Circle Parking

Just why the city council picked on the
Circle as the one spot in which to stop park
ing is probably understood-by the council
men.
Congestion in the downtown district pre-,
sents problem, and always will until munich
pal garages or parking fields furnish solu-
ton.
Our modern city was not planned with any
idea of the thousands of automobiles and the
difficulties as well as the benefits which they
present
It does seem discriminatory to select one
part Of the downtown district from which the
machine is to be banned and permit parking
on all other thoroughfares
Traffic problems are always difficult The
present system slows up the pedestrian and
the auto. There is protest and discomfort where
there is no protest.
Perhaps the taking of few autos away
from the Circle will solve the whole problem

Must Enforce Order

AS DIR. Butler says, there may be
millions who believe with him that
the time has come not only to re-
nounce war. but to lay the instru-
mentalities of war on the shelf for
the sake of promoting international
peace.
But there are more millions who
agree with Hoover, who want peace,
who are willing to work for peace,
Who gladly approve any practical
measure that promises to promote
peace, but who are not eady to
jeopardize the interests of their
country by making such grand
stand play as would convict them
Of having little acquaintance with
the realities of life.
In striving to attain the ideal of
disarmament. we face conditions as
we'll as theories. What we would like
to do is still very different thing
from what it is safe to do.
DR.. Butler proves nothing so dis
tinctly by referring to Holland,
Switzerland, Belgium and Denmark
as that the world at large is not
prepared to accept sheer intellec-
tuality as a guarantee of law and
order.
We have not arrived at state yet
when we can associate justice from
force even in the police court, much
less in International affairs. A reign
of law presumes power to enforce it,
whether as applied to he village of
Of thousand souls, or to the world.

Where Is Kiplinger?


Once more D. @. Stephenson is in the courts
persistent and persisting, hoping perhaps that
some turn of the legal wheel will give him
freedom.
The people may have little or no interest
in what happens to this famous prisoner whose
Black Boxes contained so many secrets and
whose activities and manipulations brought to
power many who disgraced the State and still
hope to pillage it.
But it must be rather annoying to the
politicians who once profted by his power and
favor to be reminded so often Of their debts
and their sins.
The latest move to gain freedom is i'm
portant for one reason. It serves to remind
the people that the list of his attorneys no
longer contains the name Of one Kiplinger,
very prominent year ago when grand juries
were hunting for the Black Boxes and for
evidence.
Eight months ago grand jury whose in
dictments were many and varied and whose
work brought universal commentator, made
a very specific recommendation concerning
this particular attorney for Stephenson.
1t asked that contempt proceedings be
brought at once against him. The reason was
stated, as serious as it was clear.
That jury charged that Kiplinger had been
very busy getting witnesses away from the
grand jury and that as matter of fact he did
not represent the interests of Stephenson, who
then wanted to tell, but did represent some
very important gentlemen who were quite
anxious that nothing be discovered or dis
closed.
1t was Kiplinger who was in conference
with the man who held custody of the Black
Boxes just before this citizen disappeared for
few weeks from the State.
1t was Kiplinger who conferred with the
confidential stenographer of stephenson just
before she went under an assumed name at
a very expensive hotel in Cincinnati, hardly
in keeping with stenographer's salary, when
the grand jury wished to consult her con-
corning the Stephenson regime.
The people of this community had conf
dence in that grand jury 1t merited that
confidence.
When it charged, in effect, that a lawyer
had SO conducted himself as to obstruct justice
and to benefit those who had something to
hide, the people believed that it had something
more than rumor on which to act
The people may forget the Black Boxes.
They may forget that fervent letter of thanks
for pearl necklace. They may forget the
contract which Ralph Updike, who wants to
go back to Congress, signed with the former
dragon.
But they will not forget Kiplinger and
they are beginning to wonder why no charge
has been made against him as demanded by
the grand jury.
Why should lawyer be immune?

