PAYNE, BURNS & SMITH NEW YORK - : - Fifth Ave. Bldg. (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Wood and Thompson General Leonard Wood rests in Arlington Ceme- tery, and in the Philippines, the protests against his so-called “autocratic rule” have subsided as the Filipinos take stock of what he actually did for their country. Leonard Wood, as political leaders are evidently beginning to realize, really did more to aid the Fili- pinos toward self-government than: any previous governor-general had done. His unbending nature and his refusal to be bulldozed made him many enemies, but even they are forced to realize, on look- ing back over his career, that he guarded their in- terests even more solicitously than they might have been had a-republican form of government been in| force. Just who will be appointed as his successor, it iv hard to say, but ‘the President is reported as lean- ing toward Carmi I. Thompson, his ‘investigator’ of conditions on the Islands a few months ago. Mr. Thompson would be a good man for the position. He holds views differing from those which Wood had, but he is a man who is temperate and wise in his decisions. After Mr. Thompson remains in the Islands a few months, should he be appointed, he is apt to modify his views on Philippine independence some, however. As General Wood plainly saw, these Islanders are ing hand to direct them rightly. Mr. Thompso1 would be a good man to guide them and he would probably be more personally appealing than was General Wood, able man though the latter was, Some Others Beside Covlidge President Coolidge, having definitely betaken himself out of the presidential candidacy lime- light, announces that he doesn’t intend to have any- thing to do about who his successor will be. This is another typically Coolidgean gesture. As president, he has the power, indirectly to say a great deal about who shall be the next nominee and if he were insistent’ enough could probably get his own way. Other presidents have tried that. But Coolidge, as one newspaper correspondent re. 2 Portugal and other dictator-loving lands. | American government has been to delegate more in each other, had made their first marriage se- riously and kept it sacredly.

While the tendency in and more power to the chief executive, democracy provides an excellent club to hold over the head of a chief executive. If he misbehaves, the club falls, effectively though without bloodshed and revolu- tion. The trouble with a Mussolini-like dictator is that he is his own boss and can’t be fired when he misbehaves, Who Controls The Air? The advance of flying raises anew the argument anent that always debatable question of state sov- ereignty. Who is going to control the air, the fed- eral government or the sovereign states? If old pretedents are followed: the federal gov- ernment will control interstate flying, and each state will control flying within its own borders, for such a general principle and division of interest has been applied to regulation of business, to eontrol of railroads, to jurisdiction in court matters, This precedent was established in times when 2 journey across a state line was an event, when busi- ness houses which carried on their trade outside their own community were exceptional. A day’s journey in those times was a journey across a coun- ty. A day’s journey in these flying times-is a jour- ney across a country. No airplane constructed even today has such clipped wings that its flying range is limited to one state, and for this reason, the argu- ment that all flying control should come under fed. eral jurisdiction has much weight. : One other fact which adds merit to this argumen' is the evidence of the present move to have the states establish a uniform traffic code for the regula- tion of motor vehicle movements. If even the-auto- mobile has made state regulation of travel annoy- ing, certainly the airplane, in ten years at least, will make state regulation a nuisance. | Editorial Comment | The Disparity. of Sex (St. Paul Dispatch) When Clyde L.

It is doubtful if it will degenerate into such a hopeless muddle as did the last Democratic convention, but it will probably be more dramatic, more interesting. with the field as split as it is now. Congratulations to the ‘Sentinel’ Commemorating the opening of a new gateway to McKenzie and Moyntrail countiesthe Sanish Sentinel last week issued a special “Bridge Dedica- toin Number” which would be a credit to a paper The edition tells how the bridge idea was started, how it was brought before the state legislature, how ~ the work on the structure progressed and points out = the benefits which will accrue to both McKenzie and Mouiitrafl cowitiés through its erection. The main thing, of course, is that the bridge opens up to more travel the “Island Empire” of North Da- kota, McKenzie county. It means that motorists can go back and forth from one county to another without the delay and inconvenience a ferry neces- sitates. It means that there will be a greater de- velopment of the upper Missouri river territory in _the neighborhood of the bridge. ~ As a marker of another step forward in the pro- gress. of western North Dakota, this special edition is a fitting thing, and the Sentinel’s publishers deserve credit for their able work. Four Kinds of Marriage In: New York City, Mrs, Phillips Barton becomes peice 11 20. ee wed. cheese vepend by Yh eB of which permitted a husband to chastise his wife but with a rod “no thicker than his thumb.” * The contrast between the attitude toward women in Europe and in America was never better shown. Let one man beat up another in a fight and the of- fender usually gets off with a perfunctory fine. In one state the wife-beater is certain of the lash. If, as the National Women’s party asks, al? discrimination in favor of or against women were wiped out, the protection now available to women would be removed from American law. The law recognizes the fact that there are disabilities of sex, not law-created, but a disparity put there by nature, The shield of the law is interposed, handed down from ancient chivalry. So long as our courts give offenders six months in jail or the whipping post, and European courts affirm the right of the man to chastise the woman, there will be little force behind any argument for change in the United States, A Brief Introduction to the Coolidgean “Choose.” o0se. (The Chicago Tribune) Mr. Coolidge said: “I do not choose to run for President in 1928.” There appears to be some doubt about his meaning. The doubt turns on the word “choo: Did he mean “I won’t run” or “maybe I won't run”? ‘The answer, we believe, is to be found not by consulting dictionaries, but in an exam- ination of Mr. Coolidge’s works. The dictionari tell what some one else means;.Mr. Coolidge’s writ- ings show what he means. at Kansas City on Oct. 31, 1921, Mr. Coolidge said that in April, 1917, the moment had come when “the destruction of the lives of our citizens left no choice but to declare . . . war.”. cheice here is inevitability. On Jan. 11, 1922, Mr. Coolidge spoke on “Our Heritage from Hamilton” before the Hamilton club of Chicago. Hamilton, he said, “had faith that the people would make the right choice.
