Charles A. Lindbergh, of trans- Atlantic flight fame, hag taken it upon himself to criticise President Roosevelt’a Action in cancelling air mail contracts last week. While the Ookmel is a highly paid employe of one of the air' lines, affected and it was only recently that his contract wa g under the scrutiny of the United States Senate, it would hardly be fair to question the integrity and honesty of his motives in this matter. How ever, the language of his telegr am of criticism was couched in sucli lan guage as to lead to the suspicion that he may have been “assisted” in its preparation. On the other hand, no one can ques tion the honesty and integrity of President Roosevelt. It is hardly con ceivable that he would have acted hastily and without abundant proof in a matter affecting such a large and vital enterprise. it that “the Lindbergh luck” held good on his New York-to-Paris fligfit and no clogged oil line or other mechanical ♦rouble forced him down inter a watery grave in the icy Atlantic that ha* claimed other' intrepid and gallant aviators. His spectacular exploit and the modest mannar in which he ac cepted the honors thrust upon him en deared “Lindy” to millions of his fel- #ow Americans, but .that d'oes not qualify him as an uninvited advisor to the (President of the United States in With civil wars threatening in several European countires, one is led to the conclusion that, if those guys cannot And an ekeuse to flght .an out- sidcr, they will start *a little war of their own at home. »- - T-- generally.

During the debate on the Brown libel law bill in the Senate Thu;sday night, Senator John F. Williams, of Aiken, was either setting up a stiaw nan to knock down cr the newspaper people of South Carolina are Dr. Jekyls and Mr. Hydes, for we are not acquainted with the type of editor that Senator Williams described. “Charac ter assassins,” he termed them—mon- *ter 8 raging up and down the State seekin gwhcnf they might devour. He pictured “smoking shotguns” wreak ing dire vengence op the hapless fol lowers of the Fourth Estate when once the shackles of the editorial pen were freed by a more libera! libel law. We have kpown the editors of S:uth Carolina for the past quarter of a century and certainly the Aiken Sena- too/s lurid picture does not coincide ,arith what we know of them. For the most paat, they are a likeable bunch of chaps whose main purpose and de- aire in life is to be of some service to thie people of their several communi- tie M and the State at large. They get no pleasure in chronicling the mishaps and misdeeds of their fellowmen, but, on the contrary, would- much rather hand out bouquets.
