uussoLiyi A Berlin newspaper very truthfully 'cava that "even loincare' Tfefer adopted such a tone as that of Mos aolinl. and says further, and, we think, with equal that Mus solini's megalomania is erldently Kreater than all political considera Uoas. Mee aJomania la. or won becomes the vice of all dictators. The Immediate Issues hetween iiaiy on thit one side, and Germany and Aua trla on the other, are Ieaa Important than the attitude and laoftTuage the despot of Italy.

Bucn man are often useful, and aomatlmea neeea aary In the orderlns; of the domestic aifajrs of a people, but they are almost alwsys nuisances ana men mi when they attempt to deal with foreirn affairs. This very nan aoma time: atro ordered the bora 1 oarameni oi win. rars snd backed down later, and paid damages to Greece under aura' of the lea true of natlona and i the council of ambassadors. Now wo have him pronouncing; what mlrht easily be conatrued as i a I declaration war on flennany. threatenlnr her with invaaion, and i deelarina; that "aomeUmes it la necessary to pay with two eyes for the loss of one, and with a set of teeth for loss of one tooth." The man haa recently been talk tng of revlvlnr, the old Roman sys tem and spirit' and reminding; the people of Italy that they, as Romans, were once masters of the Admittedly his model Is either Cetsar Napoleon he would find It hard to choose between them.

Borne was a and mighty war making; power. Caesar was a conqueror, and Napoleon was always a menaoe to every nation In Europe. And now we have Mussolini, another Uetator, whose political ereed'is Imperialism, whesa idols ars Caaar and Napoleon, who would Italy, as a new Rome, mistreae of the world. Whether the In the Tyrol, recently acquired by Italy were or were not permitted to have municipal Chrlstmaa trees: whether, and to what extent. Germane In the Tyrol have been miatreated, are interesting; But vthe really important thing la that the world new has to do with a man who la seifcoafeasediy'aa Imperialist of aa sitreme type, with ambitions for his country that could not be realised except at great peril tothe whole of urope.

and that, of yourse, "never will be realised. Ills malady is clearly meralo mania, the disease from which despots and dictators have always ufferad. Louia XXV looked on the lun aa a pale reflection, of himself. Caar was deified. Napoleon was regarded almost as rod, and for years after his death there were people who firmly believed that he was tl II alive.

With this old malady, and In aggravated form, the Italian despot la afflicted. After 'his experience In connection 'with the Corfu affair. It Is not likely that there will be any Invasion, of Germany. Thte man must Declassed with those. who "speak great swell Ing words of vanity" IXDAXA'S MQUS'DS The hope that Indiana's mounda may be systematically explored by experts was considerably braced by the Interest of the cltlsens who.

met at the call of Dr. D. Coleman, director of the etate historical bureau, to diecesa ways and mease. Some of the Indiana mounda have been dug Into In. a spirit of casual Investigation, uaually by persona who lacked the training and resources to make proper use of their finds.

They rep reseat an attitude, which, however, la quite general. Some of Indiana a mounda have been, made the center of picnic grouSda or amusement parks' which attract many visitors, and It Is probable that moat of tha visitors wonder what la In tha mounda. why they were built, and what they reveal of the tnhabltanta ef this part of the country before tae white settlers came, or perhapi be for the" time of the Indiana who were here at the time of the white occupation. Certainly there is a atrong demand among; archaeologists and anthropologists for exploration of tha mounda tinder proper ausr icea. Excavationa made In Ohio mounds last year led to the deduction that the Implements and ornaments unearthed were the.

work of ilayas. If this is true, the mounds were probably as much a mystery to the American Indians. with whose lore the early settlers became familiar as to the present generation of Inhabitants. The mounda may contain evidence that will considerably alter he early history of life on this continent. Exploring; the Indiana mounds la all the more Important because the belief that they may contain material which, will strengthen; the theories suggested by finds In tha Ohio mounds.

If tha explorations ara properly mad by sifting tha gTound. chart loir tha position of aach material aa la found, sad restoring the around to Its orlsinal condition, tha mounda will loaa nooi' of thctr Iraportanea aa azamplaa of tha handiwork of carlr Inhabitants. If tha suiround Ins afeaa could act as(da aa pub He rarvatlona, and tha reeoTarod archaeological apetmn displayed In a muaeum aite. tha to public education and the causa of science would be Increased. It la probable' tharif the efftplorationa are started; public Interest will insure the continuance of the werk under approved and the question ef proper housing: and exhibition wjll be satisfactorily settled.

