When an automobile hit a mail | box, smashing it and dumping its contents on the sidewalk, one of the | common occurrences in connection with mail boxes and automobiles came to light.

But somewhere in the stars that Lindbergh is not to | | take any unnecessary chances. Our idea of nothing about is how much Mr. Hoover “dis- rupts” Republican politics in Ohio. The Ohio gang has been under ‘wholesome suspicion ever since the« days of Mr. Harding and anyone who can upset the political appl- cart in that state is a public bene- factor. Another bad smash-up—with two dead—occurred at an unprotected crossing, this time in Forestville. This ie how the analysis turns out: The crossing was protected from 6a m tod p. m At 9:23 p. m. the collision took place. Distressing as it may scem, it us- ually requires such events to impress the railroad company and the pub- lic authorities with the protecting crossings with watchmen until midnight, or even later.

If the railroad com- as public interest demands, let it at least be conalderate enough of hu- man life to protect its death traps. THE LONE EAGLE ENDS GREAT TOUR It was & nervous day in news- | paper offices. Long before the public had become aware that the Lone Eagle w during the course of his flight from Havana to St. Louis thousands of editors became nervous, they finger- | ed the telegraph news with trepida- | tion, contemplated the possibility of | disaster to the nation's air idol | along the last final lap of the Latin- American tour. The weather bureau added to the prevalent dismay; nothing but bad flying weather was reported along the route. The quiet terror of the situation | was maintained throughout the day. Papers went to press the country over, and for all the editors who continued their vigil until long after press tima knew the situation was Sk e eacnt sy ocari e Britalr unimproved. From here and there came reports that an airplane had | been heard zooming beyond the could discern Spirit of St. nobody the clouds, but whether it was | Loule. Doubt was left in command Finally, | until late in the afternoon. shortly after 6 p. m., came the flash that the colonel had landed at Lam- bert fleld, St. Louis. despite a trip beset with fog. rain Then the hoys in the news winds. paper offices were willing to call it | a day. This ending of the third major flight of the aviator in less than a year, therefore, turns out as success- ful as {its forerunners. was the unparalleled trip across the Atlantic; then the good will flight over a majority of the states of the Union, and latterly the FPan-Amer- | a most spectacular alr | ican flight, conquest of lands which hitherto in large measure had never been visit- ed by a plane. To have had the | colonel fail on the last lap of this journey would have been a blow of terrific anguish for his nation it is writ fail, gured the tors yesterday that need to worry were right. no need to worry when Lindy carves | his career in the skies. The newspaper hoys who as- nervous telegraph edi- There is Since Colonel Lindbergh attained | public recognition less than a year ago he has flown 40,000 miles in the Spirit of &t Louis. It seems to have been but yesterday that his name be- | gan to be mentioned the dis- patches, at first three and four line items from points west; in New York, which instantly caused a public whose eyes were centered upon other ambitious fliers to take due notice of the young man's air thrust across the continent. And then the nonchalant drive across the Atlantic wastes. From that time on ajr history has been made as never before, and the ace of the flying heroes has remained the quiet, assuming youth who got there as the world gaped. The international team of *We" is now entitled to a rest, if the hu- man part of the team can induce himself to stay in one place for any length of time. This is doubtful, perhaps. But the public would be best pleased if the colonel, despite his inherent restlessness, did not Rest- ing on his laurels may be contrary to Lindy's inborn characteri but three great flights in one 3 four it the trip from 8an Diego to New York is included as such—is enough.

But sup- pose Hoover is nominated; the Willls campaign stories will stick to a cer- tain extent and many an embattled farmer will conclude that there is fire in the election when there was 50 much smoke in the primary.

Savings have been {achieved here and there, and taxes have been reduced; likewise the pub- [1ic debt is lower. But some money spending is in sight and it is not al- together certain whether all of the | contemplated expenditures are eminently essential te the public | welfare; or even if so, there is the possibility that some of the projects ! will cost more than necessary. | Small wender that Chairman Mad- 'den of the House appropriations | committee is worricd. He is natural- |1y of a nervous disposition. He warn- d against ‘“excessive appropria- | tions,"” to be sure, but who is listen- ing? Isn't this a campaign year, and | ien’t it one of the prime principles of succeastul politics in Washington that the boys in Congress must bring home some sort of bacon at least once every four years, prefer- |ably before the election campaign? | Listen to the list of contemplated | expenditures as enumerated by the chairman of the appropriations com- mittee himself: | Naval program, “perhaps” a bil-| | lion dollars. Flood relief, without «tint, and perhaps $450,000,000, Farm relief, without limit Boulder dam, from $125,000.000 to $500,000,006, probably the latter. Muscle Shoals, approximately $7,- {000,000, Alien property, $100,000,000, Washington government buildings, $125,000,000. Publie buildings, | $200,000,000. Miecellaneous, about $6,000,000, All in all, this is a bagatelle of merely $2,000,000,000. This is a great government, but even two bil- lion dollars look perilously like the costs of conducting a war. In spite of everything, there will be a reduction in taxes. Chairman Madden is frank and naive about | | how this will be achieved. The esti- mated surplus will be $252,000,000, and this can be used in bringing $100,000,000 fo ' |about a tax reduction of $290,000,- 000. Sounds like having the duck and eating it, but they do queer things with figures nowadays. After election we probably will | hear that there is a possibility that The | there will be no tax reduction he minds of many an observing | chairman is equally frank in this as | {in other things.
