And now Clarence Chamberlin, who made a
very notable flight across the Atlantic last
summer, has begun an aerial tour Of America
similar to the one Lindbergh made few
months ago.
His tour has much the same aims as Lind
bergh's-to foster civilian aviation and create
new public confidence in airplanes. This is a
Job worth doing.
Chamberlin doubtless will get warm recep-
ton from all of the cities he visits. He deserves
it, His fame has been slightly dlmmed,
through no fault Of his own, because OF the
fact that his flight across the Atlantic came
right on the heels Of Lindbergh's. But Cham
berlin, as an aviator, apparently is fully Lind
bergh's equal-if anyone on earth can be said
to be that amazing young mans equal and
he has conducted himself since the conclusion
of his great flight with just as much COM
posture and good taste as Lindbergh showed.
A forced landing marred the first leg Of his
aerial tour Let's hope that bad luck leaves
him alone for while now, so that he can have
an entirely successful and enjoyable trip.
He is credit to the country and he deserves
all the good fortune an aviator can have.

SUCCESS AND ELRLY DEATHS

SUCCESS AND EARLY DEATHS
It might be we'll for all Of US to
occasionally make check-up Of our
daily habits Of living. An analysis
Of these habits may startle us!
We can perhaps classify our hab-
its into those which are good. those
not 50 good, and those not good; or,
as some would have it, good, toler..
able, and bad. We will be surprised
to find how many Of our daily prac..
tees actually belong in the dad"
class.
All habits. whether good or bad,
rapidly gain in strength when often
repeated. Habits which are ut first
a. easily broken as a spiders web

with chains Of steel. 1t ma seem
more difficult to cultivate good
habits, but when they are once de-
veloped they are just as hard to
change and really as difficult to
break as bad habits.
Good or bad habits of eating are
usually developed haphazardly, and

Born Wrong
New York Times


Mr.. Henry Morgenthau, in his article in the
Forthcoming Review of Reviews, bluntly states
a homey fact when he writes:
The simple truth is that if Governor
Smith, instead of having been born in
Oliver Street of Catholic parents, had tirst
seen the light of day in some Protestant
parsonage, as Presidents Cleveland and
Wilson did, nobody would doubt for an
instant that he would be the next Presl-
dent.
This is a pungent and conclusive way of stat
ing the one great obstacle-religious intoler-
ance-which today stands in the way Of Gov
ernor Smiths political advancement. Mr.. Nor
genthau undertakes to answer the question
why he, not a Catholic, not a Wet, not men,
Der of Tammany Hall, should be so eager to
see Governor Smith nominated for the Presi-
dency by the Democratic Party. The ordinary
political reasons for such nomination arc
obvious and numerous. Against it there is,
in reality, only one. Governor Smith is a
Catholic. He belongs to what has come to be
thought of in America as prescribed class.
No one of his religious faith can be elected
president. This is not openly proclaimed ex'
; lcept by a few hardened fanatics or brazer
demagogues. But it is quietly asserted in thou
sands of homes and in hundreds OF village:
and cities throughout the country. 1t is thi:

ical issue to the front in the Presidential cleo
= ton, then it ought to be met and fought as tn
greatest menace to democracy built upon tn
!. doctrine of the career, even up to the yer
; highest, open to talent.
! Mr.. Morgenthau takes up some Of the mino
objections urged against the candidacy of Go,
ernor Smith. It is said that he has but sigl

Alarmists, inspired more by bad nerves than
facts, have been predicting collapse of the
whole American credit structure ever since the
installment plan came into general use. 10
them this collapse appears always just around
the corner.
But the treasury department at Washington,
differing with the panicky, reports the busl-
ness and financial state of the nation as being
most stable without symptom Of degenera-
ton. With its hand on the financial. pulse OF
the country this department fails to detect
weak or missing beat
And on top Of this testimony on the coun-
try's financial stability comes from the Ma
tional Association of Credit Men an explana-
ton why this stability has stood unfaltering
these several years while the volume OF credit
business mounted by leaps and bounds. What
is that explanation?
people are paying their bills"
A comprehensive survey covering many
lines Of business and all classes of buyers
proves that the average consumer does MI
share manfully toward supporting the larger
credit structure of the nation. That only sixty
eight cents is defaulted out of every 500 o.
credit business is eloquent testimony to TN
inherent honesty of the great American
family.
A great volume of credit business is no
necessarily promiscuous credit. Retail mer
chants are doing vastly more credit business
but it is being done with people who pay thel
bills promptly. Modern credit is on scien
tific basis reducing losses to fraction of thos

Washington, Feb. 1.-The govern
ment has found itself in :. bad mess
over prohibition enforcement and
doesn't know yet how it's going to
wade out.
It's q g0oey mess, for it involves
such components as graft, corrup-
ton, the hidden hand of rolitics and
the stupidity of some prohibition
agents, which is often synonymous
with incompetence, viciousness and
brutality.
These factors combine to make q
solution vitality important. In the
present row between the Prohibition
Bureau and the Civil Service COM
mission over whether present en-
forcement personnel shall be re-
tanned, it is important to remember
that the service was put on CON-
petitive merit basis only after Con-
gress, the Bureau. the Anti.Saloon
League and nearly everyone else had
agreed that prohibition enforcement
was q national scandal which must
be cleaned up.
So today, the great issue is
whether there is to be more and
better enforcement or worse and
less. The former may take years
to achieve; the latter can be hae
at once and may even be necessary
before enforcement can become
more honestly effective.

Personalities change from generation to
generation. There are styles in types OF man
lust as there are in hats and automobiles. One
type of man is in vogue today and tomorrow
a vastly different type will find popular favor.
Insight into the type of man most popular
in the early nineteenth century is afforded Dy
Ralzac. the French novelist and satirist, in this
extract: . .
'Gentleness in the gait is what simplicity
is in the dress Violent gesture or quick move
ment inspires involuntary disrespect. One
looks for moment at cascade; but one sits
for hours, lost in thought, and gazing upon the
still water of lake. A deliberate gait, gentle
manners. and gracious tone of voice-al OF
which may be acqured-gve mediocre man
an immense advantage over those vastly supe'
rior to him. To be bodily tranquil, to speak
little. and to digest without effort, are absc.
lutey necessary to grandeur Of mind or OF
presence, or to proper development OF genius.
That was the successful type Of man IN the
tay Of Balzac, but the formula doesn't apply
TODAY. When you describe the popular type
Of man today it is the kind that thinks ami

other.

But meanwhile, the Civil Service
Commission has been subjected to
powerful pressure, political and
otherwise, and if it succumbs and
lets down the bars for the existing
personnel as is demanded, there will
be no assurance of an intelligent,
competent service. The politicians
who regard prohibition enforcement
as the most lucrative section in the
national patronage orchard have
shared Doran's dismay, for most OF
the present agents are connected
with some political machine.
In eight years, some 1900 prohi-
bition agent; have been fired and
between 600 and 700 prosecuted in
the courts. Ut the current crop Of
1000, the Civil Service Con- mission
claims to have weeded out the dumb
and the illiterate and now to be en-
gagged in disqualifying the crooked
and otherwise unfit.
Some of the smarter grafters in
the service who may have passed
the first two tests may have trouble
when their records are scrutinized.
A man who has been in the enforce
ment machinery for several years
recently told this writer:
II estimate that all but about 2
per cent Of the agents are chiseline
(grafting). The prohibition agent
who can't make $4,000 year if hi
desires is q dub. Who thinks thai

care to use it. It should be note
that administrators whom he quote
