PERRY TOWARDS
PREDICANiENT.

We read with much interest the
account of the Indictment OF Hon.
Perry W. Howard, the Republican
leader of Miss ssippi by a grand jury
in that State upon charge OF con-
spiracy. We do not presume that
there is a criminal lawyer OF stand

one of the most difficult allegations

dom appealed to save for the purpose
OF affecting some other issues IN
pending criminal case.
II is not alleged that Howard TOOK
the money but by the use OF this
dragnet, So to speak, the effort Is
made to supplant him in the political
campaign now pending and to place
in charge tie "Lily-white element
which was defeated lat the Repubh'
can National Convention at Kansas

at competent Negro leadership, but
ar the "old,line" white Republicans
who have always affiliated with
colored men of the Perry W. How

Similar tactics were resorted to IN
tho fight on Walter L. Cohen or
Louisiana. The indictments were DIS
missed. The gratifying part Of the
whole business is that Perry w.

That there has been keen interest de-
veloped in the need and possibilities OF
establishing air communication with
Caribbean countries seems certain. AL

cation are reported in the formative
stage
The big question ruzzline the diplo-
mats is whether the tour and the
splendid reception accorded Lindberel,
in every country he visited will have
the effect of smoothing over the diplo-
matte differences apparent IN some
Latin American countries. Will his
achievements and popularity hull to

cause them to change their views to-

Cuban Welcome Understood.
That Lindbergh's welcome In Cuba
should have been warm and spontane-

and the United States have much IN

WILBUR PRAISES
L|NCOLN'S SPIRIT
Saved Brother|y Feelings of
North and South,
He Says.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, February 10
Preservation OF the Union by military
intimidation might have been equally
we'll engineered by Alexander the Great,
Caesar or Napoleon, but 1t remained
for Abraham Lincoln to maintain the
Nation intact and yet perpetuate spirit
ual union, Curtis D. Wilbur. Secretary
OF the Navy, told a memorial mass
meeting last night.
"He reserved. fortified and maintained
the spiritual union OF the people OF TINS
Nation" Secretary Wilbur said. He
never thought of the seeding States as
out of the Union. He thought OF the
soldiers in the army of the South as
citizens of the Union, to be restored and
recovered to brotherhood and citizen
ship. He did not hate them; he did not
desire them ill-fortune.
when those who had fought in the
armies of both North and South saw
each other ralying to the call OF war
with the Cuban outbreak in 1898. they
realized that their struggle had not been
In vain: that real Union had been
effected And, when still later, in 1917,
men from North and South answered
the call OF duty, 1t was realized that
American citizenship definitely estab-
lished for the first time in the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution as a re-
suit of the Civil War. had found its full
frultion
Lincoln gives TO this generation Of
Americans a philosophy of life he said.
still living in their hearts, something
which is still active in legislative halls.
in judicial chambers and executive Of
fees; something that steels the arm Of
the soldier and the sailor for conflict;
something which helped win the World
War, and which will help us in all fu-
ture wars. In this aspect, Lincoln is no
mere historical figure. He IS vital
force. operating in the hearts OF all who
believe in his acts of life"

EFFECT OF LINDBERGH'S TOUR
ON DIPLOMACY IS QUESTIONED
Whether Goodwill Flyer Has Smoothed
Over Differences With Latin American
Countries Puzzles Havana Delegates

emphasized by the Diario de la Marina,
the leading Havana daily. in an edi-
torial on Lindbergh:
"Lindbergh. prototype Of his race, Is
an ambassador of a great people. A
bg-hearted people. Its heartbeats do
not reach lis because the echo Is
drowned by the tinkle of dollars. North
America is Lindbergh. 1t is audacity
turned into iron. iron into wings, wings
stretched out over the world. Lind
bergh is North Americas real hero
because he incarnates the ideals OF his
people. A man who puts his life at
stake for principle placed IN doubt
BY science and proves 1t will always
be a hero in the United states. Ihat
is why the Yankees have the record
craze
COMPARED to Columbus.
CHRISTOPHER Columbus for the YAM
KEGS was a fine record breaker. Lind
bersh is another. He discovered that
the return trip of the immortal ad-
miral could be made In 80 hours. Both
are great heroes In world history and
both represent precious symbols OF two
epochs and two races Columbus was
the adventuring spirit OF a people
clamoring for more space. Lindoergh
is the reStlcSSneSS OF powerful race
possessed with the fever for speed ana
the desire to destroy distances. When
Columbus set sail he did not stop TO
think of the time he would be on the
ocean. When Lindbcrsh started for
Paris he did not think of Paris. but OF
seconds. minutes and hours.
DO not these two men characterize
different though complementary fea--
lures of two different conceptions OF
life? For the Saxon. time is an all-im :
portant factor. For the Latin, space
comes first. and to arrive quickly or not
does not matter"
