THE AIRCRAFT REPORT.

The aircraft investigation report
made by Charles Evans Hughes at the
request of President Wilson is another
of those little triumphs for which the
President is noted. While a few New
York newspapers are elated over the
possible suggested waste of ten or fif-
teen million dollars, and while two or
three prominent aircraft men are cited
for judicial investigation, the report is
so altogether vindication of the air.
craft program and so completely dis
poses of the silly Borghem charges of
"a billion wasted" that it may be TAX
en- on whole as complete setting
aside of even everyday criticism of the
aircraft department of the war. Also
it may be said that President Wilson
never did smarter thing than in Sc
lecting Mr. Hughes to do the investi-
eating of this irritating and sensation
al charge.
The New York Tribune, irretrieva-
bly, anti-administration treats the
Hughes report on its merits and says:
Taken as a whole, the aircraft
program has gone forward just as
planned and not much more than
ninety days behind what may have
been foolishly ambitious sched-
lile. 1t will forever set at rest the
shameless accusations of a con-
spiracy' and of AN aircraft scan
dal.' 1t still remains splendid
realization of project then with
out parallel"
And it may be said further that in
disarming criticism Mr.. Wilson never
had better campaign document than
the Hughes report.

LARGEST "oLD GLORY"
AT THE HlPPoDROME

Last week the largest American flag
in the world took up it's abode at the
New York Hippodrome for the next
three months, Charles Dillingham; hav-
ing arranged for the disposition of the
giant emblem, which measures 80 by
100 feet and contains 1880 square
feet of cloth, so that it can be dis
played in New York to the greatest
possible advantage.
For two weeks previously it had
hung in the main concourse of the
Grand Central station, and even the
vast size of that room could not dwarf
its proportions. The flag was manu-
featured by 500 patriotic employees of
the Royal Tailors in Chicago, who lent
it to the Fourth Liberty Loan Commit
tee. 1t was first unfurled with inn

| great problems coming which must be
decided properly and advantageOusly
for the general good. Mr.. Wilson has
| done many great and important things
| that every fair minded man must rec
ognize and which no mere party influ
ence or dickering would dare to alter
His great abilities are recognized alike
! by friend and foe. If he feels that he
should not be hampered by an oppos.
| ing Congress that is liable to upset
measures he deems good for the coun-
try and has been candid enough to say
so let him have his way and say. This
is only fair.
But it is not fair to inject into the
race as much bitterness as has been
shown. There is no special difference
in political parties in the United
States. The Tins" always oppose the
"outs," and vice versa. The country
has prospered alike under dominance
of either party. 1t has become the
greatest nation in all history under a
two party system. Presidents of both
parties have made records of varying
character. Some have been good, 9TH
ers purely mechanical or lacking in
certain constructive force Perhaps
the greatest thing to be said of Wood
row Wilson is that the laws he has put
into enactment are not liable to be dis
turbed by the most vehement party OPP
position, because they are for the
most part substantially and funda-
mentally good and so recognized The
generic principles of the banking law,
for instance or the tariff commission
are as strong as any clause of the Con-
stitution itself and will never be dis
turbed in all likelihood. There are
many other sound laws put into force
by President Wilson that will outlive
the present generation and many that
are to follow.
But in any event, whether the COM
ing Congress is Republican or Demo-
cratic, the country will find itself with
great and conscientious statesman at
the helm proud to remain the servant
of the people and to carry out their
WILL He has sufficient force, coupled
with amazing skill, to come pretty
nearly satisfying the majority of the
American people whether or no.

VILLAGE GOSSIP
A Tree Of Jewels.

