1t is particularly true this year when
various candidates for office will need
the friendly support of the White
House occupant even though he is

One.Man Power Shown.
The night sessions of the senate
and house indicate the power given
to one lone legislator to upset the
best laid plans of a majority of his
associates. Under the agreement,
bills are taken up only under unani-
nous consent, which means that one
man can oppose bill and bring
about an indefinite delay in its con-
sideration. These are the occasions
when opportunity is afforded for petty
revenge, and there are few who hest
tate to avail themselves of the loop
holes to square accounts with organ
lied groups ar individual legislators.

four hundred days to penetrate the
north pole. from his base OF supplies.
In 1926, Commander Byrd made the
trip from Spitzbergen over the pole
and return in sixteen hours.
A few years ago Ex-president Roose-
welt took several months to explore
the Brazilian jungles. Last year avn
ators explored several thousand miles
in few weeks. Stanley won the adj
miration of the world by his heroic
journey into the very heart of equa-
torial Africa, to find Livingston in
1871. a journey that consumed many
months, where they suffered from
fever and pestilence, where they en-
countered wild native tribes and wild
animals, and terrible difficulties and
hardships which cost many lives. In
1926 the entire continent from Cape
town to Cairo. was traversed by air
in about ten days.
We are all familiar with the wan
behring's of the Israelites, during their
forty years in the desert between the
slavery of Egypt, and the freedom of
the promised land. At the present
time there is daily air service be-
tween Cairo and Jerusalem of about
one hundred and fifty minutes or about
two and one-half hours.
The round the world flight by a
group of U. S. filters in 1924-with a
total flying time of fifteen and one
half days. The same year another
U. S. flier conquered the distance OF
1910 miles, between New York and
San Francisco. in single day, his
time about twenty-five hours.
Aviation and commerce are linked
by the passage of a bill in 1926
known as the air commerce act, en-
couraging and regulating air craft,
their operation. their pilots and their
traffic rules. The government has al
ready invested over twenty million
dollars for land and improvements,
for sixty-eight stations and on seven
teen scheduled routes for the air mail.
Mail is transported across the con-
tinent in one and one-half days. In
1926 the trans-continental air lines
flew one million eight hundred sixty
thousand miles, and the Western Air
Express flew between Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Salt Lake City,
covering more than sixteen thousand
miles daily. Express and passenger
service is a story of but a few months
and it is yet in the stage where it
still commands front page space in
our daily papers.
The dreariest deserts are covered,
the highest mountains are scaled, the
toughest seas are navigated, the dark
est forests are penetrated and in fact
all of the earth's terrain is robbed of
their secrets by the aviator.
We are firmly convinced that this
is but the beginning of commercial
air lines and that great strides will
be made in aviation in the very near
future-in fact undreamed of success
ses-and therefore it behooves us to
foster this infant, and we should make
an effort to acquire airports-light-
ing of air lanes for night travel. We
should make use of aviation in the
protection of our forests and our farm
lands and we also should ever re-
