Baldwin Arrow made two successful
Iascents. On one occasion it remained
in the air for upwards of an hour,
answering the. helm perfectly. even
when the steersman took the airship
straight into the teeth Of the wind
1t sailed against the wind with as much
ease, apparently, as It, sailed with the
wind. The ship was sailed in an "S''
course. it was sailed in a circle and
straight up and down. And it descended
at the exact time and on the very
spot selected by the man in charge.
1t would be too much to say that
Captain Baldwin has solved the prob
lem of aerial navigation. He has not
done that as yet. He has invented an
airship that is dirigible under favoring
conditions. His Arrow was not built
with a view to carrying passengers. It
has only a framework under the gas
bag, frame of sufficient strength to
maintain an engine and some other
machinery. The steersman is Obliged
to cling to frail rods, for no seat has
Oeeh ueNiHeu even Tor him. Such an
airship can, of course. have no more
commercial value than racing auto

But the racing automobile has stimu-
lated interest in motoring and the

aerial navigation. Certainly Captain
Baldwin has made great progress. So

sentence. The other day in New
York he was attacked by his son. a
itrihing, drunken wretch, and almost
killed. The spectacle OF the gray-hsired
father in court to testify against his
boy is said to have been most pitifuL
But is it possible for any one to sym
pafhize with Adams? Has he not
brought on his own head his troubles2
Adams is criminal. both by instinct
and by practice With his policy shops
he robbed the poor people Of New York
of their pennies until the outraged law
stepped in and sent him to prison. The
law had a hard fight to convict Adams.
but he was convicted and he served out
his term. There is 70 evidence on his
part of any intention to reform.
And how about the boy who attacked
Adams? Ordinarily nothing can be
more reprehensible than an attack on
parent by son. But is the boy in
this case so greatly to blame? If there
is anything in heredity he was born to
crime. His footsteps turn into forbid
den paths more readily than the foot
steps of most boys. His power of re-
sistance is necessarily less. The boy is
not as responsible for his offenses as
the man who brought him into the
world
1t is not often that men pay as dire
penalties on this earth for sin as 'Al"
Adams is paying.

MEN WHO ARE COOL.

W r DON'T PAY enough attention to
T" the men who keep their nerve.
In Salt Lake the ether day a street car
mOtorman kept his nerve and averted a
bad accident. His car was crossing a
railroad track when train came along.
The motorman promptly reversed his
motors and there was no accident of a
serious nature. That seems like a sim
pie thing. But suppose the motorman
had not resisted the very human i'm
pulse to jump? The result would have
been a catastrophe that could not have
failed to bring death to several per-
sons.
In East river, New York. last week a
sound steamer collided with a ferry
boat. The ferryboat was cut almost in
two. Within less than five minutes it
sank. But during that brief period of
time a hundred passengers were trans
ferred from the ferryboat to the steam
er. the latter lying alongside the in
jured vessel until the work was all
done. Not a life was lest. The cap
tains kept tbeir heads, the crews stuck
to their posts. If as much had been
done by the crew of the John p. Slo-
cum last spring the loss of life would
not have been nearly so great.
A large proportion of the fatal acct
dents are possible because somebody
loses his nerve. 1t has been said that
if the individuals who persisted in the
Iroquois theatre disaster in Chicago
had not all tried to leave the building
at the same time most Of them would
have been saved. There isn't a theatre
in the United states that is safe in the
event of a fire or fire scare if the
members of the audience lose their
nerve.
People have been trampled to death
on the open prairie in panics. 1t would
seem that there should be plenty of
room in the open air for everybody to
get away, but there isn't unless everv-
body is cool. The man who gets out OF
a tight place is the man who keeps on
looking calmly, coolly, quickly. for the
way cut. Nine times out of ten he
finds the way when death seems GER
tain
The advantage Of having men with
steady nerves in responsible positions
is manifest And when such men are
found their worth should be recognized
by as rapid promotion as is possible.

MR. RoosEvELr,s VICTORY.

DOLITICAL POST MORTEMS are
L hardly ever profitable. Returns
received yesterday afforded no en-
enlargement for the Democrats. The
voters of the nation have endorsed Mr.,
Roosevelt by an unprecedented ma
jority. Perhaps the most surprising
result was that in New York. Even
the most sanguine Republicans did not
expect the president to carry his home
state by more than 10000 to $4,000. He
actually did carry it by a total that
exceeds 10000.
We believe the American people this
year voted for men, rather than for
principle. 1t is hardly to be believed
that majority of the thinking people
of the nation do not believe in the JUS
tice of Democratic principles, generally
speaking. But the American people
also like men of action. Roosevelt is
such a mani He is inconsistent, head
strong, impUlsive; he is likely at any
time to take some step that the entire
country will regret, but he is a full
blooded, active fellow, and we are fain
to concede that his fellow countrymen
admire him immensely.
It is not to be supposed for a mo-
ment that the election of Mr.. Roose-
welt was accomplished by means of
fraud and corruption. The trusts un-
doubtedly contributed liberally to his
campaign fund, but no amount of
money could have produced the results
of Tuesday. The voting was not close
enough to warrant the assertion that
Roosevelt is not the choice of a vast
majority of the unpurchased and I'M
purchasable voters.
Another result of the election that
cannot fail TO impress the observer is
the manner in which William Jennings
Bryan has come out of it. Mr. Bryan
today is easily the leader of his party,
NE is easily the biggest Democrat in
the United States. The Nebrassan
would not have been great if he had
remained at home during the cam

As for Judge Parker, it may be said
here and now that he has been elm
mated as a possible leader. He is safe
and sane" all right enough. but he has
not the qualities that go to make a
leader of men. Judge Parker is an able
man and he would have made an ad-
mirahle president. 1t is our sincere be-
lief that the country is the loser by his

SPECIALISTS In
AERIAL WORK

Whenever very high iron or steel
structure is to be erected in any part
of the world" said an engineer last
week, there is need for a few men
who are specially expert at working
on the very top, where boiling and
Iiveting have to be done under con-
dltions that make it necessary for the
workmen to be exceptionally proof
against dizziness, to be excellent
climbers and to swing immense
weights and do other hard work with
very little chance to get good brace
against anything.
Now, while the average iron work
ers all have wonderful ability to hang
on high in the air, and do the most
difficult jobs under the most danger
Gus conditions, there are experts even
among these experts. These rarely
do anything except the work in the
most difficult and dangerous places
of all.
Such men do not usually remain
in one place for any length of time.
Like other specialists, they are called
in when the time comes. Some of
them have been all over the world,
helping to bridge chasms in South
America, throwing spans over quick
sands in India and Africa, working on
high towers through Europe and put
ting the finishing touches on sky
scrapers in America.
"They get big wages, and they work
only a few hours a day. But while
they work, there is hardly a moment
when they are not in danger. They
do not mind 1t, however. They smoke
and joke as cheerfully while they are
perched on the end of a beam 300 feet
in the air as if they were sitting
placidly on the ground"
