No Definite News

New York, March Is LPl-Despite widespread but uncontirmed reports of planes heard through the night. fear increased today that q viscount's daughter had followed a princess to death in the latest attempt to fly the perilous western air lane of the North Atlantic.
 There was still hope that the Hon. orahle Elsie Mackay and Capt Wall ter Hinchllffe. British war ace, had somehow escaped the fate met last summer by the Princess Lowenstein- Wertheim and her two pilots, and by Nungresser and Coli, but 1t was the hope born Of desperation.
 Left Tuesday
 Miss Mackay and Hincllliffe took off in England at $40 o'clock east srn standard time Tuesday morning and by the most optimistic compu7a- ton their gasoline could only have kept them aloft until dawn today. But hours after that no definite word had been received of them and avia- tors generally feared that the North Atlantic, never yet crossed in an air. plane in the westerly direction, had increased the number of it's victims by two.
 American representative of Hinch- life admitted that the situation was of the utmost gravity but they re- fused to abandon hope. They cabled Mrs. Hinchliffe that they felt there was a reasonable chance that the gold and black plane Endeavour had landed on the ice of the frozen north, in some inaccessible portion Of Newfoundland or Nova Scotia, or had been picked up at sea by some small vessel unequpped with wire less. They assured her that every thing possible would be done to run down every rumor and exhaust every possibility of rescue.
 Countless Reports
 F'itful hope was kept alive in some quarters by almost countless re- ports of persons who had heard or seen planes scudding through the skies on the air course from New 1oundland 10 Boston or New York or Philadelphia. but all of these re- ports were vague. none of the planes seen or heard WAS identified as the Endeavour. and as the hours passed and if became 3 certainty that Miss Mackay and Hinchliffe were no longer aloft no definite word of their fate developed.
 IT the Indeavour had been on it's course and had passed the coast of Newfoundland undetected the tliors would have been heard from long before this, as the whole Atlantic saahoard was on the watch for them | and they could hardly have escaped 1 notice. They probably would not l have remained at the planes service 1 ceiling Of l4.G0p feet after passing land. ayiators believed, as they 1 would have been anxious that their l relatives in England know of their l safety and would have made some I effort to attract attention.

Horse BuYing, Trading

One hates to think that the ques-
ton of whether man like Herbert
Hoover is nominated depends on
whether two individuals are will
ing.
1t would be much more satisfy
ing to believe that such a question
hinged on untrammeled public
opinion, that the rank and file
exercised a deciding voice and that
night caucusing and horse trading
played no part in the picture.
But what is the use? In 1920,
did not Wood, Lowden, johnson and
the rest troupe down to Chicago
with the soothing illusionment that
it would be a matter of votes,
whether bought, or otherwise OBJ
tanned, only to find that it was a
matter of conferences at three in
the morning? Have not the Platts,
the Conklins, the Quays and the
Hannas shown us how the thing
was done, and set ample precedence
for doing it?
Why should we suppose that the
Republican party has revolution
lied its tactics, except for that
sense of illusionment which forever
inspires us to believe that good is
about to triumph?

No Fear of Farmers

One hears much talk about the
strategy this faction or that will
pursue, but it is all talk.
The real strategy continues yelled.
The prevailing supposition is that
President Coolidge will make some
kind of a statement when he gets
ready, but what kind no one knows.
It is also reasonable to infer that
when Secretly Mellon makes up his
mind he will deliver the Pennsyl-
vania delegation with a resounding
whack, but when, or to whom, is
still a mystery.
Though disturbing some Repub-
lican leaders right now, and though
it may do worse next November,
the farm rumpus promises to cut
less of a figure at Kansas City than
most people think.
Coolidge showed what he thought
of it when he vetoed the McNary-
Haugen bill, and Secretary Mellon
has given no indication Of being
worried.
Rightly or wrongly, both men
seem more anxious about the in
dustrial East than the agricultural
West, possibly because they regard
Governor Smith as the one great
obstacle standing between the Re
publican party and its retention of
power.

