Chicago has been long suffering and slow to
move. But when Chicago at last says Il will and
sets her jaws, she means she Will
So States Attorney Grove and Governor Small
and Almost Senator Frank Smith join the nnumer-
able caravan of has-beens While Big Bill Thomp-
still is mayor he too, is crippled badly and is on
his way to the exit.
Most of the people of Chicago are like people any
where else So long as the politicians in power do not
go far enough to make the people mad indifference
prevails. But there always comes the time when
enough is enough. And then the deluge. That time
arrived Tuesday in Chicago.
The vicious alliance of politics with the under
world brought Chicago SO close to anarchy that the
entire country was shocked. Chicago was Stung by
national criticism So the citizenry went to the polls
despite fear of gangSters and machine gun squads
The decent clement is greatly in the majority in
Chicago or in any other city. But apathy is COM
mon failing even among decent citizens.
The real significance therefore, about the Chicago
result is not that the Dcneen crowd won over the
Thonlpson-Sma- Grove crowd. 1t is that the apathy
era has ended.

Leonardo Predicts Human Birds
Written 10 The Times bN WiN DNrant

glory to the nest from which it
sprung"
Time and time again, it seems,
Leonardo constructed flying ma
chimes; time and again he failed in
his efforts to rise; but he carried
the noble dream of human flight
down through the century, one
cropping figure in the great line from
Daedalus to the Wrights What a
race it is that can hold a dream in
its heart for three thousand years
and never yield: And what a brave
prophecy there was in Leonardos
simple words: There shall be
wingsl'
Amidst all this science, this en-
gineering and invention, Leonardo
found time to be the supreme paint
er and sculpture of his generation
He made for the Duke of Milan a
colossal equestrian statue of the
great condottiere francesca Sforza ;
he worked on it for seventeen years,
and when he put up the clay model
in the gardens of the Duke "all
who saw it declared they had never
witnessed anything more majestic
or more beautiful"
Then in 1900 came war and the
invading French; hostile soldiers
made the statue a butt of their
craftsmanship; and within an hour
brutality had laid in ruins the most
impressive statue of the age.

Flood Control
era has ended

Flood control legislation must pass the House.
The Senate has done its part accepting the Jones
bill without dissenting vote.
The House either can substitute that measure or
adopt the revised Jones bill, reported out by the
House Flood Committee.
The Nation isn't concerned which is adopted, as
long as flood control legislation is enacted.
The Senate bill is preferable because it presents
compromise of all the elements entering into flood
control legislation and because it better satisfies the
Mississippi Valley, which is the section afflicted by
the floods
The House should not make pork barrel measure
out of the flood BILL If it does, President Coolidge
will exercise his veto and the political after-effects
will be far from healthy for those congressman who
responsible.
Nor does the House need to tie in other projects
such as the California flood proposal, with the Mssis-
sippi Valley flood bill.
If the California project has sufficient merit to
Justify its adoption it can without being made a
rider to other legislation.
Mississippi floods are national menace and have
been for scores of years The country demands that
this menace be removed.
The House can satisfy this demand only by enact
ing food legislation the question is brought
up the latter part of this week.

A LREADY Leonardo had reached
"A a modern conception Of the
world, seeing everything as the re-
suit of an inviolable law, 20 mar
vellous necessity" he writes. Thou
with supreme reason constrainest
all effects to be the direct results
of their causes, and by supreme and
irrevocable law every natural action
obeys thee by the shortest possible
process"
Like Faust he hungered to know
all these laws, and to reduce them
to one cosmic unity. Like Spinoza
he found in the study Of natures
eternal order the road to wisdom.
modesty and tranquil soul; it is
almost the voice Of SpinoZa that We
hear when Leonardo writes:
"Grande amore figlio di grande
sapienza-Great love is the off,
spring of great wisdom
So we see him working in his
great studio, with the young pupils
who loved him like a father, but
working for the most part engrossed
and alone, forgetful Of rest and food
"Se tn sarai solo tn sarai tutto tou-
If you are alone you will be wholly
yourself"
Apparently cold in the calm Of his
disposition, he was yet filled with
the warmest love of men and all
things. Apparently feminine in the
beauty of his features, and in the
softnesS and whiteness of his hands,
vet he excelled in all feats Of

strength and Workmanship, bend
ing horse shoes as if they were tin,
he was so mild and gentle that he
could not bear to eat flesh, and he
predicted the time when the eating
of meat would seem as disgusting to
us as the eating of men.
Sometimes he would enter store,
buy some of the birds that were
Gagged there, and taking them into
the street would liberate them. Yet
he was no serious long-faced per-
son; his radiant countenance won
the hearts Of all.
HE liked his joke occasionally;
IL once he gathered his friends
into a room. and placed in their
hands some bladders which he had
connected with bellows in another
room; the he blew the bellows till
the bladders expanded so much as
to crowd the astounded guests tight
ly against the walls. He was a
thoroughly human god.
The most remarkable item in his
notes concerns the flight of birds.
"A bird is an instrument working
according to mathematical law.
Dissect the bat, study it carefully,
and on this mctel construct the
machine"

first flight, filling the world with
amazement, and bringing eternal

guSher came in.
1t is not every day in the week
that a 100000 barrel we'll is discov-
cred, and generally not without
blowing the derrick into smith
Greens.
Bewilderment as to where such
a we'll was brought in is more than
matched by bewilderment as to how
it could be kept secret for six years.
Generally speaking, 100000 barrel
gusherS make their presence known
whether the owner approves or not
Quite frequently, they not only blow
down the derrick but kill a man or
two, and occasionally they light
themselves with friction, as did the
great Dos Bocas we'll at Tampico.
There have not been so many Of
them, you see, but what the record
is quite complete
If there is, or ever was one
close by" the Three Rivers ranch,
and if nobody has heard of it but
Mr.. Sinclair for six years, we have
come upon a real novelty in the
Oil business.

Some bright London reporter
thought Of asking Henry Ford
whether the removal of restrictions
on rubber production would affect
his plans for development a big
plantation in Brazil.
Not in the slightest" replied
Mr.. Ford, upon which the London
rubber market suffered another
flop.
This is just another case of the
gander getting sauce which he
cooked for the goose.
If Great Britain had not under
taken to tax American consumers,
arbitrarily and unjustiy, by fixing
the price of rubber, the chances
are that Mr. Ford would not have
undertaken to start a plantation of
his own.
Great Britain has found it neces-
sary to quit, but Mr.. Ford has not.
