The state and the nation, in offering and|former commander-in-chief of the fuenishing necessary assistance in the caring for the homeless and bereft and . in protecting them from the aftermath of the catastrophe, have given prac- tical evidence of their sympathy for * Pueblo in her dark hour. That sympathy is naturally the pre- dominant sentiment of today. Latest reports indicate that the work of re- covery has been halted by additional inundations of the city. The nation { anxiously awaits assurance that the worst is over and that the task of restoration may be undertaken. For with that assurance once given it knows ‘that the people of Pueblo, in facing the task before them, will find - their greatest comfort. The quality ; of resolution and courage is typical of the west.

A number of Japa- nese legislators have recently arrived in this country, returning a visit paid to Japan last year by a number of American legislators. As the Ameri- cans were hospitably entertained in Japan, the Japanese will be hospitably entertained in America. They come, too, at a good time, because we are discussing some questions of particular interest to both countries, and we can get at first hand through our visitors the full Japanese point of view. That should help to settle satisfactorily the differences that exist between the two countries. And now this exchange of visite be- tween men in high naval commission in the two countries will add to the store of a better understanding and welcome in America, and foregathers in all cordiality with old naval class- mates, they will be very welcome in Japan next year and foregather with In naming Adolph A.

This appointment places on the local bench a man of high character, long . familiarity with the local laws and practice and of the judicial tempera- i ment, one in all respects worthy of the % trust thus imposed. This appointment is particularly gratifying inasmuch as it was recom- mended by the District bar at one of the largest meetings in the history of the association, with unprecedented unanimity. This' presages perfect confidence in the capacity of the newly named justice on the part of men who have had long acquaintance with him | and who will soon conduct cases be- fore him. It is also most commendable in that the appointee is a life-time ‘Washingtonian.

Futile Aviation Sacrifices. A few weeks ago a young woman established a world record for con- ) tinuous airplane looping by her sex, * making 199 complete circles on one flight. Yesterday she started out to ibreak this record at Garden City, L. L., and after making one loop and rising to a height of about 1,800 feet she lost control of her machine, which plunged to the ground and she was killed. An examination of the wreck may dis- «close the cause of the accident, which, however, must remain in ary case a matter of speculation. At present the pnly clue to the cause of the tragedy 3s the fact that the fiyer's seat cushion | fell from the seat before it reached ‘the ground, and it is belleved that she “had not been securely strapped and that in making the first loop she slip- ped and in some manner lost control of the machine. However that may be, thig accident adds to the long rec-| ord of aviation casualties which have in no wise advanced the cause of human flight. Miss Bromwell, who was killed yes- _ - terday, was an example of the people . Who are willing to risk their lives for ‘the seke of employment and notariety. credit all talk about war between America and Japan, and to emphasize the fact that representative men and sentiment in both countries are for continued friendship and peace. A Gifted Musician. The death of Prof. Samuel M. l“lbhnl is a profound shock to the community in which he had been an active figure for thirty years. One of the most gifted of the local musicians and in- structor in his career here of many | hundreds of students, some of whom have gained high distinction as a re- sult of his training, he was a distinct contributor to the cultural life of the capital. Prof. Fabian was always gen- erous in the gift of his talents and services. During the Music week which closed on the eve of his death he was active. His gracious personality, his keen enthusiasm for music and his sincere appreciation of the talents of the younger musicians of Washing- ton were qualities that endeared him ————one The Tulsa rioting has been linked up in suspicion with desires to dis- possess the original owners of oil lnnda‘[ in Oklahoma. This is based on a be- lief that the oil wild-catting is grow- ing wilder than ever. So much remarkable astronomical information is being developed that Mr. Edison ought to be able to put out a much harder questionnaire next year. No great political concern is caused by the report that D'Annunzio devotes much time to reading his poems aloud. —_—————— Mr. Volstead does not seek to dis- guise the fact that enforcement may Fathers’ Day. Yesterday was ‘“Fathers’ day” by a sort of general understanding, though without any force of law. About eight years ago a charter was obtained un- der the laws of Delaware for the cele- bration of the first Sunday of June In each year. It was proposed at the same time to make the institution na- tional. A bill was introduced in Con- gress designating the day, but it failed of passage. Still the custom prevail- ed in some sections and people were encouraged to wear roses on the first June Sunday, just s on Mothers’' day some sort of flower has been in evi- Jence. But Fathers' day was observed yesterday with neglect almost every- where. A father is somewhat taken for granted. He is not a particularly kerolc figure nowadays. He plugs iong and makes the lving—usually, It is accepted as a matter of course that father is on the job. When he falls down the law reaches after him and often punishes him, though some- times he gets away with his sidestep and leaves mother to carry on. Every day is Fathers’ day, just as every day is Mothers’ day. Wearing a rose for one or the other of the honored parents is nice. It is a pleas- ant sentiment and worthy of perpetus- | ters.” B tion. But far more important is the day-by-day regard for father and mother, acceptance of their advice, heeding of their admonition, respect for their experience and consideration for their wishes and obligations. Pa- rental authority is not exactly what it has been in the past. There is more freedom on the part of youth, more independence of thought and action, less restraint and guidance. Many of the young people are like Topay, just growing up. Perhaps it might be well to emphasize by some occasional cere- mony or observance the fact that parenthood is a responsibility, work- ing both ways. The South and Free Trade. Senator Harrison of Mississippi was reopening and dedicating the first ‘White House of the Confederacy. In praising some of the provisions and declaring that the federal Con- stitution would be strengthened by containing them, Mr. Harrison said: “‘And, Oh! that some of our present- day democrats, who, in their selfish desire to enrich a few at the expense of the many, protect one section to the detriment of another, who have join- ed the ranks of those who believe in a protective tariff, would read and memorize that part of the Confed - erate constitution that condemned in the strongest possible language a protective tariff and unanimously laid down the rule that the passage of any such law was forever prohibited by the Confederate congress.” The south of today differs radically from the south of 1861. Sixty years ago the south was the planters’ para- dise. Cotton was king, and, king fash- ion, cotton ruled. Manufacturing had no foothold. Birmingham was scarce- ly on the map. Atlanta was a small town. New Orleans was a trading point, largely for raw cotton. Texas contained not a single city, properly so-called. Today, manufacturing is firmly and profitably established throughout the south. Birmingham is a hive of manu- facturing industry, and a throbbing, progressive city. Atlanta is another. New Orleans handles, in addition to raw cotton, raw sugar and rice and other products in quantities. And in Texas are several cities of large size and commercial importance. ‘Were William L. Yancy to return he would not &know Alabama. Were Robert Toombs to return he would not be able, even with his picturesque vocabulary, to describe Georgia. and Judah P. Benjamin about Louis- iana, with the democratic governor of the state openly advocating a protec- tive tariff? If the Confederacy had succeeded, it would in time have shed its free trade principles and come around to protec- tion, not as a policy for “enriching the few at the expense of the many,” but as a policy for enriching all. —_——— The railroads make it clear that it could use some of the United States money applied for as foreign loans to practical advantage in their own business. —————————— THE EVENING STAR, WAS the orator at the closing ceremonies |Mr. Burleson had some excuse for his held at Montgomery, Ala., Friday night | 2¢tion is the Muncie Star (mdanena-| of the constitution of the Confederacy, [ Publishers in the And | of small support in public opinion, to what would Wigfall say about Texas?| Pring into reproach and contempt any Editorial Dlgest Freedom for the Press. ‘Whea Postmaster General Hays re- moved the restrictions excluding the Liberator, the Mllwaukee Leader and the New York Call from second-class malling privileges the newspapers of the country, regardiess of their opin- fons concerning the policies of the periodicals in question, hailed the step as a victory for the freedom of the press.

