The increased responsibilities of gov
ernment which will come when aerial
locomotlon has been perfected have
been to an extent set forth by Captain
Ferber of the French army, who eX-
horts his country to diligence in pro-
vision against the perils of the future.
Captain Ferber shows most conclusive
ly that with aerial flight an easy ac-
complishment the energies of the gov
ernment must be redoubled to protect
society against the smuggler, the anar-
chist, the criminal, whatever his pc
culiar sphere Of action. He explains
most lucidly that an aerial patrol will
be necessary to guard the frontier
against those who would evade the Gus
toms duties by skimming over the tops
of fortiications and other impediments
along the frontier, and that the police
must be provided with flying machines
duly equipped with weapons of offense
in order to intercept and embarrass
the smugglers aforesaid. Services Of
an aerial police will be needed also
to regulate the speed limit Of travellers
as well as to prevent anarchistic gen.
tlemen in alrships from sailing leisure
ly over town and dropping bombs re-
gardless of consequences. Patrols will
be employed likewise to check undeslr-
able immigration and to perform other
duties heretofore connected with their
calling on the earth's surface. The
scene of operation will be shifted, but
the duties will be practically the same.
In view of these requirements 1t would
almost appear that the benefits to be
derived from mastery Of the air are
fairly offset by the inconvenience, for,
unhappily, the criminal as well as the
virtuous citizen profits by the advance
ment of science. And what would it
avail citizen of Chicago If, returning
from the theater, he is held up 500 feet
above the corner of North State and
Erie streets, with the absolute certainty
| that the policeman Is at the other end
| Of his aerial beat or Is refreshing him
self elsewhere? And to patrolmen and
mounted police must be added a flying
constabulary, a provision which has
not been noted In the new charter, but
which Is a foregone necessity, regard
less Of expense In short all forces of
protection must be doubled, whether
applied to a standing army, the Gus
toms officers or the municipal police
force. In view of Captain Ferber's
warning and the unmstakable justice
of his conclusions, the responsibilities
of the future are not likely to reassure
timid human being. To Paul's ia
nous list of perils, Of waters, robbers
heathen, city, wilderness, ETC., etc.
must now be added perils of the air and
the accompanying horrors recounted
Even Paul did not apparently realize
how comparatively fortunate he was.

The Deer Fly.

A peculiar looking fly, with long,
thin body and black dotted wings, buz-
zed on one of the windows Of North
western elevated car the other day. NO
body noticed 1t until a man, VINO got
on at Chicago avenue, suddenly left
his seat, went across to the window
and scooped up the fly In his hand. lie
examined 1t closely for minute, then
he explained to a man sitting near that
the insect was species Of deer fly rarely
found outside of the Wisconsin woods

cago was a novelty. said the naturalist

SERGEANT HART. the center of the at,
tack. With the speed and agility of
wildcat, he ran up the pole waving
the flag Of the Union defiantly. With
the guns of the enemy directed upon
him, he nailed the flag to the top.
1t was the first deed of heroism in
the Civil War. The next day the coun-
try rang with the news of the firing
upon Fort Sumter and the heroism of
Peter Hart. There were thousands in
the conflict that followed who risked
their lives just as he had done. But
who shall say that it was not in many
cases the result Of his example?
The first man who ventures to do a
deed Of notable bravery in a struggle
lacks the incentive of precedent. His
headlong, reckless daring may be
counted as naught by the DEVELOPMENTS
Of the succeeding day. But there were
many who realized the symbolism OF
Hart's act.
The knowledge that men were ready
to risk their lives in order that tbev
might raise their flag from the dust
inspired them to follow the example OF
the man who nailed up the flag at Fort
Sumter.

President Roosevelt saluted the Por-

are not really that, nor under the ju-

of the earth, they are In real sense

CONCENTRATION OF GREAT WEALTH.
By William SuIzer, M. c.

The total population Of the United States is
about S0,000,000. The total aggregate wealth
is about $65,000000,000, and it appears that
out of that population less than 25,000 per-
sons own more than onehaIf the aggregate
wealth Of the land. And this has all been
brought about in the last twenty-five years
by combinations and conspiraces called trusts
fostered by special legislation and nurtured

necessity AN ELEMENT OF SUCCESS.
By James J. Hill,

The time for a man to retire from
active business depends on condi-
tions. Some men are young at 70,
others are old at so. The method
of living, the occupation, habits, sue
cesses or failures oil have their in
huences.
There is one thing that young men
feel is burden and hardship, and l
want to tell them they are wrong.
