The PASSING PROCESSION

By VOLTA TOR RE Y.

NEWS of the WEEK Boiled Down

A man was nailed to a cross by conservative executioners in the name of law and order about 1900 years ago, and he said: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” # In Massachusetts Tuesday night

an Italian sat down in an electric chair, saying: am an innocent man. I wish to forgive some people for what they are Jtoing to me.” Perhaps it Is wrong to link the founder of*& great religion with one wl:r boasted of atheism. But both were radic-wls, outcasts from respected society, penniless criers in the market place. Both died at the hand of tha State. Both were loved by ragged thousands whom the hand of the pottery did not make into smooth Rotarians. And the last words which each spoke were the same. Vanzetti, the fish peddler, and Sacco, the shoemaker, died nobly regardless of how they lived.

Not since Woodrow Wilson died has the snuffing out of a life in America caused such a stir around the world. Whether these two men were murderers or victims of our political intolerance, they blackened the name ot the nation which killed them. But the bombing and rioting which has been reported from nearly every city of international importance will not alter the facts. It will only cause needless loss and suffering. And in a sense, the death march in Boston Sunday will be a test of American liberals. There will be no religious rites, but the bodies of the two men will be born through the streets by comrades in a silent protest. If such a demonstration is staged peacefully, the radicals will have oroven themselves more capable of self-control, than the conservatives who, in the enthusiasm of red hunting, committed the shameful mistake of letting politics and a murder trial get mixed. France is perhaps the most excited nation. The radical press of Paris talks of reprisals from the ranks of American Legion members at the convention next month. If the Legion (an turn such foes into friends by its conduct in Paris, it will have won a victory for America jgecond only to that of the World '(Var.

FLYING ON AND ON

The week is past and not a trace has bepn found of Miss Mildred Doran or the other six fliers who vanished in the Pacific. A most painstaking search has been made by the uavy. But Paul Redfern, undismayed, took off from Brunswick, Fla., for Brazil, a distance of some 4,600< miles. Calculating his average speed at 92 miles an hour, and including many “ifs” in their remarks, friends say he will reach Rio de Janeiro about 6.20 p m„ Indianapolis time, this (Saturday) evening. Llyod Bertaud, who hopes to *ly “Old Glory" from New York to Rome, was all set, and waiting only for the right wind to blow Friday evening. The Stinson monoplane. Pride of Detroit, already is on its way around the world, and E. F. Schlee, Detroit

oil man, is planning to start soon <>n a fifteen-day globe circling flight. Other aviators straining at the leash of bad weather and last minute preparations are Capt. Courtney, who wants to fly his seaplane from London across the Atlantic; two French and three German expeditions planning the westward hop across the Atlantic; and two Englishmen who hope to fly from Dublin to New York and later from New York to Vienna. In addition, Capt., Rene Fonck and Lt. L. W. Curtin are preparing a plane for a flight to Constantinople. Steps are being taken by the United States Department of Commerce to prevent fliers from taking off on sea flights without adequate preparation. It is thought that “clearance passage” can be denied planes which are judged unfit.

CHEN’S WAR IN CHINA

The too meagre reports from China Indicate that crucial battles are being fought between, the nationalists, or southern forces, . and the conservative northern army. Nanking and Hankow are in the war zone, and there is hard fighting along the Yangtze river. Meanwhile, Eugene Chen, statesman of the nationalists, is preparing to present a plea for Chinese equality before the League of Nations. Chen represents the faction which Americans calf “red,” but when looked into his demands appear very reasonable. What he wants more than anything else is equal foreign t:eaties and less imperialism from other powers having interests in China. He is a former British subject, born in the West Indies, and admitted to the bar in London. He does shave the Englishman’s horror of Russia, however, and work hand in hand with Michael Borodin, the Soviet advisor of the Nationalists. It was reported that Boridin had returned to Moscow, but news reports the past few days indicate that he .may be hiding somewhere in China. If Chen and his nationalist forces survive the reverses which have been encountered of late, their grip on China is likely to be pretty tight.

