There are sections of the country where this class of service could be advantageously employed, and therc- fore the estimates for the next fiscal vear include an item of $50,000 to de- fray the cost of an aerial postal ser- vice.

The Hon been accu democ Joe Cannon has never 2d of any leaning toward He has all of the ear- marks and attributes of conservative | republicanism developed to the high- est pawer. So when we hear him an- nouncing in Washington that he is prepared to stand back of the presi- dent loyally in the carrying out of his international palicy, apne can gather that he is an American first and a re- publican second. This declaration of allegiance to a democratic president does not in the least indicate that there is any wavering in Mr. Cannon’s stal- wart and rather furious republican- ism. It means that he, with many other loyal republicans, has decided that this is a time for us to act as patriotic Americans in all questions of foreign policy rather than as parti- sans.
