YER work out solutions of problems now

ever work out solutions of problems now
affecting the country. Never was the
time more propitious for the introduction
Of this new idea in state legislation. Pos
sibly such a proposition could never be-
fore have been preached with any show
of success. Men talk less today about
state rights than they do about good
government and businees-lke reform in
public matters. There has been so much
travel of late years between the states
that the state boundaries and sectional
lines have been largely obliterated in the
minds of most citizens engaged in ma
tionaI affairs. The governors here as
sembled are today typifying this new
spirit in the American commonwealth.
and it would be in the last degree profit
able If after the resources problem has
been measurably solved to the end of Sc
curing uniform state enactments other
questions should be taken up on the same
basis. But. whether addressed to the
point of considering specific questions or
merely for the purpose Of better &C
quaintance and the encouragement OF
mutual understanding. nothing could be
more wholesome for the country at large
than the institution Of an annual session
of governors here at the National capital.
1t is to be doubted If there was ever be-
fore a more significant assemblage of
men in this city than there Is today, and
the public Imagination has been greatly
stimulated by the spectacle.

Interstate UNDERSTANDING

Judging from some of the reports that
have come from the resources conference
now in session here. this assemblae e of
state executives is producing results quite
beyond the immediate scope of the pres-
ent inquiry into ways and means of con-
servation. 1t is stated that some of the
governors. finding the atmosphere of
Washington favorable for these interstate
meetings. are advocating series OF
gubernatorial gatherings to consider other
subjects. For instance il has been nro
posed that the governors take into con-
sideration the movement to secure uni
form marriage and divorce laws through
out the states. Certainly if progress is
ever to be scored along that line of much
needed reform it Is most likely to be
accomplished through such discussions
as have been made possible this week in
Washington. The governors here meet
on neutral ground in an environment of
legislation and administration. They can
not fail to be inspired to harmonious
agreement by the spectacle of congress
sional compromise and adjustment which
is afforded at every session as extreme
views are harmonized and effective re-
suits are achieved Only by adopting
this give-and-take attitude toward the
end of reaching results can the states

His neighbors like him, and he has served

no objection on anybody's part. The
Johnson case at Denver, however, will
be examined, not with regard to it's local
strength. about which there can be no
dispute. but with regard to its national
strength, which is wholly problematicaL
1t is mere assertion to say that because
Gov. johnson has twice carried Minnesota

Summer Risks.

The time is at hand to consider the sum-
mer resort. In a very few weeks the hot
weather exodus from town will begin, and
tens of thousands will be transplanted
from the home to temporary quarters on
farm. lake, seashore and mountain. 1t
behOoveS the head Of the house, who
finances the migration, to look carefully
into the. qualifications of the summer
home. 1t should be, above all things, san.
itary. There is no economy in sending
a, family away for the summer If illness
is to be contracted during the vacation
and heavy doctor bills are to be paid
later. Much illness is contracted In this
manner. Somewhat tart1ily the managers
Of summer resorts are looking to the sani-
tary surroundings and offering more re-
liable guarantees to their patrons against
such diseases as typhoid fever. To be
altogether safe the prospective boarder
should require chemists certificate that
the water supply of the establishment is
free from pollution.

the best available chaperonage. Those
who go to the seashore or near lakes are
exposed to constant danger IL they are
not always careful about their indulgence
in water pleasures. The summers record
of deaths by drowning represents shock
ing waste of life. In the great majority
of cases these tragedies are absolutely
preventable, and are therefore the more
deplorable In that they can be in no way
excused. The boat-rocker. the foolhardy
swimmer, the too venturesome fisherman,

The WRIGHT "Flvine Machine. !"

