Overnight, it brands us outlaws those patasitu interests which have long fringed] legitimate business and numbed the > han<.|s of men who would play the game by rules based on fairness t.o j employee, numagement, and consumer. It stamps w#t approval the policy of industries and concerns that operate on the principle that business was made to serve man. Business and jua?fessipnal men who have convictions pn the subject of commercial bribery, fair prices, honest products, and living wages for workers, now have their innings. Whether their cause is to be vindicated and a new deal permanently written into economics depends, in large measure, on their response to the challenge. Codes of practice and ethics are to bo written by someone. By whom if not them? SUCKER MERCHANTS Experienced Observer Hays 'I hey Never Make Money for Retailers The veteran observer, Eugene A.shi raft, of Monroe, N. C., and The Enquirer there, tells some things that every other experienced merchant knows about stunters and fakers coming to towns to get easy money out of business men. He says: Within the past weeks three guys have come to my office with schemes to "till the town full of people," and for which service merchants would gladly carry extra advertisements in the paper, and which would be split fifty-fifty. But each of the stunt men insisted that they be paid cash and the newspaper men collect the balance when theySfciuld. The first fellow was a "remote control" and radio-operated automobile through the streets. Second, a guy proffered to walk blindfolded coping of the highest building in town. And last, the blindfold driver who operated an automobile through traffic by aid of "telepathic wives" trans mitted through the ether by way of friend wife. Well, those who have driven through our streets may have brought a few sight seers to our town, but I have yet to hear a merchant say /lis money till could not hold the sheckles from customers drawn to his store because of blindfold drivers. When and if some stunfbr somes to j town and proffers to jump off the , court house steeple, or onto the hard i pavement from one of our highest i '( buildings, I shall enter into a contract . with him. Then after the show there will be one less stunter to pester the, fife out of merchants and newspaper folks. There is a milk war on in the Rochester, N. Y., area, and in a clash J Sunday between strikers and non- , strikers supplying the district with milk, a number of persons were wounded, rifles and shotguns being used. Governor Ix*hman, of New \ ork. has asked the legislature of that state now in extraordinary session, to declare a moratorium on home and farm mortgage foreclosures until May I of lp.'il, pending full operation of the federal home owners' loan act.

Capital Observations (Special Correaporvdenoe) Washington, August 8.?A couple of weeks ugo referenco was made in this column to thia city's being "wide open," so far as Sunday restrictions are concerned, as there are practically none. An object was to note the wide difference in observance in various sections and localities. For instance, here on Sunday one may paint his house, do carpenter work, V anting else, but if he crosses the J'otnmnt; Kiver into \ irginia and dues the ..unit kind of work die- is subject to arrest and prosecution.1 It may bo said that most of the towns and cities in the Ivast have restrictions governing work on Sunday, some of them being very stringent. Only recently certain municipalities in Maryland were granted by the legislature the right to <Jc*termine whether picture shoves should be allowed to open on Sunday. Another illustration regarding the difference in laws and ordinances, not however relating to Sunday, is that in Washington if one "bets on a race horsehe is subject to arrest, but if you go to tho District line, and step v>ver into Maryland, you may b$t all you choose. On an pccasion while he was president Gl-oVef Cleveland facetiously uttered a remark to the effect that he had Congress on his hands, and at times ever sine? humorous references have been made with a view of disparaging the national legislative body. TWfr cordial relation existing between the president and Congress during the recent session was more than remarkable, and at its close the chief executive thanked the senators and representatives for "making possible a more sincere and whole-heart- , ed cooperation between the legislative bhtruhes of. the government than j has been witnessed by the American j people in many long years." In fact it is doubtful if such entire coopera- j t jon ever existed previously, and of j course it was due mainly to Roosevelt's great ability and truly wonder- j ful personality." In his closing J statement the president said: "To, aach anil every one of you 1 send my | best wishes for a well deserved and j happy holiday during the coming months." i President Roosevelt has been ex- ! ceedingly liberal in the official recognition of elements and individuals that previously had not been affiliated with the Democratic party. He appointed to his cabinet three men who were formerly Republicans, and they may even claim to be so yet, as they have-given no intimation of con-j | nection with the Democratic pitrty other than their support of Roosevelt lavt year. They are William H. Woodin. of New York, secretary of the treasury; Harold L. Ickes, of Chicago. secretary of the interior; and Henry A. Wallace, of Iowa, secretary of- agriculture. Holding high office by t he three mentioned having been j called to the attention <>f a nationally , prominent Democrat, he remarked, that" ""Well, we still have a majority in the cabinet." j It i.- said that the explanation of, the rather c'.o>e vote in Tennessee for that the Republicans opposed almost solidly the amendment providing for the repeal of the provisions for prohibition. Having practically no other ground upon which they could indicate opposition to the Democrats, they hated to see the last remaining stand taken away. The mountain folks generally have supported prohibition, and stronger than ever this year. As an acknowledgment of the inert and helpless condition of his party lasT year, Congressman U. S. Guyer, Republican of Kansas, says that "Franklin D. Roosevelt could have been elected on a platform that declined for the repeal ->f the law of gravitation."

