 While the election of Edward P. Egan as senator in the 18th district has been concerned from the very start by anyone familiar with lo- cal politics, there is definite evidence during the last week that he will receive practically the unanimous Democratic vote in his election. For a while after his nomination there was a small group who tried to stir up some party friction, not because of any feeling towrad Mir. Egan, who apparently lacks any political enemies, but because of their own disappointment.
 But good sportsmarship and party loyalty have prevailed with the majority who realize what 3 disloyal act any other course would be. So the 16th is on the Egan band- wagon with the characteristic loy- alty to the party which has held 1t for 50 or more years.

 In 20 years, the population of nearly every country in the world has increased by millions. What to do with surplus population is the acute problem of every government. The United States alone has 130,- 100000 people to contrast to the wartime 100,O00,000.
 But while population has been increasing, the world itself has been shrunk by mans inventive genius.

 Everywhere the haunting fear of insecurity sends men swarming after strange causes, economic and political. Children born since 1918 have never known, may never know, the independence of Americans who used to say "Shucks! I can get a job arlywhere!"
 Force has become the prime cri- terion, and might makes right in international affairs. In personal affairs, the idea that the end justi- f1es the means is more and more generally accepted.

 Istona, a powerful swimmer, was drowned when his rubber boots filled with water, pulling him un- der the surface. IstOna, together with Robert Danaher, of Morris, was in a rowboat, and the two men were pulling a stump with . rope. As the stump gave way, the boat capsized, and the men were thrown into the water.
 Danaher managed to get to shore and pull off his boots, then rushed to Istona's aid. The latter, however, had gone down as his boots filled with water.

 The war left spiritual scarg l1ns healed long after the physical wounds had knit. A great moral Ietdown swept across the world. Tt5 the United States 1t became appar- ent in the scandals of the Harding administration. It was seen in IC years of prohibition and the violent corruption and cynical law avoid. ance. The racket era sprung from this root. It was seen in the KH Klux Klan's bid for a secret, ua- official, terroristic government. Il lowered in the lax financial rlOr- als of the boom era. And its fruit was harvested in the increasingly bitter class conflicts that came with the depression.
 The day before Woodrow Wilson was to go before Congress in 1917 and ask that it declare a state oi war with Germany, he talked long and earnestly with Frank Cobb, ed itorial writer for the New York World
 In the agony of his decision Wilson said these words, reported later by Cobb:
 "Once lead this people into wal and they'll forget there ever wal such thing as tolerance. To fight you must be brutal and ruthless and the spirit of ruthless brutality will enter into the very fiber of our national life, infecting Congress, the courts, the policeman on the beat the man in the street." The thing Wilson foresaw even as he made his decision for wal has happened, not only to his owp country, but to the world.

Navy Chief Advises Not Fool With
 Dirigibles

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, -Ad- miral Leahy said that the Unit ed States could "very profitab- ly" engage in the development of dirigibles, but advocated leaving suh experimentation to commer cial agencies at present.
 He told the House of Repre- sentatives Naval Committee that the U. S. Navy should disregard llghte rthan air craft at this time because no other navy is devel- oping them, and other types of equipment are more urgently needed.
 In a reviewal of the long standing congressional controver- sy of airplane versus battleship, by representative from Massa- chusetts, Admiral Leahy made the declaration that the battle ship ''was the bulwark of defen- SC and offense".
 However, he conceded it was possible to sink a batuleship if bombs and torpedos Init often enough in the right place.. The Admiral said further, that the "battleship was less vulnerable to air attack, than attacks from any other types of surface craft.
