One often wonders how statesmen
who never mingle with the people
find out just exactly what "the plain
man in the street" thinks, but the
problem seems to be solved by the
assumption that necessarily the man
in the street must reflect the views of
the statesman who is doing the talk
ing. For some reason or other some
people who have the least opportunity
to know what the people are thinking
and take the least pains to find out
are the most prolific in interpretations
of the public mind. Even an afro
ciously bad guess on what the people
were going to do in the matter of
electing congress does not seem to
subdue the oracular tone of these ut
terances. Of course, when some poll
ticians talk about what the people
think and want, they base it all upon
the doctrin that 1--WE are the people,"
or that the peoples minds are only
sounding boards for the masters
voice. National Republican.

WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW
Engineers in Charge of Construction
Work Had Ideas That Now Seem
Little Peculiar.

Light on strange ideas of pioneer
railroad builders was thrown by Ed
ward S. Jouett, general solicitor of
the l.. & N, in talk before the Ro-
tary club at Louisville.
1.-THE Lexington Frankfort line" said
he, was built with longitudinal stone
silis capped with strip of iron, and
the numerous curves, which you have
all noted, are said to have been pur-
posely introduced upon the theory that
they were an advantage in enabling
the conductor the more easily to see
the rear of his train. The coaches
were two-story affairs-women and
children below and men above-and
the motive power was mules to the
top of the hill above Frankfort. The
train was let down the hill into the
city upon an incline operated by
stationary engine.
"You may be interested, in passing,
to learn that with the exception of
few miles near New Orleans, which
antedated it about week, this line
from Lexington to Frankfort is the
oldest railroad in the United States
south of the Ohio and west of the
Alleghenies. 1t was chartered in 1880
very early in railroad history, when
we remember that the first railroad
in the United States was built in 1926,
and the first locomotive engine was
operated in 1929"

Health and HeiQht Count.

Every flying man in the United
States air service has to undergo a
strict medical test periodically in Or
der that he may be classified in one of
four grades. "AA" men are the few
who can stand air work at attitudes
above 10000 feet "A" men can stand
the strain between $4,000 and 10000
feet, while the "B" class consists of
pilots for duties between 5000 and
$4,000 feet, and the "C' group includes
all airmen fit only for service between
ground level and 5000 feet. 1t has
been found that airmen of most robust
physique cannot stand the sudden
changes of air pressure entailed by
diving and rapid climbing for any
length of time. Hence the frequent
medical examinations, carried out by
experts who have drawn up a care.

LIBERIA IS REACHING OUT
Tribes Of That Country, It 10 Said, Are
Accepting the Teachings Of the
Missionaries.

Plenyono Che Wolo, a Liberian Of
the Kru tribe, who graduated from Co
lumbia university, says:
There never has been q scientific
census of Liberia, but the population
Is estimated at from 100000 to 5000.
600, and not more than $4,000 are
Americo-Liberians, the descendants of
liberated slaves. The remainder be-
long to tribes which speak four differ
ent languages and offer only nominal
submission to the government. The
krus elect their kings by the selection
of the most available man of the royal
house. In the Jarroway tribe the king
is an absolute monarch for the reign
of six years, and is then put to death.
Other tribes also follow different GUS
toms.
The tribes do not acknowledge the
government of Monrovia, because they
feel that it does not protect them. BY
treaty the United States government
is required to help the AmericO-Libe-
rians against the tribes, and in 1912
this country helped put down a rebel
lion of the Krus

Girbas are being taught by Episcopal
missionaries, and the Fulingos, who

tive tribes studying in the United

The snub which Al. Burleson re-
ceived from the British government
recently must have tilted his nose to a
degree which made walking in rain
storm a peril by drowning. The Brit
ish government notified the CONNER
cial Gable company that it would assist
the Western Union company in hand
ling cable traffic from Great Britain
while the latter company's service was
interrupted, only con condition that no
control be exercised from America"
If this isn't hint to the American
people as to the INSCRIPTIONS manner
in which Burleson is editing cable
news with political chart in front of
him, we don't know what it is. "Bur-
ley" may have embezzled the cables,
but the British government will not be
a party to perverting or manufacture
ing dispatches.-Sam Langum in Pres
