CITY FATHERS
VOTE LAND FOR
FLYING FIELD

That the city of Flagstaff is taking
the lead in progressive promotion of
aviation is indicated by the publica-
ton OF reports that the city council
of that city has approved the purchase
of $50 acres of land situated eight
miles from the city to be used as an
air port
The statement is made that this air
port will be used for the trans-con-
tinental air lines as well as for the
sightseeing service over the Grand
canyon. owing to the mountainous
region surrounding Flagstaff no land
level enough for the port could be
found nearer the CITY,. M 81 u..a
It is pointed out that the action OF
that city apparently sets at rets the
question: of whether or not munich
pality can legally appropriate funds
for public work outside the city limits.
With Tucson going forward with its
lighting of field there and advocat-
ing the early Inauguration Of lighted
airway across Arizona and with the
Douglas chapter OF the N. A. A. laying
plans to secure an international air
port for Douglas and Aqua Prieta, the
backing of aviation by Arizona cities
seems assured. ~ -.

SAYS DOUGLAS
LOOKS TO HIM
like AIRPORT

Declaring that his brief view of
Douglas together with what he had
heard of it prior to arrival, had made
a most favorable impression upon
him. A. L. Swengel, Of Detroit, fore
casted that when flying becomes one
of the popular pastimes of the Ameri-
can public in the next 10 or dozen
years, Douglas will be one of the de-.
sirabIe ports for fliers. Accompanied
by Mrs. Swengel, the Detroit man was
on his way to the west coast by auto
mobile. 9
''Our city is the world center of the
au. omcbi,e industry and we have am
bitions to make it the world center,
or at least the center of the American
continent in the a.rp-ane business" !"
said Swengel. 1--WE believe we are on
the way to success with our latest am
bi,ion and we think that the recent
flight of Mrs Lindbergh to the city
-of Mexico and return was an achieve
ment favorable to our view. The air.
plane is just as certain to become a
popular and much used means of
Transportation as that night follows
day. We are trudging along with the
automobile to day, compared to the
possibilities that the plane will open
up to the traveller of the future, in
much the same way as the horse and
buggy numbered along over the roads
80 years ago.
"Your city and all this section is
destined, as I view it, to become a
popular air route for much the same
reason as it is now favored route for
the au omobile traffic. There is a
pleasing climate all the year and there
is a freedom from the rigors Of winter
during the months when winter is
getting in it's work in the higher lati-
tudes.
"There is a freedom from unfavor
able weather at practically all seasons
so that a flight through this latitude
would be regarded as safe undertak-
ing at all periods of the year.
Business through the east is NOV
ing along satisfactorily. The automo-
bile industry seems to be in healthy
condition. Every company is striving
for new advantage for trade and
for a new record in output. Some few
wears ago people were conjecturing
about the absorption point for auto
mobiles, meaning the time when the
country would be fully supplied. They
have their answer. 1t will never hap
pen. Even in that time of which !
have forecasted, when there will be
much flying from place to place car
rying both freight and passengers
there still will be vast volume of
automobile traffic. There also will be
better cars than we have now, and
unless I am poor guesser, there will
be a cheaper car than we have yet
seen. And through it all we, hope to
retain the centar of the industry where
it is now-Detroit." ~

Thousands Neglect
To Apply for New
Automobile Licenses


Only 498 applications for 1928 au-
tomobile licenses had come in to the
offices in the city hall of. Deputy
Cou1S1yy Assessor James A. Howell up
to last night. The total applications
made yesterday was 60 which is the
largest number for any one day
since the work started.
Howell commented yesterday on
the situation saying that it was ap-
parent that lack of funds could not
be a great factor in the slowness OF
the public because Friday was the
payday at the snelters and yet only
sixty applied.
Howell says that he does not know
what is to be the outcome of the
business unless the public starts ap-
plying for the tags as they must
be on the cars this year by February
4 and there is nothing according to
Howell, to indicate that there will
be any change in the law on the
subject.

Ex-Dog Catcher Said
To Be Wanted For
Escape From Texas

That Wade Williams, the dog catcher
who was sentenced to the penitentiary
for horse stealing is wanted in Texas
as an escaped convict was the report
brought to Douglas from the sheriff's
office in Tombstone yesterday.
The young man is believed to be
William Wade, wanted by a Texas
sheriff and it is recalled here now that
the youth related some time ago that
he had been in iails before. Sheriff
Henshaw is workine on the case, al
though it is probable that Williams,
or Wade will now have to serve out
his sentence in the Arizona penitentiary
before he can be sent back to Texas.

