Tracy Hail the Pioneers We Need Ideas Blind Politicians The Quadrennial Guess

H.v M. E. Tracy It is singularly appropriate that a man named Byrd should be first to fly over the pole. The coincidence will make him immortal in publication as well as in story, though without detracting from his feat. These be wonderful times, indeed, with a man accomplishing almost between suns what it took Peary almost months to perform after lie had trained himself by ten unsuccessful attempts. But let us not forget that some of the credit is due those who spent their lives perfecting the airplane and engines to drive it. ( Langley did a flop more tragic than Josiah Green and died of a broken heart, but his should be no small share of the glory, since he had the vision, if ho lacked the time and strength to realize it. * Back of the things we and things that make this age surpass every other —is the dreamer, the inventor, the mental pioneer, overreaching themselves nine-tenths of the time, hut worth while all the time, because they force us out of the run and into action. •!• -I- -IjComes the rotor ship of Hettner, sailing up New York harbor after a .tourney of 6,000 miles with two whirling smokestacks that don't belch smoke at all, hut suck in wind. Has this German contrived something of vital consequence or produced a mere novelty? The question turns on the still larger question of whether the world prefers speed to economy or whether speed is not the truest kind of economy, no matter what it seems to cost. Even if Flettner fails to get anything out of it for himself or to improve conditions for other people lie has still fathered an idea and that after all is the important thing. The only real danger we face or ever will faca is the danger of sterility in the production of ideas, the danger of becoming Chinafled, as Roosevelt put it. and sinking into a slough of futile imitation. We need ideas constantly, need them in government as well as mechanics, need them in art as well as business.

The best solution political brethren can think up for the farm problem 19 some sort, of protective tariff or some sort of revolving fund like that with which we tried to tickle the railroads into shape. Meanwhile it is a horde of useless middlemen that blocks the road and the consumer is getting hurt as much as the farhier. What the farmer needs is an open highway with the stall at the end of it. where he can sell direct. That is what the consumer needs, too. Municipal marts designed to furnish a straighter path from field to table and cooperative agencies on the farmer’s part to make them function effectively—that is what all classes need. Ts Washington wants to do something worth while, let it devote itself to clearing away the rubbish that has accumulated between the man who grows things and tho man who eats and wears them—the brokerage, (gambling and manipulation, and let It remember that city folks have more at stake, if anything, than the farmer. How blind politicians can he to the real problem and the deeper impulses that demand a solution. When they face a campaign and need votes they will grab at anything. T -I- -I- ’ Here is Alton B. Parker, whose death reminds us that he was once Hie victim of this very stupidity, The Democratic party put him up because, after two failures with Bryan, is contracted a severe case of New Yorkitis. He was a good man, a good citizen and a good lawyer, but all that was overshadowed by a cut and dried touting of his conservatism. They pictured him as a perfect antithesis of Roosevelt, not because lie was, but for obvious political purposes. They guessed that the country wanted a perfect antithesis of Roosevelt and made a tragic mistake. Now the Republican party is guessing what the West wants, al ways with its eye on this year's campaign and that of ’2B. It is not the genuine relief for the farmer or anybody else that the Republican party wants hut any old thing that will keep him in line until the votes are counted.

