f AN EMPTY-HEADED "HERO'
It is hard to work up any great
amount of admiration for the lad
who stowed himself away on the
trans-Atlantic airplane Yellow Bird.
To be sure, he had plenty of nerve.
But he didn't seem to have the
brains to balance it; and when too
much courage goes hand in hand
with a scarcity of common sense, the
i result is apt to be rather distressing.
By climbing into a plane already
loaded to the very limit of safety,
this empty-headed youngster put the
lives of three Brave men in extreme
danger. The added weight that his
presence gave the plane prevented
the Frenchmen from reaching Paris,
as they had planned; it might well
have brought them down in the mid
dle of the ocean.
Here's hoping that no one will
try to make a fuss over this youth,
so that he will get the idea that he
is a hero. A good old-fashioned ses
sion in the woodshed with an irrate
parent is about what his case seems
to call for.

A MELODIOUS WORD FROM MAINE
Senator Gould of Maine has writ
ten a letter to the Fresno Vineyards
Co. of St. Louis which we regard as
" a gem of purest ray serene." A
good many pietty speeches have been
made about the grape. Long after
the turmoil of Judea had subsided
Pontius, Pilate's old friend, speak
ing of the Syrian woman, confessed
"it was as hard to learn to do with
out her as to forget the taste of
Greek wine." Can anyone who strug
gled with the odes of Horace forget
the Falernian at that "one dear Sa
bine farm?" Prosper Merimee, in
his futule wooing of her who must
ever remain "Unknown," though
their supreme delight would be
found on a purple evening in an
"Aegean cup." Ingersoll served in
tangible Burgundy to those dinner
guests in a cloissone of rapturous
metaphor. But none of these had wit
nessed the miracle of transmutation,
as did Senator Gould of Maine. This
man saw dress turn to gold. He saw
tasteless insipidity achieve the sa
cred fire. He saw pale kegs of legal
ity become as "the casks of Amon
tillado." He was charmed, delight
ed and enthralled, and he has naive
ly related his joy in his letter. Lar
cenous hands, to be sure, had filched
much of the treasure, but he bore
his loss like a soldier and a Senator,
in discreet and stony silence, and he
comforted himself in the knowledge
' that "there were three gallons in
each keg, which is improving every
month."
The prudence of the pragmatist is
encountered in this letter. The Sen
ator disgresses to observe that Maine
is "a prohibition State," and that "it
is not policy to be outspoken in my
sentiments." yet he records his con
viction that "a license for light wines
and beer would be an improvement
over the present prohibition law."
But we are not concerned wth the
vexations and verbotens of things in
appraising this human document.
Here is a testimonial of a traveler
who has discovered milk and honey
in the desert, balm in a blighted
Gilead, "the shadow of a great rock
in a weary land."
It seems to us that Senator Gould
of Maine is as a voice of gladness in
a continental dirge. His letter is a
gay cockade amid the encircling
gloom. It's an immortelle. St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
:o:
MORE PROFITS IN THE PAIL
There is a world of significance
in the fact that, although the num
ber of dairy cows in the United
States increased by only one hundred
and sixty thousand during the years
,1921-1928, the production of milk
within that period increased by thir
ty billion pounds. Had conditions
governing output continued as they
were in 1920, this gain would have
required, according to dairy experts,
more than six million additional
average cows. That it was achieved
with so slight an increment in the
total size of the herds, bears witness
to the power of feeding and hand
ling. It appears, moreover, that the cows
producing nine thousand pounds of
milk annually, which is nearly twice
the average, consumed only forty per
cent of the food. Thus a net profit
of some sixty per cent was realized
from the application of a more effi
cient technique. It has often been
remarked that if principles and prac
tice akin to those which have made
modern industry could be developed
in agriculture, there would be no
further need of farm relief. The re
cent record of American dairying, it
seems to us, encourages the hope that
this is indeed possible certainly
possible in some agriculture pur
suits. :o:
HOOVER AND SUGAR PROTECTION
An officer of the United States
Beet Sugar Association has told the
Senate Finance Committee that
President Hoover was "much inter
ested In protection for domestic sugar
industry." Granted. But there are
two domestic sugar industries pro-.
duction and consumption and for
every domestic sugar producer there
are thousand of domestic consumers.
