The democracies are not interested in keeping alive the threat of war. Above everything else they want a settled and peaceful world. And when leadership in international affairs passes to their capitals, we at least have reason to hope that the world may eventually take a right turn away from war.

RECKLESS STUiT FLYERS DID WEIR PART, TOO Probably nobody will bother about it, but right now wouldn't be a bad time to drop a wreath or two in the ocean in honor of the stunt flyers who made so many headlines, created so much excitement, and provided such a long casualty list back in the era which begsn about 10 years ago. The Pan American Clippers are carrying mail, express, and passengers over the Pacific on regular runs now, and similar ships will he shuttling back and forth across the Atlantic before long. And something of a debt is owed the stunters who tackled the oceans so rashly back in the '20s. It is hard even to remember the names of those flyers, now. There were serious-minded technicians of the air, of course, such as Lindbergh and Chamberlain and the various army men.

There were also a good many young daredevils who looked on the broad, peril-haunted seas as a challenge to their during and who could not be happy until they had replied to the challenge. Some of them made their flights successfully, landing in England or France or Hawaii just as they had planned; others set out and were never seen again. But all of them did their bit to accumulate that store of experience and knowledge which aviation had to have before it could loop the seas on a steady commercial basis. It used to be the fashion, you remember, for serious-minded folk to dismiss those flights as stunts. We were assured that the flights proved nothing; that an ocean crossing by air was so extremely hazardous that it took luck and extraordinary skill to get across and that it was foolish to believe that hit-or-miss, haphazard jaunts by stunters would ever bring us nearer to the goal of regular trans-oceanic passenger planes.

That was all very true, of course but somehow we do have these trans-oceanic passenger planes now, we are about to have a good many more of them, and it is hard to avoid the feeling that these stunt flights did a good deal to blaze the trail. For the stunters, if they did nothing else, showed us just how dangerous an ocean flight can be. They emphasized in an unforgettable way the need for perfect organization, elaborate preparation, and better planes. They at least demonstrated that the job was not going to be easy; and they did prove that it could be done if everything was right. The lesson stuck.

Pan American spent years getting ready for this Pacific line. It went to almost unbelievable lengths to make its flights safe and secure. It insisted on getting planes of a type that most designers thought it impossible to build in the days of the stunters. Now we are at the goal of those far-off days of the mid-twenties. The old dream is coming true.

And at least a little of the credit ought to go to those daring, foolhardy, and occasionally crack-brained youngsters who set us to dreaming 10 years ago. truck and automobile collided on thi William Penn highway, near the Indi-1 ana-Cambria line.

Thursday, October 22, 193(5 PURGE THE REGISTRY LISTS As urged in these columns some time ago when rumors of fraud were in circulation, the countv commissioners have voted to exert every effort between now and election day to run down complaints by the citizenry of the county that persons are illegally registered to vote in certain districts. Honesty in elections is the very cornerstone of our democracy and officials who energetically uphold such principles can receive nothing but the highest acclaim of the populace and the whole-hearted support of every right-thinking citizen. Credit must also go to those citizens of township districts who petitioned the county commissioners to have alleged false entries on vote lists probed. The easiest course for any person to follow is to say "Let George do it;" in other words to declare it in only the concern of the proper elected officials to see that the vote registration lists are accurate.

When private citizens acknowledge realization that it is their concern by filling such petitions, encouragement is given to the cause of good government. In this nation, all of the people rule. Understanding by the citizenry generally that it is their business to see that the sacred privilege given them by the Constitution is not wiped out by allowing persons, not so entitled, to vote is in entire accord with our governmental setup. If the investigation does not uncover a single instance of fraud, it will have been at least worthwhile in assuring the electorate that rumors ofs illegality have been without foundation in fact and that our' public officials have not been careless in administering the sacred trust which we have reposed in them. The probe should go on, however, until every suspicion has been run down and if persons, who are not entitled to vote, ar on the registration lists in Indiana County, their names should be stricken from the records, i in CRsn and jewels.

The politicos said nothing in "the back car" (the President's traveling residence) but they talked plenty in the press cars. They had nothing against Miss Chaney. She was most charming and refined. But they were sure that so theatrical-looking a personage would not go over well in the conservative rural areas. And they made it clear that they thought Mrs.

Roosevelt should restrain her big-hearted hostess impulses during the campaign.

WITH THE PRESIDENTS SPECIAL There is no question about the attitude of the crowds that arc turning out for Roosevelt. They are not merely curious as were the crowds that turned out to see Al Smith in 1928 or William Jennings Bryan during the heyday of his oratory.

They are genuine Roosevelt rooters. Take the crowd that waited for him in the rain in Cleveland. His train was nearly an hour late. But they waked, a great crowd packed along the waterfront, drip but patient. These and other straws in the wind indicate that the groundswcll for Roosevelt is growing.

In the language of football, the democracies have possession of the ball at last. They may be backed up to their own 20-yard line, but they are not on the defensive. For a little while, at any rate, they can call the plays and determine the strategy. And in that fact lies reason to hope that this next war we all have been talking about may be indefinitely postponed. To understand why this is so, one need do no more than reflect on the psychological atmosphere that a dictatorship must create.

A dictator is secure only as long as his people are afraid of someone. If he can keep them keyed up, solidly conscious of national unity in a hostile world, he can hold to his job with a tight grip. An era in which nations fear and distrust one another, an era in which the shadow of approaching war tics forever across the landscape, is the only sort of era in which he can thrive.

With politics constantly invading the home via radio this year, the explanation might be that people feel more in need of relaxation. Then, according to Mr. Gumpertz clowns are kept strictly non-partisan in a presidential election year, and the use of circus elephants and donkeys in political giigs is taboo.