TURNING POINT
FOR LANE TOLD
Association Hears Story of
Militant HooSier.

James H. Lanes change Of po-
litical party and his transition from
a conservative to a radical was dis
cussed by Prof. w. H. Stephenson
of Louisiana State university at the
joint meeting of the American His
torical Association and the Missis-
Sippi Valley Historical Association
at the Claypool this morning.
He outlined the period in Lanes
history after he left Indiana, when
he joined the Free State party and
led the movement for popular SOW
ereignty.
"'The Wakarusa war In the
struggle for Kansas was a turning
point in Lanes career" Prof. Ste
phenson said. "He was essentially
a conservative until the crisis pre-
sented an opportunity for military
leadership, for in drilling and lead
ing men Lane was in his element. !"
In January, 1856, Lane accepted
the Republican doctrine of opposi-
ton to the extension of slavery
into the territories. He then went
to Washington to labor for the adj
mission of Kansas into the Union,
but his efforts were defeated by
Douglas and other administration
leaders. Lane now broke entirely
with the past, repudiated his former
political associates, and became a
crusader for freedom.

CHURCH POLITICAL
PARTY THEORY HIT
No Place in Democracy of
America for 1t, Says
Fitzpatrick.

"a Roman Catholic political party
has no place in American democ-
racy."
This statement was not from
Senator Thomas Hef1in or Wizard
Hiram Evans, but was made here
today by John C. Fitzpatrick, Wash
ington, D. c., president of the
American Catholic Historical ASso-
citation, in convention as one Of the
associated organizations with the
American Historical Association.
"Here in America our forefathers
made new start and the formula
of both parties built along religious
lines, as prevail in certain countries
of Europe, are not needed nor want
ed" President Fitzpatrick asserted
in an interview with The Indian
apolis Times.
ION the other hand, should a
Catholic be prescribed from public
office because of his religion, it
would mean a change In American
ideals which almost would force CO.
heSion among his fellow religionists,"
he pointed out.
Surely We want no such foreign
political Affiliations here in America.
Senator Norris worded the thing
very well following the recent preSi-
Dental election. He said that pro-
hibition and religion were irrelevant
factors, having a great and entirely
uncalled-for effect on the final re-
suit
That simply means that voters
still are guided by prejudice and
emotional passion, rather than by
intelligence. Such condition
makes democracy ridiculous"
Delegates to the Catholic conven-
ton were welcomed by MonSignor
Francis H. GaviSk. The chief
speaker at the sessions is the Rev.
Peter Guilday of the Catholic uni
vesrity at Washington, secretary of
the organization.

BREASTED WINS
WORLD FAME IN
HISTORY FIELD
Outgoing Association Head
Has Written Notable
Works on Orient.
BY HELEN O. MARIN

DR.. James H. Breasted, outgoing
president of the American HiStori-
cal Association, in session at the
Claypool, and professor of Egypt
ology and oriental history in the
University of Chicago, is the fore
most American historian of the
Orient. His work in depth and ap-
peal somewhat approaches that of
Adolph Erman, his teacher at the
University of Berlin; but Erman,
like the English teachers in this
field, is interested chiefly in Ian
guages.
DR.. Breasted is interested in peo-
pie; more than any other writer,
past or present, he is able to make
ancient peoples live even to such
an age as this.
His work is almost unique among
oriental studies in being based alto
gether on his own research and in
being entirely scientific. 1t appeals
strongly to the sympathieS and the
imagination, but truth is never sac
rificed nor neglected for the sake
of the picture.
DR.. Breasted is the head of the
Oriental Institute O. the University
of Chicago, established in 1919, in
his own words, for the investiga-
ton of the human career"
It's first achievement, which was
his work was in hi swords again,
ito eXcavate further and make record
Of a remarkable series of wall paint
ings first disclosed by British mill
tary digging in a vast and little
known fortress on the Made Eu-
pirates"
The paintings, which were on the
walls of a chapel, since have been
destroyed by Arabs and live only in
the records of the Oriental Institute.
They furnish the basis of one of Dr.
Breasted's best known books, Orr
entail Forerunners of Byzantine
Paintings"
Professor BreaSted'S books are
final authority as to ancient times
as we'll as a colorful picture OF
them. Among them are THE Con-
quest of Civilization" "a History
of Egypt" and a high school text
book entitled Ancient Times,
which has been translated into all
civilized languages and is known all
over the world.
1t has brought to youth of all ma
tions the realization of beauty in
the past which gives its final color
to the present.
DR.. Breasted will depart on New
Years day for the Orient. He will
spend the most of the winter at
Chicago House. the headquarters of
the Oriental Institute in Egypt
which stands at the foot of cliffs not
far from the Valley of Kings, the
place of Tutankhamon's tomb.

