FIRST AIR MAIL ROUTE
READY

The work of planning and
mapping the first aeroplane mail
routes to be instituted by the
United States Postoffice Depart
ment has been completed, ac-
cording to Albert Bond Lam
bert, st. Louis aviator and rank
ing captain of the United States
aviation corps. Two routes of
60 miles each have been planned,
one entirely in Missouri and one
interstate between Missouri and
Illinois. The Missouri route will
cross a country without rail
ways.
This plan was fathered by
Postmaster General Burleson,
and now awaits congressional
appropriation to put it into eff
feet in Missouri and Illinois.
The aeroplane mail service is
to serve as a peg upon which is
to be hung United States pre-
paredness in the matter Of mill
tary aircraft. 1t is hoped to
place in the government service
between 200 and 800 aeroplanes
in a short time after the aerial
mail routes are started.

words Lincoln had reached the
heights of view of the inspired
prophets of the Old Testament.
Whether he went further and
ever expressed his belief in God
as Love and saw and asknowl-

in Jesus Christ, no recorded

reached the point of view Of the
Old Testament, as shown in his
writings, it may be questioned
whether he reached the point
of view of the New Testament.
But how many Christian quail

ender-heartedness, his high re-

from personal quarrels, his SIM
plicity and plainness of char

respect for law, his strong anti

the National crisis wrought in
his belief, perhaps we do not ex-
actly know, for he was not To-
quacious on the subject.
But we have several testimon-
les to his points of view that are
of interest. Mrs. Lincoln is
quoted as saying: His only
philosophy was that what is to
be will be, and no prayers Of
ours can reverse the decree"
Justice David Davis, who
knew him well, said: "He had
no faith in the Christian sense
Of the term-had faith in laws,
principles, causes and effects"
These statements were large
ly true of him before he had
been tried in the furnace of the
National affection, and the fire
had burned away the dross of
his beliefs and of his character.
But as the war wore along, and
as the great National sacrifice
of it's treasure and it's best
young life became more and
more onerous, the sublime Ian
guage of the Gettysburg Ad-
dress and of the Second Inaugu-
raj showed Lincoln had reached
almost the heights of Hebraic
prophecy, using this word in it's
exact sense.

the Justice of God and of his be-
lief in the great plan of a God

DEMOCRATS REVOLT ON SHIPPING BILL.

Every day brings indications that Congress becom
ing independent of the president 1t begins look
though the administration shipping bill will with
opposition strong enough to defeat in the The
proposed law is Objectionable in least three
to many members of congress Briefly there objections
that by the purchase and operation of ships the
government is brought into direct competition with priv
ate enterprise second that this proposed makeshift is
unnecessary and at best it only temporary relief third
that with the purchase of every ship the will
secure quarrel with the nations of Europe
1t is claimed by authorities that the threatened advent
OF the government into the shipping business has already
frightened away private capital AS privately owned
ships cannot compete with the government the last
nant OF the American merchant marine will disappear as
soon as government owned ships appear This is looked
upon as an unmixed evil in and of itself The second
contention that it unnecessary for the government to
engage in the shipping business is proved by the fact
that our exports for December last exceeded the ex-
ports OF December 1918 by nearly $5OOO00 and that the
shipping was at hand to handle the increased traffic II
is also pointed out that ships plying between American
and South American ports utilized to their full
capacity at the present time The position taken nv
Great Britain in regard the Daca is pointed to as an
instance OF the complications that might arise by the
government owning and operating its own ships

senate. We are pleased to prominent members of

ONE METHOD OF SAVING MONEY.

charged misdeamor that the taxpayers OF ldaho
will not approve. If government fails to give protection
to property it is failure government. The theory
that the cannot afford to apprehend and punish
criminals fraught with the gravest menace to the
security of the people of Idaho. According to the statutes
of this state is felony steal ten dollar calf ana
only msdemeanor steal certain other property to the
value of sixty dollars Governor Alexander says that ne
will not issue requisition papers in the latter case
The which the attention to the governor
and on which he outlined his policy is ndictable mis-
demeanor this while the charge that of per-
vetng and obsructing justice property to the value OF
four or five thousand dollars is involved. The man
Handley has only, far in his lay, made
away with this property but in doing has dehed the
the district He holds both the law and the cour
in contempt The governor by his action enables him to
successfully do what he has done. If this policy per-
sisted in may look forward to of crime in the
counties from WHICH exit to another state is easy.
Is Idaho poor that she protect her ctzens
Is this sample of the brand of economy to have
during the two years. Do the lawabding people of
this approve of such methods? We have certainly
reached low estate when the state permits all of
crime rather than go to the of experimenting the
criminals.

1t almost makes one ashamed of his
English blood to read the blind ad-
ulationS bestowed on Charles II on
his restoration to the throne; how
could they so soon forget the treach-
cry of the Stuarts; why did they not
remember that Charles II was not
only the son of his father, but also
the son of his mother, Henrietta
Maria, the evil genius, who prompted
and advised her husband in his dupli-
city and falsity with the Parliament.
Aud our sense of disgust continues
while we read of the vice in society
and the dishonesty in government
through the reign OF Charles III. Easy
going and good natured he let his
favorites rule. But the cup of inigui-
ty was filled to the brim in the reign
OF his brother, the superstitiouS and
moroSe James ii; and while we still
despise the treaChery and trucking
OF the Bishops whom James had Great
ed, who had eaten out of his hand,
and OF many of the leading men in the
government and army, like John
Churchill, afterwards the distingu-
ished soldier Duke of Marlborough,
we yet rejoice to discover that liber-
ty is alive, and that great force ir-
ristibly moved, and peers and common
people march all together; and the
rising and flowing tide forced James
to flee the kingdom; and then came
one of the greatest events of English
history. The king was gone; there
was no one to call Parliament togeth-
ed. The Puritan element, admirers
OF Cromwell and the Commonwealth,
reJoiced and were hopeful. The Tory
and Cavaliers who had fought for
Charles | and supported his SON
Charles IL, were diSheartened and des
perate. The on-rushing tide OF hatred
OF despotism brought the extremes to-
gether; and a Convention was called,
assembled and organized with fear and
trembling, there was not the slightest
precedent in all their history; in no
real sense were they Parliament; for
such body must be called by king
and act with king, but the genius of
OF the Anglo-SaXo prevailed; they
were Convention OF the English
people; and speaking for that people
they declared the throne vacant and
proceeded to invite William of Orange
born and bred in the free air of H0l-
land, to take that throne, thea to
salve the chafed political consciences
OF the Tory and Cavalier party, he
convention declared that Mary. eldest
daughter of James II, and the wife
OF William, should share the throne
