AIR ROUTE PROPOSED

In regard to the proposed Chi
cago to Seattle air route which is
to be established, Sank Centre re-
Gently received a communication
relating to the possibilities of es-
tabhshing an air port, if the north
ern route is chosen which will
take in Minneapolis, st. Cloud,
Sank Centre, Alexandria and
Glendive, Mont. The purposed
southern route is over the Yellow
stone trail to Seattle. 1t is inn
portant that agitation for an air
port in this city be started as it
will influence to some extent the
selection of the northern route,
thus giving Sank Centre air mail
service.

Lac, and Justice
By Dexter M. Keezer

In suit for damages on account of breaking a
99year lease the trial judge gave the jury incorrect
mathematical instructions about how to compute the
damages If they should find that damages should be
assessed The jurors did not follow the judges in
structions in this regard but figured the damages
according to a correct formula and rendered their
verdict accordingly.
The party against whom the damages were as
sessed appealed the caSe the ground that the
dict was improper because not in accord with the trial
judges instruction. In opposition it was commended
that the verdict should stand because the jurors had
corrected the judges mistake and properly computed
the damages which they thought due.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Appellate division of the
New York Supreme Court held that the verdict could
not stand, although the jurors did not follow the
judges erroneous Instructions but based the verdict
on the correct rule for competing damages The rea-
SON given that Jurors must follow the law of
the court laid down. If that rule proves to
be incorrect.

Saving of Lives

President Coolidge gives his at
tention to the idea of regulating
trans-oceanic flights. One can
hardly blame him, considering the
hue and cry that has been raised,
yet it seems a futile bit of sensation
alism.
If common sense cannot be de-
pended on to correct such a Sit
uation, what is the use Of law?
During the last five months, a
score of Americans have lost their
lives trying to fly over seas. 1t is
not the number that appalls us,
but the percentage.
During the same five months, two
or three thousand were murdered IN
this country while an equal number
were killed by automobiles.
During the same five months also,
200 or 800 were drowned in the
Mississippi flood, not to mention the
half million that were made home
less, while our marines accounted
for about as many in Nicaragua.
If it is the saving Of life that
President Coolidge and his associates
have in mind there are problems
outside the field Of aviation TO
which they could well give their at
tention.

The State of Michigan now has an habtual GRIM
nal law similar to the Baumes law of New York. AS
result the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
neighbors of Michigan are giving new thought to the
subject Of crime.
Other States might well do the same.
These nearby neighbors fear they are about to
receive an influx of criminals from Michigan, but,
II there is any ground for fear at ALL it should not
be confined to the three States named 1t was re-
ported Immediately after the Baumes law became
effective in New York that while there was a
vertable parade of criminals across the river into
New Jersey great numbers of them did not stop there
but proceeded on to Chicago. If an exodus now re-
suits from Michigan. many of the criminals may be
expected to travel farther than Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois.
Most students of crime are agreed that 1t is too
early to estimate accurately the full effect of the
Baumes law in New York 1t has been in effect only
year. But to date law-abiding citizens We seemed
to like it very well; criminals. not at a

Commissioner George H. Mclaughlin, when the new
statute had been in effect only six months.
That was pretty strong statement but there
seems to have been reason for the commissioners

that the first three months under the new law had
reduction of "A per cent in major crimes com

the mandatory life term that has thrown the greatest

useful for those interested in the cubng of crime to

I. Grand Old Game

When it comes to aviation, we are
suffering more from an exploded
dream than from anything else.
We thought transatlantic flying
had been made safe when Lindbergh
reached Paris and we are terribly
blue to learn that 1t had not.
If the first fifteen or twenty
trans oceanic flights had been sue
cessful, we would now be yelling for
some brave lad to try for the moon
in skyrocket.
Instead of that, however, We weep
for law.
The big idea Is 70 beat the game
with statutes and ordinances.
Whether it is banana peel on
the sidewalk. German in the public
schools, or 4 per cent beer, we think
we can make men wise and moral
through legislation.

Where Money Goes

Many of those carrying heavy life
insurance are to be found in the
ranks of professional entertainers
movie magnates, theater managers,
actors, dancers and baseball play
ers.
This reminds us of how stupen-
dously the earning power of such
callines has increased.
Gene Tunney will get cool mil
lion for defending his title as
heavyweight champion of the world
while Jack Dempsey will get nearly
half as much for trying to take 1t
away from him.
What would the great John L.
think of that, or even Jess Willard,
who fell before Dempsey?
