(Official City, State and Coun’y Newspaper) A NEGLECTED EMPIRE PROVIDER ‘The sesquicentenary of George Rogers Clark's cam- paign in the wilderness of the present state of Indiana during the American revolution is the first recognition of the great work he accomplished for the future of this country. The revolution was being fought on the bat- tlefields of the thirteen original colonies at the time, and the Clark expedition did not seem the important stroke it really was because it did not seem a part of the fight- ing to achieve the independence of the colonies. It was rather a flank movement against the British and Indians, @ blow thc: was not part of the game, a sort of free-lance stravzy ou the side in the war of the colonies to cast off the yoke of the mother country. It required the development of the new republic and the westward tide of migration in after years to demonstrate the extent of the Clark achievement. What Clark did was to add to the territory of the colonies that stretch of domain out of which the present states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin have been formed. Even when the colonies had come to the realization that it was not merely independence that they had accomplished but, in addition to that, had laid the foundations of an empiréthat eventually spread it- self from ocean to ocean, the feat of Clark and his Virginia riflemen was not appraised in its true signifi- cance. It was one of the unconsciously great steps in the building of the American empire. He brought into the newly-established republic an area lacking just 82,264 square miles of equaling the original colonies. These latter colonies contained an extent of 330,369 square miles. The states carved out of the territory gained by the Clark expedition contain an area of 248,105 square miles. He did not double the original arca of the colonies but he contributed a territory equal to'75 per cent of their area to them—territory rich in agricultural, timber and coal resources. Eventually the richness of this territory brought set- tiers and quick development in the early days of the ploncer migration westward. These lands were the first West of the young republic. One recalls that the Lincoln family trekked out of Kentucky into Indiana and thence to Illinois. Again, later, the migration to the lands fartuer west took many of the Ohio, Indiana and Illinois cotlors into the states of Kansas and Iowa. All having its beginning in the brilliant stroke of that military edventure headed by George Rogers Clark out of the depths of the American revolution. What Clark and his riflemen accomplished is summed up in the Current History magazine by Test Dalton. From being a neglected hero of yesterday, says Dalton, Clark has emerged to stand side by side with Washington. ‘The capture of Fort Sackville, as he appraises it, was one of the decisive battles of the world. No body of men in any battle endured more suffering than those Virginians, Kentuckians and Illinoisans. They ‘were compelled to wade through water as high as their waists and up to their armpits, not waters warmed by the sun, but as cold as the Arctic. The freezing nights added to the hardships which they bore for days at a time and without food. Famished, frozen and dying, they plunged on through the wilderness to their goal, led by a man who had divine faith in his mission. ... On Feb. 5, 1779, George Rogers Clark and his troops crossed the Kaskaskia river and started in the dead of winter on the long journey to Vincennes. This army was composed of only 178 men, a drummer boy and a leader of only 26. Yet it captured Fort Sackville and won a new empire of 248,000 square miles, just one-tenth of the present area of the United States of today. ‘That is something to think about every time those who are the heirs of these men of the revolution use one of the sesquicentenary postage stamps being put out now in honor of the deeds of George Rogers Clark. It is a small tribute to.the man, but it is a great step forward in giving him a true place in the hall of fame of great Americans. ' RIVAL OF AUTO INDUSTRY In years to come, when individuals consider the history of commercial flying and popularization of aviation, they will probably mark Lindbergh's flight to Paris as its turning point. It needed an achievement of that sort to dramatize the possibilities of flying. A successful long- distance flight proved that the airplane was practicable. From the day in 1903, when the Wrights first flew at Kitty Hawk, intrepid and danger-loving souls experi- mented with flying, but the public generally was afraid of the airplane and believed that its principal use would flight is practical for all travelers, Commercial aviation and airplane manufacture on @ large scale were slow in taking root in the United States, but it has becen left to the ited States to duplicate, in aviation, the phenomenal growth of the @uiomobil: industry. . At the second annual all-American aircraft show held this month in Detroit there were exhibits by 61 aircraft ompentes, In additlon 60 firms manufacturing aircraft running into hundreds of millions of dollars confront the nation. From a psychological standpoint it were better to end the next fiscal year with a surplus than to cut taxes now and boost them a ycar hence to méct a; serious deficit. Before the Hoover administration are flood control, farm relief, Boulder Dam and cruiser construction. Each is a costly proposition which may prove, before comple- tion, far more expensive than now supposed. President Hoover feels that the government should prosecute those Pro!-cts to a satisfactory consummation whatever the Cost, and congress se¢ms likewise disposed. So the best the tax-burdened can hope for is that the government's obligations will fall far bsiow estimates and its revenues increase far beyond the most optimistic Buese. THE SPEED OF THE PLANE The advantages of aerial travel arc strikingly demon- strated by the action of David 8. Ingalls, assistant sec- retary of the navy in charge of aeronautics, who com- mutes, week-ends, from Washington to his hoite in Cieveland. 4 Flying his own plane, Ingalls is able to reach his Cleveland home in less than three hours from the time he ‘eaves Washington. When he closes his desk Satur- day noon he jumps in his plane and gets to the Ohio city in plenty of time for dinner. Then he has Saturday night and all day Sunday and Sunday night at his home, taklig off at 7 o'clock Monday morning and setting bac!: to the capital in ample time to begin the new wee's's work. The speed which the airplane gives is seldom better exemplified than in Ingalls’ case, With that example before them, how long will it bé before business men Gencrally begin to follow suit? TO RECONDITION THE HARTFORD Admiral -Farragut's old flagship, the Hartford, lies in the navy yard at Charleston, 5. C. The navy depart. men’ he; just rejected the request of New London, Conn., that, the ship be towed there for exhibition as @ patriotic memorial to the great Civil war sailor. The Hartford, the navy department explains, is not seaworthy enough to make the trip, and the department has no funds with whieh to recondition it. It will be recalled, in this connection, that even the Constitution is not being reconditioned at the navy's expense, the General public having contributed the necessary money. Erie, Pa., spent its own monty to recondition oné of Admiral Perry's squadron, and the ship now draws many tourists annually to Erie. Probably the cost of recon- ditioning the Hartford would be more than New London would care to shoulder. It might be worth the city’s while, however, to look into the matter. AN ORIGINAL THIEF One would think that the business of thievery ‘no longer offered any chance for originality. Surely, in all the Years that men have been stealing things, every- thing stealable had already been stolen at some time or other. But in Biddeford, Me., the other day a truly original thief popped up. He went to a public park and stole eight Civil war cannon balls, weighing 100 pounds each, which had rested in a neat, ornamental little pyramid for something like 40 years. What on earth any man would want with eight 100- pound spheres of iron is hard te tell. And how any thief would lug such trophies away with him is another matter that piques the imagination. The Biddeford thief, at any rate, was original. He managed to steal something | ™F that nobody had ever thought of stealing before. NOT SO VERY FUNNY The homecoming of young Tom Heflin, Jr., has stirred many citizens to a good deal of mirth. The young man’s hilarious arrival in New York, his eagerness to sce Al Smith an@ “tell him there's no hard feeling,” and the contrast between these actions and his father’s record as 8 bitter anti-Smith dry, have taken on a humorous aspect in a great many minds, Really, though, there isn't anything so screamingly funny about it. The spectacle of a much-loved son com- ing home to his father intoxicated never was really amus- ing. However much you may disagree with Sénator Heflin’s public record, it is hard not to sympathize with him right now. Midd!> age may be defined as that period when you reelize that a plan dossn’t indicate anything in par- ticular. A Western university professor figures that indulging in 175,200 kisses shortens a lifetime by precisely one year. “Come, de the news, | Editorial Comment CHICAGO'S SCARFACE SOCRATES (Renville County Farmer) The. ancients reepected all sorts of philosophers, Th were eternal ssekers after truth, So they lstened es them al It is well to remember tha hen we ead the latest estimate of himself given by Scarface Al Capone, Chicago's modern Sicilian Socrates.

