Australian aviatrix, made an airplane flight from Ix)s Angeles to New York in 21 hours and 47 minutes. She should have made it in much less time, but probably stopped at several cities en route to match some dress goods samples. :o: Another of the old prejudices or superstitions concerning disease and its cure stands repudiated in the pub lic health service bulletin announc ing the scientific conclusion that it is nearly always unnecessary for a sufferer to go far from home for a cure for tuberculosis. -:o: LABOR'S STAND IN 3RITAIN It is most gratifying to hear a pub lic officer unequivocably declare his opinion. Whether some of us agree with him or not, all are bound to re spect him for his sincerity and fear lessness. Great Britain is fortunate, indeed, in having such a man in Philip Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer. Mr. Snowden in an address to a non-partisan free trade group at Manchester explained with striking positiveness his personal and official views on the subject of free trade. He vehemently denounced the protec tive tariff and said that "no govern ment, while I am in charge of na tional finances, will give serious con sideration to such a proposal." Now, this was an extraordinary assertion. By it Mr. Snowden com mitted the Laborite government. Sub stantially, he gave warning that the Laborite government, if it did take up the subject, would have to get an other chancellor. An officer could scarcely be more clear or direct. There can be no misunderstanding as to Mr. Snowden or his opinions. Every government needs unselfish, plain-spoken officials. Too many statesmen have been compromising with small political indications, and sacrificing honest conviction in order to please certain voters or intersts. Whether you believe in a protective tariff or free trade, you cannot fail to admire Mr. Snowden. :o: CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE Sometimes it does seem as if peo ple never will learn. The old "didn't know it was loaded" business has taken many a human life, but it v.. uld be supposed that by this time every one in a nation where there are so many firearms would know better than to fall victim to it. Many do not. The old army rule still holds good: Never point a gun, loaded or unload ed, at any one never, unless you in tend to kill. But the news of the day of almost every day shows how little the rule is observed. "The gun that isn't loaded is always the one that goes off" approaches the axiomatic. The gunning season is here, with a confserjueut market rise in the number of accidental deaths from .firearms. But by far the larger, num , ber of deaths are not from stray bul jlets and mistaking human beings for 'game, but from the careless and reck iless handling of loaded guns. Wire ! fences and twigs pull many a trigger with deadly results. And the victim is often the most experienced hunter. To shoot another in mistake for game, to kill another through the ac cidental discharge of a firearm and to fatally wound another with a weapon thought to be unloaded amount to manslaughter. They are inexcusable and criminal. BAD DAY FOE THE POWER TRUST The results of Tuesday's election showed a series of devastating re verses for the Power Trust on a wide ly scattered front. George W. Norris, implacable foe of the power interests, was re-elected Senator from Nebraska despite a bitter campaign and the amazing ef fort to. defeat him in the primary by inducing a grocer's clerk of the same name to file his candidacy. Gifford Pinchot was elected Gover nor of Pennsylvania after Gen. At terbury, Cyrus H. K. Curtis and the powerful Vare machine of Philadel phia had thrown their strength to his opponent. Like Norris, Pinchot is an arch-enemy of the Power Trust. Gov. Roosevelt, one of whose main concerns during the two years of his governorship has been to curb the greed of the Power Trust, was re elected by an unprecedented major ity. Senator Walsh, author of the resolution to make a Federal inves tigation of the Power Trust, was re elected in Montana against the op position of the Montana Power Co. One of the most spirited and close ly defined Power Trust fights was in Colorado, where Edward P. Costigan. outstanding liberal and former mem ber of the Tariff Commission under President Wilson, opposed George Shaw, the general counsel of the Henry L. Doherty public utility in terests in Colorado. Costigan was elected. In Oregon Julius L. Meier was elected Governor. Meier ran as an independent on a platform favoring development of water power by the public, as opposed to private inter ests. The defeated Republican can didate took the other side of the debate. Frank L. Smith of Illinois was de- . , . . r , .... paign fund while Smith was still sit ting as chairman of the Illinois Com merce Commission. The Senate re fused to seat