Mauglian's Successful Fuilu r<* With only the width of three states between him and the Pacific Ocean Lieutenant Russell Maughun last week gave up his second attempt to fly across the continent in a day. A broken motor con nection prevented further fly ing. But for this the flier, hurtling along at a speed of 192 miles an hour would ap parently have completed what would have been a new fastest crossing of the United States. Of course he will eventually do so, unless the announce ment that there will be no fur ther attempt th's year means an end df this particular ad venture. The problem is now more than ever a sheer me chanical oncj^for Lieutenant Maughan knows his route and the behavior of his machine in long distance flying. His ef fort at least left a record of 1,972 miles down in i:t net flying hours and what might be called 15 gross flying hours. It is an unparalleled achievement in sustained speed, and essentially a guar anty that the remaining thous and miles can be flown as soon as the relationship . between motor vibration and motor pip ing has been further explored. The fact that Lieutenant Maughan and the world are now casually waiting pn such an exploration is its own com ment on the progress of loco motion in the last fifteen years. The automobile in 190S was just coming into general use The first public flight of a hea vier than air machine took place in July of that year. Now we can cross the continent in a single "hop," and are seeking to breakfast in New York and dine in San Francisco. ? The Sun and the Globe. Coming Home to Roost i? Mr. Harding is terribly dis : appointed in the results of the Minnesota election. There is nothing more certain in politics than that chickens will come home to roost. The chickens . which the Republicans sent out i in 1920 with such reckless dis J regard for truth and fairness I are coming home to roost in t. droves, and the end is not yet. !? What could Mr. Harding cx ^ pect? The New York World ; aums up the matter in this gra ; phic language: "He himself is in the White . 'House by virtue of the most i colossal and systematic cxploita J> tion of popular discontent I' that this country has ever i known. For two years previ ous to the election of 1920 the Republican managers devoted ? their money, their energies and all their ingenuity to the pro motion and organization of dis content. With it they amal gamated every racial hatred that could be aroused and in flamed. They brought in every European feud that could be i used to arouse resentment al&inst the Wilson Administra tion on the part of the hyphe-! nated voters. Anything that might resemble a constructive policy was sacrificed in order to make sure that this great army of passion and discontent could be mobilized and marched to the polls. "Mr. Harding Has been pay=_ ing the penalty of this strategy ever since he was inaugurated. The policy of normalcy that he proclaimed was never a policy at all but a country politician's theory that if each of the dis cordant elements got something out of the Administration for itself everybody would eventu ally be satisfied. As it turned out, nobody got what he want ed except the irreconcilable?, who were interested only in negation, and nobody is satis fied. Even the beneficiaries of the Fordney-McCumber tariff view their personally conducted schedules with mixed emotions and wonder why nothing has quite turned out according to the prospectus. "The President evidently thought that the discontent that the Republican managers so successfully manipulated in 1018, 1919, and 1920 could be kept as a permanent political force making for Republican victory. It never occurred to him that discontent must be ap peased or it becomes an active and open enemy. Having given the Western farmers an emerg ency tariff that ought to have enriched them, according to the ancient -theories of the party, and then acquiesced in the farm-Woe arrangement to en-| able them to borrow money more easily to carry on a los ing business,-Mr. Harding could jee iiQ,_re??otv\vtiy they should iioL- be personally happy and politically "delighted with the Administration. The fact that they were selling their crops at less than the cost of production and getting poorer nhd poorer was a detail which in his scheme of thrngs-had no place at the bal-1 lot box. The election of 1022 might have prepared the President's mind for the Minnesota elec tion. Most of his army of dis content deserted him in the fall election and the rest is leaving rapidly. Without quite knowing what it wants, it at least knows that it was tricked in 1920 and is taking its revenge on the administra tion in power. "Mr. Harding happens to be the sign and symbol of this trickery- In one.sense his per sonal responsibility for what has happened is not great, for he has not been the leader cf the Republican Party but-only jtho- figurehead, but he is the one who can be most easily i reached. The Republican or ganization has been in control 'and Minnesota is the last word on?th>e organization's capacity to meet the problems of gov ernment. It was satisfied In 1920 to have a victory at the poqls on the appeal it made, regardless of the consequences. Now it is dealing with those consequences, and the Presi dent's disappointments will in crease long before they ever begin to diminish.?Goldsboro News. i : TIMELY TOPICS 1 Portnw And suitable Pr?mr<! srs TTlout occasions. alwo dnlnty irda to iionrt the nick or for blrth or at other times.
