(Official City, State and County Newspaper) What the Air Derby Accomplished * Now that the national air derby is finished, ‘it is well to take note of what has actually been accomplished by this transcontinental flight. 1A few outstanding things must come to mind: ! First: It has focused the attention of the “whole United States on the great northwest, of 'ywhich North Dakota is a part. j Second: Through the ease with which most fof the flyers negotiated the route from Chi- .jeago through Bismarck to Spokane it has been -'proven conclusively that an air line through ‘,the northern tier of states is a feasible thing strom the aviator’s standpoint. :| Third: It has awakened enthusiasm of peo- yple in all the states through which the Class « “A” and “B” planes were located and has helped to spur them forward on their quest of a northern transcontinental air mail, express and passenger line. Fourth: It has furnished the impetus, in a ymajority of cases, for the establishment of clanding fields by the various municipalities «through which the planes passed. ‘,, This last item is worthy of note. Before «the plans for the derby were announced, there were only one or two municipal landing fields $7.20 7.20 . 5.00 ismarck) es {along the whole route. Bismarck had the only {municipal field in North Dakota. Glendive. « Miles City, Billings, Livingston, Aberdeen had sno regularly established fields. Now, because of this derby, they have landing places which .. Will pags stringent inspection. The derby represented a tremendous amount of work. At every stopping point plans had ‘ to be carefully laid and carefully carried _ through. It is pleasant to observe that Bis- - marck, through its Association of Commerce, : gave the flyers every convenience and evén saw ' that they got speedier service here than at any , other point along the rouie. ‘It was good to , See the throngs at the Fort Lincoln field, giv- ing ample evidence that the citizens of this j ot and of surrounding towns appreciated its » value. The air derby has served its purpose nobly in inspiring interest in aviation. There will be no slackening of effort until an air line through this territory is permanently established. And to the people of Spokane who made this flight possible should be given the sincere thanks of the people of the northwest for starting and carrying through so smoothly to its conclusion an event which is likely to be ranked as one of the most important in the chronology of his section. Mr. Meredith Advises Edwin T. Meredith of Iowa, fogmer secre- ary of agriculture, has issued a call for a con- ference of the “dry progressive” element of the Democratic party to pick a leader to suc- ceed William G. McAdoo. Unless this is done, and done quickly, he says, it will be too Jate. Supporters of Governor Smith have been ac- tive throughout the country, while those who are with Mr. Meredith in spirit have been keep- . ing a discreet silence. This was partly due to . the fact that Mr. McAdoo aggravatingly re- - fused to annoynce his attitude toward the nom- : ination, _Now all that is past. Mr. McAdoo has stated his povition definitely enough for everyone, but his deflection from the ranks has seriously em his supporters. They don’t know what way to turn. Here Mr. Smith has been having the benefits of free advertising and steady campaigns for many months, while his a) its aren’t even started. It will take a lot of hard work for Mr. Mere- dith and his ¢o-workers to counteract the ef- fect of the Smith campaign. Whether they can overcome the cumulative effect of those months of work is hard to say, but if they plan * to do it, they must start now, as Mr. Meredith points out. The Soldiers—They Know “If ever you are needed for peace and liber- ty, and you cry out to the world, ‘Together and ferward!’ there isn’t a Frenchman who wouldn’t respond.” It was Foch speaking to the men of the American zagire in Paris, sounding a note we * had been waiting to hear, dispelling clouds * above international amity, setting up a memor- { able declaration of friendship. It was Foch, speaking among soldiers. And _ the soldiers know! e soldiers know that _ what he spoke is iron-bound truth, often hid- den away in a corner of the soldier heart, but ' invariably there. Foch, we believe, spoke from | that corner of his soldier heart. | _ There is a bond of humanity among soldiers | that one who never has shouldered arms, one | who never has gone “out there” to shake hands with death, doesn’t quite understand. {It is not that France should help us because aa AM tne we have helped France. That consideration is| too small. The bond is the great human feel- of men who have eluded death together, who have felt the icy hand upon their shoul- together, rushed from beneath it.

