Brought To End
Max Gardner Paid $4,000
by Air Interests

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. (UPl
The senate munitions commit
tee closed its stormy, two year
arms inquiry yesterday with dis
closure Of letter dated last year
recommending that airlines retain
former Democratic Govrrner o.
Max Gardner of North Carolina to
influence new airmail legislation
because he is a politician of the
first water. ...
The letter, written by James P.
Murray, eastern representative of
Boeing Aircraft Corpn., to G.. L.
Evtvedt. president of the COM
pany, disclosed that Gardner was
paid $4,000 as special counsel
for the aeronautical chamber OF
commerce after Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley cancelled all
airmail contracts in 1884.
Murray urged that Gardner be
retained alta fee of $4,000 for
1913 saying: ...
PERSONALLY, | feel that Gard
ner can be of more help during
this session of congress in order
to get proper airmail legislation
than he has been to the industry
during the past 10 OF II months.
He is a politician of the first
water and my observations tell
me that in this administration, in
order to get things done, resort
simply has to be made to the use
of politics"
Murray acknowledged the letter
yesterday. He said Gardner sew
cred his connections with the asso-
citation.
Shortly after the letter had
been read, Nye formally declared
the investigation ended.

aren't true.
But they are true. They are
the bottom Of all truth. And
you'll never learn more about life,
or succeed in doing anything with
it unless and until you have mas
tered this first lesson.
You must learn to live alone.
That doesn't mean living in
isolation. Or without people. It
simply means facing and accept
ing the fact that you are Soli-
tary individual. THAT your only
real life is the life within your
self j.. that no one else can or
should be expected to live that
life for you.

sequences Of an empty mind. You

And nobody can bear these things

Nor, L repeat, should anyone be

when it comes right down to brass

responsibility. And unless you're
an infant or idiot, it's as much
up to you to provide your own
laughter, control your own tears
and take your own beatings as it
is to wash your own teeth.
UNPOPULAR THEORY
This, I realize, is an extremely

does it matter how good you've
been to your family or how faith
full to your boss. If you've treated
yourself like a worm, you'll be
treated like one in return.
You must learn to live. You

once you have the courage to

Death Dance Continues

The panic into which Congressional committees and
Government officials have been thrown during the last
week over the local airport situation would be amusing
if it did not hold so many PoTENTIALITIES OF
TRAGEDY
Everybody is rushing around shouting "The airport
must be saUed" and adding 81 lUiH sGUe it, forgetting
entirely that for the last years they have had all the
time and opportunity in the world to the National
Capital from disgraceful condition.
Into the airport pot that tenyear period have
gone numberless Congressional Investigations countless
real estate sale schemes myrads of stock selling propo
sitions.
Out of the pot has come nothing but stencil and the
threat of disaster.
If the nterdepartment quarrels and the personal viii
fcations of the last week can change the stew into
decent landing field with safe and adequate facilities
1t will be indication that of the cooks who have
been spelling the broth have departed from the kitchen
congressman are believing in approved parliamentary
language that "It lUOuld be national disgrace to
deprive the Capital City of the existing airport
and send the air mail to Baltimore"
Certainly that would be disgrace
BUT IT WOULD BE TENFOLD GREATER DIS
GRACE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE BIG PLANES
WITH DOZEN OR MORE PASSENGERS CRACK
UP AT THE PRESENT PORT BECAUSE CON
GREss COULDN'T MAKE UP ITS MIND IN TEN
YEARS.
Ten years is long time to court disaster.
Yet Congress has done just that listening at time
to this interested party to another with this piece of
property to SELL to another who had claim on some
other parcel.
Ten years ago when the airport problem became acute
the development of Gravely Point was suggested

three years to complete it.

Journeys
KENSINGTON

Most visitors to London are
familiar with the neighborhood of
Buckingham Palace, even if they
do not manage to get past the
sentries on duty outside the i'm
posing gates. .
But few there are that visit an
other palace which, while not so
popular or famous, is much more
accessible, for it has state apart
ments of great historic import
ance and interest and which may
be visited. We refer to KenSing-
ton Palace, the building that
stands so beautifully in KenSing.
ton Gardens, its red facade visible
in every direction.
Queen Victoria was born in Ken
Sington Palace where she passed
her girlhood under the watchful
eye of her mother, the Duchess of
Kent. At the palace, too, she was
informed of her accession to the
throne of England.
And so, KenSington Palace is a
shrine to the people of England,
although they, too, like so many
visitors, do not think Of visiting
it. It is a pity that this is so,
for it IS interesting and instruc-
tive to walk up the beautiful Wren
staircase through oak-paneled
rooms to the chambers in the
southwestern corner of the old
palace especially associated with
Victoria.
Queen Mary has been chiefly
instrumental in restoring the ap-
pointments and furnishings Of
this suite, and it is one Of her pet
hobbies for she has gathered to-
gether many personal objects
which belonged to Victoria or were
associteed with her reign.
An interesting part Of the
palace is that which contains the
famous "cupota room" constructed
flor George I.

Lincoln was deeply religious, as indicated
By these words:

buried my son. the severest trial of my life, was
not Christian. But when went to Gettysburg,
and saw the graves Of thousands Of our soldiers,
then and there consecrated myself to Christ"

and until every drop of blood drawn with the
lash shall be paid by another drawn with the

still it must be said, The judgments of the Lord
are true and righteous altogether
IF we have patience, if we restrain ourselves,
if we allow ourselves not to run off in passion,
I still have confidence that the Almighty, the
Maker of the universe, WILL through the instru-
mentality Of this great and intelligent people,
bring us through this as he has through all the
other difficulties of our country"
Lincoln sUGS a patriot, no modern, tineid
soul, seeking foreign approval. Did he fear
any foreign enemy? Read his Gnsa0er:
How, then, shall we perform it? At what
point shall we expect the approach Of danger?
Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant
to step the ocean and crush us at blow?
Never! AL the armies Of Europe, ASIA and
Africa combined, with all the treasure Of the
earth (our own excepted) in their military chest,
with Bonaparte for commander, could not, by
force, take drink from the Ohio or make
track on the Blue Ridge, in trial Of thousand

When decisions Of the court are
printed, the work is divided among
the printers so that none Of them
could know what the decision

In that description of his own Nations SUI

When he received word that he had been nomi-
mated, he did not strut, pose, look in the glass,
or remain to congratulate himself among men,
praising him. He said: "There is little woman
down at the house who will be glad to hear this
and I am going to tell her" True affection for

Every school child learns about Abraham Lin

frontier family very poor he split rails cut down
trees, worked on farm until he was % years
old; at 81, as he said he had somehow learned
to read, write and cipher to the rule of three"
That was all, he never went to school again. Let
that comfort parents unable to send son to col

Lincoln was "at school, studying men, making
himself acquainted with his country's history and
its problems.
Fortunately, for this Nation, Lincoln became
President of the United States in spite of early
handicaps, and he nobly discharged the duties
that came to him.
He preserved the Union and the Nation, pa
tiently carrying the heavy burden through the
long years of the war.
Defeat did not discourage him; and victory did
not disturb the calm balance of his mind He was
able to make allowances for ittlenesS, jealousies
in other men, including his generals. He praised
them for good work. gave them all the credit,
taking no credit to himself while he earned the
eternal gratitude of his fellow countrymen.
Lincoln finished his task, leaving the Nation
safe and united. Then he died, struck down by
an assassns bullet. The whole world hOnors his
noble character
