strictions that would prevent Its use as

A tribute TO Mr.. Rosenwald, declaring
that he rs as modest as he Is gener-
Gus" and that "he seeks no posthumous
fame" with the result that he has
established novel precedent that phi
lanthropy Is the duty OF each genera
tion," Is paid by the Louisville Courier
Journal Referring TO the beneiactionS
OF John d. Rockefeller, however. the
Louisville paper continues: In his
lifetime he has seen his gifts to science
welded into n powerful instrument IN
the war against disease. Is such an
organization as the institute that bears
his name to fall into decay quarter
OF a century after his death? Is there
10 be no hope of perpetuating a going
concern such as this? May not future
generations be called upon To keep II
allve?"
Such an institution" adds the Reno
Evening Gazette, will go on for genera
tions, and II should do SO. never losing
any of It's effective force. Great educa-
tional endowments. such as those OF
Stephen Girard in Pennsylvania. the
late Senator and Mrs. Leland Stanford
In California and the like, ought to be
p. manent. as they are. for their hene-
fits are certainly not limited to 25 years
after the deaths of the founders"
The New York Sun holds that Mr.
Rosenwald by his stipulation has cut
out hard job for conscientious admin
istrators." and advises that trustees
must consider the ultimate consequences
of aid as well as It's immediate effect
The welfare OF mankind may be Inn
paired, not advanced by indiscrlminate

strengthening OF M. Poincare's position
In the French general elections. there
we're predictions that the Reichstag
poll would reveal an unn istakable
swing to the Right---toward the mill
tarist- -monarchist-J t-Junker element that
traditionally stands for strong pol
Icy v!s-s-vis France. This weeks events
have confounded these prophecies. Ger
many has gone Social Democratic on
an impressive scale. The Social
democracy is essentially peaceful in its
international tendencies and programs
Immediately after the foundation OF
the republic, the stability of succeeding
German cabinets rested primarily on
coalition of Socialists, Democrats and
CentristS. They were the combinations
that consistently enforced the policies
Of pacifcation and reconstruction typi-
fed by the Dawes reparations plan. the
Locarno agreements, and Germanys
adhesion to the League of Nations.
Apart from that aspect OF the rise
Of German Social Democratic strength
in the Reichstag. and the prospect that
it will now be accorded recognition in
the Berlin cabinet, the world at large
will derive satisfaction from the fact
that Socialist gains in German elec-
tons automatically connote Communist
losses.
The President of the Republic under
the Reich constitution is aloof from
the fluctuations of party politics and
unconcerned with the Reichstag's fac
tional complexion. But on occasions
like the present, when German par
liamentary affairs are in state OF fiux,
the world contemplates with satisfac-
ton that Field Marshal Paul Won
Hindenburg. who has just completed
three years of his seven-year term, re-
mains a steadying influence at Berlin

promotion of the industry as whole
instead OF a connection with an indi-
vidual company, his acceptance OF the
position with the new organization Is
entirely compatible with the dignity
with which he has borne himself since
he made air history He was the pioneer
on the trip to Paris. and If the ambi-
tious plans of the Transcontinental
Transport reach fruition he will be,
with his company, pioneer in safe
and sane air-rail transit across the
United States.
Unusual interest has been aroused In
the project since announcement Of
tentative plans was made, but the ac-
QUESTION of Col. Lindbergh as an execu-
tive undoubtedly will solidify public
confidence in the orty-eight-hour serv-
ice. The name of Lindbergh has come
to mean precision and safety In flying.
and the prospect OF travelling in safe
trains and safe airplanes under Lind
bergh's supervision will probably attract
huge patronage for the company
when 1t begins operations. OF course,
1t will be big thrill for any one to
leave New York at six o'clock In the
evening on a fast train to embark on a
waiting plane the next morning near
Columbus, Ohio. fly to Wichita, Kans.,
that day, take another train for the
night hours and then jump by air to
the Pacific Coast, but the knowledge
that Lindbergh, the Pennsylvania and
other railroads along with far-fiung
organization are behind the service will
temper that thrill with confidence for
a safe-and-sane journey. Line UP for
tickets, please

Baylor Of Waco, Texas. a South

plaudits Of four other Southwest
conference teams who fell before the
Gentlemen, a name which bellies their
~slashing, whirlwind offensive. Just
