For All Men Kill the Thing They Love

What, down in our hearts, do we expect of
Charles Lindbergh?
DO we expect him to remain the simple, unaffected
bashful boy who has been up to this moment every
thing our ideal of hero should be? Do we expect
him never odo or say what we might regard as the
wrong thing?
If this is state of mind we should be making
haste TO correct it. In fairness to the boy we must
do So He isn't creation of fiction, but flesh and
blood young man. And young men make mistakes.
Charlie Lindbergh doubtless will make his. One per-
alone in the world, perhaps is completely quail
fled to overlook those mistakes, and that person is
a middleaged school teacher in Detroit-his mother
We can't all be his mother We do at the moment
all claim him as part our own; we secretly claim a
spiritual kinshp and this because our spirits went
with him his lonely flight This affinity does not
prepare us, however, for the unwavering worship
that mother can give He is not bone of our bone
nor blood of our blood
For thirty-three and one-half hours he met every
test of our ideal Of courage. Until he has met
every test of our ideal of modesty.
Let US be content, nay, everastingly grateful for
that and ask More of spiritual uplift from
this rare young soul we surely shall receive but let
not put ourselves in the way of expecting it, For
10 expect Is soon 10 demand. Wnen demanding, We
do not receive, we will tear down the idol of our own
building.
The tribute Of the world to Lindbergh has been
a glorious thing. 1t reflects back glory the mil
lions who have let their emotions run free.
Let us keep in mind the why of our emotion,
and that Is the hazard he took and the triumph he
achieved over it. The boy of acclaim is the boy
of those hours over the Atlantic. Had he alghted
from his plane less sweet tempered and modest than
he has shown himself, we still would have those
hours to cherish. We keep them as long we
live.
Let us ask no more of him, lest through asking,
we lose what he has already given.
Some of us recall the disaster we visited on an
other American hero. Little than quarter of
a century ago Admiral Dewey came home from Man.

return.
For our own souls sake let us not repeat the
curse we bestowed George Dewey.

" Says:
Rises to Advocate Death
Rather Than Drink, No
Matter What the Doctor
Orders.
By NJ. E. Tracy

Action of the Governor and at
torney general Of Indiana in break
ing the liquor law Of that State to
get whisky for sick relatives has
raised new storm over prohibition.
DIR. John Roach straton rises to
advocate death rather than drink,
no matter what the doctor orders.
Two eminent divines challenge
this view on the ground that it
strains common sense.
Senator Borah is inclined to favor
the repeal, or amendment of laws
limiting whisky as a medicine.

A New Menace to World Peace
Onoo more Europe is talking of war.

Once Europe is talking of war.
Maxim Litvinoff, acting foreign minister at Mas
COW in The absence abroad of M. Tchitcherin, com.
mensing the break between Great Britain and
Russia, said
"lt is but the logical final outcome Of the British
conservative governments anti-soviet policy. The
rupture can not otherwise be regarded than as an
energetic preparation for war. Our country
will draw the necessary conclusions and take all
measures not to be taken by surprise"
Even in England there are those who fear events
are leading Europe in dangerous direction. Not
only British aborites and some liberals see the DOS
sbility Of great European conflict lurking in the
present situation, but even the conservative party
OF Premier Baldwin is not without it's members who
take similar view

Moscow which would logically follow France and
Italy, at least have been actively Investigating com
munist activities within their own confines for some
time And there together with the other PRINCIPAL
foreign powers must have had foreknowledge of the
recent raid on the Russian embassy compound in
Pekn and given their consent.
Thus it would appear, Brtain's severance of
relations with Russia may not be just an isolated or
unconnected incident. Other nations may see fit to
follow suit wherein in the opinion of many lies
the real menace to the peace of Europe Russia like
Gagged BEAR might elect to try to fight her way out
While every thinking person in Europe recog-
nizes that world peace be even reasonably
assured without including Russia, there are two
definite and distinct schools of thought on how she
can be brought in.
One maintains worldwide recognition and eoual-
atty OF treatment will eventually turn the trick The
other insists that she has changed little in the fen
years the communists have been in control and fur
thermore recognition by Britain France Germany

major countries of the world except the United
States has had little no effect upon her conduct
At the moment it would appear that this second
group has the floor. Apparently its adherents are be-

ferior, that one law can be violated.
But this is no reason that the infer
Tor law should be abrogated. Each
law has its function and is based on
reason.
Preservation of life-the gift OF
Gods paramount to all other lows,

cases of an emergency. The ener.

Neither the civil law. nor the mar.

Law is a rule of conduct prescrib-
ed by the paramount authority hav'

Looking Over
Palace Show

Although Pat DAILY, at the Palace
the last half, shows an extreme fond
ness for wrestling we have an idea
that he was thinking of that form
Of entertainment known as Indoor
athletics" He makes the idea work
for z. lot Of fun.
DAILY gives the greatest impress
sion in the act, both as to size and
comedy merit. He has a personality
that is not brilliant, but has
comedy sense with it that is good
for a healthy laugh as often as
needed.
With Daily in the act are five
women and another man who has
q song or two. The women are best
in the different dancing numbers put
on.
The Lucille Sisters are two girls
who have an excellent impersonation
of the Duncan Sisters. The harmony
offered by these girls is every bit as
good as that of the two famous
sisters, although thee comedy is not
quite so poppy, probably for the
reason that the vaudeville stage is
different proposition than the
legitimate. The two girls are clever
and have several good ideas in the
act. The opening Of this number
needs working on.
Chester Horton expounds the
ancient and honorable pastime of
the Scotch golf. Has a lot of tricks
and some fancy shots to offer. The
comedy in this act is inferior to
the rest of itl
The opening act, Nelson and Barry
Boys, with two men, enc in black
face and a woman is another good
comedy number. Saxton and Farrell
offer a little sketch with a rather
worn theme, but still good for
few minutes amusement.
Included on the bill is a photoplay,

Bad Government

The cost of bad government is heaviest upon
those who least able to bear it.
That this city has been afflicted with bad city
government for years will he admitted by most
citizens.
It requires but little effort of memory to recall
the bitter charges made in primaries and elections
in the past concerning each city administration.
1t is true that the present administration seems
to have acquired the largest number of critics in it's
brief tenure and have piled up the largest number
of protests.
1t has put, the people into frame of mind
where they can easily believe that nothing could be
worse.
Bad government frghtens away new enterprises.
Bad government Shandicaps every industry, every
business and commercial enterprise
1t reflects itself in higher rents for homes, lower
wages in factories, poor public service.
Finally the who works for living pays
for the most of its burdens. He finds his pay en-
vclope smaller and his bills higher. He is the
man who is most interested in freeing this city
from the shackes of machine government.
The city will vote June II on the question
of abolishing system which has produced little but
evil.
The cities which have the nonpartsan city
manager government, which proves to be efficient
are growing Wages in those cities are higher Tho
cost of living is reduced.
The real taxpayers, and that means the work
ers have the largest interest in adopting this
system of government The workers know what
lad government is costing them.
