Wanted, a Ford for the Air MEX MAKE what we term progress. Henry Ford made automotive transport and auto- motive labor universal in this country. Edison made artificial light universal. It takes a combination of inventive genius and business sagacity to regenerate the earth, and that combination is rare. Ford had it, Edison had it, Burbank had it. That's about all, in this age. , We await an aerial Ford. The small airplane is today as cheap, as practical, and as safe as the small automobile. Outside of a place to light in town, there is no reason why any man who can own a flivver might not own an aeroplane. And there’s a lot more room in the air than there is on the boulevards; and the air costs nothing to pave, There are several billion dollars being wasted in this country every year in good roads, police court fines, depreciation and collision insurance because there is no Henry Ford to produce a cheap airplane in commercial |) quantities, a reliable, fool-proof, air machine, that you } can fold up in your chicken coop, and can make 120 miles an hour in with perfect safety. Such a machine is already available. There is no pio- neering to be done, as there was with the automobile. All we need is a Ford to take hold of the tag ends of avia- tion to make us all fly; and make himself a few hundred million dollars each twelve month. Some day governments will be more interested in inven- tion that promote life than in invention that promote de- struction. If only we could spend a billion next year on making aviation familiar, instead of spending the billion, and more, on “war!” And we won't even get a man-size war for our billion! ee ee ee ee A locust.

The man died in accord with some “natural law” im- * posed by the Creator of All for the Good of All. This explanation must be accepted, or it must be admitted that the little dot in time called human life is merely a trera- bling and most brutal joke. What law was violated is entirely another question, a _ question that is being more and more understood thru the progress of the sciences. We have learned, for instance, why yellow fever carried off thousands of the able-bodied, + and often left the weak and debilitated. Life is full of the mysteries with which His wonders are performed and human prégress will be at a standstill when we cease to study and discover the why of them and adapt ourselves to the good that is in them. The difference between a man dead in his fifties and a hasbeen in an infirmary may lie in what the two had at birth and how they lived, and no single instance of seeming unwisdom or injustice impeaches the Great We are a long way from qualification as a jury of peers for trial of Omniscience. Dodging Income’ Taxes oor of a population of over 110,000,000, only 6,787,481 Americans paid income tax for the year 1922, govern- ment figures disclose. The income tax directly affects less than a fourth of the population. How many should pay, but dodge? Income tax reduction is not apt to have much influence on three out of four votes. LETTER. FROM V RIDGE MANN July 21, 1924. Dear Folks: I went to see the flyers fly and show us fighting in the air. It wouldn't be an awful He to say a million folks were there. We watched them all the time they flew, and saw them do their fancy tricks—and long before the show was thru, our blooming necks were full of cricks, The bombing planes would rise and dip, and swirl around above the drink. They aimed to sink the mother-ship, and put {t wholly p the blink, And I’ve a mind ff they had dropped a dozen bombs e way they could, the mother-ship, before they stopped, would be as fine as kindling wood, And then ‘and there 1 got a hunch about a dandy practice stunt.

His main worry is “those newspaper men,” who have been on his trail ever since he was nominated in New York. The governor {s a big,brown eyed middie-westerner, He is the easiest person in the world to meet. National politics don't look awesome to him, But if you get him on the subject of his broth- er, “W. J," his brown eyes light up and he speaks with great re- spect of the “Great Commoner” and the famous speech about the “crown of thorns and the cross of gold.” C, W. Bryan never appeared in the spotlight until 1915. Hy had come to Nebraska along about 1890, A young man then, in his early twenties, fe wondered what he ought to do, and finally opened a cigar store on a sido street in Omaha.