Yet the town is pastoral indeed that does not have a Capone or Moran in the making. For this reason Mr. Capone's estimate of himself is interesting.

(Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) oe lM BB A PIONEER DRAMA One hundred and forty-three years ago tonight. on April 16, 1786, an audience gathered in the John Street theater in Boston to witness the pre- miere of the first comedy written by an American. It was “Tne Contrast,” by Royall Tyler, a Harvard graduate who after- ward became chief justice of Vermont. Oddly enough, the plot of this pioneer play was as modern as one which might be offered to a present day talkie audience. The title came from the contrast between the traveler veneerd by Euro: pean society and the rustic Ame can. Most-of the comedy was sup- plicd by Jonathan, a Yankee servant, wo delivered his jokes with a New England twang. Aside from the fact that it was a pioneer, “The Contrast” was not remarkable as a play. As early as 1760 there were the ters in New York and Philadelphia, *| but the frowns of Puritans and Quak- sent yers delayed any real development of the drama.

Many who have just become inter- ested in the daily health articles may need some further explanation. How Diet Cures Those who are just beginning to study dietetics will too often think that food can be used in the way we used to think medicine could be; given, that is, that certain foods could be given for certain diseases. You have all read a great deal of nonsense about “brain-building” foods and about foods good for the heart, liver, or some of the other organs. While it is not true that any one kind of food can cure any one disease, it is nevertheless true that the tak- ing away of certain kinds of food can have a definite effect in bringing about the cure of different diseases. The ordinary table contains plenty of variety of foodstuffs. Disease de- velops because too many of these foods are used at a time—too much of certain Jsinds of food is eaten— and because the body does not prop- erly eliminate its toxins. Disease thus develops because of dieictic errors and faulty elimination. Of course, men- tal influences, environment, habits of exercise, etc., all play their part. The progressive physician of today, and the millions of people making up the masses, know these facts to be true. . Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the brilliant English physician, has, after a life- time of surgical practice and the! use of medicines, finally come to the conclusion that good health depends upon “diet and drainage,” which is the same thing as saying that disease is caused by errors in diet and inef- ficient elimination. In more than twenty years of practice, I have never found any other factors which are so important in the study of disease and health as food and elimination! oe “The Dawes plan was a great idea— an act.

Although the burden of social dis- approval falls heavily upon profes- sional gambling, we all take pleasure in its milder, amateur forms. Has not every church fair some e is asked to take chances? And | what is “taking chances” if not a form of gambling? We bet that we may win a sewing machine or an automobile for 50 cents. To be sure, the odds are against us, but it is fun to take the chance. Children share with the rest of hu- manity this delight in taking chances. jaeey gamble for tops and marbles, ind, in acute adolescence, for the money of their allowances. Pal attitude shall we take to- rds this youthful vice? ‘Shall we be shocked? Shall we lay down the law, feeling that no matter what is permissible in those of. maturer years, youth must not meddle with subtle discriminations? Must youth ’ {learn without compromise that black is black and white is white? Such a course will not serve the ends which we desire. For if children are forbidden their childish games of chance, or even those which look quite like the accepted pastimes in- dulged in by their elders; they will only resort to them on the sly, so is far more sensible to let them e their fill of this diversion. Let them lose their tops and marbles, the money of Ser aio malice, their hard Pennies even, if they choose. This is the best Possible way to learn that when you take chances you may lose, and when you lose there is No use squealing about it.
