THIS nation needs an air force
l. controlled by men that under
stand flying, men that are interested
in the difference between an all
metal monoplane and a weak cloth
made biplane, more than in neat uni
forms, or servile saluting.
Providence, taking care OF the
birds, put in charge of them the
brains Of birds, not the brains Of rab-
bits or turtles.
why should this nation, depending
for its safety in war, upon flying
machines and flying men, put the
nations flying department under the
control Of human rabbits from the
navy or turtles from the army.

Xy.OU need not be newspaper
n man all your life to under
stand the most important fact
in newspaper work, and John j.
Mitchell, president of the Illinois
Merchants Trust company, proves 1t.
To his intense surprise, when
Victor Lawson died Mr.. Mitchell
found the Chicago Daily News drop
ped into his lap with power to do
with it as he pleased. This is what
he did. according to accounts in the
Chicago Daily News office.
He sent for three men upon whom
Victor Lawson had relied, in his
lifetime, and said to them:
Il know that a newspaper must
rely for success on newspapermen,
as banks rely on bankers. II you
want my advice, and you ought not
10 need it, I will give it to you.
But I want you TO decide what
ought to be done, and do it, all i
ask Of you is to prove to me that
Victor Lawson showed good judy
ment when he made you his chief
assistants, and to agree among
yourselves"
