Governor Of the Aero Club of
America and Editor of .'FIying."
In reply to a request for an opinion
as to the practicability Of Mr.. Nc
Connells plan for rescuing his former
comrades by the aid OF aeroplanes. I
would say that the governors OF the
Aero Club of America received a let
ter from Mr. Mcconnell giving his
plan in detail.
After carefully considering the
plans. and after Mr.. Hawley. president
Of the club, had conferred with sew
eral Arctic explorers regarding their
feasibility. the plans We're approved in
their entirety, sanctioned by the Aero
Club OF America, and Mr.. Mcconnell
was notified to that effect.
one OF the most popular of the mis-
conceptions about the Arctic is that
even in the summer time ii is too cold
for flying. on the contrary, the
weather in the region which would
he covered by flying boats in searching
for Nilhjalmur Stefansson and his men
is not at all severe. From May % to
September Is the weather would be
ideal for a search of the surface of
the hrtllC ocean, because LOT ma
jority Il those weeks the aviators
would have the decided advantage OF
an average Of eighteen hours OF day
light daily.
The flying boats necessary for this
sort of woSk would have to be espe-
clally designed. but their manufacture
would not entail problems that could
not Ice solved by any of the well known
constructors.
AS a matter of fact, the present day
aeroplane can he flown in any kind Of
weather, including the coolest. Hun
dreds of aeroplanes have flown daily
in the past winter. in weather quite as
cold as one will find in the Arctic. and
in conditions-war conditions-much
more trying than any to be found in
the Arctic regions. since the prospect
of being compelled to make an en-
forced landing at some little distance
from ones base in the Arctic does not
involve half as much danger as being

SHUTTING OFF A BURDEN.

When L. l.. Bowers of Little Rock a man
seventy years old or more. was appointed deputy
Inspector of weights and measures for the district
comprising Thurston and Mason counties. consid-
cradle surprise expressed even among Re
publicans, that younger and more active man
was not appointed, but the word soon passed
around that the appointment came reward
for the long and arduous service Bowers had given
the Republican forces in this county and that he
probably wouldn't have much to do, anyhow. SO
it was accepted during the two years that Bowers
served in that capacity under Burr and it
CASTOR. The brutal way of putting it would be
to say that he was a sort of political pensiOner.
Recognizing that those Republicans concerned
in the move deny any such intention and shoulder
ertheless the frank comments made by other Re
publicans, associated with these, that Bowers is
too old to do the work properly and that the party
should not be expected to pension him any longer,
convince us that the proposed change in handling
the weights and measures work in this county Is
an attempt on the part of the Republican party of
this vicinity to shunt off a burden. There is an.
other campaign coming on soon; Bowers was apt
to be vulnerable point and therefore to get rid
of him would be good politics.
The motive, however, is unimportant; the fact
is that Bowers, if the scheme outlined goes
through, is destined to lose his job. That's all
Bowers cares about.

THE SKELETON IN THE CLOSET.

1t appears to us that it is with good deal of
that quality popularity known as ''brass'' and
with total and absolute disregard for the facts
that certain individuals of the Republican persua-
sion in midst roast the present national add
ministraton for 'belated military preparedness"
especially when one thinks of the fifteen or twenty
years of Republican supremacy in the national
congress and of the things that they might have
done and did not Add to this an unwarranted at
tack On Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels,
than whom more widely praised man has held
that cabinet position, and an as equally unwar-
ranted boost for Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts, the worst notoriety seeker in the
congress who sought to promote his own political
interests by embroiling the president in debate.
and you have series of deliberate msrepresenta-
tons.
This newspaper has always contended that lying
in politics gains nothing. What the people want
to know-what they demand of the newspaper and
the politician these days-is the truth, or they
withhold their confidence. To blame the present
national administration for whatever military I'M
preparedness there exsts-and that is seriously
mooted questions just as truthful as to blame
