BEWARE OF FIRST STEP ON DOWN GRADE.
By e. q. MinnIck

The down grade" seems to me to be an apt
expression. 1t means an unsupported slipping
down the hill In life. l Imagine that there
are few people who have not had a little ex-
perlence of it. Millions get upon the down
grade, and slide far enough to find themselves
in awkward and uncomfortable positions as
more or less failures In life

When Shall We Fly?

Interested rs | an in all matters
pertaining to aerial flight, The FIJI
ture aeroplane is always much IN
my mind. And that future is in
my opinion most promising one.
do not think the genera! public
yet realize Tint the problem of
| what they ca!i The flying machinc
! has been solved. Nevertheless, i.
has. The moment !, motcr capable
of generating one horse power for
every 9 pounds Of weight WAS dis
! covered, flying became practical
possibility. And the petrol driven
motor is capable of doing this. Of
course, much remains to he done,
but already the aeroplane, which,
must not be in any way confused
with any machine supported by a
! balloon, is further advanced than
the motor car twelve years ago.
| Therefore, in view of the achieve
ments of the Wright brothers and
other eXperinienters. and, above
all, III view Of the discovery Of the
| practical motor, | see no reason
| why in ten years, time aeropianes
should not be almost rs much IN
use rs motor cars. That may
sound a rather strong assertion.
But who would have believed ten
years ago in the number aad capa-
bilities of motor cars CT to day
What will be the effect of 4 general
introduction OF aeropIanes!
Well, one effect | firmly believe
will be to shorten, if not altogeth-
er to put a stop to. war, so fright
ful and devastating will be the
power of aeroplanes in warfare.
Then they will revolutionize street
traffic. do not say they will do
away with street vehicles, bur, by
greatly lesscning their numbers,
aeroplancs will help to solve the
many traffic problems all big towns
have to face,
So far us commercial utility is
concerned, | do not think we cal
expect much from aeroplanes fol
Il long time. After all, motor.
driven land vehicles are as YET
little used commercial y, and one
can hardly expect the aeroplane:
as a carrier of merchandise to ad
vance more rapidly than the motor
car.
But | do believe that 10 ter
years. time the aeroplane, as {
means of transit, will be almost al
much in use as is the motor Cal
to-day; whilst, as an enginr Of war
it will be infinitely more powerful
than any land engine yet or evel
likely to be devised.-From Pear

The Republics jefferson City
correspondent has got the nerve
though. In an effort to divert the
credit for obtaining three times as
much interest on the states surplus
funds than any of his Democratic
predecessors from State Treasurer
Gmelich, this correspondent writes
that the Treasurer could do moth
ing else than he did, since he was
acting under a Democratic law
passed way back in Governor
Francis administration, that The
Republicans were trying to make
a little political capital by stealing
a Democratic credit. We would
just like to have the Republic ex-
plain, if Treasurer Gmelich in OBJ
tanning these heavy increments of
interest only by complying with
the law, what his Democratic pre-
decessors in Office were guilty of!
1t is perhaps shame to do it.,
it is so easy. The Republics cor
respondent indicts all former State
treasurers with dereliction of
duty that has occasioned loss to
the State of many thousands of
dollars. 1t was not until Treasur-
er Gmelich took charge of his Of
fee that the surplus state funds
began to earn the interest that the
law requires the repositories to
pay. The further elucidation .oi
just why these funds under Demo.
cratic administration were not de.
posted in accordance with the
law should prove interesting. As
campaign year approaches it be-
comes plain that our Democratic
friends are going to try to film

pie of Missouri large sums O.

Our high financiers who assume
TO control the money affairs of
this country should begin to do a
little hard thinking, with the
present public resentment against
the liquor traffic as an object les
sou. The United States is appar
emily the only country which is
periodically afflicted with cramps
in its circulating medium, which
induces us to believe that the
causes Of these troubles do not a
rise from any defect in our fiscal
system, which is as sound as that
of any other country ON the globe,
but are brought about through the
chicane of our so-called fnanciers.
These men, like those who have
been at the head of the liquor
traffic are both arrogant and ruth
less, seeking to obtain only the
ends they have in view at what
eyer cost to the people. The peo-
pie have taken hold of the liquor
traffic and are beginning to regu-
late it by wiping it cut Of existance
as fast AS public opinion concretes
in public action. These periodical
financial panies, due to no under
lying national fault, are setting the
people to thinking along this line,
and it will not take many more
such ''flurries" as we are now pass
ing through before this thought
results in legislation that will wipe
the high tinancier out of existence.
