Rev. Joseph tombstone Muir.

A long life devoted to the service oi
humanity closed yesterday when Rev
Joseph Johnstone Muir, for nearly q
quarter of a century the occupant oi
a pulpit in this city and for severa
years the chaplain of the United
States Senate, died suddenly. He had
been active in his church work up tt
the eve Of his death, having addressed
the association of the Baptist demon
ination only few hours before. Nc
happier conclusion Of a career of de
votion to the cause Of religion could
have been wished.
DR.. Muir endeared himself to Wash
ington in the course Of his long duty
as pastor lof the Temple Baptist
Church. He was active in his min
istry, and yet he broadened his in
terests to all matters pertaining tc
the welfare of the community OF
which he became a member upon his
assignment to that church, and with
the advancement Of which he was
identified. A quiet man, modest and
conservative in his methods, he was
nevertheless felt as force, even be-
yond the scope of his immediate min
istry.
1t was fitting that this elder of the
church should be chosen as chaplain
of the Senate. He served in that
capacity admirably, and he became in
a measure national figure through
that service. His daily invocations at
the opening Of the sessions Of that
chamber Of Congress were models OF
expression and breathed a spirit OF
faith and confidence in the triumph
of righteousness. His passing will be
sincerely mourned by his official con
gregation, the Senate. as it Is by all
unofficial Washingtonians, by whom
DIR. Muir was greatly beloved.

Wright Witnesses
HOnors to Lindbergh

From the Boston Herald.
We wonder what thoughts must
have occupied the mind Of Orville
Wright as he sat on the stage in the
presence Of a vast audience in a great
auditorium in Washington and wit
messed the presentation by the Presi-
dent Of the United States Of the Hub
bard medal of the National Geographic
Society to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
We surmise that Orville Wright
thought OF his brother. Wilbur, the
devoted and sympathetic friend with
whom his intimacy had been as close
and fine as ever are human contacts
in this imperfect world.
We fancy his memory went back to
Kitty Hawk and its lonely sand dunes.
where with his brother he had wrought
out patiently and undauntedly the
problem of human flight. where he
and his brother had tossed a coin to
decide which of the twain should first
adventure into the air with their frail
and crude plane, and where year after
wear they studied and made trial
flights while the world, all unknowing
and Indifferent, smiled indulgently
over the meager reports OF their ex-
periments which occasionally filtered
out from the Carolina coast.
We assume that the ceremony at
the Capital of the Nation. meant more
to him than to any other person pres
ent excepting Col. Lindbergh himself.
The wonder of it all! A little bicycle

which widened in 1924, had not then
become so noticeable. though Mr..
Bryan did not take kindly to the nomf.

Detroit Election Is Studied
AS Straw in Wet-Dry Fight

American comments on the election
Of a new mayor of Detroit indicate
somewhat hazy views, but there are
some editors who see in the defeat
Of a wet mayor. John w. Smith. in
a supposedly wet city, significant
development. They wonder If 1t Is
typical of unsuspected sentiment In
the Nations centers Of population
As the mayor.elect, John c. Lodge, is
a relative of Col. Lindbergh, the lat.
ters reflected popularity is considered
in a few comments.
The Detroit News, with the home
town point of view, is impressed by
the fact that the election shows how
"a citizen we'll known to the people
can be nominated and elected with.
out any effort on his part; how he
can be drafted for nomination., how
his name can be placed on the pri-
mary ticket without action on his
part: how without speech or even
a statement he can be nominated; how
without a campaign, and in the face
Of a bitter effort against him, he can
he elected. John c. Lodge becomes
mavor by a. popular movement; spon-
taneous. unorganized. He has made
no promises, Is responsible to no IN
diyidual, clique, faction or party. out
to all the people Of Detroit. He IS
free to act as he thinks best, checked
only by the popular verdict after MS
administration is tried ana 1uosea:
Is not that the sort OF mayor gooo
citizens desire?"
"Tt is possible that the wet issue
was raised only in an attempt to
oversbadow local issues" suggests
the Houston Chronicle. while the ST:
Joseph News.Press finds evidence OF
siss,,es confused by cross.currents OF
local sentiment" The columbus
Ohio state Journal is of the opinion
that "Mayor Smith has been a good
noovor and it looks as if Mr.. Lodge,
who is granduncle of Col Lind
bergh. a fact which probably did not
hurt him at all In his silent CAM
naien. would be another good one:
His declaration Of independence OF
professional reformers and the kian
crowd is particularly encouraging.
though it must have depressed some
of his most eager supporters.
y \ \
"An odd character in American
politics" is the verdict OF the Youngs-
town Vindicator, which, however,
South Bend Tribune remarks: "Citi-
zens Of Detroit who believe ID prohi.
bition will see in Mr.. Lodges sensible
statement against professional drys)
vindication of their good Judgment.
On the other hand those who do not
approve of prohibition, but believe
In law and order. are also gratlfied
by the outcome Of the election"
The Adrian Telegram adds: "It was
not dry victory In the sense that
the drys had program and got a
mandate from the people to carry it
out. Instead the vets had program
and they failed to get a mandate to
carry it out. 1t was a positive de-
feat for liquor, a negative victory for
the drys--a rather fne distinction,
but a real one"
The Asheyille Times quotes the
statement sk the naayor.elect that
