The aero bus has come, a flying
omnibus; actually carrying passen
gers regularly between Paris and
London, regardless o wind and
rain. The bus has four wheels Jo
get its start from the ground, plus
the one thing necessary for safety,
a set of engines more powerful
than any "wind they will meet.
In twenty-five years at latest
all travel for long distances will
bo through air three nours be
tween Chicago and New York, less
time later. And the travel will be
safer than by express. No wheels
or rails to break, no rear-end col
lisions, no sidewlping by freight
cars, no washouts, snow drifts,
bridges swept away. A wonderful
roadbed the air, self-renewing, no
friction.
And what fortunes for private
owners, if -that sky highway should
be theirs as the earth's steam
highways have been!
You learn from Secretary Lane
that this country relies to an
amazing -extent on workers not
born here. The foreign born num
ber 68 per cent in steel and iron
trades, 61 per cent in packing, 62
per cent in woolen mills, 69 per
cent In cotton factories, 72 per
cent in the clothing business.
This should interest statesmen now
planning to shut out immigration.
There are eight and a half mil
lion illiterates' in this country.
Secretary Lane has a plan to -wipe
out this illiteracy in seven years
at a, cost of twenty-six million dol
lars. That would be cheap. But the
theory that to wipe out illiteracy '
would also wipe out "anarchy and
dangerous discontent" is a false
theory. The anarchist is not an
illiterate. It is not among those
unable to read or write that dis
content and revolution grow most
rapidly. The reading and writing
fifteen, per cent of Russian popu
lation, sot the eighty-five per cent
illiterate, overthrew the Czar.
Slave pwners understood that, and
made it a crime to teach slaves
to read, knowledge, not Ignor- .
ance, breeds discontent. That is
why a. real republic should educate
everybody. Democracy depends
for stability on liscontent, well
informed, and acting in obedience
to laws made, and from time to
time changed by itself.
Peace league fireworks will
flash and Eizzle for some time.

4 world's benefit on this basis;
JCake all kinds of .fine rules for
Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Aus
tralian group and let thp United
States keep always in condition to
protect, and if necessary control,
THIScontinent. We need no army
of half a million, not even unrea
sonable fleets of battleships, al
though we should have enough of
them.''
"The world's biggest supply of
flyin machines, paying their way
in peace, carrying dynamite to
meet attacking ships in war, a big
fleet of. submarines on our east
and west coasts with a moderate
sized standing army and plenty of
trained officers, "plus sufficient
ammunition factories, would do
the work.
With those things, which would
not cost much, Uncle Sam could
say to the world seeking its per
petaal peace, "Go ahead, with my
dossing. I wish you success, but
I am keeping always fn shape to
protect myself if anything should
, go wrong with your plans."
Great Britain has released from
bond fifty per cent more spirits,
in spite of prohibition protests, on
the ground that the influenza epi
demic makes it necessary.
What becomes of Dr. Osier's
positive statement that stimulants
do no good in any disease unless
the heart has actually stopped, in
which case nitroglycerin is better
than whiskey?
Dismantling fortifications at
Helgoland and Kiel, to make Ger
many permanently weak, is among
suggestions discussed. Would it
be wiser to keep the fortifications
in hands of allies, if Germany must
not have them, rather than destroy
them?
Beyond those fortifications to
the east He Russia, and beyond,
Asia. If, by chance, there ever
should be a combination of Russia
and Asia, which is not impossible,
Western Europe might wish back
the fortifications destroyed. Until
the world is really pacified, with
'so much of it in turmoil it seems a
mistake to destroy anything that
civilization might need in a real
world war of continent against
continent. With such a leader as
Jeughis Khan, that war would
come only too quickly, as the world
is norr.
Sitting in bis Washington office
on Saturday Secretary Daniels
said to his clerks: "See if you can
get the President on the tele
phone." It was the new wireless
telephone, of course. A few min
utes later the President, 1,000
miles out at sea, was listening to
his Secretary. That is a real
miracle for you and only the
beginning of what men will do
4efore they finish ruling and regu
lating this earth. To say that
they will distribute the surplus
heat of the equator at the poles,

A bill providing for a nation-wide

was introduced in the House today
by Congressman Lundeen ' of Min

SENATE TAKES UP
D.C. BILL TODAY
The District of Columbia appropria
tion bill was taken, up for considera
tion In the Senate this afternoon:
Senator Hardwick of Georgia, who
is In charge of the bill, brought It up
In accordance with the action of the
Senate Saturday night in regard, to
unfinished business.
Under this arrangement it came up
at 1 o'clock.
Detailed consideration of the bill
was interfered with because of the
fact that the Senators desired to dis
cuss other subjects while it was pend
ing. This makes it uncertain what prog
ress will be made on the bill today,
but Senator Hardwick is hopeful of
having it passed before adjournment
this evening.
B
The bill for a great national me
morial arch in Washington, in hon
or of the heroes of the war with
Germany, has been practically block
ed for this session of Congress.
The House Public Buildings Com
mittee met today, but failed to con
sider it. It was the feeling of the
committee that It was too late in
the session to make it possible to
pass it through Congress.
"The question of when the commit
tee will meet again Is uncertain,"
said Chairman Clark of the commit
tee. He admitted the failure to act on
the memorial arch bill probably set
tled its fate for this session.
