Moon Cooled Rapidly
The moon, like the earth and
other planets, was once a very
hot body. as indicated by the
volcanoes and eruptions seen
on its surface. However, it
cooled much more rapidly than
the earth because of two
things: it lacked the protecting
blanket of atmosphere that
helped the earth to retain it's
heat, and because it is much
smaller than the earth.

zS.-Glenna Collett, Of Provi-

the 1928 title, which goes into
the semi-final round today on
the picturesque and difficult
Cascades course, back over the

Glenna has never really been out
of the picture since the tournament
began. but as long as Maureen Or

made her the sensation of the first
half of the title play, there was no
room for anyone else directly in

The immensely of the economic
structure which Henry Ford controls
is almost beyond comprehension.
The rubber plantation which he
has just established in Brazil, and
which is Just an incident of the
larger enterprise. reveals how ex-
tensive his interests have become.
Here is an area as large as the
States of Connecticut and Rhode
Island combined given over to an
American citizen by the state OF
Para, to be developed and exploited
as he sees fit
BY the concession he has been
granted, Henry Ford becomes a vir-
tual monarch Of 5000 square miles
in the heart of the Amazon jungle.
He has been granted the privilege
Of engaging in commerce. banking
and navigation; OF forming tax
free subsidiary companies, and Of
building railroads, highways and
towns where he pleases. with the
right of eminent domain.
If he devotes only one-half OF
his concession to rubber, and obtains
yield OF only 500 pounds to the
acre each year. he will produce
enough to meet the present needs Of
all American manufactures.

Put Them In Uniform

eeynlour L. Lowman assistant secretary OF the
treasury in charge of prohibition, following the shoot
ing of J. D. Hanson Of Ft. Niagara, N. " by Two
coast guardsmen, agrees prohibition officers shouo
wear distinctive uniforms. Hanson was commanded
to halt his automobile at night. Fearing hold-up
he sped on. He was wounded probably fatally.
Lowman believes officers at work in cities collect
ing evidence might not be effective ip uniforms This
seems reasonable 1t also seems reasonable that there
is no need for these men to go armd There job is
merely to locate violations
It is when attempts made to hal motorists
on the highways in the dead of night, when raids
are made, that the uniforms necessary so that
citizens may know they are facing officers of the
law, and not footpads.
If man knowingly resists lawful arrest and IS
injured he has not one to blame but when he fees
from what he considers a hold-up man and is killed
that is murder.
Two instances similar to that in New York have
occurred within the last few days
Two peace officers, hiding in the dark by high
way near Fresno, Cal Saturday night, turned their
flashlights on the face of Frank Aiello as he sped BY
Aiellc did what any other person would have done
under similar circumstances; he refused to halt The
officers opened fire and killed him.
It makes little difference that contraband liquor
was found in Aiellos home or even that he was re-
puted to be bootlegger.
Bootleggng is not yet capital crime in this
country, nor are peace officers empowered to inflict
the death penalty without judge or jury. No liquor
was found in Aiela's car.
The other instance in Yazoo County, Mssis-
Sppi, Sunday night car occupied by man, two
women and two children fired upon by two
county and two Federal officers when it failed to
stop. TTe car shows bullet marks and two bullets
pierced the metal and entered the cushion of the
rear seat in which one Of the women and her two
children were riding.
The officers are said to have had a tip that a
booze car was to travel that way, and the car on
which they fired fit the description
These instances are among scores Of similar ones
in which officers have used firearms without warrant,
in their attempt to enforce the prohibition law They
are important as illustrating condition which has
become general and which must be corrected.
Peace officers with hair trigger minds and cooked
guns as much menace to peace as thugs plotting
murder and loot. They must be made to understand
that the job of enforcing prohibition does not confer
them license for lawlessness, and the privilege
to disregard the common rights of citizens.
Fortunately, prohibition authorities have had their
attention directed sharply to the situation, and Con-
gress is aroused Action is due, and it must be de-
cisive action, not mere expressions of regret.

Unearth the Frauds

Repeated charges in the Indianapolis News
and the Indianapolis Star that the Hoover
forces and managers in this State used money
corruptly to purchase votes in what they term
the s'Negro sections Of the city, should be in
vestigated to the limit.
The people have the right to have their
ballots counted and to be protected from
That the Hoover following was very large
ly on the side Of the forces opposed to con-
tinuation of corruption makes 1t even more
necessary that these charges be investigated
At the same time there should be an inquiry
nito all the election precincts in Indianapolis
and the methods used by the political machine
TO obtain what votes were cast for Watson and
those in his combination.
The changing Of voting places on the eve of
election may not have been criminal, but that
act of the machine was a deliberate attempt to
keep voters away from the polls and permit
the machine to win.
BY no stretch of the imagination could these
changes have been made to aid those who were
opposed to the Watson-Cofin organization.
The totals returned in many precincts are
suspicious upon their face. The returns were
made by election officials named by Coffin and
in all cases sympathetic with the Watson
candidacy.
If the Hoover forces used money to buy
votes, they should be sent to the penitentiary.
If the newspapers making the charge have
evidence, they shoIid present it at once to the
grand jury.
1t should also be remembered that very
often corrupt machine raises such cry to
drown an accusation against itself.
What the people want and should have, IS
the truth and not unsupported accusation.
The question that naturally arises is whether
the Watson politicians wuold really like an
efficient and thorough inquiry into the conduct
of the campaign.
