is Quite Pos sibIe,

Those who have made study of
the navigation of the air have long
since been divided into two schools
the balloonists and those who have
been called ''aviators." The first re-
gard the balloon-the gas vessel-as
an essential and convenient expe1ient
for overcoming the force of gravity.
This. they point out, already exists
is well understood, and can undoubt-
eddy be driven through the air by
suitable propellers at a fair speed.
The aviators, ON the other hand, de-
clare that the balloon is an unneces-

become really practical means Of
navigating the air. and they rely on

To Change Football Rules.

HE intercollegiate football committee oa. rules
which formulates the regulations governing the
game, held preliminary meeting in Philadelphia o.
Saturday night Judging from the talk Of the mem
bers VINO attended, hs rules OF football viii be so
changed as to abolish many OF The evils complared
Of ard the sport next season viii be free from
dangerous roughness.
The committee is of one accord, in the belief thatthe
mass plays will be greatly modified andthis wfstop
piling up on the players. another change that
meets with favor is to require an advance often yards
under penalty of foreitng the ball to the other side.
This will result in much more punting and open
work which is OF more interest 10 the spectators.
Extremely low tackles are likely to be prohibited
and the officials will be reinforced by another umpire
whose business it will be to watch for foul playing.
After all is the officials that have most to do with
the foul and unnecessary rough playing. When
these changes are made we shall expect to see a
different sort Of game not SO rough and more
interesting to the onookers. If this is done, football
will be ia no danger Of losing its prestige out
door sport

immigration Conference.

KtAI good IS likely to result from tee Imm.-
grafton Conference held in York last week at
which Delaware was represented so ably. The CUES
ton Of a PRACTICAL unrestricted immigration such ss
we now have will became one OF the most important
problems that confronts Congress. The flood of i'm
migration is ceaseless. Thousands upon thousands
are coming to our shores. Many Of them are unde-
srabe, while for others of the better class there is
plenty Of room here for their labor and their indus
try Some Of the best citizens we have spring from
immigrants. The history of the Irish, the Germans.
the Swedes. the English and others, needs no re-
calling to show what valuable factors they have been
in the nations development.
The drift of immigration now is from the countries
of the lower part Of Europe. from Russia and from
Poland Many Of them perform needed work
here. The ranks of laborers now are largely re-
cruited from these classes. Many of them become
assimlated But with them is large element of
the offscourings, and It IS with these undesirable
ones that the country viii have to deal. From this
part of the immigration, the criminal classes are
chiefly recruited.
Statistics of the New York State Reformatorv ~
Elmira throw interesting information on the cond;-
tons that engaged the attention of the conference
The statistics OF the Elmra institution show that
nearly IS per cent. Of the inmates, who are voutbs
are absolutely illterste little more than 90 per cent
can read and write with difficulty more than 80 psr
per cent have common school education and fewer
than per cent. have had high school education
The same statistics reveal that over % per cent. are
foreign born of foreign born parents a. per cent are
American born of foreign born parents. only four
and one-half per cent are of American and foreign
born parents, while q per cent. are OF American
born parents. These figures indicate that the comb
nation of an American and foreign born parents is
pretty good one for producing citizens The statis.
tics present food for thought those interested IN
unrestricted immigration

RoosEvgLT A PoPuuIsT. AHl

nUR critical evening neghbor is disturbed by
the dangerous and Populistic" -" doctrines
that it credits to President Roosevelt It says that
the golc DEMOCRATS viii be found opposing such
doctrines when advocated by either Bryan or Roose-
velt. Because it assumes that Roosevelt is support
ing some principles that Bryan is supposed to hold
therefore those ideas must be dangerous and Popu-
lstic." The attempt to link Roosevelt and Bryan is
one of the latest favore lodges of the opponents Of
the President who oppose his plans for the correction
of abuses which leading railroad men of the country
themselves admit are evils. Bryan has condemned
those evils; SO has Roosevelt; Bryan is a Populist
Hence Roosevelt must be tainted with the same brand
Of danger and Populism. This is fine logic
If the desire to remedy evils that exist in the con-
duct of railroads and in the management of interstate
business as conducted by the high financiers, is
dangerous and Popustio. - the people win wish
for little more of it.
That the corporation especially the railroads them
selves. know of this evil is shown by the rapid manner
in which they have determined to reform some of the
abuses. The decision to withhold passes from
politicians which has met with universal approval, is
but one indication Of the wish of the companies to bet
ter these conditions.
