AN AMERICAN THOUGHT

They arc terribly worried in Eng land about of Prince of Wales. He is riskng his life too much, falling off horses and things like that The news papers are publishing editorials re- minding him that the people arc very much concerned over the way he is going into danger; that he is not a prvate person but a national asset; that although he is fully entitled to recreation it is time he imposed rez straint upon his pluck spirits
 This is the way the conservative papers treat the prince. The laborite newspapers however, insinlate that he spends his days in riding and his nights in dancing, and says that it is time he took life more seriously and time he took life more seriously more worth while. But the worst slam of all and the one which will un- doubtedly cut most deeply into the princes royal skin, is the suggestion that he's a rotten horseman and that he falls off horses because he doesn't know how to ride. !,
 It is quite likely that the prince will smile over the criticisms, but that he will get pretty mad over, this one. But this solicitous attitude of the great newspapers, and the humbly pa ternal interest they take in the young man, brings a more serious thought to us here in this country, where every lad born in the United States grows up with the echo of his mothers pray CTS in his ears--a prayer and hope tihat her son may be President Of the United States.
 Without waving the Stars and stripes and without spreading the great wings of the American eagle too much. it may be modestly suggested that there is inspiration in this thought which has been held in every mothers breast as she kissed her child good night. Each mother in the land has looked at her son as the possible head of our government. There may have been no expression nf the conviction: the mother hay have cherished her secret hope. but i' has been there in her 'heart all the time. And tine worst of il is thst there has been in us. at some time early in life. the echo Of that conviction. It is the fault that we have not justified her faith in us; that we have not seized our opportunities and made Of ourselves men strong enough and fine enough 10 bc worthy of the highest position in the world.
 This thought, coming late in life pcrha ps, inspires the desire 10 make of the rest Of our lives something so fine and strong that we may at least approach her ideal Of us. II is never loo late to justify. in a measure. con- sJcnce placed in ns.

THE GREAT FLIGHT

From Santa Monica yesterday there started the United States army avia- tors on their 30,00O mile trip around the world. There are four planes in the flight and scattered at the many stopping places will be extra engines and other necessaries, the arrange ments for which have taken long time to make.
 Such ambitious plans as this are apt to be looked upon with some disfavor by those of the unimaginative type who see no practical results that may come-that are expected 10 come from this attempt to do what other nations have failed to accomplish. They will get little satisfaction out of the fact, if the flight is successful. that the United States was the first government to accomplish this feat.
 But there Is more than q record by the United states to be established in this undertaking. The prime motive back of 1t is to show the possibilities of commercial aviation. No attempt is being made to circle the globe with one machine, although such an at- tempt would indicate a greater im- portance being attached to the enter prise from q sporting point Of view. What is sought is to establish the pos sibility of an aerial trade route across the Pacific. through China. Turkey and London and thence to Greenland, and. nnally. back to California. This practical hope is the one to be cm- phasizcd as appealing to the people whoa incidentally. will pay the cX- penscs of thc adventure. All the nec- cssary precautions are being taken. There will bc no attempt to foolhardy flying. 1t is said that the longest leg Of the 3o.ee0 mile journey will not cover q distance Of more than S6O miles. There Wiil be an attempt made. Of course. Co complete the trip as quickly as possible after maintaining this attitude of viewing it from a com mon stnsc standpoint. But speed will be condition secondary t9 thc more practical one of accomplishing some thing that will be real boost to com merciai aviaaon. The normal maxi mum speed Of the planes to Be used is reported as about Ioe miles an hour but there will be no tender ncy 10 haste at the expense of success.
 Viewed in this light great things may De accomplished without for 8

THE REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN

The selection, and his assumed will ingness to accept the position, of Will liam H. Judd, alderman from the third ward, for the position of chair man of the republican town committee last night is another indication of the stern fight the party in New Britain plans to make, not only to elect its mayoralty candidate, but to become more of power in the state republi- can machine. Following upon the heels of the earnest efforts of the local or ganization to persuade a man to run for the mayoralty who would unite all factions. it discloses a determination to place New Britain among the com munities which may be relied upon" when national election is approach ing.
 Although Mir. Judd has been active in politics but a comparatively short time he has grasped the position in which he was placed with the attitude of one fully aware of what was to be expected of leader. His strong posi- ton in the common council is unques- tioned his attitude is that of one who knows exactly what he intends to do, and goes through with 1t without being moved a particle from the plan ned course of action. Many have dis approved of the position he has taken on various matters. notably when he insisted that 1t was the intention to allow the female clerks in city hall no more than SLIGO, regardless of other considerations. Those who see so often the hand of the republican ma chine in local handling of affairs, and who believe that New Britain is a far happier city when the machines hold upon it is not strong, may disapprove of many future actions of MT. Judd. But there is no question as to his qualities of leadership and of his per- sonal integrity. What he says is listen cd to carefully by members of his own and the opposing party. This strength in the common council will aid him in maintaining, possibly strengthening, the local organization.

