Flying important

1t is a healthy sign to see such
cities as Memphis taking an inter
est in aviation. We can not hope to
get very far with it unless they do.
Unlike other forms of transporta-
ton, flying can not be turned over
to private enterprise. 1t is too init
mately bound up with the national
defense and employs too common a
medium.
There can never be private owner
ship Of the air, and aircraft repre-
sent the most effective form Of mill
tary power yet discovered.
For these reasons, capital hesitates
to venture as it would under differ
ent circumstances and the task of
developing aviation is left for the
public. While the Federal Govern
mert must shoulder the greater bur
den, cities can do much to help, and
the more they help in a general
way, the more they will do to help
themselves.
The day is not far off when an
airport will be of as much advantage
as a railroad terminal.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-03-04

and respectable portions of the community in a
crisis might get results.
The Governor ought to desire the respect OF
those elements of society. He ought to prefer the
society Of such men as the fifteen who protested IN
vigorous terms against the passage of this law to
the company of the ward politicians who have been
working for the law.
Here is the time and the place to put up to
him very definite choice as to where he stands.
But perhaps the men who have declared that
the city should be ridden of boss rule that Indian
apolis should be Free do not really mean it.
If they do they will camp in the Governors office
and deliver their message in unmstakable language.

THE DETECTIVES

The impeachment of Judge Dearth by the
Ause Of Representatives will open the way
fo settlement of two real questions which
should be definitely determined
The first is whether any judge may set
aside the Bill of Rights by any act which is an
assumption of unwarranted power.
The trial before the Senate is one of the
detectives which must be attained.
The people have right to know the facts
in this case, the whole truth, in order that
there may be restored confidence in courts and
respect for courts.
The truth or falsity Of the charges made
by the citizens of Muncie must be established
before some tribunal.
The other purpose to be served is whether
the Legislature has the power to remove
judge who misuses his powers Of office
The attorney general has ruled in advance
that the Legislature has no power to impeach
Judge no matter what acts of tyranny he may
have committed.
He has said that the law passed by the
Legislature thirty years ago and not definitely
passed upon is worthless.
He has taken the position that the only
way Indiana can rid itself Of an arrogant or
tyrannical judge is after he has been convicted
of corruption or some high crime
He has not as yet indicated where such
a Judge could be convicted or in what court
he could be tried.
He has not as yet indicated what steps
would be necessary to bring a judge to trial
if he continued to be tyrannical and oppressive
and refused to take action against himself.
Other lawyers say that such an opinion
and view of the law is to make mockery Of
the Constitution and to leave the people power
less and helpless forced to endure and wait
until the expiration of his term.
These lawyers are quite as firm in their be-
lief that the Legislature has the power to i'm
peach as the House has impeached.
1t is unfortunate that these views come
from these sources. 1t would be much better
had the attorney general reached the con-
clusion that the power Of impeachment exists
in the Legislature and leave the validity of the
law to such lawyers as might wish to protect
judge by resort to technical objections to
the law.
But the situation is as it is. The question
must be settled.
And when it is over, the people will know,
definitely and finally, whether the Bill of
Rights is inviolate and whether they have,
through their Legislature, weapon against
judicial tyranny.

LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS AT THE PALACE

Satirical burlesque comedy with all
the trimmings that good comedian
can add to it is the feature Of the
Palace offering for the last half Of
this week.
Ray Shannon is the man with the
high tension comedy line that brings
out the chuckles and laughs. AS the
property man in a vaudeville theater
he is a scream. We won't vouch for
the accuracy of his impressions but
he does get the fun out of the situa-
tons and lines he creates.
With Shannon are four women
who do several speciality numbers as
parts of the act. The dancing and
singing as done by these women are
Of a pleasing nature, but the big
thing is Shannon's comedy; he has
plenty of it.
Kesslar and Morgan are a we'll
balanced man and woman team who
offer comedy and dancing with sew
eral songs and violin solo by the
woman
This couple are probably at their
best when dancing. although the
woman knows how to sing song
and play the violin in an entertain
ing way.
Miss Primrose Seman is a
coincidence with flaming auburn
hair and personality just as in
f1ammable. She puts a lot Of per
sonality into her songs and in
PRODUCES us to the masculing member
Of the act, who appears late in the
act. To Miss Seman goes the credit
for the work done in this number.

