eminent appeals for better state laws and regulation
Of flying.
Which means that rapid progress is being made IN
the commercial and scientific aspects Of aviation,
without accompanying progress in governmental safe
guards.
This is not the fault of the federal government The
department of commerce is developing and enforcing
regulation of interstate traffic rapidly and eau
tiously as demanded by new and quickly changing
industry. Federal legislation will be extended.
But under our system Of government there are defi-
mite limits beyond which Washington can not CO. lin
its within each of the fortyeight states is its boss
And that is the rub. The mounting death rate and
general confusion in the industry is directly attrbut-
able in large part not only to the industrys newness
but to the indifference and negligence of many states
which lack adequate laws and regulation.
1.-THE remedy under the existing federal law requires
suitable state legislation legislation which, among
other things must take into consideration the impera
tive need for uniformity throughout the United
States in the matter of airworthiness of aircraft
competency Of airmen, and most particularly in the
operation of aircraft in the air. according to state
ment by the department of commerce yesterday
Model laws have been prepared by the department
undr which each state would bring its safety standards
up to those of the federal government Surely there
are few things more important in the state legisa-
lures than speedy enactment of these laws, with ample
provision for enforcement.

Why They Fight

Rather sickening is the turning of pub
lie attention from that fine crusade of the
City Manager League for decent govern
ment to the sordid fight or fake fight of Boss
Coffin and former vassals for control of the
Republican nomination.
The public is very solemnly assured that
the fight between Coffin and few of those
who formerly carried out his edicts, is real.
The public is assured that Senator Arthur
Robinson, in whose Office the peevlings
gather, is no longer on the list of Coffin
favorites.
AS far as public interest is concerned, it
makes little difference whether the quarrel
is real or merely staged for the purpose Of
distracting attention from some of the in
fames in which both factions, if they be
factions, have had their share.
No one has ascribed any deeper motive
for the quarrel than falling out over jobs,
patronage and power. No one has had the
temerity to suggest that the revolutionists
in the Coffin ranks rebelled because of their
disgust with Coffinism. No one would be-
lieve that and it is probable that they would
resent in the name of party welfare, any sug
geStion that they would operate the city on
other but boss tactics if their candidate
happens to get away with the nomination
and runs the ganlet Of supreme court de-
cisions as to the regularity of the election,
convention or what have you.
AS far as the real interests of Indian
apols are concerned, its freedom from bond
ace and tribute its escape from privileged
loot and privileged immunities of various
kinds, it makes little difference whether it
be Coffinism or the boys he trained in trick
cry who run the affairs.
There is lost in this party squabble that
fine challenge presented by the City Man
ager League and it's declaration that party
politics should be eliminated from city gov
eminent.
That spirit and that enthusiasm should
be preserved. 1t should be made effective.
The organization of volunteers which con-
trasted so strongly with it's machine follow
ers in their thinking, their actions and their
aims should be held together if Indianapolis
is to be saved from Coffinism as well as Coffin.
There is no mistake as to the real enemy.
It was Coffinism which led the legal battle on
the law. 1t was Cofinism which challenged
the movement. 1t is Cofinism which must
be defeated
The way to beat it is to marshal the
forces of good government into fighting
army which will guard the ballot boxes from
fraud and the city hall from the lieutenants
of loot.

Write the President

Every good citizen is interested in having the best
nossibe Judges in the federal courts and should be
sef-sacrcng enough to give advice to the President
who NAV be without full knowledge as to the fitness,
desrability and background of men whose names are
suggested to him.
It is now revealed that the name Of Judge Julian
Travis of the supreme. court has been very quietly
suggested for the court of appeals just vacated by
Judge Anderson
That his name was overlooked by the two senators
when they were asked furnish list OF possibilities
must be charged as a derelction against them That
has been reneded The name is now before the
President sent there at about the time that the city
manager law issue closed and turned over to
him for the duty of writing the decision.
Others we're more discerning than the senator's
One of the first was the leading attorney in the fight
against the law Others came from Michigan City
From this city came a recommendation from Milt
Clawson. who will be remembered for the ease with
which he was tricked by Klinck with forged
affidavit under which an indictment of Tom Adams
and the editor Of this paper sought in the federal
court.
That should not detract from the value of the
Clawson letter of praise. 1t might even add to it.
The Times is most happy to shed light on one
phase of hte judgeship appointment which has not
been generally known 1t prints today the list of the
Travis Endorsements and the dates on which they
were sent.
The President is entitled to all the information and
all the light which be had
Write to him today, if il had not occurred to you
that Judge Travis might be available.
The federal courts should have the services OF the
very best legal minds They are entitled to men of
courage who will declare the law bravey at all times
and not be led astray by public clamor
If you have already given approval to other men
whose names have been suggested under the impress
sion that Travis was not on the list there is still time
to correct or revise your appeal
1t is an important matter. AL good citizens should
at all times give their best advice these important
matters Unquesonably the President will appreci-
ate your help.

REASON By FR IASB4S

Utterly aside from the matter of the actual
~ construction of warships, we never should sub
scribe to the proposition that Great Britain is entitled
to have the greatest navy in the world for national
prestige is largely synonymous with national power
actual or potential.
At the Washington naval conference during Hard
ngs administration, it was conceded that the United
States was entitled to equal power with Great
Britain and it would be positive disloyalty to the
United States for statesmen formally to surrender
that equality.
We did not build up to the equality conceded us
by the Washington conference and the chances are
that would not build up to such equality for years
to come, but we want the RIGHT to do it, if ever
that should be desirable.
Formally surrender this equality and we have a
hard time getting it back
IT'S never good idea to sign document, agreeing
to play second fiddle to anybody else on earth
and the New York lawyers who urge our government
to do so are not qualified to advise this country
European matters their sympathieS their vacations,
their ideals all being beyond the Atlantic.
We are glad to see that Paul McNutt national
commander of the American Legion has returned

but his hat is still the same old size.

championship in both leagues has been determined

Mrs Coolidges magazine article telling about that

we think of the thousands entitled to them.