this Power Trust can didate and now the people have balk ed his attempted comeback. Another most interesting develop ment was the defeat, in Tennessee, of B. Carroll Reece. regular Repub lican, for re-election to Congress. Reece was one of the leaders In the congressional fight against Senator Xorris' proposal for Government op eration of Muscle Shoals. In the pri mary Reece had the unusual advan tage of a letter from President Hoo ver indorsing his Muscle Shoals pol icy. The result of this election is a most significant commentary on the 10-year-old fight to put this great Government property to work. Dr. Wilbur L. Cross, dean emeritus of the Yale graduate school, was elected Governor of the rock-ribbed Republican State of Connecticut. Cross ran as a wet Democrat, on a platform of opposition to the Eing-ham-Rorafoack machine. He said in his campaign that Connecticut has suffered too long from domination by this machine and its allies, the pub lic utilities and the State Manufac turers' Association. In Wisconsin, of course, Philip La Follette won an easy victory. It is hardly necessary to add that La Fol lette is on the people's side of the power controversy. It is evident that the Power Trust issue is rapidly assuming command ing proportions, and if the trend in dicated Tuesday is followed in future elections the huge electrical indus try, like the railroads, will be com- pelled to submit to proper regulation and control. :o: A BOY ON THE MONITOR. When the Monitor went out to meet the Merrimac in Hampton Roads on the morning of March 9, 1861, William Taylor Lougee, an as sistant engineer aboard the cheese box on a raft, who died the other day, was a boy barely 16 years old. But a corporal's guard was at the guns in the curious revolving turret, a smaller crew being one of Capt. Ericsson's aims in building his iron clad vessel. The likelihood is that Engineer Lougee was the last of its crew, for judging by the ratio of Civil War veterans still live to the number which took up arms, the Monitor crew should have been with drawn long ago. As for results the battle did not amount to much. Neither vessel was able seriously to injure the other, and there was vir tually no casualties. The chief ef fect was the neutralization of the Merrimac. whose conquests over Fed deral gunboats had alarmed Lincoln's Government at Washington. The greater importance of the encounter lay in the opening of a new era in naval warfare. Third Assistant En- gineer Lougee, boy that he was, stood by as the era of armored warships dawned. leaiea in 1113 race lor congress.

In its national aspect, the election was above all else a Democratic vic tory. Partly a reflection of the dis satisfaction cf voters with the eco nomic condition of the country, the tremendous ground over Drys. The victories of Marcus Coolidge in Mas sachusetts, Buckley in Ohio, Lewis in Illinois, are examples of this trend, supported by apparent anti-prohibition decisions in three states, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Illinois, on wet-dry referenda. A second issue of importance was the liberal cause of more rigid control of public util ities demanded by Governor Roose velt and Former Governor Pinchot. Four figures loom large in the re sult of the poll, while many others fall into the limbo of forgotten states men. Roosevelt's record-breaking plurality in New York makes him the outstanding contender for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Bulkley romes into the national scene again with an extraordinary prestige. Pinchot returns to public life with a victory against heavy odds, a crusader who won out against the conservative elements of his own party. Dwight Moirow goes to the Senate assured of a position of lead ership. Although the cause of prohibition, the Republican tariff and tl e Hoover Administration in general received severe setbacks Tuesday, it seems that the primary significance of the election will lie in the personalities it has projected into the foreground, rather than its negative influence in censuring established persons or pol icies. More than any specific com plaint against the tactics or policies of the last few years, the American people appear to have demanded a new leadership and a restatement of policy on broad lines. :o: The British ambassador at Wash ington complains that the very swanky new embassy residence re cently completed on Massachusetts avenue is too small. Probably he had only in mind the congestion around the punch bowl when an ambassador ial reception is in progress. :o: A modern symphonic composition, entitled "The Ring," was inspired by a prizefight. Very likely there is a slow movement with much fiddling, to say nothing of the long pauses. NOTICE to Stockholders. Directors. Depositors and Claimants of Bank of Cass County, Plattsmouth, Nebraska.
