The World and All
THE RIGHT TO A CAREER
By Charles p. Driscoll

Some weeks ago | wrote in this column a discus
sion about The Right to Fly" The thesis was put
forward that there should be no laws to restrict the
right o fthe adventurous individual to fly across any
ocean or other dangerous space. / ventured the opin-
ion that the individual has a right to fly for what
ever reasons appear to him to be good and sufficient.
/ pointed out that young Mr.. Lindbergh flew across q
very wide ocean, at great risk to his life. Il ventured
to say that Mr.. Lindbergh had q perfect right thus to
risk his own life in order to lay the foundation for a
career for himself.
Several correspondents from various parts Of the
country have commented upon this article. Most Of
tie letters have been in agreement with my thesis. But
the one that interests me most is from a citizen Of
Berkeley, California, who does not sign his name. This
citizen is highly indignant because l said that Mr..
career for himself.
Ny correspondent seems to think there is some sort
Of reflection upon Mr.. Lindbergh implied in such a
statement. This thought, | believe, comes out Of a
slightly confused train Of reasoning.
There is nothing much more important to a bright
young man than the making Of a career. The intelli-
gent young man wants to map out for himself a way
of life and a place in life that will be the very best he
my be capable Of following and filling. Is there any
thing ignoble in such a design? Quite the contrary, ]
should say.
One of the reasons why / admire young Mr.. Lind

the Atlantic to save the country. to promote inter
national relations, TO make future kiddies pnDund of
him, or TO gather scientific data.
L~indbergh was a bright, ambitious, brave, forward
looking young man. He was without money and with
out reputation. He won for himsulf money, reputation,
glory and a career of usefulness, and he won these
rich prizes at the risk Of his life as he had a perfect
right to do.
Every one Of the flyers who has gone out over
the water since Lindbergh has sought reputation, glory,
career. Why not? Have not some Of our noblest
heroes sought these rewards 1T the lannon's mouth,
and been ~glorified for their actionsf
hope we may always produce daring and ambitious
young men who shall be ready TO risk their lives TO
do things that no one else has done, to the end that
their own lives, II preserved, may be more useful to
themselves, 10 their families, and to the world. In
other words, may we always have potential young
Lindberghs in our midst For only thus may we hope
for progress and glory for our race.

Washington Letter
BY CHARLES r. STEWART

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3l.-Nobody
possibly could have imagined, as
lately as q month ago, that Senator
Charles Curtis of kansas would be
mentioned seriously as presidential
possibility.
Almost anybody, in jotting down a
list Of Republican eligiDles, would
have included Curtis name-but
only as a theoretical possibility.
He's his party's leader in the upper
house Of congress-yery prominent.
He's consulted, on everything. He'd
have been included, as an honor
any" possibility, but he certainly
wouldn't have been considered an
active" one-until so much talk OF
a western man" started.
~Today-well, without going so far
as TO say he's a pronounced posi-
bility eve yet. he's jumped a good
many grades upward on the posi-.
bility roll.
The idea is. If this western re-
volt" really Is a. formidable a. some
folks think 1t is, maybe Curtis could
be liked up as a compromise candi-
date, . q regular party split avoid
ed.
He's a dyed-in-the-wool ~"orEanisa-
tion" politician. For regularity" he
can't be beaten. He's of the "old
guard first, last and forever. He's
q conservative. safe and sane"
would be his middle name. IL he had
any. A radical streak in Curtis
makeup is unthinkable.
Yet he's a wcsterner-Kansas is
"out west'-there's no getting away
from it.
Curtis also has done a thing or
two that even the western INCUR
gents had to look on with a certain
amount Of favor.
The "old guard" be it remembered,
never was strong for President
coolidge, but simply made the best
OF him because IL couldn't help il
He stuck in that New England
crowd" which the "old guard al
ways resented-and put the skids
under, too, a. often as possible, as
witness the fact that Coolidge's
buddy, William NJ. Butler. invari-
ably was found holding the sack
whenever the president tried to do
anything for him.
In a quiet way, a number Of these
old wheel horses" have spiked a
good many Coolidge policies in the
last three years, and Curtis has done
his fair share Of il, which, Of course
was highly gratifying TO the "anti-
everything" element
Again, in 1926, Curtis and a few
other old-timers. going out TO their
home states TO be reelected. handled
their campaigns in a way to amount
10 open reputation Of almost every
thing Coolidge-istic.
Curtis, for instance, declared for
the McNary-Haugen brand of farm
relief. in defiance of the president
and the "down-easter" generally.
All this went a long distance to-
ward taking the curse off his ultra
conservatism, as the political insur-
rectos regard him. They still feel
that he's pretty bsckward-and yet
perhaps. an individual who can be
negotiated with.
