for the prevailing suppodtion. In Spain there are at least two dis tingsished novelista. possibly more. who are much higher regarded than Ibanez. But they have written no books on war topics that were trans- lated into many foreign tongues. They arc plain novelists, artists who did not woo foreign acclaim.
 Little, perhaps, would have been known of Ibanez had he not written war books which were eagerly seiz- ed by the foreign populace at q moment when the theme was in- ternationaI fodder. Ibanez became foe to the present regime in Spain and had to banish himself from his native land. Which yielded more in- ternational renown. His pamphlets against the king and against General Primo de Rivera swelled his repute as a swashbuckling republican and democrat. The government in Spain, however, has not been weakened by the bombshells he threw at it.
 This probably is due to the fact that the grand average of Spanish citizenry understands little about the democracy Ibanez talked about, and is not keenly interested to learn. 1banez was several generations ahead of his time. so far as his native land was concerned. The peo- pie look upon the king as . pro- lection against inefficient parlia- mentary rule such as took place on . few occasions. In the eyes of en- frightened nations Alfonso may be a weak-kneed potentate of the ancient school. but for the present genera tion of Spaniards he is good enough considering that they don't care about running things themselves and have less confidence in politicians than enlightened folk have.
 1banez's work for Spain largely went for naught in his native land, while meeting with serious response elsewhere. In Spain he was regarded by the ruling classes as an agitator; elsewhere as a heroic figure in the cause of democracy. The more he agitated the better the sale for his books-in other lands.

Louis F. Post

The principle of tax on Ian O. as the only one to
be laid on people, carried with it prominently the
names of two men, Henry George the founder of
the single tax and Louis F.. Post, for over a gen.
Grafton its great propaganda
Louis F. Post who has just ceased his labors for
the common good at almast four score years of age
has much greater claim on the memory of this and
succeeding generations than his advocacy of some
particular principle of taxation important as it NAV
be in the life of man..
AS the editor of Ghe Public for many years. his
brilliant intellect was always at the service of those
who were fighting to realize that equality of oppor-
tunty so vital to- the happiness of the race and so
necessary to the continued existence of truly free
Government.
One remembers the magnificent fights he waged
IN the latter part of the last century and the early
days OF this one for absolute freedom Of expression
Some of his greatest battles were fought to maintain
the rights of those with whose opinions he had not
the least sympathy He once said that he would fight
for the right of the devil himself to give expression
to his point Of view and that no institution could
endure whose humblest member was deprived of the
right to express the truth as it was given him to
see it.
Post believed that the prime reason for the exist
ence OF Government to enable its citizens to
exercise the fullest freedom individual develop
ment Men were not made to be the mere pawns of the
State Government could be either a tyrant or a
noursher of great souls and Post had no love for it
except as it allowed the freest individual development
Louis F. Post chose to serve the cause OF the COM
mon man throughout his long life and he died in the
full assurance that he had achieved that happiness
which comes only to those who have kept faith with
their own souls His life will go on in the struggle
that other men will continue to wage against all the
powers of tyranny in whatever shape they show
themselves.

4 Timely Decision
BY N. d. COCHRAN

1t is encouraging to find out that there is an
actual limit to the power Of courts in issuing labor
injunctions Many injunctionS issued in industrial
disputes throughout the country nave appeared 10
the layman to be outrageous infracions OF the law
full rights of citizens. SO in fixing some limit the
Court of Appeals, the court OF highest authority IN
New York State, has put curb on the lower courts
The particular injunction which has just been
set down on was issued by Supreme Court Justice
Deehanty in behalf of the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company shortly after the strike OF l. r. T. en-
poyes 1926. 1t was confirmed by the Appellate
division It enjoined certain members of the Gen.
eral Committee of the Brotherhood from interfering
with the employees of the l. r. T. and inducing theH
to join an association of street railway employees
Secretlythe American Association OF Street Car and
Electric Employees.
. Judge Irving Lehman, handing down the opinion
of the Court said:
"Where employees have freedom of choice all labor
unions may not be accused of malicious interference
when it urges employees to make that choice In Its
favor; though the choice may involve termina-
ton of present employment and consequent disrup-
ton of a business organization.
1.-THE defendants have the right to induce the
plaintiffs employees to join the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, though that may involve termination OF their
employment"
The opinion guards against labor leaders using
unlawful means to accomplish their purpose, OF course
but it defines what is not unlawful and leaves the
Amalgamated Association free to approach employees
OF the r. It. and induce them to join the real union
What happened was that the Interborough organ
lied what is known company union-the So
called Brotherhood-and then sought to prevent
efforts to induce its employees to join the real union
A company controlled union is not voluntary or
ganization of employees at ALL Its purpose is to pre-
vent employees from exercising their right to organize
and to bargain collectively through agents of then
own choosing. The injunction's purpose was to tic
the hands of Arnalgamated organizers and keep en-
ployes in the company union in practical slavery
But such injunctions serve another useful purpose
for those who invoke them against labor unions BY
enjoining them from doing something in itself moi
unlawful, those who violate the injunction can be
deprived of the right of trial by jury and punished
arbitrarily and sunmariy for contempt of court.
1t is to be hoped the opinion. of the New Yorl
Court of appeals will have tendency to make some
Of the injunction judges of the lower courts watch

