Everybody is telling the president how to fish. The point
seems to be that when he catches a fish, he ought to have
caught it in some other way. We rather incline to the view
that he's fortunate to catch it at all.
Last week the assistant secretary of commerce for avia
tion told the Ohio liar association that representatives of
five large railroads had already been in conference with him
for some time considering supplementing their rail passen
ger service with air passenger service. Marked progress in
that direction, he believes, will be made within a year. One
large express company has made definite plans for carrying
express by air. The carrying of passengers obviously is
imminent, and the railroad lines are wise to consider avia
tion as;- supplementary' means'. oM'ransporlation instead of
as a rival to be fought.
A decade ago the American public was accustomed to see
ding marching young people. They were young inen going to
.war, to kill and be killed. Not long ago, in Cleveland, citizens
saw 10,(1(10 young marcheis. These were boys and girls,
tJ'oung men and women, representing the Christian Endeavor
societies of the whole country. There was nothing sad about
, their parade. In gay costumes, with waving banners and bal
doons, these young people marched and sang as they marched.
, During the days til' their convention they attended nioel
dilgs and listened to addresses calling them to serve Clod and'
.country, and to servo their country by promoting peace, by
liiitelligenl participation in government, by obedience to law;
by interest in facing and solving national problems:
j The elders who deplore the ways of our modern youth have
jfew grounds forlheir fears. Youth is always eager, idealistic,
easily inspired, tireless in energy and in willingness to follow
aiue leadersiiip. 1 nose eiders who supply such leadership
:v.isei.v win always linn plenty ol lollowers. ' When the young-
.steis go wrung, 11 is heeanse the example and leadership
iiiumm mini nave neen so hail.