World-News (democratic) | adds that if the radicals “talk long enough they will simply talk their cause to death.” Indeed. in the opin- fon of the South Bend Tribune (inde- pendent republican), the Hays edict has the anarchist blow.” One newspaper, at least, feels that the country has suffered a distinct loss In withholding from circulation the radical expression during war time. The St. Louls Globe-Democrat (republican) ~sayk: “The undoubted attempt, beginning with summary ac- tion against redical papers and papers dissent whatever from the adminis- | tration and its professed purposes reached in Mr. Burleson its highest exemplification. It is too early to estimate how much it cost the cou try by intimidating. or at least re- straining. through spurious notions of civic duty, a valuable and construc- tive criticism that might have pre vented waste and abuses.” For the most part, the newspapers content themselves with general praise of the policy of “an adminis- tration of the post office according to to quote the Providence Journal (independent)., instead o according to “bureaucratic method: ‘“There never was a sounder de- cision,” says the Norfolk Ledg- er-Dispatch (independent democratic), and the Grand Rapids Herald (repub- lican) believes “Mr. Hays is vigor- ously right.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch (democratic) finds it “encouraging” to have evidence that the post office is to be ‘“conducted strictly within the law of its being and not trench upon the authority of the courts to Jcall the press to account for abuse of its freedom.” The New York Evening Post (independent) finds Mr. Hays' “statement of principle” a “precedent buttressing the free- dom of the press.” . The Temporary Immigration Law. The day the temporary immigration law, or, if you prefer, the “dictated- by-necessity immigration law,” be- comes effective, will mark an inter- esting turning point in the history of the United States. The spirit of America, despite the act of Congress, says that there was no need of the 3 per cent temporary immigration re- striction. There is only one consola- ion for the American spirit, namely, that this law will only be effective it automat ically ceases. But it still remains a question whether it will not be re- placed by a peimanent one. In the meantime Congress will probably plan the regulation' of future immi- gration by legislation which may be a little bit better or worse in some points than the present temporary immigration law. But this is only a question of the future; the temporary immigration restriction law is already on_our n But there is a funny thing about this law—America must draw boun- dary lines for some countries in Eu- rope whose boundaries are not yet decided by Europe. It is really too bad for America that she must step into such a tan- gle as the European boundary tion.
