Be thou exalted, 0 God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.—Psalms 108:5. The Frozen-Faced Laugh IT is history that President Harding did try to settle the railroad strike and avert a threatened national calamity. It is history that he submitted to both sides terms of settlement which he believed to be fair. It is history that the railroad unions accepted the President’s peace terms and that the railroad executives turned them down. Now comes Attorney General Daugherty, searchlight in hand, to throw more light on history. He says the President believed he had assurances from both sides that his terms would be accepted. The remarks of the Attorney General, in applying to a Federal district judge at Chicago for a startling injunction against the railroad unions, are found in the Congressional Record of Sept. I—put there by Senator "Watson of Indiana. Attorney General Daugherty said to the court: “No man, officially or unofficially, in undertaking to bring about an adjustment which would prevent the necessity for this proceeding or possibly more severe action on the part of the Government, ever displayed a more marvelous patience, a more deep-seated interest or conscientious application to any task than was exhibited by the President of the United States. “The President at one time, after many conferences with the representatives of both sides, and when he hoped and BELIEVED HE HAD ASSURANCES FROM BOTH SIDES INVOLVED IN THE DISPUTE THxVT A CERTAIN PROPOSITION WOULD BE ACCEPTED, made the proposition to the executives of the railroads and the officers of the Federated Shop Crafts which was ultimately REJECTED IN PART BY THE RAILROADS.” Elsewhere in his remarks to the court Attorney General Daugherty said: “No labor leader or capitalistic leader, no organization or association of any kind or kinds or combination of the same will be permitted by the Government of the United States to laugh in the frozen faces of a famishing people without prompt prosecution and proper punishment.” It is history that the railroads precipitated this strike of shopmen. Its beginning was the closing down of railroad shops and letting the repair work to outside concerns. Railroad executives repeatedly ignored orders of the Railway Labor Board and gave that arm of the Government the frozen-faced laugh. The unions ignored one order—a drastic reduction in wages. And we have Mr. Daugherty’s own testimony to the fact that when the President, after numerous conferences and when he “believed he had assurances from both sides” that “a certain proposition” would he accepted, made that proposition, with the net result that the unions accepted it and the railroad executives rejected it and gave the President the frozen-faced laugh. It is history that the Attorney General kept hands off and let the coal operators go to a finish with the coal miners—and that the finish-was a trip to Cleveland by both operators and miners, where they settled their differences—and the coal-consuming public will get the frozen-faced laugh all winter. In conclusion, Attorney General Daugherty, who told the court that “the Government lays its hand on rich and poor alike,” proves it by going after the railroad unions with an injunction bludgeon while the railroad executives smile sweetly on the Attorney General and give everybody else what they gave the President—the frozen-faced laugh. Casting That First Stone THE city of Lille has just unveiled a statue by one of France’s great sculptors, dedicated to unmarried mothers. Carved below the girlish figure tightly embracing an infant is this inscription: “Who has not sinned among ye, let him cast the first stone.” The Man who first uttered those words knew humanity. He knew its weaknesses so surely that even after 1900 years the stones drop from suddenly unnerved fingers when that meaningful quotation is repeated. For the same reason you probably will not find smug Americans—or your snug American newspapers either—criticising very! seriously the sentiment that built the monument at Lille. Impeachable Offenses? THE general strike committee of the Eastern railroad shopmen has wired Senator Borah at Washington urging impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Daugherty and Federal Judge Wilkerson of Chicago. Impeachment was asked on the grounds that the strike injunction granted by Judge Wilkerson at the Attorney General’s request was in violation of the constitution. Under the caption “Impeachable Offenses?” the New York World has this to say editorially: The demand of the striking railroad shopmen for the impeachment of Attorney General Daugherty and Judge Wilkerson is not so ridiculous as some people may regard it. It is without question an impeachable offense for judicial and executive officers of the United States to proceed officially and with deliberation contrary to law, as was established in the impeachment and conviction of United States Judge Pickering of New Hampshire in 1803. And when Mr. Daugherty sought and Judge Wilkerson granted an Injunction restraining strikers “in any manner whatsoever,” no matter how peaceful, from “persuading” or “encouraging” men to leave the employment of the railroads or to keep away from them, they were not only proceeding against the plain provisions of Section 20 of the Clayton act, but they were, as charged by this strike committee, invading the constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and of press and of peaceable assemblage. When the Attorney General In open court declared a purpose to use the power of the United States Government to prevent the unions from “destroying the open shop” he was declaring a purpose to usurp the legislative power of that Government and make laws and create crimes on his own motion exclusively. Compared with such talk and such action on the part of Mr. Daugherty and Judge Wilkerson, the charges on which President Andrew Johnson was impeached were trivial. The charges on which Justice Samuel Chase of the United States Supreme Court was impeached were trivial. The charges back of the impeachment of United States District Judge James H. Peck were trivial. The case against President Johnson was, by and large, merely one of partisan rancor and malice. The offendings in the other cases mentioned rested at best on technical irregularities. But in this case we have high and judicial executive officials of the United States acting not only to set aside the plain provisions of an act of Congress but the protection of the fundamental law of the Nation.

