Colonel Lindbergh, now that the AMARILLO Texas
editor has recanted his charges, should be able to do
some real flying for undoubtedly the accusation of
being swelled head and high hat must have weighed
heavily the Lone Eagle
1t will be recalled that the colonel. on trip
through Texas several months ago, failed to stop at
Amarillo as he had intended, and after circling around
the town, proceeded on his way.
The Amarillo editor, in caustic editorial, de-
clared that crcling the town just Smart Aleck

know that clrclng town is his way of sautng it when

However, the comment by the editor only brought
forth storm of protest even his townspeope

This week Lndbergh visited Amarillo and was
asked about the incident He confessed having forgot
ten all about it, and remarked that possibly the edi-
tors comment justified for he had spoken sharply
to group in adjacent town his previous visit
fearing that someone might be struck by the propeller
of his plane.
When this news was conveyed to the editor he
again took his trusty pen in hand admitted he had
judged the colonel erroneously and declared before
he world that Lndbergh is top OLE the English say
a right smart flyer and absolutely devoid of the high
hat complex.

McAdoo for Walsh

The News from California that the McAdoo leaders
have decided to support Senator Thomas j. Walsh
for the Democratic nomination interesting for the
spirit of tolerance revealed.
Senator Walsh is a Catholic, just like Governor
AL Smith. One can not fail to recall what the issue
was that turned the Medson Square Garden conven-
ton in to the saddest spectacle of political
ballots through which McAdoo led his hosts of in
tolerance to final, futile finish. And finds it
hard to believe that McAdoo or any other we-wish T.
of Senator Walsh, can deliver such following to a
Catholic
The irony OF McAdoo attempting this is equaled
only by the irony of another phase of the situation
McAdoo ceased to be the progressive candidate III
1924 when the fact of his attorneyshp to Edward L.
Doheny was revealed. And it the determined in
vestigatng of Senator Walsh that made any connec-
ton with Doheny fatal to any Democratic candidate.
1t was Walsh, in way, who finished McAdoo,
which makes all the sweeter the self-sacrifce in
voved in McAdoos announcement for Walsh

The Immortal Mule

1t is encouraging to read that the United States
Army, despite vast increase in the use of motor
propelled vehicles today has many mules as before
The mule is hard individual to Gust. Industrious
silent stubborn and at times vengeful he de1es the
combined efforts of Henry Ford and Secretary Davis
to kick him out of his job. Since the Armys infancy
he has been trooper; to the end of the Armys days
he will continue in that capacity.
We're glad of it. The Army wouldn't be the Army
without the mule. And besides-f there were no
mules, how would the top sergeants cultivate those
sizzling vocabuares without which detachment of
rockies can be drilled into shape?

Business and Employment

Optimistic business forecasts for this year being
heard on every side. With them comes less well
revelation that the employment situation is
far from good. Figures vary widely, but it is appar-
ent that unemployment today is practically where
it in the summer of 1924.
However, most students admit that this is not so
much due to business recession as to the continued
increase in the Of laborsaving machinery. Fac
tory wages are high and production is picking up;
only, in many cases. factories are producing more
goods with fewer men than formerly
This may work hardship for the moment but it
is no cause for alarm. 1t is Il situation that will
adjust itself Our business leaders will have to give
the matter earnest attention OF course but they have
the brains to find a satisfactory solution.

TINE Catholic Church is the most

To the Editor:
Here are a few reminders, by the
way of good old proverbs: A lawyer
and a cart wheel must be well
creased. Colonel compromise is the
best and cheapest lawyer. Fools
and obstinate men make lawyers
rich. Lawyers and painters can soon
make black white. Lawyers and
woodpeckers have long bills.
Government: The first need Of
good government is the right men
to administer it. That is the best
government in which the injury to
one is the concern Of all. The aim
of all government should be in the
happiness Of the people. 1t is cruelty
to the people not to punish the
guilty. Where crooked lawyers and
judges prevail, right and justice
perish.
When you pity and protect rogues,
you are no friend of honest men. II
you save a rogue from the gallows or
penitentiary, he ought to rob you
before night. One rogue does not
convict another. Petty thieves get
heavy sentences, but people take off
their hats to great ones. (Daugherty,

He ought to know what he's talking about; yet it
hardly seems that this State Of affairs is going to

would be easy for lwayer to forget all about rights

Trial BY jury

O'Neil is the better man, for he
did creep back to Montreal with
three-quarters of a million dollars
made out of the hy-by-night Con-
tinental Trading Company that he
thought might belong 10 the stock
holders.
AS to Blackmer, nothing is heard
from him except through his at
torneys, as they stand and argue his
rights under Constitution for
which he has shown nothing but
contempt.
The Walsh act under which the
Governor proposes to collect a fine
of 100000 for his refusal to return
and give evidence, is wrong, these
attorneys say, because it deprives
Mr.. Blackmer Of his constitutional
right of trial by jury.
Trial by Jury, indeed! Does
anyone imagine Blackmer could not
get it, or that the Government
would not be glad to give it to him
