The Lure of the Open Spaces.

 It is a strange thing the way an artfully- chosen photograph set the mind rowing.
 MT Ordinary Citizen sets out for his job on a spring morning The early sunshine and the crisp breeze chilly but carrying a promise of warmer weather little later on, have already done things to him. made him question: perhaps, the wisdom of life that keeps him pent up in town all the time, led him to draw out again that old dream of some day living place in the open country.
 Then, opening his newspaper, he spots photo graph of one of those "open country" scenes that say, of valley in Western Montana, with tumbling mountains in the distance and fringe of trees by little stream in the foreground.
 And as he looks at it he suddenly discovers that town is poor sort of place for man to live. The fine new buildings, the busy streets the lines of factories and railways yards and so on things which ordinarily seem to him to be matters for proper local pride-now they have become artificial devices by which he is cut off from contact with his own earth they are obstacles in his way and he pays for their presence by an unfulfiled longing for the sort of thing of which the photograph speaks
 And this, in turn is apt to set him speculating about that sparkling dream which technologists have been revolving lately. Some Of these men nave remarked that the of the great city is about over that in the future all men will live on the doorsill of the open country, with factory units broken up and decentralized with electric power pulling industrial and rural closer and closer together so that no worker will any longer be held prisoner by any town
 Now all of that to be sure, is long way Tn the future and Mir Ordinary Citizen probably has mo- ments in which he wount much for it any way But a spring morning, a revival of the old perennial discontent, ordinary photograph Iof a western valley-they act powerfully to set a mans mind adrift from it's moorings. They lnVite his inner self to play the truant.

Chalk Up Two.
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The movement toward repeal cannot be guageo accurately from the results in Michigan and WIS consin. the first two States to vote on the ques- tion But it is gratifying that the voters in those States have approached near to unanimlty m their desire to take the Eighteenth Amendment ont of the Constitution In Wisconsin the vote was four to one for repeal, and in Michigan three to one The State conventions will De neariy 100 per cent for repeal.
 There are 46 States left to vote on the question. Some of them are doubtful and some are probapiy dry in sentiment The spectacular outcome Tn the first States to vote, however indicates that the tide has turned to repeal in greater proportion than was evident from miscellaneous indexes.
 Unfortunately dry organizations in some cases are seeking to prevent or to delay popular vote This tactic will not serve any useful purpose, even from their own point of view. It can only postpone a final settlement of the whole question, and drag out the present paradoxical situation of con- stitutional provision which the nation has really repudiated.
 After beer is made legal and is found not to be the dire calamity which the Drys have pro- phesied, it is to be hoped that dry organizations will recognize the desirabty of prompt State action throughout the country There is nothing to prevent such propaganda groups from campaigning for their point of view. But they have no right ethcally to use obstructionist methods in delaying the peoples privilege of casting the deciding vots

THE MACON ASCENDS.

The new Queen of the Air. the great ar-liner Macon, sister of the ill-fated Akron that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean early this month costing the lives of more than 70 officers and of the United States Army and Navy has had its first voyage in the element that is to be it's home. The making of the maiden trip evidences that the determination of the Government to perfect a lighter -than-air rigid airship has not been turned aside by the loss of the Akron. The sexpernlenta- ton will continue. American experts will continue their studies of this branch of aerial navigation.
 After all, every development in technical sciences has been marked by the sacrifice in human life and money that has gone into it's successful cumination. The railroad and steamship were perfected at ghastly cost. The automobile and airplane duplicated this. The pioneers in all these fields were regarded fools, madmen, whose puny efforts to achieve the impossible, gallant they may have been, were condemned by their saner, more conseryatively minded fellows. This is now true of the development of the lighter -than- air airship. Those who went to death the Akron were creators of and believers in this type of craft and in the program that had built their own ship and the Macon, just completed.
 The maiden trip of the latter ship was the finest testimonial yet offered to those who paid the supreme sacrifice the Akron. It means that the country still has confidence in their soundness of judgment in the work they did, in the science

WHAT THEY. SEEK TO DO.

Meetings fraught with tremendous conseqeunces are opening in Washington where leaders from England France and Italy well from many other nations of lesser world rank are gathering in response to invitations from President Roosevelt Just what they have in mind to be the creation of international confidence of international unity of action, and to inspire all of the people of the world with spirit of co-operaton.
 One of the dearest statements of the causes that have moved President Roosevelt to take ths leadership in bringing the nations of the world to a council table made the other day by Walter Lppmann, in his column To-day and Tomorrow He wrote:
 The great intent of the meeting must be
 plain to anyone who has followed the course
 of recent events.
 Ever since the of 1881, when the
 depression developed into an international
 financial crisis, the whole world has been
 subjected not merely to the normal liquida-
 tion of inflated values but to vicious and
 uncontrolled deflation which has been ruin
 ing values that by any reasonable standard
 represent prudent and necessary investment.
 This uncontrolled deflation has natural
 end except universal bankruptcy; it has been
 more completely out of hand and much more
 nearly universal than any frenzied imitation
 which the world has witnessed in modern times. The consequences have been un-
 employment of fantastic dimensions, destitu
 ton a scale beyond anything known in
 this era, and the gradual destruction of faith
 and credit, of social order and communal
 feeling It has long been evident to clear
 headed men in all parts of the world that no
 nation could by it's action alone arrest
 the deflaton insulate itself against its
 effects It has been equally evident that
 no international action could possibly be
 taken effectively unless preceded and then
 accompanied by radical measures of domestic
 reorganization and readjustment The quar-
 rel as to whether salvation must be national
 or international has been empty argu-
 ment For the truth has been that the
 two approaches to the problem are in-
 extricably connected
 The President has made fine start on the domestic situation He has submitted plans fol partially curing the unemployment problem that are generally approved and restored confidence of the people in the nations ability to right itself. They have placed in MT. Roosevelt's hands concen- tration of power that has already worked well It cannot however succeed in restoring the standard that has become typically American until interna- tionaly deflationary forces checked and similar restorative remedies applied universally and simutan- eously.
 To apply the philosophy internationally that has been applied domestically, it is essential to create an international confidence comparable to that nov existing at home Governments cannot do anything of lasting value unless they supported by theil ton conversations to remove the complex barriers that for the past three years have made worldwide cooperation and worldwide confidence impossible

in which they pioneered and advanced to more definite stage
 As in other and earlier fields of invention and science whatever happens to the Macon, men will continue to strive for the goal of perfection in vessels of her type. And some day, structural balance and strength will be made just right, problems of landing of handling in high winds, will yield to insstent and the prophetic vision of such men Admiral Moffett-of great arliners linking nation to nation and conquerng the un- known spots of the gobe-will have been realized.
