The tennis courts have been thor

rolled and sanded. Even now they are
in good shape and by the time the
season is on will be in wonderful con-

Cannon's Contempt

Bishop Cannon apparently thinks he is above the
law. That is dangerous alteration for any man 1t
is especially dangerous for politician who has been
in as many scrapes Cannon.
The fact that his activities just have been I'M
peached by a prominent group in his own church, and
that his position there is precarous does not concern
us What his church may think of his bucket shop
gambling or of his campaign deals, is matter en-
tirely between him and his church
But his political activities such are matter OF
public concern. AS citizen he has no less and no
more right than any other citizen. If he is caught
in shady politics he must pay the penalty.
His attempt before the senate lobby investigating
committee yesterday to the cry of personal per-
secution merely adds the count of cowardice to his
other ofenses.
He refused to testify to the committee on his ac-
tivties and use of funds in the anti-Smth movement
of the last presidential campaign That he used funds
of the Methodist Board of Prohibition and Social
Service of which he is chairman to launch the anti
smith AsheviIle conference was demonstrated by the
committee what he did with other campaign funds
not reported remains to be cleared up.
Giving Cannon the benefit of that charitable judg-
naent which he denies to all who disagree with his
own prohibition or theological dogmas it still is diff
cult to understand why trying to hide his tracks
The senate should treat him just as it would any
layman Cannon should be made to account for his
political financial deals he should be punished for
contempt.

The Stamford witch Hunt

What was perhaps the worst of the May day
atrocities in the United States took place in Stamford
Conn But for the activity Of the American Civil
Liberties Union in taking up the case and the EN-
cheney Of the New York Telegram in reporting the
news Of the trial. the police would have gotten away
with their brutaIties quite unnoticed
On May day the Stamford Communists held
meeting It is said that they failed to obtain per-
NIT from the mayor. This is required by an ordi-
nance which is clearly unconstitutional according to
several decisions of the Connecticut supreme court
Eleven men, woman and boy of II were ar
rested by the police Several of those arrested denied
afiliation with the Communists. After the arrests
were made, all the woman and the boy were
taken to the police station and severely beaten.
ley first were made to run the gantlet of two
rows of policemen, who took crack at them as they
passed Then they were taken upstairs individually
and subjected to a terrific punmelling Heads were
cut open, some we're knocked out, and all needed
the attention of a physician. The police chief was
present when the beatings went on
Fortunately for the accused, the American Civil
Liberties Union was informed of the situation by the
international Labor Defense committee The union
got busy at once 1t was able to enlist the services OF
Raymond Wise formerly assistant attorney general
of the New York district He argued the case before
Judge Justus j. Fennen at Stamford on May 49,
The Judge carefully excluded all evidence concern
ing the beating of the defendants by the police
Police Sergeant Paul Hayes declared on the stand
that "the whole Red gang ought to be in Jail"
Thanks t. the capable presentation of the case
by Wise the accused escaped the severe penalties
which otherwise surely would have been meted out
to them. Eleven were convicted. Nine were given
fines of from $40 to 500. TWO sent to jail for
sixty days.
It is significant that the two who got the jail
sentences we're not the men most active in the May
day meeting for which the arrests were made. They
we're the two men best known as Communist organ
izers in Stamford.
Perhaps the chief contribution to common sense
which the episode produced were the words OF Wise
in addressin, the court:
"If we have anything to fear from the Communist
movement in this country it is that the courts the
prosecutors, and the police are likely to help the
Communists by taking overzealous view of their
activities
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-06-04

