work, approaches more nearly TO ulti-
mate wisdom.
On every hand there is evidence to in
dicate the need of swift return to first
principles. Yet clamor continues for a
continuance Of the process of centraliza-
tion through nationalized railroads and
nationalized ships, and even nationalized
mines. II has remained for Hoover, op-
posing this trend, to give the best answer
to the general outcry.
"No scheme of political appointment" !"
said he in the address that Mr.. Kenyon
couldn't understand, "has ever yet been
devised that can replace competition in
its selection of ability and character"
1t is the conviction of Mr.. Root, as it
is the conviction of Mr.. Hoover, that men
who accept employment in industries
vitally affecting the welfare of communi-
ties relinquish the right to strike and
that the public itself, in acknowledgment
of their responsibility, must see to it that
they will not have to fight for justice.
No one will question the wisdom of that
view. But what routineer in politics
ever suggested it before?
Hoover covers wider field than Root.
And it will be difficult for Root to balance
his unqualified appeal for compulsory
military training with his cry for re-
turn to 'the habit cf freedom" If there
is one thing that can eliminate that habit
it is a widespread system of enforced
miIltarlsm. But both men will doubtless
learn as they continue to grapple with
issues that are chanSablc and elusive.
They have set a fashion Of frankness and
courage that other politicians will have
to follow. And that is enough for the
time at least.

REGULAR SERVICE IN AIR
Luxurious Machine Has Been Recent
Iy Put Into Service Between Paris
and London.

Not so much is heard about it all,
to be sure, as in those tremendous
days last summer, when the Atlantic
was being crossed and recrossed in
different kinds of aircraft. Never
theless, records are still being broken
in airplaning and new achievements
recorded, every day. The "varra
laytest," as Weelum Sprunt would
have put it, is a new machine for the
London-Paris service capable Of car
rying "a large number Of passengers
and heavy loads Of cargo" The ma

CENTURY-OLD FRIEND

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. LaFontisee re-
turned last evening from Princeton,
where they have been for the past
two weeks visiting at the home of
Mrs. LaFontisee's father, Owen
Bracken. They were present at the
celebration of the Tooth birth ami
versary of Mr.. Bracken, at which
time old friends from miles around
called at the Bracken home and re-
newed old acquaintance.
Two days we're spent in "open
house" for all friends and at this
time Mr.. LaFontisee met many of his
old pals whom he had not seen for
over 80 years.

PARIS NO LONGER SUPREME.

One Of the interesting and very
worthwhile developments brought
about by the war is the progress that
American designers in women's ap-
parel have made. It is believed that
in the years to come American and
foreign designers will merely ex-
change ideas, each contributing
about an equal share, and that day
is pretty well past with Paris as the
>upreme dictator and America mere
ly as oopyist, or at best able to re-
adapt. -,
