A press dispatch from Des Moines says: Non-committal acceptance at Wash- ington by Senators Cummins und son of lowa of the I of the W. Brookhart landslide for United States senator aroused speculation in old guard circles here today as to how Brookhart would fit into the republican party machiner: ‘When Mr. Beveridge won his nomi- nation some curiosity was expressed as to how he would fit into the re- publican party machinery in Indiana. He himself had no doubt about the matter, and promptly made overtures for united party action at the polls, which were accepted when the state convention met. ‘When Mr. Pinchot won his nomina- tion, inquiry of this character w heard in Pennsylvania. Would the so-called old guard support him? He had run as a republican, been nomi- nated by’ a substantial majority as a republican, and it was now up to the republicans—old guard and new guard—to elect him. erances as the alike, and Penroseites and Pinchotites have a common duty to perform. And now comes, this lowa result. ‘There can be no doubt about repub- lican sentiment in the state respecting the senatorship. Mr. Brockhart has won the nomination handily, and as the party's candidate is entitled to the support of every republican in the commonwealth. 1f republicans in these states, or in any state. take their factionism to the polls in November, it will be with snicidal intent, and they will achieve their end. The Saloon in the Campaign. In a formal pronouncement of the wets this statement appears: “We are opposed to the return of the saloon, but we do advocate that beers and light wines be removed from the pro: hibitory list.” The reply of the drys is that that removal will necessarily bring beck the saloon. If the sale of beers and light wines is resumed there must be places opened for vending them, and those places can, and will, be con- verted into meeting places for men seeking “the strong stuff.” There is a good deal of “‘the strong stuff”” remaining, and a little encour- agement. will increase the supply. Bootlegging is profitable. “Hootch,” under its several names—'jump- steady,” “white mule” and “moon- shine'—finds a ready market at high- ly remunerative figures; and once re- strictions are even indirectly lowered the manufacture will be stimulated. The saloon, by name, and as it had become by use, has no professed friends among those who are in the forefront of the wet campaign. Long before its deors were closed it con- noted ‘much that was lowest in life and demoralizing in wage-earning cir- cles. Good men of easy nature made retreat there, and wasted money which should have gone for the sup- port of their familles. ‘When the campaign for control of the next Congress gets into its stride we shall hear much about the saloon, how dead it is, if dead at all, and how it may be brought back to life and action again. —_—————— Shipping facilities for world needs are compelled to pay attention to na: } tional influences more or less disposed + to rock the boat. ——————— ‘While China is engaged in a revo- + lution, Japan gets by with a mere cab- ! inet crisis.

In The Star yesterday was printed am letter from the Peruvian ambassa- ‘,dur, Mr. Pezet, suggesting that the 3 most eloquent memorial to the Ameri- “cans who served in the late war ‘would be a bridge thrown across the Potomac from the Lincoln Memorial “to Arlington. It is well that this.sug- { gestion has been advanced again, ithough it takes a novel form. The original thought for & memorial bridge ‘was to symbolize the reunion between the north and the south. The bridge would be, it was urged, a physical token of the political and social re- union of the sections. It would stretch from the federal capital to " the valhalla of America, formerly the Tome of the military chieftain of the southern armies. Its use on cere- monial occasions would bring Ameri- cans of all parts of the country into harmony with the thought of reunion. Mr. Pezet's suggestion is that the memorial bridge should serve as a tribute to those who sustained the American flag in the late war. This extends the idea of the memorial, and it may well be considered as a rein- forcing thought. It comes happily from one who has in the course of his service at this capital as repre- sentative of one of the South Amer- ican republics entered thoroughly into the American life arid has been at all times understandingly sympathetic with Américan ideéas. Mr. Pézet is well qualified to urge this undertaking. In a few months the bridge at Géorgetown, which it is hoped will be known officially as thé Key bridge, in Honor of ‘the- author of “The Star Stangled Banner,” will be open to uk Bolldteg. | 1mo., T0¢ | THE EVENING STAR,|sid that there are sumctent factities of communication between Washing- ton and the Virginia shore. It will be still necessary to have a third means of