has designated the old varship
as his flagship whenever he Is
in port, which is a good part Of
the time. Of course. amid her
historic and picturesque gear of
the sea. the admiral will have
his headquarters.
The Constellation is 4 sister,
ship Of the more famous Con-
stitution and was launched in
11ss-just in time to participate
in war with the French off the
West Indies.
Her next action was during
the warfare on the pirates of
Tripoh In the Mediterranean.
and shortly sfterward the wpr
Of 1912. Then from 1928 until
1914 she cruised the Caribbean
chasing pirates. after which she
patrolled IN European and Afri-
can waters. During our Civil
War she remained off Europe
hunting Confederate raiders and
generally protecting the Union
shipping
After the Civil War the Con
stellatiOn commenced her years
of decline as a permanent fixture
at the navy yards of Norfolk
and Philadelphia and rs a gun
merry ship at the Washington
yards.
Near the end of the last cen
fury she was decommissioned.
Last year. after an enforced Idle
ness OF almost a half-century,
she was again commissioned
with the American fleet; Lieut..
John Davis (retired) is her COM
handing officer.
II seems somehow appropriate
that the gallant old frigate is
now to be put 10 some real use
that will not in any way at sill
threaten her infinite worth as a
great naval relic.

No Zeppelins Today

The Civil Aeronatucs board has dismissed applica-
ton by German company for authority to Zeppelin
air service between Frankfort and New Jersey Florida
1t seems that Germany has gotten involved in some
other matters since 1888 and has but little time for
Zeppelin lines "For lack Of prosecution the application
has at last been dismissed

penses. Trade will be so brisk
that few men in shops and Off

National Issues: Tolerance

prejudice will be conspicuous as
incoming tides OF the World war
arouse fear and resentment. The
seers stress the fact tina; oppor-

Persons whose birthdate il is

Children born on this DAY

Intolerance Challenged

-
CHARLES A. LINDBERGHs Incorporate and inoierant
- address in Des Mones in which racial and religious
prejudices were ncited-specfcay against the Jewish

The Hearst newspapers, throughout all the years OF
their publication have failed TO challenge lnoler-

Above all else the principle of religious freedom and
respect be preserved in America, If what we love
MOST about America is TO endure.
\ OTHING is so deeply and completely fundamental to
~ the happy free and enlightened way of life that has
always been characteristic of America than the principle
that the issues of and creed not to be raised
among people to the disadvantage and dsparagement
of any of them.
Whoever does violence to that principle does dis
service to the nation.
Among the hosts of American leaders and statesmen
who in all the years of national history have had
and DESERVED TO have the confidence and respect OF
the people almost none has abandoned the wholesome
and decent American concept of racial and religious
equality.
But not equality" encompasses the whole
scope of the relationships and standards adhered to by
the American people in this respect.
LORE than being merely equal in the holding Of their
wi separate faiths the American people have always
considered it to be an additional and higher right and
duty that sympathy, understanding and compassion
should extend beyond the limits of mans faith to
embrace and enrich his brother of another faith.
Thus country has been something infinitely
better than merely tolerant land
1t has been land in which the broad virtues Of
humanity have been the foundations of harmony unity
and the comprehensive blending of the fine things which
in all
This is the fine and vital thing against which Colonel
Lndbergh has raised the threat of suny and disruption

support with and conviction, and which the
best and honored of Americans have supported with
answering fidelity.

He most fortunately represents no other American

He most certainly represents organization worthy

No voice influence must lead the American
people astray from the principles that have brought them
thus far and far along the paths of justice and freedom
And of all principles, none is more AMERICAN
than that which brings of all faiths within The
kindly scope Of American brotherhood.
Protest must indeed rise vigorously and uncompro
msingly against this indgny against the morals and
