Loag-Route Air Mail

Last week there lifted from Gil aero
field in the suburbs of New York city
the first of transcontinental mail
planes. The destination was San
Francisco and this aerial mail arrived
at the Western destination at 1925 p.
m. Saturday, San Francisco tie.
About three days and seven hours
were required for the air line transit,
which is fully a day gain over the
fastest railroad route delivery.
1t is not to be doubted that, even
tually, air route mail lines will be es-
tablished and operated upon regular
and dependable schedules. 1t can
hardly be claimed that air route mail
delivery has, as yet, attained status
in this country that is of great prac-
tical Importance The War Depart
ment and the Postofice Department
have given a number of illustrations
of what can be done, under favoring
conditions, in long distance flying.
The fight to Alaska was an impress
sive object lesson and so, also, the
last week mail delivery from New
York to San Francisco.
The thing in need is not so much
a cross-country flight from the Allan
tic to the Pacific in the practical
handling of the postoffice business as
steady, dependable every day deliv-
cry over shorter routes that are not
properly served by railroad or steam
boat deliveries. The telegraph and
the telephone are used almost exclu-
sively for long distance messages of
urgent Importance. AS an agency in
matchmaking the flying machine has
a special or star route Importance.
This is the phase that awaits efficient
development-EX.

No Flu/Epidcnlic Expected This Year

Richmond, Sept. 15-Infuenza au-
thorities, state and national, appear
TO &c satisfied that no recurrence of
intc,n-a ii n epidemic form may be
anticipated this year. There may be
a few desultc:'y cases but even if
these happen, it is probable that the
flu will be Of Il milder form than in
1918 and 1879.
However, the State Health Com
missioner, while confirming this good
news, wishes - warn Virginians
against habits Of carelessness which
each year make the early winter
months report such an increase in
the spray borne diseases, or the dis

by the cersus Office and forwarded u
the Clerk, and which shows that we
have lost in population since 1910 to
the extent of 3S6.
We are not prepared to concede
that the spirit of unrest, so apparent
during and since the world war, has
been more pronounced in Highland
| than elsewhere, but in SO many in
stances those who have moved from
Highland have sold out to non-resi-
dents seeking grazing lands, or had
their estates taken over by neighbors
who wanted larger boundaries, thus
leaving no one in their places to
hold the level or swell population.
| That the business men of the town
land county are to some extent respon
isible and open to censure, no one can
deny, because the county is without
any organization to work for its bet
terment, growth or development, and
instead of holding out inducements
and putting Highland on the map, we
: are virtually Indifferent and submis-
i ive in the face of conditions detri-
mental to every public and private
interest. The thoughtful, intelligent
citizen need not to be reminded as to
what conditions we refer, and details
would be lost on the old fogy, self
satisfied and selfish. There are those
who predict that the next decenni-
al period will show even a greater
falling off in population than the one
! just enumerated, and it doubtless will
be so unless we can find Moses to
lead us out of the wilderness of bad
roads and into the limelight of a sum

that line.

statement that Nominee" Harding called the late
Theodore Roosevelt Benedict Arnold and Senator
johnson traitor? Right after the Chicago convention

porter Of the Wilson administration dug up some ed-
toras which were published back in 1872 by the Marion
Star, newspaper owned by Senator Harding. AS
straight Republican newspaper the Star was indignant
about the Roosevelt bolt which promised to make
great deal Of trouble for the party and it talked about
the candidates Of the third party in fashion that was
decidedly pointed to say the least great many otner
Republican newspapers were doing the same thing.
That is all there is to the Benedict Arnold and traitor
story and The Times will not make any votes for the
Democratic candidate whoever he may be, nor keep any
votes away from the Republican candidate by trying to
make the public believe that there has been an attack
