IN tais whole performance the pub
! lie can find one comfort. The po-
litical career of Mr.. Weeks, formerly
secretary of war, is as completely
ended as that Of mackerel carefully
sailed and pressed down at the bot
tom of the barrel.
COLONEL MITCHELLS career
~ is just beginning. The people
will not forget man of courage,
who has refused to join the lick
spittle brigade of officers that say
whatever they are expected to say,
covering the stupidity of superiors
that they may be rewarded with pro-
motion.
MITCHELL ought now to run for
AVA senator on the Democratic
ticket in Wisconsin. He would teach
a useful lesson to some blind Repub-
licans.
Wisconsin appreciates men Of
courage and has not forgotten that
Colonel Mitcbell's grandfather, in the
early days, was one of the best build
srs Of the great state Of Wisconsin.
THE main thing is that the people
i have learned the truth from Nit
chell. What he has said about the
miserable incompetency o, our air
craft has been confirmed by men that
understand flying.
The rest of the Mitchell story will
be told inside of Congress and outside
by Mitchell himself.
Tor real deals in real estate OF
serve New York City. Millions
upon millions are poured out; no one
+. notices it.
One man, +. F. French, announces
building project to supply living
quarters for 100000 people. They
viii be housed in buildings towering
toward the sky and covering a small
plot on Manhnttan Island. In one
corner of greater New York there
,s<ii no a new little group Of 100000
neopie, in itself, one Of the great
tities - America.
WHat will happen II New York
eyer has real estate boom?

Similarly, in France, with the
franc in danger, you see "conserva-
lives" moderates," extreme radl-
calls; crowding together to help the
franc, forgetting hatred for each
ether.
ksTF the franc should go all would
i CO." say the leaders, "and even
though we hate each other we must
consider that fact"
But the franc won't go, and one
fine day those that are selling it
short will wake up with headache.
ENGLAND, celebrating Locarno,
IL suggests TO France: Lets cut
down our fighting air fleet and save
money"
France initiates brother rabbit and
says nothing. The French have the
fighting air machines, and with them
they have safety. The English have
gigantic fleets on the water, battle
ships out of date, merchant ships at
the mercy of filters.
Every little French boy learns by
heart La Fontaine's fable about the
fox with his tail cut off. Franz
will keep her air fleet.
