COURAGE AND TRIUMPH

In Washington they referred to
him as the son OF former Congress
man Lindbcrgh;" in Detroit sundry
citizens have been referring to him
as "the son of one OF our high
school teachers" in Little Falls,
Mimi. they have been calling him
the little kid who grew up here"
in st. Louis he Is known as the fly
ing ace Of the air-mail service; un-
Ill Saturday numerous newspaper
headlines termed him the flying
fool"
But whatever cognomens or nick
names they identify with the name
Of Charles A. Lindbergh, he stands
at the top of the world He is the
hero of the greatest sporting event
in history-yet one in which science
has been furthcred and the COM
plete conquest Of the air greatly
accelerated. The world may see the
day when airplane trips across the
Atlantic will be comparatively COM
mon: but it will never erase from
its memory the thrill of the first
nonstop flight from New York to
Paris
The imagination OF the world was
taken with the circumstances under
which the flight was made. And
well it might be. From the time
when Lindbergh completed his
plane in San Diego he had an OBJ
jectire in view and never lost sight
OF it. Jumping into the plane whose
building he had supervised-scarce
ly giving the paint time to get dry
he made leisurely trip at 100 miles
an hour to St. Louis. Perhaps he
would not have stopped there at
all had it not been for the feet that
his youthful hackers lived there, and
his plane was called The Spirit OF
st. Louis" 1t is necessary to make
friendly calls. even when one is in a
hurry.
The remainder of the country
merely regarded him as "one more
contender" for the Atlantic trip,

"I\NOY TO PARIS"

Some smart alecks about a week
ago claimed that an American air
man in Paris would not be very
welcome just now. From the start
we never placed an atom OF conf
dence in such wild talk French
craftsmanship would we felt certain
welcome anybody who did "A great
and heroic deed.
How France has taken Lndbergh
TO its heart is now known through
out the world He is as great a hero
in the eyes Of the French as he is
TO the Americans. The welcome ac-
corded HIM could have been no
greater had he been a native son.
This is the soul OF Francc-honor
TO whom is due, glory for those who
have earned it.

LOREE'S MERGER PLANS

l.. F. Loree. president OF the
Delaware g. Hudson railroad, and
formerly prominently identified
with other railroads, is not faring
very we'll in his schemes for new
trunk lines. Being the only individ-
ual before the public with two trunk
line mergers instead of one. 1t would
be natural to assume that If one
failed the other might be found ac-
ceptable; but so far both plans have
met with OPPOSITION by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, al
though his plan for merger of
roads in the southwest is called
logical.
The opposition to the mergers so
far has centered around justice for
minority stockholders in the lines
affected. Unless the railroad barons
afflicted with the merger baccilli are
able to surmount the difficulties of
treating minority holders as human
beings. the likelihood is that the T..
c. c. will remain cold to their
plans.
The Loree scheme No. is for u
new trunk line between New York
and the west. This would require
expensive building of new trackage
and aside from arousing the ami
mostly of the presidents Of the other
trunk lines, has not gotten very far.
Some cynics say the intent OF the
scheme is more for trading purposes
than for practical purposes. The I.
c. c., however. seems by no means
inclined to enter into such affairs,
and cold water was thrown upon the
scheme from the start. 1t has been
manifest from the first that a new
high cost trunk line could not very
! we'll compete with the existing lines,
even though the mileage might be
somewhat shorter.
The Loree scheme in the south
west, centering around the Kansas
City Southern railroad. Is all right
from every angle except the one
that halted the Nickel Plate scheme,
Minority stockholders have rights
which the I. c. c. is bound to recog-
nize. if the railroad magnates do
| not. II such rights were not recog-
nized the courts would be compelled
to finish the job where the l. C. C.,
left off. and there is little doubt
that they would permit financial
wrongdoing. The I. c. c.. therefore,
places equity foremost in the merger
plans, and none can take place with
out due consideration being given
to rights Of all parties. This may
halt or delay the mergers, but in
the long run will be to the advan-
| tage of all.

no SPECIAL SESSION

Although the Mississippi flood
menace has been placed In the
background OF public attention As 4
result Of the great feat Of Lind
bergh. the air viking. in crossing the
Atlantic, the disaster continues to
gather in force and at this mo-
ment 10000 additional people are
faced with the prospect OF fleeing
their homes to avoid the depreda-
lions Of the oncoming waters.
No special session OF Congress will
be called. however. to grapple with
the situation. A special session, We
are told. could not do much Of
value at the present time-although
one would naturally think the pass
ing OF an appropriation to take care
of the hundreds OF thousands OF re-
fugees would be all sufficient to
justify the session. AS long as there
is a fear that Congress in session
would do more than this. that the
opportunity would be given to take
up questions which an all-seeing ad-
ministraticn doesn't want meddled
with at this time. there will be no
session until the regular call in No
vember.
Uncle Sam Hoover" as he is
being called, remains on the job. He
might be fit substitute for an ap-
preparation, providing the Red Cross
funds hold out and the securing of
additional money does not fail. We
remain of the opinion, however.
that the ill-fortunes of more than
100000 American citizens Is and
properly should be of direct inter-
est to their government.

THE LOS ANGELES

The trip OF the Los Angeles to
these parts Saturday appeared to be
merely one Of those short practice
flights which are necessary occa-
sionally to keep the crew accustom-
ed to the ropes. The report from
Lakehurst, n. j., was that the diri-
gible went to Hartford and return
to take part in an air meet" To us
who had an opportunity to observe
the great airship over the city it
looked much more impressive than
mere practice trip; it looked like
the real thing in air cruising, and
those with good eyesight had an op-
portunity of seeing how that speck
of an airplane looked which served
as sort of guide 10 Brainard field.
Under cloudless sky the Los
Angeles furnished a delightful and
impressive sight to New Britainites,
one which will not soon be forgot
ten.
Since the fate which befell the
Shenandoah this has been a time
when the heavier than air planes
have had the ascendancy. Yet there
is no doubt that dirigibles, when en-
pertly operated, are safe, swift and
sure. The Los Angeles has ridden
through innumerable storms while
tied to its mooring mast at Lake
hurst. Commander Rosendahl gives
every indication of being our most
talented dirigible operator. 1t takes
experience TO get the hang of oper-
ating such an air vessel. and there is
never any guarantee that disaster
might not come. But the same holds
true Of airplanes.
