NEVER IN HISTORY

Colonel Lindbergh gives the i'm
preston Of youth who is not un-
duly upset over the honors con-
ferred upon him. After Washington
was through celebrating he flew to
New York with the skill of. the &C
complished airman he is and there
became the center of the huge city's
admiration. Throughout it all he
conducted himself with his accus-
toned modesty, somewhat stunned
perhaps, but accepting the dazzling
receptions in the spirit of one who
IS accustomed to conditions is he
finds them.
Writers are trying to discover
whether any person in history was
ever accorded such receptions as
have come to Lindbergh since his
memorable lone-eagle flight across
the Atlantic. The unanimous verdict
is that never had a youth been the
center of such gorgeous honors. The
me-coming receptions accorded
Roman conquerors dwindle in com.
parison.
New York rose to the occasion
with all the might of metropolitan
power. st. Louis will be next. Oul
best bet is the colonel will be glat

for him. He began with an IDEAL
and idealistic he remains.
The secret Of the Lindbergh at
titude toward success is not embrace
ed in monetary rewards. but to serve
mankind by contributing to Its ad-
vancement. He prefers to continue
as flier; he sees in that the
quintessence OF human endeavor.
He prefers to remain the amateur
sportsman, the youth who combines
vocation with avocation, who be-
lieves he should follow along the
path Of natures endowment re-
gardless of how much or how little
there Is in it. When he sat alone
in the cockpit with courage. the
black night OF the north Atlantic
around him, the eyes of the universe
above him-when not hidden by
fog, hail or rain-and the yawning
deep of the turbulent seas below
him. he probably had thoughts, and
they stay hidden with him still. He
is young, but he is conversant with
a workable philosophy. The world
over which he soared-how long
has it been soaring thus, and how
long would it soar long after the
strutting panoplles of the present
run OF mankind were forgotten
What is worth while in life except
to strive for the attainment Of a
high and honorable goal. and when
cnce attained, strive for another!
What does it matter, the shoutings
and the tumults? How often have
they beloved upwards. like the
rolling waves under him. only tc
collapse, scatter and die? Alone
above the grim Atlantic-that is a
time to think. and think straight.
Lindbergh is young; but he has a
settled philosophy. He takes the hon.
ors as they come, but is not unnec-
essarily upset about them. He is
willing to let us lesser mortals have
our day Of Joy, our holiday-it will
do US good to shout little and
make a glad noise. But when the
glorious spectacle is over, and pa
thence has received its just reward
Lindbergh will return to the flying
he loves so we'll Perhaps he will
take some other long distance
flights, along other pathways over
the planet yet to be conquered. This
is the life the young Viking has set
for himself, and he cannot be
swerved from 1t.
Thus he will remain dear to our
hearts, youth in whom is visual
lied the highest pinnacles of Amer
lean manhood: scion of our time
who vindicates modern youth; lad
who with one swoop has changed
previous opinion Of the younger
generation.

BAD NERVES IN MOSCOW

Terror mas broken out IN M oS-
COW. In that benighted city anyone
who does not agree with the gov
eminent is likely to be executed as
a foreign spy. There is evidence that
the government is suffering from
nerves. that it is in a panic. with
the inevitable result that the inno-
cent are likely to suffer with the
guilty.
The outlook in Europe, however.
is not as dark as 1t seems. Both
Moscow and Poland are disposed to-
ward peace in the adjudication Of
the dispute following the murder in
Warsaw of the Russian minister,
Noikoff, by a half witted Russian
student. Poland liked the PERSONAL
ity of the Russian minister and no
doubt will be able to prove even to
the satisfaction OF excited Moscow
that the Polish government had no
hand in instigating the murder.
Wholesale executions in Moscow,
however. make a bad impression
abroad. The British press Is aroused
to fury, as If the executions were
taking place on the empires soil in
stead Of in Russia.
1t Is worth while to consider the
charges that were made against
the 20 executed In Moscow last
Thursday. OF the number, 10 were
charged with counter-revolutionar
plots; three We're accused Of being
in the employ of the British secret
service: four were charged with
criminal relations with Sir Robert
Hodgson and the British mission
which was withdrawn when diplo-
matte relations were broken off.
1t is we'll not to take the dis
patches from London regarding the
Russian situation at face value. The
British are aroused about Russia
for a variety of reasons, not neces-
sarily centered around the execu-
tons. Nobody outside of Russia
credits the Russian charge. OF
course, that the British had a hand
in the revival of counter-revolu-
tionary plots in Russia-if any such
were fostered. The likelihood. is
however. that the ARGOS raid IN
London and the severance of diplo-
matte relations gave czarists and
monarchists in general renewed
hope in Russia; they may have

PRESIDENTS PROBLEMS
JP1N THE HILLS

The President today is en- route TO
South Dakota for his annual fishing
trip, which will last throughout the
summer. Wien a president goes
fishing. however, more than fish
are sometimes caught. The next
few months will see him angling
with numerous farm leaders, and
the biggest fish Of the year will be
a compromise farm relief bill.
With that out of the way, the road
will be clear for the political do
ings of 1928, which are bound to
be more than commonly interesting.
Opposition to the McNary- Hau-
gen farm bill has placed the Presi-
dent in the position where he will
have to bring forth Something lust
as good if he is to continue holding
the confidence of these westerners
who want something done for the
farming industry. The equalization
fee system which caused the main
objection 10 the McNary- Haugen
bill, will not be in the compromise
measure to be arranged by the
President and the numerous farm
leaders he will see this summer

arrangcm ent for better mark citing
