TELLS OF FLIGHT
ACROSS ANDES

Washington.-Latin America rapidly
is producing notable aviatOrs. Every
encouragement to flying is given by
numerous private clubs that look upon
aviation as sport and as the solution
Of difficult problems Of the transporta-
tion of mail, passengers and merchan-
disc. Frequently only few miles OF
airline separate two important towns
between which communication except
by wire is a matter of days, II not
weeks. This is due to mountainous
topography, lack of railways and the
rough and winding character OF the
few roads and trails. These handicaps
seem only to stimulate the young
South American to greater feats in the
air and the governments to overcome
them by establishing regular service
as a matter of business. Together
these forces are working develop
ment of aviation in South America.
Flight Across Andes.
The particulars of the recent flight

Godoy of Chile, have come to the Pan

Wilson called clearly recognized
lines of nationality"
There are complexities still un-
solved and perils that can not be
avoided arising from the intermix-
ture and Interpretation of races
and languages and the absence of
clearly defined frontiers. There are
perils arising from mutilations and
temporary annexations of parts of
Germany itself and from claims
like that of Italy over Jugo-Slavia.
The future OF some of the Asiatic
races Is still undecided. But this
much is true, that the ancient servi-
tudes are gone forever, and that
Europe, at any rate, now consists of
free peoples, with the one solitary
exception of Ireland.
But that is not the full extent OF
the anomaly. White peoples in the
rest of the world, all of them of
shoots of Great Britain, had already
made good their right to self-deter-
mination, so that Ireland survives
as the only white community on the
face of the globe where the gov
eminent by consent" which Presi-
dent Wilson summoned the Organ
tain, is not established. II in Ire
land special circumstances could be
shown to exist which distinguish
her case from all others, it would
still be hardly possible to justify
an Anomaly so fragrant. But there
are none. On the contrary, her
case is simpler than that of any of
the host of new European rationale
ties. She is an island, with the
best and most immutable of all
frontiers, the sea, with an histori-
cal identity beyond dispute and an
historical unity beyond dispute, for,
although conquered and to some ex-
tent colonized, she has absorbed
conquerors and colonists, so that all
her inhabitants call themselves
Irishmen, live under an Irish adj
ministration, and obey laws COM
mon to the whole island, but differ
ing widely from those OF Great
Britain.
And among these Irishmen,
Ulstermen included, there is a
larger measure of unanimity for
unified self-government and a
smaller and a less difficult minority
problem than in any of the new
Europeas states. while minority
problems at least as difficult were
surmounted in the great dominions.
Nor does freedom for Ireland raise
any Interior international problems
and difficulties like those which, in
default of the most unselfish and
enlightened craftsmanship, threaten
the new Europe.

Courier-Journal and Times in their
efforts to create discord. Daily and
weekly assaults are made on Senator
Stanley and attempts made to
arouse feeling against him in the
party. The only way possible it
seems for the Senator to satisfy
these two papers would be to re-
sign and tender his six-year term
to Mr.. Bingham. Gov. Black comes
in pretty often for jibes and taunts,
but the Governors open record and
his readiness to meet all questions
has frightened the bushwackers into
being exposed as Mr.. Hert's chief
Republican aides. In newspaper
ranks the situation is amusing.
While Messrs. Hert and Bingham
are playing the roles of Damon and
'Pythias the poor old standby, the
Louisville Herald, the original Re
publican organ, has to bear the
brunt of explaining away the fail
ures of the Republican Congress
and, worst of all, the failure of the
local misfit administration. Yet the
Bingham press is the court favorite
of Boss Hert.

the Courier-Journal and Times is
amusing and their effort to create
discord when the new Collector was
appointed didn't fool anyone. Two
or three times the story was printed
that no local Democrat would accept
a position under Elwood Hamilton
because all were sore over the fail
ure of Charley Cronan to land the
place, thus putting Mr.. Cronan in
the attitude of a dog-in-the-manger
and the local Democratic organiza-
ton in the role of stupid politicians.
The move was made to create feel
ing against the Democratic Commit
tee principally but it fell flat, and
the writer doesn't know of a single
Democrat wanting a position but
will jump at the opportunity OF
working in the Collectors office.

Committee, whom the Bingham

every Democrat appreciates the
fact that Frank McGrath as a
leader is the right man for Chair

This has been another week of

G. o. p. that the leaders have be-
come desperate. First came the re-
bellion of the colored voters in the
candidacy of Marley, and it took
every asset in the ranks in money,
brains and Drawn to steal the cleo
ton away from the colored man by
slim majority Of eighty votes.
And this right in the home town of
lobe Hert, the big boss, and Ches
Searcy, the Louisville boss and
State Campaign Chairman. Marley
is still fighting the result in. court,
having coolies of evidence as to
fraud and intimidation, and if the
contest doesn't bring out the
evidence what an array will be given
to some grand jury Pretty near
everyone in town knows the names
of men who offered 5000 and $500
to Democratic challengers; the
reputable lawyers stationed in the
polls can tell of fraud and repeating
and many can testify to Republican
being stamped on the table openly
It is rumored many of the leading
performers are preparing to fit
away while fitting is good, while
the anti-Hert and Searcy Republic
ans out in the State are laughing
over the bungled mess made right
here in the bosses town.
The failure to beat Marley on the
square and the open rebellion of
the colored Republicans throughout
the State must have been a knock
out for the G.. o. P. dictators, as

would not be bad idea to reserve

in person to a big colored picnic al
Melwood Park, accompanied by 9
few Of the colored Republicans who
hold minor jobs in the City Hal
and Court House. One of the
prominent Morrow boosters there
was DR.. Peters, the negro physician
who holds city job and who was
twice indicted and found guilty fol
peddling cocaine. The Republican
machine candidate delivered al
address which the colored pape
here says contained the same OLD