And! the leading role is to be taken by a woman! | The woman happens to be the inimitable| Yvonne Printemps. It will be interesting to| see what she does with our celebrated ocean| flyer. She won’t be able to look as tall as he is, because she is petite, but she will wear an} aviation suit with charm, and all that. She} will be able to give a hint of Lindbergh’s boy- | ish simplicity and modesty. But, as is her custom, she probably will give| our national hero a touch of what the French| call “malice,” a word wholly untranslatable. It} doesn't mean what our word does when used in this sense. Combine waggishness, roguishness and archness and you get something of what a Frenchman means when he accuses -a pretty woman of having “malice.” Well, she will give Colonel Charles that; also on the stage he probably will have an eye for a pretty girl—he who in real life backed blush- ingly away from the fair sex who sought to! lionize him. She also certainly will have a couple of lovely songs in which the young aviator will tell in verse how nice it is to be way up in the skies, over the bounding main, and so forth. A National Work (New York Times) Easterners, accustomed to think of conserva- tion of our natural resources as a policy which always had the support of the eastern states and originally was opposed in the west, will be surprised to find a western champion expr ing the fear that the east neither cares f nor understands the problem. In a speech be- fore the Western States Taxpayers’ Conference, of which he is president, former Governor Her- bert J. Hagerman of New Mexico charges the easterners with indifference to the fate of con- servation in the west. To this the ecasterner is inclined to reply that he is at any rate de- lighted to see that at last influential western- ers are demanding even more activity on the part of the federal government. Mr. Hagerman, to a gathering largely in fa- vor of turning over the federal forests and oth- er lands to the states, boldly made a plea for continuation of federal control. He pointed out that not only is this essential in such proj- ects as the Colorado river reclamation and power plan, but that in other matters, like the conservation and use of lands, state lines must be disregarded if the best interests of the peo- ple are to be served. In particular he opposéd the transfer of the federal lands to the states on the ground that they are, in the main, sat- isfactorily administered, and that much of the cost is borne by Washington. If they were turned over to the states, it would greatly in- crease the drain on the state treasuries, and, although this would be offset in some cases by revenues from grazing and timber rights. it is@oubtful if they could be as suitably cared for as they are at present. oe In one respect the former governor criticized the federal authorities. He blamed them for not having paid as much attention to pastur- age as to forestry. But many of the state lands and private estates are and have long been badly overgrazed, with disastrous losses. It is now clear that if the semi-arid lands of the southwest had been adequately protected against overgrazing fifty or more years ago, they would be able today to support many more cattle and sheep. But it is also clear that any proposal made in the ’70s and ’80s to limit the number of cattle on the open range in the southwest would have been laughed out of con- gress by the western delegates, and if passed would have been openly resisted and defied. It has been said that the mistakes of the federal government with regard to conservation have been due to politics rather than to policy. There is no reason to believe that interference from politics would be less if the federal lands were controlled by the states. In fact, it is no secret that one of the reasons for the agi- tation to that end is that the local political and business interests which wish to have easier access to the lands for purposes of exploitation would find the state authorities more amen- able than the federal government. The policy of conservation, to be truly effective, requires the whole-hearted endorsement of the west. For the time, at least, the machinery can best be operated by the federal government. The Importance of Play (Minneapolis Journal) _ “Teaching men to play may be as importanc as teaching them to pray,” a St. Paul clergy- man told his Methodist congregation last Sun- day. And at virtually the same‘ hour, another St. Paul clergyman had this to say to his Bap- tist congregation: e Boxing is a good game. It makes for physical stamina and poise. It cultivates alertness of mind and accuracy of judg- ment. Time was when church-going folk would have been startled by such pronouncements from the pulpit.

It has not, can not. Truth is everlasting. But churches now real- ize, as they always should have realized, that the individual best prepared to carry out the scriptural command to love his neighbor, is the individual who is in sound health mentally and hysically.

