Aerial Sport.

The young man who has been giving New
Workers plenty of excitement and neckache
during the past few days by sailing diri-
gible balloon over the city. is no visionary.
He has no decisions about the commercial
future of the "airship'' in terms of its use
in facilitating the worlds transportation.
He puts his view of the case frankly and
effectively thus, in the course of an inter-
view:
After having displayed the qualities of
my airship to New Workers, l shall pro-
coed to build similar ones to order. / ex
pect that the airship will take the
place now held by the automobile in popu-
lar esteem, the automobile succeeded
the bicycle. l have had many people deep
ly interested in the airship in all parts of
the country. / know that there are a great
number of people who wish to have airshTps
of their own. l have been compelled TO re-
fuse numbers of requests of people DESTROYS
of ascending with me.

studying the forms of fishes. The balloon

an hour. ! do not think. however, that the
airship will ever be practical machine.

Cabinet Speculation.

Not everybody is engaged In arranging
peace between Russia and Japan. Some
very capable men just now tinkering
with the Presidents cabinet and giving the
public something interesting to think about
In that line. No vacancy exists. but the
announcement that Mr.. Shaw will retire In
February affords excuse for the specula-
ton.
The cabinet as now composed shows all
sections represented. Mr.. Moody stands Tor
New England. Mr.. Root may be accred-
ited to the middle east Mr.. Hitchcock
lives in the middle west. Mr.. Metcalf lives
in the far west. The border states and the
south are recognized in Mr.. Bonaparte.
The northwest claims Mr.. Shaw and Mr.
Wilson. Ohio, the home of Judge Taft, Is
middle state and Mr.. Cortelyou has
resided In the District of Columbia so long
/. may not he incorrect to class him as a
representative t-large in the cabinet
These selections were not made through
sectional considerations. The President
took his men with regard to his knowledge
of them, and his apprasement of their
abilities for the duties to be discharged
Presumably in any change or changes that
may become necessary like considerations

man or for men in this locality or that for
the locality's sake. but will give thought
only to the general interests. He Is not
candidate to succeed himself In the White
House. and need make no appointment or
appointments with delegates to the next
national convention in view.
The republicans. because OF their long
lease of power. have a good many capable
and experienced men in their ranks. The
tide has been steadily with them now for
twelve years. and opportunities have been
abundant for the development of talent. 1t
NAV be said therefore that cabinet timber
Is plentiful In that party. and the President
has but to cast his eyes In any direction to
supply himself with safe advisers. But
that he has yet given intimation of his
purposes, II he has formed any. to meet the
case of Mr.. Shaw's contemplated retirement
does not appear from announcements in
any important quarter.

Primary Elections.

The primary election plan for selecting
candidates for state offices worked so well
in Virginia Tuesday there Is very general
praise of ii in democratic circles throughout
the commonwealth. No unfairness Is al
legged, and the victors are assured of the
support of the vanquished. Gov. Montague
will take the stump for Mr.. Martin, and
Lieut. Gov Willard and Judge Mann for
Mr. Swanson. Everything seems to assure
harmony as against the common enemy.
In those southern states where the democ-
racy has for years had everything its own
way complaint has been made of a lack or
interest in elections. Rings of politicians,
operating usually at county seats. have
found 1t an easy matter to run things in
their own way. A So-called convention at
tended by fifty or more voters. has often
spoken for whole county. On election day
comparatively few have taken the trouble
to go to the polls.
The primary election is designed to cor
rect this. and Tuesdays result in Virginia
Is highly encouraging to all who desire to
see the south wake up. Appealing thus to
the voters themselves and not to the local
bosses. the candidates were obliged to
make a thorough canvass and present their
Views to the people. Great interest was
aroused, and nearly a hundred thousand
votes were recorded. In some localities the
contests were the lveliest known in many
years.
Opponents of the primary urged that the
party would be injured by such canvass;
that the candidates, in the heat OF the
rivalry, would pile up campaign material
for the opposition. That point was not well
taken. Campaign talk of that kind is
largely chaff. delivered In stage tones and
for stage effects. 1t scarcely outlives the
moment of its utterance Gov Montague
in stumping for Mr.. Martin will find no
difficulty in giving as many reasons why
Mr. Martin should be returned to the Sem
ate as he gave why he should not be nomi-
mated. 1t is all in the play
The main thing in our politics is to keep
the people interested in elections, and pro-
vided with the means of meeting and hear
ing the men who desire their SURFACES
And that purpose the primary serves ex-
cellently.

Mayor Dunno.

Mayor Dunno refuses to publish the letter
which James Dalrymple. the Glasgow ex-
pert, wrote upon his return home on the
subject of municipal control of public utili-
ties by American cities. But does it
matter? May We not safely infer it's con-
tents from what we know of Mr. Dalrym-
pies spoken opinion? He probably but
amplified that in his written communica-
ton. He srw too much politics in Chicago
to give him hope of success for the project
there, and, unfortunately for our cities
politics governs all of them. Mayor Dunno
is political mayor. and cannot rise higher
than the forces that put him in office. 1t is
for him to prove, then. whether or not Mr..
Dairymple is wrong The Scotch. as rule,
are level-headed about business.

