-
land News (republican) feels that the
best reply the Attorney General can
make to the calumny in thesSenate is
vigorous action in the courts to get
back the 1QO,0o0.00O Of war graft
and put the grafters where they be-
long. The nation will Judge Daugh-
erty by what he does as Attorney
General" -
After all. it is not the action Of Mr.:
Daugherty which is important, the
entc @ believes, but is the denial
of his connection with the Morse.
case which calls for explanation.
and this makes it imperative. the
vinced, that "it is up to Daugherty
to speak and clear his skirts If he
can." His selection for his present
post. the Baltimore Sun (democratic)
suggests. was a "blunder that may may

qualification for the office was his

Air Traffic Rules Needed.

Yesterday, IN the course OF the cere-
monies at the Lincoln Memorial. a
commercial airplane engaged in the
transportation of passengers few over
the assemtSage r. was flying so low
that the drora Of the machine serious
" interfered with the speaking. max
ing 1t impossih'e for a time for the
people to hear the words OF the Presi-
dent. Moreover. such a flight is dan.
gerous. Had the machine gone wrong
while flying over the great assem-.
blage and fallen 1t would probably
have caused the death Of many
people.
Army and Navy planes are under
strict regulation in respect to their
flights. and may be prevented from
interfering with ceremonies or endan.
gering the lives of the people need
lessly. But commercial planes, It
would appear. are not amenable to
such discipline. and may take the air
at any time and go anywhere. The
Interference with yesterdays cere-
monies at the memorial points to the
need Of a regulation governing all
planes of private as well as Official
character.
Airplaning Is increasing. and will
rapidly develop further. In a few
years planes will be common In vari-
Gus uses. It is most important. there
fore, to provide code Of rules based
on statutory law for their government
and to establish responsibility. This
flight over the Lincoln Memorial yes.
terday may be the particular occasion
to bring about prompt study Of this
matter leading to the enactment of
necessary laws.

In the race between the hare and the

material The tortoise had handicap
of one-eighth of the distance. SO It IL
clear that he had run AIS times as fast
as the hare up to the time Of their
meeting. when the hare had gone but
one-sixth Of his distance. AS the hare
has fve-sixths Of his distance yet to
rur we multiply AIS by to learn that
he must go 2l.25 times as fast as he
went the FIRST sixth in order to tie the
tortoise at the finish. But tho question
was. how much faster must he 90,
and as 2o25 faster is equivalent to z1.se
as fast. we will say that the answer -
IN, rho hare must go 2o.75 plus faster
- win I, being clear that 2o.26 would
o,,v tie the race, he must 90 4 little
bit faster 10 win.
