From The Philadelphia Public Ledger. 6N1HE average man is not a. bad fel-
 low when you come to know him.
 S You have to make his acquain-
 tance if you are not to hold your self aloof from this human, interdepeu- dent world. He constitutes a majority, It is by his vote that candidates are set up and issues determined and business governed and charities supported and plays patronized. There is a great deal of money in pleasing the average man. Moreover, the level of his tastes is rising. though pessin1ists refuse to see it or to say so. He is capable of education and he has travelled far since his training be- gan.
 He needn't always be given all that takes and sometimes he wants what isn t good for him. Sometimes he loses his head and in an incendiary or inebriate temper does that which a cooler judg- ment in a calrner hour leads him to be sorry for. But on the whole, he IS strangely reasonable and patient and self-controlled. It is touching to find how often he is doing the best he can, according to the light he has. He serves the world far better than some eccentric and unconventional mortals who sheer at him for following a dull. unemotiop- al routine.

 The lowest cost of outlet and trans portation to the market lies down the inland water courses and through the port of Mobile. The port in itself is a mere expanse of water> It can not dock, load and unload, bunker nd quarter ships without wharves, ware houses, storage bins and host of terminal facilities. These the city of Mobile cannot establish in. adequate form and capacity. State aid is nec- .essary if Alabama's only port serves the people of Alabama as it should serve them.
 The farmer, who votes for the state port aid amendment, is voting for the superior marketing of his products and the assurance of an economic route to world consumption.

THE AVERAGE MAN

with the average man. to talk his 1an- guage and to understand his ways They have taught the rank and file to discover latent capacity and to reveal strength hidden and unsuspected- They have had faith in ''the general good sense and honest/ intentions of mankind. ' They have genuinely loved their fellows. and their sympathy has been real and manifest Neither in war no in peace is d victory to be won unless the captains put their confidence in a host.
 When we display our fears for the future of the world and prophecy the collapse of civilization in black ruin we haven lost faith in what "all of the people of all the tme'' can and will do. There is confusion and there is lawless- ness and we forget that the whole world emerged from "chaos and old night" We forget the bloody insurrections of earlier ages that disfigured the, earth and we act as though upheaval were new thing and as though reason and justice would never again be domiciled among the children of men. But the people in time, if we trust them, will bring back the reign of law, the beauty of tram guilty.

From The Pittsburg Dispatch.
 TIT is condition for curious and per
 haps vexing contemplation that so = many important inventions should be more conspicuous for their use in Eu- rone than in America, the country -of their conception and origin. The air. nlane is notably one of these. It may be that it's more insistent use across the Atlantic. especially in England. is due to influerice of the war, in which the flying machine played so vital part that it's Teal importance is not yet fully appreci- ated.
 While we are hearing occasionally or spectacular performances and just now of experimental flights across continent from ocean to ocean and to Alaska Flu rope is in the full enjoyment of pleasure and commercial journeys so constant that they are catalogued with the mere com nonplace, In The London Times, by way of illustration, appear daily advertlse- ments of regular flights of planes by five different companies, scheduled to the minute. plying betwesn London and Paris. Brussels, Amsterdam and other continental cities, for passenger, 1relgnt and mail service, not to speak of num- ber,ess taxis ready at all times for joy

rides or short trips for recreation, the latter for the small fare of two shllllngs and six pence mile. Fares across chan- nel and to the inland cities are seeming ly high, but the shortened time for pas- sage is compensation for the charge. The time between London and Paris is two and one-half hours, as compared to from six to nine hours by train and boat. and flights are made regardless of weath- er Perhaps the most unusual feature is that of daily service between London and the Dutch city of Amsterdam
 These are merely few illustration of en- ployment of the airplane which is cuita general in Europe,so, regularly scheduld and continuous that 1t is hardly exploited moro than tho moving of trains CT ma- rine craft. Here in America where the first conquest of the heavier-than-air machines were by models devised by Professor Samuel P.

Earth's Teeming Millions
 Candidates for a Madhouse

A u the world is crazy, says Dr. |E& Charles G. Hill, a noted alien ist of Baltimore Among the fifty seven varieties of lunatics he classes the baseball fan as the worst. The learned doctor probably means that the baseball fan, being the most nu- merous in America, is the most noticeable His lunacy, however, does far less harm than the more danger ous form, for instance, which makes bolshevism menace to the peace of the world.
 Getting down to technicalities, Dr. Hill diagnoses humanity's affliction as a "penumbral mental condition. /" This insanity has been held in re- straint for years, but it was let loose by the war and now, according to the Baltimore authority we gmight circle the earth without finding one normal human being. The only flaw in his argument is that there are great many people scattered about in vari- ous remote parts of the earth's sur face who have never heard of the war, while there are others who have heard about it, but know little and care less.
 Among the so-called civilized na- tions wars reactions have been felt. It takes no alienist to tell us that. They have been felt in hundreds of ways, inimical to our peace of mind, our prosperity and our morals. That we are any crazier than we were before the war is doubtful We are unquestionably less secretive about it,
 What pleasant old world this l would be-except for umpires-if the only insanity extant were the kind prevalent on the bleachers and in the grandstand seats when the Hon. "Babe" Ruth hits home run! Then, indeed, would the millennium be "just around the corner"

Danger of a Russian
 and German Coalition

N7OT at all fanciful is the report IN from Russia by way of Kolno, Poland, that soviet Russia plans an al- liance with Germany.
 The Kolno authority says the soviet government, after the conquest of Poland, will request right of way across Germany to attack France. This they expect the German govern ment to refuse, but they look for a revolution in Germany to set aside that refusal and the accession of Ger man revolutionists to their standard.
 It is the threat of new world war and the Russian masses back of that If these masses, under soviet influ- ence, acquire real soviet impulse, tine tured with patriotism, they will con stitute an avalanche of brute force and numbers that the world cannot regard but with the utmost serious ness.
 A Russo-German alliance is the danger of the world today It has been so since the Brest- -Litovsk treaty. It will be so until Russia is stabilized and the bolsheviki in one way or another are removed from power and influence. Russian hordes and German science and propaganda constitute the probability of coali- tion that united Christendom must exert all it's powers to prevent.
 It is for prevention of just such recurrent war horrors as this com bination that the League of Nations was formed. Imperfect as it is, it is the worlds hope today.
