Editorial Comment
The Twin Cities Air Mail
Chicago Journal of Commerce


The opening Of the Chicago-Twin Cities air mail
yesterday an important event to Milwaukee
La Crosse, st. Paul and Minneapolis, the cities or
the new line. 1t connected them with Chicago and
thus with all the other cities any air mail route.
Mail leaving Minneapolis at p. m., and st. Paul
at $40, is scheduled to arrive at La Crosse ut
1880, Milwaukee at G:25, and Chicago at 7:15. Con.
Meeting with other air mail lines at Chicago, this
mail reach Detroit, indianapolis, Cleveland, Gin
cnnati, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia. Buf.
falo, or New York next morning, and Boston OF
Washington early next afternoon.
Milwaukee and La Crosse will use the air mail to
connect at Chicago with the planes headed to Sar
Francisco and those going southwest to St. Jo-
seph, Kansas City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Fort
Worth and Dallas. Mail from the Twin Cities, go.
ing by rail to Omaha connects there with the trans
continental line to San Francisco.
In Chicago the opening of one new air mail route
after another evokes hardly any interest," for the ali
mail is an old story here Each of these new routes
too, is less important to Chicago than it is to Tho
new territory which thus obtains air mail service
But the cumulative effect of the opening of all these
routes is highly important to Chicago. For Chicago
by virtue OF her geographical situation, is the CO.
ordinating center Of the air mail system. Chicagy
is the chief city Of the country in respect to air mail
and if she is alive to her opportunities she will be
come the chief city Of the country respect to avia
ton whole.

Disarmament is peculiar problem and cne which

disarmament there must be give and take

Raise the Standard

The standard of scholarship in many law schools
is far too low. The result is that schools and col
leges all over the country turning out hundreds
of embryo lawyers who have far too little funda
mental knowledge of the very principles of legal
practice. States too, have been too lenient with
requirements for admission to the bar. The conse-
quence is that people today entrustng their af
fairs and legal matters to men who are supposedly
skilled, but who in reality not possessed of suf
ficient knowledge to adequately handle their cases.
There is no alternative to general Tightening
up of the requirements asprants to the legal
fesson, whether it be during their college career
in the rules for admission the bars of the var
Gus states.
Lawyers are more than lawyers-they are officers
of the court. higher standard of conduct and
integrity is demanded of them. They are presumed
to be competent to defend the rights Of the public
and prosecute wrongs, both public and private. The
only way to insure that the public will be protected
is to make it impossible for unskilled men or women
to obtain admission to practice.

SesQuicentennial

Naturally the whole nation is anxious to the
sesqucentennial Of the signing of the Declaration Of
independence, at Philadelphia, be success. The
Federal government several states and many for.
egn countries participating in the exposition
which features the celebration. and the city Of Phila
delphia is outdoing itself in an effort to make it
huge success.
From the start, however, plans for the celebra-
ton have gone awry. Several states and countries
backed out at the last minute, friction developed in
the management, construction Of the buildings was
delayed, the opening day it raned-in other
words everything has gone dead wrong.
However, the old saying is that poor beginning
makes good ending, and in this case it is certainly
to be hoped that this is true. We really can't af-
ford to have It be anything but success. for it will
not reflect alone against Philadelphia but against
the whole nation. It is an important anniversary
we are celebrating at the sesquicentennia and fac
tional differences should be dropped long enough to
insure the cooperation necessary to splendid ex-
position.

Congress Has Il Heart

Congress is a house of business az a rule. and SEN
timent there is usually taken with grain of sal.
Dollars and cents and votes seem to be the guiding
spirits to spectator who sits and watches the house
in action for day. But sometimes stirring drama
il enacted in the cradle Of our laws.
So it was the other day when Mrs. John J. Rogers
OF Massachusetts halted fiery debate with few
soft words
The house had been plunged into the bitterest
kind of fractional strife. There were angry words
and profanity Members were accusing another
of trying to jimmy Uncle Sans strong box for a
half a billion dollars" and there harsh words
fem all sides. 1t was filibuster rivers and
harbors, and there is telling how long these
things may last.
The nlaestrom was stilled, the fire quenched, the
house changed from a madhousc OF bowling men to
a silent and respectful body by Mrs. Rogers plea.
1t was boy in the gallery for whom she pleaded

to the wars and come back without eyes hands
who had beaten down the enemy Of his handicap and

