RAIL EXTENSION HEARD.

A petition that the Piedmont &
Northern Railway be permitted to eX-
tend its electric lines from Charlotte
to Winston Salem and TO close the gap
between Gastonia and Spartanburg
was heard yesterday by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Such construction would give the
road a connection with the Georgia g.
Florida Railway at Greenwood, s. c.,
and with the Norfolk & Western at
winston-Salem, and would afford a
new route between the Virginia coal
fields and Florida.

LINDBERGH POINTS TO WEAKNESS.

Col Charles A. Linabergh, in his review os conditions in aviation circles in the tn.tsd States as 1t was impressed upon him in his recent aerial tour speaks with the authority of aa expert and the prestige Of a flyer who has takea his place al the very top of the ladder oi h3s chosen professions And he has unerringly point ed to the weakness which is most likely 10 give aerial conquest in this country it's hardest sst= back if steps are not taken to discount |.
 In the securing of flying personnel 10 man the aircraft of the nation lies one of the gs stt difficulties to advance by the science Of aerial navigation he declares. If the lanes or taa air are to become channels of every day traH q used in the ordinary processes of national Ire, it will be necessary to proceed on the basis tAas aviation is a science that demands highly traln- ed personnel. well versed in more than knowl- edge of the workings of the controls Ths might be sufficient if flying were nothing but adventure but as one of the main methods Of transportation an adjunct of commerce, a use full vehicle for the public good, much more is required
 It is possible that the several States could agree upon standard requirements for licensing aviators. But if they cannot, or do not, as was experienced in the of radio which became an almost helpless at one stage of its de velonment then it probably will be necessary for some Federal agency to perform that duty And to delay very long in taking this step Wi be fraught with serious consequences 10 th' progress of aviation. The demand for flyers i heavy now and increasing faster than the supply As Col LindDergh points out this demand vii find expression in the establishment of inadequate training schools turning out half-trained flyer' incapable of performing the duty required TOT successful navigation of the air This IS de yelopment to be avoided for the sake of progress of aviation and for the safety of the pubh which is increasingly interested in it.

America and the World Court.

About year ago there seemed fair pros

 ence President Coolidge following President
 Harding, commended the proposal to the Senate,
 and in January 1926 the Senate by majority
 of 76 to IT passed resolution Of adherence,
 subject to certain reservations. In March, 1926.
 the Secretary of State forwarded copy of the
 resolton to the Secretary General of the League
 and to the various Governments which had signed
 the Courts statute, and asked the latter 1T they accepted the five reservations. special confer ence was summoned which the United States Unfortunately declined to attend, and 1t was agreed to accept the first three reservations but to make small counter-reseryations upon the last two The counter reservations proved unaccept- able to the United States, and the matter has for a whole year been allowed to lie dormant. Yet it does not appear from the discussions in the Senate and at the Conference that there IS any substantial ground of difference The whole trouble arises from the fact that the united States is not a member of the League or Ma tions and must therefore make special stipula-
 tions to ensure that she will enjoy position
 of equality with regard to the Court. In an
 article in the October issue Of the Atlantc

HOOVER BOOM SPEEDING.

Herbert Hoovers boom for Republican nom nation for the Presidency, while still in the unacknowledged state far as the candidate himself is concerned has reached that phase which may be described fertilizing the field and engaging skilled superintendent of opera tions'' writes Charles Nicholson in the New York World He points to correspondence be- tween the Kansas City Star and Dr. Harry A. Garfield President of Williams College, Chair man of the Fair Price Committee during the war in which Dr. Garfield absolves MT. Hoover from any part in fixing the $2.20 per bushel price for wheat during the war period; to a member of magazine articles dealing with Hoov- CT history and his achievements; to an article published in California, written by Chester Powell in which it declared that Hoover s candidacy is now at the very center "of the established scheme of things political and to the appointment of Walter F. Brown, promin- ent Toledo Ohio, Republican leader and close personal friend of the late President Harding.
 The charge has often been made that MT. Hoover was responsible for the wartime price limit was set on wheat. In the wheat belt it has been consistently pressed. In his statement on this subject Dr. Garfield said that MT Hoover ''had absolutely part in the matter other than to urge on President Wilson that some action must be taken protect the American farmer from the allied agents who were acting together and depressing prices.'
 MT Rowe wrote: "The work of normalcy is done Harding got us back on the track and Coolidge has put the machinery in shape Now we want to go somewhere" And he con cludes that Hoover looms the 1928 man o destiny
 The appointment of MT. Brown and his ac ceptance Mr Nicholson feels is significant. H, was made Assistant Secretary of Commerce. th' same position offered him six years ago by th' then President Harding and which he refused He was also offered assistant secretaryshiI in the State Department and appointment a Ambassador and declined both. The only job h. would take was Chairman of the Governments Reorganization Committee and he drafted pal for the reorganization of the several executiv departments which highly praised but whicl Congress somehow got around to adopt ing He is regarded as real political strate gist one who knows his Ohio and who vii he able to render valuable service to his chiei both in the Department and as politics adviser

He will ae- complish things there And while he is not going on q political mission, it will give New England folks a chance to sec him in action. And that too, wont be lost when the Republican clans foregather to select their standard bearer in 1928 It does begin to look as if MT Hoover without stepping ,out of his rightful role as Secretary of Commerce and taking no direct part in the hunt for delegates, is nevertheless on to racing start for convention honors
