Who Has the Right?

Mr. Samuel insult, not Benito Mussolini, makes
the observation. He makes it in nicely gotten up
pamphlets now being mailed far and wide over the
country.
1t is not by accident thsh Mr.. insult propounds
philosophy of life at this time, and spends money
to make sure people know about it.
1t is this time Mr.. insult who will be cited for
contempt of the United States Senate when that
body convenes few weeks hence because he refuses
to tell to whom he gave $4,000 for in the Illinois
senatorial campaign last year.
1t is the same Mr.. insult, millionaire owner of
Chicago and Indiana public utility companies, who
admits paying $125,OOo during the campaign to the
at the head of the States Public Service Com
mission which is supposed to regulate bis companies.

of the Senate but of most of the rest of the world

"After all, who has better right than men like

Jackson that he come out into the open and

Early Sea Heroes

Old Glory seems to have gone
down in that region of the North
Atlantic where ocean currents,
winds and different atmospheric
pressures combine to form an area
of disturbance and uncertainty.
Seamen have known and dreaded
the place for four centuries.
Thousands have lost their lives
there, and, like the three airplanes
that have recently disappeared,
many ship has entered the re-
gion never to be heard from.
1t is not known what percentage
of the early ,yoyagers reached the
western shore of the Atlantic, but
such incomplete records as we have
reveal an appalling loss of life
If the old boys had given up be-
cause OF four, forty or even 400 fatal
disasters, America would never have
been settled.

appreciate beauty even when it is

many, many and many exhibitions

by people that I do not know per-

Also will tell you that I like the

met as I recall the name Elmer

composition in oil' of a woman
with a red shawl that we had ex-

Lac, and Justice
BY Dexter M. Keezer

Two adjoining buildings had common hall and
stairway half of which located in each building.
A local ordinance required that the hall and stair
way be kept clean and lighted The owner of one Of
the buildings after trying unsuccessfuy to interest
the owner of the other in joint agreement ostake
proper care of the hall, went ahead and did it him
self. >
Then he sued the owner of the other building for
one-ha of the expense involved, the ground that
he had incurred this expense to make the owner of
the other building comply with the law. The owner
of the other building argued that compliance with the
ordinance was question to be settled between him
and the local government and that his next door
neghbor could not hold him for money expended in
assuming his obligation to comply with the ordinance
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?N
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of North
Dakota rejected the claim for half the expense of
keeping the hall clean and lighted The court said
that there could be no recovery Of money expended
for doing the statutory duty of another person.

SAYS:
! There rs No More Reason
to TIP Porters- Than
There Is to TIP the Con-
ductorS, Brokemen or

Pullman car porters have
petitioned the I. c. c. to increase
their wages 100 per cent and abolish
tipping.
This is a move that ought to in
terest the travelling public.
At present, the pay Of a porter is
too small for him to live decently
without tips.
The result is that ne works with
his hand out, and that the passenger
who can pad it most generously gets
the best service.
The porter himself is forced to
play the part of dependent. not to
say a heggar, while the traveller
who cannot afford to be liberal, but
who has paid the regular price for
his ticket and accommodations is
out Of luck.
There is no more reason to tip
porters than there is to tip the con-
ductors, brakemen or engineers.

THE TEACHING OF METEROL-
0THX


Meteorology, the science of the
.tmosphere, has never occupied the
lace it deserves in the curricula Of
american universities and colleges.
COURSES in the subject are offered
n many institutions, but as a rule
hey cover only the descriptive side
If the science or treat it as mere
branch of physical geography. A
mastery Of meteorology requires Of
The student a thorough grounding
in physics and mathematics. Courses
in astronomy with mathematics
are given in young ladies
seminaries, but they do not qualify
the pupils to become astronomers.
Most of the instruction in meteorol-
ogy given in our universities Is just
about as poorly adapted to the
training Of professional meteorol-
ogists.
The growing Importance Of
meteorology as an adjunct Of aero
nautics has accumulated the need
of more thorough instruction in this
subject in American educational in
stitutions. The Daniel Guggenheim
committee on Aeronautical Meterol-
ogy, recently organized in Washing
ton, with representative from the
Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the
Promotion of Aeronautics and
various Government offices con-
cerned with aeronautical meterol-
ogy, has undertaken a survey Of
the present status OF meteorological
instruction in the United States. A
QUESTIONABLE seeking information
on the subject has just been issued
to the leading universities and TECH
meal schools. A

Progress Cruei Master

1t is perfectly proper for the
public to adopt an attitude which
would discourage daredevil stunts.
Trans-oceanic flying presents risk
enough after every possible pre-
caution has been taken.
The idea of flying land planes
over the sea, of discarding all safe
ty devices in order to carry more
fuel and of being in such haste to
make a record as prevents taking
sensible advantage of scientific
knowledge is childish.
At the same time, we should not
assume that trans-oceanic flying
ought to be stopped because twenty
five people have lost their lives.
Progress, especially in the field OF
speed and power, has been and al
ways will be a cruel master.
People who vince at its demands
can never hope to lead the way.

