Men or Parties?

Richard Olney, formerly Secretary Of
State, and distinguished one, under
Grover Cleveland, writes the New York
World a Our-column letter TO prove
that it is the duty of Democrats to
support Mr.. Bryan. We venture to
say, however, that a great many per
sons viii not feel like imposing implicit
confidence in Mr.. Olney's Judgment
when they read at the beginning of his
exhortation this statement:
No more need the personalities Of
the respective candidates be cOnsid-
cred. But the truth is that
each is simply the representative OF
his party Each II elected, Will be
the creature or his party. and each,
If elected, VIII and must obey the be
hests Of his party In short. ours is
a government by party, and at the
and not merely individuals that. the
American people are about to keep
or place in the seats OF power.
In view of the fact that the Admin
istration of Theodore Roosevelt has
demonstrated conclusively that the
opposite Of what Mr.. Olney says is
true, we doubt if he will carry con-
viction. What is the use of trying to
make people who have seen the per
sonality of one man either dominate
his party or contend against it fol
seven years believe that "the personal
ities of the respective candidates need
not be considered?

The Toll at Fort Myer.

In close sequence to the destruction
of the Zeppelin dirigible and the Par
sevaI flexible balloon, an aeroplane has
been dashed 10 the earth and its Occu-
pants crushed. The danger which stead
lily menaces the pioneer of aviation is
thus made to slap us all in the face.
Within three days a balloon made of
small compartments for the particular
object OF safety has exploded and an
aeroplane which had aroused the ad-
miration Of the world for the ease and
apparent security with which it was
navigated has killed on of its passeH-
gers and dangerously wounded its in
ventor.
This death at Fort Myer-tragic as
it was and deeply as it must move
the community where lived the victim
who was fatally hWt-was not the first
in the history Of attempted sailing in
the air and II will not be the last. Man
cannot advance from the known to the
unknown in constant security. The
pioneer Is never unconscious of his risk.
Columbus made the first deliberate voy-
age of the Atlantic in safety, but in his
imagination he must have seen the
wrecks of how MANY galleons like the
Santa Maria!
The dependence of the aeroplane up
on velocity is the chief scientific fact
emphasized by yesterdays accident. a
type of craft which must move swiftly
to keep ahoat makes disaster un-
escapabIe if once the mechanism fails
And the likelihood that materials
much stronger than muslin and wood
engines much more stoutly built than
the light motors of an acroplane, Will
fail, Is illustrated every day in every
American town by the uncertainty OF
the automobile. The risk in operating
such a vessel, therefore, Is not only
ever present, but great; and the de
velopment of the aeroplane must be
carried much beyond its present stage

Vile Wright can set forth in one with

Sour MiIk-and Laughter.

A celebrated French scientist renews
the contention that the active principle
Of sour milk is remedy for old age.
Certain bacteria in the milk, it is
said, are a foe to the germ of old age.
In the Balkans, where sour milk or
"Yogurt" is a staple article of diet,
there are great numbers of centena-
rians, and their longevity Is accredited
to the daily use of sour milk.
There may be, or may not be, some
thing in this theory. Long life in the
Balkans could be due to totally differ
ent causes. The hardy moUntaineers
live a simple and abstemious life, and
they breathe pure atmosPhere-condi-
tions conducive to a life long continued
and heaIthful
Paris has had, from C-,gliostro to
Brown Sequard, scores Of clever fel-
lows with schemes for living long, In
addition TO the Yogurt plan, there are
at present a sea water scheme, a vege-
tartan regime, a fruitarian idea, and a
new tangled electrical treatment. All
are based on the supposed efficacy of
preventing arterial sclerosis, or gradual
hardening Of the arteries, which causes
decay, old age, and eventually the end.
But in the battle against death there
Is Il better weapon than any schemes
presented by all the scientists There
is a fountain of youth born in some
of US, something that requires no
scientific investigation, no laboratory
experiments, no delving into bacteri-
ology. 1t is one of the gitts left when
the good fairies are present at a birth
This prize, second only to the love
that makes the world 90 round, is a
sense Of humor. Its expression con
sists Of smiles and laughter, and these
are agencies which not only help to
rule the world, but aI1 more powerful
factors for peace and good viii than al
the battleships and bayoHets in the
history Of nations. Sour milk may be
all right, but most of US would rather
stake our chances for a long life on a
contented disposition and an ability tc
laugh heartily at a good joke.