Takers in Peace and War.

The Spanish war was enlvened by the
enterprise OF the Mole st Nicholas liar.
The Boer war developed the talents of the
Delagoa bay faker. The Boxer rebellion
gave the Shanghai fabricator an opportu-
nifty to revel in absurdities The war be-
tween Russia and Japan has been made
picturesque by the devices of the Cheefoo
correspondent. And now the peace confer

some one in the Russian capital. who may
be termed the ST. Petersburg prevaricator

THE SULTAN'S PROPOSAL.

From the Chicago News.
Miss Roosevelt probably reminded the
Sultan of Sulu that it is against the policy
of this country to enter into entangling al
liances
From the Pittsbnrg Gazette.
The effort of the Sultan of Sulu to break

From the Portland Advertiser.
Another crazy man has proposed to Miss
Alice Roosevelt. This time 1t is the Sultan
of Sulu who thus establishes his claim to

From the Dayton News.
The Sultan of Sula has proposed to Miss
Roosevelt. Where's George AIDE?
From the Birmingham News.
The dispatches failed to give the reply OF
Miss Roosevelt to the marriage proposal OF
the Sultan Of Sulu. Did she comment

From the Toledo Blade.
The Sultan of Sulus proposal of marriage
to Miss Roosevelt must have struck Nick
Longworth as rather sudden.
From the syracuse Herald.
The Sultan of Sulu, by expressing will
lingness to marry Miss Roosevelt, gives evil
dence OF having sincere desire to become

From the Scranton Tribune.
The Sultan of Sulu In proposing to Miss
Roosevelt probably imagined that his title
ought to be as attractive as that of any

sumes-in theory. though not always in
practice-one-half of the expenses of mu.
nicipa1 maintenance In lieu of the payment
of taxes on the federal property in this
District. The progressive citizens OF WASH
ington realize that 1t has required years
to overcome the inertia OF decades and to
persuade Congress of the need of devel-
oping the capital both as seat of gov
eminent and as a municipality, and they
are patient under the delays which have
grown out of a stubborn. persistent belief
formerly In vogue at the Capitol that any
thing was good enough for Washington.
Take instance the matter OF the
municipal building. 1t has been urgently
needed and inslstently demanded by the
taxpayers for many years and is only just
coming into being. Take again the matter
Of the elimination of the grade crossings
If public spirit had been operative these
menaees of life would have been abolished
twenty-five years ago. whereas the great
work of terminal Improvement Is now just
In Its mid-progress. Take again the matter
OF sewage disposal. This is detail that
would have been attended to. If the local
spirit OF progress had been permitted ex-
preston, fifteen years more ago, while
the fact Is that this enterprise Is now only
just under way. Take as a further instance
the reclamation of the flats OF the East
ern branch. which have festered for years
and menaced the health of legislators and
citizens alike Had the local will been given
a chance this work would have been &C
complished fully twenty years ago. while
the truth Is that owing to congressional de-
lays the project Is now only in it's initial
stage.
The list of delayed public works Of ur-
gent necessity might be greatly extended,
with the factor of congressional delay
dominant In every instance. If there Is In
the states a feeling of pride in the capital
city it should be vigorously expressed In
condemnation of this policy of procrastina-
ton. Every new member of Congress who
takes his seat with a proper appreciation
of the public demand for truly progress
sive federal city will be material gain
in the fight for that long cherished goal.

breaks into the public press by performing
unusual stunts. And 1t was not a Newport
COW, either. but one that had given indi-
cations of good sense and adequate morals.
In saying pleasant things about the COW,
In twining garlands of praise around her
horns. 1t Is not contended that the COW can
do no wrong. The king Is the only animal
of that kind. There are several instances
where the COW has been accused of unseem-
ly behavior. AS an example, there was the
COW that jumped over the moon There
also were the cows that were in the corn,
though this laches on the cows part has
often been charged to the negligence Of
Little Boy Blue. Then there was the pur-
pie COW. But these little Irregularities are
trifles compared with the service rendered
humanity by the cow. For she not only
produces veal and other cows, but milk,

But to revert to the subject of sensa-

Pink milk might be thought desirable
thing in these days of pink teas, but when
the customers of Stanley R. Brunges, a
former member of the legislature, who runs
a big dairy farm near Tunkhannock, Pa,
found their milk turning pink they did not
like it. Mr.. Brunges, after experimenting,
found that portions of the milk from his

traced the pink milk to one COW in the herd.

it was red COW which gave that milk at
rosy dawn, were it not a proved fact that
the complexion of a cow has little influence
on the color of the milk. for the milk of a

a cream-colored Jersey.
In seeking an explanation Of this pink
milk the natural inference is that some
one tampered with the pump.
