Sir Malcolm on Speed.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Sir Malcolm Campbell recently drove motor car faster than any one else. After he came pacK rom making his worlds record of 300337 miles an hour at the Bonneville Salt Flats, he was rendered a public dinner in New York.
 At the dinner he made it plain that he regards fast driving as a serious business. He emphasized the matter by saying he was the last person ln the world to suggest driving fast on the road He fol- lowed that up with the admonition: Tt is up to everyone to prevent road fatalities.
 Perhaps he had in mind the ninth paragraph ol the newly adopted Motor Code of England, which reads: eRemember the faster you are travelling the smaller is the margin of safety, should an emer- gency arise and the serious must be the result ;on an accident Within the last few months the British laws do not permit more than 50 miles an hour in but-up districts.
 It is true that along with higher speeds braking human factor to reckon with Recent tests by one of the large insurance companies shows this to be variable quantity. Using device known as re iactometer" it was discovered that of 3867 drivers tested only three could react in a quarter Of a second But by far the largest number, l,207 re- ouired five eighth of second to act while the re- mander took greater time.
 AS for Sir Malcolm Campbell his ratio was oi the best He could act in less than a quarter of a second by this machines automatic timing Con- sdering the growing factors of danger, the i'm possibility of enforcing mechanical tests of stopping or of keeping from the streets those whose reactions are not quick enough, it seems that we shall nave to regulate speed drastically.

WHY NOT GIVE THE COLONISTS
 A CHANGE?

Edward Doherty writing in the current issue of the Liberty magazine, reports but house com pleed the Matanuska colonization project He tells vividly of the child that died and the mos -qutoed dnetted coonist from the Middle West shak- -fng his fist at the mountains wishing he back - In the States. He describes what he terms gross mismanagement almost wrecking the project. Able writer that MT Doherty is, it is evident that he gathered his material at least three months ago and then pointed his article for dramatic effect which loses good deal of it's foundation when compared with what actually is going at the project right now.
 Gov John w Troy who was at Mataniska this week, finds 96 houses fully completed and the families moved into them. Twenty-sev other houses virtually finished, Col LeRoy Hunt, Ad- minstrator reports, and the coonists soon will be moving into them The balance all under con- struction and will be through probably before the month is out The Governor in commenting after ' survey of the project had this to say:
 I am agreeably surprised to find such
 splendid construction program which includes
 homes, community center, livestock sheds
 and road system. A fine grayeed road
 serves every farm. The spirit of the people
 is splendid The whole project promises
 
 ges Congressman Marion A zoncheck of Washing ton State after recently surveying the project said -e here that he success for the undertaking and great benefits to Alaska He declared that despite its criticism the project particularly fortunate one.
 It would be foolish to say that everything has been in the popular phrase, bowl of cherries for J the coonists It must be admitted there was con- A1 fusion at the outset and that of the families brought to the Matanuska dissatisfied and had to go back But out of what might have been real chaos has arisen going enterprise which has genu- oi Inc promise of Most of the early difficult ties have been ironed out The management now 1.is efficient and the people happy Thus it would appear that the information Writer Doherty is giv- ing his readers at this time is decidedly of line with actual conditions and extremely unfair to those courageous people who have from the drought stricken Middle West to attempt to rehabilitate themselves in the North.

hasty recognition Of President Men,
dieta by the United States, contrary
to what seems to be the general i'm
preston, has not put an end to the
Cuban storm. It has momenterily
eased the tension and created an ap-
pearance Of stability, but it has not
even touched the fundamental issues
behind the Cuban unrest 1t has only
postponed the crisis. II anything.
from the 'Pan-American point Of
view,' it has aggravated the problem.
Due to the peculiar political and eco
nomic relations between the two
countries, the hurried recognition Of
Mendieta amounted to an indirect
intervention in determining the COM
position of the Cuban government.
This, naturally, only added to the
suSpiciousness and sensitivenesS of the
Cuban masses, already resentful of
such intervention in the past. Justi-
fiedly or not, when the Mendieta ad-
ministration fails to bring about i'm
mediate economic relief, the people
will partly blame the United States
for having made that administration
possible. In the reaction which is
bound to follow, 'anti-Yankee' senti-
ment will run even higher than be-