ly dangerous. One disadvantageous
situation apt to result from the bid
Nof a Jack.high suit turns up when
the contract is obtained on the left
OF the bid and partner with King
and one Of the Jack.suit opens that
suit. Such opening may be extreme
ly expensive. On the other hand, with
such a holding as:
Sp: Jack-10-x-x-x Ht: Ace-King-x
Di: Ace-Jack-x CT: Xxx the hand is
distinctly too strong to pass; It might
readily be the passing out Of a game
hand. 1t is not an attractive No
Trump distribution and is more apt
to be a Spade game and not a Nkn
Trump game, than to be No Trun
game and not Spade game. There
fore, with any such combination, a
Jackie five card suit should be bid.
With greater side strength, for ex.
ample Sp: J-10-X-x-x Ht: Ace-King
Jack Di: Ace-Queen.10 CT: Xxx, the
same one Spade bid would be in
order; and 1t also would be with
greater length, for example Sp: J-10-
xxx Ht: Ace.King-X Di: Ace.x
CT: XXX.
In connection with the above il
should be appreciated that no Bridge
statement is made unequivocally
('always" and never" being words
which are not contained in a Bridge
vocabulary; and that there readily
may be hands which, by reason of
their freakish length in the suit and
unusual side strength, should be bid
with less than Jackie at the top of
the suit. But these hands turn up
so very rarely-perhaps once in a de-
cade-that to give them specific at
tention would be merely to confuse
unnecessarily.
Tomorrow the following hands
will be discussed:
l. Sp: Ace-x-x lit: Ace-x-x-x
Di: Queen-x-x CT: Xxx
2. Sp: Ace-King-x HIT: K1ng-Jack-x
Di: xxx CT: Xxx
8. Sp: Ace-x-x Ht: King-Queen-x
Di: xxx CT: xxx.

For Public Control

Like aviation, Muscle Shoals Is
too intimately bound up with the
national defense for private capital
to operate in the most effective way.
Whether used to produce electricity
or fertilizer, it is essentially a pub
lie enterprise.
Congress is gradually leaning to-
ward this view. A subcommittee
having the matter in charge has not
only turned down two bids, but has
suggested that the idea Of Govern
ment operation be given serious con-
sideration if acceptable bids cannot
be obtained.

Ford Started Il

Henry Ford is responsible for all
the demand to lease or sell Muscle
Shoals. His personality intrigued
the popular mind. The uproar
started with the notion Of getting
such man as he to run the works.
The talk Of private operation as a
matter Of principle is just a hang
over.
Human enterprise, whether public
or private, never becomes so great
that the element of personality can
be eliminated.
Nations have been saved by faith

Vbroken for no better reason than lack
of man in which to have faith.

Logic Backs Memphis as
Site for Aviation
Center.
By nj. f.. Tracy

MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 4.-The
Chamber of Commerce and Aero
Club have united in campaign to
make Memphis a greater aviation
center. The idea appeals to local
pride, of course; better than that, it
has logic to back 1t up. Memphis
is located right to become a focal
point for several crisscross anyways.
She is in line with New Orleans and
Chicago, with New York and the
Southwest, with Atlanta and Kansas
City.

Personal Touch

No government, much less a
private business, has yet grown so
strong that it can afford to discount
the value of personal leadership. In
spite of all our theorizing, we are
still disposed to measure affairs by
what we think of the man in charge.
Our thoughts of what will happen in
Italy are largely based on our opinion
of Mussolini, and our Judgment as
to what will happen in Mexico is
mainly formed on our estimate of
Gales.

DeeS III Single colony!
The presence of different kinds Of
bees in colony is explained by two
theories. Dzierzon maintains that
fortified queens lay fortified or un-
fortified eggs at will. the former in
queen cells and worker cells, the
latter in drone cells. Dickel con-
tends, on the contrary, that by a
variation in the food the workers
can produce at will, queens, drones,
or workers out of the larvae.
Whether the offspring are to be male
or female is said to depend upon the
contact or absence of contact of the
egg with the impregEating fluid re-
ceived from the male and stored in a
special sac communicating with the
oviduct. unfertilized eggs producing
the males. biologists make no ex-

eggs into males. This is merely the

duction.

Bad Luck to Stumble
BY H. IRVING KING

THE idea that 1t is bad luck to
stumble when setting out upon any
new enterprise is very old super
stition easily explained by psychology.
1t. Is one of which there are a great
fiimher-which arises from natural
symbolism. Stumbling is the natural
symbol of poorly directed action and
the word is so employed in popular
speech as: He stumbled into a hor-

trouble; or He stumbled into a good

only by accident. And falling is the
natural symbol of falure-as witness
the popular slang, HE fell down on
his job"
