(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ZEPPELIN’S DREAM The arrival in America of the great dirigible Graf Zeppelin shows once more the vast power that lies in the hands of an ardent dreamer. The man who is called level-headed and practical may seem to rule the world; but always, sooner or later, he moves at the bidding of someone who can forget prac- ticality and devote himself to visions. Count Zepellin was a dreamer. When he served as military observer with the federal armies during the American Civil War he was attached to the balloon sec- tion, then being tried out as an experiment. The bal- loons were not highly effective; but their use inspired the young German with the beginnings of his great dream—a dream of an airship that could sail through the skies with safety and efficiency. For the rest of his life he devoted himself to this dream. At the dawning of the century he launched his first dirigible. It was a success—an amazing success, for those days. Zeppelin became famous. His very name became, in the public mind, synonymous with the word dirigible. Today the old count is dead and gone. But his dream is just beginning to reach its full development. The mighty airship that bears his name crossed the Atlantic against adverse conditions, carrying a score of pas- sengers in luxury and safety, with a crew of some fifty men in addition. The feat, naturally enough, took the world by the ears. Solid financiers are beginning to believe that the dirigible can be made to ring cash registers. To be sure, all of this about the potency of dreams and dreamers is fairly old stuff. But in an age where we pride ourselves on our hard-headedness and prac- ticality, it is worth keeping in mind. And there is one more point to it. The dreamer who makes his dreams come true is not the “ideal dreamer” of tradition. To play with a dream in the back of your mind, turn- ing it over every now and then but letting it always re- main @ mere fancy, is to accomplish nothing. A real dreamer, of the type of Count Zeppelin, is necessarily one of the busiest mortals on earth. He gives himself to his dream so whole-heartedly that he can neither think of nor work at anything else. The task of making a dream come true can be defined as someone has de- fined genius—1 per cent inspiration and 99 per cent perspiration. * This combination—the ability to visualize something new and the energy to make it a reality—is somewhat rare. When it does occur, however, the world moves. A new continent is found, a new machine is invented to lighten the drudgery of millions, a quicker method of communication is developed, or the bonds of time and space which hold mankind in a circumseribed orbit are loosened. The transatlantic trip of the Graf Zeppelin is just another case in point. GANG GOVERNMENT Some interesting news has been coming out of Chi- cago lately, if you have happened to see it—and this doesn’t refer to the campaign news, either. Chicago has a group of 16 men on trial on charges of terrorism in the spring election. These men come under the wings of the Ellers, father and sons, powers in Chicago politics. The accounts of the trial are worth reading. For instance: one witness told of voting 20 times for the machine at the election. Another, an election booth. watcher, told of being kidnaped by men in an ‘auto who were accompanied by a policeman. Another described a house used as a “jail” to accommodate kid- naped workers. And, in addition, another man waiting to,testify was trailed from the prosecutor's office and .slugged by unknown assailants. All-of this, worse luck, isn’t particularly startling. We have heard it before. Other cities have had “re- peaters,” election day violence, crooked cops and ma- chine-hired plug-uglies. ‘But it is extremely important, as an additional symp- tom of the most menacing development that has ap- péared in American civilization in decades. ‘That development is the rise of a new kind of in- visible government—the rule of the gang. _ Gang rule is absolute over its subjects. The man who its. laws dies—by sawed-off shotgun or ma- chine gun. The man who even protests its policies may die also. The man who refuses to pay tribute dies—or sees bis home or place of business destroyed by a bomb. «The gang government is rich. It can spend stagger- ing sums to see that the regular, legal government does nat bother it.’ Read about the Philadel; h condition where it is posi- threatening our whole political and social struc- _ The “state within « state” has actually, in some more powerful than any other force.

