ing along above the clouds. We were
in the fastest machine made, and when
we left the ground | wouldn't have
known it unless had watched the

And talk about wind | thought |

on a helmet which buckles under the
chin, and l thought sure the wind
would break the strap.
1--WE scared around awhile, but all
the time we were climbing up. Every
once in while the aviator would op-

up. We would go nearly straight up
for short ways, and then we'd cir

the ground it was cloudy and looked
like. rain.) wondered if we were
going into it, and we did. l couldn't
see the wings of the machine. 1t was
exactly like a very thick fog. We
were steadily climbing, and in a short
time we burst right out into the sun
light. The light at first hurt my
eyes, but as soon as | looked around,
lit was the most beautiful sight / ever
saw. 1t reminded me of the ocean,
great big, billowy puffs as far as
you could see. The tops were white
where the sun struck them, and un-
derneath were sort of greenish blue.
I'VE were climbing all the time
Finally after We had reached the al.
titude the aviator wanted, saw the
handle on the throttle control by my
side go to the wide open position
Now the peculiar part of riding in an
aeroplane is to get it into your head
that you are moving. 1t seems just
like you are standing still. and the
motor is running Off You have no
way to judge your speed. Aeroplane
speedometers are run by taking the
wind velocity. l know the rate we
travelled. but am not allowed to say.
But it was about three times as fast
as l have driven the old National.

by the way, the fellow who took
me up is a private, and is considered
one of the best aviators here. am
sending you my pass. 1t will make
a good souvenir. No one is allowed
to go up without pass.

CAMOUFLAGED IDEALISM
(By ]. T. Jonos.)

The Social st program is very much
in evidence in Washington and the
country to " hat the Duke of Yelling
ton called "s revolution by due course
of law" and since all the political en-
gagements CT the Socialists appear to
look toward this kind of an economical
end, the consequences, as they bring
about the confusion Of property with
privilege, are well worth needing. In
the fall elections the Socialistic idea,
which doesn't amount to hamstring
when it flies under its own colors,
but which is potential when put for
ward by leaders in the two old par
ties, is being foisted upon the country.
1t is up to the American public to do
its own thinking concerning the great
problems that are to be met by the
next Congress, and there should be a
vigorous use of the swatter in exter-
minating the preachments that favor
Socialism.
The sign posts Of modern progress
sive thought have been posted con-
spicuously by the Government, and
the policy toward the country could
not possibly be fairer or more liberal.
Uncle Sam guarantees to protect cap
ital, industry, securities, credit, labor,
agriculture and every known condition
that effects human life. Some of the
war measures have resulted in Gov
eminent control and operation for the
period of the war The legislation
and regulation in each instance as en-
acted specifies that this form of proce
dure, necessary during the war period,
shall terminate when. the country re-
turns to a peace basis. The politi-
clans all know this but some of them
can't see,-and others do not want to
see-that the processes of reconstruc
ton are sure to be as radical as the
methods by which the country was so
speedily put upon war footing
There is cheap jingle to the social
cation agitation, and a eoterie Of poi;
ticians. in the National Capital, with
/, Solistic minds, who are trying to make
it appear that they are radically pro-
gressive, whereas they are simply
radical" and their speeches read
very much like what one finds in the
writings of Eugene V. Debs, Meyer
London, Victor Berger and others who
belong to that discredited school of
politics.

Rennard, were here several days
last week inspecting the site and
plans for the new Sisters School

best and most promising town
and the right location. All the
arrangements met with their
entire approval and they left a
five hunder dollar check for the
starting of the school building
which will be erected as soou as
the new Rectory is completed.
1t will be arranged for board
ing School and the first unit will
cost from 1000. to 5000 dollars
with provision for increasing as
necessity demands.
