THE GIFT or THE FLYERS

The men who first attempted to fly
across the Atlantic gave something
far more precious to mankind than
the mere proof that this feat is pos.
sible.
They renewed in the heart of the
whole world tides of courage and i'm.
agination. Even IL neither Australian
nor American, Briton nor Frenchman,
had successfully negotiated the trip,
the effort would have been more than
worth while. For somehow, as the big
planes rose from the earth, the spirits
of men, lifted with them and their
thoughts went up and out into the
world of infinite possibilities.
Though death and disaster prevent
the adventurers from reaching their
goal, there can be no inglorious ending
to any undertaking begun in such
bravery and enthusiasm. Even the
prosaic, stay-at-home folk will turn
back to earning their daily bread with
new light in their eyes, and q new
sqnaring of their shoulders, because
the flyers have listened to imagina.
tions whisper that perhaps the i'm.
possible is possible after all, and have
had the courage to go and see.

SPOTLIGHT ON CONGRESS-

The congress of the United States
is now in extraordinary session and
the most vitally important matter 1t
will consider is the peace treaty and
league of nations covenant 1t is or.
ganized and controlled by the Repub.
lfcans and the reactionary, standpat
mossback element of the party is in
absolute control of both branches.
First among the actions has been
the packing of the foreign relations
committee with senators absolutely
hostile to the league and whose record
shows them to be opposed to every.
thing that concerns President VIII
son.
Americans, the senate at the very
outset, shows that it is ten years or
more back of the times. The people
cleaned house with the standpatters,
they Ousted Cannonism, and made It
known that they wanted congress
responsive to the will of the people.
Now these self-appointed Republi.
can leaders are to disregard the will
of the people in manner that is with
out precedent, even in the days of
Matt Quay. While the great majority
of the American people applaud the
efforts of the president, approve of
the treaty and heartily endorse the
league, these Representatives" in
Washington set themselves upon a
throne and propose to do the thinking
for America. In this they are being
aided and abetted by that ultra-re-
dictionary, VIII Hays, the party's ma
tional chairman, who Is bringing the
politics of the dark ages in our polit-
ical history into vogue again in his ef-
fort to capture the machinery of the
nation,
II is the old, old story. Given pow
er again after eight years in the cold,
these so-called leaders interpret last
falls election as an endorsement of
their Old-time Cannon tactics the
days when Harding and the other re.
dictionaries spelled people thus-"pee.'
pul"--and thought they were getting
away with 1t.
The spotlight is on the Republican
congress. If It does not measure up
to the rrogressiveness of the times
there will be delightful houseclcan-
ing in 1920 and all signs point that
way just now. SF-RHH

'CENTRAL TIME FOR MI, VERNON
SAYS CONNIE RCE COMMISSION

the fact that there have been so many
requests made by the citizens Of Mt.
Vernon to be placed In the Central
time zone, II has been decided to
place all Of II In that zone.
This ruling eliminated all further
controversy on the time question In
this city and on June at a. m. all
clocks including the railroads will be
moved back one hour.
On October 26, according to Mayor
Bair, the clocks will again be moved
back one hour, which will again place
US within the Central time zone.
The mayor stated that in order that
there may be no confusion and also
that we may still save daylight, the
clocks should be moved back one
hour and not two, as some persons
may think the city should do in order
to be placed in the Central time
zone. II the city shouId move back,
according to the mayor, we would not
be complying with the law by saving
daylight.
Immediately after receiving the
pamphlet from the commission, the
mayor signed the resolution passed
by the city council at its last meet
ing, placing Mt. Vernon in the Cen.
traI standard time zone. This, how
ever is unnecessary now that the ruI-
ing of the commission has already
placed Mt. Vernon in the desired
zone,

The Old Guard in the senate has
won out over the few Progressive Ne
publicans by foxy tactics just when it
looked as though the progressive wing
might stir up enough fuss to accom-
plish something. Reed Smoot was
shelved as president pro tempore and
Senator Cummings given the job. But
just as with Gillett in the house, the
progressive attack was broken by
throwing a bone to one of the prin-
cipal leaders and yet yielding nothing

D. A. R. ADVOCATE
Law TO PREVENT
MISUSE OF FLAG
Use OF Emblem for Costumes
and Decorations Arouses
Resentment of Patriotic
Organizations.

Washington, April 15.-Enact-
ment of a federal law to prevent
general misuse and descreation of
the American flag was advocated in
report today to the 18th congress
Of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, in session at Cont
mental hall here.
Mrs. James P. Hume, state regent
of Wisconsin, chairman of the flag
committee, reported that the evil
had increased very greatly since the
armistice. z
The most frequent misuse of the
flag, Mrs. Hume declared, was by
theaters, magazines and in cartoons
and posters. In the latter days of
the war and particularly since the
armistice and with the returning
home of troops, the public. she said,
had used the flag for costumes and
decorations in such way as to arouse
the resentment of patriotic organ
izations.
A resolution endorsing the league
of nations was presented. 1t went
to the committee without comment
on the floor.

prices of building materials today
that the present price of lumber is
lower than it will be at any time in
FIVE years. He said the increased
cost of production, depletion of raw
material in this country and the
enormous increased demand from
Europe to rebuild the vast areas dew
astated by war are certain to mean
higher prices for lumber for at least
years.
Mr.. Keith said that in April, 1917,
the average cost OF producing south
ern pine lumber was $l5.l8 thou
sand feet, while the cost in January,
1919, had increased to $25.85. Last
January the commodity was sold by
the manufacturers at a loss, the wit
ness said, while the present profit
was trihe over 81 thousand feet.
He presented a survey OF the cost of
production at o6 southern mills,
which, he said, should earn a profit
of SO thousand feet in order to
bring a fair return on the actual cap
ital invested
although the lumber mills in the
south are paving their workmen I'M
