h Today Lops Less Important. Old Ideas Stick. Alas, Poor Newport! ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ “Travel forms youth, when It does not deform it.” Willie Ri tola won the Olympic 10,000-meter race, beating the world’s record, which belonged to him, by 12 1-6 seconds. Ritola, born in Finland, came to the United States wher 10 years old, had his training here, and went back to win glory for his native country in France. Once, ability to run 10,000 meters at such high speed might Ijave meant the saving of a king dom. Now it means only an inter esting achievement.

Wireless will carry any message seven times around the world in a second. The muscles of your legs are not as im portant as they were. The gray matter in your brain and the train ing of that gray matter is just as important. Young gentlemen might remember that. England clings to the idea that to be an island is to be safe. The British government definitely de cided yesterday against building a tunnel under the channel between France and England. “Imperial defense” is the reason. But Eng land is an island no longer. The air, not the ocean, is the fighting place today. No more Napoleon will wander up and down the French side of the channel, wonder ing how to cross. F'rance can declare war on Eng land at 8 in the morning and de stroy London, including the king’s palace, conveniently at 10 that same morning. However, the conservatives drop old ideas reluctantly. Miss Esther Morton Smith of Philadelphia, niece of the late Jo seph Wharton, a Newport resident in summer, tells the world that Newport is “afflicted with immor ality and drunkenness.” Miss Smith finds bottles on the lawn of her Newport cottage, thrown by serv ants of the neighborhood. There are flasks on the hips of young gen tlemen that dance or go down to the beach. And where you have “hard liquor” used by the young, you are apt to have immorality. But prohibition, which for the present seems to include bootleg ging, must have its opportunity. The people have decided upon that. The socialist committee advises the socialist party to support La Follette for president, naming no socialist candidate. That might cost La Follette more votes than it would give. He would lose the votes of those who know nothing about the socialist party nnd believe it to be a mixture of communism, free love, atheism and other ingredients with which real socialism has nothing to do. From Shanghai comes news that the Chinese have found a George Washington to lead them. Chan Lim Hak is his name and, like our George, he is one of the richest men in his country, worth $30, 000,000. It is one thing to have a George Washington for leader, quite an other thing to have the right crowd of followers. The right followers are at least as important as the right leaders. You might send 300 George Wash ingtons to lead the 300,000,000 in habitants of India, and they couldn’t throw off the British yoke. United States athletes set new records in the Olympic games yes terday. Robert Legendre of Newark, N. J., covered 25 feet, 6 inches, in the broad jump, beating the world's record by three inches. F. Morgan Taylor of Iowa, cov ering the 400-metcr low hurdles in 52 3-5 seconds, broke another world’s record. An Englishman, Harold Abra hams, won in the 100 meters. Many races were represented. If they would, in all of life’s efforts, compete on a friendly basis with each other, instead of hating each other, the world would be better off. There is revolution in Brazil. San Paulo, capital of the wealthiest Brazilian state, where most of the coffee is grown, is held by rebels. But flying machines have been sent to the spot. They have a sobering effect on revolution.