proposed law would be INSTANTANEOUS, not merely
for the industry here represented, but for every in
dustry at large and the country whole" Those
reasons are:
a. 1t berays unjustiied fear Of foreign rivalry
and competition instead of thinking in terms of in
ternational trade and good will.
20. 1t will benefit a small minority at the expense
Of the large majority Of our citizens"
20. 1t will tend to create i'll will against abroad,
inviting and provoking resentment and reprisals at
time when every effort should be in the opposite
direction, that of international anity.
q. It viii retaliation the part of foreign
countries, thereby diminishing sales to these
foreign markets now so essential to the United States
with its enormous productive capacity.
IS. 1t carries to an extreme a protective theory,
restrictive of international trade, perhaps needed
when we were debtor nation, creating ard building
up industrial enterprises but longer tenabe,
that the worlds leading creditor nation
and possess the worlds strongest and most efficient
industrial structure
IS. 1t will not create new labor, but will tend
rather to cause more unemployment by reducing
exports.
~. 1t will increase the cost of living to the aver
age citizen, particularly the farmer and the average
wage Garner throughout the nation.
"8. 1t will not aid the farmer, as his problem is
not that of foreign competition in the domestic mar
ket but is the problem of the disposal of surplus crops
49, Under the already sufficiently high tariff law,
the majority of industries have shown enormous
forward strides in the last eight years, proving
higher and more protective tariff unnecessary"
All of which only is repeating what Ford, Sloan
of General Motors and dozens of other corporation
heads have said, what the 1923 economists said and
what Hoover himself saying a year ago.
There is no answer to these facts.
No answer, that is except to kill this vicious bill

When Jobs Make Jobs

The public and private organizations that are
planning on new construction work during the next
six months have it in their power to give the nation
a very strong boost on the climb back to prosperity.
Ofhand the increase in employment which these
projects can provide may not look very impressive.
The ultimate effects however, will be greater than
appears on the surface All departments of our
tional economic system tied in together close
y that you can not improve one without helping to
improve all.
Frances Perkins, commissioner of the New York
state department of labor, makes this clear in a
speech recently delivered at conference of welfare
agencies in New York City.
IF million put to work on public and
private construction projects, let's what would
happen" she remarks
Each man would, before very long, buy five pairs
of soX one pair of shoes one suit of clothes and three
shirts Just think what this would mean to the
clothing industry-orders for 100000 pairs of
100000 Shirts million suits of clothes and million
pairs of shoes.
And that is only beginning The families of
these men have been stntng for months doing
without things they have needed for nearly year.
AS fast as these million would be paid, they
would buy in addition to the essentials of food
and clothing for themselves and their families, furn-
ture radios and perhaps even automobiles. Their
children again would buy candy and ice cream"
That makes the proposition clearer. Let these
extra construction jobs start and the business
revival will get an immensely important stimulus. Not
only will more men be employed; the money that
they earn and spend will cause the employment OF
men in totally unrelated fields
1t seems odd, in way, that the sum total of ma
tional happiness should depend largely on whether
new highways are paved and new buildings are
erected but that is just the situation are in Con-
sidered as group our advance on the pathway to-
ward the better life is to be gagged in terms of so
many million pairs of sox and shoes.
There are moments when it appears that the new
science of industry-the of mass production, the
maintenance of high wage scales, the strange new
economy that calls for the elimination OF poverty as
matter Of self interest may bring us into an era
in human affairs incomparably more magnificent
than ANYTHING ever dreamed of before. That is why
the restoration of prosperity is so tremendously
important

REASON By Ff EzRBfs

WITH all these admirals and statesmen disagree
w ing as to what this London naval compact really
means the average citizen may be pardoned If he Is
unable TO figure it out.
This violent conflict is not limited to the United
States Japan's experts tossing the people OF their
country in a similar blanket of doubt
But while Japanese admiral felt so Inundated by
the results of the agreement that he committed har-
kari none of our sea dogs is likely c feel it so keeny
CPEAKING of Japan, Chairman Johnson of the
- house immigration committee should think sew
eral times before he favors letting Japanese imi-
grants into the United States on the same basis as
Europeans.
1t is an unfortunate situation, but no good can
come from revving the matter, for such proposition
is sure to be defeated in the senate not in the house
of representatives.
Since Japan naturally regards our exclusion of her
people blow at her national pride her demand at
the London conference for increased naval tonnage
probably TIE expression of determination to Sc
recognition of her national standing in another
way. -
In the next campaign those opponents of Presi-
dent Hoover who have accused him of having an Eng
lsh leaning, will not overlook the fact that he has
created the post of ceremonialS officer, the same re-
semblng the job OF lord chamberlain of the English
royal h -usehold.

