The Mitchell Memorial

Widespread approval Of the proposal
of the Mitchell Memorial Committee may
be predicted Certainly there could be
nothing more fitting to pcrpctuatc the
memory Of John Purroy Mitchell than
this public playground in the heart Of
the city, constructed in his name and by
his friends and admirers. 1t Was lust
this sort Of far-sightcd service to the
people Of his city that stirred and in
splrcd his mind and heart.
He knew the complc% financial condi
tlons of the city as few men knew them,
and he knew that only by their cxpcrt
solution could any higher service be
achieved. But his goal was always the
human one, his far purpose was always
the health and happiness of the men,
women and children Of New York. For
That ne lived and, falling in the great
war for human liberty. he but died as he
had lived, true soldier Of his fellow
man. Such a memorial rs is now pro-
posed Mitchell field with a suitable
monument, would express to the full. for
present and future generations to mark
and cherish, the public service that John
Purroy Mitchell gave his city and his
nation.
We hope greatly that the Board Of
Estimate will see its way to approve the
project for the conversion of this super
i1uous and wasteful Central Park Rcscr

Anti-Tobacco

The crusade against tobacco is not ex-
actly present reality. The excitement
has not actually begun. What is now
under way is rather the preparation Of
the material of war, the marshalling of
data, the recruiting of funds, the organi-
zation of forces for the new movement.
But 1t is serious, none the less, and the
time to meet it, if people wish TO meet it.
is now, when it is forming, not in the last
stages, when organization has silently
won its way and the joke is over. And
we think people do wish to nleet and op-
pose the movement. We think there is
serious menace in the propaganda quite
beyond the immediate threat to harm
less exercise of personal liberty and
source of cheer.
The case against alcohol was not clear
to everybody by any means-perhaps not
clear to majority of voters But it was
concedcdly a strong case which the ex-
perience of the war and the latest eco
nomlc facts served to strengthen vastly.
Tobacco in no form can yield any such
'AAi%oiiiSiio 90 Wdo lOuIlu against dlCOnOI.
Its serious injuries are rare, it's general
effects egligible-except as a comfort
and solace.
If tobacco is to be taken away there
are no limits to the invasion of personal
liberty in the name of perfecting human
beings. Assemble enough experts and
collate enough statistics, and you can
prove the utter depravity of golf, read
ing and meat eatng-to say nothing of
marriage and the movies. 1t is all a
question of degree, of balance between
conceded pleasure to the many and dam
age to few.
Such campaign we conceive to be the
surest road to reaction against all SEN
slble progress along temperance lines.
The true friends of prohibition should be
the first to oppose this new crusade.
Human nature can stand about so much
reforming; it can, in the language of
Cousin Egbert, be pushed just so far;
beyond that point it is likely to rear IN
and KICK the whole rig to pieces.

flying machine shall win new glory
with it.
At present the odds favor England.
Already it has been officially announced
in cable from the Royal Aero Club
of the United Kingdom to the Aero Club
of America that the English champion
is on his way to Newfoundland to make
preparations for the fight. There are
several possible British contestants, but
the one to whom the Royal Aero Club
pins its hopes is Captain Harry G..
Hawker, who will fly Sopwith biplane
Of 375 horsepower
The United States is not far behind,
however, and the powerful aid of the
Navy Department is being given. 1t
has been officially made known that
great naval plane will attempt the
flight, and that the start will be made
about May 1 from Rockaway, L. l., to
some point further north, probably New
foundland, from which the final jump
off will be made. Both countries will
safeguard their flyers by stretching a
Both flights will be attempted from
this side, because the prevailing winds
are from west to east. Newfoundland
is the starting point because the closest
point to Europe. From Newfoundland
to the nearest point in Ireland the dis
tance is 1884 miles. From Newfound-
land to the Azores, however, the distance
is only 1900 miles, and it is possible
that that route will be selected. From
the Azores to the coast of Portugal the
distance is only 900 miles.
From a practical standpoint there is
little to be gained from a transatlantic
flight at this time. Prestige and fame
are the incentives. This view is agreed
with by G. Handley Page, builder of the
great machine which bears his name
Said Mr.. Page to the London representa-
tive Of The Tribune:
81 regard the transatlantic fight as
a great, spectacular attraction, but as
one that will not affect commercial flying
prospects. So far as we are able
to foresee, there is no future for COM
mercial transatlantic flights. The diff
culties of navigation due to fogs and
gales are too great. Air commerce must
be a solid, well sustained and carefully
organized industry, completely indepen-
dent of weather vagaries. For this
reason the future Of commercial flying,
in my judgment, lies in the East and in
the tropics, where all conditions are
favorable"
1t il not for commercial supremacy
that America and England are now
straning every effort, but rather in the
spirit which led to never-ending assaults
on the North Pole.
