It is otie of those things that thrill

the supreme soldier.

IN 25 YEAES
In a single-motor land plane, two
Spanish aviatens, Jiminez and Igles
ias, made a flight fremi Seville in
Spain tej Bahia in Brazil ever the
South Atlantic ocean. It took them
forty-three and a half hours to lly
tome 4100 miles, and to make the
seventh crossing of the South Atlan
tic by air. A brilliant feat and yet
two years of transcontinental avia
tion have dulled our sense of aston
ishment at its performnace. That we
should regard this crossing with
comparative complacence shows how
far aviation has come in a quarter
of a century since Wilbur and Or
ville Wright held their fantastic ex
periments at Kitty Hawk, N. J.
Myron T. Herrick was almost CO
before he really found himself. He-
was, et course, a citizen ot ceus.e-
quenee when President Taft, in 1911',
appointed him Ambassador to France-.
He was a "caret1 r man" in what we
like to regard as the characteristic
sclmol ef American suece-rs. Born e.n
a tarm he had taught school in ms
youth, studied law, moved to Cleve
land, won the favorable opinion of
that citv's financiers, quit the law
for banking, accumulated a fortune,
got into politics under the pre-ceptor-ship
of Mark Hanna, was ele-i-ted
Governor of Ohio, was defeate-d as a
candidate to succeed himself, and his
public life had presumably tnded.
He was comparatively unknown,
in a natiemal sense, when Mr. Taft
belatedly honored Lim with an ap
pointment te a post which, in the
nature of things political, would be
briefly held. Mr. Wilson assumed
the presidency on March 4, 191", and
while Mr. Bryan, as Secretary cf
State, was finding minor places in the
diplomatic service for "deserving
Democrats," Mr. Herrick continued
in Paris pending the selection of a
qualified successor. He was there in
that fateful summer of 1914, when,
as he said later in a speech in St.
Louis, "It seemed as if God had for
gotten the world." His decision to
remain in Paris when the diplomatic
corps as a whole- was leaving the ap
pal ently doomed city captured the
imagination of France, and Mr. Her
rick of Ohio, awoke to find himself
Herrick of the United States.
He has never lost that stature.
With the return of the Rpublican
party to power in 1921 he resumed
his ambassadorship, by appointment
of Mr. Harding, with the unquali
fied approval of American public
opinion, while French sentiment wel
comed him home with acclaim and
fervor.
How competently he stepped into
the dramatic occasion of Lindbergh's
happiest of happy landings at Le
Bourget, his heispitality to, and par
ental guidance of the "wonderful
boy," who unlike Wordsworth's
Ohatterton, did not "perish in his
youth," is among the cherished
memories of that deathless legend.
Diplomacy, thank heaven, is no
longer the dark profession of showy
elegance, in which master practition
ers of duplicity Juggle with the des
tiny and very lives of peoples. The
diplomat? must, as ever, be an ur
bane, polished and astute gentleman,
supplanted the talent for intrigue.
Ceitainly Mr. Herrick won his place
in history as a eliplomat, and his
success in that profession is meas
ured,, we believe, by the esteem and
affection of the nation to which he
was accredited. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

TEACT0E FOE SALE
The first Amreican railroad to add
the airplane to its passenger equip
ment, the Missouri Pacific, is launch
ed upon a development, the end of
which we can no more than foresee at
this time than the development of
railroad transportation could have-1!
been foreseen when George Stephen
son was operating the Rocket be
tween Manchester and Liverpool.
Other American railroads, to be
sure, are connecting with privately
owned air lines; but the design of
the Missouri Pacific is to make air
service to the Southwest its own. It
is not toej much to assume that the
time is not far distant when one
may fly in a Missouri Pacific plane
part of the way from St. Louis to
the City of Mexico. Aviation in
America is young. There is nothing
here comparable to the Luft-Hanse or
any of the other great airlines of
Europe. It is supposed that this is
so because of the magnificent dis
tances in America.
What the Missouri Pacific has in
mind immediately, of course, is re
ducing by plane the tedium of travel
between remote parts of the Seiuth-
west and the big Northeastern cities.
Texas, for example, is for the most
part about as far from St. Louis in
time as is New York. Planes cemld
reduce the time between San An
tonio or Hosuotn and St. Louis by
from 1-3 to 1-2. This would
bring most Texas points within ap
proximately 3G er 40 hemrs of New-
York as against the present approxi
mate e.f 4S to f4.
The night-and-day alternating
modes of travel, that is, taking planes
by day and trains by night, assumes
much greater possibilities over
greater distances such as those en
the Missouri Pacific system than it
does in the aEstern United States.

GOVEENTNG OKLAHOMA
Oklahoma has ousted its second
Governor in six years, and people in
adjacent states must be begin ing to
wemder just what there is about the
atmosphere of Oklahoma's state cap
ited building that makes it hard for
a Governor te stay in it.
Johnson fedlows Walton into re
tirement, after an impeachment trial
that was, tt say the least, hardly
edifying. One cannot help thinking
that if the Oklahoma voters were to
demand a little metre plain speaking
during the campaign they could dis
cover the character and qualifications
of a candidate earlier and save them
selves considerable trouble.
However, there is this to remem
ber; edher states than Oklahoma have
had highly incompetent Governors,
and have put up with them. Okla
homa at least does not hesitate in
getting rid of hers when she finds
them out.

That all American business men

That all American clergymen carry

That all American girls chew gum

That on all American telephones
you can get the right number the
first time.
That all American policemen are
burly and beefy and crooked.
That all American newspaper re
porters wear straw hats perched on
the back of their heads.
That every American household

That every American boy wears a

ME. HYDE AND TEE FAEM
We would not for the world dis
parage the career of Mr. Hyde as sec
retary of Agriculture. He is a com
paratively young man, and for all we
know he may become in time the
peer of Dean Mumford of the Mis
souri Agricultural College.
But he is hardly that now. Nor is
he, as the New York Herald-Tribune
says, "a real farmer." The Herald
Tribune seems to think a real farmer
is one who supported Lowden for
the presidential nomination and
wanted the McNary-Haugen bill to
become a law. All we can say about
that is that neither qualification is
part of the curriculum where Dean
Mumford presides.
