The American people stead ily have been impressed with the sig nificance and importance of this -oc casion, and never in the history of the republic was its observance of more importance than in this year of grace. We Increasingly have grown as a people to have a better understanding I of the purposes of the navy, what It means, or should mean, to the Nation At last Albert B. Fall has reaped the full harvest of disgrace and pun ishment which he sowed by his crim inal actions. He has been found guilty of receiving a $100,000 bribe from Edward L. Doheny, oil magnate, while sitting in the President's Cab inet as Secretary of the Interior, as a consideration for the lease of Gov ernment oil lands. For once an oil case Jury refused to be swayed by sentiment. Neither the melodramatic four-and-a-half-hour appeal by Fall's Albert B. Fall has been convicted. :o: Kraut and spare-ribs are in order Yum! Yum! :o: Senator Norris is right to the front in Washington. :o: L-t no guilty man escape!" But many of them do. -:o: Is thp tariff bill to be thrown over board? It looks it. . :o: Don't nuarrel with the cook until after you have dined. :o: Don't be too sure you are right, bi-fore you make a -mistake. :o: One may as well take it easy, next yar all the politics you want. :o: Home training and home rule are the factors of national safety. , :o: Now is the time the wiseheads make th ir Christmas selections. :o: If you are easily bored don't get into the habit of talking to yourself. :o: It Is a little early for politics, but the election next year will be a hot one. -:o: McKelvie is Hoover's candidate to beat Norris, and he may do it, no telling. :o: Some people who are virtuous, and yet unable to get rich, feel that they are doubly cheated. :o: Anybody with a good voice has a chance to be a radio announcer. Oth ers can sing or speak over the air. :o: California s suicide rate is IS per cent above the national average, Florida will have to go some to rival that. :o: Some Senators want to make it a crime to buy whisky. Yes, and why not make it punishable by death to borrow it from friends. :o: A Chicago woman says her hus band pave her a dime a day to run the house. She didn't tell how much she saved out of it, however. :o: : Is politics worth while? That is a question often asked. It is for each persons to make his own answer, af ter considering all of the facts. Often a fly buzz- Don't get too gay. ing around. :o: Trade at home and you know what you are buying. :o: Doheny homes next. If they dare to prosecute him. :o: Diligence wins even when to misguided purpose. :o: Thanksgiving not far off, and the price of turkeys advancing. :o: Aotning succeeds so well as suc cess. It Is like a trump card. :o: v Human nature is a good guide. More followers would be better. :o: We can not do without our politics. but they can be made respectable. :o: Don't think that a man takes every fool's advice because he ask3 yours. :o: Our merchants have Btocked up with a view of a big fall and winter trade. :o: The massacres in Palestine of Jew ish settlers arousing the indignation of civilization. :o: Money is what talks in these-election days and there are republicans in Nebraska that want Senator Nor ris defeated, but not by McKelvie. :o: Rodney Dutcher reports that one of the chief results of the Shearer naval investigation is a greatly in creased sentiment of Congress for having the government build all of its warships in its own naval yards. Our merchants are already getting ready for Christmas only two months in the distance. :o: A fortune awaits the genius who can succeed in crossing the homing pigeon with the umbrella. :o: The greatest height above sea level is not so great as the greatest depth that has been probed below it. :o: Never mind if business does grow a little dull during the summer. Just see how the nation is improving its golf stroke. :o: A- research institution for promo tion of aviation is to be founded at Akron, Ohio. Lighter than air craft will be specially considered. :o: An automobile manufacturer says touring will be done at 100 miles an hour in ten years. Drivers apparently are going to slow down a little. :o: George Bernard Shaw tells that he is going Just the opposite way to that he was brought up as to social customs. This is indeed thrilling. :o: Now Increasing evidence comes that the senate raid on financial rack eteers is to be thorough. But the po litical racketeers will be undisturb ed. :o: Now Germany is in the midst of stormy politics, the nationalists mak ing a sharp campaign to upset the war treaties. They will likely lose out. -the maintenance of an adequate smooth counsel, Frank J. Hogan. nor the atmosphere of invalidism sur rounding the defendant, was permit ted to weigh in the balance against the grim, gray facts of Fall's crim inality. Five years have elapsed since the Fall-Doheny-Sinclalr scandals were exposed and, though the processes of Justice have been exasperately slow, the outcome has been an impressive victory for honesty In public office. Doheny alone of the three main con spirators