and financial recognition of the fact
that the conquest of the air is no
longer a brilliant promise, but dead
certainty. Therefore October 10, 1908,
viii be a red-Ietter date in the his
tory of aeronautics-also, we may add,
in the history of the United States,
whose spirit of indomitable energy is
so heroically illustrated in the career
of the young man whom the French
people, handsomely approaching his
genius, have entitled Lord of the air"
1t can hardly be said, after the en-
thusiasm that has prevailed at lie Mans
during the last few weeks, that the
civilized world fails to recognize the
tremendous Importance of the achieve
ments of Mr.. Wright. The trials have
been eagerly followed by scientific and
military experts representing various
countries. 1t had been felt for a long
time that the Americans were on the
right track, for, except by accident,
there was never any retrogression.
Even when their flights were com
lparatively insignificant, there seems TO
have been no doubt among the OBJ
servers that the Wrights were slowly
becoming masters of the situation; that
in time they would give what the
world has been waiting for through
decades and CENTURIES perfectly prac-
teal demonstration of the art of flying.
The flights last week to fulfill the con-
ditions of the contract proposed by the
French syndicate were the final official
tests of the practicability of the Wright
laeroplane; they were satisfactory in
every respect; there was not a single
serious hitch; and when the judges de-
clared their satisfaction the American
was congratulated by the best aviators
in France-Archdeacon, Farman, and
DelagTange.
1t has been suggested that Wilbur
Wright should fly across the English
Channel. Nine. Berg, who went up
with him one day last week and who
consequently won the honor Of being
the first woman TO ride in a flying ma
chine, said that she would be happy
TO take part in such performance.
/ Under favorable conditions Wright could
| fly across the channel-say from Cape
Gris-Nez to Dover, a distance of twenty
one miles-in half an hour. He may
do it yet, but we see that he is coming
back to the United States this week
presumably to help his brother Grille
/ So it seems likely that when the trials
take place at Fort 8Iyer under the
auspices Of the War Department the
records made at lie Mans will be
equaled if not surpassed.

No Woman PreSident-Yet.

Israel Zangwill, who has just stepped
into the limelight by altering a new
play, in accordance with the sug-
gestion of President Roosevelt, asks
somewhat naively, "Why should not a
woman be President of the United
States?"
AS Israel appears to be in earnest in
the question, we will help him out,
which is more than we would do for
everybody, by assembling a few good
and bad reasons why a woman ought
not to be President.
To begin with, in times of peace the
President is obliged to meet politicians
from all parts of the country and to
listen to applications for Office, all
urgent, some pathetic, some nearly
truthful, and probably not one of
which would be satisfactorily settled
by reference to any published fashion
plate.
In the second place, a President must
be ready at all times to receive visitors
and to discuss subjects of diplomatic,
internal, partisan or bipartisan i'm
portance, without taking any time be-
tween audiences TO do up his back halr
In the next place, a President must
be ready to dismiss Ofiiceholders for
pernieious activity in politics-such, for
example, as being too partial to Mrs.
Smiths baby, and not giving sufficient
recognition TO that of Mrs. Jones. This
is a hard, cruel duty, but it must be
done.
A woman cannot pass on these trifing
points; yet there are others, Ga even
greater Importance and severer conse-
quence, which in view OF those named
It is needless to mention
Could a woman be President Of the
United States? No, Israel, she couldn't
That is, she couldn't do the job at all
well.

That the Capital is full of citizens

Now is, indeed, the time to wade in

vigorously as special local causes are
pressed upon the attention of the
Congressional committees. Every citi-

The Dove OF Peace Winged.

In Europe the sword is still mightier
than the pen. This fact has been start
lingly demonstrated by the events of
the past week.
For thirty years the treaty of Berlin
maintained a feeling of peace and Sc
curity. Then, suddenly, a powerful ma
ton takes it into its head to demolish
this pacifying instrument. All Europe,
full of underground schemes and coun-
terschemes, is bluntly notified that the
independence of Bulgaria and the an
nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are
to be treated-if treated at alias
accomplished facts. The work of the
pen is thus undone, cast aside, spurned
with brutal violence. Any dispute over
the new arrangement must be settled
by the sword.
Naturally, this unexpected resort 10
the traditional mode of the mailed fist
has astonished the civilized world.
There stand Austria and Bulgaria, de-
tiant, belligerent, saying: 1--WE have
done it. That's all there is about it.
If you don't like it, if you feel like
butting in, then you must take the
consequences" Great Britain at first
mildly suggested reconsideration.
Now we read in the London news
about "the fact which is becoming in
creasingly evident that sympathy with
Turkey will in no case 90 beyond ex-
Pressions Of coincidence and good will /"
French statesmen and editors view the
situation pessimistically. The feeling
among the close adherents Of Premier
Clemenceau is said to be that "the in
evitable titanic struggle is not far dis
tant." a prominent journalist in France
takes occasion to observe:
''The moral of the whole thing is that
American statesmen, and especially
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft. are
perfectly right when they insist upon
the necessity of a strong fleet, because
what we see today shows that it is not
the treaty which protects nations
rights, but guns and warships"
The advocates of peace suspect Ger
many is playing deep game, but it
seems safe TO say that she will do
what she can TO embarrass France and
Great Britain. The former is an old
enemy; the latter she hates with all
her heart. The liveliest opponent of
the Austrian Bulgarian coup has been
little Servia, country not much more
than twice the size of Massachusetts
and containing fully half million less
people. The David in this case would
meet a well-equipped Goliath. The
stone would be no match for the ava
lanche.
But there are the accomplished facts
the diplomatic world is worrying over
the treaty of Berlin in tatters, Bulgaria
and Austria with hand on sword DEFY.
ing the world. No wonder the British
pessimists are saying that the modern
peace agitation has received its deatl
blow
