Wilson's Defender.

Not much has been heard from Sem
ator Jim Reed since those early days
Of the campaign just after Houston
when, charged with the high crime of
throwing mud, he left New York and
went back to Missouri. But last night
in Elizabeth, N. j., he came upon the
stage once more and dressed Herbert
Hoover in the skin of the British lion.
Then he seized the apparition by the
tail and swung 1t madly about his head.
1t is always amusing and always in
teresting when Senator Jim seizes any,
thing by the tail and swings 1t, for
he always swings it madly.
His address was filled with what the
newspapers like to call high points. .
To follow him the listener was forced
to jump from pinnacle to pinnacle, as
it were. But one of these high points
was particularly high, and the manner
in which the speaker negotiated it
without nisstep was q feat worthy
of great admiration. He publicly ex-
onerated the late President Wilson from
connivance with Mr.. Hoover in the
great conspiracy to Ak the price of farm
products during the war and otherwise
to persecute the American public, even
to the extent of regulating the amount
of sugar for the morning cup of coffee.
That was a high point indeed, this
gallant defense of the American war
time President by that great wartime
Democrat-Reed of Missouri.

Abandonment of the plan for flying
tour OF the States by the Graf Zeppelin
before the return to Europe will disap-
point many Americans who have hoped
to see this giant airship, the pioneer of
transatlantic passenger transportation.
But conditions of weather made it of
doubtful prudence to take the great
craft on such flight in the course OF
which she might be disabled to a de-
gree to make return flight to Europe
impossible this season.
The Graf Zeppelin was built to DEM
onstrate the possibility of long distance
passenger service. 1t has performed the
first leg of the initial voyage in a gen.
orally satisfactory manner. 1t did not
make the course that was at first ex-
pected, and it was somewhat crippled by
the fury of the winds. Nevertheless it
new from point to point with sufficient
adherence to schedule to prove the pos
sibility of overseas flying in commercial
service. 1t is now scheduled to start
tomorrow on the return trip.
Much is yet to be accomplished be-
fore the nghter-than-ai transport can
be regarded as dependable There must

Another Flying Escapade.

Another example of the devious
channels to alleged fame was furnished
recently by a seventeen-year -old girl
flyer from the New York district, who
piloted her plane beneath four bridges
over the East River. After she had
completed her feat, which she evidently
expected would bring her that degree
of notoriety so sought after by GER
tain type of person, she is understood
to have Saucily stated that "she did
not care much what the Department
of Commerce did about it. 1t was so
much fun"
1t is this kind of smart-aleck
whether masculine or feminine, that
retards the progress of aviation. This
young woman evidently did not take
into account that in lodging couple
of ships" under the bridges to make her
successful fight she endangered not
only her own life, but many others. If
these foolhardy flyers could only realize
that their attempts to elevate them
selves to the rank of heroes are revolving
to the portion of the public that sees
in aviation the future of safe, speedy
transportation, they might take fewer
risks and be content to work quietly to
win the good will of the thinking ma
iority.

ponement of departure. In short. the
service must be regular and reliable.
Until that point is reached the dirigible
will remain, as is the airplane in long
distance service, an experiment and not
a practice factor of transportation.
There no reason to fear for the
Graf Zeppelin on the eastward flight in
completion of the first round trip. The
course from America to Europe is the
easier way. Not only are the elements
more favorable, but in this case the ex-
perience of the western flight will be
advantageous in the return trip. Far
more important in the process of de-
veloping commercial aviation on the
long distance basis than any exploita-
ton through an exhibition flight in this
country, is the completion OF the trip,
and hence the conclusion that the Graf
Zeppelin is to be taken back without a
sail over the States is praiseworthy.

"AnY Old Rags Z"

A mummy, popularly supposed to be
that of an ancient Egyptian princess
who ever heard Of feminine mummy
that was not of that rank?-has for
nearly three decades been the prize ex-
hibit in the Bergen County Historical
Society's museum at Hackensack, N. J.
Visitors we're shown 1t proudly; chill
dren with eyes like saucers have passed
in thousands before its case; 1t was
almost revered. The museums curator
has just discovered that 1t Is nothing
more than dummy, stuffed with rags.
No blame attaches to this institution
for the deception, which had been prac-
ticed in the long-ago upon a Hacken-
sack c,ergymen travelling abroad, who,
with fine civic spirit, purchased the
relic for his home town.
1t is thus with many respected and
even revered objects, theories and ideas.

cident or through prejudicial snoop-

Home-Stretch Betting.

Throughout the campaign up to the
last few days there has been an ex-
ceptional lack of betting. 1t has been
repeatedly noted that fewer and smaller
sums were being wagered on the result
of the presidential and state contests
than for many years. In part this has
been attributed to the fact that the
facilities for placing election bets. in
New York particularly, were lessened by
the rule of the New York Stock Ex-
change against members of that Or
ganization serving as betting commits
sioners.
A change has now taken place and 1t
is reported that bets are being laid In
considerable number and in large
volume. One statement just printed en-
the subject Is to the effect that certain
betting agents in New York now have
nearly a quarter of million dol
lars on hand to be placed on Gov.
Smith at odds of four to one, while the
Hoover hackers are holding out for odds
of three and half to one. This Is the
first show of big money" in the betting
field during the campaign. The other
day q bet of $4,000 to $4,000 on
Hoover on the national result was re-
corded In New York City, that being
the largest single wager up to that time.
Some of the quotations of betting
odds lately posted are interesting. AS
foH example, to that Roosevelt beats
Ottirger for Governor of New York; 8
to S that Hoover carries Illinois; to
that Hoover carries Kentucky: to
that Hoover carries Tennessee; even
money that Smith carries Massachu-
sets; to S that Smith carries North
Carolina; even money that Houghton
defeats Copeland for the New York
Senatorship; even money that Smith
carries New York by 525, 900; 8 to )
that he does not carry 1t by $4,000,
and to that he does not carry 1t by
100000; even money that Hoover comes
down to the Bronx with 525,000 ma
JO4Abys anu a " i bA1eAO A1C OOCO 1lUU
come down with 100000: 4 to / that
Hoover does not carry 40 States; to
Is that Smith will not carry New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Mis-
souri,; 2 to that Hoover carries New
Jersey, and even money that he carries
it by 100000
These proffers show the ingenuity
with which bettors seek to tempt the
placing of reluctant money In cam
paign that is full of uncertainties and
complications. It is said that there is
far less betting on the general result
than on details, on State results and
on pluralities. But after all it makes
but little difference how the betting
runs. The wagers and the odds do not
influence public feeling The bets are
made by two classes of people, those
who think they see chance to make
some easy money and those who want
to back their judgment" or their
partisan confidence, with the riak of
cash. The silent voter, who rea.iy de-
cides the election. is not Influenced by
these transactions.

the truth stands revealed. The