The Tariff Bill Slips
contempt

Pretty soon it is going to be difficult to find any
one among the 100000 Americans who like the
billion dollar tariff bill. Day by day the protests grow
bigger and bigger That is not surprising, of course
considering that the threat of such law already
has contributed to q per cent fall in our export
trade and cut the national employment figure almost
as low as the January slump
Even before the the bill written many were
intelligent enough to foresee the danger and warn
the country against higher tariff debauch
Hoover was one of them In his campaign and
in his messages to congress he pledged himself against
a general tariff increase. Why he has been less Wig
orus in opposition to the bill as public resentment
has grown is a political mystery comparable to the
blindness which killed the Taft administration
But the lack of presidential leadership has not
stopped the public. Thousands of economists and
business leaders today are using the arguments
Hoover used year ago. and they getting results
So heavy has the barrage been that the
eressional advocates of the bill are beginning to
apologize for H. Admitting its deficiencies they fall
back on the absurd that the flexible provision
empowering the President on recommendation of
the tariff commission to change rates up to so per
cent-opens the way to improve it.
Apart from the fact that eight years experience
under the flexible provision of the existing law proves
that this system makes law and rates higher.
the Grundy bill is so bad that President changing
rates day and night could correct the thousand
odd evils in it.
The menace of this situation is beginning to
brighten senators who originally supported the BILL
The cases Of Dill of Washington and Copeland of New
York are enlightening. These two Democratic votes
are very important in the neck-and-neck poll Al
though both joined in the iogroling, and justified it
on the grounds of protecting industries OF their states

have accepted the view that amount Of local pro-
lection could compensate for the loss OF prosperity

CHAMBERLIN'S FLIGHT


June 4
AN June 4, 1927, Clarence Cham
~ berlin left New York for his
nonstop transatlantic flight tc
Germany in the monoplane Column
bia with Charles A. Levine, owner
of the plane, as passenger and as
sistant pilot.
Several hundred miles at sea the
f1iers encountered sleet and hal
through which they moved for
twelve hours. BY the time they
reached the English channel the
weather was so bad that they SUBJ
sequently lost their way over
Belgium ad Holland.
They succeeded again il finding
their way to Germany. Pursuing q
course which they believed was in
the direction of Berlin, the f1iers
brought the Columbia within a few
hundred feet of earth to pass a field
where farmhands we're at work
These laborers shouted to them
giving them the direction to Berlin
BY this time the gasoline was run
ming low and when, a few minutes
later, Chamberlin saw what ap-
peared to be a good landing field he
made a perfect descent at the out
skirts Of Eisleben, the town in which
Martin Luther was born.
The f1iers had traverSed 4,00C
miles and had remained in the air
forty-four hours. During the flight
Levine occasionally relieved Cham
be<lin, but neither obtained more
than a few moments sleep.

Use Care in Washing Ears

Sometimes it is desirable to add
salt to the water, using about four
teaspoonfuls of salt to sixteen
ounces of water. Such a solution
is nonirritating.
The physician may prescribe
various chemical substances which
have antiseptic or healing action, or
which may be used particularly to
dissolve foreign bodies.
To have the water of proper tenn
perature, it has been suggested that
the water be put into the bag at a
temperature of about ITO degrees F.
After this is cooled by the bag and
by running in the tube, the temper
allure will be between 104 degrees F,
and los degrees F. when it strikes
the ear. Anything warmer than
this is likely to be painful.
The head may be bent so that the
water will run in and out. How
ever, if there is much impacted wax,
more force may be used to loosen
it than is ordinarily necessary for
washing the ear canal.
In the case of Inflammation in the
ear canal, such washing three or
four times a day is exceedingly
helpful.

