PRESIDENT ALREADY IN.
ARE WE AN OSTRICH?
WATCH R. R. HOOKUPS.
0. S. PAUPERISM DYING.
A Washington correspondent
nyi "President Coolidge will keep
oat oflf the Mitchell fight," refer
ring to Colonel Mitchell's charges
as to general incompetency in the
management of United States air
forces and the suggestion that Col
onel Mitchell, lowered in rank for
the truth once, should now
tte arrested for telling the trmth
ELow oouid the President, who is
head of the Army and Navy, keep
out of the Mitchell matter? It is
not conceivable that his subordi
nates, knowing of the President's
readiness to hear both sides of any
onestion, would undertake any ac
tion without his approval.
T^e people do not believe that
tike President will permit any ac
tion against Colonel Mitchell "until
the entire aviation question shall
luwe been fully thrashed out, in
cluding the fiasco in the effort
te fly to Hawaii, anil the catas
trophe of the Shenandoah.
It is to be hoped that the in
qpnarv when it comes, will not be
a whitewashing enterprise, but a
seal investigation.
President will want to know
why the protest of Commander
letodomrne, an experienced airman
who had flown across the Atlantic
ki a dirigible, was ignored. The
President will not want any white
washing or any offhand suppros
rion of Colonel Mitchell, who isn't
easily suppressed, by the way. He
?HI want the facts, and will see
4hat he gets them. ja
? ,-l. W- p. . .
The most dlsouieting thr^r in
?or *o-caHed defense programme
I? mis statement attributed to
Judge Wilbur, Secretary- of the
Nav^:
"ai vitw of the experience of the
navy plants in the Arctic expedi
tion. the failure of the Hawaiian
tight and the Shenandoah dis
inter, we have come to the con
oioaion that the Atlantic and the
Pacific are still our best defenses.
"We have nothing to fear from
?bcqi) aircraft that is not on this
continent."
The experience in the Arctic,
the failure of the Hawaiian flight,
dreadful Shenandoah disaster
had nothing to do with capable
$ir navigation, but if great deal to
<Jo with incompetent management
of onr air force.
We should have, indeed, nothing
to fear from foreign aircraft if we
eoold give to foreigners such
management as our aircraft has.
Mr. Wilbur's statement that our
oceans are our best defense sounds
WVo the statement of some ostrich
saying, "I have nothing to fear,
tfce ?and is my best defense. I
stick my head into it."
I
It is suggested that railroads b? I
forced to combine in great trans- ?'
portatlon units, and that they '
make their own selections "rather
than have the Government do the
loosing for them."
Why not have a selection, of
wefl-informe<i men, railroad men of
eonrse, acquainted with traffic con
ditions, make a survey of rail
roads, and let the Government
know which combination should
be made in the interest of econ
ocnjr and of efficiency ?
President Coolidge will certainly
not think it wise to leave these
combinations to selfish interests
baeed on opportunities for stock
jobbing, combining broken down
loads with good roads for the
take of immediate profit, rather
than more efficiency. Perhaps
tor the sake of unloading unprofit
able railroads on the stockholders
feat own profitable railroads.
Pauperism is dying out in the
United States thanks to better
wngea, widows' pensions, more en
^gbtened medical care, and espe
cially campaigns of health adver
tising, carried on by the great life
insurance companies.
Of 100,000 in our population.
Only 71.5 are in poorl.ouses now.
And that is exactly 71.5 too many.
In 1914 there were 91.5 out of
100, 00fl in the poorhouses. Things
have improved since the war
Auredi up wages.
i What does the worid need?
Thousands of preachers, standing
on the shore of time and peering
into eternity with the strong au
th ority that their vocation gives
them try to answer the question.
Here are a few answers made
in the pulpits last Sunday:
The Keverend Henry Howard:
The Bible is now on the shelf,
not enough family prayers. Not
enough religion in schools ? time
proves ^ it.
