HAPPINESS AMBASSADORS OF GOOD MANKEES Col. Lindbergh went to two bull fights. That is his answer to the busybodies who tried to persuade him to insult a country and a people that have recognized him with, every hospitality and homage. It is an excellent ar.per just about the best possible, ami as such might be called typicalljr Lindbergh- j ian. For this young man is the eighth wonder of the world. His ex- j perience is, of course, without par allel. Never was another youth soj tested by the adultation of the crowd j and the deference of the mighty. lie has acquitted himself incomparably. He has never come within radio dis tance of a faux pas. If anywhere un der the shining sun there is an in dividual who needs neither a social nor a moral cicerone, Lindbergh is that man. It is fortunate, beyond compute, that that unique American eagle should have been endowed with such a wealth of talents. He has needed them all, and never, perhaps, was the need greater than the present instance. An occasion which ,it is hoped and believed, will prove a land mark in the relations between Mex ico and the United Stntes. might well have been distorted into a ran cid memory had Lindbergh been in fluenced by the miserable counsel of officious impertinence. Lindbergh has already been com missioned as the Ambassador of Good Will. We preseum" to confer another distinction Ambassador of Good Manners. :o:- Many of the current crop of con- gressman. old and new, have spent j much more time campaigning and waiting for their seats than they will now spend in said seats. ! :o: Our sole objection to the here scone is that hy the time tht young I hopeful is able to read it the tint when the stars could have any in , fluence on him long since has jtast-ed. J About that detective scandal in j Washington the detectives seem to think it's an awful state of affairs when sleuths can't go around snoop ing without other sleuth's snooping on their trail. " : o : Because a serial story in Japanese newspaper has been running for a mere dozen years, a Tokio dispatch terms it "endless." and seems to im ply that Americans have no acquain- tance with such Marathon feats of fiction. -:o:- ! Judging from the increasing num j ber of trade talks and other adver ' tising stunts via the radio it won't be long until more stringent regula tion in that respect will be r.eces ; sary if the radio is to retain it popu ; larity. :o: A striking illustration of how a newspaper unselfishly serves the pub l lie is furnished by the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which is now hav ing published at its own expense, five , full-pages advertisements in the ; Washington' Star and the Washing ton Post, dealing with the flood con l trol problem. Via ft 2T0EEI5 ON KEAEST Not even Mr. Hearst, with his ' twenty-six newspapers and numer ous monthlies, can lightly injure the good name of George W. Norris of', Nebraska, the doughtiest member of the United States Senate. j ' The reputation of the Nebraska! Senator, his sturdy character, his : non partisanship, and his straight-! forwardness, are in themselves a suf-, ficient answer to the forged Mexican t documents which Hearst first pub-' lished in his papers and is now try-j ing to defend before a senate in-j vestigating committee. What Hearst has dine no member of the Senate would think of doing. Most of those men have at times disagreed with j Senator Norris; some of them have clashed with him in bitter parlia mentary combat; but none ever as-' cribed to him a dishonorable motive j or weaken his cause by intimating i that Senator Norris not Hearst. j It took Hearst to do that, and he ' is already answering for it. The Sen- j ator has hurled at the publisher a 3500-word letter in which his judg ments are scathing. To Senator Nor ris the Heaist motive in- the matter of the Mexican documents, which al lege that $1,215,000 in bribes was paid by Mexico to Senators Borah. Norris, La Follette and Heflin for their friendly attitude toward her, was to involve the United States in war with that country. To Senator Norris it is quite plain from what has come out in the Senate investig ation that to have his way in a con-j troversy with Mexico over her new land laws the publisher would in volve the peoples of both countries In all the consequences of armed strife. This is hardly a lighter blow than the one aimed at Senator Norris by Hearst. It is not impossible that an individual with Hearst's immense publicity powers could involve the two countries in war. Few words have had such an impetus, nor is the motive imputed to him beyond the country's experience with Hearst. The simple fact that he would black en the names cf the four Senators with a story which he says he did not believe himself shows how jour nalism has been degraded in his h:nds. That he would not give these men an opportunity to defend them selves before he published charges that had come to him through the hands of men who represented them relves as thieves, but who probably were forgers, is outside the bounds and practices of journalism every where except in the Hearst offices. There is one point in the Norris letter which ought to convince any body. It is that Mexico does not have to bribe men like Borah and Norris to win their support. They belong to a group in the senate which do-f'S this sort of thing for nothing. It is their delight to help the under dog. The sympathy which every op pressed nation commands in their breasts is beyond price, nor could an undeserving Mexico buy it. The Mex icans would be fools to pay a mil lion and a quarter dollars for some thing they already have and have had from the time when Hearst him self was one of their friends. No more asinine story was ever told, as no more fantastic fiction was ever invented. If Hearst is not ashamed to have impugner the good names of these men, beside which to their type all else is trasn, ue should be ashamed that his profes sional judgment of what is credible is so bad as it is. St. Louis Post Dispatch. :o; If he answers the question with an emphatic, "No. I don't play bridge," It is certain that he has at least a small shred of authority in his own home, or he is not married. :o: At the international convention op hoboes recently held in Minneapolis, it was said that the word "hoboes" originally meant "workers" being de rived from "hoe" and "boys." :o: A professor has gone to Egypt to translate a medical manuscript of the seventeenth century before Christ. And suppose that should turn out to be only another lady talking about her operation. "Husbands Hampering Happiness of Homes Here by Harboring Haras sing Habis." says an illiterative headline writer in the Hattiesbug. American. Why not "Wild Wives Work Woe by Winning Willies?" :o: Scientific gentleman says we are rapidly returning to the primative condition of our ancestors. Maybe so, but Adam and Eve would still be just a trifle out of place at a costume party, : :o: Well, we are hoping and almost ! praying that Charley Lindbergh will I get back from Mexico City without j falling victim to one of those Span- ish senoritas With I-dare-you lips ' and come-hither eyes.
