With impressive sincerity, the Ameri-
can press looks upon the announced
engagement Of Col Charles A. Lind
bergh and Miss Anne Morrow as Great
ing an alliance that represents the roy.
atty of a democracy" The national
hero and the typical American girl who
is his prospective bride are hailed as
constituting an ideal match. Both
have married WE'LL" as the common YER
dict is expressed by the Columbus Ohio
State Journal. An incident which under
other circumstances would be viewed as
distinctly personal becomes public
event rather than subject for the So
cial column.
"The public cannot be blamed If it
manifests more than passing interest IN
what happens to It's popular hero" says
the Cleveland News. 1.-THE engagement
of Col Lindbergh to Miss Anne Nor
row, daughter of the capable United
States Ambassador to Mexico, Is pleas
ant news to the American public. II
it is possible for the head to assist the
heart, then it can be said that the
colonel has displayed his usual good
Judgment. Each of the principals IS
unpretentious and unspoiled. Neither
routine of society life. They are Sc
rious-minded. thoughtful pair and splen-
did young citizens"
"Col. Lindbergh is model for Amer
lean manhood, sturdy, fearless, keen
and honest. And his fiancee-qut0t,
sweet, attractive, StudiouS, domestic-a
model for American womanhood," af-
firms the San Francisco Bulletin. The
Youngstown indicator adds its esti-
mate: mo young man in our history
has done more to deserve good fortune,
and none has conducted himself in a
way to command more admiration.
Every one will be pleased now that he
has shown such good judgment and
been so fortunate in choosing his wife,
for Miss Morrow seems to be just as
fine in her way as he is in his"
1.-THE young woman of his choice
says the Waterbury Republican, zap
pears to be ideally fitted to be the life
companion of the most popular young
man in the country. Miss Morrow is,
| from all accounts, person as remark
| able in her way as the colonel is in
| his. She achieved considerable scho-
| lastic distinction during her college
course and has given evidence of being
of a serious cast of mind" The Salt
Lake Deseret News declares: Miss
Morrow is getting prince of fellow,
a type of young manhood of which his
countrymen are proud And judging by
what has been said of his charming
betrothed, the princely colonel is
equally fortunate"
THAT he and a girl such as AM
bassador Morrow's daughter is de-
scribed as being would find much In
common" according to the Roanoke
Times, "can readily be understood.
Lindbergh is just as much the Nations
hero today as he was "a hours after he
| thrilled the world with his epochal
! flight from New York to Paris. The
| American people will take an avid de-
| light in his romance, therefore, and it
| is to be feared that he is in for many
vexing evidences of their interest and
| affection between now and the as yet
unannounced date of his marriage
I'm Lindys case" thinks the Column
bus Ohio State Journal, 1.-The world that
| loves lover is a very large world. 1t
| wishes them long and happy life to-
gether and a good many of us old
fashioned, timorous people hope Indy
won't fly quite so often and SO far after
he's married and settled down. He can
take care of himself II anybody can. as
he has amply proved, but man Is not
absolute master of the air yet and I'M
fortunate things do seem to happen
We trust at least that Mrs. Lindbergh
will see to it that he never goes out
without his parachute"

The Omaha World-Herald feels that
sit is probably a fair bunch that he
conquered Miss Morrow in much the
same direct fashion he found success
full in conuuering time and space In the
transatlantic hop. We suspect that be
