bined the qualities which went to
make up the personality of this
scbolar-adventurer, who had not
vet reached the height Of his career.
T. E. Lawrence might have lived to
become the leader of the English
government, for he had just hest
pned the humble post in which ne
had buried himself since his ex-
ploits in Arabia made him world
famous, in order to go into politics
Lawrence was only 46 years old
when he died, but into those AZ
wears he had crowded enough ex-
nerience in a diversity of helds to
f11 the l;fetimes of several ordinary
men. A brilliant scholar and lin
guist, he had gone into the Ara
han desert with an archaeological
expedition, and learned not only
the language but the habits and
manner of thought Of the native
neople. who were groaning under
Turkish m~isrule. Arabs are slow
to give their confidence to an out
slider, but Lawrence captured their
devotion, and when the opportunity
came, during the war, to lead the
Arabs toward independence, they
followed him gladly.
He picked the one Arab chief
whom he trusted, Feisal, to become
the king of the newly-liberated ma
ton. and after the most amazing
adventures and deeds of daring
which read like tales of the age OF
chivalry, he broke the Turkish
strength in Mesopotamia and set
his friend Feisal on the throne OF
the desert kingdom. Then, de-
%clining all honors and stunning
publicity, he enlisted in the British
aviation forces under an assumed
name, as "Aircrafstman Shaw" He
had just left that post when he
died.
Anyone who likes to read of stir
ring adventure ought to read Law
rence's book, Revolt in the De-
sert." Unlike many such tales, it
is true story.

CANDIDATES are mentioned

lOANDlDA Is -. are mentioned
Names of eminent men who
might make good Presidential can
didates for the Republicans in 1886
pop up in the news almost every
day. One of the latest suggestions
is for the party to draft Justice
Owen ]. Roberts of Pennsylvania
from the Supreme Court of the
United States. This would be fol-
lowing the precedent set in 1916,
when Charles E. Hughes was taken
from that bench to run against
Woodrow Wilson-and nearly won
the election.
Justice Roberts isn't saying any
thing. I think it doubtful that he
will be the party's leader next year.
Not that he isn't a good man, for
he is. He would be a good Presi-
dent, but that doesn't mean he
would be a good candidate.
Some Nebraskans are "promot-
ling" ]. R. McCar1, Comptroller
General of the United States, and
the only man who a tell the
President and Cabinet where to
head in. Others are talking about
a coalition between Republicans
and conservative Democrats and
talking of Lewis A. Douglas of
Arizona, former Director of the
Budget, and Alfred E. Smith, as
'Ipossible heads of a Fusion ticket.
Probably lone of the men | have
named will be a Presidential can
didate, but the fact that politicians
everywhere are talking about can
didates indicates a decided warm
ing up in the interest in the 1896
elections.
.|POSTMARKS -. and collectors
The appointment of Oscar Phil
lips as postmaster at Santa Claus:
Indiana, suggests the interest which
stamp collectors and others take in
postmarks. Every year tens OF
thousands of persons send Christ
mas packages and cards on to the
Santa Claus ~postoffice to be re-
mailed SO they will bear that ap-
propriate address. One of my
stamp collector friends prizes the
covers" of letters which he re-
ceived from the Byrd Polar expedi-
tions-one from the North Pole
and one from the South pole
above everything in his collection.
I know one man who is trying
to make a complete collection of
postmarks, to include every post
office in the United States. Count
ing the s~ub-stations, there are more
than 5000 of them. He figures
that it will have cost him in post
age alone more than $1,000 to

POPULATION DATA
(1930 Census)
FRIDAY, MAY 81, 1885
TALKING POLITICS

We read a great deal in the city
newspapers, and hear a great deal OF
talk among the folk we meet, about
the political outlook for 1886. W.
hear of men who used to regard
themselves as Republicans express
ing complete satisfaction with Mr.
R~oosevelt's Administration and the
determination to vote for him again
if he is renominated, which un-
doubtedly he will be. On the other
hand, we hear of and occasionally
meet a Democrat who says he is
disguised with the New Deal and
will vote the Republican ticket
next year.
We hear people talking Of candi-
dates to oppose Mr. Roosevelt, of
the possibility of a third party or
even a fourth or a fifth party. Some
think we may develop some coali-
ton such as now exists in Eng
land, where a National party, COM
posed of leaders drawn from all of
the old parties, runs the govern
r1ent.
All of this talk is of interest,
and it is significant because It me
dicates clearly that, whatever else
we may have done, the people of
America have not surrendered their
political independence. Nothing, as
we see it, would be worse for the
future of America than to have
any party leadership so firmly seat
ed in power that nothing could dis
lodge it. That, of course, is the
ambition of leaders of every party
1t has seldom been realized, proba-
bly, never will be. For any element
which remains in authority toe
long inevitably gets to the state
of mind where the maintenance Of
the party, rather than the best in
terests of the nation, controls it
activities. That has happened more
than once in our history.
A healthy opposition is needed al
all times. That can only come
about when the mass of the people
take a genuine interest in politics
Before there can be any such oppo'
ton set up for 1886, however
there must be an agreement upor
principles on which to base the op.
position. 1t seems to us that it i
foolish to talk about candidates be.
fore there is a clear definition Of thu
differences between the ms ane
the Outs.

