San Salvador is a division POM
for the Pan-American A4-wssz-
Planes from Brownsville. Tex,
Havana, Guatemala City and Pan
ama meet there for the night.
Employees are housed in a home
Of their own. They enjoy Ameri-
can cooking and beds.
San Salvador's major crop is cof-
fee. TRAFFIC policemen carry pistols
and flashlights as regular equip
ment. The police direct traffic with
Two flashlights, one red and one
green. There are practically no
street lights.
Bullocks hauling loaded two
wheeled carts, women with bun
dies on their heads and nearly
nude children, playing in the
streets with yo-yo tops are a few
vivid impressions Of its street life.
Restless Among Volcanoes
The next morning we took of in
a. big tri-motored plane and dropped
down on the Managua, Nicaragua
landing field, in three hours. 1t
takes eight hours by the Isthmus OF
Panama.
Managua is nestled among smoky
volcanoes and is the capital of that
turbulent republic Nicaragua. Amer
lean marines strolled through the
streets. SANDING is one of the most
popular heroes among the natives.
Business interests of Managua
are glad that American marines are
still on the job. Shopkeepers say
that the marines are their biggest
industry. The city has paved streets
OF a kind, but nothing to brag
about.
The next stop was to be Cristo-
bal, Panama. The tri-nlotored plane
in which / made the flight was well
filled with American travelling sales
men and local business men.
In Jungle FastneSs
We stopped to refued at little
village called Puntarenas in Costa
RIGA. While the plane was refueled
7 walked around the landing field
There was nothing but rank jungle
ON all sides.
The mountainous jungle from
Puntarenas to David, Panama, was
most interesting. 1t didn't look very
inviting for a forced landing, how
ever.
The pilot told me that there were
emergency landing fields along the
route, but I failed to see them. But
we didn't need any emergency fields
and landed at David field safely.
We stopped for only twenty min
utes Then headed for Panama
City.
Trip Through Driving Rain
This part of the trip was made
through a driving tropical rain.
When we were over Panama City
it was impossible to see the town
because of the heavy storm.
The stop at Panama City was
Just long enough to unload pas
sengers and we were in the air
again for the last leg of our days
flight. We flew at $500 feet.
Saw the sunrise on the Pacific
and the sunset on the Atlantic.
Must be something wrong? -3It
no. the Atlantic side of the Panama

A Long WaY to Go

The straw ballots taken from time to time on
presidential candidates enlightening only if one
remembers that the political situation changes rapidly
and that the leading candidate today may not be
the lucky man tomorrow.
That is our reaction to the poll just announced
by the outlook and Independent. This poll
of the editors of leading Democratic and independent
newspapers at least two in each state. Of 142 poed
sixty-one replied.
In voting their personal preferences, majority
favored Newton D. Baker. Baker received so per
cent more than Roosevelt the second choice The
Others in order of votes were Young, Smith, Tray
lor Reed Ritchie.
OF more practical significance, perhaps, The
poll in which these same editors the basis of their
supposed knowledge of political sentiment in the
try, voted their prediction to the choice of
didate by the Democratic convention Editors in
thirty of the thirtyfour states represented picked
Roosevelt as the winner.
This editors guessing contest probably is not
much different in result from the opinion of SINH
lar group of bankers lawyers. Virtually all political
prophets professional and otherwise today agree that
Roosevelt has the best chance
1t is interesting, however, that two months ago
Roosevelts chances generally were rated much lower
Many political insiders then thought that the
vention could be deadlocked by the anti-Roosevelt
group, with the result that the nomination would go
to Young, Baker, dark horse.
Meanwhile Roosevelt has increased his popularity
greatly by his manner of handling the Tammany
investigation, the st. Lawrence power project, and
unemployment relief measures.
But the main thing to remember is that there are
ten months to go in the nomination race and four
teen months to go in the election
Just as events of two short months seem to have
obtained the nomination, and even the election for
Roosevelt, so developments in any month of the
ten-month or the fourteen month may ruin
his chances.
Certainly the coming months promise to be criti-
cal in the economic field and for prohibition. Many
regulations are going to be made and unmade.
That applies to Roosevelt. 1t also applies to
Hoover.
Most political dopesters of both parties admit that
If the election were tomorrow, Roosevelt would be
the Democratic candidate and would beat Hoover.
But the election is not tomorrow There is long
way yet to 90.

On one part Of the new program of
spending highway money for employment
the people should be adamant.
Every man who works on those roads
must be given a generous wage.
1t may be necessary to abandon the use
Of machinery in order to give work to men.
But when that is done the men must be paid
a wage that formerly went to the owners of
the machine
The state has nothing to boast about in
its record of protecting workers. Under the
contract system of building roads outrages
have been perpetrated on practically every
project. Men have been bought on the basis
of competition instead of needs. The result
has been that such road work as has been
done has profted the contractor and the
vendor of bonds and the other political ia
vorites, and only a small proportion has
gone to the men who have performed the
work. On some contracts the wage paid
has been scandalously low.
Now the state is to use its funds for the
dual purpose of giving work to the voorhees,
and getting some small benefit in the way of
better roads. The state becomes responsible
for the wage
The people will closely scrutinize the
operation of the new system. They will not
be as much interested in the roads as they
will in the men.
They will demand that the policy of
President Hoover again against any wage
cutting be followed in this instance
The men who get this work must receive
not the prevailing" wage of their commune
ties, but a generous wage that is based on
needs, not on a competition of human beings
for bread.

for bread.

Were indianapolis to follow the custom of some
other cities and select each year the citizen who per-
formed the most useful service there would be no
difficulty in making the choice.
Norman Perry today opens new stadium for his
ball team. A baseball club as to being a
public enterprise any institution not housed the
city hail. To build magnificent new home for
baseball at time when business is at standstill and
industry is talking retrenchment instead of expan-
sion required courage and faith
Baseball is a part of the national life. While
enthusiasm for other sports wanes and rises from
time to time, baseball keeps its grip upon the mag
ination and the interest of the people.
While other leaders wondering whether the
elusive thing called prosperity will ever be coaxed
back again, Mr.. Perry demonstrates his faith in the
future by erecting most magnificent stadium to
which the public will journey to watch the games
Last week he gave the city an airplane The city
has a great airport. 1t needed an official plane.
There is no money just now to buy one. 1t remained
for Norman Perry to supply the need
The two public services, coming almost stimuli
taneousy, only bring universal wish for success
to the of the ball team and the thanks of an
appreciative community.
