FLYING ACROSS ME ATLANTIC.

The people of the United States are
elated at the success of American avia-
tors in crossing the Atlantic ocean in an
American naval sea plane The. flight
was started from the shores of New
foundland on the 18th of May and the
men arrived at Lisbon, Portugal, on
May 81. That was not very fast time,
but the birdmen put up at the Azores
and were held there from the 18th of
May until the Goth. 1t required only
sixteen hours to fly from Newfoundland
to the Azores, more than 1900 miles,
and from the Azores to Lisbon, approx
mately 7S6 miles. about six hours. Com
mander Albert Gushing Read was in
charge of the successful sea plane and
he was accompanied by five compan-
ions.
In years agone, poets and dreamers
have written and sung Of such an .ac-
complishment, but twenty-five years
ago there was not a person living who
ever expected to see the day that such
a feat was actually accomplished.

THE LIMIT IN cYNICIsM.

Minneapolis Journal: The German
mind remains mystery and the pro,
cesses by which it reaches its conclu-
sions unfathomable. The Taglische
,Rundschau says Of Mr.. Wilson:
He deceived us, hating Germany with
an Indian hate-this man who was re-
elected president, thanks to German.
Americans, through the connivance of
our foreign office.
Assuming this publication speaks sin
cerely and not simply with the purpose
of injuring the president here by the in
situation that his reelection was due
to the prO-German vote, think of the
effrontery Of the statement! Any civi-
lized patton on earth that had had the
impudence to cOnnive concerning the
internal politics of another, would at
least keep discreet silence on the
subject.
But here is a German newspaper
openly proclaiming that, while the
United States was stll neutral, Ger
many interfered with view to its own
advantage in a presidential election.
Still further it is complaining of the
fact that the interference has not been
rewarded.
For absolute cynicisnl in public
decency and morality, we must still
turn. despite it's defeat, to Germany.

TURNING DOWN THE IRIsH.

President Wilson is disposed to let
Secretary Lansing take the blame fol-
any displeasure that the administra-
|tion. may encounter. on account of the
irish question. You see, the Irish have
a very strong vote in New York City,
and New York City may be needed at
thenext election Hence when an Irish
committee is TO be turned down, Mr..
Lansing is the man selected for the I'M
pleasant duty. The attempts of former
Gov. Dunno Of Illinois, Frank p. Walsh
and Michael F. Ryan, representing Irish
societies in the United States, to secure
safe conduct to Paris to present the
Irish case to the peace conference is
thus disposed of by the president in a
letter written to Mr.. Walsh by Secre-
tary Lansing, after acknowledging the
request for hearing by the Irish repre-
sentatives:

myself with the facts of the case which

UNsCRAMBLING RAILROADS.

Chicago Tribune: The war should
have taught us, if it taught us moth
ing else, to think of the railroads in
terms of the national interest. Before
the war it was the habit not only to
discuss the railroads but to draft rail-
road legislation in terms of this or that
private interest. Shippers, consumers.
security holders and politicians were
all seeking some special advantage. and
for the most part were working at cross
purposes.
The railroads suffered in conse-
quence While stock manipulators and
to lesser degree railway executives
were responsible for grave wrongs.
other elements in the community were
no less culpable for the condition in
which the railroads found themselves
at the outbreak of the war. The pub
lie generally and the shippers in parti-
cular must be blamed for the heavy
hand which the Interstate commerce

1t is to be hoped that we have learn
ed what vital and necessary function
the railroads perform in our national
existence. If we have learned that,
congress can consider the present prob
lem with the sole object in,view OF pro-
viding this country with the best pos
sible transportation service. 1t will
no longer be necessary to proceed on
the principle OF first propitiating the
special interests.
/. We realize it will not be simple;
ma tier; to- arrive at a solution. 1t will
require the highest type Of statesman,

railroad problems, seems to be ap-

and good judgment. He does not be-
