The New Mayor

1t was somewhat confusing to the
general reader to have during one
season both successful play and a
book, each having identically the same
title, and yet neither bearing any
relation to the other, except in the

been written by Octave Thanet, and
the play by George Broadhurst. New
a book, founded upon the play ap-
pears under the title of The New

from the other book.
"The New Mayor is strong story
of politics, love and graft, and ap
peals powerfully to every true Amer

Farman Expects Five Hour Aerial
Line Between Paris and London.
Henry Farman, the French aeronaut
who recently won the Deutsch- Arch
deacon prize. in an interview at Paris
on the future of aerial navigation said
that the best results in ,aeroplane trav-
Ell would be had from combination Of
the principles Of the Bleriot machine
and the cubic cellular aeroplane used
by Santos-Dumont and himself. For
the present he regards aeroplanes as
purely sporting machines. but expects
their development to be rapid and
foresees the time when an aeroplane
omnibus will cover the distance be-
tween Paris and London in five hours.
NJ. Farman feels certain that within
twelve mouths aeroplanes will be able
to travel seventy-five to a hundred
miles Mt an Insignificant cost compared
with the expense Of running an auto
mobile for the same distance.

Prohibitio.n,s Balance Of power

From Leslie's Weekly: The prohi-
bition national convention, which Will
meet in Columbus in the middle Of
July, will need to be watched by the
republican and democratic politicians.
AS a political party to prohibitionists
have had longer career than any
other three of the minor parties which
the United States has seen. In 1872
they put their first presidential ticket
in the field, and they have had one
in every presidential campign since
then The 25,0Oy votes which their
candidate st. John, polled in New
York in 1884, three-fourths of which
were drawn from the republican, de-
feated Blaine and gave Cleveland the
1O47 plurality in that decisive state
which made hin. president. ST Johns
aggregate vote in the country at large
was 1000. Bidwell's 264,O00 votes
in 1892 was the largest poll ever
made by the prohibitionists. Swal.
L .
low, in 1904, received 25S,000. The
marvellous expansion which they have
made since 1904, however, as shown
by the territory which they have put
on the dry" list, makes it exceeding.
ly probable that the ticket to be nom
mated at Columbus will poll at least
100000 votes. AS already mention
ed, st. John defeated Blaine for presi
dent twenty-four years ago, and broke
the spell of the republicans imagined
invincibility. 1t is easily possible that
the prohibitionists may hold the bal
ance in 1908 in several states, and
turn the scale one way or the other
in the electoral college.
