Use and Abuse Of Roads.

Reporters and arito faddists who
Paris auto expedition lost no time in
telling TIE public about the mudhoies
and other tough spots for the machines
which have been struck in the spectac
ular tour across the continent. Some
enthusiasts are saying that the trip
through the states will be an object
lesson for legislators. for the authori-
ties and for the general public on the
necessity of expending vast sums for
good roads. Perhaps.
Meanwhile another object lesson in
this very matter of good roads and au-
tomobiles has not escaped the attention
of people interested In the maintenance
Of good roads. 1t has been demon
strated that auto traffic is rapidly de-
struying the good roads which commu-
mites have created and supported Mt
an expense which is great local bur-
den. The flying machine Injuries the
roadbed always and never at any time
adds to its efficiency. as does the wide
tired, heavy dray, which helps to COM
press the structure and render the
surface firm and In a measure water
proof. The auto sucks up and scatte-s
to the winds that fine gravel and
metal laden dust which the loaded
wagon sets all the harder between and
over the top dressing of stone. The
touring autoist never contributes in
the slightest degree to the repair of the
roads, which he spoils faster than any
other user. If the complaints Of the
autoists are to be taken in good faith
as reasons for putting more money and
more labor into the public highways.
the local authorities should go to the
root of the business and compel the
long distance tourist to put up his
share of the cost. He'll grunble. of
course, over giving up so cents or
dollar at the tollgate and then throw
away fifty times that amount in
junket at the next town. Since money
is so easy with him. let him pay as he
goes, road repairs and all.

Rowdy Youngsters.

The mobbing of a New York restau-
rant by hungry school children whom
the proprietor invited to free feed
is not an isolated case of rOwdyism in
the very young boys and girls of Amer
lean cities and towns. These children
were taken from the street and treated
royalty by a kind hearted host, and
they returned his kindness by wreck
ing the restaurant. 1t cannot be ar
gued that starvation had turned these
children into brutes. Otherwise star
walton must be the rule among the
boys and girls seen in the streets of
most all cities and large towns. Their
conduct is generally rude to the point
of rowdyism, and but for the presence
of police or other guardians of order
there would be scenes as scandalOus
as that in the New York restaurant re-
ported every day.
Children who get far away from
home in the streets of large towns and
ming!e indiscriminately with the crowd
soon lose veneration for their elders
and respect for the rights of any one
upon whom they think it is safe to
impose. Often older boys and girls and
even adults encourage rowdyism IN
the young as an evidence of spirit
Perhaps the enforced restraint of the
schoolroom has something to do with
these too frequent outbursts, an evil
by no means confined to the children
of the poorer class of homes. In fact,
the middle class children are the most
insolent and uncomfortable. and the
nearer they approach to the upper
class the worse they are. These latter
will respect the rights and decencies
of their own homes, but disregard the
rights of all outside and thus set bad
example to those beneath them in the
social scale.

Our Pacific "Sphere."

The Alaska Yukon-P Pacific exposition.
which has been given favorable con-
sideration by congress, will exploit for
the first in suitable way our
sphere of influence in and along the
western ocean. Other exhibitions have
shown visitors the life and the
achievement of our Pacific coast COM
munities. The Seattle exposition next
year will illustrate the conditions and
progress and display the resources of
the Pacific states and Alaska. Hawaii
and the Philippine Islands as well.
1t is cause for regret that so few
Americans have even reasonably
complete conception of the vast devel-
opment possible in Alaska and the
Philippines. The potentialities of the
Hawa ian group are better known. But
the value of the Philippine archipelago
and of the great territory we bought
from Russia is still only vaguely I'M
dersto0d The Seattle exposition. with
its Alaskan and Philippine features,
will therefore be educational TO de-
gree which will more than justify its
cost.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

