went to Indianapolis. There was a
great surprise amongst the Odd Fell

season, lasting six months of the

there is practically no rainfall, thus

try, the work of excavating for irri-
cation bitches being done with SHOW
els and baskets by the natives who
draw 10 cents for a days work of

making it cheaper to do the work by

EIvino Machines.

The news that c. NJ. Manley is to
make another attempt with the late
Prof. Langlcy's Inflated flying ma
chine finds the Wright brothers gen.
orally accepted as the first human
beings to achieve successful mechan-
ical flight. If only the "Buzzard'' had
not manifested its total depravity by
diving into the Potomac on its first
trial popular recognition of Langley's
service in this department of applied
science might have been as generous
as that accorded to other workers in
the same field. 1t must not be forgot
ten that smaller machines, built on the
same principles and under the same
auspices, few successfully time and
again years before any experimental
had trusted his own limbs to a pro-
PEELED acroplanc. The man-carryinS
machine has long lain idle. but is said
by Mr. Manley to be so little injured
that only a few days work will make
it ready for launching. If Fulton had
made siX-foot boats steam about in
still water. but died before the Cler-
mont could be made to navigate, his
memory would still deserve to be hon.
ored as that of the pioneer. For all
that, the latest design now ready for
c,nstruc' n, the helicoptere of Prof.
Wood OF Johns Hopkins, is the first
that abandons entirely the bird pat

Mineral Wealth of the South.

About onc-seventh of the mineral
production Of the entire country comes
from the southern states. OF btu
minOus coal, the most valuable min
eral, the south produces one-fourth,
ard Of iron about One-ninth. It's to-
tai coal resources amount to nearly
600 900, 900, 900 tons, or more than one
fourth of our estimated coal reserve
OF mineral chemical materials, the
south supplies more than onc-half,
chiefly phosphate rock, all of which is
produced in Florida, Tennessee and
South Carolina, and nearly one-thrd
of the mineral pigments. OF precious
stones the whole country produces only
$32J, 900 worth, with the south furnish
ing its fair share.
The showing in iron ore reserves is
quite as good; a safe minimum is g.
O0o,0OO.oOO tons, or nearly one-thrd of
the nations total. OF workable iron
ore the south contains one and one
half times as much as the famous
Lake Superior district, and this does
not include the deep-lying southern
ores unavoidable at present. But all
ores must be counted in any estimate
of iron reserve.
On basis of value of product the
south furnishes more than two
seventies of our oil and more than one
| sixth of our gas.-World's Work.

No "16O7" at Pemauuid.

Let us hope that nobody will be
allowed to paint 1907 on that tower
to be erected at historic Pemaquid.-
Kennebec Journal.
Why nOt?-Damariscotta Herald.
Why not? Simply because there Is
not the slightest historical authority
for the contention that Pemaquid was
settled or occupied by white people in
1907 or for a dozen years after that
date. In fact. there is ample evidence
that it was not occupied until after
1920. and this fact has been set forth
again and again by the leading
historical writer's in this country and
in England and frequently in papers
read before the Maine Historical
society. Yet certain enterprising
history takers, for reasons of their
own, have claimed that Pemaquid was
settled in 1907 or before, and have even
painted the date 1607' in great letters
upon a boulder OH the shore at that
point.
Nobody denies that Pemaquid is one
of the most interesting places for the
historian on the New England coast
and it has enough real and well
make unnecessary any of the prepos-
ferrous claims which have been made
in certain quarters and for certain
reasons regarding it. The POpham
colony, as everybody has been made
aware by the recently announced plans
to celebrate it's tercentcnnial in Au-
gusta was established in 1907 ana
is known that there were fishing ana
trading settlements at MOnhegan and
Damariscove but beyond being visited
by English sailors and by party OF
the POpham cOlonists who made only
a short stop, no settlement was maze
or fort erected at Pcmaquid until after
1920.
1t is q part of recorded history that
from that time forward until the end
Of the 18th century Pemaquid was the
scene of several successive forts and
of many stirring incidents. The his
torical student finds much of absorbing
interest in the fascinating and roman
tic story of Pemaquid, but it lis folly
to argue that in the ruins of these old
forts, or those of the settlement which
was around them, there are evidences
of an ancient civilization" or a
city which date as far back as the
settlement at Popham or earlier. Few
spots in Maine have SO much history
to the square inch as Pemaquid. The
known facts of its history are sufficient
and it is pity that they should be
confused and made ridiculous by
attempts to bolster up 1907" myth.
These are the reasons why we ex-
pressed the hope that the tower to be
erected there by the State will not be
treated as the big boulder has been.

Bryan, The Trimmer.

From the very moment that Mr..
than a year ago, made his famous
speech in Madison Square Garden, n.
radically opposed to his views relative

to again secure the Democratic presi-
abandon, practically, this part of his
political creed. This, however will be no

the Democrats Of the North he has lit

electoral votes in either of his cam

in this section he can afford to be
naughty, arrogant and dictatOrial, but
with the Democracy of the South
which supplied the Democratic party
with all its electoral votes at the last
national election it is an entirely diff

! AS is well known, the South never

support Mr.. Crisp of Georgia for

Representatives. Furthermore, they
have never been impressed with his
political views, for while the Demo-

differing very radically in their views

The Bryan Retrograde.
Pittsburg DiSDatch.)

The Honorable w. J. Bryan evil
IDENTIFY finds the advocacy OF Govern
mcnt ownership of railroads handl-
cap that it is desirable to get rid OF.
His last deliverancc on the subject Is
that Government ownership is not
an issue now" While he admits that
he is among those who think that the
ultimate solution he says that the
people will not accept it until there
has been q full test of the plan OF
regulation. AS regulation cannot be
sufficiently tried in the next year,.
Mr.. Bryan says, there is no dis
position to make Government owner
ship an issue in 19OS.' Thus Mr..
Bryan undertakes to explain away the
Madison Square Garden speechDf less
than q year ago.
But the explanation vii! nottserve.
Government ownership will inevitably
become an issue If a man Is nomi-
mated for President who has put him.
self on record as believing that to be
1.-THE ultimate solution" That can be
plainly seen by turning the cause
around. Suppose the once inimitablc
Chauncey Depew to have made a
speech declaring his belief that the
ultimate solution from his point of
view was to have the Government
run by syndicate of railroads and
trusts; say that he afterwards modl-
fled this by asserting his recognition
that the scheme of regulation must
first be tried; and that he was nomi-
mated for President on that modifica-
ton of his earlier attitude. Would
not Mr.. Bryan and all opponents OF
having the Government owned by the
corporations declare that his election
would imply that result? They would
certainly be justified in making that
assertion.
The real significance of this avowal
is that it makes a new disclosure of
the Bryan qualities that ought to go
far toward dispelling the Bryan
charm on the Democracy. 1t reveals
his disposition to profess or abandon
alleged principles as he thinks they
will gain or lose support.
