''Coxey's Army" Goes
Forward With Times

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Gen. Jacob Sechler Coxey of Massil-
lon is again on the march. Just as his
famous procession. to Washington IS
years ago included almost every type of
vehicle of the period, as well as pic
turesque aggregation on footS so his
Journey to congressional districts
to lecture on the doctrine of interest
free money for public improvements is
In the mode, an auto caravan. If we
should be permitted to make a sugges-
tton, there might be herald in an
airplane.
The general also is up-to-date in
having a master Of ceremonies, his
daughter, Patricia Ruth, an actress,
serving in the role. His wife and. a
number Of friends also travel with him
"a picture Of the party at dinner in a
tent suggests happy outing in COM
pariSon with the pageant of many trib-
ulations back in 1894.
But these plainly are happier days.
Evena though the public may still be
far from agreeing with the general on
his doctrines, 1t looks upon him as an
old friend. His caravan Is now in Penn
sylvania, and although the general is
inveighing in / no uncertain terms
against members Of Congress who voted
to table his measure. the reports indi-
cate that the reception to him Is always
kindly. That, Of course. is as 1t
should be.

Year of Progress Stimulates
y Confidence in Flying Safety

the things which worried Comdr.
Eckener throughout the world fight
may be eliminated. With public in
terest stimulated by the world fight,
great advances in dirigible construction
and operation may be anticipated"
with the new air-mindedness which
is growing up here in America" sug-
gests the Fargo Forum, sit is interest
ing to the public to look at the figures
/, showing the development of the indus
try. It Is rather surprising to most of
us that 101 firms are now engaged in
this country in manufacturing air
planes and that % firms are manufac-
turing airplane motors; it is likewise
surprising to find that there are now
22,082 workers in these plants. To
show something of the distribution of
the industry, a Government report says
that New York has the largest num-
Der of manufacturers, with California
second. Other States which are max
ing considerable progress are Michigan,
Washington, Kansas and Ohio. Stats
tics show, however, that planes are be-
ing manufactured in 20 States. So far
locating has not been much of a fac
tor. For instance, Kansas, during
1928, produced the second largest num-
Der of planes among the States, New
York being in first place. FFichita,
Kans., is one Of the largest producing
cities"
Quoting a common expression that
"the time will come when everybody
will fly" the Sioux City Journal takes
a more moderate view: "Some persons
are so extravagant of words that they
predict aircraft will be as plentiful as
motor cars are now. That won't hap
pen, no matter how much aviation and
aeronautics may be developed in the
future. Man will continue to crawl
along on the ground as he does now.
Not everybody will tfhvel in the air.
Owners of railroad stock need not
worry. There will be trains and ships
and street cars and buses and auto
mobiles"

G.. O. P. REORGANIZATION

Reorganization Of the Republican ma
tional committee, with Claudius H
Huston Of Tennessee at its head, has
taken place apparently in entire har-
mony. If there were sore spots In the
national organization of the G. o. P,
they were kept in the background at
yesterdays meeting Of the committee.
The meeting, indeed, developed into a
love feast for both Mr.. Huston, the in
coming chairman, and DR.. Hubert
Work Of Colorado, whose resignation
was accepted by the committee with
deep regret. Harmony in Republican
gatherings which are open to the pub
lie is a well established custom. The
party has its troubles at times In the
halls of Congress, when members get
off the reservation, for one cause or
another. But when it comes to an
election, or preparations for an cleo
ton. the recalcitrant members are usu-
ally back in the party fold.
1t Is this unity of purpose in cam
paign years that has helped to keep
the Republican party in control SO
long. The new national chairman will
do his best to keep the machine run
ming in perfect harmony, he says. Mr.
Huston is well fitted for the task he
has assumed. He has demonstrated his
ability as an organizer time and again
in business and he is no novice in the
political field. For fifteen years he has
played his part in politics in his
adopted State, Tennessee, and for q
slightly less time In the national field
He is widely known and well liked by
the political leaders Of his party. That
he halls from a Southern State is a
novelty, it, is true. But the Republican
party in the South has for years been
one of the problems which the leaders
have sought in vain to solve. Last
year the Republicans broke through the
wall Of Democracy which has sur
rounded the Southern States and cap
tured four Of them, not to mention all
the border States. Mr.. Huston was an
influential adviser In that campaign in
the South. He will probably be in a
more advantageous position to deal
with the Southern Republican problem
than any other chairman has been in
the past.
DR.. Hubert Work has retired from the
Craftsmanship Of the national commit
tee after conducting one Of the most
successful campaigns ever waged by the
Republican party. Under his leader
ship the campaign for the national ticket
last year resulted in 444 electoral votes
for President Hoover. DR.. Work was
the recipient yesterday of tributes that
have rarely been paid living politician.
President Hoover addressed letter to
the vice chairman of the committee in
which he gave unstinted praise to the
retiring chairman, not only for his work
as head of the Republican organization,
but also for his long service in the Gov
eminent. Dr. Work has stepped out Of
Office at time when the fortunes. of
the Republican party are at the highest
peak. He is to take rest, he says. It
IS well deserved.

