MORE CITIZENS UNION LOGIC.

In another column we print letter from MI
Julius Henry Cohen, chairman of the committee
on legislation of the Citizens Union, in which the
writer criticises somewhat sharply the views
expressed by The Tribune Of the Citizens Union
project Of indorsing certain Tammany Assem-
blymen whose legislative record is clean. so
far as The TribUne's attitude on grab" Iegisla-
ton is concerned, we must content ourselves
with a grateful acceptance of the decoration
which Mr.. Cohen felicitously terms "the school
boys certificate of good behavior and standing
"in his class"-a certificate which Mr.. Cohen
generously bestoWs on all who agree with him.
Similarly, we have no desire to quarrel with
his determination to confer that certificate
upon those Tammany Assemblymen who have
assisted him In his courageous, If self-tmposed,
task Of preventing the passage of vicious legis-
lation Doubtless they will perceive that in
such a case virtue has been its own reward.
We shall not even protest at Mr.. Cohen's en-
thusiastic subscription to that sound Citizens
Union doctrine which conceives all sin to be
bad, but Republican sin unspeakable; but turn
TO what we suppose to be the main question at
fssue-nameIy. the principle involved in the
uroposition to indorse certain Tammany Assem-
blymen.
On this point Mr. Cohen seeks to shed flood
of light by remarking that The Tribune is In
error In supposing that there can be any analogy
hetween the nrODosed course and the Grout-
Fornes incident of the last campaign. AS to
that Mr. Cohen advances an ipse dixft instead
of an argument but he hastens to supply an
other historical parallel namely, the circum-
stances attending the election OF Municipal
Court Justice A 2. w. Seaman. provided the
.'man supports the Citizens Union principles he
may get all the Tammany votes he can," says
Mr. Cohen. But, pray, what are these Citizens
Union principles, and to whom, besides Mr..
Cohen. shall we turn for their exposition? Clear
ly not to Mr. R. Fulton Cutting whom we have
hitherto accepted as our guide, for Mr.. Cutting
cited convictions Numerically opposite in a
communication to Controller Grout during the
last campaign, quoting this declaration, which
was accented If not framed, by the Citizens
Union representatives at the fusion conferences:
Resolved, That we, the parties to fusion In
1903 reassert the pledges OF the last munich
pal campaign and declare our unalterable de-
termination to deliver the city permanently
from the scandalous misgovernment of Tam
"mapy Hall" The first OF these pledges, Mr..
Cutting indicated, was ito oppose every candi-
..date who shall accept a nomination from Tam
many Hail."
But without pressing further this question Of
historical parallels and accepting Mr.. Cohen's
theory. which he borrows from the Chicago Mu-
nicipal Voters League and thus phrases II
''the mans record is good and shows that he
islands by the principles of the league. he gets

NOT so EASY As IT LOOKED

just week ago the country was Informed
tiaI the democratic party had found q navv
ana inspiring political issue Mayor Dunno of
Ohcago had had a consultation with +bo hon
Iom l. Johnson of Cleveland. and tooo+bor
they had formulated the next Democratic no
uonal platform. That platform was to ignore
the past and face the future 1t was n com-
NIT the party to a frankly socialistic pro-
gramme. whose chief demands were municinaI
ownership Of public utilities and State or ma
uohai ownership and operation of the railroads
"u ocHer means OF communication and trans
portauon- Mr.. Dunno and Mr. Johnson gave
unelr piaucrm TO the world with an air of abso-
fute confidence. They knew that it had the an
proVaI OF Mr. William ]. Bryan. and with his
AID, they assumed, it could easily be rushed
through the next Democratic national conyen-
uoh- opposition might possibly be expected
from q remnant Of safe and sane' theorists
But mat opposition was cheerfully discounted
as The last spasm Of misguided and moribund
school Of reactionaries
II was the idea Of the makers of the John
son-Dunne platform that # would be challenged
only by small section of the Eastern Democ-
racy- But some recent happenings in Colorado
seem 10 jar with this theory. According to dis
patches from Denver, the Democratic party in
Coiorado is not showing any special anxiety
fact. distinct split has resulted from the eff
forts of some Of the leaders there to commit
the party TO public ownership and operation Of
railroads and city utilities Senators Patter-
sen and Teller and ex-Governors Adams and
Thomas were responsible for a gathering in
Denver on Monday OF Colorado politicians
called together to prepare an address on "the
issues Of the day" The secondary purpose of
the conference, it seems was TO overawe the
Democratic State Committee, which had also
been summoned TO meet, and which had slipped
IN some way out of the control of Senator Pat
terson and his associates. The nominal lead
ers drew up a paper, we are told, in which
municipal ownership OF all public utilities is
warmly supported and the claim that this
is local issue is warmly denied But the
State Committee threw cold water on the
Patterson-Teller -Dunne7Jo Johnson programme. 1t
passed a resolution declaring that 1.-THE time
was not yet ripe for municipal ownership; sIso
that IL was g question TO be handled polit-
'fcalIy by city and county organizations" For
State and national purposes the committee
thought the old issues were good enough
The leaders of the newer Democracy face a
difficulty, therefore, which long bothered the
leaders Of the older Democracy. In the height
OF the Democratic party's crusade against pro-
tsctiye tariffs Democratic candidate for Presi-