access, and especially one in @ direct line involving no detours for reaching Arlington. Plainly the na- tional cemetery in Virginia will be increasingly the scene of large assem- blages. There lie the dead of all the wars in which this country has been men of both riorth and south. There rises a national temple, an auditorium where gather thousands upon com- memorative occasions. Even with the Highway and Key bridges fn e there will be no means of maintaining a ceremonjal procession from the city to the eemetery owing to the presence t car tracks on those bridges and the need of using them for ordinary | traffic. : In the Hght of the experience on Armistice day, which so clearly’proved the need, it is to be hoped that this subject of a memorial bridge will be kept to the front in the minds of legislators, without regard for the present Treasury stringency, Wwhich will surely pass and which will, in any case, not be permitted indefinitely to delay the execution of such & work. War Wounded at the White House. The assemblage of 2,000 disabled soldiers at the White House yesterday as the guests of President and Mrs. Harding was an impressive occasion. These men all bear the wounds of war. Some are permanently disabled, some are regaining their full faculties. As they were gathered at the White House, however, they. all displayed a remarkable spirit of cheerfulness and philosophy in the face of their physical misfortunes. If there were any who 1 were despondent or low in mind be- cause of wounds or disease contracted in their service they were cheered un- doubtedly the many manifestatfons of affectionate regard and considera- tion given by the President and his His first deliv-| wife and by the head of the Army. nominee were ad-| dressed to old guard and new guard |y It cannot be said that this country neglectful of the men who suffered r. They have received every s trention and have been given the benefit of the most effective aids to recovery and rehabilitation. They have been the subject of the most thoughtful study as to how they should “best be cared for and their futures safeguarded. Perhaps mis- takes have been made and possibly some injustice has been done in & few instances. The task was a great one and facilities had to be devised and quickly provided, leaving much to be desired at times in details. But on the whole the government has dis- charged this duty with remarkable efiiciency and with the highest con- sideration for the welfare of those who have suffered. The most gratifying thought in con- nection with any assemblage of the Ian' wounded is that so large a per- |centage of them are regaining their health and being restored to virtually full activity. Wondefful advances have been made in the matter of cor- recting the evil consequences of war. Through surgery, appliances, and es- pecially through training, practicaily all who have survived their hurts have been or are being put in the way of self-maintenance. Some of them have found more advantageous lines of wark than ever before. In a definitely human way President Harding understands the feelings of the men who yesterday were his guests at the White House. He greets them as friends, as fellows, with a consideration- that s not pity, but is sympathy, which is better. Such an attitude cannot fail to help along toward the fullest possible recovery those who are still struggling upward from the depths of their suffering. ——— English gcientists claim that this country's Interference with the gulf stream {s causing a British warm wave.

Battleships and Planes. Successful launching of a plane with crew and passengers from the deck of the battleship Maryland thakes a definite and important advance in the developmernt of the airplane as a naval auxiliary. It is, indeéd, an achievément of value in respeot to the commercial use of thé heavier- than-air machine. Herétofore only small, light planés without passéngers have been launchéd from ships. Now it is proved to be possible safely to start service seaplanes from floating stages, and probably every battleship will eventually be equipped with the necessary mechanism for such serv- ice. A battleship which carries its own high-powen. plane gréatly ineféasés its radius of efficiency. It may send out a scout capable of flying & high speed over long distancés and returning with information or transmitting it by radio. In fighting formation thé destroyers are the scouts of the fleet | at presént. With battleships equipped with planes for obsetvatioh purposes the radius of speedy scouting is great- ly widened, for tlie plane has from three to four times the speed of the fastest destroyer. Moreover, its ability surface, greatly extgends the.scope of observation. Furthermore, the air- of the battleship's equipment in- creases it§ offensive power throwgh the usé of bombs.

