THE TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT

" HE interesting announcement is
made that the Rodman Wana-
L maker millions and the Glenn
II. Curtiss brain are to be
hitched together to produce an
ocean going" airship of sufficient
power to cross the broad Atlantic at a
single flight. When Walter Wellman
made ready for his doubtful expert
ment the scientific world with one
voice predicted failure. The Wana-
maker-Curtiss enterprise is received
with quite a different tone. ''It is all
matter of the motor" men skilled in
aircraft say. and many Of them fore
see the successful conclusion of the
great adventure.
The possibility of crossing the broad
Atlantic in fifteen hours would un-
questionably set the world to thinking
along new lines concerning inter-
national warfare. With a fleet of such
airships-or the much more powerful
aeroplanes that are bound to succeed
it-any nation might put an army into
motion and land 1t on the shores of an
unsuspecting neighbor over night. 1t
would revolutionize warfare and set
England a-shiver with every mention
of Germany. and put the teeth of
every European ruler on edge. Even
California would have nightmares in
which it would see fiocks of flying
Japs In every dark cloud that OBJ
scured the Pacific horizon.
Mr.. Wanamaker believes. however.
that this very possibility would hasten
the day of worldwide peace, and per-
haps he is right. At all events, his
remarkable enterprise is worthy the
widespread attention it is receiving.
While Mr.. Curtiss goes confidently
about his work of constructing the
new flyer 1t is interesting to note that
he is building it along lines that will
permit him to drop gracefully to the
surface of the sea and float there
should anything happen to the motor
on which he places so much depend
ence.

The name OF one Mr.. Wilson, of
Washington. appears to be used rath-
er recklessly by Democrats on both
sides of the fence.
One Bull Mooser who reported
that many OF his people were favor
able to Stuart at yesterdays confer
ence was more truthful than polite.
Ryan boomers say that they pre-
fer Mccormick to Palmer as an oppo-
nent.
Wonder IL Palmer wasn't lust
scheming to be senatorial candidate
all the time?
Watson would make Palmer go
out and hustle more than he ever ex-
pected.
The Royal Moeslein slate does

deal in the making of the slate, say
dispatches from Allentown.

trolled absolutely by the government.
there is not the disposition to oblige
patrons or to extend lines or introduce

Is SO manifest in the United States.
Here 1t is matter in many cases of
the best service getting the business,

face of what has amounted to prac-

more efficient and farreaching than
it was when the cost to the user was
higher. The same may be said of the
telegraph. What more could the gov
ernment, as owner, hope to offer?
President Wilson is an astute poll
tician. Perhaps he was well content
to let his Postmaster General test out
public sentiment on public ownership.
If it proved popular doubtless he
would have stood ready to father 1t.
for the annexation of all the en-
ployes of the telegraph and telephone
companies of the United States would
make a grand addition to the party
spoils system so much in evidence since
the advent of the new administration.
If that was his idea he must by this
time have determined that it will be
much more profitable for him to dis
miss the subject in favor of antitrust
legislation or some other subject of
the moment that has the peoples
ear.

M/ wisdom of teaching sex hygiene
w in the public schools. under
certain restrictions, as advised
yesterday by DR.. Samuel G. Dixon,
State Commissioner of Health, in an
address before the school directors
department of the State Educational
Association, may and doubtless will
differ, there can be no question in any
ones mind of the soundness of DIR.
Dixon's statement that an educational
system which lacks the teaching of
domestic science is deficient in the
training OF. the wives and mothers of
the future.
One of the places where there is
just this deficiency in the educational
system is Harrisburg.
1t is high time that the city directors
make suitable provision for the teach
ing of domestic science in the schools.
A committee recently appointed with
view to deciding the advisability of
teaching this branch in the grades will
likely report favorably at q meeting of
the directors this evening. This report
should be acted upon at once that the
girls of Harrisburg may be trained in
the far too often lost art of home
making.
With relation to the question of sex
hygiene instruction in the school DR..
Dixon may or may not be right. He
is. however, most certainly absolutely
correct when he declares the public
theater and the movie are not the cor
rect disseminators of sexual knowl-
edge.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

