TT was very appropriate for that squadron of air.
L planes to circle above the grave of Theodore
Roosevelt on the anniversary of his birth, for he was
an ardent champion Of aviation when it was in its
infancy also one Of the first to fly, back in those
pioneering days when took his life in his hands If

1t was appropriate also because the Roosevelt fam

Youngest son. crashing to his death behind the Ger
man lines that being the greatest blow his father
ever received
We talked with one of Quentin Roosevelt's mates
the other day, and he said the boy was as daring
soul ever flew.
The death of this boy greatly intensified Theodore
RooSevelt'S desire to get into the World war, but
Presidenet Wilson could not see him in that light
which was great mistake, for while nobody consid-
cred Roosevelt as general his mere presence on the
other side would have great asset to our armies
Tor morale is OF incalculable value in war.
TINE human element had lot to do with Wilson's
1 refusal to let Teddy go across, for he had bit
terv criticised the administrators reluctance to

airy human beings when it comes to their reactions to
friends and foes.
Certainly Roosevelt would not have sent Wilson
across had conditions been reversed for the former
was as good hater as our politics ever knew
He was loyal to his friends but wasted no affection
on his enemies and if he ever turned the other cheek
that fact has not been recorded.
Roosevelt exacted unfaltering allegiance, as was
shown in his split with the late Senator Foraker OF
Ohio.
Foraker had been one of his first champions and
stood for him in Ohio in 1904 against the presi-
Dental aspirations of Mark Hanna, which surely was
the last word in loyalty.
WHEN one day certain members OF coSored regi-
w ment at Brownsville Tex. participated in a
riot with the townspeople and when none OF them
were willing to give the names of guilty soldiers
Roosevelt dismissed the whole outfit from the service
Foraker broke with him about this and 1t resulted
in long and bitter fight, ending all friendship.
One night at Gridron dinner in Washington
Roosevelt amazed everybody by launching into bitter
attack upon Foraker for the Brownsville matter after
which Foraker made reply which was classic the
substance being that American President is not
Mussolini, and that senator has obligations, ex-
cept to his oath of Office and to those who elected
him.
Lincoln was the only American President, able to
rise almost Submey above the recollection of wrongs
He kept Mcclellan in command after Mcclellan had
insulted him; he appointed Edwin NJ. Stanton to his
cabinet after Stanton had brutality made fun of him;
he retained Secretary Chase in his cabinet after
Chase had plotted against him, and thene made hin
chief justice.

On the witness stand of the senate lobby nvestiga-

amazing deal.
Bingham personally is neither better nor worse
than other members Of the senate, who CO.
operate with the tariff lobby.
The only way he differs from them is that in his
simplicity to call it by harsher name, he has given
the whole tariff show away. That is why the senate
old guard is even more angry with him than his
political opponents.
He could see nothing wrong in putting an active

For the Children

President Hoover goes to the root of most of the
troubles of the world when he sets out to solve the
problems of childhood
Under his direction, 500 skilled men and women
are going to study every phase of the matter from
prenatal to education.
If they can discover way in which every child
shall be born well and strong, shall grow up with
enough to eat and with intelligent care and shall be
trained wisely he grows, there is little need to
worry about the future It's problems will solve them
selves.
1t is a splendid conception, but its realization is far
off, Meanwhile, congress has failed to re-enact the
Sheppard Towner act, which took first, practical
step toward the goal desired providing federal funds
to match state funds for maternity and infancy
hygiene
The President would not want congress to become
so absorbed in contemplating his brilliant vision for
the future that forgets the immediate task within its
power to perform.

Support

NN this basis, General Carty
" urges greater public supper;
for the research program Of Amer
lean universities and other in
stitutions. ,.-
In this connection, he quotes
Pasteur, the great French scientist,
who said, Science is the soul of
prosperity of nations and the
living source of all progress"
For all the benefits which it
confers upon u.s." General Carly
continues, science asks only that
we provide it jealous workers with
the opportunity to multiply their
efforts in our behalf.
"The progress of scientific re-
search in our country depends in
the last analysis upon the support
which is receives from the public.
There is no lack of problems to
be solved, all Of which in one way
or another affect the welfare of the
nation, and there will be no lack OF
competent scientific investigators
who will solve them if the necessary
financial support is provided.
1.-THE publication of popular Re-
search Narratives does more than
provide scientific reading in an en-
PERTAINING and instructive manner.
"They constitute in themselves a
distinct contribution to scientific
research, because they present to
the reader concrete examples Of the
methods, vicissitudes, and triumphs
of scientific research"

