HOUSE PASSES
BILL CREATJflG
AIR MAIL ROUTE
Representatives Approve Cort

' Bill Now Up to
) President.
. By E. C. SNYDER.
Washington, 1. C, April 17.
(Special Telegram.) The trans
continental air mail service for
v men qi,ioi,uw is appropriated in
they postoffice appropriation bill for
, the fiscal year ending July 1, 1921,
which passed the house Friday and
now goes to the president, occupied
congress, just after the house con
vened, and for an hour it was de
bated of cities on the .route' from
New York to San Francisco via Chi
cago and Omaha.
Representative Miller of Seattle
was most solicitous over the fail
tire of the Postoffice department to
include his city in the . overland
route, insisting that the air cur-J
rents north and south were the same
as those east and west. He cited
the testimony of General Mitchell,
before the military affairs committee
of the housi, of which he is a mem
ber, m support of his contention.
Steenerson Opposed.
Chairman-Steenerson of the post
office and postroads corrfmittee
frankly admitted that he was op
posed to- the proposition, but had
been outvoted by the conferees and
there was nothing left for him to do
but stand by the report.
Congressman Dvcr of St. Louis
narTeen placated ay tne conierence
committee by striking out of the bill
. a. limitation placed on the postmas
ter, general in purchasing aircraft to-
be' used on thft transcontinental
toute entirely .and as the item now
stands the postmaster general may
develop otjier. routes, if the trans
continental route proves successful.
Representative Btanton of Texas,
wanted to knaw if the postmaster
peneral had 'promised Chairman
Steenerson to include the twin cities,
St. Paul and Minneapolis, on an air
mail route, if the route from New
York to San Francisco were adopted.
Mr. Steenerson, with deep, resent
ment in his voice, replied to the
Texan by stating that Blanton had
continually persisted in misrepre-
seliting him, and that once for all,
It wanted it understood, that there
as no understanding whatever, be
tween Burleson and himself.
Jefferis Listens.
Congressman Jefferis, who had
done a great deal of effective work
for the item, contented himself with
listening to (the wail of representa
tives whose towns were not in
cluded in the transcontinental

tension considerably when "he re

they did, making the transconti
nental air mail route a possibility
and Omaha one of the terminals.
Speaking of the action of the
hous,. Congressman Jefferis said: "I
am greatly pleased at the action of
the house in approving the air mail
route. That Omaha should be one
of the four great cities on the first
transcontinental air route is a strik
ing tribute to the wonderful ad
vantages offered our city. Omaha
since its founding, has been known
as the 'gateway to the west,' and
this signal recognition at the hands
of congress proves ' this to be no
idle boast, threat credit is due our
forward-looking citizens whose fore
sight and civic pride made possible
the splendid hangar and landing
field for the planes."

of Gen. John J. Pershing by Leon

"After knowing 'Pershing for 29
years, during which time I followed
his career, I thought enough of him
to re-enlist during theWorld War

"America needs a leader today
who is awove party or personal ob

idea is the betterment of our nation,
and who will uphold the ideals and

fought and won. Pershing is the one

"Pershing has shown his business

many instances. He will show the
same responsibility in- steering the
American nation over the, breakers."

