WASHINGTON ~
LETTER M

Lowden delegates will 60 to Deneen
rather than to Dawes.
Now that Deneen appears 70 rule
supreme in Illinois. It might be
poor judgment for a delegate to do
otherwise-and the elected dele
gates have more in common with
Deneen, who braved the pineapples,
than with Dawes, who stayed on the
job in Washington. The comforting
fact for Dawes would be that
Deneen couldn't be nominated and
that he might nevertheless, barring
accidents, get the whole Illinois del
egation in the end.
One Of the strongest tendencies
in the councils of our Army and
Navy is to do things the way the
British do them. But it was only
human for Secretary of War
Dwight F. Davis, during his Eu-
ropean visit last year, to observe
that troops were ever to be seen
parading around Buckingham Pal
ace and other famous places and
to wish that we might have some-
thing of the sort here.
The result was that for awhile
last summer every Friday saw a
small detachment Of troops doing
their stuff on the ellipse between
the White House grounds and the
Washington monument. Large and
enthusiastic crowds were antic-
ipated, but when the paradfng
troops began regularly to outnum-
Der the spectators the drills were
ca d off. Now they have been
started again, at the height of the
tourist season, with more bally-
hoo, more eclat, more spectators
and more troops.
Secretary of State Kellogg was
drafted o. chief reviewing func-
tionary after President Coolidge
and Vice President Dawes had
pleaded other engagements. For
the grand opening, Secretary Davis
called for all the available troops
in Fort Meyer, Fort Humphrey and
Washington barracks, more than
1900 Of them. The army band
oompah-oompahed. If the crowd
keeps up, there will be marching
troops to be seen every Friday ali
summer long.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Washington, April 20.-One class
Of about 100000 American citizens
is not permitted to participate
actively in politics during this big
political year or any other.
Government employees who hold
their jobs through competitive civil
service examinations are permitted
to vote and express their private
opinions but may not engage IN any
political activity in city, county,
state or national elections-or
primaries.
Just recently, employees Of the
San Francisco postoffice felt the
effect OF this regulation. Quite .
number Of them had worked for
James E. Power, . former San
Francisco postmaster who was rum
ming for mayor. It was said that
they had been given to understand
that Power, # defeated, would re-
turn to his old job and that it would
thus be as well for them to help
him. A similar situation, inciden-
tally, developed in Chicago several
years ago when Arthur C. Lueder
resigned ~ postmaster to run for
mayor againse Dever.
TWO assistant superintendents Of
mail in the San Francisco office
have been removed, three clerks
reduced in grade and salary, four
clerks reduced in salary and IA
others warned and admonished."

The Kinship of Daring

The radio is wonderful invention, but after

a sort of natural telepathy, by which men and

sped out over the Atlantic, carrying three

Newspapers' Birthday

Today is the 224th anniversary of the birth
If the first American newspaper. On April 20
l704, the first issue of ''The Boston News Let
ter" came off the press. It must have been a
history making event in the then little town of
Boston, although by twentieth century stan
lards the newspaper was little more than q
rudely printed handful and the press upon
which it was printed would not serve the pur-
soses of an amateur today.
From that diminutive unattractive news
paper developed the voluminous dailies of this
lge. And the vast and tremendously powerful
Institution of American journalism as it exists
today. The relationship between The Boston
News Letter and the great metropolitan dailies
Or even the small town dailies is not apparent
from a comparison Of their physical features,
and there is probably not weekly newspaper
today issued on as small and primitive a scale
as was that first American newspaper.
Into the nearly two and quarter centuries
that have elapsed since The Boston News Let
ter made its debut journalism in the United
States has packed thousand years Of develop
ment. There are newspapers today that con-
tain more reading matter in one average issue
than the pioneer papers printed in year.
No one disputes the assertion that the Uni
ted States owes to its newspapers much of the
success of it's government, much of it's indus
trial development, the success of it's great edu-
cational and welfare movements and institu-
tions and not little Of it's general prosperity
and economic stability.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-04-20

as the news travelled, it did not outdistance
the sudden wave of sympathy and hope that
sped over the two continents.
In New York and Berlin, in Paris and Lon
don, people paused in their round of work and
diversion to identify themselves, in spirit, with
the three men in the monoplane. Other prob
lens were, for the moment laid aside; the
dangers and the strain of the three aviators
went far on invisible wings and entered the
hearts of millions Of distant men and women.
Through the long hours when it seemed that
the plane had been lost at sea we shared the
suspense and sorrow of people across the ocean.
And when the wires flashed the news that
plane and aviators were safe, we were united
by common thrill, made one by a common
prayer Of thankfulness.
There is, after all, deep kinship between
all men. Americans, Germans, Frenchmen
English-we are all related, deep down, and our
hearts speak the same language even though
our tongues do not. The daring Of one Of US is
a source Of pride to all. The misfortune Of one
of us makes a common sorrow for all. That
mysterious telepathy, stranger than any mir
acle of radio, carries our moods to distant lands
and proves our Unborn brotherhood
And that, in the last analysis, is the real
value of these transatlantic flights-the fail
ures as well as the successes. They make man.
ifest this hidden relationships they set this
psychic telepathy in motion-and we realize
our kinship.
Each event Of this kind creates a new bond.
Each one helps to submerge our differences.
Each one gives us added reason for daring to
dream of day when we can openly realize and
acknowledge our unity. And when that day
comes, we will not be far from universal peace.