BILL OF RIGHTS
IN LOCAL PERIL
Speaker Says Community
Often Ignores Text.

Freedom of speech and press is
guaranteed by the Constitution, bur
whether it exists in practice is q
matter that rests with the COM
munity.
Where prejudice is widespread
fair trials may be impossible, III
spite of the bill of rights, for pre-
vailing social sentiment may amount
to a stacking of the cards for or
against the accused.
1.-THE same may be said of the
American principle of religious free
dom and the absence of a religious
test for Office holding. The effective
ness of these constitutional rights
depends upon the social mind"
This doctrine Of community re-
sponsibility for constitutional guar
artees was expounded at noon to-
day by Professor J. G. Randall of
the University of Illinois at one of
the group luncheons of the Ameri-
can Historical Association at the
Claypool.

HEBREW FAITH
is PICTURED AS
TRUMP liant
Religion Lives on Centuries
After Fall of Rival
Doctrines.

1.-THE Babylonians, Assyrians ami
Egyptians, as we'll as the Hebrews,
believed they were the chosen peo-
pie of God and their ruler was holy;
but only the religion of the Hebrews
mas lived and continued an active
force in modern life"
So said Professor j. Powis Smith
of the University of Chicago, speak
ing on 1.-THE Unique Element in He
brew Religion" before the AIneri-
can Historical Association, in joint
session with the middle west branch
of the American Oriental Society at
the Claypool this afternoon.
THE world long since has ceased
to take these claims for Babylonia,
Assyria, Egypt and Moab at all seri-
ously," said Professor Smith, while
the claim of the Hebrews long has
been respected and still is respected
by many people. Why this differ
ence of estimator"
Three reasons were given by the
speaker in explanation. The first
was the work of the prophets in
moralizing the religion of Israel and
converting its theory of divine choice
into sense of mission of service
to the world at large.
The second reason offered was the
nature of the Old Testament, which
is superior to the literature of
Egypt and Babylon. The third ex-
PLANTATION lies in the large amount
of editing that went into it, when
the Hebrew mind borrowed dis
criminatingly from other peoples
and purified and enriched whatever
it took.
"Thus the inherent excellence Of
the Hebrew idea of choice as en-
riched by the prophets Voc given an
admirable background and an ideal
setting, professor Smith concluded,
"and presents itself in the most at
tractive and winning robes and at
tltudt.'

Indiana SaUed Abe

win the Republicans must carry
several Buchanan states of 1856,
Of which Indiana was one. This
made her position a strategic one
in 1860.
The twenty-six delegates went
to the Chicago convention unin-
Structed. Statements differ as to
when they went over to Lincoln,
but the total vote of the Indiana
delegates was given to him on all
three ballots, and they did much
to aid in winning other votes to
him. Only one other state, Illi-
noiS, cast its solid vote for Lin
coin on the first ballot.
Indiana not only nurtured Lin
coin during those formative years
in which he grew from youth to
manhood" added Professor Roll,
"but she played very important
part in making him the sixteenth
President of the United States"

sustained Clark'S credit during those
critical days of 1778 and 1779," said
James. THE personal sacrifices of
Pollock in melting these demands,
as we'll as similar ones on behalf
of Virginia and the United States,
never has been given adequate rec
ignition.
Finally" the speaker concluded,
latter many disappointments and
embarrasSments, including i'm
priSonment, he was awarded, in De-
cember, 1785, the sum of 100000 by
congress, but the treasury was
empty and he was not paid for an
other six years"