One Bad Spot

Most plainly marked is the duty of the
citizens of Indiana as result Oh tne elec-
lions on Tuesday.
That duty lies in cleaning up the political
+ conditions of the Calumet district.
The whole state must be interested IN the
fact that one city elects a mayor who IS
awaiting trial in federal court on charges
of conspiracy to protect bootleggers and an
other. one of the largest, elects as its chief
man who has returned from serving
sentence in a federal prison for the same
offense.
That makes very important the inVestlga-
tions of election frauds in that district WHICH
have apparently Jagged for the past several
months.
- # is true that the federal courts are
catching some liquor violators. 1t IS also
+rue that there was an apparent lndlt1er-
ance for at least three years toward VIOLA
tions of these laws in that district, an IN
difference that takes on sinister lnterpre-
1tation in view of the fact that it is charged
that protection had been promised IN return
for votes, and illegal votes at that.
Even the promised aid of the attorney
generals office seems to have fallen short OF
Its objective The conspiracy to steal cleo
-tions has not been exposed. The arrest OF
a few bootleggers does not clear up the stu
alton.
Just as one rotten apple spoils the whole
barrel. so one rotten district can corrupt an
<entire state.
r- There must be cleaning up in the north.
1t must not stop with Furnishing bootlegging
crimes. 1t must get at the bottom of cOndi-
lions which elect ex-prisoners to high offices,
especially when these prisoners serve time
for violations of law they are pledged to sup
port as officials.
Indiana can not afford to accept COM
-placently such condition.

The Old Order Passes

TINE old order of statecraft is
IL giving way, and, as usual, it is
giving way because of what men are
doing in other lines.
Statecraft always has been a
follow-up; policies always a by
product of other activities.
The colonial system which has
played such a part in shaping the
policy of nations during the last 400
years was the outgrowth of dis
covery.
But for Columbus, there would be
no Monroe doctrine.
If you would chart the course of
statecraft, watch the inventor, the
salesman, the captain of industry.
The latter may be Henry Ford
or Stain, and the government
under which he functions may be
democratic or Communist, but the
net result is expanded commerce
and industry, which, in turn, de-
mands new understanding of re-
lationshipS.
Statecraft can not be isolated
from the sources of revenue and
taxation.
Neither will the people of any
land sacrifice the creature comforts
which civilization makes available
for the sake of abstract theory, or
even tradition.

time now in the Modern Library.
And, in my estimation, Seven
Men" stands shoulder to shoulder
with the earlier work.
Seven Men" Is a collection OF
short stories, and the first of these,
"Enoch Soames," has everything
necessary to the form. Generally,
Max Beerbohm is set down as q
whimsical chap, given to light and
witty conceits.
There is a dextrous play of wit
in "Enoch Soames," but it also man
aged to leave me all broken up, even
though by now am quite aware OF
how it comes out.
I can't assume the right to say
that Beerbohm meant to get his
readers coming and going in this
way. After all, his intention does
not really matter. If an author
aims for a smile and gets a heart
break, I think the bullseye should
be scored for him just the same.

the drugs and preparations forming
the basis of the so-called specific
cures for drug addiction have not
any value in shortening the with
draWal symptoms or making them
less painful.
The quickest and simplest way is
to withdraw the narcotic The with
draWal takes place over a period of
three days, during which there may
be considerable mental and physical
suffering and during which time the
patient must have close medical at
tention.
The most humane form of treat
ing drug addiction is to withdraw
the drug over a period o.. two weeks,
during which progressively decreaS-
ing doses are given,
The disadvantages of this method
are the time involved, the absence
of the favorable psychologist effect
of abrupt withdrawal, and the vigi-

Mental Treatment Aids Drug Addicts

lance required to prevent the addict
from obtaining more of the narcotic.
No form of treatment seems to be
worth while in stopping the crav-
ing for drugs. Sooner or later the
desire returns again, and if the
person gets the drug, he is likely to
become an addict again. The real
problem of Kidding the addict of his
habit permanently seems to be a
psychologist and economic problem.
The conditions which cause the
addict to crave the drug are usually
emotional or material circumstances.
A correction of these circumstances
is likely to prevent the recurrence OF
the craving.
1t is pointed out that many drug
addicts are mentally disturbed or
mentally inadequate, and that for
this reason also the mental treat
ment is one of the most significant
factors of the control.

A ND that reminds me that SIM

people are talking about when they
complain that the prose of Heming-
way is bleak and barren.
He uses no fancy words. Even
when no character is talking, there
is an effect of conversation. 1t is

Experts Touch

THERE are exceptions to this
Il rule. Some writer may have a
fine tale to tell and yet tumble his
beginning. The novice in particular
needs a little time to clear his
throat and get started on the story
which lies within.
But the touch of the expert Styl-

very first sentence.

