Mr.. Bryan says he will not rule
with big stick but will lead the
people by love. Whose love !?
AS we'll attempt to govern back
district school by love. Mr..
Bryan's weakness is again ex-
emplifed, first by his 6ckleness in
politics, now by such sentimental
gushing as the above.

Mr.. Taft will make no speeches
during the campaign, except such
brief remarks as he may address to
visiting delegations. That is the
more dignified course for the can
didate to take, and it is quite as
effective. These whirlwind CAM
paigns have been at an expendi-
ture of nervous energy not justi-
fed by the results.

Says the Boston Herald: Not
that Vermont is dubious, but that
her state election three weeks
hence is the opening gun. Hence
the threatened invasion of the
state by cabinet orators" And yet
there are some editors of Vermont
who assert that the result of the
vote in September will have no in
fluence upon the rest of the
country.

Views Of Bryan's Speech.

In filling once more his pitcher at the
we'll which Mr.. Roosevelt has so often
drawn from Mr. Bryan will cause the
conservative citizens of the country,
Democrats and Republicans alike, to
feel thankful that there is to be in No,

sort of agitation in the White House

Republicans.

Your vote IN September for the State
Ticket will determine the delegate repre-
sentation of your own town in future
State, Congressional and County conven,
tions. When your vote has given you
your greatest delegate representation in
these conventions, your town has
achieved more politically than when your
September vote in a presidential year
has fallen off and depleted that delegate
representation. For this reason your
town should poll every Republican vote.
Your town pride should cause this to be
done.

Canals Old and New.

Canals more wonderful than those
of Panama and Suez are already in
prospect. The early summer is to see
the commencement Of an inland
waterway that will dwarf them both
into comparative insigniicance. This
is the long-projected Baltic and Black
Sea Canal, which will intersect Russia
from north to south, a distance Of
1000 miles, and the total estimated
cost of which is put at S500,000,O0O.
although it will probably largely ex.
coed even this sum.
Another wonderful canal scheme
which is being enthusiastically taken
up in Italy contemplates nothing less
than the. joining by this means OF
Genoa and Lake Constance. TO dc
this it will be necessary, Of course.
to cross not only the Apennine Noun
tains, but also the Alps.
This it is proposed to do by means
of a new invention in locks, involv.
ing the construction of a series OF
inclined tubular water lifts. 1t may
yet be possible to travel by steamer
over the Hottest mountain range in
Europe.-Chicago News.

of Great Things in Aerial Navigation and Warfare.

pounds. The altitude gained by sucn
a ship through dropping n thousand
pounds in a lump presents no prac'
tical difficulties whatever.
In the airship of the future, wheth.
err used for military or scientific pur.
poses, size Is sure to be a factor or
prime Importance. Interesting ex-
periments may be made with small
ships. But real and important work
requires large ships, built by en-
gineers on a scale great enough to
admit of the employment of steel and
other metals, instead of flimsy struc-
lures of bamboo or such materials.
Breaks All Records.
Count Zeppelin has broker all rec
ords for length of run But there Is
no reason why the military cruiser OF
the future should not have a radius
of movement of three or four thou
sane miles. OF course the greater
the speed aimed at the greater the
quantity of fuel that must be carried
for a given distance. A ship like the
America carries three tons of gaso-
lene in her, steel tank, and If the In
huence of the winds be regarded as
neutral she can motor 100 miles at
about twenty English miles an hour.
Count Zeppelin's remarkable cruise
is only a foretaste of what is to be
done with motor balloons In the near
future. Within a few years I expect
to see the Atlantic Ocean crossed by
an airship of the Republique or Amer
lea type. In fact, the America could
cross the Atlantic without much risk
of accident with a little help from h
winds. A voyage from New York to
Chicago, or vice versa, is within her
scope, and I am strongly tempted TO
bring her over from Paris this fall
and give Americans a demonstration
of what a first class engineering con-
struction can do in the way Of a long
voyage through the air.
In view of the success Of the Yep
pelin, of the Lebandy, OF the Re
publique, and the undoubted ability
of the America to make a longer voy-
e than Count Zeppelin has just
made, many experts regret that the
first venture of the United States
Government in military motor bal
looming should be with such a small
affair as that of Captain Baldwin.
It has no class. 1t is too small. 1t
has no endurance. Captain Baldwin
is a skillful man, but his machine Is
not large and powerful enough to
give him a chance against a great
cruiser like the Zeppelin. When the
United States Government enters the
aeronautic field it should not be con-
tent to begin where foreign expert
mentors ended years ago, but should
be I'D to date in size and engineering.

Genius and Obesity.

The annals of genius are filled to
overfowing with the names of men
who toiled and achieved fame under
a full habit. Nothing can be more
unjust than the jibes about fiat and
folly" and fairness and Incidence.
Martin Luther was as fat as Calvin
was thin; Ernest Remains obesity did
not obscure his insight and b%rilliancy.
Many writer's and speakers have
too long spoken invidiously of fairness,
but the best retort we have been able
to CLEAN In our researches into this
weighty subject is that Of G. H. Spur
geon, the famous preacher. People,"