BAKERY MERGER SUIT For the first time since a rnoTernent was betran months agro to mertre Into an Immense corporation the bis; b4kinc rnnctrni of th United Btatea. the promoters are confront ed with a formal official threat. In bringing' an anti trust suit at Baltimore, yesterdayi fihi federal department of Justice has taken ac tton that is Justified. Whether; or hot the consolidation is a grooa thinr. or Is filled with possibilities for harm, Sa an open question.

Aside from that there is much to be de termine solely from the standpoint of legality. As long as Sher man and Clayton antl trost la are In. existence, their provisions should not be disregarded, either in testionally or unintentional! IU ta yet to established that they have been In the bakery project. but the point Is that there should be a clear undefatandlna. i.

The people are not disposed to be unreasonable in apely log bars to aggregations of capital for Industrial It Is a greneral view that co ordinated effort, looking toward production on a large scale and the achievement of in that production, has much to Justify It. That tendency is apparent In all sorts of business. With it. however, have eoroe other tenden cies. such as stock promotion achemes.

price levels re grardlesa of the cost of raw mate ria la. an Insistence on exceedingly liberal dlvldenda and other aspects sugrgsstlve of monopoly that are do Ingr the merger Idea no cood. In consequence the bakery project has been regarded, by the public with aome doubt and the apeculatlon that has been going; on In certain bakery stocks has added to the doubt. Combination in any line of trade can Justify Itself only by sharing; Its benefits with consumers. If it be true that consolidations prevent waste.

there stll Is a. lingering; feeling that the so called wastes of competition are the chespeat guar anty the people can have against the dangers of exploitation." Nor can it be said that combination IS an un varying preventive of waste. In some undertakings 1t may Increase We are far from having; deter mined for. all time the caee of com bination versus competition. The fact that the bakery suit has been brought, and that the Sherman and Clayton acta still are In existence.

Is evidence that the vtue still has A HEX ACE TO SURGE0X8 The Gorges Memorial Institute yes terday announced tbat Dr. A. Newman Porland had found a man unendowed with an appendix. We assume that the abaenoe of. the appendix in this case Is not due to aa operation, and that ths eminent physician is not deceived In his conclusion that the man waa bora without this mysterious organ.

Dr. Dor land says: Complete abeenee of the appendix is rare In roan, but it is common In such animals as the deg or cat. The persistence of the appendix la man is a strong argument for Its functional There are certain body parts like the little finger and little toe which are passing away, and these vestiges are not ilrni of deg eneraey. kThey are the result ot the Influence of environment. The presence of the appendix can not, therefore, be regarded as a sign of degeneracy.

It may be a passing Part, exactly like the little fingrer. But If the appendix is coinr. god has la this most Interesting; case already gone, the field for aurgical work will be conalderably narrowed. What proportion of the time' and skill of surgeons Is devoted to tha elimination of appendixes we do not know, nor is it possible to say, without exact information, what proportion of their revenue is. derived from that source, There are multitudes of appendlxless people, but they have; been reduced to 'that happy atate by the knife.

But. If men are losing their appendixes as the result of an evolutionary process the surgeons of the future perhaps distant future will certainly not be aubjeeta for congratu lation. The Gorges Memorial Institute believes that the recent rather startling discovery la Important tn He bearing: on ithe question whether the appendix perforata any useful function within the body. Why ttTla point1 can not be determined by a comparlaon between those who have been through an operation aad those who still have the orgs. determined as well by a study of the man in this care.

Is not quite Ulear. But there aeema to be a Sif ference between the man who has lost his sppendlx and the man who never had Dr. Dorland holds that the arpendlx' would not be present so persistently tf It did not have a Job," One Job It certainly haa that of supplying work, end fees, tor the surgreona. Viewing the subject la si broader way. there are few of us who would not like to knew how much of the human body Is tpaaalng.t aa It la Important that should know how much is to be left.

It seems that the little finger and the little toe are "on their way. Tet it la said that men would find It exceedingly difficult to maintain ''their balance without the little toe, which cer talnly performs an Important func tlon. Without the tittle Infer It would be Impossible for one to re main nsy in handllna: the tea cup. It la said that In a thousand years or so the race will be toothless. The alarmists eten goi so far as to predict that lera will disappear, ao little are they used Evolution seems to be coins; on In "our rear midst In our midat.

