James J. Hill.

Progress and construction laid almost sole
claim to the tireless energy and unmistakable
genius OF James Jerome Hill, the man who built
railroads and set productive machinery at work
supplying them with freight for transportation

activities while they were yet being EMPLOYED
to useful purpose for while Mr.. Hill had an
nounced his retirement from business life his
great MIND did not to do its share toward
carrying great projects 20 contamination. Born
IN Canada, he saw visions in the Northwest
United States, and a poor boy he started the
shaping Of them into tangible realities With
tar-scelng eyes he applied himself diligently to
the cultivation Of a great fertile and waiting
held and what he wrought was little short of
the miraculous.
1t cannot be denied that lanes T. Hills
mental endowments were superior Not every
man possessed of equal physical energy and
determination and the cultivated traits OF in
dustry economy and application could have
achieved as he did. All Of these assets added
to natural genius and inclination toward ad-
venture and experiment made the empire builder
and business statesman and yet in few other
countries could they have found such opDor-
tunlty to create. There is much in his Iife's
work to inspire the youth OF America.

Civilized Standards In Industry.

When the war broke out, England found its
industrial mobilization more difficult than the
assembly of its military forces: Its munition
factories were totally unprepared; not only ma
chimes and men, but also ideas being lacking,
English manufacturers, grown conservative, knew
no other way of increasing output than to work
their longer and harder, and still harder,
and forbid their resort to the public house. They
knew nothing of the and consequences
of industrial fatigue, OF the waste and repet-
ton in ordinary industrial processes, or OF the
relations between fatigue and efficiency. The
result was inevitable: an increasing pressure
upon the workers, a growing fatigue irrta-
ton, disputes and strikes. The employers gave
it their opinion that few labor leaders should
be placed against the wall and shot, while the
employees bitterly protested against the stupidity
and greed of the employers. In the meanwhile
the British troops in France lacked shot and
she'll with which the Germans in the opposite
trenches abundantly supplied. In the United
States Committee Industrial Preparedness,
composed of engineering experts, is now in
vestigatng industrial resources. Their at
tention is wisely called by the National Con-
sumers League to Sir George Newman's re-
port. They should not fail to ascertain fully

since that time had twice been adopted
by the Senate; but the House had failed
TO concur. AS the law stood the sue

The United states Army General STAFF
mas disapproved the proposal Of Congress
to purchase the aviation field at College
Park, Md. at a cost OF 800. co.. The stan
believes the investment would be a poor
one, from a business standpoint.
A bill recently introduced in Congress,
having for its object the purchase Of the
College Park feld was referred to the
seneral stan for its consideration.
Several years ago the army used the
College Park property as its main avia-
ton school. but owing to frequent I'm
favorable weather conditions, the school
was shifted to various places through
the south and southwest and now IS
lodged at San Diego, Cal. which site is
said to be the best so far selected.
In advising Congress OF the general
staffs disapproval OF the project, Secre-
tary Baker told the sponsors of the meas
ure that while the project was turned
down for the time being, he would insu-
tute another investigation at some later
date, should Congress so desire. 1t is the
opinion of army officers AL through the
War Department, however. that time will
have little to DO with the army's decision
in this matter The field can be rented,
it was said, at a price which is consider
ably lower than the interest on so large
a sum of money. In view of this fact,
officers consider II altogether doubtful II
the general stan will ever approve OF the
Congressional proposal. unless conditions
warrant the establishment of a perma-
nent aviation field near the National
Capital.
Col. George O. Squier, the newly ap-
pointed head of the army's aviation
corps, yesterday telegraphed to Capt. B.
D. Foulois. aerial squadron commander
at Columbus n. Mex to learn the exact
number of aeroplanes which have been
received to date from the Curtiss fac
tory.
Although lacking definite advices yes
terday, officers Of the aviation corps
were of the impression that the fun ship
ment of twelve big 100 horsepower Cur
tiss planes recently ordered by the army,
has already been completed and the tele-
gram to Capt. Foulois was sent in an ef-
fort to verify this fact.
Regardless of whether the full con-
signment of twelve planes has vet been
received, this number will shortly be in
service with the American expedition
AIRY forces basing on Columbus y. M,
and in ordering the twelve new machines,
the army now has a complete new outfit
of fliers, Of a strength and speed that
will carry them 270 miles across the Dor
der into Mexico and back without stop
ping to replenish fuel
The original eight aeroplanes owned by
the army at the time the American punt
tive expedition invaded Mexico. are now
In the scrap heap.
There is a record of seven deliveries
already made at Columbus by the Cur
tiss factory. and officers yesterday eX-
pressed the belief that the rest OF the
lot was either on the way or had been
received at the border. The machines
cost Uncle Same around $4,000 esrh

section OF the pending postoffice appro-
pration bill gives the Postmaster General the
power to direct that magazines, newspapers or
other publications placed in the mail be shipped
by freight in his discretion. 1t is objected to
on the ground that unjust discrimination on the
part OF the Postmaster General would be made
possible; but members of the Senate Postoffice
Committee, who defend the provision, assert
that it is inconeeivable that a Cabinet officer
would make use of his office in any such way.
1t would be uncomfortable, but how are the law
makers of today to determine what use some
future official may # to make of the power
conferred upon him? And why is it necessary
to enact law that gives any official the power
to discriminate to such an extent? Surely the
Senators will not have tc hunt far for an in
stance OF gross discrimination and misuse Of
authority by government official.

That the law presumes that the President
