A MAN OF AVIATION AND A MAN OF THOUGHT.
We lose a man of aviation—Wiley Post, the one-eyed,
famed, round-the-world flier, who has startled the world
twice in succession with his spectacular and speed-breaking
records. We lose a man of thought—Will Rogers, undoubt
edly the most-beloved and popularly known of all Ameri
cans. He more nearly approaches to the qualities which
made Mark Twain “the first American.”
The enterprising Americanism of both Post and Rogers
was strangely divided—one to a comparatively new indus
try and the other to the field of thought, which with his in
herent humor and wisdom, proved to be an example and
leader in many of the problems of life today.
Both men were outstanding in their particular niches in
the wall of life. Each man had gained world renown for
his individual exploits. One man was serious about his job
of development and the other lived for the humor and con
tact which he derived.
Wiley Post and Will Rogers died at Barrow on a semi
secret mission which was to take them to Nome and thence
Siberia. But the names of these Americans will be indel
ibly etched into that part of civilization which is exclusively
American.
Since Will Rogers was first a humorist it would be pro
per that such an editorial as this be ended with a slight hum
orism on a late president of the United States, when first
being introduced to the late President Coolidge. Will Rogers
appeared very shy. As the two men stepped forward to
shake hands Rogers cocked his head on one side and said,
“Beg Pardon! What’s Name?”
Why despair of democracy? The representatives of
the people can still prohibit things. The Ohio Legislature
has prohibited dance marathons.—(Chicago News.)
To the President, bloc, lobby, demagogue and special
privilege all look alike. He fears none. —Cincinnati En

REAL AIM POST
FLIGHT IS NOT
REALLY KNOWN
(By The Associated Tress)
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17, —The
real aim of Post’s flight and Rogers
actual part in it, is still not definite
ly known. The venture was high
ly secretive, but the prevailing belief
here is that Post was enroute to
Siberia and Moscow to blaze a new
air trail to the Soviet capital for
aviation interests in this country.
Friends believe that Rogers may
have been helping Post to arrange
and finance his flight. It is the be
lief that Post’s resources were lim
ited and this opinion was bolstered
by the fact that the plane he flew
was not a new one. The engine was
new but the body was assembled
from other used planes in the Lock
heed Aircraft plant at Burbank,
California.
Buying Post Plane
Gesture But
A Previous Plan
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17, —By a
quirk of fate Congress decided to
buy Wiley Post's world-girdling
plane the Winnie Mae, on the day
that brought news of the pilot's
death.
The measure come up Friday
morning during a regular call of
the senate calendar and not because
of any special arrangement.
Later, the House also passed the
bill, but because of a minor change
it required senate approval for final
action. The bill was to authorize
the payment up to twenty-five thou
sand dollars, for the ship which was
to be placed in the Smithsonian In
stitute.
Gave Special Hour

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, —A special