Foreign Policy Association Probe
Blames u. S. for Unrest i'm Cuba

Almost a year ago we wrote in
these columns: "The events which
have been taking place in Cuba since
last August give indication that there
is among the Cuban people wide
spread movement of discomfort. not
only against particular political
leaders. but against the whole order
Of things as they stand today.
There is a movement for reform
quick reform, radical reform. This
Is only natural after an eight-year
dictatorship in which the Cubans had
an opportunity to get acquainted with
all the evils of the present system.
It Is even more so after three decades
of so-called self-government, under
which the Cubans have seen one
bad government succeeded by an
other-or by a worse one-while they
were being constantly exploited by
the moneyed classes, national and
foreign.
who knows but that this move
ment might not develop into some
thing like the Mexican revolution
which started in 1910 with the fall
Of Porfirio Diaz and is still incom-
plete? The elements for a re-enact-
ment Of the Mexican drama are cer-
tainly there. The scenario, the plot,
the characters are there, even though
the leading actors may not have as
yet appeared on the stage. Those
who attempt to force an immediate
solution to the Cuban crisis should
bear this in mind. They may be
trying to drown a genuinely popular
movement, a regenerating movement
when they rally too soon and too
earnestly behind the first conserva-
tive who promises them eventual
peace and continuance of the exist
ing order."

Never have had such feeling
of getting to the very core OF
America; never in the crowded towns,

typical of the striving, strenuous ef-

Only fools pretend to pooh pooh the

deprived of feeling for the truly i'm

ignore the bulk of past which lies at
the back of America. moulding its

To me, Americas history is all-im-

which represents such a mighty off,
spring of our white civilization, and
also because of its influence on the
future of the world
I believe its tradition to be one of
the richest existing, because it is
made up of the mingling and melting

King OF the ChippewaS.
A tall young man with a COM
plexion of the rich color of the ripe
chestnut and limbs as cleanly cut
as those of Michelangelos statue
of David, called upon President Cleve-
land the other day. He wanted an
appointment to o cadetShip at West
Point. It was young Hole-in-the-
Day, the son Of the noted Chippewa
chief, and now the King Of all the
ChippewaS. I met him this morning.
He is about 1S years old, is over
feet tall and has an eye like that
Of an eagle. It was in Washington
that his father, the noted Chippewa
King, met the woman who became
his wife. In 1867 old Hole-in-the-
Day came here to see the President.
He was made much of by the news
papers, feted by society and was
everywhere spoken of as the rich
Indian King who owned the greater

Two White House Portraits.
Eliphalet F. Andrews, the noted
artist, was engaged at the White
House this morning in hanging his
new painting of Thomas Jefferson so
that better light might fall upon it..
This painting is considered one of the
finest, If not the finest, portrait of
Jefferson ever painted. Mr.. Andrews
expects to sell it to the Government
for the White House, and the price
which he puts upon it is $1,000. He
considers it the best piece of work he
has done. Senator Voorhees,, who
looked at it at the same time I did
this morning, is delighted with it.
The fine picture of Martha Wash
ington in the east room of the White
House was painted by MIR. Andrews in
1878, the dress for the picture being
an authentic copy Of the costume of
the time. It was made in Paris for q
wealthy lady, to be worn at the Martha
Washington tea party in Philadelphia
in 1875. The dress worn by Jefferson
in this new painting was made to
order for Mr.. Andrews and Is an exact
copy of clothes Mr.. Jefferson used to
wear.
In thinking of Washington art,
people are apt to consider the Cor
coran Art Gallery only The truth
is that all the public buildings are
full of fine paintings, and some of
the most beautiful pictures of WASH

Government officials. In the grand