There will be universal regret over the
news from the North Carolina coast that
the aeroplane of the Wright brothers has
been smashed at the close of highly
successful flight gilmore than eight miles.
The experiments conducted there have
been of perhaps the most important char.
acter in the history of aviation in this
country. The brothers have demonstrated
beyond question that it is possible for
man to propel himself through the air at
a high rate Of speed in practically all con-
dtions of the weather. and to follow a
chosen course from fixed starting point
to any desired landing place Yesterdays
flight, for example. was made at the rate
of more than mile minute, and the
operator was in perfect control of his
machine at every stage until the last mo-
ment, when a mistake in touching a lever
sent the apparatus suddenly downward
instead of upward, and the wreck re-
. suited.
OF course. such an accident can only
delay the demonstrations and add to the
expense borne by the experimenters 1t
seems impossible now that they should
fail of ultimate success. They have sufii-
;. ciently proved their proposition to COM
mand all needful financial support, and
they are probably at this time in receipt
of responsible offers of assistance in case
this mishap should exhaust their re-
sources. This is more; than "A business
matter 1t affects the welfafe of the
entire human race, for aerial navigation
has been really brought to a point at
which 1t promises practical results.
There is one great advantage possessed
by the aeroplane. which is that it is not
such an elaborate machine that it cannot
be replaced with comparative quickness
in case of an accident. The motor is. of
course. the important element, and al
though it is of special design and COM
pleE construction, it is altogether likely
that the gliding machine of the
future will have its duplicate parts
available for replacement at various
stages of the route, SO that repairs or sub
situations can be effected without DELAY.
Just at present the keenest anxiety of the
Wright brothers is probably to put to-
gether another machine in time to secure
the French contract money offered them
within the stipulated period

Mr.. Bryan and Instructions.

Mr. Bryan wants instructed delegates
and asks for them in display type across
the front page of the Commoner. He Is
right That issue of the paper should
have been enlarged for the message, and
the type should have been nine feet high
Men who are sincerely for Mr.. Bryan
are proud of the fact. and have no de-
sire to act under cover. They want
to be instructed. In cases where dele
gates favorable to Mr.. Bryan have been
chosen without instructions. Difference
was shown to local practices. Instructions
would have been agreeable to the men
themselves. Where delegates are still to
be chosen. Mr.. Bryan would have local
practices where they interfere with In
struct1ons set aside. and the feelings OF
the people frankly expressed
The appeal for uninstructed delegates
has here and there taken this form: Let
us gather at Denver and confer as to
what is best for the party. This request
is not anti-Bryan. 1t is not formulated
for or against any man. The whole
object is to canvass the situation, which
appears favorable to the democracy this
year. and nominate the strongest man. If
sentiment is for Mr.. Bryan. we'll and
good Well accept him. If it should ap
pear that another man would run bet
ter, let us search him out and put him
up
AS a matter of fact, however those who
hold this strain are masquerading. Their
request is formulated against particular
man. and that man is Mr.. Bryan. They
are already convinced that he is not only
not the strongest. but is the weakest
man under consideration. and should be
defeated at Denver. They are going to
the convention with that object in view.
arid the more uninstructed delegates
there are the better their chances of sue
cess will be. In vain will they spread
their nets in the sight of any instructed
delegate.
Moreover as Mr.. Bryan probably sees,
the fight against him at Denver will be
directed by New York moneyed interests;
and they work only in one way their
wonders TO perform. A nomination made
by the influence Of money would have to
be supported in the campaign by the
same induence, and that would make
success at the polls impossible. Mr..
Bryan himself. although bound to sup
port the ticket. would be so heavily
Handicapped his value as stumper
would be reduced to the minimum.

A House Of Governors.

From the New York Tribune.
The significant circumstance should not
be overlooked that the suggestion of a
house of governors as a further develop
ment of our governmental system. which
at present is the subject of widespread
and largely favorable comment. had its
origin, at least In a. considerable part In an
exaggerated fear OF or resistance to a sup
posed tendency toward undue centrali1a-
ton of the government through usurpa-
ton of state rights by the federal au-
thorities, and yet 1t finds it's opportunity
and obtains by far its most important
encouragement in the action Of the very
administration which has most of ali
been accused of centralizing tendencies
and intentions.
