THE AEROPLANE DISASTER.

The aeroplane disaster of Thursday,
in which Lieut. Selfridge was killed
and Inventor Wright badly injured,
was a national calamity, and as
such has given the entire nation q
shock.
1t is a subject for congratulation
however, that if one of the two occu-
pants of the aeroplane must be
taken, that the inventor has been
spared. Another cause for congratu-
lation is that the accident did not
take place until every record in the
field of aeronautics had been broken
and new ones established and broken
by the machine and its intrepid in
ventor
In the conquering of the air no
doubt many lives will be lost. The
sea was not subdued otherwise, nor
the iron horse made the burden
bearer of the country. In the realm
of the air even greater dangers are
to be encountered.
Such lives as are sacrificed-and
may they be few-will be given to
bring a great blessing upon mankind
Land, water and air complete the
trio of earth's possibilities, and the
last named will not be the least i'm
portant of the three In fact, to navi-
gate the air at will would have almost
made unnecessary the two former
But a temporary set back such as
the recent one will not long delay the
success which the feats of the broken
aeroplane showed possible. Wilbur
Wright, in France, has his brothers
secrets, and can continue the eX-
periments while Orville is disabled
The achievements of the now dis
abled machine have placed this coun-
try far in the lead in aerial mat
ters, badly understanding Count Yep
pin, the German balloonist, who lost
his machine, but without the fatality
which occurred here. The sympathy
of the people goes out to the injured
inventor and to the family of the Of
ficer whose life was sacrificed to
science

If the thing continues living will be

4 SAD AWAKENING FOR THEM.


Mr.. Hearst has just returned from
a tour of the South He visited Geor-
gia and Alabama, speaking both in
Atlanta and Birmingham. He said tbs
independence party had great
strength in the South and that he
found the Southern people far more
Independent than he thought they
were. Then Mr.. Hearst made the
astonishing statement that he expect
ed to see Yancey Carter, independence
candidate for Governor, elected in
Georgia.
The wish is not father to the
thought in this instance, said Mr.
Hearst, for | really believe that Mr.
Carter will be elected and the In
dependence national ticket carry the
state. The sentiment is there and
am certain of it"
The above is part of a Louisville
dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
Sun. The sentiment to which Mr.
Hearst alludes is doubtless the senti-
ment he found existing in a certain
Atlanta newspaper office. But the
election returns will show how
little weight influences have on tbs
Democracy of Georgia. Hearst, Graves
Yancey Carter and some soreheaded
disgruntled and disgusting Demo
Gratis" in Atlanta and one or two
other places, will awaken soon to q
full realization of the fact that Geor-
gia is still anchored to the good
staunch old ship of Democracy

4 LOSING RACE.

Though wages have advanced ma
terially, the cost of living is advan-
cling even faster, according to a re-
port of the Bureau of Labor for the
year 1906 and 1907. The average wage
in the principal industries were 81
per cent higher in 1907, but the
prices of food had advanced AZ
per cent.
During the recent financial depres-
sion the rising tide of prices was
checked temporarily, but at the same
time wages were scaled, hours short
ened or industries closed down al
together. And as the country has

Where did you get it?" is a ques-