A LONG the sidelines there might

Whenever any one or two arose to
discuss matters having no national
pertinence, the official would blow
his whistle to indicate time out.
And every senator would be

am moved to this passion for
economy by recent exchange be-
tween Senators Smoot and Brook
hart. The gentleman from Iowa
asserted that he had seen the gen.
tleman from Utah at Washing
ton dinner where drinks we're
served.
Senator Smoot denied the accu-
sation. In fact, he almost intimated
that 1t must have been two other
fellows.
Eventually testimony was brought
out that the liquor was in TASKS

admitted that Senator Smoot never
stopped for SO much as napkin.

a STAFF correspondent from
IN Gastonia reports that the mill
owners are actuated by sincere
desire ito keep out the Red" I
doubt it. I think it much more
likely that their patriotic fervor is
motivated by a desire to keep out of
the red.
1t is my experience that "dan-
gerous radicalism" is very often just
another way of describing any
thing which may cut down profits.
Surely there are many of us now
alive who can remember when the
eight-hour day was attacked as rank
anarchy. And while the Communist
agitators have done many things in
North Carolina that I don't approve,
everything said against them has
been charged at one time or an
other against the now respectable
leaders of that exclusive organiza-
ton known as the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
From my point of view it seems
fair to say that Communism at its
very best is an economic device
which has not proved itself. Rus
STA, while neither so black nor red
as it has been painted, still leaves
much to be desired in the eyes of
Utopia seekers.

Editor Times-While visiting on
the "avenoo"-I refer to Indiana
find the bootleggers and gamblers
are very much elated over their
victory in the defeat of the city
manager form of municipal govern
ment. Being from good old Gin
cinnati, I feel sorry for all your
honest citizens.
The old "avenoo" crowd seem to
think that their chief, old, wise,
George" they call him, sure enough
has his mayor elected now.
Having lived in your city number
of years, and known Mr.. Sullivan,
the Democratic choice for mayor,
for almost lifetime, and known
him as an honest, fearless, good
citizen, my advice to the City Man
ager League would be to get behind
him and push on to victory.
The w. c. T. u, Of which I am
a member, made this city its con-
vention city, but if the Coffin gang
gets control, the bootleggers and
gamblers will establish their head
quarters here.
Now is the time for all good citi-
zens to get the bull by the horns
instead Of the tail, and forget you
have a political party, but try to
tie the bull.

zation than it would be for a mill
worker in Gastonia. I should not
like to have the task of convincing a
12-year-old child in a southern mill
that our economic system is without
flaw.
And If were commissioned to
convince the sweated and suffering
toilers that this is the land of equal
opportunity, I don't know whether l
should weep or laugh.
People seem to forget that the
violence which has characterized a
number of Communist labor dis
putes in this country can not fairly
be blamed upon radical agitators.
Nobody can agitate unless he has
straw to work with. If North Caro-
lima actually wants to keep the Reds
out, the state is going about the bust
ness in a foolish way. No sincere
movement can be mobbed to death.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

A few physicians insist on several
actions of the bowels each day for
every one, but this point of view is
not accepted by the majority.
DR.. Ira S. Vile has made a study
of the relationship of accumulation
of by-products in the body to hui
man behavior. He points out that
not infrequently the child's reaction
is bad because it has learned from
his family that it must have activity
daily and it resents forcing.
In other instances, the bowels
have been 50 irritated by the use of
catharticS and laxatives that the
mind constantly IS occupied with
the process of evacuation.
Thus Vile feels convinced that

Bread, Not Bullets

A S LONG as Gastonia mill own
LAers pay starvation wages for, a
long, grinding day of toll they de-
serve all the trouble which Commu-
mist organizers have made for them.
1t is extremely minded for
conservative opinion in the North
to extend any sympathy whatsoever
to the mill owners.
Sound conservative common sense
must inevitably be on the side of
the Reds. Even if mercy is ruled out
of consideration, elf-interest should
put us of the middle class against
the exploiters.
AS a member of the burgeois, I
particularly have no desire to see
Reds in the saddle in American gov
eminent or industry. The middle
class always gets swatch the hard
est in any revolution.
Feeling as I do, there Is every
reason why I should have contempt
for the cupidity of the mill owners

CTEP up and meet Psi cts pro-
~ nounced to rhyme with pie.) If
you plan to pay much attention to
the newest scientific discoveries dur
ing the next year or two, the
chances are that you will run across
Psi frequently.
Psi originally was a member Of the
Greek alphabet and it forms part
of the name of a number of Greek
letter fraternities.
But mathematician make use of
the Greek letters as we'll as fra
ternities. There's Pi, for example
the Greek letter 'p," which is the
mathematical symbol for 3.1416, the
ratio between the circumference and
diameter of a circle.
And now a mathematical physi-
cist has immortalized Psi.
Psi, you will be interested to know,
is the smallest thing in the universe.
In the nineteenth century, it was
believed that the atom was the
smallest thing in the universe. In
fact, that belief is signified in the
name, atom, which comes from two
Greek words, meaning mot cutable."
Then the epoch-making discov-
cries at the end of the nineteenth
and beginning of the twentieth CEN
tury, by Roentgen, Becquerel, Curie,
Thompson, Lorentz, Rutherford,
Millikan and others ended the reign
of the atom.
1t became apparent that the atoms

Of still smaller units.
These were named electrons.