Church Opens
Ne7O Era for
Dry Debates
BY N. D. COCHRAN


THE report of the Church Tenn
a perance Society OF the Episco-
pal Church may we'll be the Begin
ming OF a new and saner period of
discussion as to the success OF fall
ure Of prohibition.
When preachers by the hundreds
from every part of the country say
that prohibition is a failure the
Anti-Saloon League lobbyists can't
sheer it off with the charge that
these preachers are in 3he pay of
the brewers and diStillers
The tactics of the league lobby UNI
der the leadership of the late Wayne
B. Wheeler meant coarse abuse of
any one who criticised either the
Eighteenth Amendment or the Vol
stead act. The conmonest charge
was that such a person was owed
and controlled by the booze inter-
ests.
Such a reign of terror existed that
temperance couldn't be discussed.
You we're either fanatical prohI-
bitionist and patriot with the Anti
Saloon ring in your nose or you were
a booze-hound, tool of the liquor
interests, nullihcationist and 100 per
cent scoundrel.
Now there will be a chance for
discussion. One reason is that hum
dreds of Christian ministers say pro-
hibition is a failure and that both
the Volstead act and the Eighteenth
Amendment ought to be repealed in
the interest OF temperance. If that
many lawyers, doctors or business
men said the same thing it wouldn't
be so convincing. But when preach~
ers say it, that's different.
! u
! TTHERE is a certain magic in
4 having that Rev. in front Of
j your name. If we could dig into the
past for the beginning of human
fear of preachers, we probably
would find that it started when the
savage tribes feared the medicine
men because they thought those in
teresting functionaries had power to-
cast evil spells over them.
Anyhow many people are still
afraid of preachers. Among the IA
natics who think they are serving
the Lord in following the Methodist
and Baptist preachers who run the
political Anti-Saloon League, no at
tention would be paid to Catholic
priests if they argued against pro-
hibition, but these Episcopal preach
: ers are not only Christians, but they
are Protestants So their stand
against the amendment and the
Volstead Ace can't be blamed on the
Pope Of Rome.
For these reasons the contribution
of the Church Temperance Society
of the Episcopal Church is of es-
pecial significance and value.
1t ought to take prohibition out
of the realm Of politics and get It
where sane advocates and opponents
may discuss the problem on its mer-
its-and free from the sinister, DEM
ogogic and INSCRIPTIONS control Of
the cunning political lobbyists Of
the Anti-Saloon Leage who in the
name of Righteousness have literally
raised hell with American sanity
and substituted the gospel Of hate
for the Christian gospel Of love.

TINE question of voice production
4 is interesting not only to sing
ers. but also to public speakers, &C
tors. clergymen and politicians
Among'the factors that are con-
cerned in voice production are tone,
pitch. speed. rhythm, emphasis, in
tensity and articulation.
Voices have been described as
pleasant and unpleasant, well mod
ulated. penetrating. but actually
there are SO many notifications that
the entire gamut of adjectives might
be called on to describe all of the
possibilities.
The tone may be smooth, grating,
rough, hoarse, husky, breathy,
throaty. clear or strident. The
pitch of the voice may be high or
low.
The speed Of speech may be quick
or slow and rhythm and emphasis
vary greatly.
The manner in which the voice
is used is important in getting rid
Of monotony and in sustaining in
terest. Proper articulation can
be obtained only by full use of
the tongue and lips.
Many languages, such as the
Spanish and French, depend great
ly on tone, rhythm and articula-
ton. The English language permits
a large amount of slurring.
The editor of the Medical
Press has pointed out that the
English speakers tend to be lazy
in their articulation and the up
per lip is often kept immovable
during speech.
Indeed, he says that this may be

Why do light bodies fall more
slowly than heavy bodies?

Why do light bodies fall more
slowly than heavy bodies?
Ordinary observation teaches that
light bodies like feathers fall slowly
and heavy bodies like stone fall
rapidly, and up to Galileo's time it
was taught in the schools that
bodies fall with "velocities proper
tional to their weight" Not con-
tent with book knowledge, however,
Calico tried it himself. In the
presence of the professors and
students Of the University of Pisa
he dropped balls of different sizes
and material from the top of the
tower of Pisa, 1870 feet high, and
found that they fell in practically
the same time. He showed that
even very light bodies like paper
fell with velocities which approach
more and more nearly those Of
heavy bodies the more compactly
they were welded together. From
this he deduced that only the re-
sistance of the air causes some
bodies to fall less rapidly than
others. In vacuum all bodies fall
at the same velocity
