Amelia Earhart Succeeds.

Amelia Earhart's achievement in fly
ing the Atlantic alone from west to east
makes new record, she being the first
woman to cross without a companion.
By coincidence she has made her
flight on the fifth anniversary of Lind
berghs thrilling accomplishment. She
did not reach her goal, which was Paris,
but landed at Londonderry, in the north
Of Ireland, making that point because
her plane was disabled by the burning
out Of the exhaust manifold, which had
troubled her for several hours in mid
ocean. This circumstance makes the
flight more remarkable and adds to the
credit Of the performance
There was grave apprehension when
this accomplished woman flyer took off
yesterday from Harbor Grace. Yet it
was recognized that she had circum-
stances in her favor She was expert
enced and she had a good plane. She
took advantage of the best possible
weather conditions, with an earlier
start than was expected in order to
make the utmost of this situation. BY
her successful flight she has added to
the knowledge of transatlantic aviation
and has undoubtedly advanced the ex-
pectation Of eventual regular heavier
than-air oceanic service.

There is nothing new or strange in
the appointment Of members Of families
of Representatives or Senators to the
personnel rolls of Congress. 1t has been
done from time inmemorial and it will
undoubtedly continue to be done to the
end of congressional history. These po-

Admiral Benson.

One by one, in many countries, per-
sonalities that were outstanding in the
World War are fading from the pi:-
ture. Americans mourn today the
passing of Admiral William S. Benson,
chief of naval operations during the
critical days of 1917 and 1918.
To no man was greater credit due
for the effective weight which the
United States threw into the allied
cause at sea than this seasoned sailor.
The eventual suppression of the Ger
man submarine campaign, especially
its demonstrated inability to prevent
the transport of our great Army to the
European battlefelds, was in no small
measure attributable to the co-opera-
ton which the United States Navy
gave the British Grand Fleet. The

An Air STAMPEDE,

From the Butte, Montana, Standard.
Glowing reports concerning mineral
discoveries at Great Bear Lake, in the
far Northwestern Territory of Canada,
would, under normal circumstances, oc-
casion an old-fashioned rush" or
stampede" But this is impossible at
the new alleged Ell Dorado. The only
quick way to reach Great Bear is by
airplane. To attempt to get in by any
other route would bring the prospector
to the promised land just as a nine
months Winter was setting in. 1t is
true one may go considerable distance
above Edmonton, Canada, by rail. The
balance of the route can be made only
either by plane or by boat on the water
way, the tributaries and the Mackenzie
River itself.
These restrictions are limiting the
number of adventurous souls who
otherwise would join the rush The
airplane rates are high and the rates
charged for transporting merchandise
and equipment are practically prohibi-
tive to the normal type of prospector,
who is usually found in the vanguard of
such rushes. Even the Klondyke was
not nearly as inaccessible as is the new
strike at Great Bear. Thus the new
mining district is lacking most of the
spectacular features of customary from
tier camps. The gambler, the bounder
and the professional bad man are also
absent. 1t requires a stake running
into the thousands of dollars to get into
the Great Bear district. There is con-
siderable emigration red tape for Amer
leans going in, and it is also necessary
to procure mining permit Because
of these handicaps, the radium, gold
silver and copper stampede in the
Northwest is different from any others
in history.

Congress Capacity.

From the Baltimore Evening Sun.
The new pension bill which was shot
through the House was not passed for the
relief of widows and orphans of men
who died defending the country, or who
died from the retarded effects Of
wounds received in defense of the coun-
try, or even of men who fought for the
country. 1t grants pensions to the
heirs of any one who happened to be in
the Army for 80 days during the war.
In other words, this is the beginning
of regular old-style pension system,
such as has cursed the country ever
since the Civil War But it is worse
than the Civil War pension system be-
cause it is superimposed on the enor-
mously expensive war risk insurance
scheme, which was devised to avoid the
necessity of pension system. In brief,
i: is a tremendous and unconscionable
Squandering of the taxpayers money.

places are about all that is left of the
direct "spoils" Of congressional office.
The important point about the mat
ter is not who occupies these places,
but whether they are necessary at all
or whether, if necessary, they are
capably filled. Are all these places
needed in the economy of the legis-
lative organization? Are all these
services essential to the proper grind
ing of the legislative mill? Are the

A tub would be big enough to star

What sort of a tub?
Some of the catalogues advertised
cedar tubs: an article in magazine
said any old tub would do, even gal

A search of the Jones estate re.

what battered, but otherwise in tht

Templeton Jones seized upon 1t witt
something of the rapture which pos
seSses gardeners and poets at times.
Just the thing!
Into the ground it went, right up tt

A neat border of irregular pieces Of
pink marblelike rock next went int(

AS it was, he had to admit that hi:

Still, it would do for a beginning.
So into it went one Odorata minor

aris Humboldt, otherwise known as
water poppy; one EiChornia GraSsipes

called water hyacinth, and one cal

After these plants were duly installed
in the sunk tub, Templeton Jones hap
pened to pick up another catalogue.
I'VE want to warn the reader never

Water lilies, it indicated, will not
grow satisfactorily in them. Jones Won
dered why, but the article had no rea-
son to offer.
So T. Jones, acquatic investigator, de-
cided to let his pool function as it was.
Time would tell.
Time tells so much, that it must get
tired of telling, especially when SO many
people will pay no attention to what 1t
says.

The next morning the tub was run
ming over, but the floating hyancinth
was still floating, its beard-like roots
still safely within the confines of the
tub.
Several angle worms had drowned
themselves in the depths, and two small
snails Of unknown vintage, had climbed
in.
Jones knew that one was supposed
to have snails, but he was not sure
these were of the proper type.
If one had to be so finicky about ones
tub what must one be when it came
to SnailS?
Jones fished the snails out. and then,
thinking better of it, put them back in.
Ten minutes later he found them
reposing on the bank, high and cry,
as If determined to leave. Probably he
had insulted them by first lifting them
out and then putting them back in.
SnailS and human beings are very
''touchy," sometimes.
Several days later Templeton Jones
found his pool very dirty looking. Care
fully he SKINNED the scum with a big
spoon.
He must have gold fish, Japanese
snails, several CLAIMS, and similar crea-
lures.
Nor must he forget oxygenating
plants. The balance of nature-Yes,
that was it. So Jones went away to
buy fish, clans, snails, plants, to put

matriculantS learn the law in
order that they may know how to

A few years ago literature of crime

But the purveyors of these filthy prints

mercenary and constituencies attorneys,
that the law did not specifically forbid
the sale of such publications in other
mercantile establishments. The result
has been, therefore, directly in opposl-