SCIENCE

Nobody Really Kmoacs, De-
spite the Wealth Of Argu-
ment, Whether a Canal
System EXISTS on Mars.
BY DAVID DIETZ :

At least once each year. some
N body gets his name in the
headlines by announcing plans for
communicating with the inhabitants
of Mars. All such plans, OF course,
assume that there are inhabitants
on the planet Mars.
Leaving aside for the present the
question Of whether radio waves
might penetrate the upper layers OF
the earth'S atmosphere and. cross
the vast stretch to Mars, let us look
at the question of life on Mars.
Talk of life on Mars gained its
great impetus with the claim that
canals existed on Mars. But two
questions remain to be settled con-
corning these canals.
They are, first, the question Of
their existence at all, aDCs serAs--5.
their nature, prorluea that they 10
exist. For even if Mars is covered
by a network of dark lines, it does
not follow, by any means, that they
necessarily are canals dug by hui
man beings.
The argument as to the existence
of the canals best can be summed
up as follows: Nobody really knows.
1t is extremely difficult to get q
good view of the planets surface
because of the haze in the earth's
atmosphere and because Of the mo-
ton or trembling of the air. AS a
result, it is only occasionally that
the fine detail can be observed.

Church SAYS Mo-

TT was Canon Chase who provided
Il the impulse behind the effort to
thwart Mrs. bennett in her en-
deavor to bring sex education to the
young.
In fairness 1 must admit that
Chase might argue in all his sin
certify that he opposed the leaf1et
because he felt that it would do
harm. A priest could say, as many
have, that the dissemination of
birth control information would
work misery.
All right, gentlemen of the cloth,
it, is your right to disagree with the
merit of any specific program Of
fered by any reformer. But you
must offer something in its place.
The church, I mean the entire
Christian church, is pledged not to
stand pat.
In the beginning it was empow-
cred to bring about on earth the
kingdom of God. Does ANYBODY
contend that this kingdom has ar
rived? Well, rectors, priests and
preachers, what have you done
about it? What are you going to
do?

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

In the same way the tube at
tached to the bag should be proper
ly cleansed before any attempt is
made to wash the ear. The hard
rubber tip of the tube should be
boiled or thoroughly cleaned in
alcohol.
The bag filed with water may be
hung on a nail at a height of about
six feet from the floor. If the per-
son to be treated is sitting on the
bed or in chair, this will give a
fall of water of about three feet,
which is sufficient pressure for the
purpose.
If more pressure is used, there
may be a sense of pain from the
force against the ear drum or the
inf1amed tissue.
If a syringe is used, it SHOULD be
held at an angle so that the water
will not strike directly at the ear
drum, but against the side wall Of
the tube leading to the ear drum.
In washing oUt the ear, plain
warm water may be used, and the
warmth should be tested by dipping
the elbow into the water. If it is
too warm for the elbow, it is too
warm for the ear.

Tricks

IT will be seen, therefore, that
L many astronomers regard the
Marian canals as tricks of the
brain and the eye, a mass of I'M
related detail which the brain puts
together into straight lines.
But ever those astronomers who
think there are straight lines on
the planet do not agree entirely as
to their nature. While some think
they are canals, others think they
are merely some geological phe-
nomenon, cracks in the surface of
the planet, for example
Aside from the canals, however,
there is some evidence that Mars
may support life.
The dark areas change color with
the seasons and the polar caps grow
smaller as the Marian weather be-
comes warmer.
1t is highly probable that the polar
caps are ice which nlelts as the
weather grows warmer.
There also is definite evidence
that the planet has an atmosphere
and that the atmosphere contains
water vapor.
Measurements with the thermo-
couple, a delicate electrical Their
mometer, indicate fairly good tenn
perature on Mars. The night tenn
peratures are cold, falling to zero
even at the equator. On the other
hand, equatorial temperatures of
100 degrees are not uncommon.
DR.. Russell writes, 'The attribu-
tiea of the present seasonal changes
to vegetation appears, therefore, to
he decidedly the most reasonable
hypothesis"
The chief difficulty in the way Of
such hypothesis is the low night
temperatures, temperatures below
the freezing point of water.
Whether there is animal life on
Mars is a question which no one is
prepared to answer.
