policy. The old law required the con-
sent Of the governor and several of
the executives, including Governor
Max Gardner, plainly refused to sane
ton it. Recently it was found out that
there had been a number of whip
pings. That moved the commission
to make ruling and the whip is in
the rules.
While the governor does not have
power of veto over the acts of his
commission, it is almost universally
believed in Raleigh that he would be
opposed to whipping prisoners. The
style is entirely out of character for
him, his friends point out. The lash
harmonizes queerly with his gentle
ness, it is further said. He speaks
softly, in the language of the late
Theodore Roosevelt, but he never car
ried the Big Stick because he did not
like the idea of putting the coarseness
of the timber into the timbre of his
voice.
While the agitation goes on, Wake
superior court is under the direction
of Judge N. A.. Sinclair who has op-
posed all his life whipping of prison
ers as both unlawful and barbarous
Judge Sinclair has the distinction OF
having pronounced the longest sen
tence ever given a prisoner in the
State for beating prisoners. Once he
sent pair of convict guards in Edge
combe to the States prison for &c
versy. He commends the persons who
are objecting to the whip in prison
discipline and expressing the belief
that public sentiment can drive the
lash out.

At the age of seventeen he began

We Missed Our Chance
Cincinnati Enouirer)

tCmcmnatl Enqulrer)
 For generation after generation, in times of trouble and turmoil the American people have been comfored by the thought that if the worst came the worst the country could be given back to the Indians Behind the thought, of course was the hope that the Indians might make better job of running the country
 We have apparently, waited too long to make the transfer It that the Indians have caught up with Giving the country back to them offers now means of escape from the more abundant life theory for they have adopted the more abundant life principle themselves Nor could it spare us from Sit down strikes for the Indians have learned to sit down too.
 The Yakima tribe of Washington illustrates how modern American systems have been taken over by the Indians. For time the accepted wage scale for Indians used for local color and exhibition pur- poses pioneer days celebrations has been $150 per day And the town of Yakima, Wash. budgeted for the hiring of the Yakima tribe members at that figure in planning a Fourth of July celebration. The devel- opments which followed were in typical modern Ameri- can style. The Yakima Indians announced that unless they received $2 a day wages free hamburger three times day free tobacco and percentage of souvenir postcard sales they would stage sit-down strike
 The moral of the situation is obvious We missed our chance to give the country back to the Indians before the New Deal and the Committee For Industrial Organization came into being. If offered it to them now they'd probably want trainload Of ham, burger to boot.

THE EARHART FLIGHT

Eyes of the world are centered today in the South Pacific, somewhere off Rowland Island as the search goes for the missing Amelia Earhart plane Momentarily word may that the daring aviatriX and her navigator have been found. Also, no word may ever come from them again Such is the chance that such a venture holds
 Not since Mildred Doran the flying school teacher lost in the Pacific the historic Dole flight has so much controversy arisen around flier The parallel however is hardly right for Miss Doran was a flying passenger while Miss Earhart is pilot in her own right, and good one.
 The major argument then, now that nothing was to be gained by such flight. But the fact remains that the route on which the Doran plane lost planes today travel regular schedule carrying passengers safely from the mainland to the Islands. In fact Clipper ships establishing air routes the region where the Earhart plane is reported down.
 It is doubt true that aviation would have forged ahead just the if Miss Doran had stayed home with her school work, Miss Earhart had stuck to routine private flights at home for her own amusement But it also follows that if all the aerial pioneers had stayed on the ground would still he getting along without aviation.
 Perhaps Miss Earhart is adding anything to the progress of aviation by such a flight she has undertaken but it is hard to believe that all flights of such do add something to the march that civilization Is making in the ar. We are mclned to the theory that sacrifices must be made in all pro- gress. It is the history of advancement over the centuries If Miss Earhart and other aerial pioneers like her want to out into the unknown in the name of aviation it is their right and privilege The execution of such rights by the Early Birds by Lndy by Coste, by Byrd and countless others has made it possible for the rest of landocked humans to step into luxurious air liners and get from here to there in short time.
 And today, everywhere the cry is for air. planes, and better landing fields more aids to aerial navigation We want aviation advancement. We cheer when the pilots make phenomenal flights. But when they disappear many have done in the of aerial science look with skepticism, and figure out lot of arguments why they appeared to be foolhardy.
