The marvellous achievements of the
ali.sships of the Wright brothers have
been the admiration of America and
Europe for some time. The prediction
was made a short time ago that aero

declared that air craft would, i'll the
next decade cross the Atlantic with
safety. These predictions indicate the
expectations aroused by the successful
experiments OF the Wright brothers.
The accident by which Lieutenant Sell

riously injured may delay the realiza-

gerry long.

The News has for Years followed
with great interest the various note-
mcnts In the world for peace. And this
is natural. For the Gospel of the Re-
dcemei is the message of peace to the
World. Neverfw this made clearer. than
when the glorious revelation was given
to the Saints assembled eon Fishing
River. June 22. 1894. In that revelation.
the people were told to sue for peace"
and Gift up an ensign of peace, and
make proclamation for peace unto
the ends of the earth" That is the es-
sclice of the Gospel. We realize that
there Will be peace when the causes for
strife are removed, ;ind that is the
very reason why the Gospel was given
10 the world In this age-to cstab-
llsh Justice and truth and obedience
10 the divine laws. That means peace

THE COMMODITY CLAUSE.
Pueblo chieftain.


The recent decision of the federal
circuit court sustained the right Of
railroad companies to carry coal be-
longing to the companies for sale to
others IT was established that railroad
companies had right, so far as fed
eral law is concerned, to own and work
coal mines, and to carry the coal for
their own use, but law undertook to
prohibit them from carrying coal for
sale to other persons. Tho case will
undoubtedly be appealed to the SUI
preme court, but it seems probable up
on the face of the argument in the
decision of the circuit court that its
ruling will be confirmed. This result
will doubtless be disappointment to
many persons who think that a rail-
road company ought not to be in a
position to compete with other pro-
ducers In the sale of coal or other ner-
chandise, but the provision in the fed
eral constitution which prohibits the
taking of a mans property without
compensation is Just and reasonable.

When Kerr Hardie, the English labor
leader, crosses the ocean to tell the
workingmen of this country that they
should enter politics" it seems like
carrying Goals to Newcastle. If
workingmen had not been in politics
these many years past, we would not
have had the history of free govern-
ment and of national progress that has
transformed the map of the world,
Besides, it is presumption on the part
of Keir Hardie to assume that work

division of society that must be di-
rected and lied" like a lot of sheep
that know not the pasture. We are all
workingmen in this country, and we
are all "in politics. Mr.. Hardie's
mission in this respect has been fore
stalled by at least a century.

ARE WE FULLY CIVILIZED?

The Christian Register is of the
opinion that many things remain to
be done before Americans can face the
rest OF the human race and claim to
belong to the advance guard Of ciVili-
zution. AS proof of the truth of this
proposition 1t refers to the recent
burning of a human being, byfa mob.
There is, the Register observes, as far
as we know, no savage tribe in the
world which would now be guilty of
such a crime. There is much which
the war of races which we have been
carrying on for many years.
A recent lynching in Mississippi IL
illustrates very clearly how far we are
from the ideal state of civilization in
this regard. A Mississippi woman was
murdered, and q mob undertook to
avcnge the murder. The entire story
reveals conditions very far from civil
lied, The husband of the murdered
woman was in Jail for resisting an
officer. He sent Il message to his wife,
and the message was entrusted to a
negro who was Intoxicated at the time.
The negro was under a jail sentence,
but had been released as a "trusty."
The New orleans Picayune, says the
release of prisoners in this way has.
become a serious abuse, without au-
thority of law. Now, this drunken
''trusty, was sent on an errand to a
home where two women were living.
