Each one is equipped with pipe lines to convert inflating gas, gasoline and oil and water from tanks below to the ships. An airship intending to moor at the towers will send a wireless message ahead announcing its coming. A cable slung from the tower head to the ground will then be manned and a second cable dropped by the airship and weighted with Editor sandbags attached. Then a winch can draw the|. airship down and it can be moored to a swivel turret on the top of the tower. This swivel will permit the big ship to turn with the wind. The towers are to be equipped with elevators for the conveyance of passengers: Flexible gang- ways will connect the dirigible with an anteroom in the tower. The advantage of the new towers include the ———=_=_—=—= year, food prices usually do drop. Some people are saying that they ought to drop more than six- tenths of one per cent. They are unkind enough to point out that while the February food cost figure is six-tenths of one per cent less, than in January, the figure was up 2.2 per cent higher than. December, and that hence the decrease in February still leaves the cost 1.6 per cent above that in December, which until January had been the highest point reaehed since 1913. It is true also that the February, 1920, figure shows an increase of 16. per cent as compared with February, 1919. And as compared with 1913, the February prices show an increase of 105 per cent. Nevertheless, six-tenths of one per dent is something, and if the price curve should continue to go down at that rate every month from now on, it would only take 14 years and seven months to get back to the price level of 1913! EDITORIAL REVIEW tt at tt tt et tent Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. They are pre- sented here jn order .hat our readers’ may have both sides of im paporten eds issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. WE HAVE LAW ENOUGH; ENFORCE IT The legislative committee which has investi- gated revolutionary enterprises in- New York state reports that new laws are ‘not. needed for the punishment of revolutionists. What is needed, the committee finds, is intel- ligent enforcement of existing statutes. Years ago the legislaturd enacted laws to pun- ish men and women who would overturn the gov- ernment by violence. Conspiracy to rob; con- spiracy to tommit arson, conspiracy to ' cause public disorder, conspiracy to murder, all were crimes before Bolsheviki became familiar to daily conversation. The ‘state statutes defining crim- inal anarchy and providing penalties for criminal anarchists are nearly 20 years old. / the earth, SHE IS JOY Corpulent women are truly the “fat of the land.” Macklyn Arbuckle, an actor, made famous “nobody loves a fat man.” ‘But they do. And more than ever does everybody love a fat woman. She is joy, and laughter, and cheerfulness and optimism all rolled up into a mountainous mass of happily undulating flesh. One of them had recently. attended a movie comic in which “Fatty” Arbuckle portrayed the part of a fireman. No doubt she erijjoyed the show. And it was better than a movie treat’ to hear her describe the fun dfter she reached home. She hoo-hoded’ and ha-hahed, and bent and{ twisted and’ shook with unconfined mirth, her chair the meanwhile creaking as if.ready ‘to give ‘up the ghost because,of the weight thrust upon it. Perspiration rolled down her Pace! Her joy and her laughter was contagious. Why, the first thing that was known the whole audience at her house was visualizing ‘what the fat’ woman ‘saw at the picture show, and with her,.was Jaughing until it was holding its ‘sides. A fat woman is always the life of the, party. As good as gold, as solid'as Gibraltar, as joyous as Peter Pan, she sure enjoys life. MIRROR GAZERS 1 The frame you buy for a photograph should: not be so wide or ornate that it will distract attention from the photograph itself. That goes for any other picture, such a a painting. The principle is well understood. But there is one frame which cannot be too wide or ornate. No matter how elaborate or striking the design, it will.not distract attention from what is seen within it. That is the frame of a mirror! In this respect no difference between’ a mirror ” for a young man or a young woman is recognized. The notion that vanity is a trait of women more than of men has been generally abandoned. If women give more attention to their ‘appear- ance, it is because théy are more critic: They look in the mirror less to admire themselves than to search fot some suspected flaw and correct it. A man may spend little time in front of his mirror. But that does not indicate that he'is not vain. It may’mean only that he is so well satis- fied with his appearance that he recognizes ho need to improve it. That’s one of the things which “every: woman knows.” Any man finds his ‘reflection in‘ the mirror more interesting to him than the work of any artist. A poet once said, “The proper study of mankind is man. ” He might have added truth- fully that,~ “The favorite study of man is. him- self.” : GLORY BE! It’s coming down! Old' Hi Cost o’ Livin’ has been hit, a hard swat at last: The official figures just reported by the United ‘States government show that the average family expenditure for food was less in February than it was in January. To be exact; it was six-tenths of one per cent less. That isn’t much, it’s true. But small favors are thankfully received. A half- loaf: is better than no bread, and who will say that six-tenths of one per cent’‘of’ a loaf‘ is: not better than nothing? It’s true, of course, that-at-this season of the "|now. We have lacked law enforcers. We have had law enough. We have law enough Perhaps conditions at one time did not' necessitate such rigorous application of the statutes as has recent- ly become: advisable if not necessary. Of late the public has been , differentiating sharply between legitimate political agitation and the advocacy of violence under cloak of political agitation. While popular feeling remains as it now is we may look confidently for effective en- forcement. of the enactments to punish criminal anarchists. When the public grows ¢areless vigi- lance will be relaxed. Fortunately the public is|’ not likely to become careless while the need for Yigilance continues.. New York, Sun and Serald — /?— A MAN CONVICTED, A LAW INDICTED, Though Senator Newberry was convicted under the Corrupt Practices act, he was not, when the case came to the jury for its verdict, charged with any corrupt practices. All the charges of corruption in the campaign were eliminated. At the end he was charged with having, with others, raised and spent’ more money than the law al- lows. It was spent for legitimate campaign ex- penses, such as advertising, publicity, transpor- tation, etc.; but the fact that there was no brib- ery or vote-getting involved does not affect the | fact that the law permitted. only the expenditure of a certain sum for these legitimate and even innocent purposes, and that Newberry and the others, in flat defiance of the law, spent far more than that: sum. . Senator Newberry knew the law and violated it with his eyes open. It was a gross offense for a United States senator to commit, even ac- ||cepting his plea that he believed the country in danger and thought it a patriotic duty to prevent the election of a pacifist to senate. Laws were broken more than once during the war and for that reason, but every one who broke them did ‘}so at his peril, and cannot fairly complain that the law has avenged itself in his particular case, even though it has singled him out for vengeance and let others go free. In convicting Senator Newberry and in giving him the maximum sentence the court at Grand Rapids has also indicted a law. That the raising of large sums of money for honest and legitimate campaign purposes has been a custom for years everybody knows. It is regrettable and deserves condemnation, not because there is any guilt or crime .in ‘it, but because it has been shown over and over again to be a foolish waste of money and because campaigns can be and have been conducted much better without it. Now it: is made a crime, but only a law-made crime. No participant in it feels any moral guilt or shame. No one loses :his standing or is shunned by: his associates for it. If it were morally wrong and a crime per se, most of our presidents would have had to go to Leavenworth. Crimes that are only such by statute never affect the . consciences either of the so-called criminals or, the people. The senate committee which is to inquire into the charges of corruption against Mr. Newberry will presumably take coghizance of the fact that all such charges were exploded in the course of the trial. There was a law which turned a uni- versal practice into a statutory crime, just as the law could make the bleaching of hair a crime, and Mr. Newberry knowingly violated it. It, was his duty as a citizen, and especially as a prospective legislator, to obey it, no matter how great he thought the emergency and no matter how silly he may have thought the law to be. That is the charge against him, and it-is serious S enough as it is. by York Times. f “CHURCH NOTES | CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY ~ Cor. 4th St. and Ave. C. Sunday service at 11:00 a. m.
