SOUNDS LIKE AMERICA

The Philippines, no less than the United States.
has its little furry alleged graft of high Off
cals, none others than Manuel Quezon and General
Agulnado being engaged in little unpleasantness at
the present time
Quezon for years the bell wether of politicians in
the Philippines charged several weeks ago by the
general with having amassed a fortune far beyond
what is reasonable to expect from a moder-
ate salary.
The general, who holds a prominent place in
Philippine history, and whom older Americans will re-
call the sponsor of the Philippine insurrecton
very outspoken in his condemnation of the Quezon
wealth and asked that the political leader explain it.
Quezon this week made his reply, in which he de-
clared his fortune is due solely his good judgment
and foresight in being able take advantage of egti
mate opportunities offered him for investment
He charges the general with lack of good faith in
making his charges, declaring that Aguinaldo in
spired by Jealousy seeks only to discred Quezon for
the purpose of advancing Aguinaldos fortunes and
political prestige.
Reading of it, one might think, with a change of
names, that the charges and counter charges were
made by pair of American politicians in the midst
of political battle.
Quezon has battled valianty in the political field
for his people That he is intelligent, none will deny
That he has had exceptional oppoT untes for invest
ment, is quite likely That he by them legitimate
ly is also quite likely.
The general did his battling on the field of war
More fighter than politician, he has a soldiers
blunness in calling what he believes to be spade by
its correct name. Blunt spoken people can often be
wrong in their opinions.
1t is too bad that two men who really have the well
fare of their people at heart have these two and
whose records such matters of pride their fol-
lowers should find it necessary to disagree but it is
thus among politicians.

ENOUGH ENDURANCE FLIGHTS

If, quite likely the present flight of the
st. Louis Robin is of such duration as to discourage
other flyers from attempting better it. few will be
filled with sadness.
The endurance flight, started last winter by the
armys Question Mark has developed into fad some
thing similar to sitting a flag pole or marathon
dancing.
1t has also become fraught with tragedy as wit
ness the disaster yesterday at Minneapolis when two
endurance flyers crashed paying with their lives for
their effort to stay in the air longer than anyone else
This is not the first tragedy to result from the endur
ance flight craze. "The Answer" crashed several
weeks killing its pilot and injurng his companion.
Mems not at their best after they have
had little sleep in 36 tc 48 hours and we have a.
ways been taught that steady nerves are required
guide airplane.
Inspired by the desire for the fame and fortune
that might from establishing new record and
the publics present interest in aviation stunts of any
kind men who may be good flyers but who are not
physically fitted for such test have taken off
durance flights quite often planes whose adaptable
ity for such work is highly questionable
If the present keeps up 1t may cause the
death of many fine young flyers whom aviation needs
alive than it needs endurance mark.
The Robins flight is highly admirable, but even
this is written the flyers superiors considering
calling them down to earth in the interest of their
safety.
The endurance flight craze has about run its
course AT least believe It has. The wish may be
farther to the thought but the idea has developed into
something of nuisance and when this happens the
end is not far off.

Novel indeed is the action taken by Mexico against
of the chief leaders in the unsuccessful revolution
of last spring
Prior to the revolt FaustO Topete the COVER
of Sonora He participated in the famous meet
ing al Hermoso the capital of his state at which the
revolution was planned In fact Topete was one Of
the chief leaders Of the rebellion.
Usually the government has dealt with rebels by
confiscating their property and permitting them to
place their backs to stone wall and their faces toward
a firing squad.
In the case of Governor Topete, however, the gov
ernment has filed suit for S50,000O0O against aim,
which is reckoned almost equalling the cost Of the
revolution This action is somewhat unique in the his
tory of Mexico.
Governor Topetes whereabouts are unknown, but
it is evident that he is not in Mexico he would
tainly become acquainted with the wall and the firing
squad Why Mexico has not confiscated his estate,
il any. is also difficult to understand
There is plenty of justice in Mexico's suit The
revolution costly and for time threatened the
safety of the government Only the sternest measures
and prompt action succeeded in putting il down
The suit will be prosecuted in the courts of Mex
ico If successful cannot help but wonder if Gov
crnor Topete would not rather have faced a firing
squad after all
