When America Economics.

The worlds business arrangements
are keyed up, so to say, to the recog-
milton that Americans are a nation of
wealthy spendthrifts. If at any time
the Americans cease to spend so freely,
the world feels the difference promptly.
1t quickly travels the circuit of the
globe, a wave of depression.
Last falPs panic caused, first, a great
decrease of our imports, which still per
sists, to the discontinue of foreign
manufacturers. Then, later, it caused
a great reduction in the tide of tourist
travel to the Old World. Now it de-
velops that the Americans in Europe
have not been spending so much money
rs in former years, per capita, They
are. travelling rather ION the cheap
for Americans. Which means, ii truth,
they are using some seuse, and
travelling more nearly in the fashion
that contemptuous critics of their
cheapness would themselves travel-if
they travelled at all.

New Zealand, Where Meet the
East and West.

When, according to Macauley, Lon
don should be forgotten, and a New
ZeaIander standing on the ruins of
London Bridge should gaze upon the
destroyed city, the New Zealander who
viii stand there will not be the half
clad savage whom the great historian
and novelist had in mind. Today New
Zealand Is known all over the civilized
world as the most remarkable land in
this, that its government has adopted
more measures of a generally and gen
timely protective and paternal char
acter than any other land, and has
made them succeed.
Today our sailors are enjoying the
hospitality of New Zealand, than which
there is none freer, fuller or kiBdIier
under the sun. 1t is the meeting q the
Caucasian east and the CauCl sian
west, or what for the purpose Of
designation we may determine the eau
casian East and West. In our land the
aborigines have become practically sub
merged, as they have in New Zealand.
As our men grasp hands with the
British in New Zealand there rises a
feeling which we hope viii never rise
too high-for accompanying their
friendship for one another is the bug
bear of the Mongol, which in the Pacific
will not down.
Australasia is the white mans lend
closest to the Chinese and japanese
ports, and there it is the most drastic
action has been taken against Mon
golian immigration. There, as here, is
a fear of the Asiatics' endless indus
try, economy, patience, and persistence
"a persistence that goes further than
that of the mere individual or nation,
and extends to the race-the persistence
OF fecundity and survival, ike an ever
rising tide overcoming every barrier.
With all western lands complaining
of race suicide, the contrast with the
east becomes doubly startling. There,
despite hunger and flood and crowded
lands, and farms so small that they
seem to US like toys, there IS no racial
suicide. Nor Is subsistence inadequate
for them, on which our people would
starve.
Meeting place of east and west. Let
us hope their meetings shall always be
as friendly!

Edison Has Flying Machine
That Opens Eyes of Aviato,
Wizard of the Electrical World Didn't Know Its Exact
Type Until Farman Saw in Plans the De-
sign of HeIicopter.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1-Thomas A.
Edison, who means TO devote the rest or
his life TO pure science in many fields,
instead Of electrical inventions for COM
mercial purposes, has taken up the
study Of aeronautics, and some day the
inventor may turn out a practical flying
Machine that viii be as widely in use
as the bicycle,
1t only developed yesterday, when he
was visited by Henry Farman. the avi-
ator, that some years ago Mr.. Edison
worked out a plan for "a helicopter.
which IS a flying machine that shoots
straight up into the air. II is not steer
able. and isn't of much use except with
a parachute attachment Without the
latter a person who got up in the ali IN
a helicopter would have his choice OF
staying there of coming down with a
smash.
The helicopter has a vertically ar
ranged propeller driven b. a motor. II
is the force of the whirling propeller
against the air that drives 1t upward
Mr.. Edison's interest in aeronautics
has revived in the past few days, and
he was eager TO have Mr.. Farman's eX-
perienced judgment OF the value Of his
ideas The visit OF the aviator TO the
inventor was arranged by Augustus
Post and William ]. Hammer. of the
Aero Club Of America.
Eagerly Accepts.
Though upset by the financial collapse
OF the scheme by which he was 20 tour
this country and give exhibitions in his
aeroplane, Mr.. Farman eagerly accepted
the invitation TO visit Mr.. Edison. He
went along with Mr.. Hammer and took
Mrs. Farman, also two friends. Mr. and
Mrs. Triaca-
7 didn't set out to plan a helicOpter,
an orthOplen, an aeroplane, or anything
else with a name. All tried to do was
TO work out something that would fly"
Eyes; you can fly in that" replied
Mr.. Farman-
7 am glad to hear II. but won't. -
said Mr.. Edison, 81 am willing 10 the
orize about flying machines, but draw
the line at demonstrating them"
Mr.. Farman explained TO Mr.. Edison
the value Of the aerOplane and its ad-
vantages over the heiicopter. Mr.. Ed
son thought the hS!icOpter had one ad-
vantage in that T. didn't require wheels
10 start it's flight Mr.. Farman eX-

