'TWO YOUNG MEN IN A HUBRYI"
AT .-FIVE O'CLOCK yesterday afternoon Huroid Catty and
Wiley Pout hopped of in tho "Winnie Miiy" from Harbor
Crace, and tliis morning about
breakfast in the aerodrome at Chester, Knglund. v
"We're two young men in a hurr.v,'' they told their fellow
airmen and, trnc to their word, drank fhtfir tsecond cups of
coffee (we hope they liked the British coffee -better than most
Americans do), climbed into their plune and roared into the
air for Moscow via Berlin. , , ... . 1

, most important element in such .achievement. That is sec
ondary to' the KFFKCT that such speed, the annihilation of
time and space is going to have upon 'the civilized world.
AVith America and England as near together as Medford and
San Francisco; and with America and Denmark no further apart
than Medford und Carinel, Europe ceases to be a foreign land,

neighbors , '! !.'. If!". I I ...

WVjK that time arrives, tho relations between the nations

We are apt to forget that only 1U0 years ago, wheh it took
over a week to get from Boston to Philadelphia, Indiana was
actually more of an alien land to New York than England is
today. This profound truth was expressed in a different way
by the later -Professor Clianniilg, when ho-Hiiid that school text
books not withstanding,- it was not the battlo of Yorktown nor
the aid of France nor the ineffieieney of King fleorge that won

HEARST RUNS
WE WISH William Uandolph Hearst would seriously ;on
temnlntii thin fno.t " . llttt. lie wnn'K William' Rnndnlnli is
the world's ohatiipioioppiii'tlinist nnd' 'trouble ihtiker. Suffi
eient untd tho day (for him) is the hokum thereof. i
So in opposing President Hoover's siiRRCstion for n war debt
moratorium ho is runuiiiK absolutely true to form!
. Ever since Hearst's papers were bnrred ,f rom Canada and
Oreat Hritain during the war, Hearst's foreign policy lias 'been
motivated by his desire to slap tho face of King George.
Enifland would ho benefited most by such a moratorium, for
it. is pnyiile; this country more of its war debt thin): any other(
therefore W. 11. fires n blistering editorial broadside against it.
The attitude is purely personal, as all of Hearst's political
(attitudes are. Hie hates KiirIiuh!,
posed his pet depression-cure plan.
That's enough for William Uandolph, If the law of gravity
ever defied him, be would fight it with tho last linotype lit his
command. 'He i in reality one of the last of the absolute, mon
archy ..He is whole, hearledly for jio cause, no party, no coun
try he is for William Uiinlodpli Hearst, first, last nnd all the
time.,, .' ' ' , . ;'V . . .,.... ' ,t-.
, .. .,.
SO THE issue is drawn as far as President Hoover and Hearst
are concerned. And no issue could be more to W. U.'s lilt
ing. .. .
How he and Hrother llrisbane will twist the lion's tail, again
make "Herbert" n loyal subject of, King George, and flood the
highwoys and 'byways with inflammatory insinuations caleu
hited' to arouse the hatreds, suspicions and passions of the rani;
and file.. I ! .. ' ,i '. , .
. As before stated, a debt 'moratorium is not only riglit, it is
desirable from the standpoint of this country's self interest. It.
is. the ono action that t'.VN be taken which will guarantee BET
TER, business conditions, and might actually transform, thorn.
Hut the political difficulties, both nationally and iutcrna
tic.nally, are tremendous. And William Uandolph Hearst, us
usual, will do his utmost to cspituii.c them.
About all you can sny for sin
title.
The old time bar was superior to the speakeasy in ono way,
It bad enough self respect to throw out the drunks.

The coincident of the prosl-

your wonderful editorial, being i

shows that good and right thlnk-
lng ahd real ideas do not belong

to class odr1 ''lowly'' editor with
our far-seeing and' "inspired"
president, ' mtiy peem strange" to
some,1' but that' again Just shows
you oil what plane right thinking
puts' us. ' 1 ' . 1-
I do think this last move of our
pr;wident's is the grentest- thing
that has happened since- Novem
ber' 11, 1918. It again opens the
door to' all to apply the "spirit of
human brotherhood" that wag bo
'universal, for several years, s.oV
lowing the 'world war. It was
this honest application of the "gol
den rule" or the "spirit of hu
man brotherhood" that many be
lieve was the primal cause of our
so-called prosperity.
You call this sudden world
change' a "miracle," : but many
nre bcalnnihg' to know that- all
things nre mentnl, nnd the 'right
thousht is-all; that is needed to
completely change things.1
NOW if all tho people, both here
at home nnd abroad will takbthe

dent and; extend It on to o.ur

will be another - miracle.

small child breirks a window, pulls
his sister's hair, tears the parlor
.curtains, nnd he Is picked up and
plumped into bed.
He does not' see the point, but
ho does know that mother Is mad
amt that it is nil very unpleasant.
There follow long hours during
which he Is first miserable, then
bored, then resentful or perhaps
merely sleepy.
t If resentment happens to be his
chief feeling, he undoubtedly will
find ways of getting even then and
there by getting out of bed, throw
ing the ; room Into disorder, or
painting : the; furniture with shoe
blacking. f ' ' ' '
Ono renny serious consequence
of this particular punishment Is
that It hns 'but to occur" a few
times to fill the child with a dis
like of going to bed nt any time,
for it has become for him a punishment'.-
" '
One therefore fights' tooth and
nntl ngnlnst taking a: nap. Bed
tlme'one lenrns to put off on every
pretext which the imagination can
invent.
And so having dealt thoughtless
ly with one prohlem, mother soon
hns a whole crop of new ones. '
: It Is nn Infallible rule In child
training that It Is unwise 'to use
ns a menns. of Tunishment some
thing which nt other times you
will want your child to enjoy do
ing. Tho commitment to memory of
lines of poetry or the doing of
;some extra household chore nevel'
should be associated with the odor
of punishment.