Russia S Time Coming

THUS far, we have been in a po-
Il sition to hold the trade without
recognizing Russia, but, as William
Philip Simms points out, conditions
are changing.
Europe is getting back on its feet.
The United States is no longer the
only nation with a surplus of cash
and goods.
Up to this time, Russia couldn't
borrow or buy much anywhere else.
Within a few years, it will be a
different story.
Within few years, England, Ger
many and France will be in a posi-
ton to accommodate her.
Then, our refusal to recognize her
will not look so wise, or essential.
Politics is merry game,- but in
these days it must function to the
tune of commerce, trade, and inter-
course, as made possible by mans
inventive genius.
We are familiar with what the
railroad and steamship have done
to consolidate interests.
Who doubts that the airplane and
dirigible will do far more?
Dr. Dornier is not eXaggerating
when he predicts airplanes will car
ny useful load of 100 tons, and DR..
Eckener is not pursuing a fantastic
dream in trying to organize trans
oceanic dirigible lines.

Billions

CIT is sometimes instructive TO APP
4 praise the value of scientific
research in pecuniary terms" Gen.
Carty says. "For example, take the
very great improvements in electric
power and electric lighting which
have been made by the industrial
scientists during the last twenty-five
years.
"Were it not for these improve
ments, the bill which the public is
paying for electric current would be
greater by more than two billion
dollars year.
"a similar story could be told OF
the results of scientific research
conducted in the telephone indus
try and in the chemical and metal
lurgical industries.
"But the higher values of scien-
tif1c research must be stated In
terms of human achievement, the
elimination of poverty and disease,
the advancement of learning, the
growth of right living and good I'M
Outstanding among men.
Scientific research indispens-
able to the attainment of all OF
these ends.
According to the. vision of science,
life must no longer be regarded as
struggle among men for limited
store where one mans gain or one
nations gain must be anothers
loss.
Under the banner of scientific
research we are asked to join with
our fellow-men, working together
in controlling and utilizing the
boundless forces of nature"

Trade viii Come First

NTANGANESE presents an anon
1V1 ally. those who demand a
duty on it are not looking for pro-
lection, but revenue. Ordinarily, it
would be. left on the free list, be-
cause American steel manufacturers
need it, and because its importa-
ton does not threaten infant in
dustries" here.
But as Senator Ashurst Of Ari-
IONA points out, the steel manufac-
turers are making enough to pay a
reasonable tax on it, and why
shouldn't they?
Besides, a great part of it comes
from Russia.
Russia, it seems, is not the eco
nomic vacuum which Mr.. Hughes
called it. Money may be scarce
there, but not manganese, oil, or
market for farm implements.
Even Communists have to swap
things, not only with each other,
but with outsiders.
No matter what kind of govern
ment they may enjoy, one hundred
and forty million people occupying
two million square miles of rich
land are bound to develop more or
less trade.
Some day, that trade is going to
sidetrack our political prejudiceS.

proclamation of the President after
a state constitution had been
framed and stated officers elected.
Joseph K. Toole, Democrat, was
the first Governor Of Montana.
In the first national election IN
1892. eMontana was Republican;

in 1896 and 1900, and thereafter
almost invariably Republican.
The state suffered for many years
from industrial troubles which
conferred about Butte and other
cities where labor was at a stand
still for a considerable, time.
Montana had a population OF ap-
proximatelv 100000. It was crossed
by Lewis and Clark in 1904. 1t
ranks third in size among the states
in the Union, its area being 146,997
square miles, of which 1876 miles
are under water.
Glacier National Park, in north
eastern Montana, has an area OF
$4,000 acres, eighty glaciers ranging
from five square miles down to a
few acres, and more than ESQ lakes.

Public Is Benefited Beyond
Calculation By the Discov-

By DAVID DIETZ-

UTISE industrial leaders have
wv realized the value of scien-
tific research to- industry. AS q re-
suit, such organizations as the Gen
eral Electric Company, American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company, to cite only
three of the larger ones, maintain
great research laboratories.
The projects under way in these
laboratories include many of the So
called pure science researches as
well rs work in applied science. For
these companies realize that the
pure science of one generation is the
applied science of the next.
In one generation a Heinrich
Hertz is playing In the laboratory
with some sort Of mysterious thing
known as electro magnetic waves.
In the next generation, the whole
world is listening to radio sets.
These corporations are wise
enough to know that it is impossible
for any one to foretell the impor-
lance Of any scientific discovery.
But 1t is also important to realize
the value of scientific research to
the public.
It is bringing enormous savings
to the public. General John j. Carly,

phone and Telegraph Company, de-