than starting. He explained by saying
that If his aeTOplaue were brought
down to earth while going at speed OF
thirty miles an hour and came TO a.
fun stop the moment II hit the ground
everything would go 20 smash
Mr.. Edison at once suggested that a
combination aeroplane and hencopter
would be advantageous. The propeller

National Apathy: Local Interest

A remarkable reversiOn of political
interest from national to State affairs
marks the earlier stages of the cam
paign this year. It is remarkable in
view OF the fact that within the last
two or three years so much has been
heard about the necessity for getting
better conditions, if at al, through the
Federal Government. We have been
assured that the States were incompe-
tent to deal with the great problems OF
the times; that greater authority, cen
tralized in the Federal Government,
must be exerted.
Perhaps these assurances were cor
rect; but certain it is that the country
IS not acting as it believed so. With
the national campaign utterly Hstless
and nobody caring what may happen,
State after State Is warming up to It's
local politics in the most earnest way.
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, both the Da-
kotas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
New York, West Virginia, Tennessee
the list of red-hot State fights is almost
identical with an alphabetical catalogue
OF the States composing the Union.
Local issues, in part, are responsible;
but the relation of the States TO ma
tional questions is having much to do
with the strange condition. There
seems to be a sudden development of
realization that, after all, the national
legislature Is quite as much a matter
Of concern as the national executive.
The executive department has been
satisfying the country right well of
late. The legislative branch has not
MADE itself so strong with public opin-
ion. So the people are turning their
attention TO the Senate and the House,
and a lucky wight is the Senator or
Representative who has not a fight on
his hands, based on the charge that he
has neglected the voice of public
opinion.
IL as a good sign. The Senate is get
ting attention IN some of the spots
where It has long needed attention. The
House Is not escaping. The country has
awakened to realize that the rules of
the House need attention, and It Is 60
Sng to continue dissatisfied till they get
it. craftsmanship plays smaller part
than determination to make the repre-
sentative bodies more representative.

Thrown by a Boy.

LONDON, Aug. 11.-One OF the feat
ures of the Cowes regatta has been the
performances Of the hydroplane invented
by a Frenchman, Claude Lelas. which

The strange craft resembles & punt

The under service consis Is OF two planes,
the first slipping a little upward, and
the second overlapping the first, the
two planes being connected by q per
pendicuIar board which keeps out of the
water. The boat is called the RicOchet
and is able 10 leap from point TO point
over the waves with uninterrupted con-
tinuity.

water. The motive power Is supplied by
a screw.

Attitude of the Press.

The changed attitude of the news
paper press IL this campaign is worthy
of consideration. Perhaps comme,t
and generalization at this time wouI.
be premature, and therefore dangerous
but so far as the campaign has gone, il
certainly seems to justify tie conciu
sion that the press Is going to maiuls4l
a very different relation to the ,arn
paign than in former campaigns.
Originally a mere controve, Al
pamphlet or handful, the news rpe.
took a long time to become a news t4.,-
veyor. But having become thai, dc
polemicaI function was soon ore-
shadowed and year by year it declines
in Importance.
The newspaper, in short, doesn't L
tempt TO drive people, politically IS it
used to do. It doesn't try to taspk for
them. It doesn't assume to hand to n.
a plate of canned opinions with break
fast and another with dinner, with con
fdence that these wiz be taken and
unquestioningly digested.
Recognition that the people win be
apt 90 do their own thinking, seems to