any rate, it is a harmless hobby.
FABRIC -. a magic cloth
A new fabric which seems to
have revolutionary possibilities has
been developed by a New England
cotton mill. AS described by one
technical observer, it utilities not
only cotton but any other vegeta-
bic or animal fiber, and is produced
by a process which has something
of the technique of paper-making
and some methods used in rubber
goods manufacture. 1t hasn't any
name as yet, but it can be made
thin enough for a silk handkerchief
or sturdy enough for factory belt
ing. 1t is decribed as lending itself
to a wider range of colors than any
fabric and as having the
power of absorbing sound when
used as draperies.
That sounds like magic; but it
is merely another example Of the
new things which industry stands
ready to provide when the return
Of financial stability makes it pru-
to invest money in their pro-
duction and distribution. The re-
workers in the laboratories
are not standing still, but are
working steadily on new marvels,
many Of which we as yet have no
inkling of, but which may be the
commonplace of ten years from
now.
DIAMOND the largest
The largest diamond ever dis
covered is coming to the United
States. A year ago the world was
amazed by the news from the
South African diamond YIELDS that
a flawless diamond as big as a hens
egg had been found by a poor
farmer named Jonkers. The for
tunate finder sold it for something
like 100000 to one of the big
diamond companies, which has
been holding it for the market un-
til somebody was ready to pay its
real value.
1t is reported that the American
purchaser paid $4,000 for this
stone, which is still uncut. Prob
ably when it is properly cut and
polished it will be worth a lot
more than a million.
What interests me, however, is
that there is still money in such
huge sums ready for investment in
diamonds. The diamond market is
looking up. Many who formerly
boarded gold are now putting their
money into diamonds, as the safest
portable investment and one which
can be turned quickly into cash at
any time, besides holding the rea-
sonable certainty of becoming
worth more as the purchasing
value of the dollar goes down.
stunter's fault
The biggest airplane ever built,
the Maxim Gorky," crashed over
Moscow the other day, killing
every one Of its ~ passengers and
crew. 1t was no fault of the big
plane, however; it was a collision
with a small plane which was doing
stunts too near it.

limit of airplanes, but in general,

The Slender Thread of Life.

A man in Chattanooga has just
demonstrated the utter futility OF
evading an adverse fate. He had an
alteration with his housekeeper, who
stabbed him. An ambulance was
called and he was sent to the hospital
for treatment. The ambulance was
involved in three-way collision; a
second one was called to complete the
trip, but it caught fire before 1t
reached the scene of the wreck. A
third was summoned and the patient
was delivered for treatment, which was
sufficient to permit him to be dis
charged. He started to walk home
and was struck by a hit-and-run
driver and killed. This perhaps es-
tabliSheS a record of malevolence.
Had the housekeeper's blow been a
trifie deeper or perhaps an inch or SO
to one side or the other the immediate
death of the victim would have been
just another item of comparatively
minor news in these times of frequent
slaughter. Had the patient been
killed in the first accident it would
have been worth bit more space in
the daily annals. But the combina-
ton Of dangerous wound, a delaying
traffic smash-up and final fatality
through the reckless driving of some
unknown speedster puts this case in
the category of demonstrations that
modern urban life is always precarious

A Job Well Done,

Two Americans will return to Wash
ington from overseas this week who
deserve well of their Government and
Of their country. They are Ambas-
sador Norman H. Davis and Admiral
William H. Standley, back from the
wars Of the recent naval conversations
In London. They are not bringing
trophies of victory in the form of ar
rangements for preservation Of the
limitations treaties, which, it was
hoped, would emerge from the Anglo
American-Japanese talks.
What Mr.. Davis and Admiral Stand
ley did at London was to uphold with
firmness, dignity and success the
theory of the United States that con-
tinuance of the existing 5-5-3 ratio,
with its guarantee of equality Of Sc
curity, is the only basis upon which
progressive reduction o. naval arma-
ments should be undertaken. Japan's
insistence upon actual equality =
armaments rendered agreement IN
London impossible, and since then the
Toxic government has formally served
notice that, as far as the japanese are
concerned, existing featies will come
to an end on December 81, 1886.
