ayALYzrNc THE RETURNS.

The official returns are now in, and
are being dissected by high-browed
gentlemen with busy pencils. The first
astonishing feature is that altho there
was an increase of 1.341,531 in the total
vote over that of the past Presidential
election, Mr. Taft only received 1900
votes more than Roosevelt's Sonderful
plurality. and that Bryan received less
than he did at either of the previous
times he was running. Bryan's total
vote at each time he has been q candi-
date is as follows:
1896. 6.503,165
1900. .................. 6.35S,133
1908 Excluding Oklahoma). 6,269.275
Including Oklahoma, which cast it's
first Presidential vote. this year, still
Mr.. Bryan received only 6,393,1S2 votes.
The meaning OF this would seem to
be that the bigger part of the Demo-
cratic votes which went over to Roose-
welt in 1904 also voted for Taft The
greater part of the new votes went over
to him also. This seems to be confirm
ed by the fact that Bryan ran behind
the Democratic candidates for Govern
or in "a States, and in five States which
were carried by Taft the Democratic
for Governor were elected.
Only in six States did Bryan run ahead
Of the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, and in every one of these local
conditions We're strongly adverse to the
candidate, and he suffered

me American fying machine is still
ahead of all others. Wilbur Wright
made record in France last week
which breaks all others in the world
and is a demonstration of the future
usefulness of the aeropIane. He re-
manned in the air one hour, So
minutes and So seconds, which is
nearly 81 minutes longer than his
best previous record, and during
which time he went nearly 60 miles.
This demonstrates the capacity of the
aeroplane for sustained flight, since, if
it can remain in the air two hours and
go so miles 1t can be made to remain
up 20 hours and go 1000 miles. OF
course, this proof Of ability to fly long
distances is far from being evidence
that the aeroplane can ever be made
a common and ordinary method of
travel. 1t is not likely to supercede
or even materially diminish travel by
rail or vessel. The economy of
the thing is against it. since much of
the power Of the machine must always
be expended in merely keeping 1t afloat.
On railroad the engine has the solid
earth to push against and the solid
earth to bear the weight of the load.
With little difference it Is the same
with q vessel on the water. In the air
the propeller has to sustain the ma
chine by an immense amount of force
expended In pushing against a very
yielding medium and merely to keep
the aeroplane afloat. While the ma
chine may be said to go in an air line
from here to Chicago. or elsewhere, and
thus have a shorter distance to travel
than the locomotive, which runs around
hills, yet there will be defiections on
account of air currents and other in
huences which will mako the path quite
as serpentine as by the locomotive or
the vessel.

REAL REFORMERs.

Judge Kunkel and the trial jury of
Dauphin County, Pa, have proved
themselves real reformers worth any
number of burning generalities and hot
air generalizers. 1t must be admitted.
however. that the vociferations for re-
form have had great weight in bringing
about the decisive act Of the Dauphin
County Court. Four of the chief graft
ers in that monumental scandal, the
Penns 'vania State House. have been
condemned as common, vulgar thieves
Imprisonment at hard labor with q fine
of $500 each. These men We're the most
prominent and influential in the ring
which robbed the State, and 1t is start
ling, as well as comforting. TO see how
little respect Justice has had for high
official and social rank. The first of
the convicts is John II. Sanderson, a
prominent Philadelphian and contract
or for the furniture. The next is James
NJ. Shumaker. of Johnstown, the Super
intendent of the Board of Public
Buildings and Grounds. The third is
no less than William p. Snyder. the
Auditor General of the State, and the
fourth William L. Mathues, of Media,
the State Treasurer. These men were
convicted of comparatively small
fraud of sl9,30S in contract for
wooden furniture.
The action is particularly gratifying
as it gives an earnest of the yigor and
thoroness with which the Investigation
and condemnation will go on of those
who are involved in the still larger
steals perpetrated upon the public. The
spectacle of these men who have here
tofore been of such power in Pennsyl-