Time was when the advance of ci ion depended on the rovers—the men who left the settled, established regions and ventured into unknown lands, looking for gold mines, fertile farm lands, tracts of timber, sites They expanded the world’s horizons, wiped the old boundaries off the map and opened for thousands of people the opportunity to forget their discouragements and make a new start in a different scene. ' That sort of thing has pretty nearly ended now. The Oregon Trail is no longer a dangerous, glamorous path- way through a land of dangers; it is an, casy ride on luxurious railroad trains—or, if you prefer, by airplane. Byrd has gone to explore unsettled lands, to be sure, but nobody expects a rush of prospectors or home- steaders to follow him. Our horizons cannot recede much farther. Lindbergh could reach them all over- night. Instead our pioneers and cxplorers have gone into the laboratory. Our hope of material progress now rests not on the men who seek new lands, but on men who seek new combinations in the bottoms of test tubes. In the old days the boy who wanted to grow up to be a builder of new cities was apt to prepate ‘for his work by becoming a sailor or a soldier. Now he enters a school of technology. A cheap substitute for rubber would work an eco- nomic revolution, just as the manufacture of artificial silk is. beginning to turn eastern Tennessee into a re- gion of great industries. Similarly, the development of synthetic products from cornstalks may yet make Towa a land of mighty factories. The man who holds the future in the hollow of his hands is the research specialist. He is the modern ex- plorer. He misses, perhaps, the color and epic zest of the earlier explorer; there are no dawn-stained sails on purple seas for him, no limitless vistas opening from the tops of hard-fought mountains. But he is, never- theless, a great pioneer. He shapes the lives of people yet unborn. GOOD ROADS BOND ISSUES The election of a president is not the only important, issue facing the voters at the coming election. Bond issues for highway improvements, totaling the amazing sum of $330,000,000, will be passed on by vot- ers in the various states. This speaks volumes for the way our civilization is developing. Many men and women who have not yet reached middle age can recall the day when a paved road in the country was almost unheard of; when wagons and carriages plowed along through sand and dust in dry weather and through deep mud in wet. A decade ago, when a motorist asked how the roads were on a certain route, he meant, “Are they passable, or are they all mud and sink holes?” Now, when he asks that question, he simply wants to know if they are smooth enough for him to drive at 50 miles an hour, or if they need resurfacing and will hold his speed down to 25. Undoubtedly, the voters will approve the bulk of these bond issues. Good roads are vital to our national ‘wel- fare. | Editorial Comment | THE ALL-NIGHT DRIVE (Enterprise, Ore., Record Chieftain) F If you are tempted to make an all-night drive or join a party with such a schedule, tl nly safe advice is. don't. It is one of the most hazardous ventures in au- tomobiling. Every year many us accidents happen and numerous lives are lost from playing. on the road too long. Tried nature asserts itself infallibly, the head nods, the eyes close momentarily, and the speed- ing car rushes on to destruction. . A young man in town bears scars which tell him the ils of late night driving. W: friend, while in col- lege, he made a long night drive to see a football game. On the way home he found himself in a hospital after an accident of which he has no recollection. He fell asleep at the wheel and knew nothing more until he ke, bruised and cut, with nurses and a physician nding about him. Last year a man driving from Boise to western Ore- gon went off the highway near La Grange in the mid- dle of the night and was killed when he ran into the ditch. A few months ago a young man traveling alone went off the grade on the Columbia highway and was found dead, his.car a wreck. It was learned that he had come from California without stopping for rest and was driving night and day. Safety rules limit the hours that a railroad man may re on continuous duty: but automobile drivers think nothing of staying on the road twice as long. No- body isin such a hurry. Don’t do it.* ‘KINGS IN SCHOOL w.___:, (New York Times) The millions of children in American public schools should be interested in the dispatch from Budapest which states that even kings must go to school. Little King Mihai of Rumania is not to ept aloof in the company. of a private tutor, or pedagogue, or philos- opher was Alexander under the tutelage of Aristole, but is to rub elbows with children of, his own age— children of peasants and 4: ins, of tradesmen ‘i the nobility, and‘from every province in Rumania.