It is a fair inference that Mr. Hoo
ver is interested in the consumer as
well as in the producer of sugar. If
he isn't it will be unfortunate for
the people and eventually unfortun
ate for Mr. Hoover.
:o:
A MAIN STREET PLOWMAN
Tourists on their way to Glacier
Park will slow down when they get
to Hyshara, Montana. The Mayor of
that town has plowed furrows the
whole length of main street. And if
that doesn't "stop 'em," he promises
"bigger and better furrows."
The Mayor has put Hysham on the
front page, and if the people keep
in office long enough he will prob
ably take Hysham off the map.
WHEN AND HOW
Advertising isn't meant to be sea
sonable from the standpoint of pay
ing only in this or that season.
Timely advertising the year 'round
guilds a sustaining confidence that
is not shaken, builds a trade that
does not falter. There may be such
an event; there will, however, be a
constant and steady trade built by
advertising that cannot be built
through, any other method.
But advertising will not continue
in a musty store where goods are
displayed unattractively.
It will not hold trade at a store
where clerks are not polite and con
siderate.
It will not hold customers where
service is not reasonably prompt.
Merchandising has undergone a
.gTeat change in recent years. The
public today is educated to service
and quality. They are hackneyed
terms, ' but the business man who
ignorth them presently win learn his
mistake.
"Service" means promptness and
politeness.
"Quality" means goods that are
worth every penny of the price
and often more.
Competition is keen, but the man
who keeps his eyes open, to new
ideas, and puts these ideas into prac
tice which includes judicious ad
vertising is bound to get his share
of business.
-:o:-
DEP0RTTNG THE CRIMINALS
It is said that congress may be
urged to enact legislation by which
any alien may be deported if found
guilty of carrying concealed weap
ons. Tnis is an rignt as iar as 11
goes, but we believe such an amend
ment to the immigration law could
be made more rigorous.
It would put more teeth in our
laws to enforce obedience to them if
the United States were to deport
every alien convictea or, say, two
charges of felony. If the law of
Michigan can send a person to priaon
for life if convicted four times of
violating the Volstead act, then cer
tainly deportation as above outlined
would not be a very harsh punish
ment. Of course it could be made for
simply one offense, that is something
to discuss.
But as against agitation of this
nature we are confronted with an
even greater crisis in adequate pun
ishment for men who are American
citizens. What are we going to do
with them if caught carrying con
cealed weapons? And going further
back than that, what about the pen
alty for the selling of weapons to
about anybody that wants to buy
one?
-:o:-
BLLKING THE FARMERS
President Hoover has offered a
place on the Federal Farm Relief
Board to Alexander Legge, president
of the International Harvester Com
pany. Vaturnllv Vie wrmld
The Republican program of farmlday f bearing
vol of Vnfrcr ntViincr mnro t Vi n n a 4
flimsy hypocrisy, it is fitting that the
head of the Harvester trust, the or
ganization that gouges fancy prices
from farmers for all kinds of ma
chinery, should be one of the domin
ant factors in the main plan of the
organization.
It is next in order for Mr. Hoover
to offer membership on the Farm Re
lief Board to the president of the
New York Stock Exchange and the
Chicago Board of Trade.
And, if it is possible to do so and
conform with the letter of the law
even if the spirit of the statute is
ignored, a place should be offered by
our British-minded chief executive
to the president of the Liverpool Cot
ton Exchange.
Get 'em coming and going, Mr.
Hoover. The faithful must be re
warded for their fat contributions to
your campaign fund.
Now a lot of supposed Republican
Senators may think President Hoover
may turn his cheek. Not exactly,
but he is not revengeful.