II saw in Pelham Bay Park last Sun
day one of the most glorious and ap-
pealing spectacles of autumnal glory.
have ever witnessed Over by the
south end, near the cricket grounds,
stood large oval shaped tree, the
name of which could not place at the
moment, but the leaves of which were
small and oval-oblong shape, about
two and one-half inches long by one
and one-quarter inches wide and very
shiny. The tree was literally ablaze
with flaming reds, scarlets and yell
low. 1t was of amazing beauty, and it
struck me so forcibly that went out
of my way to go near it's outrageous
branches.
The tree appeared to be at least 60
or 70 feet high and almost of equal
breadth. 1t was almost semispherical
in shape, but such riot of color shone
from it's branches that it looked like a
veritable tree of jewels. The trunk
scarcely over eight or nine feet high,
perhaps less, then began such a rami-
fication of boughs in zigzag fashion
throughout it's interior as have never
seen.
1t fulfilled all of the artistic art inn
agery in japanese tree fancy, and
really stood bewildered before it's
marvellous presentation of natures
glories. At one angle looking toward
the sun and from the inside of the
tree itself the leaves fairly sparkled
like myriads of jewels set upon the
branches. A man passing by said that
he had himself come over to look at
the tree, which he had been watching
for over month. OF course the same
dazzling beauty must have been seen
by thousands of others who passed
that way, but in all my life I have
never seen such bewildering wonders
on tree. 1t made one feel as though
the mystifying influence of Gods
handiwOrk are everywhere at hand,
and yet one touch of it was so empha-
sized on this incomprehensible tree of
splendor it made it's own appeal-that
we should go our ways and worship
him.
Randolph Brown has been promoted
in the navy to gunner's mate-quite
rise for a youngster so new to the
service. He is in training at Camp
May and is so filled with seafaring
terms landlubber, listening to him
talk with his friends, would imagine
himself aboard ship. He spent a five
days furlough in Palisade last week
end.

President Wilson made an appeal re-
Gently for a return Of Democratic
Congress- While this was an unusual
thing to do, the desire for sustaining
Congress in time of war is not new.
The Republicans were just as strong
for the same thing in the Spanish
American war of 1898 AS to prece-
dent the honors are even. AS politics
goes that is another matter. AS to
which party should rightfully domi-
nate the government at this time we
believe the leaning is toward the
Democrats-not that they are better
equipped than Republicans, but it
would seem logical that. a President
should have the encouragement of his
own party support. No doubt Presi-

THE PRESIDENT is WISE.

The quantity of counsel daily Offer
ed to President Wilson would fill a
book. He must be a man Of marvel
lous patience to withstand the shock
of such a mass of advice hurled at his
head every hour of the day. Fortu-
nately for America and the world,
which logically looks for safety and
independence through him, he posses
SEES the calm mind and never gets per-
turbed. Also, he shows extraordinary
skill in sorting out all that is handed
in as to how he should run the gov
eminent. If he were not possessed
of discerning mind; if he were not
able to read the mind of the people
and to sift the chaff from the wheat,
he could not withstand the daily bonn
bardment which the White House re-
ceiveS.
AS for the blatant critics, how can
they read his mind? He has more
sources of what is going on in Ger
many than any other man in the
world, except the Kaiser His infOr-
nation does not come from hearsay,
nor from reading the newspapers. AL
most the destinies of the world are in
his hands. His responsibilities are gil
gantic, and as has been said in these
columns before, whatever else may be
said of Woodrow Wilson, he is no fool.
The greatest opportunity in all history
is his, and there are some people who
expect him to make fool of himself.
But he won't

LA MONTE AND HENNEssY.

1t would be great day for New
Jersey if two such progressive men as
George M. La Monte and Charles
O'Connor Hennessy could be chosen
as United States senator's. Both are
strong, clean men with unimpeachable
records. Each has stood for the high
est type of politics and citizenship and
each is progressive in the truest sense
of the term. They have put up a
campaign entirely free from rancor,
and have appealed to the public on
what they believe are the prime politi-
cal demands of the hour, support of
the President and woman's suffrage
These are the two great live issues OF
the hour next to the war and peace
and the two candidates are united in
support of all.