Leonard Wood lias had only to
show himself to win. The huge and
rugged form developed by manly
exercise; the stern, yet kindly face;
the mild, yct.resolute voice ; the earn
est mien, have won wherever they
have come into' contact with other
men wherever they "have been seen.'
"Veni, vidi, vici," said CaeserjV I
- came, sawj I conquered" might stand
as a motto for Leqnard WoodJ
Where the General has not shown
himself, his enemies have tried to
create impressions contrary to,, the
facts and misrepresent him in every
way; for the big, stalwart form might
belong to an ogre as well as to one of
tKe most single-minded and conscien
tious men the country has produced.
Unable to make headway against
him among the people whose instincts
are almost always sound and true,
they have thrown off all restraint and
resorted to chicane, the chicane and
trickery , of the amateur in politics,
often to the amusement of the friends
of Leonard Wood.
' Among the Northern races of South
Dakota he was this or that, as the oc
casion might suit anti-Catholic in
Catholic communities and Catholic
where the people are strongly Pro
testant. Pamphlets were distributed,'
just before the polls opened, putting
him in a false light; but, in politics the
injection of religious issues ever proves v
a two-edged sword," and the result
in South Dakota stands as new evi
dence of its futility. . -
Not satisfied with that, yet ano'ther
effort was made in Illinois t.n link tha
name of Wood with that of George
town University, one of the most toler
ant and 'liberal of American colleges,
though nominally 'Catholic.
"I am an Episcopalian and never
have been connected with the good
work, that is being done by George
town University," was the stinging re
buke of Leonard Wood himself
As a soldier and man of the world,
familiar with the Cubans, who are
Catholic, the" Moro pirates, whose in
stincts plated them among the canni
bals of the Pacific, and people of every
land, Leonard Wood is tolerant of all
and appreciative of the good in all,
leaning neither to the left nor right.
Only persons brought up in the nar
rowest surroundings and unacquainted
with the world are swayed by prej
judice, and it is no compliment to the
supporters of' any, candidate to ac
cuse tnem of resorting to methods
which are wholly un-American and
contrary to thfT tolerant spirit of
American institutions. They surely
have not th"e religion which teaches,
them to love their f ellowi men.
After contending with them in
South Dakota, in Michigan,; in Min
nesota and in Illinois, the Wood sup- -porters
are aware that the same issUe
is to be raised in Nebraska by the same
antagonists as a further bacje-handed
slap. Lesson 'after lesson, defeat after
defeat, will not teach them the as
ininity of what they try to do. Nor
will they heed any friendly admoni
tion. They will persist to Jhe end of
the campaign.
These attempts to arouse 'one reli
gious element against another has
been traced, back- to the anti-Wood
forces and in every instance Leonard
Wood supporters are now in a position
to place their hands on the men re- '
sponsible for them. His friends see
LE0NARDW00D
no excuse for the attempt to introduce
the religiousngle in the present cam
paign. The only statement made by
General Wood on the question js that
he is a member of the Episcopal
church and that he issorry that he has
hot had the honor to represent George
town University and take a part in the
good work it has been doing. .
Nathan Willialfi MacChesney, who
"conducted the Leonard Wood cam
paign in Illinois, issued the following
statement just before the end of the
Illinois campaign.
"A vicious attempt to inject the re
ligious issue into the presidential pri
mary campaign in Illinois has been
made during the week by the enemies
of Leonard Wood. Cards stating that
General Wood is now 'and has been
for eighteen years, a trustee of George
town University of Washington, Dy. C
aCatholic college, tiave been cir
, culated throughout the state. This is
' untrue. I am confident that this at
tempt to arouse one religious element
against another will react against
those who have attempted this under
handed political Irick.
V "General Wood is Protestant and
a member of the Episcopal Church.
He has thousands of friends, however,
among both Protestant and Catholics.
The question of a man's religion has
no place-in a political campaign and
the attenipt to stir up" prejudices of
" this sort in the closing dfcys of this
campaign, is evidence of a desperate
situation. The campaign in behalf
of General Wood has been conducted
- in a dignified' manner. We have- not
attacked Governor Lowden, who is the
) General's only opponent in the presi
. dential preference primary. We have
devoted our campaign to presenting
the qualifications of General Wood to
the voters of the state. General Wood
himself in Jiis speeches has not en
gaged in any personalities or .attacked
Governor Lowden or any other candi
date. He has confined his-speeches
to a discussion of the issues of the
day. x
"Personally, I am also a Protestant
and a member of the Presbyterian
Church. s I am also a member of
various' Masonic orders and General
Wood is also. We are, both members
of the Medinah Temple Shrjn, but I
have nothing but contempt for the
man who attempts to inject the reli-
. gious issue into politics.
'"In.Rockford, General Wood in his
speech said, "I am an Episcopalian
and never have been connected with
the good work that is being done at
Georgetown University. In Cuba, I
served many years among Catholic
people. I have many friends among
them and received at their hands
strong support, in handling difficult
matters.- That support came from
them not as Catholics, but as citizens.
'The "most dangerous politican we
have today is the man who goes about
the country (trying to gain votes by ar
raying and arousing the hatred of one
religious--element against J another,
striving to gain votes at the cost of
national stability.',"

Masonic order. He is a member of