Two French Fliers Make Longest Hop Rayack, Syria, Aug. 7.?A straightline distance airplane record of approximately 5,700 miles from New York was claimed tonight by the ^>vo daring French fliers, Paul Codol and Maurice Rossi, who landed here exhausted after one of the greatest flights on record. ('odos^ and* Rossi ket their silver, broad-winged Bleriot 'monoplane down at the Kayack airport?one of the beat In Asia Minor at dusk, 55 hours 20 minutes out from Floyd Bennett field, New York. Their official landing time \vj?s 5:10 p. m.-r-nG. M. T. (1:10 p. nfl E. 1). T.) They estimated they hud flown sev-, eral hundred miles further than the straight-line distance, buffeted over southeastern Europe by treacherous air currents as they approached the Arabian desert. Leakage in their gasoline line, which started as ' they neared the Syrian coast, prevented them from from continuing on toward the Persian gulf, Codos said. They had planned to carry on and set a record of between '6,000 and 7,000 miles, but the mishap forced them to land, Rossi said the plane functioned perfectly during the flight. Both men were exhausted when they reached the airport here, some 30 miles due west ojf the port city of Beirut, Syria, on the railroad. They hud to bq^vjped from the plane. Several hundreds-natives, picturesque in scant costumes and the inevitable burnouse, worn as protection against the blistering sun, joined army aviators in cheers as the aviators were sighted, coming in low from the coast with an army escort. The army planes wm from their base at Aleppo and Delrez-Zor met the aviators as they reached the Syrian coast and led them to a safe landing at Rayack. The fliers did not pass over Aleppo, as reported by French and British press agencies earlier in the day. 4 The men fought fatigue and terrific heat throughout the day, they said, as they flew rapidly down over the continent of Europe, on a southwesterly course from Paris. After be.ing i sighted over the island of Rhodes, near Greece, and followed the southern cqast of Asia 'Minor until they crossed the coast of Syria near AllU* och, of Biblical memory. The French planes from the Syrian air force encountered them in that vicinity. The air ministry at Paris wired them congratulations and official an-t nouncement that they had broken the record of 5,U40 miles set by two British .fliers, squadron leader, iC. B. Gayford, and flight lieutenant G. E. Nicholetts, on a flight to South Africa last February. Aside frdm the heat during the afternoon, the fliers said they ran into unfavorable weather in the neighborhood of Macedonia, below the Balknns. The winds, however, were far less severe than the storms over the ( North Atlantic which they fought the first night out from New York. The dramatic story of their flight was told in telegraphic flashes from time to time during today as the plane was sighted over southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. , They were unheard from for a time after flying over Kastelorizo, in southern Turkey, at 12:47 p. m. G. M. T. (8:47 a. m. E. D. T.), but subsequent radio signals from them were picked up at Athens, indicating all was well. The fliers had both receiving and sending radio equipment, a fact to which they ascribed much of the success* of their achievement. Rossi said they probably would remain at Rayack a day or two resting up and checking their plane before departing for Paris. The British admiralty is planning heavy increases to the number of ships of the navy of that country. This move is an answer to recent announcements of heavy building programs by the United States, Japan, France and Italy. Lieut, beneral Hans von Buelow, former German army officer and in command of a German army corps in the latter part of the World war, died suddenly at a Waynesville,' N. C., ,hotel on Sunday. THE CHRONICLE OF THE f Contributions to this "Column" are most welcome. Names of contributors will never be printed?unless desired. Just sign "pen name," together | with your own name and address, the latter for our information only, j A good friend of this Column has said to us, "Don't write so much about horses, people are not enough interested." Hut with his permission, the writer feels that he must report something1 he observed at the inauguration of this year's race meeting at Saratoga. There were present thousands of, people from all parts of the country, from the South, the West, the North, the I\ast?people representative of all walks of life, some favored with much of this world's goods, some in very, moderate circumstances. The man of, prominence and the obscure citizen,' the Whitneys and the Wideners with their great stables of famous thoroughbreds and their long established traditions, and the man just starting with one or two horses, owned and trained by himself?men, women and children drawn to one spot by a common interest. As we watched the steeplechasers parade to the post arid saw Regan McKinney and "Pete' Bostwick in their racing colors; as we noticed the interest with which the appearance of the mighty Equipoise was awaited; ;is we saw. on every side, in wellkept lawns, in flowered walks, in carefully designed jumps, evidencesj of the care with which President, j (leorge Hull and his associates had ' ft>? months been preparing for rhis ' day ? we tnuu.'ht. "What is it "hat ; draw- all these thousands of pc -pie rere, to -ci' -01110 horses tun an and a t raik ? " And then we f ad the answer, standing m the -addling shed, wf -aw Equ poi-e!

He motions Sherwood Anderson.. ..well, I was with him when he first met Anderson.... It was a memorble night?and who can correctly describe that kind of a night in any other way? Well, Anderson was speaking that night in the town where Woods lives and where he has an extra abode a mile or so out of town. Anderson was to come out after his talk . . .. j Mind you, he was a strange; *J1 present?even to his hoot. liut he came into* this crowd like a conquering warrior?and thid crowd was no mean crowd either, but it had started to taste of pheasants and wild grouse and was not showing an overamount of restraint .... Ceremony was conspicuously lacking but Anderson could dispense with that too. There were, at his entrance, questions as to who he was?kindly, you understand, but brusquely free ..He accepted the challenge . . when aaked what he had written, he graciously enumerated the list?apologizing for it and adding that he hoped no one had been bored by the items . . they told him no apology was necessary for none had ever read any of them. These gentlemen?quite generally accepted as such?began to question him ;n what might not be considered a gentlemanly manner, but tney soon found out that Mr. Anderson was practically invulnerable to their thru-:.- ;ind slammed lawk at them at interval that silenced many a one who spoke out of turn: yet always , with a smile?smile of a \*k tor . . itc 1 \\ a - supcrl^ !