Be SAINF 4 Honest. straightforward George Pruitt must have been profoundly surprised by Faith’s sudden change of manner toward him. He blinked his s keen black eyes once or twice, if they were dazzled by this new Faith—a colorful, glamor- ous, sparkling Faith, whose rich, contralto laugh rang out frequently, whose tinted lips smiled seductively whenever her large, brilliant brown eyes rested upon him. She had never looked so beautiful, had never danced with such abandon. For, after a gay, foolish hour of three-handed bridge, Cherry had sprung to her feet, commanded George to roll back the Oriental rug, and tuned in on a dance orchestra that broadcast its insinuating, pagan jazz from a fash- ionable Chicago hotel every night. And, curiously, Faith, in puttin, on sparkle, had seemed to rol Cherry, for the younger sister's gold- en e¢, seemed to become shallow, expressionless disks; even her hair, that glorious blending of copper and gold, seemed suddenly to be almost. an ordinary, rather vulgar “red.” Her delicate white skin became opaque in its pallor, so that the man- darin rouge on her cheeks stood out in grotesque circles. Cherry was sulking, and such a mood always robbed her mysteriously of her beauty. “You beautiful, superb creature!” he murmured fatuously, as he and Faith swayed in perfect unison to the languorous waltz which the jazz orchestra had granted as a sort of respite from the violences of Charlestons and Black Bottoms. Cherry, watching them _ sulkily from the couch, either read George’s lips or guessed the extravagance of his compliment by the deep flush on Faith’s cheeks. “Well, I’m glad Faith got married before she turned into such an irre- sistible siren,” Cherry called out, jn the loud, metallic voice that always expressed the kind of mood she was now in. “If she hadn't, I'd never have a chance. But she is married, even if she does seem to forget it— tonight.” “Shall I spank her, Faith?” George laughed, but there was an ugly glint in his small black eyes. “No, let’s dance,” Faith shrugged one bare, ivory shoulder and quirked her lips deliciously. And they did dance, Faith’s tall, slender body swaying with hypnotic Now For a Little Sleight of Hand SINNER om, rhythm, her head tilted toward George’s so that the faint perfume she had patted into her hair caused his nostrils to quiver with delight. It was then that Cherry sprang from the couch and sped from the room, bumping into the absorbed dancers without apology. But the violence of her exit and the unmis- takable reason for it brought Faith and George up short. ithout a word George stepped to the radio and spun the dial, cutting the music off short. Faith had dropped, with arn unbearable weariness, to the couch, é “I shouldn’t have come, Faith. Of course it was you I wanted to see, not Cherry. But—I can’t stand it. I'll be be going now—” “George, I want to tell you—I’m sotry. I—I did it deliberately, needed, oh so terribly much, to prove that someone wants me—cares. And now, I’m no better than Cherry, who has been doing such things ever since she was old enough to suspect the meaning of love. Please—for- give me,” Faith said brokenly. “Of oe love Bob, with every bit of me.” NEXT: Faith, humiliated, takes) desperate measures.

BY RODNEY DUTCHER Washington, Sept. 24.—‘“I hope we can put Senator —— over in the primary,” Wayne B. Wheeler once remarked to a close friend “Hell be drun!: most of the time, but he'll be sober enough to vote dty.” This jocular remark, wh'ch re- ferred to a recently departed sen- ator whose memory is so venerated that it would cause a fearful row to mention hi- name, was indica- tive of Wheeler’s methods. To Wheeler the cause of prohi- bition justified any means necessary to its success. Poisoned alcohol, double jeopardy, defea’' of distin- wished and valuable senators in favor of publicly “dry” Jut personal- ly “wet” nonentities—Wheele. firm- ly believed that all these methods were ethical. He never expected a majority of personal drys in Con- gress and didn’t worry about it. Until the end, Wheeler devoted his great talents co defeating those senators, congressmen, governors and other officials who weren't “tight” ith the league. Instances were innur-crable. .

Pinchot, being a dry, could hard- ly give the letter to the wet minors ity for insertion. Wheeler abso- lutely refused to allow the letter to go into the record and the best Pinchot’s men could do was to give the letter to the press which gave it wide publicity.