AERONAUTIC EXPERIMENTS.

Inventors who wish to utilize the aeroplane
In navigating the air will do well to take note
of an expedient tried few days ago by q
Frenchman. He demonstrated that by conduct
ing experiments over the water other adyan-
taces might be secured than the one pointed
out long ago by Chanute, an American engineer.
Not only can the aeronaut who adopts that pre-
caution diminish thereby the risk of injuring
himself and his apparatus if he has fall, but
he can also facilitate the operation Of launch
ing NJ Voisin. to whose recent attempts ref
erence is made, adjusted his apparatus lightly
on small raft on the Seine and employed a
fast motor boat to tow him. The proceeding
was very much like flying a kite. AS soon as
the outstretched planes of NJ. Yoisins machine
acquired rapid forward motion it rose gently.
Being well balanced it attained an elevation of
eighty feet In few seconds, and then slowly
descended, the headway gained before casting
off the towrope serving to drive it about one
thousand feet
Before q flying machine can be said to be
reasonably successful it must show that ii will
travel in generally horizontal direction, that
ii can be steered, and that II is so perfectly

its pilot wishes. But the first essential is to
start. With airships of the type which Santos
Dumont and the Lebaudy brothers have used
the operation of launching is an easy one. The
unfortunate consequences of Mr.. Manly's his
toric attempt to exhibit the merits OF ITO
fessor Langley's machine eighteen or twenty
months ago illustrate the difficulties of effect
ing an ascent with the aeroplane. Reliance
was placed by him on powerful springs, to
hoist the apparatus as we'll as to send it for
ward at the instant of starting, and it was
hoped that the gasolene engines ana screw
propellers would do the rest They dld not.
however, although the Naerodrome may nave
derived some benefit from It's having oeeh
mounted previously on the roof or mousse
boat If 1t had rested on a raft designed so
that it could be drawn quickly through the
water. perhaps it might have been persuaded 10
rise and show what it could do.
The experiment made by Nj. VolSin III the
vicinity of Paris is only one Of many which
may be expected during the season which mas
now opened The aeroplane which was tested
last week resembles In q measure that OF the
Wright brothers, of Dayton Ohio. Its de-
signer is Nj. Ernest Archdeacon, well known
French devotee OF aeronautc science. Other
machines of the same class have been planned,
Il not already built, to compete Tor prize OIL
fered by NJ Deutsch. To the man who hrst
succeeds In travelling one kilometre and re-
turning over the same course with an aero
pIane he will give $1,000. NJ. Archdeacon has
tried to raise similar sum by popular sub
scription for kindred purposes Five thousand
dollars may not go far toward reimbursing an
inventor for his outlay in ventures of this kind'
but a great stimulus will be impaired to in
genuity and ambition by the chance of win
ming the fame which would accompany these
prizes.
Such encouragement certainly ought to ex-
ert much influence. The cigar shaped gasbag
has now attained a development which gives
fair indication of its possibilities The improve
ment of it will hereafter be little more than
a matter of detail. The problems presented Dy
the aeroplane have not been worked out so
fully. In order to demonstrate whether 1t Will
ever realize the hopes of its champions good
deal of study and practical work is yet needed,
and 1t is gratifying to see prospect of fresh
endeavor in that direction