ANOTHER EQUALITY FIGHT

Another fight for equality iji the international arena was staged at the press conference in Geneva. Led by the United Press, independent news agencies succeeded in putting through a resolution which dealt a death blow to pernicious practices of European governmental agencies Secret diplomacy in news distribr.-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ticri—closing the door to some and opening it to other press representatives—is as destructive as secret diplomacy in government council chambers in an era of democracy. The victory of the United Press deserves more than passing mention. The fatal shooting-of Miss Florence Anderson of Los Tngeles by bandits in Mexico was another international incident which caused a stir this week. Several hundred armed men participated in the attack on the train in which Miss Anderson, with a party of teachers and students, was returning from the National University summer session in Mexico City. Firm demands hav-' been made by American authorities that Mexico do everything possible to catch and -yimish the culprits. Mayor Jimmy Walker of York, is having an exciting tour of Europe. He greeted hisses of SaccoVanzetti sympathizers with “Hello boy!” and began his address to Americans in Berlin with the words: “Fellow refugees from the Eighteenth Amendment.” * Charges in some Panama ( amd league of Nations circles that the new treaty between the United States and Panama viblates the latter’s obligations to Jhe league are denied by the State Department. The disputed treaty would bring Panama into any war fought by the United States as an ally.

THERE’S DRINKING TONIGHT

More astounding evidence of the failure to enforce prohibition was disclosed this week in connection with anew dry shake-up It is necessary to get rid of the drinkers in the dry department, says the federal czar. He is to discuss this matter with the Seattle administrator Sept. 1. Complaints have been especially bad from the west coast. And a review of the department's history indicates that this is no new development. Dismissal of twentyfour sleuths in New York this week, raised the total nuipber ousted from the federal force to 996. Since August. 1925, there have been thirty charges in zone administrators. But the new alcohol formula which has been used since April 1, represents some progress—if you want to call it that. Not a single instance of "cracking” the new denaturant formula has been reported, says Prohibition Commissioner Doran. Pharmacists made a score for the wets, however, when they rapped prohibition and advocated its repeal at their convention in St. Louis. “A physician in trying to save human life should not be handicapped by restrictions put on the statute books by laymen,” one leading pharmacist declared. The W. C. T. U. convention opened in Minneapolis, with 5,000 reported in attendance.

BIG NAMES IN THE NEWS

The Chaplin divorce trial passed peacefully. The comedian spent two million, it is estimated, but the threatened scandal was averted. His wife obtained a fortune and custody of the two children. John Coolidge probably was annoyed by the news report this week telling that he danced with two waitresses in Wyoming while his mother watched, and that he is

writing a letter every day to a girl back east. His father, the President, has been busy fishing and seeing the wonders of Yellowstone park. The will of the late Elbert F. Gary, former chairman of Unitea States Steel coproration, was filed for probate. It contained no estimate of the value of the estate. Specific bequest;, amounting to more than $2,000,000 were made. Harry Thaw, in the shirt of a volunteer fireman, attended the Virginia State Firemen’s convention at Alexandria. Billy Sunday has offered to invade Des Moines, the lowa stronghold of Aimee McPherson’s “Four Square” gospel, if the ministers of the city will help him.

ANOTHER MURDER DRAMA

It is possible that Streator, 111., will be the scene of a .murder case soon which will take its place in history along side the Snyder-Gray, Hall - Mills and Leopold - Loeb classics. Mrs. Eliza Hill, wife of a Streator (111.) doctor, was found dead, buried under debr*' in the basement of her home. Her son disappeared. He is known to have had gambling debts, and it is alleged that his mother refused him money to pay them. Adding these facts to other clews, detectives believe that the young man shot his mother in the back while she was preparing a lunch for him. and then buried the body in the basement. The father of the boy, asserting that he does not want to put a rope around his son’s neck, refuses to assist the officers. Neighbors and others have been questioned, and a circumstantial chain of evidence is being put together which may prove just mysterious enough and just convincing enough to turn the case into the next big murder drama for an avid American public. Os course, it may end before the climax is worked up properly.

HOOVER GROUP ARMING

President Coolidge has offered no further explanation of the statement that he does not choose to run in 1928, but it is significant that many members of the Coolidge crowd are lining up behind Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Dr. Hubert work, secretary of the Interior, is scheduled to head the Hoover campaign organization when it is formally put into the field. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, who probably will be Pennsylvania's favorite son. is friendly to Hoover. Chairman Butler of the Republican National Committee is reported favorable. Secretary of Agriculture Jardine is also on the Hoover side of the fence. Postmaster General New has made no commitments to any candidate. An attempt will be made to capitalize Coolidge's strength for Hoover by stressing his 100 per cent loyalty to the President.