has escaped the ignominy of a criminal conviction. Sinclair is in a jail cell. And now the man through whom they corrupted the Govern ment, the one denounced by the Unit ed States Supreme Court as "a faith less public officer," is branded a felon. Finally, the valuable Teapot Dome and Elk Hills oil reserves, il legally leased by Fall, have been re covered by the Government. It becomes appropriate, now that the worst Government scandal since the Credit Mobilier affair in Grant's administration has been cleared up, to bestow a wreath on the tomb of Robert M. La Follette. It was that modern Rienzi who tore the veil from the oil Bcandals and revealed their putridity to a nation loath to believe what they saw. He was forced to work against the most powerful and persistent opposition that ever confronted an investigator, and he accomplished his task despite a pub lic apathy that must have crushed any man who lacked La Follette's great fighting heart. Too much cannot be Eaid for the public service rendered by Senator Walsh of Montana, who pieced to gether La Follette's case, or for Messrs. Roberts and Pomerene, spec ial counsel for the Government, who have labored so ably and so success fully to bring the oil culprits to Jus tice. :o: naval strength The recent conversations between the President and England's Prime Minister give to this celebration this year an added significance and im portance for the consideration of the people. The American public heartily Is in favor of the principle of limit ing navies by international agree ment in accordance with fixed ratios which do not leave the United States subordinate to, or weaker than, other countries on the seas. This, since the Washington Conference, has been the policy of this Government. We are willing to stand by the 5-5-3 ratio fixed by that conference; we are will ing to abide by the policy expressed in that conference in the following language: We approve limitation of arma ments by international agreements. We repudiate the reduction of arma ments by example as unwise and dangerous." Perhaps the President and Mr. MacDonald did not give to this state ment of policy its fullest weight and significance. But the American peo ple understand it and adhere to it; and it is one of the purposes of Navy Day to emphasize this thought and consideration. In the schools and in the churches, if possible. It is desired that the real interests of the American Navy shall be explained, extolled and extended by a teaching that shall reach every American heart, a teaching which shall proclaim of our navy that it shall be second to none, the equal of the strongest on the face of the earth. to the end that the national defense shall be made secure. :o: THE AGE OF LIBERALISM Vat pn pad and prica roar fun.

The New York World commented. in a melancholy vein, on the British Labor Government's refusal to grant asylum to Leon Trotzky, who seems to be persona non grata everywhere. It was not a criticism, in the usual acceptance of that term, but gen uine regret that a great British trad ition has disappeared a tradition which had inspired admiration for England tmong liberals the world over. It was an epitapn on UDerai ism, not on British liberalism alcne. but on that fine quality of humanity which had distinguished England. The world said, on effect, that the age of liberalism is dying, and frank ly grieved therefore. A London paper, the Star, takes the world to task .and, in what seems to us a peculiarly unhappy tu quoque spirit, asks if the United States would admit the Russian exile. Let us plead guilty. We have seen our Govern ment close its doors against Karolyi, and we remember that, in a braver day, we welcomed and acclaimed that other Hungarian, Kossuth. Radicalism Is storming up the world, young, assertive, growing. Conservation is here, powerful, com manding, winning and losing alter nately in the parlous field of politics. But the liberal and his creed are van ishing, under all the flags and some thing splendid is passing. :o: NO RIGHT TO KICK WHISTUN' Colonel Lindbergh's fame and re putation have been enhanced through his recent association with major archaelogical endeavor. He has in the very recent past enabled scince to look the hidden remains of a past civilization the Mayan. Deep in the Central American jungles lie the ruins of remarkable cities and temples of this ancient race, and these jungles have been ac counted to be the most impenetrable on earth. But already notable finds have been made; that there are oth ers is a foregone conclusion. These, located from the air, may now be ap proached and examined by the arch aelogist who will thus be compelled to cut a pathway to them. From the air may be discovered any ruin of importance. The rest be comes comparatively easy. We may look forward to invaluable revela ploratione to the uncovering of cities and temples of a mysterious people who in dim ages maintained a civilization of exceptional magni tude and Importance, whose relics now remain buried in the dense Jun gle growth of the Central American land. :o: . . .
