THE American navy has triHnphed.
= Its airship has made a figIt across
The ocean. and has at last accomplished
that of which the world has l6een dream
ing ever since the Wright brothers first
proved en- the sands of Kitty Hawk that
man could fly.
The achievement of the NC-4 is thrill
ing. Even though it covered the dis
tance from Trepassey to Lisbon ir three
stages and was more than a week on the
journey, it has accomplished marvellous
thing. That it should cross at all is
astounding
The successors of the men in command
of the successful airship will better their
record just as the record of Columbus has
been bettered. But the glory belongs to
the men who did the thing first, and that
they will have in due measure.

READY FOR BUSINESS

T'HERE are forty-nine Republican
senators. Eight of them call them
selves progressive. They sought to die
tate to the others in the matter of the
selection of the chairmen for the finance
committee and the committee on appro-
prjations. They objected to Penrose and
Warren. At an open conference yester-
day Senator Borah explained that his
objections to Penrose were due to the
views which the Pennsylvania senator
ho.ds on the subject of the proper dis
tribution of the burden of taxation
When he moved that the name of Pen
rose be stricken from the list of COM
mittce chairmen his progressive asso-
ciates voted with him and the rest voted
for Penrose. Then Mr.. Borah announced
that he had, ended his fight, not for what
he regards as. the right kind of taxation
but for the organization of the Senate on
lines satisfactory to him.
1t is clearly understood nJw where the
men in control of the majority in the
Senate stand. The fight for progressive
legislation will be carried on in commit
tees and on the floor of the Senate We
venture the prediction that it will be
more successful than the fight against
individuals. The members of the Senate
are expert politicians, with their ears to
the ground. They know that presi-
dental election is impending, and unless
all precedents fail they will frame legis-
lation to meet the prevailing sentiment
of the nation in accordance with Repub-
llcan principles so far as 4hey can dis
cover what that sentiment is.
The new rules of the Senate intended
to distribute power among as large a
number as possible have been observed
in the formation of the committees. Six
of the eight progressves have received
chairmanships and they are represented
on the important committees. They will
make their influence felt so far as the
force of their arguments makes that pos
sible.
Now that the fight within the party is
over, the way seems to be clear for push
ing the constructive legislative program
with all possible speed.

Women seem to have become much
addicted to wearing neckpieces of
many kinds. A little journey through
shops and departments that carry
neckwear reveals such world of it
and such a variety of it that there
must be great demand for all kinds
of neckwear. Many Of the pieces are
intended TO replace summer furS.
These include scarfs made of pushes,
ostrich bOas, ostrich capes and capes
of marabOut feathers or marabout fin
ished with ostrich fringe. This os-
trich fringe, which appears like mara
bout in black, white and natural color,
is used in borders and bands in scarfs
of gold and silver tissue.