IL I11C 6IO4OOA
The people are the sovereign
power. They are the government,
hence the truth is mighty and will
prevail. Now, therefore, that Mr..
McCray has served his allotted time
in the Federal penitentiary, and is
now paroled, his duty, as I see 1t,
is to tell the truth in all matters
pertaining to the various features
in which he is personally, as well
as all the people, interested. If he
does this it will bring to light the
true cause of his own ignorance
that persuaded himself to become
his own worst enemy, which unin-
tentionally he did, for the sole pur-
pose of self protection, and others
who were equally as guilty as he,
which will fully appear when the
truth is fully known and realized
by those of no greater ruling infiu-
ence or power over him than he
had over them; hence his duty to
himself places him in the forefront
in such way as will, by natures
gift to man, return to him the posi-
ton justly due him, which is now
being held by the most guilty of
them all, whose duty it is to resign
as requested by several OF the daily
publications Of the state, and al
low natures work to passify, satisfy
and humanize the present discord,
inharmony and trouble now affecting
the minds of the masses of the peo-
pie of one of the greatest States
of them all, and by so doing give
the ignorant, abused individual the
opportunity of completing his I'M
expired term Of Office as granted to
him by the people, and in harmony
with the natural law of the world,
as can be done under our present
regime of education, finance and
business. This I recommend to the
so-called authorities of the grand
old State of Indiana.

Expected loo Much

The thought has prevailed, or more
accurately the delusion, that we
could take flying machine and do
what the 100000 ocean liner can
not.
without Col. Lindberghs knowl-
edge or consent, his achievement
was accepted as proving the feas-
ibility Of independent flights to Eu-
rope.
We had dreams of John Smith or
Bill Jones mounting his air flivver
in New York and landing in Lon
don the next day. ~
Now we are all upset by the fact
that about two out of every three
who try it drop. out of sight.
The airplane, like most modern
contrivances, means more organiza-
ton, more capital, more discipline
and more sea guards.
No one with sense can visualize
successful transoceanic flying as a
matter of individual effort.
In the second place, the airplane
must be equipped with multiple mo-
tors and provided with every pos
sible safeguard.
In the second place slips or floats
must be established in the sea not
more than 500 or 400 miles apart.
In the third place, there must be
sufficient number of patrol boats
to reach fallen plane in the space
of a few hours.
1t would be improbable to pro-
vide such equipment except in con-
nection with large fleet of air.
planes.
In other words it is absurd to
think of transoceanic flying as
practical without an investment of
$50,00o,O00 or $100,Oo0,0O0 and with
out a schedule which calls for
flights every hour or so.

BergdoIPs Play as Hero

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, best
known American draft dodger, is
reported to have applied to Levine
for transportation to this country.
Why he should prefer passage in
an airplane with all its risk, is but
another mystery of his mystifying
career.
Perhaps the risk intrigues him.
Perhaps, he hopes to end it all in
such "a moment of supreme sacrifice
that would obliterate the bitter
reputation he has acquired.

Police Honor Legion

The risk of being a New York
policeman is wildly illustrated by
the fact that forty eight patrolmen
have given blood for the relief of
their fellow officers during the last
fifteen months.
They are known as volunteer
members of the departments blood
TRANSMISSION unit" and they form
real legion of honor.
The man who gives his blood to
save a comrade or friend has done
something worth while.

Too Much Emotion

We are suffering from an over
dose of emotionalism.
The wild cheers that went up for
Lindbergh have turned to sobs.
1t is Newton's law Of action and
reaction operating in the field of
psychology.
Our unreasoned enthusiasm of
four months ago has changed to
urreasoned depression.

What other Editors Think

But the Governor is not likely to do this either.
One would not expect chief executive of the State of
Indiana to ignore for several weeks serious charge
of attempted bribery. But this is what Jackson did.
On the contrary, the natural thing for guiltless
to do would be to seek vndication If not through