BRAZIL PRESENTS 818 EXPOSITION OFKEBPRODUCTS Largest Display Ever Held South of Equator Opens With Formalities. By United Press RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. B.—The Brazilian Centennial Exposition, said to be the greatest exposition ever held south of the .Equator, opened yesterday with formal ceremonies. Participating in the ceremonies were the president of the republic, Dr. Epitacis Pessoa; the municipal prefect. Dr. Carlos Sampaio; Secretary of State, Charles E. Hughes, of the United States; various commissioners of foreign nations and leading Brazilian senators and deputies. Although the exposition grounds were not yet completed, many foreign visitors were present to attend the formal opening. Three quarters of a million was the estimated opening attendance. According to present indications, the exposition really will not yet get under way for month or two,' although work is being rushed night and day to put the final touches to the grounds, buildings and exhibits. Most Elaborate Building The building of the United States, one of the most elaborate on the exposition grounds, will not be ready before October or November. Construction of the Italian and Portuguese buildings also is slow and these buildings probably will not be ready before the first of the year. The exposition grounds, however, have been whipped into shape with great speed during the last month and tonight will be a mass of light and color. The grounds proper lie at the end of the Aveniada Rio Branco, with the main entrance on the Avenikoa beside the Monroe Palace —the old ouildign of the Chamber of Deputies, which has been converted into a part of the exposition.

UNUSUAL FOLK By NEA Ben'ice OMAHA, Neb., Sept.

American output of artificial silk, mostly from the cellulose of wood pulp, now exceeds 15,000,000 pounds a year. It is a good product, wears like iron, if properly made. The marvelous little invention, by which a machine duplicates the delicate work of the silkworm, may upset the whole economic system of Japan before many years. Everything in life is changing constantly these days. READING Soldiers In training carnps “wore' out" 7,000,000 books, says Carl H. Milam, secretary of American Library Association. He thinks that the habit of reading was greatly increased by he war, serious books as well as fiction. This might explain the big sale of works like Wells’ “Outline of History,” which would have been a lit-tle-used headache volume before the war. Possibility exists that ours is the last big generation for writers. The movie may displace the magazine and novel, especially when movies are broadcasted by wireless.

