the citizens of his own State and
city. Aud ia Indiana the stand
ard of statemanship is high. To
be noted among her men of note
is great distinction which the
the new vice presidential nominee
worthily enjoys. His career has
been the typical one of the self
made man, we'll educated and
equipped, but only by large per-
severance against obstacles which
would discourage the stall fe d
youth of today.
Mr.. Kern's services have been at
the call of his community and
party alike, and often when there
was no hope of reward. He has
filled all stations to which he has
been called most acceptahly and
was the leader of his party while
in the State Legislature. That
his nomination will add strength
to the ticket where strength is be
to sought with good prospects of
success, is evident. Indiana, her
candidates and her governor met
with scant courtesy at Chicago,
and the sympathies of her people
are all with the reforms advocated
by the Democracy. There is no
suggestion of straddle, compromise
or retrogression in the combina.

BY THE tremendous tide OF

been rushing resistlessly onward
since 1904, William Jennings Bry-

every species of barrier has been
swept away, like frail bark on
mighty wave. America political
annals furnish no parallel whose
lines would not be too faint for
vision.
Bryan has stood the the test of
the years, and it has been applied
without mercy. Never has he
descended to the lower levels to
compass by paltry means this
triumphant choice. He has abated
no jot or title of his principles in
their honest and ready application
to the actual questions which pre-
sent conditions raise. The years
have ripened his statesmanship,
developed the vigor of his marvel
GUS persuasive powers, and en-
larged the vista of his world view
Extensive travel abroad and at
home has provided him with d
rare breadth and equipment Of
immediate knowledge And this
mingling directly with the people
in the States, talking intimately
with them, learning their habits
of thought, ways of living aud
notions Of the burdens and griev-

acknowledged devotion felt for

A Good Story

At little luncheon given on the
day before his departure for Europe
to Joseph Cowen, the English Zion
list, the subject of apostasy came up,
and one man, to illustrate its prevail
ence, related that only few days ago
the first child in the home of one of
New York s wealthiest Jews had been
baptized because "the parents hoped
by that means to remove an obstacle
in the way of the boys progress. y

gasoline enough to fly 500 miles at a
rate of some so miles an hour. We
can, and possibly soon will. make a
one-man machine carrying gasoline

Fearful Only Of capsize.
Although one of the brothers had an
ugly fall only few days ago. they
both maintain that the only danger
to be apprehended from an aeropiAne
is the danger of capsize. a break
down, or a sudden stopping of the en-
CINE. they say-and they certainly
should know--does not entail disas-
ter. as on the first thought 1t might
appear. Their explanation Is that
while the aeroplane is supported In
the air through it's own motion
through IL, yet gravity furnishes all
the energy that is needed to get
safely to the ground. When the
mower is shut off it merely scales
through the air to its landing. Theo-
retically, 1t is safer at mile above
the earth than at 200 feet, because 1t
has wider choice of places in which
to land; you can choose your land
ing from 256 square miles from
mile above the surface If descending
one in sixteen. "As matter of fact,
they said, I'VE always shut off the
power when we start to alight, and
come down by the force of gravity.
We reach the ground at so slight an
angle and so lightly that 1t is impos'
sible for the operator to tell by his
own sensation within several yards
of where the ground was first actu-
ally touched.
I'VE feel that II is absolutely essen
tial for us to keep our method OF con-
troll secret. We could patent many
points in the machine, and 1t is posi-
BILE that we could make a success OF
the invention commercially. We have
been approached by many promoters
on the matter. But we believe that
our best market is to sell the ma
chine to some government for use in
war. To do this it is necessary for
us to keep its construction an abso-
lutte secret"
To the same writer the brothers
made the interesting statement that
they did not expect the aeroplane ever
to displace the railroad or the steam

FIVE hours too short for the ordi-
nary man to learn TO ride bicycle
It was our plan to follow the example
of soaring birds, and find a place
where we could be supported by
strong rising winds
"A bird is really an aeroplane, The
portions Of its wings near the body
are used as planes of support, while
the more flexible parts outside, when
Mapped, act as propellers. Some of the
soaring birds are not much more than
animated sailing machines. A buzzard
can be safely kept in an open pen 80
feet across and ten feet high. He
cannot fly out of II. In fact, we know
from observation made by ourselves
that he cannot fly for any distance up
a grade of one to six.
yet these birds sailing through the
air are among the commonest sights
through a great section of the country.
Every one who has been outdoors has
seen a buzzard or hawk soaring:
every one who has been at sea has
seen the gulls sailing after a steam
ship for hundreds of miles with scarce
ly movement of the wings. All of
these birds are doing the same thing
they are balancing on rising cur
rents of air. The buzzards and hawks
find the currents blowing upward off
the land the gulls that follow the
steamers from New York to Florida
are merely sliding down hill a thou
sand miles on rising currents in the
wake of the steamer in the atmos-
phere, and on the hot air rising from
her smokestacks."
Think Great Speed Possible.

easily 60 miles an hour, and may be

The significance of the statement lies
In the apparent fact that the inventors

solve the problem OF equilibrium by
some automatic system of balancing.
We believe that the control should be
left to the operator. The sense of equi-
librium is very delicate and certain.
II you lie upon a bed three-quarters of
an inch out of true, you know 1t at
once, And this sense OF equilibrium is
just as reliable a mile above the earth
as 1t is on 1t.
The management of our aeroplane
like that of the bicycle, is based upon
the sense of equilibrium of the opera
tor. The mechanism for preserving
the balance of the machine consists of
levers operated by simple uniform
movements which readjust the flying
surfaces of the machine to the air
The movement of these levers very
soon becomes automatic with the avn
ator, as does the balancing of bicy-
Gle rider, and simpler to operate than
bicycle. In fact, the aeroplane is
easier to learn. In all our experiments