A 5 Tariff Maneuverings. Say the republicans to the demo- crats in the Senate on the tariff ques- tjon: “If this bill is s bad as you fel- lows describe and will defeat us at the polle, why not get out of the way and {let us' pass it? We are willing, even eager, 1o take the risk. Ours is the responsibility, and this is our' bill. If you will permit an early vote on it other measures, now halted, can get through.” Say the democrats in reply: “If this bill is as good as you fellows describe, why not a full discussion of it? What differénce will it make whether the final vote is called July 1 or October 1? According to your contention, the voters will approve the meusure in November in any circumstances. Dan't hurry, or try to hurry us.” As a matter of fact, what is in progress on Capitol Hill is a conven- tional, familiar performance. A fili- buster is on. Both parties in their time have played the game successfully. The democrats played it in 1890 against the McKinley bill, which they held up until within a few weeks of election day. As the measure had not had time to demonstrate its value, it was condemned on clamor. The demo- crats carried the House that year, and two years later both the Congress and the presidency. The republicans played it in 1894 against the Gorman-Wilson bill, which they held up until within a few months of election day and helped to put into such shape Mr. Cleveland would not sign it. The result was the republicans carried the House that year, and two years later both the Congress and the presidency. ‘The democrats are again at the bat, and swinging the willow for all it is worth. The Session and the Campaign. Two propositions are advanced in support of early closing on Capitol Hiil. ‘ One is that thereby senators and representatives who are cgndidates to succeed themselves would be free to g0 home and take personal charge of their campaigns. Long-distance work, whether by mail or wire, is attended with risk. The presence of the can- didate on the field directing matters stimulates everybody. His proper place is therd and naturally he wants to be there. The second proposition is that.the session’s record should be complete before the campaigns for election get into full stride. If Congress is still in sesson—plugging away, now in an | obstinate humor about one thing, and now in an accommodating humor about another thing—candidates of the same party may find themselves at cross-purposes on the stump. The thing to do is to start-with the same appeal for votes, and keep it up. Persuasive as both of these proposi- tions are, however, it is clear that, un- less the matter can be well managed, early closing might be expensive for the republicans. They might find that they had paid far too much for their whistle, and were whistling in vain for votes. The appearance of having run away from embarrass. ments—of having put up the shutters in a state of helplessness and in a spirit of disgust—would heavily handi- cap them until, and on,_election day. The democrats would stress it from every stump and voters would be at- tentive to the argument.

A tourth factor—the Aero Club of Wasaington—but which will not exert as much national influence as the uther three institutions, is soon to get under way. Thus aerial activity here, both ad- ministrative and physical, will be carried on to a degree never before attained at & time nat far distant, in- dications from every quarter point. * K ¥ % Reports reaching Washington tend to show ch enthusfasm over a movement now under way conducted by the National Aeronautic Associa- tion for “more air power for the United States of America.” Flying districts are being organized and air boards " to supervise local aviation are in the process of formation. This laerial stride s looked upon to au ment commerce, make for further de- velopment of the aircraft industry, and provide a reserve in case of war. Of the three results that will be derived from a campaign for a large and eflicient civil and commercial air fleet, the last will be the most far reaching. Army officers and civillans Who have made an exhaustive study of the nossibilities of peace-time avi- ation point out that in the event of war a_ well trained and extensive force of aerial fighters could be ready for duty virtually overnight. The results of the next war, they declar will be dependent on -the size of the nation’s air power. Theé country that has a fleet that can be sent to the clouds on a moment's notice will have & decided advantage from the begin- ning which will be difficult to over- come, if at all.

