A YACHT'S RECORD VOYAGE
The ftat of the sixteen-ton Amer
ican schooner yacht Nicanor, which
has just made passage from Boston to
Falmouth, England, in twenty days
and seven hours, a new rtcord for a
craft of her size, is but one of several
recent developments which bear wit
ness that notwithstanding- man's in
creasing reliance on modern inven
tions he has by no means lost his
skill in the primative arts and crafts.
Our uso' of machinery and intricate
apparatus has not made us effete;
while we depend on steamships and
are looking to airplanes for quick
trans-Atlantic passage we are not
helpless without them. W still know
how to sail ships skillfully and are
even beating our ancestors at their
own game by sending a yacht across
the ocean in faster time than they
ever sailed a ship equally small. If
there were need of it we probably
would be able to break the record
fur the trans-Atlantic passage by
great sailing vessels like the clipper
Dreadnaught which in 1S69 made
the crossing in twelve days. The
Dreadnaught was a craft of 1,443
gross tons.
There is no incentive to establish
new sailing records except the sport
of it and the satisfaction that is to
be found in thus proving that the
human race has not been rendered
incapable by the advance civilization
of making good use of the kind of
craft utilized by our forefathers in
traveling ov r the sea. Hence there
i ; scant likelihood that any attempt
will be made to surpass tlje Dread
naught's feet. But the Nicanor's ac
complishments suggest that we might
be able to do so if we were so dis
posed. There is cause for pride in the
LJ j reflection that we are not only able
njjto do things better than our ances-
! tors because of having available
I riKiilern inventions but also Can ex-
Jlcel by employing their own methods.
LOWKAN'S TEMPERANCE SPEECH
Assistant Secretary Lowman, suc
cessor of Gen. Andrews as head of
prohibition enforcement, spoke pub
licly in Philadelphia the other day
for the first time since assuming the
office. He spoke with restraint and
discretion. He gave it as his judg
ment that prohibition has aceom-
plished some good, but frankly ack
nowledged that there is "a wide dif
ference of opinion as to the success
or failure of this great venture in
government policy." He was no less
candid in asserting that the only sure
foundation for temperance lies in
education and the personal conviction
of the individual.
i Such a statement is in refreshing
contrast to the rhapsodizing of Maj.
Roy Haynes, to the stern, accusing
belligerency of Mr. Wayne Wheeler,
and to the pietistic smugness of
many other spokesmen. It is also
preferable to the swaggering, mili
tary cocksureness of his immediate
predecessor's earliest communiques.
; Certainly Mr. Lowman is temper
ate in speech. That in itself is an
admirable virtue. As an official pol
icy it is likely, we think, to help the
cause of prohibition; it surely won't
hurt it.

j An English woman is building a

ASTO FILIPINOS INDEPENDENCE
The Manila Chamber of Commerce
has been interested in the Institute
of Pacific Relations in the matter of
Philippine independence, and has
cabled that body asking that they
pass a resolution asking congress to
provide a constitutional amendment
giving independence to the people of
the Philippines. Just what this has
to do with the islands and the Unit
ed States is not stated, for no Pacific
relation are involved, but Filipinos
have the idea that this Honolulu con
ference by its affirmative course
might influence our congress to get
busy and set the islands free. How
ever, there are two propositions con
nected therewith. One is that con
gress can only propose a constitution
al amendment; the other is that
three-fourths of the states must
ratify such an amendment. There is
also another, in that generally speak
ing the people of this country have
not taken any particular interest one
way or the other, unless it be that
they are perfectly willing to grant
Philippine independence just as soon
as the islanders show they are fit to
set as an independent nation.
But no addition to our constitution
is necessary for any such purpose.
Congress has it within its power to
grant this independence at the drop
of the hat, provided a sufficient num
ber vote for it, and congress is not
yet convince the islands bhould set
up for themselves, for but very little
evidence has been visible that our
country should turn them lose. Some
of the official actions of the island
legislature have shown this, for the
record does not set in that way.
There is no question but that both
the people and congress would be
glad to get rid of the islands, but
this independence would be a sorry
gift, for the exploiters, who are of
their own numbers, would take
speedy control and misgovernment
would invite chaos, with likely seiz
ure by Japan. But if not that, our
government would in the interests of
a common humanity, be forced to in
tervene and restore order. However,
this would not be to our liking, for
if we once get out, we shall want to
stay out for good. There will be no
desire to return.
It is all up to the Phlippine people
themselves. By their actions will de
pend our course.
:o:
WHO SHALL CONTROL RADIO?
At the next Congress a reopening
of the fight to vest the control of ra
dio in an independent commission
rather than in the Department of
Commerce appears to be a certainty
The present law represents a com
promise between the advocates of
commission and department control
It vests the Radio Commission with
full power to regulate broadcasting
for one year, after which this author
ity will pass to the Secretary of Com
merce. The commission will continue
in existence thereafter, but it will
n.eet only from time to time to con
sidr the appeals of broadcasters from
the decision of the Department of
Co nmerce.
The Radio Commission has render
ed excellent service in taking the
chaos out of broadcasting. It now
has Mttle more to do than watch the
results of its work for the rest of
its term nd make minor revisions
Most of its duties will be of a routine
character, and tr.ero is no reason for
extending its regulative powers for
an indefinite period. It will still ex
ist as an appellate board, and that is
all that is needed.
The moveinert to perpetuate the
commission as a legulative body has
developed ai.-.oi'j? certain senators
who dislike the control of radio by
the Dopartmeu of Commerce because
they are intensely jealous of Sec
retarj- Hoover They fear that his
control of radic will enhance his po
litical prestige. Senator Watson, the
chief advocate of control by a per
nunent commission, cherishes presi
dential ambitions himself, and it is
a bit significant that he seeks to take
away from Mr. Hoover his Jurisdic
tion riot only evei radio but also
also over avietiu.
:o:
Senator Curtis is a right cautious
sort of fellow. When asked to com
ment on the president's 'choice" not
to be a candidate for the White house
job in 1928, he said he wouldn't con
sider saying a word until he had read
the entire presidential announce
ment. This, we think, he could do
easily at one sitting. The reading of
it, senator, is not so hard, but in
terpretation thereof Is rough on rats.
:o:
Senator LaFollette is credited with
saying that the next congress would
be full of investigations. But how
about one to investigate the right of
members to wear the party titles of
those who do not belong to them?
Sept lightly writes.
:o:
It seems to take a good deal of
type, either to get the Stillmans mar
ried or to keep them that way.