~ RESIDENT WILSON shows no
disposition to hurry the an
l nouncement as to whether or
not he favors the public owner
ship of telegraph and telephone lines.
as recommended by his Postmaster
General. If he is wise he will with
hold his approval entirely. To en-
dorse the proposal would be the first
step toward government requirement
of the railroads and an invitation to
socialism to come on and do it's worst.
IL there are abuses to be corrected
they can be reached by government
regulation. There is no reason for the
taking over of the phone and teIe-
pgraph lines that has for its basis either
economy or efficiency. 1t is a well
known fact that the government
owned lines of Europe cost quite as
much to use as those of the United
States, and that the service is much
slower and far less comprehensive

THE WHITE HOUSE PRIMARY
IFrom the New York SUM-

H.
The Hon. A Mitchell Palmer pro-
poses but the President disposes. On
Tuesday there were two conferences AT
the White House between them. They
discussed the political situation in
Pennsylvania and the prospects of the
Democratic party in that Common
wealth At the first meeting, to which
Chairman Roland Morris, of the State
Democratic committee, was invited, the
President was informed that Represent
tative Palmer would be Democratic
candidate for Governor at the next pri-
mary. After the second conference.
which did not include the Democratic
State chairman, Mr.. Palmer made this
announcements:
II expected to be candidate for Gov
ernor, and so announced to many of my
friends. We hoped that Secretary VIII
son would be a candidate for Senator,
but, having sought the President s
counsel we find that he is averse to Mr..
Wilson's leaving the Cabinet. 1t is the
Presidents judgment that I should
make the race for Senator and L have
decided to do So"
The definition of a Democratic pri-
mary seems to be the mental process
by which the President of the United
States makes known his will that a
certain person shall be candidate for
office, or in the event that there are
several aspirants that all shall with
draw but the favored one.

OUR PROGRESSIVE BRETHREN

battle-ground for the 1914 cam
i paign. Penrose, Palmer and
Pinchot will contend for po-
liticaI supremacy under the most un-
usual conditions that have ever con-
fronted party leaders in this State.
Not since the period Immediately pre-
ceding the Civil War has there been
such widespread interest as is now
manifested in the party alignments
from one end of the Commonwealth
to the other.
1t is obvious that the real contest
is between Penrose and Palmer and
it may reasonably be expected that
President Wilson will do everything
within the power of his administra-
ton to help the Palmer faction.
Meanwhile Pinchot, as the representa-
tive of the Roosevelt element of the
Republican party. will endeavor to
check the back-to- -the-party move
ment among Republicans. How well
he will succeed in this effort remains
to be seen, but judging from the re-
markable reversal of the attitude of
the Progressives in California, where
thousands upon thousands of Roose-
welt men have registered as straight
Republicans this year, the outlook for
a continuance of the third party move
ment in Pennsylvania is not as en-
couraging as some of the most active
propagandists would like to think.
Not only in California is this active
reorganization of the Republican
party under way, but throughout the
country.
Many good Republicans who voted
for Colonel Roosevelt by way of pro-
test against what they honestly be-
lieved to be arbitrary party manage
ment are now returning to the colors
in such numbers as to confirm the
conservative opinion of all students of
political movements-that the divi-
sion of the Republican ranks is not
nearly so serious as the opposition to
the party would have it appear for
their own purposes.
1t must be remembered that in the
1919 campaign more than $4,000 Re-
publicans in Pennsylvania did not vote
at all and adding these to the regular
Republican vote this year plus fifty
per cent of the Republicans who
voted for Colonel Roosevelt two years
at and the Republican ticket will
have over 100000 votes, making the
situation far more interesting for Re-
publicans than the statisticians of the
Democracy care to admit. In 1908,
the Republican vote for Taft was
745,777 and that for Bryan 44S,7s2.
Two years ago President Wilson's
vote was 5S,163 less than that cast
for Bryan In 1908 and 1t is hardly
conceivable that with the differences
which now threaten a split in the
Democratic party the vote for the
Palmer ticket this year will approach
the vote cast under the conditions
which prevailed two years ago
A close analysis of the situation
shows that the normal Republican
vote will be so large this year as to
swamp the Democracy and the other
parties that are struggling for su-
premacy in this State.
