The Coming Airship.

We should hesitate about turning up
our noses at the fat, impotent flying
machine which, though it now sticks
closer to the earth than poor relation
to a rich uncle, may some day force
us to turn up our noses to see 1t as 1t
condescends to look down on us.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow,
and possibly tall flights may yet grow
from big, unwieldy balloons. You nev-

IT is only ten years ago that the auto
mobile picked itself up bodily by the
tires and lifted itself out of the toy
class, and who can tell but what the
flying machine may give itself similar
treatment? Then, again, the future
looks like the Inhabitants of Africa

BLIND TIGERS AND UNCLE SAN

Representative Bowie, of Ala
bama, has brought out some in
teresting "blind tiger" statistics
in the present investigation
brought about by the proposed
legislation in Congress against
the issuance of Government IL
censes in sections where the SELL
ing of liquor is prohibited by
state laws. Mr.. Bowie showed
that in eight States the internal
revenue officials had issued IL ,370
Government licenses to persons
in prohibition districts. Each of
these meant "blind tiger".
The deduction is clear that the
Government is therefore engaged
in the business of breeding this
very objectional animal. Mr..
Bowie's figures for Kentucky
showed 2,O70 "blind tigers' fos-
tered by Federal license. OF
course there are other "blind
tigers"and of course many "boot-
leggers" do not possess Govern
ment. licenses. But the Federal

CHANCE.


Unto the music made by Chance
The brightest in the world must dance;
Unto our pet and polished plan
Chance ties a bright and polished can.
And when we feel puffed up ami strong
Chance plays horse with US right along.
When we have laid our plans to get
A lot of fishes in our net
Chance very rudely comes along
And with the utmost nonchalance
Upsets the schemes we cooked with care
And leaves us dangling In the air.
You see a fellow big as noon
And puffed up like toy balloon:
He thinks his great and massive brain
Alone his progress can explain.
Chance put him there. and it will call
Some day and hand him out a fall.
We take flier on the crop;
Chance boosts the price or let's IL drop.
We put our money In a show
Chance kills the thing or makes 1t so.
The wise men tell us in advance;
We take wife-we take chance.
Chance rules the camp, the court. the
grove,
The barracks and the Kitchen stove;
Our very brightest dreams 1t halts
And makes our plans turn somersaults.
Though at its mandates we may scoff,
II shows us just where We get Off.

A CHECK TO ANARCHY.

The first sensible step toward the
repression of the anarchist evil was
taken short time ago when the Ital-
ian government warned the United
State that a number of this class OF
embryo criminals had departed from
that country.
1t is the first time that any Euro.
pean nation has ever done so, and il
will probably operate as an example
for the others to follow.
1t is well to have it understood
among the nations across the water
that while our doors swing open tt
every worthy man or woman wht
seeks an asylum in this country, thu
bastard who comes with dirk in his
sleeve or bomb in his grip will be
refused admission, once his character
is known.

No mercy should be shown a man
whose maneyoleRce against his fell
bowman is such that he would destroy
the innocent and the worthy in order
that those against whom he has an
imaginary grievance may be taught
the horrors of his creed.
The man who has educated himself
to the point where he believes that
every man in power is an enemy to
society, it is time to put on such a
one the iron hand of civilization and
law.
! 1t is no idle statement that the
sentiment of anarchy is growing in
this country among a certain class
who are led into excuses of denuncia-
ton only ito be fiattered by the laugh
ter of the rabble %-s.
The purest government that could
be established by the finite mind of
man, if it were constantly assailed
with malicious falsehoods, would be-
come weakened in the generation
shown it by the people, and as this
generation became less, the govern
ment would become weaker, until it
tumbled in the dust, a monument of
ruins to the preachers of calamity.
The class of anarchist who come
from the lowest criminal resorts of
italy and other European countries
believe that they will find ready and
willing comfort and sympathy in those
In our own land who by their con-
slant assaults upon the country's in
situations, proclaim themselves as
members of the same anarchistic faith.
The European anarchist is on low
scale Intellectually and morally. He
does not possess the intelligence to
discriminate between the principles of
a government in which the people rule
and the most absolute despotism. He
is unable to distinguish between the
laws and institution of any country
and it's rulers. In his crude Judgment,
society is wrong, and that men of his
class-men too worthless to work
should in some unexplainable way re-
ceive portion of the good things of
the world without remuneration. Not
receiving this, there develops in his
evil and uncultured mind a hatred
against the people whom he consid-
ers responsible for his unhappy con-
dition. ~.
| The acme of his distorted Judgment
is reached when he decides that men
in official positions are the cause of
his condition, and that by taking their
lives the evils will be remedied. This
course shows the depths of his ig-

THE FUTURE OF SAN FRANCISCO

1t is too soon to speculate upon the
destiny of the once fair city which now
lies mass of ruins and ashes upon
the shore of the western ocean. Will
San Francisco arise from its ashes
and again rear her head as the proud
mistress of the west is a question that
cannot be answered.
1t is hardly to be expected that
american enterprise which knows NO
defeat, will permit the site to become
as desolated as it was when the dis
coyery of gold caused, the old mission
to spring into a city in a day. = =

ward rebuilding can be made. The

norance and at the same time shows
how distorted are his views of society.
Possessed of the cunning Of the saw
age, he spends his time in devising
ways and means of reaching some
man whose only crime is the fact that
he has been called to serve the pub.
lie, and a nation mourns the death Of
a president whom the people idolized.
The perverted nature Of the das-
tardly coward is such that the scorn
and contempt of the people sound like
the plaudits accorded conquering
hero. 5}E>3
Those who have paved the way for
this distorted view join in the denun-
citation so long as the denunciation
remains sensational, and then like the
SOW returns to her wallowing in the
mire.
1t is these things which make this
country so attractive to the European
anarchist. He never reforms, and
famed by. the charges of oppression
and corruption against the govern
ment, his inflamed passions develops
mania for the destruction of So
ciety.
The government has used every ex-
ertion to keep such dangerous char
acters from landing, but, as rule,
the authorities have not been able
to get much advance information. If
the plan adopted by Italy becomes the
rule, these moral and political degen-
crates will find it much more difficult
to secure foothold in nation where
the liberty of the individual becomes
the restraint of society.