Wire Tapping

Whenever governments have violated the rights of
free men they have sought to sanctify their tyranny
by the doctrine that the end justifes the means.
Such oppression always has brought its ret
ribution No institution government has survived
which continued to dsobey the ethical code legal
statute it imposed upon its people That respect for
law upon which ordered society rests is turned to
popular contempt when the government becomes the
lawbreaker.
To escape such tyranny of Church and State, our
Government was founded, and Constitution raised
as barrier against future encroachnents by any Of
cialdom which might forget the peoples liberty from
which its power derived.
Our land, except during war excuses, usually has
been free from those governmental transgressons of
civil rights But this American heritage of civil liberty
is endangered.
In the enforcement of one unpopular statute, Of
icers of the law now find it necessary without war
rant and without evidence of guilt to shoot citizens
to invade their homes-to tap their telephone wires.
The United States Supreme Court by a bare ma
ory has ruled that it constitutional for Federal
prohibition agents at Seattle tap wires to obtain evil
dence against persons suspected of violating the Vol
stead act
This decision was rendered despite the fourth and
fifth amendments to the Constitution protecting cit
zens from giving evidence against themselves and
from unlawful search by officials and despite the
State Law making overlapping misdemeanOr.
Justices Brandeis, Holmes, Butler and Stone dis
sented
GAS means of espionage writs Of assistance and
general warrants but puny instruments of tyranny
and oppression when compared with wire-tapping,"
said Brandeis.
Men born to freedom naturally are alert to repel
invasion of their liberty by evi-mnded rulers. The
greatest dangers to liberty Turk in insidous encroac
ment by men Of ZEAL well-meaning, but without
derstanding.
1.-THE terms of appointment of Federal prohibition
agents do not purport to confer upon them authority
to violate any criminal law.
"Decency, security and liberty alike demand that
government officials shall be subjected to the
rules of conduct the citizen
Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes
lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law it invites
every man to become law unto himself it invites
anarchy"
If anything will bring this country back to sane
laws and lawful enforcement this unrestrained shoot
ing and wiretappng by prohibition officers should do
it, Americans, whether wet or dry, should awaken to
this Peril to our freedom and our decency.

rent through it, the coil of wire long the
rent flows, will exhibit the same attraction for a
piece of iron that magnet does In addition, such
coil of wire if properly constructed and suspended,
will indicate directions in precisely the same way
that the compass needle does.
Such coil of wire is known as an electromagnetic.
Therefore, when It became apparent that the by
pothesis of the earth a magnet could no longer be
sustained it was suggested that the earth might be
great electro magnet.
Two suggestions were put forward. One was that
there were electric currents circulating in the atmoS
phere above the earth. The other was that there
electric currents flowing in the earth itself.
1t is a known fact that atmospheric electricity
exists, the air about us being at high electrical
potential But further experiments have inclined
most scientists to believe that the earthS magnetism
originates in the earth itself
The suggestion was next brought forward that the
rotation of the earth caused its magnetism This sug
gestion is based upon the assumption that the earth
possesses an electrical charge. Rotation of such a
charge should create magnetic field.
Experiments have been performed at the depart
ment of terrestrial magnetism of the Carnegie In
sttution of Washington and at other laboratories to
test out this and similar theories
1t is also thought by many observers that there
direct connection between the magnetism of the
earth and the magnetic fields of the sun and other
heavenly bodies

Three More DAVIS

Congress voted overwhelmingly for reten-
ton of Muscle Shoals and its operation by the
Government. Few Congressman desired to face
their constituents this year with a record Of
having voted to give this great enterprise over
to the private utilities.
Most of them foresaw that Muscle Shoals
would be major issue, if not the major issue,
in case the question were not disposed of.
It certainly will be such an issue if it is not
signed by the President. Three days remain
in which to sign it.

Balance Of Power

There are two possible theories as
to why the Pennsylvania delegates
we're not instructed.
In the first place, Mr. Mellon
might have wished to hold them in
reserve, so he could strike telling
blow for Hoover at the psychological
moment. In the second place he
might have wished to hold them in
reserve for quite an opposite pur-
pose.
Both he and President Coolidge
have taken a peculiar attitude to-
ward the Hoover campaign.
Hoover hackers have counted on
their support as virtually assured,
and what Mr.. Mellon said at the
Pennsylvania convention seems to
confirm this, but that is all
Neither the close-mouthed Presi-
dent of the United States nor his
equally close-mouthed secretary of
the treasury has said or done any
thing that binds them to the Hoover
campaign.
With the former It is still a case
of It do not choose" and with the
latter it is a case Of not even having
gone that far.

wv practically all selected and
ready to start for Kansas City, we
are almost as much in the dark as
ever.
Though Mr.. Hoover stands well
out in front, he lacks the necessary
545 votes to nominate, and that, too,
by the admission of his own sup
pOrters.
Only 5311s delegates are claimed
for him, and 181 of those are in
dispute. He is certain of 35O1a, and
reasonably certain of perhaps 100
more. If he gets $50 on the first
ballot, his hackers will be delighted
and his opponents disappointed.
Besides President Coolidge, there
is one man who has it within his
power to say whether Herbert Hoo
yer shall be the Republican nomi-
nee.
That man is Andrew W. Mellon.
The seventy-nine uninstructed
delegates from Pennsylvania not
only represent clear balance of
power, but look to Mr.. Mellon for
guidance. When the time comes,
they will go where he says.
If one knew what was in Mr..
Melons mind, it would be easy to
forecast the result, though it is
possible that his mind has not been
made up, as yet. and that, like many
another Republican leader. he is
waiting to hear from President
Coolidge.