Removing Speed Limits

The State OF Michigan has removed all speed
limits on rural highways Hereafter State police will
not make arrests for speeding they will arrest, in
tead for reckless driving" and the like
This raises again the old question, How fast is
too fast?"
Is an automobile moving at 45 miles an hour
danger to life and lnb-or is such speed only
dangerous under certain conditions? Is it possible
for speed of Is miles an hour, under circunl~
stances, to be more dangerous than go miles hour
under others?
We have long nourished feeling that mere speed
is not the dangerous factor that there are times and
places where it ought to be legal for motorist to
drive as fast he wants to. 1t will be worth while
study the records that Michigan drivers make dur
nE"he coming year and see just how the removal Of
speed limits works out in actual practice.

- THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION -
Roman Senate Plots Against Caesar
Written for The Times by Will Durant

sar by CrasSus and Julia, but in the
years 81 B. c. CraSsus was killed in
Syria and death took Julia and the
child, which she had given to
Pompey; all the bonds were snapped
and jealousy was left free.
Pompey accepted from the Sen
ate the command of all the legions
in Italy, and added two legions,
which had been given him by Gaze
Sar, on the understanding that they
were to be sent to Spain.
Caesar made every effort for
peace. To the Senate he wrote one
letter, and to the people another
which he commissioned Marc
Antony, one Of his generals, to read
to the Assembly in Rome; in both
letters he offered to avoid civil war
by retiring to private life if Pcmpey
would make a similar sacrifice
When the people of Rome heard
this letter, and Antony's eloquent
praise Of his master, they turned
almost unanimously to the support
OF Caesar.
The Senate replied to Caesars
letter by demanding that he dismiss
his army. Their holiness was due
to LabienuS, who had deserted
Caesar, and who assured the Senate
that Caesars troops would not
fight for him. Caesar convened his
legions. explained the situation tc
them, and announced that any man
who wished to leave was free, and
that those who remained would
have to fight without pay.
We may judge the ELECTION which
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-01-14

his soldiers had developed for him.
from the fact that even in the face
of this announcement they voted to
remain with him; not one man left
and both officers and men, abandon
ing their salaries, volunteered con-
tributions for the war. Even So
Caesar resisted; his legions were
worn out with ten years of toll; he
was loath to risk them in struggle
that seemed to aim only at his per-
Sonal supremacy. But he longed fol
revenge and for the power to make
Rome healthy again.
The senate had rejected law and
every political method of settling
these disputes; very well, said Gaze
car, he had no taste for politics,
and the Vmenial manipulation of
elections hardly accorded with the
nature and stature of the man.
He made one last effort; he wrote
to the senate that if Ponpey would
go to Spain he would dismiss his
troops and retire to private life.
This proposal failing, he offered
to meet Pompey at some mutual
place, feeling certain that a per-
so1lal interview would result in
peace.
The Senate disdained to answer;
instead, it ordered levy en- masse
for its defense. On Jan. IA, ~ B.
c., Caesar, saying that the die was
cast, crossed the Rubicon and
marched upon Rome.

Operation for Crime

1t was nearly one year ago that
Edward d. Lyle, young and suc-
cessful insurance broken of Staten
Island, Gtolen an automobile at the
point of a gun.
Two doctors, one of them an
alienist in the Thaw case, told the
court that Lyle was suffering from
sinus trouble which interfered with
blood circulation in certain areas Of
the brain, thus giving rise to ire
pressible criminal tendencies.
Acting on the district attorneys
recommendation, the court reduced
Lyle's bail and put the case over
with the understanding that Lyle
would submit to an operation.
The operation for sinus trouble
disclosed that it was the least of his
Affections. His tonSils were re-
moved, five abscessed teeth were
extracted and he was treated for
abnormally high blood pressure.
Lyle was eventually allowed to
plead guilty to petty larceny which
permits the court to grant
suspended sentence or put him on
probation
