FEDERAL AID FOR
FLOOD SUFFERERS

Dispatches from Rapid City indi-
cate there has been a change in at
titude by President Coolidge regard
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of extending
federal aid to rehabilitating the food
sufferers of the Mississippi valley.
To Secretary Hoover goes the credit
of convincing the President that
more than an adamant attitude is
desirable.
In addition to that important in
formation is the reiterated state
ment by Senator Smoot that a spe-
cial session of Congress will be call
ed to deal with the disaster. When.
after visit to the President, Sena
tor Smoot made a somewhat similar
statement few months ago a rath-
or pointed statement was forthcom-
ing from the White House snokes-
man that if there is to be a special
session the President will announce
il himself, and not rely upon a sena-
tor to make public the information.
Now the senator repeats his state
ment; and this time it is not denied.
There may not be as many ways
to harness the Mississippi as there
are army engineers; but OF methods
there are several regarding which
agreement must be had before mil
lions of dollars are expended. The

SECRET HEARINGS

The hearings in the -Vanzetti
case having reached their end, there
is considera BILE complaint OF their
secrecy. The commission and the
governor could have opened them to
reportorial scrutiny and thus created
what practically would have been a
new public trial. But they elected
to do their stuff in private, and the
assumption, at least, has been that
they made thorough job.
II the decision is against the de-
PENDANTS, however, criticism will be
intensified as a result of the secret
hearings. Nobody will know just how
far the hearings went, what was
uncovered, what new evidence was
weighed-eXcept so far as the official
report will disclose.
1t would have been better. in
meeting the public scrutiny of this
business, for the hearings to have
been public. Massachusetts, seems
to labor under the delusion it has
a world monopoly in dignity. 1t has
more dignity than is good for it.

MONROE EXTENSION
HAPPILY ASSURED

The city has need to congratulate
itself over the announcement that
the proposed extension of Monroe
street. from Greenwood to Ellis
street, will be carried out.
The announcement some time ago
that recalcitrant property owners
made it inadvisable to proceed with
the plan to provide this thorough
fare of splendid potentiaities was
taken to mean that the city baked
at the expense of purchasing the
necessary property standing in the
way.
Now we are told that there never
really was any idea of abandoning
the project Oh account of expense,
but little delay might convince
the property owners that they could
not get all they demanded.
The city had the whip hand
either way, The properties needed
could have been secured through
condemnation proceedings. But this

WARSHIPS AND AIR
CRAFTS ARE AKIN
Naval Experts See Them as
Inter-Dependent

Washington. July % P - While
the eyes of the world have been
fixed on Americas trans oceanic
1iers, naval construction experts
have been quietly studying the
situation with a view of determin-
ing the effect of the spectacular
advance of aviation on the future
battleship.
Strangely enough, the one change
upon which there appears a degree
Of unanimity of opinion in naval
circles will result from considering
aircraft as an adjunct rather than
as an enemy of the battleship. By
this it is meant that the new IA
cility will be used for spotting and
correcting the fire of the big guns.
Naval men say this use of the
plane in battle time will make for
the greatest possible elevation and
range of guns as accurate fire can
be had at much greater distance
than probably even was dreamed of
before the plane came into Use for
the fire control.
Discussion on which a large num-
Der of American naval men seem TO
agree is against the combination

40 YEARS AN EDITOR

The dean of financial newspaper
writer's today is celebrating the 40th
anniversary of his activity. And he
is New Englander-Claren w
Barron of Boston.
Editor Barron is 70 years of age,
and still a prodigious worker, travel
err and writer. He is a heavyweight
in build, skill and accomplishments
His influence in the world of finance
has been greater than almost that of
any other man, the so-called kings
OF finance not excepted. Through
his ownership of financial journals
extending from Boston to Philadel-
phia he has preached financial gos-
pei TO financiers of high and low
standing; and it is of kind that
compels them to listen.
Barron at ~ gives no evidence of
slipping. A supreme court jurist. and
many another judicial mind, is re-
tired at 10. Barron never thinks of
retiring. The older he gets the more
he does. BY the time he is 100 he
will be the acknowledged supcrman.
He can already lay considerable
claim to the title.

AUTOS AS BATH HOUSES

We thought the question had been
settled last year, but the amalgamat-
ed association of Connecticut bath
house owners have again brought
the matter to the fore. They are
opposed to the use of automobiles as
improvised bath houses.
1t is immoral, they say; permits
those who find themselves in the
vicinity TO be "peeping Toms" 1t is
a most ubiquitous SYSTEM" the bath
house owners say.
The bath house owners, however,
are not much perturbed about the
moralities Of the practice. What they
worry about is that every time some
body changes from street garments
to bathing costume, or vice versa, in
an automobile it means less money
for the bathing house proprietors.

justified In demanding law on the
subject than the hotel proprietors
are justified in demanding laws to
prevent week enders from cooking
their own meals in a camp, or from
sleeping in q field or a haymow if
they desire to do so.

which has been suggested since the
days OF the airplane bombing Of
the old warships off the Virginia
coast during the past five or six
years.
Even II such a type of craft
could be built under the naval limi-
tation treaty, some experts can find
no advantage in such ship over
the separate fighting craft and the
carrier of the present. They say
that the effectiveness of the battle
ship would be materially decreased
if guns were sacrificed for airplane

These same experts declare the
battleship must be able to stand up
hardest knocks. A flying deck is by
its very nature unprotected and
therefore extremely vulnerable to
attack. These two characteristics
cannot therefore be consistently
embodied in a single ship. they be-
lieve. The battleship of the future,
they argue, unquestionably will
have incorporated in its design eff
ficient means for launching a limit
ed number of aircraft of the am
phibian type. but there will be no
provision for them to land back on
board in battle.
There is a school Of thought in
the American navy for the most
powerful battleships. within the ton
mage limitation of the Washington
treaty. equipped with few planes
for fire control and scouting wor.M.,
but depending for its main air pro-
lection upon planes carried by
ships especially designed or con-

There is conflict of thought as to
whether the bombing airplane will
make necessary greater speed for
the future capital ship as means
of defense aside from friendly air.

will force a sacrificing of present

for many years and many millions
of dollars have been spent on hold
ing the Mississippi, the success of
the plan when eleven Niagaras are
descending down the river has been
nil.
The trouble. in fact, started when
man began trying TO improve upon
nature in the Mississippi valley. Says
F. H. Newell, former chief of the
L. S. Reclamation Service, in a re-
cent issue of the Review of Reviews:
Mature provided a nice ad-
justment of ordinary floods and
of channel sizes and has left
low-lying basins in which eX-
traordinary floods have been
accustomed to spread harmless
ly during the thousands of
years of the continuing process
OF building up OF the long basins
and bayous. Man, however, has
coveted the use of these basins,
which nature provided as a re-
lief or safety valve for the ex-
IRENE floods. . Recognizing
this condition many engineers
now contend that instead of try
ing to build these hundreds OF
miles of levees high enough to
be safe from overlapping. there
should be constructed at suit
able intervals long spillways at
flood heights SO that when the
flood begins to threaten the
levees the excess water creeping
up over these spillways may
flow back into the basins pro-
vided by nature. This means &C.
cupation of these basins for
farms and towns should be dis
couraged or reduced to the
minimum and the land devoted
largely to the production of
trees"
We fear this is entirely too scien-
tihc method for the mind Of Con-
gress and local politicians along the
Mississippi.