Charles Bronner has done more for the govern

He has fought and battle in which hundreds
of our boys have fallen, discouraged at the terrible
odds against them. He has achieved another vic
tory for his country.
He st,cd in the gallery at his mothers side There
was nothing that congress could do for him
because he had fought the good fight himself. To
man they rose, 400 of them, representatives sent
from every of the union to guide the destnies

For moment they stood there was the silence
that comes only with great moments of emotion.

The Golden Age

What is the Golden Age of a mans life? Is it
childhood early manhood. late manhood senility
Does it comprise school days or work days, play
days dull days?
The answer s-middc age. When you pass the
so mark then you are just entering the Golden Age
of life. Gone the foes the illusions of youth,
gone a certain physical exuberance, but in their
place is a balance Of thought, maturity Of appre-
ciation fund of patience that far overbalance the
apparent carefree atmosphere of youth. All these
things should acquire before reach the age of
so so that may more fully enjoy life during its
most fruitful period.

Now it is Senator Cummins whom the Brookhart
manager in Iowa accuses of spending $4,000 to

BUSH 1t is always the other side that is debauchng
the state by the lavish use of money. Inquiry nto
the Pennsylvania primary is to be begun by the
ate committee next week. In the large and easy
way OF party recrmination and political gossip, it
has been variously stated that anywhere from ST.
100000 to $5,OOOO0O spent in Pennsylvania.
Probably the investigation will let good deal Of
the gas out Of these sums. But the fact remains
the conduct of the statewide primary is yearly
becoming more expensive. .@e .s.
Representative Ware Of Pennsylvania has filed an
account OF his own personal outlay 1t amounted to
more than 1900. This seems, by all fair stand
ards OF comparison, staggering amount to nay in
order to secure an office the salary of which for
six years would be only 100000. But the itemized
statement OF Mr.. Ware explains how II q candidate

ADVENTURES:

WHAT THE TWINS SAW IN SHUT
EYE TOWN

The Twins looked at all the queer
people in Shut-Eye Town, going up
and down and in and out, and here
and yonder, willy nilly, the qucerest
way ever. They whisked by under
them, or darted out unexpectedly
from nowhere, disappearing just az
suddenly into nothing.
The most amazing part of it all,
however. was that nobody made q
sound. With so much hustle and
hustle and hurrying and pushing,
you'd have expected it to sound like
circus-day. The Twins must have
showed how very odd they thought
it was, for all at once tall thin
person with long arms like toli-gates
suddenly stretched out one of his
arms in front of them and they had
to stop.
my name is Ceewhillikins," said
he in q solemn voice. why are you
so surprised? -
Its so very quiet" said Nick.
"NobodM seems to make sound. Do
they all wear 0vershoey?'
"No," said Geewhillikins. "But our
streets are made of rubber. Grade
A Number One rubber that never
wears out"
Cant you ever stamp or make
noise !" asked Nancy. "What do you
do when you're cross? ?"
"Cross!" exclaimed Geewhillikins
"Cross! What does that mean? Is it
anything like whooping cough: As
for whooping cough, we have q won

can't hear q thing"
"Say, Mister" said Nick suddenly,
I'VE came to this place to look for a
couple OF friends. 80 we must be 60
ing, l guess. Thank you for telling
US SO much about everything"
But strange to say. Mister Gee:
whillikins turned slowly into great
green lobster with enormous whisk-
ers and green claws like nut
crackers. One Of these nut-cracker
claws he snapped rudeIy before
Nick's nose, looking as though he
should like to say Something rude
also.
But he backed hurricdly away
without any further remark, and
Nancy said Indignantly: Il know
why he did that. He didn't think his
thumb would make enough noise il
he snapped it. so he turned into a
lobster just SO he could have those
horrible claws to snap"
II shouldn't wonder" said Nick.
but, oh, Nancy, look at all those
queer people!"
The Twins stood and watched the
people Of Eye Town go sliding
by in their queer noiscless way.
