WASHINGTON Al
LETTER SKI
By RODNEY BUTCHER NEA Service writer.

WASHINGTON Handsome Henrik
Shipstead, the senator from Mime
sofa, still seems to be his own man.
If he can keep it up through the
next session of congress, he will at
least be able to enter his campaign
for reelection next year with clear
conscience. He will also flabbergast
many of the local cynics who thought
that they already had witnessed the
first act of a drama of intrigue en-
titled "The Seduction of Shipstead."
Since he began to be regarded,
more or less accurately, as the man
who would control the next senate by
virtue of being lone farmer -laborite
in among an equally divided assort-
ment of republicans and democrats,
great fear has been held for Ship
Stead'S SOUL
Tremendous social and political
pressure had been brought to bear
upon his stalwart frame, it was gen.
orally agreed, with the object Of re-
lieving him of his burden of progress
sivism, Of which Shipstead had plenty.

bright, promising young men weaned
away from progressivisn into lives of
regularity and desuetude and it re-
quired little Imagination to picture
Shipstead turning coat also-that is
if one didn't know Shipstead. The
idea was that Shipstead was to be
seduced by flapjacks, social honors
and promises of an easy reelection.
Well, it may be that Shipstead will
accept some republican help next Mo-
vember and it may be that he will
help the republicans organize the
next senate. That wouldn't be the
same ShipStead, because Minnesota
has only a half dozen democrats and
as republican votes helped elect him
five years ago he would serve neither
his constituency or himself by turn
ing democrat
The point is that the effort to make
a gentle, innocuous conservative out
of this Minnesota progressive has to
date been as successful as an attempt
to tame a Texas steer by pouring

turpentine on it's tail.
Shipstead furnished a most painful
moment for his Would-be seducers
when President Coolidge made his
peculiar choose" announcement Here
was an opportunity for cautious
Shipstead to say something quite per-
functory and harmless. Instead, he
indulged in the most shocking COM
ment about the. ineffectiveness of
cowboy pants against embattled farm
erS.
Some of the more aroused critics of
the Kellogg Nicaraguan policy felt
that Shipstead hadn't exerted himself
to get at the truth during his foreign
relation sub committees hearings last
spring, but Shipstead, in an issue of
the magazine Current Affairs, has
come to bat with such terrific clout
at the ball that the cynics who held
that Shipstead had promised a soft
pedal in return for other promises
are again left holding the bag.
The senator has ploughed back into
the records to give picture of what
he calls Dollar Diplomacy" in Latin
America, supplementing this with
what he learned on the foreign rela-
tions committee and during his re-
cent visit to Haiti

More Truth Than Poetry

know that science always tries
To ease our daily toll,
To teach us how to realize
The riches of the soil, 81
To follow every earthly force
/ To its rock-ribbed retreat
And make of it a potent source
OF power; light and heat.
This master of dynamic arts,
1 learn, is just about
To probe volcanoes to their hearts
And pluck the lava out
To put the flowing, glowing stream
AS one might say, in chains,
And generate sufficient steam
To run our railroad trains.
But if these lava streams get loose
When once they have been found
I sort of think they'll play the deuce
With all the country round.
Despite our need of power and heat
And lack of coal and wood
A lava river in the street
Might not be quite so good.
I've seen Vesuvius paint the sky
With an alarming glare,
And earnestly wished that I
Had gone some other where.
And vast as is this enterprise,
Somehow it seems to me
That scientists would be more wise
To let volcanoes be.

A Missouri man admits he has been

need of the Red Cross extending its
activities to the people of the farms.
He said only 13 or IA per cent of the
100000 farm population were un-

supervision, and that in some instan-
ces, a victim of appendicitis has to
be taken from two to three hundred

FLIGHT TODAY

NORDERNEY, Germany, Oct. 4, CP
The first leg of the latest attempt
by German aviators to make the

Barely 100 miles from the island
field here, where the start was made
at 4;46 o'clock this afternoon the
Junker plane came to earth after
circling the Dutch metropolis.
The trip to Lisbon, and thence to
the Azores for the long ocean jump
will be resumed tomorrow morning.

It is a twelve passenger plane, the
cabin of which has been converted
into a fuel storage compartment. 1t
carries a complete receiving and
sending wireless set and scientific
equipment.
A woman passenger was smuggled
aboard shortly before the D-l230
took off. She is Mrs. Lilli Dillenz, a
Viennese actress, and daughter OF
the painter Carl Hollitzer. No ex-
planation was given of her presence
aboard or whether she will complete
the overseas trip.
Rolf Starke, skilled pilot also is
aboard. Two sacks of mail, originally

Editorial Comment
American Imperialism
michigan State Journal)

That America is imperialistc, whether it would
be net, is contention of the Echo de Paris.
This Paris paper is not SO we'll known some of
the others, but its statement is in quite degree
significant because even the we'll known Paris pa
pcrs take the attitude that we are mperialistic.
Those looking frequently better judges than
the actual participant in what is being done.
Most Americans will stoutly deny that are
imperalistic. We doubtless are not, in the sense Of
wishing to widely extend political sway, but we
are mperialstic in the sense Of wishing to extend
our influence. AS the Echo de Paris says, we have
come to a stage in existence when cannot

tice Gibbs declares. "Its only justification is to
deter others and to reform the criminal himself.
Yet this fundamental statement Of fact is often
twisted about so that the relative Importance Of
the two effects is distorted. Justice Gibbs means
that the moral effect of Furnishing offender
is only at its highest efficiency when the swift
ness and fullness Of the punishment for a crime
deters others from committing like crime.
In this connection it must be realized that the
individual criminal who is punished is relatively
non important. The important point is that by
Furnishing swiftly and decisively murderer, a
hundred other potential murderers may be prevent

vdual and his Importance is totally eclipsed by the

Diplomacy as a Career

Since 1924, when the Rogers act was passed, the
United States foreign diplomatic service has been
undergoing remarkable changes which have resulted
just lately in the appointment of career men to
highest ranks in the diplomatic service. thus mark
ing the death for all time, let us hope Of the
"spoils" system of filling diplomatic posts.
We were late in starting such reform. Other
countries had organized their foreign services to
provide fer of the service years before
and these congratulations had proved their worth.
Still, for the time that has elapsed since 1924, much
that is worth while has been done.
For we do need kind of diplomacy. The
new interrelation of nations is on a more economic
basis and less and less on the cid concept of
diplomacy. 1t is surely essential to create a tech
ncaly competent and trained force to perform such
an important task, force that will have behind
it spirit of loyalty and self interest that will
make for high efficiency and panstaking devotion
to duty.
Party patronage should have little place in the
future in the selection of the personnel of our
diplomatic service. True, in scme of the higher
grades it will no doubt be desirable, occasionally
to go beyond the service to get particularly quail
fled man, yet, for the most part even the highest
grades should be filled from within the ranks as
reward for merit and developed ability along a
very specialized line of endeavor.
The selection of material for the foreign service
is now on highly competitive plane, with foreign
service school turning out vice consuls who know
their business and will be real material for future
ambassadors With such system in operation our
relations with other nations should improve by the
very quality of our representatives abroad
