built dirigibles has stood up under
stress Of weather. and that fact should
serve to check further outlays unless
and until demonstration can be given
that the faults of these homemade
craft can be corrected. The question
is whether the Government should
finance experiments in this direction.
The percentage at present runs strongly
against the wisdom Of such a course.
A difference Of opinion has always
existed ON the score Of the utility OF
the dirigible as q war machine. That
heavy damage was inflicted by them
during the war in raids over enemy
territory" is conceded. These raids,
however, we're conducted from rela-
lively near bases ano covered COM
paratively narrow area. AS an ofien-
sive weapon the dirigible must have
a near objective. The United States
is not so situated as to bring any
area of possible enemy territory
within such range, save Canada and
Mexico. The chances Of war with
Great Britain and with Mexico may
be regarded as decidedly remote. For
defensive purposes, in case of an at
tack upon this country by a foreign
power, the dirigible would, in the
judgment Of military experts, be OF
but little utility, as compared with
squadrons Of heavier-than-air ma
chimes, operating from land bases or
from carriers conveyed by a battle
fleet.
It is doubtless a cause for chagrin
that the American-built dirigible has
not proved dependable. But there are
urgent needs in naval construction If
an adequate defense force Is to be
developed and maintained that call
for the building of craft that can be
relied upon to meet all requirements,
and while these are being met, with
proper appropriations, experimental
enterprise in dirigible construction Is
not to be considered as necessary or
desirable.

His Postmaster General, his Secretary
of the Treasury and others Of his
oficial family may sojourn in con-
genial Winter resorts Of the South,
but "the boss" himself perforce must
stick to his post.
Such Is the fate of any captain
who is conscious of his responsibility.
And the circumstance goes far to
explain why and how 1t Is that great
men all too frequently pay with their
health for their elevation to celebrity
and power. The old axiom by which
1t is held that there is no rest for
the wicked" might be applied with
equal appropriateness to those who
have been honorably successful In
their struggle for eminence. The mo-
ment an individual energes from the
throng and becomes q public char.
acter" society appears to conspire 6
enslave him. Every fractional in
slant Of his time Is demanded Of him
society presses In upon him pitilessly
he Is the object Of a ceaseless cam.
paign of coercion and compulsion
Even when he does attempt to escape
he is prevented from enjoying thu
least shadow Of liberty. What 1,
called a vacation is. in effect, ar
aggravation Of his lot.
The matter has been discussed from
many angles and for many years. but
nothing, it seems, can be done about
it. Conscientious leaders, naturally
enough, resent any appeal which
would mean neglect of duty, and
those less mindful of their obligations
also find their activities too circum.
scribed for flight.

Decision in Contempt Case
Brings Cautions to Senate

serves that the decision promotes
public welfare"
There is no telling how deep, how
personal the probe may be-" remarks
the Birmingham Age-Herald, $50 let
us watch our ways and be not unpre-
pared" The Miami (Fla) Herald is
impressed by the fact that witnesses
must toe the line or go to jail" and
the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette suggests
that "the burden, Of course, rests just
so much more heavily upon Congress
to make none but the most scrupu-
lousy fair use of its great powers"
The Lincoln (Nebr.) State Journal ad-
vises that "only intemperance and
abuse of the power by Congress or
committee membership will destroy
the effectiveness of this sort Of work"
Concern may be felt" says the
Dayton (Ohio) Herald, lover the pos
session by Congress Of such a big
stick as that constituted by the Su-
preme Courts decision. Investigating
committees, particularly in the Sen
ate, have been disposed at times to
go to extreme lengths In browbeating
witnesses. There is little room for
hope that such committees will be
any more gentle in the future, III view
of the Senate's victory in the court Of
last resort"
"The Senate" as viewed by the
Newark Evening News, "is bound by
no rules of jurisprudence in its in
vestigations. 1t employs methods.
puts questions, sequesters records. 1t
Is prosecutor, grand and petit jury,
and its powers as judge are now given
new recognition. The Supreme Court
having ruled, the powers must he ac-
cepted as beyond reproach in law.
They are powers which should not be
lightly used"