In asking committee OF MS
townsmen to take charge of his cam
paign for the United States senator
ship, Congressman Jones wrote:
The committee must not make
any promises of any kind relating
to future appointments, or in return
for political services in the campaign.
''It must not make any combina-
tion with any candidate for any other
office, nor any deal or trade of any
kind in order to secure support for
me.
1T is my intention and desire to
have my campaign conducted with
the strictes regard for both the let
ter and the spirit OF the direct pri-
mary law
That is an index to a campaign
that will be as fair and as clean as
any ever waged for public office in
this state. 1t is the basis on which
all campaigns should be conducted
but aren't 1t leaves the candidate
free, if successful, to administer his
Office cleanly. 1t places him under
obligations only to the people, where
his obligation properly belongs. Is
there any fit comparison between an
officer who is bound only to the peo-
pie and one who has signed away be-
forehand all the duties of his office,
save answering to the roll call, to
political cabal that holds participa-
ton in the pie its first duty?
If Congressman Jones is elected to
the senate, it will be by the vote OF
the people. His campaign is remark
able in some ways. He has broken
away from all accepted ideas of can
didacy as respects the senatorship.
He will spend little money because
he has little to spend. What sup
porters he has and will have are
those who admire him and the work
he has done. The state seems to be
full OF them. He has no press bu-
reau, he is buying no newspapers.
nor does he propose to buy votes or
advantage by promises of federal po-
sitions, or by combinations with
candidates. Ii there Were 10 other
reasons for his success, these ought
to be suff1cient-News.

alton of their rights, their possibilities
or their duties toward each other. The
American government is spending
much money and effort for the educa-
ton of the young Filipinos and is
making a showing of splendid progress
and Filipino independence cannot come
until the Filipino youth, now in the
schools, are in charge of the national
affairs. The limit Of chaos would be
reached If n attempt we're made at
this time to place the Filipinos in
charge of their own affairs. Intelli-
gent Americans, however anxious
they may be to have the nation re-

not be deceived by a demagogic plea
for the Filipinos which is designed only
to catch votes and which could not
be adopted except to the disgrace Of

BOOMING AIRsHIP SCHEMES.
Some Remarks on Gas Bags as Factors
in Future Wars.
Pittsburg Dispatcl

IlllSDuTB DlSpdlCH.
An anonymous officer of the signal serv>
ice is quoted as saying that the foreign
airships Of war are aerial vessels under
perfect control. that a foreign enemy could
transport them by war vessel TO this coun-
try, initiate them aboard ship and send
them over cities, dealing death and de-
struction while the war fleet kept out of
range Of coast guns. He should calm his
fright, possess his soul in patience, take
his sedative cocktail and go to bed and
sleep It off.
The dirigible balloon is a delusion. 1t
obstinately refuses to be dirigible except
in the most favorable conditions. In a
somnolent atmosphere, or in the presence
OF gentle zephyrs. 1t will to a limited eK-
tent answer to the guiding hand. But let
a gale arise, or a hurricane, or even a
stiffish breeze, such as is the delight Of
aqueous yachtsmen, and the 'dirigible'
balloon is the most fractions animal that
can be imagined. 1t is far more dangerous
10 its crew and passengers than to all else.
And, granted that such balloons could be
transported to a point safe from shore
guns and there inflated, it may be inno-
Gently asked by those less profound than
anonymous officers Of the signal service:
What would our own war fleets be doing

there would be a goodish sea battle before
the war balloons could be inflated.
Before navies of the air can be made
effectively there must be some practical in
vention vastly superior to the diriglble bal
loon which is not dirigible. More than a
quarter OF a century ago Prof. S. p. Lang
ley constructed the first aeroplane and
made It fly. He used no gas bag thai
was sure TO be the sport Of every breeze.
He adopted the soaring bird as his model
and was as certain his theory was the
correct one as Calico was that the earth
turned on its axis and revolved in its orbit
around the sun. His theory and invention
have been adopted by all advance aerolo-
gists. Santos- Dumont, who made the first
successful flights with what is called a
dirigible balloon. which nights were Of
small importance, has abandoned the gas
bag as a practical possibility and has pro-
claimed that air navigation for practical
purposes can be accomplished by means
OF the aeroplane, which defies wind and
weather
The government would be wise TO look
alone to the a~eroplane. and devote money
TO its development, instead OF wasting Il
. gas bags, which from their very
characteristic Of a lighter-than-air creature
must be the victim OF all the eight winds
Of the heavens.