EDITORIAL DIGEST Ruth Furnishes Amusement to His Friends the Editors The suspension of Babe Ruth fof challenging the universe to fistic com- bat after an unsuccessful encounter with an Inoffensive umpire, and his subsequent speedy reinstatément by Ban Johnson, has served to distract the attention of the editors of the country from other more momentous affaira of state. They have had l' pleasant time discuesing the case; some seriously demanding that Ruth be made to realize that the game is bigger than the player, while others, in a more or less ribald fashion, an- nexed persopal amusement from the Bambino's experiences. But the com- ment served to show, if nothing else, that the interest in.the game and in the personality of the “king of swat” is by no means confined to the sport- ing pages. There must be absolute cleanliness in all sports that depend on the pub- lic for support, the Butte Miner is convinced, because “no one player is bigger than the game! No sort of rowdyism can be tolerated in_or- ganized base ball or any other kind that hopes to hold public favor. The best thing that could happen would be Ruth's retirement from the game until he fully realized that base ball i will not stand for temperamental or any other kind of rowdyism.” But even though all that may be ‘=o, the Burlington News agrees Ban John- son knew what he was about in as- sessing the minimum penalty because “with no regard for the right or wrong of the Ruth case, how often do we go behind the slenes to at- tempt to find reason for a discredita- i After all we suppose it is merely a reversion to the working: of the golden rule that is réquired, but it is all too true that rule is on covered With that Ruth has head turned by hero shipers” will not excuse, in the view of the New Orleans States, “hoodium- ism of the kind of which he was dust. had hi Bu}lly 1f President Johnson erred In his | punishment it was on the side of leniency, the Binghamton Sun says, because “if the big stick wielder can- not control his emotions and temper batter than hé did then the game will | I8 that of the {deal. be better off without him. It is to be hoped that he will profit by the example and forget that he is béhind in the race for home-run honors and try to do his level best to help-win the American League pennant for the Yankees.” The Savannah Press points Ruth to discover that the fans can change their attitude, the Hartford Times points out. as “this expérience, about which Ruth could have learned much from Aristides and Woodrow Wilson, may e the influence which will e a good ball player from the perils of self-worship induced by mob worship.” The Grand Rapid® Press inquires whether “it {s the fact of the slump which makes the be angry or whether it is the fact of his .anger which is responsible for his o whilée the Milwaukeée Senti gests that the razzing of the crowd made Ruth angry, and the admiration of the molf gallery “obviously fussed” President Harding in his recent com- petition, adding that “those who llke to observe human nature in the great- est of us may speculate on the un- suspectéd frallties of heroes placed fn novel surroundings. - These little lapses make them geem more human. @ gét a pleasing sense of kinship with them and a conviction that, after all, great men are fundamental- ly fashioned out of the same clay as ordinary people. Is Pocahontas a Legend? This is the date set for the unveil- ing of a statue of Pocahontas, the Indian girl who rescued John Smith. Her statue has been set up at James. town, Va., to perpstuate her fame. ‘The Pocahontas Memorial Assoclation, | which has been in existence for a dozen years, raised the money in all parts of the country, most of it in dollar bills. It {8 not surprising that on such &n occasion as this there should arise certsin historfoal oritics who say that the story of Poéahontas’ rescuing John Smith from efecution is only a legend, and that John Smith himgelf was considerabls of & fakir. No his- torical observance is completq in this age of analytical criticism Without an expose 6f this sort. Pocahontas is no worse off than other famous char- “i:;"' 'd 3 gend or no léegend, it is hard to kill off the love which a people have for the stories of old-time heroes.

The statue at Jamestown, erected more than 300 years after the event which it commemorates, represents an |Indlan princess in a strong and be- nevolent attitude. Her arms are is friendly, her costume tI modest maiden. The represéntation The unvelling of this figure is to be by lineal descend- ants of Pocahontas. There is a distinct value in theirep- resentation of historic characters in the permanent form of statues that re {dealized. Pocahontas, for In- stance, teaches the virtue of self-sac- out that Ruth “doesn’t seem to have, {mproved after. his probation. It was to be hoped that his-long discipline imposed by Judge Landis would be . wholesome.” ~ One other thing that the incident has demonstrated, the Worcester Telegram recalls, was that base ball spectators themselves fail to exercise self-control. ' Attacks on the umpire and the like it tHinks &rs inexcusable and may be due to the fact that “there is monéy at stake on the game. But “in any case” it continues, “the club owners, man- agers and playsrs have the greater responsibility. 1t may be IMpossible to force a crowd to show spbrtsman- ship, but the teams themselves may be. made to show it.” Yet, “whether he is idol or {dle makes 4 mighty blg difference to Babe,” the Canten Re pository thinks, “although the words when said have & similar sound.” Ruth's failure to ‘“come back” i really sad snough to be a tragedy. 'the Columbia State suggests, buf what strikes it “as rather curiously intriguing _about the -incidént, or ‘tragedy, I8 that the commentators and historiang fail to recognisé in the swift betrayal or desertion of the fans, otherwise the mob, or demons, or populace, the most natural reac- tion known to mankind.
