TITS NEEDED NOW.

Now that the election is over,it would
be oppoltu tune for those Chicago parties
who have solved ali the problems of air
navigation to materialize their visions
as they have been sent out. There are
a vast number of people who have
found that the unexpected has come
into their personal and political ecOno
my, and will be glad to depart for
time on q voyage to some unknown
bourne, and these air ships would be
timely. 1t was given out that in about
sixty days tbs great vessel that was to
Journey aSove the clouds would be
ready TO take ON passengers. The posi-
tiYeneSS and detail of the anticipation
render it Geedfui for the good faith of
the city that it should materialiZe.
That aerial navigation was possibility
has seemed beyond cavil since youthful
eyes followed the ascending chariot of
ELIJAH portrayed in the primer. There
was some obScurlty as to the cause of
its deviation. but its general success
was paipablc. This Chicago ship was
TO be made of aluminium, the general
utility metal that will displace about all
the otherswhen it can be made cheap
enough. The market price of this metal
keeps up, in spite of the frequent state
ment that processes devised had put its
cost down to that of the -cearser metals.
Scientific authorities all discredit the
claims of those who assert that they
can make aluminium at 10 cents
a pound or less. Some Of the
best brains in the arts are TO-
cused on that effort. and it would be
foolish to assert that the cheap process
will not be ferreted out. In view of the
frequency of disaster by rail of late, 4
route above, where collisions and run
ming of tracks would be rare or impos-
sible, has peculiar allurements. AL
though it has been the dream of vision
aries from D4EDALUS to DARIUS GREEN.
it would be an unwarranted limitation of
the new development to doubt its ac-
complishnent IN a generation OF two,

SOME OF THE UNExPECrl,

The general sweep made by the Dem
ocrats at the election brings to view
many men not known out of their local
tiles. Some of them are no doubt as
much surprised as their opponents at
their success. The Fifth district III this
state may furnish an instance of this
kind. In Massachusetts, out of eight
Democrats elected, five are college grad
yates. showing that the scholar in pol
itIcs" does not mean a Republican as
much as has been claimed. LIN Wiseon-
sin, among the Democrats elected to
congress is man named MILLER, who
IS a native OF Greece. said to be the first
OF that nationality ever in congress.
lie has Il romantic history. whether his
lineage goes back to the 'bind bard of
Scio's lUcky isie,' or any other ancient,
or not. The family name of his parents
IS not Known to him. In the strug-
gle for Grecian independence in
1924, Col. MILLER, of Vermont,
as we'll as LORD BYRON, was among
those Who went to the aid of the liberty
loving Greeks, and on the battlefield of
MlSSolongili he picked UP lost infant
whom he brought to this country with
him aid educated. The boy took the
name OF his benefactor. and is now,
most unexpectedly TO himself, elected to
congress. He was absent from the state
most of the campaign, taking no part in
it, so hopeless was the district supposed
to be. 1t is believed, however, that he
has good material for the place. 1t is
probable that good many Democrats
who want TO go to congress are kicking
themselves that they did not see that 1T
was the flood year, and try to secure
nominations.

THEY ARE HOPEFUL.

1t has been matter of observation
and comment by occasional church at
PENDANTS in this city, who have perhaps
NOT fully kept the trend of religious
thoughts. that in the past few weeks
two or three of the pulpits that are ac
compahied by The largest organs, and
have the richest giltihlgS for the sacred
desks. have INDUCED in commentators
and sympathetic references to Gen.
BooTH aud his Salvation Army. The
concession has been made that these
somewhat ungainly and undigniiicd
religious workers belong to common
force, and are grotcsquciy stumbling up
the bill OF Zion. Possibly these refer
enceS were somewhat melted by the
new development and greater scope of
effort Indicated in Gen. BooTn'S.
new book. entitled "In Darkest Eng
land and the Way Out" The
substance and mission of this book are
Indicated III 4 paper devoted to it in the
November issue of the review published
at Andover, the fountain of the preya-
lent and traditional New England the
ology. Gen. BooTH's scheme is sug-
of Christianity. He is with HENRY
GEORGE in cooperation and ownership
of land. London is the theater Of the
proposed operations. He has well
disciplined force. drawn mainly from
the classes that form the dark back
ground OF all large cities. His aim is to
utilize this force in a comprehensive
scheme for the regeneration Of the
slumS Of London. He will take the
denizenS of these out of their viieness
of life and association into q colony
that IS to form q city with lands
for cultivation aud varied adaptations
to promote useful life. The exact econ
omy of his projects he does not unfold,
but asks for a half-inillion dollars with
which TO inaugurate the work. With
this, and the assurance OF much more,
he will establish the foundation of his
refDrmatory fabric. This is essentially
SocialiStic, aud may be somewhat
chimerical, but no man better under
stands the elements that he hopes to
elevate. His soldiers have been in
touch with the strata in the social
structure that philanthropy and Chris
tianity have made so little impress upon.
His continued success in holding and
enforcing discipline upon them gives
some promise that he may accomplish
his purposes in the more advanced
work. His efforts may be viewed with
hopeful interest.

WILL NOT HELP MUCH.

Some of the defeated are recovering
from their panic so far as to try to find
hope for the future in the theory that
the vote was light and that the absen-
tees were nearly all Republicans. So
far as there was a falling off. it was
more marked in the cities than in the
country. 1t is possible that some bust
ness Republicans were so dissatisfied
that they refused to go to the polls. But
the vote will be found in most of the
states to DC we'll up to the average of off
years. In Nebraska the vote is stated
as $1,000 in excess of the presidential
election, probably owing to the prohibit
ton issue. In Wisconsin many Re-
publicans were disguised over the shape
of the school question. When the fig
ures arc reported in full there will be
very little room found for the theory
that indifference was conspicuous on
either side,
