Postmaster General Brown and his assistant in charge of the air mail. W. Irving Glover, have just told the air contractors of the gov ernment's dissatisfaction with the progress thus far made in the effi cient and economical operation of mail planes. They also expect the contractors to go out and get more air mail to carry. These are not unfair demands on the part of the postoffice department. Of its annual deficit $20,000,000 is occasioned by air-mail contracts. Moreover, it is the department which must go to congress for the money to make up this deficit, or in other words, fight the battles of the air mail carriers. Congress has been generous in this subsidization, but it expects results. Perhaps the air transports have done all they can to make the service they render efficient and economical. If that is true, then it is up to the public if it wants fast mail delivery, to patronize the air mail better than it has in the past. It is a preferred servce which may have to be main tained by more general use for ordi nary mail. Once the volume of mail i equals the capacity of the facilities ; the air mail will cease to be a bur- den upon the government. -:o:- Seized with an attack of politics the Germans henceforth will drink their beer from paper cups and at chairs and tables bolted to the floor.

Raskob has outlived his usefulness to the Democratic party. The gentleman regards business as sacrosanct. His solicitude for the I public utilities is touching. The stock market is holy ground to be Jspoken of with reference. Regulation is heresy. The pure of heat will ut tei no word of criticism, lest cred:. that tender bloom, wilt and droop and perish. Hands off. Eyes abut. That is the policy Mr. Raskob would have the Government adopt as re gards business. It is not an untried policy. It baa been in continuous operation for 10 years. Since Wood row Wilson left the White House the Government has practiced what Mr. Raskob now preaches. The results of that policy stretch before our eyes in every di rection. Business unregulated has done to itself what regulation never did. Mr. Raskob is quite right in suy ing that "it is not the duty of the Democratic party to engage in at tacks upon business" in "ill-founded, miscellaneous attacks promoted for partisan purposes." With equal truth and equal originality Mr. Ras kob might have said that it is not the duty of the Iemocratic party to set fire to the White House. For a certainty, it is not the duty of the Democratic party to play the role of arrant demagogue which Mr. Raskuu seemingly fears it is likely to do. It is Mr. Raskob's privilage and right, of course, to entertain such fears as he will; but it is not the right of the chairman of the Democratic National Committee to suspect the Iemoc:atie party of any such imbecilic intent or to warn it against any such idiocy. The Democratic party is profuse ly committed to the principal of equal opportunity for all. special privileges to none. That principle is the life blood of our American dem ocracy. Once surrendered, the great experiment in popular governmei.t has failed. Mr. Raskob has. in effect, asked the Democratic party to surrender that principle. Kis resignation as chairman is in order. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. : o: ON LEAVING THE SENATE Several Senators stepped out of public life on March 4. Were they crushed by the ingratitude of the proletariat that demoted them to the ranks? Apparently not. Most of them accepted the dismissal in the best manner of the Stoic. One of them counted his dismissal a joyous release. That happy man was Arthur Gould of Maine. The eloquence of the Sen at that thunders across the front page the forensic duels marked here by the bludSeonings of rage and there by the rapier thrust of the polemic artist for Mr. Gould a'.l this was a "waste of time." "Clack," he called it. "Confounded clack." Mr. Pine of Oklahoma spoke in a gentler key. But there was no re gret on leaving. Business had made him an authoritarian. Oil and gas. banking and glass, have engaged him. They have taught him the nec essity of control. No one has con trol in Washington, he declares, "not even the President of the United States." Back in Okmulgee he is the boss, and the prospect of returning is altogether pleasing. So with Mr. Williamson of Ken tucky. Mr. Phipps of Colorado. Mr. Brock of Tennessee. All business men, these ex-Senators, and all con vinced that there ought to be more business men in the Senate. Stiil. with the exception of Mr. Gould, they have all enjoyed their political detour, so to speak, and Mr. Brock, though smilingly eager to get back to his candy plant, admits "there is no public office on earth I would rather hold than that of United States Senator." It seems to us those business men have bowed themselves out rather ad mirably, all except Mr. Gould. And it is violating no confidence to re call an incident in his senatorial ca reer which might have soured almost anyone. It was a St. Louis firm, was it not, that induced him to experi ment with its products, with luring promises of comforting results? Some measure of success attended the ad venture, but mostly the consequences were gall and wormwood, or, any how, vinegar. After that, and the publicity, Mr. Gould was never the same Senator nor the same man. We wish him better luck in the quiet of his old home town of Presque Isle. There should be respite and nepenthe in a town so enchantingly named. :o: Lasten all ye common people, horny-handed sons of soil, toilers in the workshops, hill billies, lowbrows, rednecks, and other forms of the pro letariat: Bear in mind always, when listening to campaign speeches, that candidates love vote more than they love voters. 1t& First in the dough.

It was an extraordinary visit quite un like those made in late years by channel swimmers, transatlantic avi ators, champion prize fighters and English novelists. Arriving, the j scientist-pacifist was awed by Amer ica's unique enthusiasm for a hero, in whatever realm of endeavor. De parting, he was a match for the agile reporters and photographers who had hounded him across the continent. Whatever he may have learned about the universe in California ob servatories and laboratories. Ein stein surely learned a great deal about American character and Am erican institutions. He was thrown squarely against them at every turn. It is unlikely that Americans in general learned much of psysics from Einstein's visit. Although news cf the discovery of a few new themes of the universe issued from Einstein's headquarters on the coast, it was not relativity, not cosmic physical theory, that interested America. Rather, it was the simplicity and charm and reticence of a lovable old German. With a less appealing per sonality an equally great physicist might come and stay a year and g" without so much as a ripple on the I surface of America's daily life. All in all, the visit must be ac counted a complete success. Most of jus. who do not understand rele t ivity. ,have become acquainted, at second hand, to be sure, with a gracious per jsonality. The few or the relatively fan who do understand the&e cos mic mysteries have dealt with the i German scientist on another plane, land have profited. Bfl he did. I And at no time did our visitor de liver himself of either a flowery eu , logy or a bitter critique of America jand things American. This surely is an achievement in the face of a con start barrage of questions. The annual report of the chief 'medical examiner of New York City ! shows that 1,295 deaths in that city last year were caused, directly or in directly, by liquor. ,625 of this num ber being attributed to poisoned alcohol. Nevertheless, any bootleg ger in New York will tell you his stuff comes right off a boat from Eu rope. :o: Governor Huey Long may be a 'great man down in Louisiana, but in other parts of the South he's merely a sissy who dunks corn pone in pot likker.
