THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

Through legislatures and conventions, without re-
gard to party preference congress has been required
modify some of the schedules of the tariff act that
have imposed heavy burden the agricultural
population and congress has continuously refused In
this the people have not ruled
The people have demanded in no uncertain tones
the enactment of laws that will compel transporta-
ton companies to deal alike with all their customers
and congress has given them such laws, palming
off on the country a subterfuge that the federal
court of appeals has just decided to be fatally de-
fective. The people have failed to rule in this in
stance.
1t is an almost universal sentiment among the
people that there shall be no subsidies granted to
the transportation corporations that traverse the
oceans Yet for dozen years congress has been
endeavoring to force upon the nation ship sub
sidy law and is the verge of success In
this, are the people going to rule?
Demands for the just recognition of the rights
of wage earners have been made and have been
treated with cold contempt and in this the people
have not ruled.
The entire list of rejected commands made in the
of the people is familiar to the voters of the
republic and when Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sherman tell
them that they the rulers under the government,
they know that attempt is being made to de-
ceive and mslead them. For they do not rule under
the auspices of the republican party.

Mr.. Farman received the sketch as a gift, Mr..
Edison first placing on it his autograph.
How about the future of the dirgible balloon
Mr. Edison?"
''It has future, speaking commercially. It has
no great future any way you take it, his
prompt reply. 1T may be utilized in some
in war, but the heavier than-air machine that
can go straight against the wind-ah that is the
thing that must come"
"You refer to the aeroplane," somebody sug-
NO." he said "Ill tell you what think about
this sky-sang business. AS have said. it's sure
to come. They haven't got it yet, but they will.
But when the question is solved you will find that
the machine that goes straight up in the air
screws itself vertically into the air-has answered
the riddle"
The helicopter?" he was asked
Right he answered
This, by the way, involves the very principle
fancfully ascribed to the marvellous flying ma
chine of "Robur the Conqueror," by Jules Verne
In addition to Mr.. Edison among those who are
interested in the helicopter type of heavier-than-
air flying machine are Professor William H. Picker
ing of Harvard university; J. Hoffman, of Berlin;
Paul Cornu; Of France; Otto G. Luyties, of Balti-
more; j. Williams Derby, Conn., and Wilbur R.
Kimbal, of New York City
The advantages that these inventors claim for the
hel1Copter are that 1t rise vertically like a
balloon; that 1t can turn in much smaller radius
than an aeroplane drigible balloon that it can
hover IN one spot, whereas aeroplane must al
ways keep in rapid motion, and that it can ma
noeuvre easily in any direction AS Professor
Pickering expresses it, the hecopter is dependent
on the action of one vertical screw pro-
peilers, and is one of the three known classes of
lying machines the other two being such as have
Tapping wings and those called aeroplanes
In recent article Paul Cornu says that he sees,
do Mr.. Archdeacon and others in the he1icoDter
the true mechanical solution of the problem of
aerial navigation, and that in recent communica-
ton to the academy of sciences at Athens, Naval
Lieutenant Tsouchlas and Artillery Lieutenant
Hakavas both express themselves strongly in favor
OF this apparatus.

Edison and Farman.

New York Tribune: Thomas A. Edison as
special mark of respect to Henry Farman, the Eng
fish aviator, sprung a surprise that caused deep
flush of pride surge the face of his guest
the Edison laboratories in Orange, N. j., Monday
morning. Mr. Edison had requested that Mr. Far
man and his party call on him at his "play shop
at II
He met them in his magnificent library, and after
pointing out many curiosities, notably the marble
group of "The Genius of Light" which was procured
at the Paris Exposition the guests next taken
by Mr. Edison through all the departments of his
extensive works
1t was when the lights were lowered in the
ing picture department that the unusual compli-
ment Mr.. Farman said he would never forget
paid him by Mr.. Edison who sat in the center of
the group and laughed like boy From midnight
6lackness there suddenly appeared the Farman
aeroplane on the screen first in its shed at the
Brighton Beach racetrack and afterward in flight,
Farman bowling to the spectators-"The first time"
said Mr. Edison, "that moving picture of your
flights in this country has been by any person
except workmen.
Mr. Edison showed great interest in the various
attempts being made in different parts of the world
to travel in the air. |'It is coming; some one is
liable to solve the problem any day." he said.
Don't you think, Mr. Edison, that the problem is
already solved, and that all needed are scien-
tifc and engineering talent and money!" he
asked.
don't think inventors have been the right track
The great difficulty, of course, is the tremendous
power required in the engine, which at the same
time must be so very light. There are lots of
men working night and day on that problem, and
some one will do the trick Liable to run across
the solution any day now" he added.
He told Mr.. Farman he had made experiments
fifteen years ago in connection with flying ma
chimes, but had been compelled to give his atten-
ton to other things that had since engrossed him.
Speaking of the criticism often made of the
aeroplane, that when the engines stopped it in
danger of falling to the ground, Mr.. Edison made
a rough sketch showing a slight modification of
an old device of his, in which parachute which
renamed closed during the operation OF the mTfor r
accomplished through utilization of centrifugal
force
