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.

I hundred dollars will go the dis
tance in less than half the time, j
A flier will fly it in less than a i
quarter of the time. 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.

One little life flickered out last
night which could have been saved
with proper nourishment.
It is terrible to realize that such
things can happen In a civilized
world. But they do. Poverty, worth
lessness of some fathers, plain mis
fortune, bring the crisis. The little
one is helpless. Heat. I.ack of
nourishment—and the InevltahkJ
tragic end.