Broadly ‘speaking, they all come under the category of “doubtful” states. By almost any method of computation, Governor Smith needs at least four of them to win the elec- tion. On the other hand, it is quite conceivable these seven states might defeat Hoover. The consensus of opinion among political writers and politicians now seems to be that Hoover's chances are bright in Oklahoma, Kentucky and West Virginia and that Smith has an edge in Tennessee, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia. Even money bets, however, are being made in most of these states. In 1924 Coolidge carried West Virginia by 31,000, Kentucky by 24,000, and Missouri by 76,000. Davis carried Oklahoma by 29,000, Tennes- see by 26,000, North Carolina by 93,- 000 and Virginia by 86,000. * _ In these states prohibition and re- ligion seem to be the most important issues, with some difference of opin- ton as to which is swaying the most voters. Democrats have been worrying about Oklahoma ever since the Hous- ton convention. Oklahoma votes Republican whenever it likes. It is dry and Protestant. It appears to be sour this year on the Democratic state administration and the Hoover organization’ has functioned more! smoothly than Smith’s, whic! been alarmed by numerous bolt: as those of Ex-Senator Owe: the Tulsa Tribune, _ Smith went to. Oklahoma to de- liver his speech on intolerance and nearly all reports agree t! it had no great effect. Some trend back toward Smith lately has been has ich and claimed, but Republicans are claim- | gious prejudi | drift to Smith in St. Louis and other ie the state by from 50,000 to 75,- z see Both Hoover and Smith, made speeches in Tennessee and Smith’s chances were subsequently thought |to have improved. Here the Repub- |licans are divided factionally, the Democrats have an effective organ- ization and the racial issue has been dragged in against Hoover to meet the religious issue. Governor Hor- ton and Senator McKellar, both drys and both renominated this year, are leading the fight for Smith. The result is likely to be close. In Kentucky, which also has the religious issue, both parties are ex- ploiting the race problem. Dry Senator Barkley and the state ticket are warring for Smith, but the Re- Hoalest are confident and the emocrats only hopeful. Two or three months ago it was commonly said in Virginia that the state would go for Hoover if the election were held then. Virginia still may be considered doubtful, but there has been a trend toward Smith, according to observers on the ground. Bishop Cannon has been the principal Hoover campaigner, but has been bitterly fought by Senator Glass and Governor Byrd. The re- ligious issue has been worked over- time against Smith and a reaction to it is said to have developed. Many Virginia politicians expect the elec- |tion there to be the closest within their memory. Carolina, where the bolt of the pow- erful Senator Simmons put the re- sult in doubt. Rum, religion and race are described as the only real issues. While the Republicans pin their faith on Simmons, Smith hopes to be saved by Governor McLean and Josephus Daniels, both drys. Present betting is that North Caro- lina will persist in its tendency to remain regularly Democratic. Virtually all Democratic figuring on Smith’s chances to beat Hoover count in Missouri’s 18 votes. There farm relief enters the picture along with prohibition and religion. A month ago the Democrats set out to lcampaign especially against reli » believing ‘that the The same seems to apply to North | wet territory would give them the state if they were successful. St. Louis is conceded to Smith, but rural Missouri will make him or break him, depending on the size of its majority for Hoover. The same Pomme goes for West Virgit epublicans have been worrying about defection of their ‘negro voters, but appear to be con- fident. Senator Neely and his Re- Peas opponent, former Governor latfield, are leading the fights for their respective national tickets. The bolt of many Democratic women has militated against Smith, but Hoover supporters are probably too optimis- tic in claiming a record-breaking Republican majority. f_INNEW YORK | o—_______» New York, Oct. 29.—After a long period of peace, sinister signs come from Mott and Pell and Doyer streets. Chinatown has suddenly grown just a bit too quiet. It is an omin- ous quiet. Chinatown is most men- acing when it is ‘stillest. xe * In Times Square the Chinatown sigl ing busses have taken down their signs. So far as the regular Chinatown trips are concerned, the bus wheels are chained to the curb. They operate elsewhere for a time. For the police have given the “stay out” order. They don’t want tour- ists and sightseers in the war zone. “26 In Doyer, Mott and Pell streets the old-timers of the “Chinatown squad” walk about, conferring in whispers at street corners and en- i y Orientals in brief con- Knowing nods are ex- two plainclothes detec- tives pass. At the many entrance ways to Chinatown strollers are ad- vised not to tarry. In the curved heart of Chinatown there are curt orders to “move along.” A few cur- ious gather and look about in per- pie and expectation. They are ustled about their business. To the stranger the scene would suggest a Sunday morning in a tiny town. That is—if it were not for those flat-footed men who appear to be sauntering casually along, but who have one ear to the wind and both eyes tuned to quick action.

Some say a half inch longer, and others say the big toe should touch the end.” Answer: The toe should never touch the end of the shoe, and the shoe should be large enough to allow a reasonable spread of the toes. This not only helps keep the arches of the foot strong, but tends to keep down the nervousness created feet wearing shoes which are too ight. Bloating From Too Much Flour Question: X. Y, Z. asks: “Does flour make blood? I eat as much as a 5-lb, sack of pastry flour a month. I suffer from extreme pains in the pit of my stomach, and am very nerv- ous and bloat a lot.” Answer: I do not wonder that you are very nervous, bloat a lot, and have pain in the pit of your stomach if you eat so much flour. Wouldn’t it be sensible to leave flour entirely out of your diet for a while, and use more of the green vegetables combined with such food as eggs, milk or meat?