ENTER LAFOLLETTE


 Toilette, leader of the progressive bloc" in the senate may run for the presidency oh a third party ticket if President Coolidge is nominated on a conservative platform, First eliminate nominated on a conservative platform or, if the platform is not conservative theoretically, the interpretation of Il practically will be conservative. "Rea- sonable. safe and sane" are the quail flying words which are used to praise President Coolidge by those who see none other than the present chief executive on the horizon.
 Thus, this If" being cut out, the statement remains that Senator La Toilette may run as third party candidate. Again the words third party" mean nothing. If he runs ii will be as a progressive republican bloc candidate, and again, if he does run, the progressive block in the sen- ate will be strengthened. Now the pro- pressive bloc, as it stands, has done some good. The combination of re- publicans with the democrats has not proven an evil thing. But what would result if the progressive republicans, giving added strength to the demo- crats because of LaFollette's candida cy, become more troublesome to the republican majority and also infiu- ences the democratic minority to a greater extent than at present. Ger tainly 1t has been evident that the at titude of tine democratic minority has been affected by its desire to have the support of the progressive republicans Senator Underwood, and other con- servative democrats, do not like the prospect of the growing influence of the progressive bloc. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that there would be formed, within the democra- tic party, conservative bloc to meet the republican progressive bloc.
 The peculiar situation would result that a strengthening of the influence of Senator LaFollette would be sought by his running for the presidency. It is extremely doubtful if he could ex- pect to gain the nomination; still more doubtful that he believes he could win the election unless he feels that the oil scandal which has so harmed the present republican administration will bring a landslide which would elect any democrat that might get the nomination. At any rate it is likely that if Senator LaFollette does run it will be for the purpose of strength ening his group in the senate and, through such added strength, place him in a better position four years from now than he is in at present to make real bid for that coveted chair in the White House.

POOR LII, or NEW YORK

Ever since the home service secre- tary of the Salvation Army was re. ported to have commented upon the great number of people in New York who indulge in the habit of talking to themselves. certain persons who comment on life and life's affairs have seemed to take delight in telling how nerve-wracking is life in the big city And when that portion of the re- ported statement of Brigadier Ed wards, that much of this self-com- munication is due tn the use of drugs such wise observers of life declare that high-tension inspires a craving for drugs, therefore it is New York life, after all which accounts for the habit of murmuring words into ones own ears.
 One wonders what many of these erudite and observing persons know personally about New York life. Per haps there is no city in the country where there are, proportionately, a greater number of peaceful homes, presided over by home-loying people. It is possible. even, that they do not realize how many children grow mp in the city without ever developing eases nf hnt raaoh calm maturity which no street-corner dog fight, no salacious bit of gossip can throw into state of gossiping frenzy.
 Those who generously admit that there may be a certain stimulant in New York life, if taken in small doses, are, quite probably, the people who have known New York life only in small doses. Perhaps they stand at Forty-second street and Broadway and are amazed at the throng; per haps they notice the people lodging automobiles and muttering to them selves. One wonders, incidentally, if Brigadier Edwards. when he spoke of the great numbers of people talking to themselves as they walk the streets of New York, inquired whether or not they were visitors to the city, taking New Yorl, life in small doses, or were they old New Workers. Ono who knows New oYrk doubts, even, if New York drug users talk to themselves. And the man familiar with New York from personal experience through many years is quite sure New Workers who have made that city their home. cn- toying life in a sane way--the usual way of New York men and women--, are not affected by the air of some thing doing" all the time, which seems to distress so many people living in smaller, very much smaller communi- ties.
 And one wonders, too, since statis- tics arc implied in this discussion, why it is that they tell us there is a great CT percentage of insanity among those living in rural communities than hI the great cities. If New York life is so terrible why should not this percent age be reversed?
 But Lil' or New York needs no do- fense---shc has not time to make any. No matter how much her little neigh bors may gossip about her and her evil habits. she will continue to leave those little ncighbors alone. She has bigger things to think about.
