Yoes (3 Knapp, who was found guilty State money in New York the 1925 State census, was selécted Secretary of State in the Empire State. She was given control by the Legislature of the census taking because the Legislature desired to deprive Gov. Smith of the patronage. When the frauds were discovered by Gov. Smith's appointive Secretary of State Rob- ert Moses the investigation and prosecution of the case was entrusted by Gov. Smith to the Attorney-General, the only elective Republican official in the State. His first attempt resulted in a mistrial through disagreement of the jury. In the second trial a verdict of guilty was obtained. Mrs. Knapp was one of the women Republi- can leaders of the upire State, and was nom- inated for the off of Secretary of State so that women might have representation on the ticket. She defeated a Democratic woman for the office by a substantial majority.: It will not be claimed by of course, that Mrs. Knapp’s conduct any political significance. Her politics and simply incidental. It not so however, that the ecir- cumstance that Mrs, made census director bec of political patronage motives was not significant. It is possible that it sug- gested padded payrolls to her.

Where do our migrating shore birds go when they leave their breeding grounds in the northern- most s of North America for the south in the winter? Many persons would reply that they supposed the birds go to the marshes along the Gulf coast or perhaps down into Mexico and Cen- tral America. Such an answer would be in error, for many, if not most, of birds live in summer season practically the whole year around. When they leave their northern home early in fall, it is to fly southward into spring in South American localities more or less similar to those they quent in their northern summer months. woodcock, according Dr. Alexander Wetmore, formerly biologist in the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture and Bow Assistant Seeretary of the Smithsonian In- stitution, is the only species of shore bird hunted @8 game that does not in part cross the Equator during its southern flights On peptember 6, 1920, in the Chaco in western Paraguay and noticed ‘gthe first flights of golden plovers to arrive “there. On the same day a party under Franecis Harper, of the Biclogical Survey, observed golden Pplovers that had not yet left Lake Athabaska in ~ porthern Alberta, Canada.

Olympian.) omething of a surprise that L celebrated the tenth an- niversary of the air mail, the explanation may lie in the fact that it is only within the past two years that its remarkable growth has forced new aeronautical development into public consciousne: The air mail rather languished ars after its inauguration, but since witnessed a burst of activity which (Olympia 13 J e the h 1926 we bave sems to know no limits. In 19 the Post Office Department was op- erating the transcontinental air route, but there were no feeder lines. Today under private op- tion mail is carried on this same route at rates than one-half those authorized by the con- t air mail law, there are fifteen feeder lines in operation, five routes which are under contract will commence operation in the near future and advertisements are pending for four more, These routes total 14,017 miles and the post office schedules call for 30,366 miles of flying each d n increase of more than 342 per cent. in two year In January, carried 23,195 pound 1926, the Post Office Department of mail; in January, 1928, the pr te lines carried 144,289 pounds, with an additional 34,777 carried over foreign air mail routes. Passengers and express were also carried over most of the lines. The United States may boast also of the first and only lighted air routes in the world. The start was made with the lighting of the airway from New York to Salt Lake. By the end of the present year it is expected that the total distance s0 equipped for night flying will be approximately 7,500 miles. Radio control" stations also are in operation and a special aeronautical meteorologi- cal service is rapidly being developed. Here is field of aeronautical activity in which the United States has pointed the way to the rest of the world, a record of which we have every reason to be proud. If this lusty ten-year- old infant continues its phenomenal growth of the past two years the country will soon be criss- crossed with air mail routes. “Every indication points to even greater growth in the near future,” writes Secretary of Commerce Hoover in an article in Aero Digest which gives the foregoing statistics. ‘“The United States,” he adds, “leads the world in all forms of commercial aviation with the exception of pas- senger carrying schedule. Before long this excep- tion should cease to exist.” On the Wabash. (New York Times.) We fail to see why our contemporaries should experience such great difficulty in interpreting the results of the Indiana primary. The lessons are obvious. Secretary Hoover was strong in the Indiana cities and weak in the rural coun- ties. But Al Smith's strength is also in the urban centers. This points inevitably to the nomination of Hoover as the only man who can stop Al Smith in the cities, But Al Smith is sure to carry the cities against any Republican can- didate and the Republicans must concentrate on the rural vote. This points inevitably to the nomination of Lowden. But Lowden is regarded with disfavor in the Rast, This makes inevitable the nomination of Mr. Coolidge. But Mr. Cool- idge is going to veto the Farm Relief bill. This makes certain the nomination of Mr. Dawes. But Mr. Dawes stands too close to Mr. Lowden. This compels the nomination of Mr. Hughes. But Mr. Hughes's liberal stand about the Socialist Assem- blymen at Albany in 1920 makes him unaccept- able to the Ku Klux Klan. This assures the nomination of Senator Heflin.. With the truth about Indiana thus available in a nutshell, it only remains to reconcile the different views about what happened to Mr. Hoov- er by the proofreader’s test. Senator Watson he has brought Hoover to a full stop. The correspondents in Washington think that Mr. Hoover has suffered only a semicolon. Mr, Hoov- er's managers insist that Indiana was only a comma, marking a short pause before the final sprint for the end of the sentence. Governor Smith is at least able to understand that the work of conducting a political acmpaign involves something besides blackguarding the op- position.—(Detroit Free Press.)
