(Ga.) Pilot.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-01-24

In offering an amendment to the air commerce act
Of 1926. providing for the examination and rating Of
flying schools by the department Of commerce, | had IN
mind the fulfillment Of one Of the greatest needs Of
American aeronautics today.
America, particularly young America, desires to ac-
guire wings; but there IL a perplexing problem before
the aspiring pilot in the form Of his inability to OBJ
tain 4 course Of instruction that not only will qualify
him to fly when and where he pleases, but at the same
time will clothe him with safety and make him of pc
tential value to the aerial reserve defense OF the nation.
The federal government, through the air commerce
act Of 1926, which is administered by the secretary Of
commerce, has rendered valuable assistance to aviation
and to the American public. The government directs
Dramatically sound through the approyedtype-certifi
cate and the license feature; it directs attention to en-
gines and ~propellers that are reliable, proven and sound
through the same feature; 1T directs attention TO ade-
quatc airports throughout the country through the air
port rating system, and it directs attention to the safest
routes for cross-eountry flying by providing airways
equipped with lighting, meteorological and emergency
landing facilities.
Yet the beginner is left to struggle in the wilder
ness as to where to so for his aeronautical education
because there il nothing on record that can serve as a
guide 20 properly equipped schools where NJ may obtain
training that viii give him a sound foundation for a
career in civil aeronautics. This potential pilot, and
there are thousands 0 fthem throughout the country
today, il left 70 pick, hit OF miss. an institution that
or may nos qualify him FOR a career or avocation
in aeronautics. His choice may 20 80 far wrong as t.
him his life.

Tim Murphy Hailed

To the Editor of The Stsr:
You were right in your news an
nouncement of the death Of Tim Muir
ply when you say, ITO the younger
generation 1t will mean little or moth
ing in that he was favorite of bygone
days" He was not only favorite, but
great actor-more so than he was a
general box Office favorite, because of
the inherent intolerancy of his name
to a very considerable number of the
atergoers then, as now. "A rose by any
other name would smell as sweet" but
with different name he would have
been one of the greatest paying stars
in the business of yesteryears I had a
very vivid as we'll as an expensive, ex-
ample of it at the Columbia Theater, in
this city, years ago. when he was starred
with us in one of the most artistic roles
ever given an actor, and was 100 per
cent perfect, which, at the time, the
critics so pronounced, to the poorest
business played at the theater. Any
other name than his would have packed
the house, which was the reason why

was worn by William Jennings Bryan in

which became so famous that its wearer

Cost of Electing President
Now Accepted AS Legitimate

most as much more, through unofficial
sources, as was expended through their
party organization"
proud Of the fact that 1t cost as much
as 1t did to awaken interest in either
candidate and to get out the vote for
him. argued the Davenport Demo-
crat, while the Asheville Times states
in review of the existing practice: "An
these politico-f financial transactions
have been carried on without any pro-
tests. The moral indignation that once
was so hot against big campaign funds
seems suddenly to have been dissipated.
Probably the country is coming to the
viewpoint toward these funds that 1t
has long since adopted for combinations
of capital: they are by no means evil
in Themselves somewhat doubtful
conclusion. However this may be, APP
parently the limit on campaign contri-
buttons, both as to total sums and the
individual contributions, has been re-
moved, or the sky made its symbol"
while these reports suggest that the
1928 campaign set new high mark for
expenditures" in the Judgment OF the
New York Evening Post, there Is rea-
son to believe that they did not equal
those in 1896. before complete account
ings were required. These were esu-
mated at the time at more than S1Q,-

outlay of several millions by the Demo-
Gratis. The Republican and Democratic
national committees spent about $3,-

that advantageous lands might be pro-
cured and administrative salaries paid.
A native Westerner, he knew and loved
the country wherein most OF the parks
lie. His personal example, as well as his
skill in presenting the cause of the
national parks to Congress, had weight
with the legislative branch, so that
generous appropriations have been
made on their behalf. He not
only interested lawmakers, but OBJ
tanned the cooperation of private
citizens of means and of vision, en-
thusing them with his own spirit, with
the result that our park system was
made larger and more comprehensive
and its pleasures and profits more &C
cessible to the tourist.
Not often is a country so fortunate
as to possess at the head of one Of its
governmental branches an executive SO
whole heartedly devoted to the interest
thereof. This entire Nation has bene-
flied by Mr.. Mather's services. That
he may recover in full his impaired
health and live long to enjoy some of
the pleasures he has created for his
fellow citizens will be the ardent hope
of his many friends and his many ad-
mirerS.

No American, even though he be ex-
allied to the White House, is or can be
omniscient. The nany-tongued voice
Of the people can only be a welcome
voice in the ears Of man about to
be elevated to the grave responsible
ties Herbert Hoover must presently
shoulder.
On no outstanding public issue is
there unanimity Of view among the
American people. There is none even
among members Of the Republican
party. Citizens see such problems as
farm relief, prohibition, Great Lakes
to-the-sea canal, Boulder Dam, flood
relief, national defense, merchant
marine, reapportionment and interna-
tional relations through differently
colored spectacles. All that a new
President can hope to proclaim in his
inaugural address is a program that
reconciles his own views on given ques-
tons with the largest possible number
Of views among his fellow Americans.
Mr.. Hoover is q well known believer
in the efficacy Of counsel and confer
ence. We may be sure that his time in
Washington is not being devoted ex-
clusively to patronage perplexities. On
the contrary, the conclusion may safely
be INDUCED that the President-elect is
Systematically engaged in listening in
on Uncle Sans hopes, aspirations and
wishes for the four years which Amer
lea and the world are about to asso-
ciate with the name OF Herbert Hoover.

Stephen T. Mather.

That this Nation for a decade pos
sessed as the head Of its national park
service a man as competent, as far-see-
ing and as public spirited as Stephen T.
Mather should always be cause for
self-congratulation That it loses his
services because of his resignation due
to long-continued i'll health, patiently
borne, is a source of regret to every one
of his colleagues, including his able sue
cessor, and to every citizen who has par
taken Of the benefits and Of the enjoy
ments which our great national parks
afford,
A man of wealth as we'll as an en-
thusiastic conservationist and technical
expert along conservation lines, Mr.

The Inaugural Message.

Reports oozing out of the tower OF
silence which President-elect Hoover
inhabits during his present brief So
iourn in Washington are concerned
almost exclusively with speculation re-
garding the makeup Of his cabinet.
These narratives leave out OF account
one factor which must be engaging the
attention Of Mr.. Hoover and his callers
quite as assiduously as the question who
shall be Mr.. Secretary This or who
Mr.. Secretary That after March next.
The President-elect has great and
traditional duty to perform on that day
Tt consists of his inaugural address.
Since time immemorial the remarks
which the incoming Chief Executive
delivers on the historic east steps OF
the Capitol have been the keynotes OF
their administrations. They pitch the
tone in which their major policies are
enunciated far more distinctly than is
possible in speeches accepting presi-
Dental nominations. Inaugural adj
dresses are couched in terms Of definite
responsibility. A speech of acceptance
is bid for the peoples support. Ar
inaugural utterance at the Capitol Is
a Presidents promise to carry out the
mandate with which the electorate has
intrusted him.
So the procession of party leader:
and distinguished advisers now stream
ing past Herbert Hoover is not COM
posed entirely Of place-hunters or o.
spokesman for place-hunters. They ART
part and parcel of the system Of pop
ular government of which the Cali
fornian is about to become the head
That system calls for contact with thu
Nations citizenry. 1t is well for bott
President-elect and for his unoficia
visitors that It should b established