U. S. COURT FIGHT SEEN IN DRY CASE Shumaker and Aids Plan Plea to Federal Tribunal on Contempt Charges. FILE DILATORY MOTION Indicates Move on Basis of Free Speech Rights. Indiana Anti-Saloon League officials plan to carry their fight against <on tempt charges filed against th< in in the State Supreme Court into Federal Court, it was indicated today. Dr. Edward S. Shumaker, League superintendent, and Ethan A. Miles, and Jess E. Martin, League attorneys. forecast their plan, it was believed, by changing tactics at the last minte, adopting a dilatory course in their tight against the charges preferred by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom. Cited by the State court, to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt ’ alleged in Shumaker’s annual report to league trustees, the trio filed a motion asking the court to require Gilliom to make his charges, which resulted in their citMion, more specific in thirteen iwtieulars. Decided at Confcrencce The filing of the motion was decided on Monday, it was learned at a conference of tile defendants and former Attorney General James Bingham. 1005 Fletcher Trust and Savings Bldg, their defender. The course was adopted in preference to the filing of a denial of Gilliom’s charge or an apology which could have purged them of contempt. made them immune from punishment and ended tlie case. The fact that they did not seize upon this opportunity to escape punishment was believed to forecast their plans contemplate further action than in State Supreme Court. It is understood that it was decided to resort to every legal move possible in tlie State court to make a good record to incorporate in an action in the Federal tribunal. If punished by the State court, the trio's action in Federal Court will he bused on their rights of free speech as citizens of the United States. It probably will lie in the form of a suit for relief from loss of their constitutional rights. “Dilatory Move” .Bingham said the filing of the motion was a dilatory move re: orted to by the trio to preserve their rights at future stages of the case. If the motion was not filed, Bingham said, the statute makes it mandatory for the court to construe the bill of information as containing specific allegations of contempt. Bingham declared Gilliom’s charge of contempt was the attorney generals own conclusion and was not alleged specifically in his bill of information. Shumaker’s report, criticising the Supreme Court for its attitude toward prohibition enforcement and arraigning Gilliom and his office force, was read Jan. 19 at a meeting of trustees of the league. Shortly afterward it was printed in panfphlet form. It also appeared verbatim In the Feb. 6 issue of the Indiana edition of the American Issue, official organ of the Anti-Saloon League.

NORGE OFF ON FLIGHT TO N. POLE j Second Attempt to View Top of World to Be Made by Amundsen. THREE NATIONS INVOLVED ft New Conquests Are Being Planned by Byrd. I BV I nited Pres* KING’S BAY, Spitzbergen, May 11, —A huge semiyigid dirigible, tho Norge, pushed its rioso over the I frozen northland today, carrying three daring explorers Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth and Commander Nobile—who hope to be the first to cruise over the north pole I In a lighter than air craft. I When weather conditions were an- * nounoed as favorable, Amundsen, ' Who heads the part£ of Arctic adventurers. gave the word that Hie 1 flight was "on”. j To Amundsen and Ellsworth it was the second attempt to master the air currents over the top of the world. Last year they at tempted a flight to the pole by airplane, but were forced to land 150 miles from their goal. Immediately upon their return from that unsuccessful flight the two in New York—Ellsworth being an American—announced a flight

would be made this year In a dirigible. Commander Nobile, an Italian, was selected as pilot and a ship of his own construction used. Flown From Italy A few weeks ago the Norge was flown from Italy to Kings’ Bay and tho last few days have been spent In making it ready for the flight over the ice-bound country between here and the polo. Amundsen was also waiting word of favorable weather before making the dash north. From King’s Bay to the Pole, so far as Is known, there is nothing

but an open field of Arctic Mas and Ice floes. Thus far explorers have been’ unanimous in reporting no land that side of the pole, but the Amundsen expedition hopes to find land on the Alaskan side.

Byrd's trip to the Pole Sunday is just the beginning of his exploration work, he said Monday. After two days of rest here the two fliers will start again by plane, this time for unknown places in Ncfrway. The speed of Sunday's flight will not he sought on the next flights. Instead, Byrd and Bennett will start out equipped to take their time and in all probability will disappear from tlje world as far as news is concerned for several days on each trip. In talks with correspondents Monday. Byrd told something of the luck that favored him on his Sunday flight. He had benzine sufficient for only two or three hours of flying when he returned to Kings Bay from the pole. If be had been forced to land who* near the pole he andjponnett might have had serious difficulty in making their return to this base. Other aviation experts here showered Byrd and Bennett with praise Monday. Captain Ilelmer-Hasen. who is with the Amundscn-Ellsworth-Nobile expedition, said “Byrd's flight was a very fine piece of navigation.