Too Much ssPep."
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
Any one who wants to argue that
capitalists, like Bourbons, never learn,
now has a fine instance In pepper.
The produce markets in London have
been rocked by pepepr crisis fol-
lowing upon q shellac and a peanut
crisis. A pool was formed to corner
the white-pepper supply and 1t has
now collapsed. Several business firms
have gone bankrupt and for time it
seemed as If there might be banking
reverberations.
Five thousand tons impress one as
a lot Of white pepper, but that Is
about q years supply for the London
market. Normal stocks on hand were
about q thousand tons, q couple OF
months supply. BY the time the POOLS
buying operations had sent up the
price of pepper almost 100 per cent
the visible pepper stocks in London
were 10000 tons, q four years supply,
and almost as much again was in
transit for London. From all the
odorous isles of Asia the white pepper
descended upon the London operators
in clouds. They found 1t nothing to
sneeze at.
Thus the greedy spectators of 1884
had refused to learn the lesson of
boom prices in wheat, rubber, cotton,
copper and coffee.

Dirigibles.

Secretary Swanson's declaration that
he is opposed to the further construc-
ton of dirigibles for the Navy, in the
light of the disaster to the Macon,
should at least give pause to any
movement in that direction by Con-
gress through appropriation of funds
for the replacement of the airship.
Certainly the record Of American con-
struction Of this type of defense craft
does not warrant additional heavy ex-
penditrres. Three of these dirigibles
have been built in this country and
all have been wrecked in storms with
loss of Life. The only heavier -than-air
craft commissioned for naval service
in the United States that has sur
vived is of German construction.
Whether it was more staunch or was
simply more fortunate may be q
matter of speculation, but the fact
remains that none q the Americana

for seven years in defiance of the
curse Of blindness which he feared
the native gods would cast upon him
for violating their secrets. This work
was in payment Of a debt Of graft
tude which he felt was owed to q
white Indian agent, whose arrival
on the reservation was simultaneous
with the breaking of long drought.
The Indians believed the white man
had brought the rain with him.
The value of the paintings lies In
the fact that they are absolutely ac-
curate. So much Is this the case
that they have been consulted by
present-day medicine men for details
which have been lost in the oral tra-
ditions handed down from their an
cestors. These details, as well as the
elaborate chants which are used in
the ceremony, have been passed along
for generations from medicine man to
apprentice and have been preserved
only in the memory. Any permanent
record was strictly forbidden. So
much has this been the case, in
fact, that the priests have been en-
joined to erase all the figures before
sundown each day Of the ceremony
and repaint them the next morning.
Before the start Of the nine-day
ceremony, Smithsonian officials ex-
plain, a bed of dry, yellow sand is
spread over the floor Of the medicine
lodge. Upon this bed, which served
as a sort Of altar, the medicine men
sprinkle fine lines of powdered sand
stone of different colors in elaborate
symbolic designs of consultations,
animals, plants, etc. All is surrounded
by the lines of q rainbow.
So these cloth representations today
constitute sort of Navajo scripture.
They were presented to the Smith
sonian Institution by Mrs. Charles D.
Walcott, who purchased them from
the daughter of the Indian agent from
whom they were obtained. They now
are on exhibition In the foyer Of the
National Museum.

Vacation.

President Roosevelt, according to
the judgment of Mark Sullivan, an
experienced observer, stands in need
of vacation. He is tired and at a
recent press conference betrayed "a
mood of irritability." A change of
scene, the privilege of relaxation, some
form of refreshing recreation, Mr..
Sullivan suggests, would help. But
with Congress debating recovery ex-
penditures approximating flve billion
dollars, the Supreme Court bringing
forth its decision concerning gold and
contracts, a revision Of the N. r. A.
establishment going forward and
other troubles too numerous to men
ton, the Chief Executive cannot very
well absent himself from Washington