Indeed. XOS'VOTIXO STOCK The New Tork Stock Exchange Is giving; Its attention to the billions of dollars of corporate stock that has been snd Is belnr Issued, of which only a small portion has voting; power, or anything; to say concerning; the management of the property. It Is not proposed no re fuse to list the stock Of such cor porations, but the exchange accepts responsibility for such issues, and aa a result will do what It en see that they are unobjectionable on the. score of honesty and faith before I they are tiated. A re cent report of the committee on stock, llstinr.

approved by the gov ernors of the exchsngre, is as fol lows: The committee on stock 'list has had for some weeks under consider ation certain tendencies In modern corporate organisations of which the committee considers that It should take cognisance. One of these tendencies has to do with the creation of two. classes of common stock between which the only sub stantlal difference tlles In fact that one class votes while the other does not. Without at this time at tempting; to formulate a definite policy, attention should be drawn to the fact that In the future the com mittee in considering; 'applications for the listing of securities will give careful thought to the matter of voting; control. That "la, If a few.

atockholders. owning; only, an nalgnlflcant minority of the' stockv are to control. and direct the destinies of corpora tions I with I billions of dollars of stock, the Stock Exchange proposes to see. as far as Jt Is possible, that the controlling; stockholders are men whose purpoeev are beyond suspi cion, concerning; whose honesty and Intes Tlty there can he no doubt. The practice Is not condemned, but It Is made clear that corporations thus organised will be aubjected.

before' their stock' is listed, to a close scrutiny as they should be. Many times of late the country has been congratulated on the widely diffused; ownership of corporate properties, the argument being; that this mads for stability, and also that it Indicated that the people were practicing; thrift and wlaely lnveat tng; their savings. But when it appeared that the people thus invest ing; had no control of, any sort over the property which' was theirs, and nothing; whatever to say as to Its msnagement. such men as Professor' Ripley, 0( Harvard, called attention to the dangera Involved In diffused ownership and narrowly concentrated control. And of course those dangers are real, as Is now recognised by the New Tork.

Stock Ex change. JURY SHIRKERS More than fifty talesman In a panel of 10, summoned for Jury service In a New Tork court, failed to appear on the day set. Judge Cornelius rV Collins," presiding ordered that proceedings be started to. punish them for contempt, of court. He eald.

yl Confronted with a situation where It ia said that a crime wave exists throughout the country and pro testa generally being made, cltlsens are sometimes condemning the police, sometimes the district attorneys, and frequently the' courts, and amon those who have protested most vigoroEsly are the biggest of the bigv business of the coun try. Were one to ask some buslneas men. "How many of you have done your Jury duty, oi how many of you have avoided It and backed out as best you could? a very large number of our protesting business men would have to hang; their heads, in shame. i i The situation revealed In New Tork has its counterpart most American communttlea." It doea not explain all the lowered; preatiga of law enforcement machinery," but it la a contributing factor to an unsat Isfactory altuation in Judicial proceaaes.1 Judge Collins added: Juries must be composed of business men. or men are required to live up to their daily obligations, and it la high time that men In the conduct of their: business should make arrangements, so that when their torn comes tn a call for Jurjfc duty they would be ready respond and regard It as seriously and as sacredly as If called for duty or their country in time of Patriotism In time of peace 1 as necessary as patriotism In war time, if national processes areto work for the general grood.

Jury shirking Is no small evil, and It Is tolerated, both by courts and the public, far too much. ABUEIXO PARDOXS In ths clothing of a dead bandit, found near Hising Sun. was a pardon from the Governor of Kentucky1, Issued December 1 1, 1925. The man was Identified as Joseph Patrick Murphy. The records 'ahow that he waa aentenced to the Kentucky H.

formatory as the result of a felony conviction. lie had served four years on a seven year sentence, and had refused a parole when he became eligible, becauae he was an alien and a parole, that he might be deported. Some students ot the crime problem say that alien criminals should be deported when they are found arullty and that the taxpayers should not be required to psy for their maintenance in re formatorlea and prlaona. The law aay a that the guilty must be Imprisoned but It is arg ued that la cases of this kind the aliens should be returnedVto the coanlrlea from which they came and a. record kept so that they could be idenUSed If they returned.

Murphy had a grood prison record and had assisted in putting down ant outbreak. Under the parole law ot Kentucky he could have been released before the Governor pardoned him. The. weight of evidence probably waa in favor of hia release, but there was so way telling; In his case, or In any other, what will happen after a convict gets his freedom.