AIRMEN WILL ASK NEW LAWS AT NATIONAL AERO CONGRESS

By NEA Service DETROIT, Sept. B.—" Make America First in the Air.” Federal legislation toward this end will be asked at the second National Aero Congress at Detroit, Oct. 12-14. In connection with the meeting the national air race for the Pulitzer trophy will be held. The Curtiss race will be held here Oct. 7, just preceding opening of the congress. The United States, officials declare. Is without air laws which would safeguard aviation, aid commercial flying and develop aerial transportation. This will be the fault which the airmen will attempt to remedy. At present, any aviator can navigate any sort of craft, whether airworthy or not, as long as he can get it off the ground. An attempt will be made at the conference to keep this class of airpjane, which is held the greatest menace to the development of flying, out of the air. Ninety per cent of accidents, it is said, are due to unairworthy machines. Is Potential Outlaw The Wadsworth bill, now in the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, will be urged for passage. It is said this bill will provide many of the necessary air laws favored by the conference. Meanwhile the aviator is a potential outlaw. If he damages property in a forced landing, ifijures a passenger, tears up any one’s front yard, he can be prosecuted under common law, and there is no aerial law or prerogative to protect him. Airmen, as a result, desire wise and strict laws to protect the public, their foolish and erring brothers, and themselves. American planes may not fly over Canada as the result of lack of Inspection and registration. This drawback to inter-country flying will be set aside if the convention Is successful in securing Federal control of civilian flying. Army and Navy fliers are an exception to the Canadian rule, since the Canadian air board has ruled that their record proves rigid training and general efficiency. Will Hold Races Development in commercial flying will be taken up at the congress. A bureau of civil aeronautics will be favored. Aerial transport services last j year carried more than 150,000 pounds j of parcel freight and 250,000 passen- j gers. In connection with the congress, a j national overland race is scheduled, j Pilots from the Army. Navy and civilian life will take part. The Navy j has entered eleven seaplanes. The Pulitzer trophy race is over a 1 triangular course of 160 miles. The national races are expected to ! bring out, under strenuous flying conditions, qualities of more than forty recently developed airplanes.

Political Parties Engage Best Orators to Blaze Trail for Maine Elections

By LEO R. SACK. I WASHINGTON. Sept. B.—Politicians here havo their optics peeled on ; Maine. On Sept. 11 that outpost of j these United States will hold t. “run- ' ner-up” election to select one United States Senator, four Congressmen and a State ticket, said election to be the i “straw in tho wind” which will show the way the Big Wind will blow in November. Normally, Maine is overyhelmingly i Republican. The Old Guard, therefore. must continue this ratio to get complete satisfaction, whereas the Democrats will be supremely happy if they can pull down the Republican majority, even if they fall to elect anybody. With all this in mind, politicians are subjecting the voters of Maine to a flood of florid oratory. The most effective spellbinders in each party are on the job. In addition voters are' receiving tons of campaign material, speeches, reviews, articles, etc., now being turned out by the Government Printing Office for both parties—all of which. Incidentally. is being j “franked” through the mails at your expense, at no cost to the politicians.! Vice President Coolidge began the j fireworks with a glowing eulogy of j the Republican Congress. Senators I Willis of Ohio, Moses of New Damp shire, Jones of Washington, Pepper | of Pennsylvania, Edge of New Jersey, j Harreid of Oklahoma, Lcnroot of Wis j consin, and Watson of Indiana, as j well as scores of Republican Congress- j men are helping sound G.

STUDENT Praises Spirit of Recent Articles On Labor Question. To the Editor of The Times I believe the time has come when every one, whether involved direitly or indirectly in the Issues, should express himself on the present industrial situation. I wish to compliment The Times on its recent editorials for they express my own sentiments exactly. The attempt to break the labor unions with the moral as well as the active support of the Government Is regrettable In our supposedly free America for it is nothing less than an attempt to take a large measure of personal liberty and freedom from a majority of our population. This cannot be permitted to happen. If the farmer knows where his Interest lies he will lend his support to the unions, for with organized labor to the wall, all these powerful forces can be concentrated against the farmer to prevent his organization and self-protection. The interests opposed to the one are practically the same as the interests opposed to the other. People usually join hands when a common enemy opposes. I am neither union man or farmer, but a student and teacher preparing to take graduate work this year. C. S. LINTON, Cicero, Ind. To the Editor of The Times In the Wednesday evening Times I read the letter of a man who was bawled out by an Indianapolis traffic officer. In contrast —Wednesday evening I violated traffic rules by attempting to cross Washington St. at Delaware, when the traffic sign read, “Stop.” The officer on duty halted me In a kind courteous manner and I, in attempting to back up, killed my engine. I held up both northbound and south-bound traffic, but the officer left his station and assisted me to push my car around the corner out of the way. I was wrong and he was right, but the kind way he used will make me more careful in the future. This officer was on duty at Delaware and Washington Sts. at 8 o’clock Wednesday evening and I wish to thank him. His manner of duty will offset the complaint of the other one cited and such men as this officer I write of should be respected and promoted by the board of safety and Mayor ShankP. A. M. Ft.
