NO safer steersman ever sat at a

rage they'll tell you that the chauffeur
who has a tougher task than Robin
son is the driver who has to run the
car which always follows the one con.
tanning the President. It's the auto
mobile in which four or five Of the
White House secret service men
travel. The chauffeur of this vehicle
has to be past master in twisting in

Some of the dispatches from Rapid
City have mentioned that the absence
among President Coolidge's reception
committee, of Senator William H.
McMaster of South Dakota aroused
comment" AS a matter of fact, Mr..
Coolidge has understood for a long
time that the junior Senator from
the Sunshine State could not arrive
there In time to assist in greeting
the denizens of the Summer White
House. Mrs. McMaster Is particu.
larly sorry to have beeu among the
missing, for a friendship has sprung
up between her and the First Lady
OF the Land. The truth is that the
McMasters decided to remain in

The Ideal.

Four weeks ago today Charles Lind
bergh hoped off from New York to
Paris. This morning he hoped of
from New York for st. Louis, where
he will arrive In the course Of the day
These four weeks have been a period
of wonderment and great rejoicing, OF
tremendous enthusiasm. Paris, Brus
sells. London. Washington. New York
have turned out hundreds Of thou
sands, an aggregate Of millions of PEG
pie, to welcome and applaud the young
Viking Of the air. He has been feted
by the greatest personages in four
countries. has been showered with
gifts, has been offered fortunes for the
simplest services.
In the natural course of things
after an extraordinary exploit, public
interest would wane. But Lindbergh is
as much an object of attention and
admiration today as he was when he
left these shores alone on his wonder
flight. That is because Of his char.
acter, his remarkable poise, his sin.
cere devotion TO his unselfish desire to
promote aviation and to make it the
utility Of mankind.
Lindbergh lasts as a hero because
he is more than merely an heroic fig.
ure. He continues to hold the public
thought and affection because ha iS In

simple, serious, earnest pioneer who
Is turning a vision into a reality and
Is withal just such a one as every
youth would like to be and as every
man would like to have been.

Modern Wizardry.

wizardry is not fiction. 1t Is a
fact. 1t is a powerful twentieth CEN
tury fact. In olden days magicians
were believed to be able to summon
supernatural forces to their bidding
Fairy godmothers could weave spells
and materialize wonder workers out OF
the air, Aladdin rubbed the magic lamp
and a genie stood before him ready
to do his bidding. Merlin brought
Excalibar out Of the lake with a mo-
ton of the arm. But these are all now
viewed as myths. Yesterday modern
magician waved his hand over glass
globe in his office in New York City
and giant steel mill sprang into ac'
ton four hundred miles away IN
obedience to his gesture.
Many such marvels have been per-
formed in recent years, and perhaps
this latest manifestation Of mans de-
velopment will not startle the world
1t is. after all. only a dramatic demon
stration of the control Of the great
forces that have already been har
messed and put to work. Men are fly
ing in defiance Of the laws of gravita
ton, flying across the sea over thou
sands Of miles. People are listening
hourly to words spoken great dis
tances, are hearing music played
across continents, are holding con
versations a quarter of the way around
the world. Wizardry il the order Of
the day.

of the refinements OF modern electrical
developments. 1t involves a complex
combination Of apparatus, q descrip
ton of which would confuse the lay

Baltimore's Challenge.

Washington is getting "out of its
role" says Baltimore, when the Ma
tional Capital seeks to secure designa
ton as an air-mail relay point and
hustles to provide an airport for the
accommodation of the postal planes
making the New York-Atlanta flight.
Baltimore has an airport now and
wants to have 1t used for this purpose
Washington has none, and should not
try to get one for that use. The Sun
Of Baltimore puts the case this way:
The Capital costs the taxpayers of
the country coolies Of money for
statues, parks, bridges, monuments,
esplanades and general Identification.
It's role should be to look pretty, but
business is business, and we will be
hornswoggled If 1t should be encour.
aged to get in the path of progress
and enterprise just to crafty it's pride.
Well, business is business, as the
Sun says, and it is just now Washing.
tons business to see that it is not left
nat when it comes to providing place
for airplanes outside of the fields al
ready owned and used by the Govern
fnent. It needs air service, for mail
and other uses, just as much as Balti-
more or any other city, and it is going
to have It. Inasmuch as it must get
Its final authorization from Congress,
1t may have to wait few months for
the provisions for an establishment of
this kind, but an airport 1t needs, and
an airport it will have, perhaps a pro-
visional one now, to be followed by a
permanent equipment.
Baltimore'S spokesman" in it's com.
ment touches upon the question OF the
relative volume of commercial mail
handled In the two cites, to the point
Of urging that Baltimore is entitled to
more consideration as an air mail
stopping point than Washington, and
1t suggests that the airport commits
sion Of that city should investigate
and get some statistics on this sub
ject as a means of heading off Wash
ington. So be 1t. Let the statisticians
get busy. While they are at it they
might include in their researches the
subject adverted to by the Sun in the
paragraph quoted above, the amount
Of money which the taxpayers of the
country spend on Washington for
statues, parks, bridges, monuments,
esplanades and general Identification"
They will find that a very large share
Of the coolies comes out of the
pockets OF the District taxpayers. Con.
gress has Of late years been quite
liberal with District tax money in
making up Washington for its role of
hooking pretty"
Be that as 1t may, however, the air
port fight is on, and If there is any.
thing in determination Washington
will have one. 1t may not get one in
time to become the relay point Of the
New York-Atlanta air mail service,
though It hopes still to be so desig-
mated. But an airport 1t needs, and an
airport It must have. This present
criticism from Baltimore is a challenge
to Washington which must be accept.

Lindbergh is apparently willing to

eight hours of sleep and eight hours

to regard flying as both work and
recreation and to have no inclination
for sleep.

But we seek to leave no more
Fleeing traces on the shore.

With serene and lofty mind,
We have turned from tide and strand
Footprints small respect command.
