No. 10 Thursday, March 4,1920. ELECTION YEAR. r The Herald has heard no political talk this year and has not the slight est idea who will be candidates toi county or state offices* in the primaries this summer. We suggest that now not knowing who there will be tc vote for, is a fine time to make some election resolutions. Resolved, first, that we will- not vote for any man who is opposed tc enforcement of the law. Resolved, second, that we will not vote for any man whose object or purpose is to upset the present order of things. Resolved, third, that we will not vote for any man who is not progressive or who seeks to hinder progress. Resolved, fourth, that we will put principle above politics and stick to it. Resolved, fifth, that inasmuch it is useless to expect officers not in sympathy with the law to make any serious effort to enforce or uphold it, we will not cast our votes for any % candidates who are not in sympathy with the laws. Resolved, sixth, that we will vote for good men for office above person T - ~al friendship. Resolved, last, but not least, that \ we will vote for no man who is unclean personally, or who espouses unclean politics or policies. Many more good resolutions could be added to these, but if these few should be made and not broken it would be a fine beginning. THE WOMAN'S PARTY. W i It is very likely that at the next election some 20,000,000 women in the United States will have the power of the ballot. Will they use it? ^ We shall see. The women in South Carolina will not vote. There is not enough law in the United States to compel them to go to the polls, and we don't blame -** T1 - ? ?? n# urnmon'o Ill6m. it IS LIU UldllCl U1 nuuiuu u rights. They have all the rights there are to be had. There's certain things that have to be done that women are not called on to do. Voting is one of them. And yet, as good citizens the women ought to vote, of they are given the ballot?and as only three more states are needed to make the amendment law it looks very likely that the ballot is theirs. The women in some states will vote. That's what makes it one-sided. In the south only a few want to wear ' ' pants or have the time or inclination to worry about imaginary rights they do not possess. Nobody expects for women to plow or dig ditches, and . it would be useless for the women themselves to want to do such a thing. Of course, if the women in other states want to dig ditches, we have no objection, but why insist on our wornen doing it, when they don't want to? Anyway, the women are going to exert a tremendous influence on elections hereafter, and already the national candidates are grooming themselves carefully to meet the fair ones in the campaign. Most of the presi *? dential "timber" has already asserted itself unqualifiedly in favor of woman suffrage. Of course. t Almost to the Boards. Mr. Blank is very wealthy and very close. An acquaintance of his met Blank's son the other day and said: "Your father seems to have lost a eood deal of money lately. The last time I saw him he was complaining and saying he must economize." "Economize, eh! Did father sa\ where he was going to begin?" "Yes: on the table, he said." "Then I guess he must be going tc take away the tablecloth," was the final declaration.?Houston Post.

' New Altitude Mark of Thirty-Six j Thousand Feet Set By Daring Aviator* Dayton, Feb. 27.?An airplane carrying Maj. R. W. Schroeder, chiel [ test pilot, at McCook field, today fell over five miles after reaching an altitude of 36,020 feet, said to be 5,020 feet higher than the world's record. > Tonight the major is in a hospital cnffprinp' from the shock and temDor ( ary partial blindness. Instruments on ( the machine indicate that it fell more than five miles in two minutes. While still 2,000 feet above the ground, the : airplane righted itself and glided to a > graceful landing. When the plane settled, attendants who rushed toward . it found Major Schroeder sitting erect in the machine, apparently lifeless. For a brief time, residents of Dayton were sure a comet had appeared in the sky. They had mistaken the trail of vapor escaping from the machine as it sped downward for a "stranger in the heavens." Thousands of persons gazed sky: ward watching the plane which had i escended two hours before, plunge downward. His senses numbed and his eyes frozen shut in a temperature said to i have been 67 degrees below zero, j Schroeder regained partial consciousness when 2,000 feet above the earth | in time to right his machine and prevent it from crashing to the ground, out of control. Onlv Sneck With Tail. The thousands of spectators were J unaware at the time they were witnessing a "drama of the sky." They saw a speck of black silhouetted against the blue to which was attached a "tail of grayish color." Gradually the object was enlarged as it " hurled to the earth. When but a few thousand feet above them those watching saw that it was an airplane, turning in a tail spin. It was at this point that Major Schroder regained control of his plane and headed it toward McCook field. Here Major Schroeder made a safe landing and collapsed. He was blinded and his limbs were numb, despite the electrically heated suit in which he was encased. He was suffering from the effects of a lack of oxygen. When nearly seven miles above the earth, his oxygen tanks became exhausted and it was this which robbed him of consciousness and caused him to fall. Mechanics and officers at McCook field lifted Major Schroeder from the plane and he was given first aid treatment and later being removed to the post hospital, where it was said his blindness will be only temporary. It will be several days before he will j be able to use his eyes, according to Dr. Howard V. Dutrow, an eye specialist called into consultation. The - J n-l J <? r? tnermomeier on Major ouuiueuei ? ^ machine registered a temperature of M 55 degrees below zero Centigrade or ? 67 degrees below Fahrenheit. Altitude figures from the barograph reading indicated a height of 37,000 m feet and when calibrated by Capt. ei Harrison W. Flickinger, showed an official attitude of 36,020 feet, a new world's record and a variation of less d than 1,000 feet. B Airman Regains Record. ^ The mark set by Major Schroeder again gives him the record which Roland Rohl first won from him July 30, 1919, with an official altitutde of _ 30,300 feet and later increased in a second flight to 31,000 feet. It also breaks the rcord of Adjutant Casale, h( re a French pilot, who was credited writh G] an unofficial record of 33,137 feet. fo pi Major Schroeder was dressed heav- ei ier than any polar explorer who ever ^ set forth. He literally was wrapped _ in flexible electric heaters. His flying suit was lined with the fur of Chinese Nuchwang dogs and between the fur and outer lining, flexible elec- tl trie heat units, connected by silk cov- ^ ered wires with the dynamo of the ? engine heated the entire suit. $ In a like manner his headgear, u gloves and moccasins were heated. Major Schroeder wore an oxygen mask of his own design. Capt. Harrison W. Flickeringer, chief calibration officer of McCook li : field, said Major Schroeder's record v would be first sent to war department j| . officials at Washington and later to b ; officials at the Aero club of Amerlcca. q ; The Aaro club of America, recog- ? nized by the Federation Aeronautique ' Internationale, will be asked to cer- h tify the record of the world. m a > wm ) Cause Enough. * i il Caller (whispering)?What makes s vour husband look so pale and nerv- ^ I ous? ?
