 F0R THE EXPOSITION
Safe As a Lumber Wagon For Those Who Want to
 Ride In It.

The Knabenshue airship arrived yes terday morning as expected and Messrs. Duesler and Rakestraw will be busy this week getting things in or. der at the fair ground. There will necessarily be some little tinkering to repair the jolting up received by the machine in transportation and then there will be the arrangements to make for their temporary gas factory and the pitching of the big tent ''rouna house. for the aerial locomotive. There is one pleasing feature about the air ship business and that is that the right-of-way is always in order, no matter now deep the mud is or how great the washouts. The captive bal loon will be along later and those who prefer string to their transportation rather than an unlimited ticket, will have an opportunity to do business at the ticket office. There isn't quite so much glory in that sort of an expedi- tion, but to many it is worth some thing when they go ballooning, to have the assurance that they will get back again. It is not compulsory on fair visitors to ride in balloon. but all will feel better about 1t to know that they can if they want to.
 Mir Duesler was asked yesterday about the impulse some people have to jump out when they get to a dizzy height He says there is nothing to it, though a lot of people might think they would nave that feeling. Self preservation is the first law of nature. and it is always strong enough to hold the nervous people in the basket. Peo- pie think before they start that they might want to ump out, but when the time comes they always have another, think coming. Beside, the network of ropes prevents any rash conduct on the part of passengers. The captive balloon is as safe as a lumber wagon or it would not be permitted and the exhilaration of ride in it, comes from the temporary conviction that the rid CT is doing something dangerous.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show gave two exhibitions in Bisbee yesterday, and seemed to please those who at tended. The prices. unlike the Bar mum & Bailey circus. were normal, and the crowd was much larger than was expected by the management.
 The reproductions of the scenes of the early days were given with fidelity. and were really valuable as lessons of life in the frontier days. William F. Cody, in all his frontier trappings. and vita his soldierly bearing. was the center of attraction. and no doubt many went more for the purpose of seeing the famous scout and Indian fighter than for the purpose of seeing the exhibition

TO CONCILIATE THE NEGRO NOI-
Frs.

One of the most palpable, and at
the same time disgusting, efforts to
cOnciliate the negro voters of the
north and west, was the performance
of Charles Taft, brother of the presi-
Dental candidate-to-be of the Repub-
lican party. In his box at the theatre
in Chicago on Tuesday night, along
side of his daughter, in full view of
the large audience. sat a burly negro
delegate. 1t was an ocular demon
stration of the Taft love for the bro
Their in black-at election time.
Why a man of the culture of Taft
should sink himself and his daughter
by such an exhibition as this is be-
yond comprehension No one for a
moment believes that anything but
politics would have induced Taft to
invite the negro delegate to his box,
there to sit and chat with his daugh-
ter the centre of all eyes for a mat
ter of three hours, nothing except the
desire to appease the negro voters of
some of the northern states who are
disgruntled over the Brownsville in
cident. Every negro of intelligence
must recognize that such is the case.
1t would seem to reasonable mind
that the higher class of negro voters
would be offended by such a per-
formance rather than pleased by it,
and that they would be angered by
such an offensive effort to placate
their race and secure their votes. But
for the campaign soon to be the negro
delegate would have had no more OPP
portunity to sit in the Taft box at
the theatre, or to converse with Taft's
daughter, than he would have to
sprout wings of his own accord and
soar heavenward while in the flesh.
How such a palpable piece of decep-
ton as this pretended regard for the
negro can fool them is one of the
mysteries of human nature. Yet it
is not at all improbable that it will
have a considerable effect, and that
many negro voters will allow them
selves to be cajoled by the fact that
Candidate Taft's brother really per-
mitted a negro to sit with his daugh-
ter But there must be some self
respecting negroes of character who
will turn in disgust from such a
puerile and disgusting effort to make
their race forget principle and public
measures for a petty sop to their
social vanity.

only true way to success, and set them

The young men who are now leav-

Rosy tales of success without work

Oughly good lawyer, with a possible
Judgeship in view for middle life, but

reviews and leaders at the start, and
with the avOwed intention of using
journalism as a stepping stone to
literature, is beginning life fraudu-
lently and cannot succeed. Journal
ism is a difficult and exacting pro-
fesSiOn, which requires the best en-
ergies man can give to it, 1t is a
stepping stone to no other profess
sion.

A Hundred Years in Temperance.
New York WOrld.)

Temperance, which means modera-
ton, was a word taken at its value in
1905 Thus, in the society formed at
MOreau, Saratoga County, in April of
that year, it was provided that mem
bers should not drink rum, gin,
whiskey, wine or distilled spirits
except by advice of physician
or in case of actual disease (alsO eX-
cepting at public dinners), under pen
atty of % cents. provided
that this article shall not infringe on
any religious rite" At that time the
custom had not died away of serving
something warming at the ministers
ordination.
The Moreau society began with
fOrty-three members and lasted four
teen years. According to the accounts
it accomplished little. But it furnish
es the excuse for a centenary temper
ance session, now open at Saratoga,
at which the conversion of the whole
world to total abstinence is hopefully
predicted.
To preach even moderation was a
good deal in 1903. Not that there had
been no temperance talk anywhere be-
fore. AS early as the eleventh century
a Chinese Emperor caused all the
vines in his realm to be uprooted-a
radical step much ahead of the times.
But when the nineteenth century
opened it was still the thing to
drink hard liquor on most social oc-
casions, from christenings to barn
raisings..
Later than the Moreau date various
societies were formed for total alb
stinence. Prohibition was whispered
about, but the movements for legisla-
ton on that line were local until

None of the prohibition States Of
1868 was in the South; nearly all
those of 1908 are there Recent sue
cesses of the no-license movement
have arisen largely out of conditions
affecting cOlored labor. 1t is true,
as the World recently stated, that the
actual gains of temperance in a
hundred years have been due to in
fuences far other than sumptuary
laws. They are the better worth
celebrating for that fact.
