Red and reformed criminal pro- cedure if the methods employed for the detection and apprehen- sion of criminals is of the stage coach era, directed agInst crimi- nals who make use of high power automobied; if the offlies of pub- li prosecutors are b&ly organ- ice and subJ.t to sinster p6ll- teal inihience; if we continnAlly pass l1;ws without reference to the essential administrative diffi- culties in their successful en- forcement." - Justice Harland Fiske Stone of the United States Supreme Court. THE LEGION MEETS Veterans of the World war, attend- ing the convention of the American Legion at Omaha, are preparing to enter the lists in the national air- craft tournament which Colonel Wil- liam Mltichell set iI motion a month ago when he launched his sensational charges against army and navy offi- cials, and which have since held the center of interest in military and con- gressional circles. The Legion will throw its weight on one side of the battle or the other -the feeling of the men who will carry the fight to the floor of the con- vention is too strong to allow half- way measures. Just what effect this weight will have on the scales of justice which are being - cted 'by the President's investig N ommit- tee at Washington is a -ion, but Legion officials believe' it -ill have a great influence on the final decision. The Legion is composed of military men, many of whom were in the aviation service during the World war and afterward;, and they are probably as- well informed .on the is- sues in question as any other body of men, except, perhaps, the investigat- ing committee which has been listen- ing to heated accusations and denials for the past few weeks at Washing- ton. Colonel Mitchell will not appear in person on the convention' floor, but his messeage will be read and his aides are ready to launch a vigorous campaign that they hope will bring a hearty endorsement of the colonel's plans for a separate air service de- partment from the convention. The battle over Mitchell is the, issue which the delegates are planning 'ver- met, which will promptly become the scene of a verbalvolcano, if the the colonel is in form. The air board, having survived a few days spent on Mitchell, will now begin in the task of getting opinions from naval air officers. Army officers advocate the creation of a separate air corps in the army; navy officers recommend a separater air corps for the navy; Colonel Mit- chell advocates the establishment of a department of national defense, combining both; the American Legion will advocate something, but nobody knows what as yet.-At least, theret is very little talk of leaving the entireI situation as it was before the Shen- s andoah disaster and the ill-fate'l Hawaii flight, which precipitated Col- onel Mitchell's charges and started the entire affair. Regardless of the Legion's decisiont and the final result as given in the formal court-martial which will start next week, it is certain that the air, defense of the United States will be improved.. Colonel Mitchell should be thanked for giving the entire situa- tion a national airing that has spread through San Francisco, Omaha, Wash- ington, and Lakehurst, New Jersey, and which will culminate 'in very definite action for the improvement of the air service, regradless of which of the proposed reforms is adopted. STEALING APPLES In the past we've had everything from Varsity football teams to Var - sity inns, but it remained for three ambitious students who are attempt- ing to work their way through school to give us-the Varsity barrel, bar- rels filled with apples, for which the purchaser was requested to deposit five cents. This is not an advertisement for the barrels, we are not financially or' otherwise interested in them (beyond the fact that they furnish a conveni- ent way for us to buy our favorite fruit in small quantities), but we find that they have made a distinct con- tribution to the campus from an ex- perimental standpoint. During the first three days of their existence, the proprietors are said to have lost more than $17. Instead of money to pay for apples worth that amount they found broken glass keys and metal slugs of every description,-evidence of the fact that the pseudo purchasers are afraid of the gaze of public opinion, but are cowardly and under- handed enough to steal such petty things as apples, worth five cents apiece. We don't want to preach, there's nothing we hate more, but it does seem wrong to educate people whose code of honor is as degraded as this, with education they may go in for bigger and better thefts. EDITORIAL COMMENT WORLD NEWS (The Boston Evening Transcript) Rumor is uncertain about the debt negotiations, the Security Agreement; meeting at Locarno may result in anything, the Mosul question is in a delicate condition, but we know at least that Mr. Jack Dempsey has signed a protocol by the terms of which he is to meet Mr. Harry Wills in September, 1926, at Michigan City, Indiana. It can thus be seen that while diplo- matists, soldiers and international financiers are fooling away their time, or, worse still, making insinuations about each other, these two silent, strong men have done what they could to still a world's fevered pulse. One item of vital importance at least is out of the doubtfiil index-Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Wills are to meet as one comet impinges on the are of an- other. It is to be, so we gather from des- patches, a meeting or tourney mark, ed by the absence of commercial con- sideration. Neither man has been guaranteed a cent; they will box on a percentage; Mr. Dempsey has post- ed a trifling $100,000 and Mr. Wills a negligible $50,000; these gentlemen will each receive a derisory $25,000 as preliminary expenses and we are glad to hear that it was paid them last night, as was proper for the sim- ple wants of true artists. This is most fitting, for if the percentages should be nothing, it will be seen that they would have had all that trouble and fatigue to no purpose, ex- cept some very healthful exercise. The actual signing of the protocol took place in an office over a drug store in Niles, Mich., where no doubt a commemorative plaque will be af- fixed. It is in these modest sur.. roundings and in this quiet way that a great historical event has taken place and let all congratulate them- selves that here at last is a definitei bit of world news. Needless to say all details in the lives of the two princi-, ... .. t= OASTEDROLL U S I C DUrMP 1RA C (HUMP DRAMA In a letter to the 'Ensian recently, TillYPSILXNTI P l E requesting that the names of local The Ypsilanti Players, who thou h ministers be included in the Student their efforts of the past ten seaoims directory this year, Rev.

It seems to be getting worse daily and no one is giving it the slightest attention.
