THE COLORADO PARADOX.

Rev. Henry \. Ruchtel, chancellor
of the University of Colorado and one
Of the leading Methodist ministers of
the state, has just been inaugurated
governor in a Methodist church in
Denver.
The election of Rev. Buchtel as gov
ernor is said to be due entirely to his
personal merit. He is not a politician
in the accepted sense. He is said to
be clean, high-minded, liberal, fear
less minister. ready to grapple with
wrong and evil, whether social or po-
litical and did not sell his soul and
body TO secure the office.
His election seems to have been a
reyulsion or a rushing to the other
extreme, in Colorado As far as the
governor has power it is expected
that he viii undo many of the things
which the corruptionists have done in
the past fcw years. And judging from
his majority in the election, the peo-
pie are with him.
So the situation there is interesting.
With clean, conscientious minister
as governor and a leader Of the smell
Jer trust I'm the United States senate,
Colorado presents a political paradox
which viii be watched with interest.
That the same people. the same
voters Of great state should select a
governor whose only qualifications
were cleanliness Of character and pur-
ity Of motives, and at the same time
permit the sale of seat in the senate
for 100000, is past comprehension.

INJUSTICE OF CONGRESS.

It is wrong for congress to refuse to
open the rivers and dredge the har-
bors Of the United States to make
them ready for navigation. 1t is a
disgrace to delay this work until To-
calities in sheer necessity are forced
to raise money by public subscription
and state appropriations to carry on
public works.
It would be just as reasonable to re-
quire the people of the different To-
calities in which government troops
are stationed, to raise the money with
which to maintain the army. as to
force communities to raise money with
which to open rivers to navigation.
The national government is the log
ical and only source Of power and
authority in public Improvements and
it is unjust to force communities to
burden themselves with public ex-
penses. The use of rivers in navi-
CATION is not confined to localities
The public uses them freely. just as
the army is for the protection of all
che people. so are open rivers for the
universal benefit IF the people.

UNLUCKN FRIDAY.

The superstition which regards Fri
day as unlucky originally came from
an ancient custom. Many years ago
it was usual to observe Friday as a
festival day in honor of the goddess
Freya. Those who did not give up
this day to honoring the goddess ana
who pursued their own inclinations
We're supposed to incur the wrath Of
Freya and to be doomed to i'll luck.
The superstition remained after the
explanation had been forgotten.
In Spain and Mexico Tuesday is
considered the unlucky day and in
Scandinavia it is Thursday
In France the tradition that Friday
is an unlucky day is strong. Seamen
will not sail on this day and there
are few marriages.
\ strange contrast prevails in Scot
land, where marriages on Friday eX-
ceed those of any other day by 80
per cent

Air-Ships;
For Navy
EACH BATTLESHIP TO CARRY
FROM TWO TO FIVE READY
FOR USE IN TEN MIN
UTES' TIME.

jamestown, Va, Aug. 1.-THE diri-
gible airships will be auXiliaries TO
United States warships within five
years is the prediction of Captain
Thomas r Lovelace of New York, an
aeronaut and former commander in
the Panama navy. This prediction
came after conference today between
Captain Lovelace, Israel Ludlow OF
New York, Milton Beachy of San Fran
cisco and the officers of the battleship
Missouri, now at anchor in Hampton
Roads. The proposition to equip the
warships with airships is an original
one with Captain Lovelace and 1t is
said has met the approval of the naval
officers.
The plan may be presented to Secre-
tary Taft in few days with the In
Gorscmcnt of many of the naval Off
GERS. The arships are to be carried on
u collapsiblc platform on the super
structure of the vessel. where they can
he easily inflated with hydrogen, and
II Is said can be launched from the
ship in ten minutes. While 1t is
claimed by Captain Lovelace that air.
ships will have the same destructive
qualities as torpedo boat, the great
est advantage in having them will be
in signaling, taking observations and
photographs. The cost, he says, will
lie small, as the hydrogen can be man
lfactured on the airship and pumped
back into the tank when the airship
returns.
II is proposed to compress the hy-
| drogen In air tanks for Immediate use,
working the same system that is now
/ used in handling water tight doors on
the ships Captain Lovelace, VINO has
seen eleven years service in the navies
Of different countries, declares the
proposition a feasible one and says
that naval officers and enlisted men
can easily learn to navigate the air
ships.
II expect" he said, "in very short
time TO see every battleship In the
United States navy equipped with from
two TO five airships."