that States, cities and organizations
generally sent the funds collected for
relief to the Red Cross for distribution
and administration.

@. Where is the original Toscanelli
map that Columbus used during his

A. The existence of the original Tos-

@. Why is Gershwin's Rhapsody
in Blue" called rhapsody?-I. w.
A. Henry Osgood in so This Is
Jazz" says: "Gershwin purposely
chose the title Rhapsody to leave him
self unhampered by the rules of musical
form, rhapsody being musically
speaking, a free-for-all catch-as-catch-
can affair. 1t is interesting to note
that, Notwithstanding this, he fell into
a regular form, for the composition,
though played without pause, has the
regulation three movements of the con-
certo for solo, instrument and orches-
tra-the moderately paced opening al
legro, a slow section, and a brisk
finale

Speed in Police Court.

Judge Kenyon, strolling around in in
formal inquiry for the National Crimes
Commission, was impressed by feature
of Police Court procedure that long
since has become traditional. The speed
with which the average Police Court
judge can administer justice to a long
line of Monday morning prisoners is
truly astonishing. The repetition of SEN
tences-"Ten days." Thirty days" "Ten
days." Ninety dayS"-becomes monot-
onous song that seems to lull even the
prisoners into state of languid COM
placency as the bailiffs prod them for
ward from the pen to take their places
in the dock. Only now and then q
strange face or an unusual case breaks
the dull routine and the wheels of JUS
tice slow their measured click in defer
ence to something new.
Judge Kenyon notes that while the
usual criticism of court procedure is
that it is too slow, it might be too quick.
Perhaps there are times when the man
who is pushed before Judge in Monday
mornings Police Court is dealt with too
speedily. If the. man, ignorant and gen.
orally down at the heels, is unrepresent-
ed by counsel, his case may not receive
the thorough judicial examination that
it might otherwise warrant as an inter-
esting problem in sociology.
But in Washington, particularly, the
wheels of justice in Police Court must
move rapidly or not at ALL Behind the
bars of the prisoners pen on Mon
day morning the week end assortment
of derelicts and riffraff is crowded to-
gether in a condition that more than
once has been called disgrace. Many

An Aerial Hit-ald-Runner

The suggestion that aviation Is be-
coming a commonplace is accented by
the development Of the hit-and-run
flyer as a factor in the news reports.
New York papers today tell Of a fatal
accident in Jamaica Bay when a sea-
plane virtually cut motor boat In. two,
killed one occupant and injured sec
ond and then disappeared. The crash
was witnessed by two persons, but
neither they nor the surviving occu-
pants of the motor boat could tell much
about the appearance Of the seaplane
or its pilot. This. however, was not the
only case Of fatality on the coast. On
Saturday plane Of the Coastal Air
ways Co., with depleted gasoline. sud-
denly dropped out of the fog upon the
beach at Coney Island. killing two per-
sons and injuring ten. The pilot Of
that plane was held and will probably
face a charge Of homicide. A pilot Of
the same company was held for the
hit-and-run accident on suspicion, a
pontoon Of his plane having been found
to be in a damaged condition. He de-
MED being near the scene of the acct
dent and replied that the injury to his
pontoon was caused by hitting log in
the water.
Means Of identifying planes beyond
question must be adopted. The diff
Guilty with these machines, as with
motor cars, is that they pass, as a rule,
before they can be scrutinized closely
enough for Identification. Distinctive
colors, as well as numbers on the wings,
to differentiate planes of organized
services and companies, will become a
necessity at the present rate of air con-
gestion and mishaps.
