POETRY AND PROPHECY.
TennysOn's Remarkable Prediction
of Aviation.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Poetry and prophecy go together. There
Is something in the exaltatlon Of mind and
soul which characteriEes the true poet,
which enables him to look further into the
future than ordinary mortals, and to fore.
Swallowed in Imagination things to come
Some of the Hebrew prophets In foretellina
the doom OF peoples clothed their predic-
lions I'm forms Of sublime postical imagery
In saying something OF poetry and
prophecy It was. however, especially the
prediction OF aviation we and in mind
ara without searching the bardic annals
one or two instances may be referred to
from memory. Thomson in his Seasons. -
WI ich, though seldom read now, contains
some gems OF thought, speaks OF ships
dim discovered. dropping from the clouds. -
This calls up a not indistinct vision OF
what was to be, but 1t was Tennyson. 8
generation later, who seems to a seen
most clearly what was coming:
For dipt into the future far as human
Saw the vision Of the world. and all the
wonder that would be,
Saw the heavens fill with commerce
argosies Of magic sails,
Pilots Of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and
there rained a CHASTITY dew,
From the nations airy navies graphing In
the central blue;
Far along the worldwide whisper Of the
southwark rushing warm,
With the standards Of the peoples plunging
through the thunderstorm.
This was long considered pure poetic
frenzy. Recent developments make it seem
an inspired description Of what is likely
TO happen in the not distant future. with
ali that had been accomplished up to a
month ago, Edison did not hesitate to say
that the aeroplane was only a toy, Evil
IDENTIFY that stage has already been passed.
Looking back to Fulton's steamboat Of a
hundred years ago, is there any reason
why there should not be as great a reIa-
tive advance in aviation? II is likely 70
be much more rapid. AS practical a scient-
list as Graham Bell said a year ago that
In less than ten years We should he cross
Ing the Atlantic in forty-eight hours.
Who can conjecture the changes that the
coming OF such a time will bring? The
one most talked Of now is the effect on
war and wsrIike operations. Must It be
that before we become civilized enough TO
settle controversies without Killing each
other there must be-horresco referens-a
rain OF CHASTITY dew" and all the other
imaginable horrors that would attend upon
the nations airy navies graphing IN the
central blue?'
The thought Of II as a possibility ought
to lead TO universal arbitration and peace.

Joined by some audscious fellow there is

This is what has happened in New York
city. The astute Mr.. Murphy stuffed the

the party machinery. The loyal members
knowing nothing Of the plot. did not bother
themselves about the primaries. The next
morning they found that their party was
in the pocket OF the chief Of Tsmmany.
Ii this is what happened ia New
York City It is simply a variation on
what has happened here in Nebraska,
where Mr.. Bryan and his democratic
~lieutenants have purloined what re-
mains of the old populist party. Ne
braska democrats have. fortunately for
them, escaped the necessity OF packing
primaries, or stufing the populist or
ganization with wolves in sleeps
clothing" as the Tammany democrats
found themselves forced to do, but
they have accomplished the same pur-
pose by plastoring themselves with
twin labels reading democrat on one
side and %''populist" on the other.
This duplex masquerade was played
last year for MIR. Bryan by putting the
names of his presidential electors on
the oflcial ballot as democrats, and a
second time as populists, and thus mis-
appropriating all the populist votes
that were intended for Tom Watson.
This year the theft of the party is
accomplished along similar lines by a
species of polite perjury by which all
the democratic nominees have taken
solemn oath that they affiliate with the
populist party, and are therefore enti-
tied to go on the ballot both as popu-
lists and democrats.
In Nebraska, as in New York City,
the stealing of a party calls down no
legal penalties upon the perpetrators.
The only way the people can punish
such dishonesty is to vote at the cleo
ton against the candidates with elias
tic consciences.

Although the opposition is constantly

On every occasion that he has been

predecessor. which he, himself, as q
cabinet adviser helped to formulate.
President Taft has Just said that the
chief function of his administration, as
he views 1t, will be to fix firmly in law
the program which President Roose-
welt was able only to map out and to
begin. Confederation is sometimes
found in strange places, and the settled
determination Of President Taft to con.

The twentieth century, not yet in its

of marvels of human progress has made
1t Indifferent TO achievements which a gen.
Grafton ago would have ranked as stipend
Gus. New feats of wireless tolegraphy and
OF submarine navigation are performed,
new heights Of mountain climbing attained,
Jules Verne's widest fancy OF globe

VIII It be the storage and utilization of
the suns energy? The address of Sir Jo-
.seph Thomson on his installation as presi-
dent Of the British association is Of in
terest in this connection. The heat re-
ceived by the earth from the sun on a
clear day is equal to 1000 horsepower an
acre. The prediction made by the British
scientist that engineers will eventually
succeed in utilizing this enormous supply
OF power, making it furnish the energy for
the worlds work when coal is exhausted,
foreshadows the most brilliant of all trl-

The Exrress Case Decision.

The supreme court Of Nebraska has
rendered it's decision adverse to the
contention Of the express companies
doing business in this state, seeking to
annul the law enacted by the legisla-
ture Of 1907 reducing charges for
transportation Of express packages
between ~intrastate points by 20 per
cent Of the then existing rates. The
contention Of the express companies
lawyers was that the act should be de-
clared unconstitutional and void as
being confiscstory in its operation, and
carrying with u excessive penalties for
Didu,u g.. The .oustitu . 40
The decision of the court, which is
written by Judge Barnes, completely
sustains the power of the Legislature to
regulate and fix reasonable rates for
the service OF express companies as of
other common carriers. 1t puts upon
the express companies the proof to
show for the actual facts, and all the
facts, that the rates prescribed are not
compensatory. 1t declares. although
not passing on them directly, that so
far as the drastic penalties are con-
cerned they are not the vital feature
Of the law. Finally, the court holds
that the express companies are af-
forded ample means Of relief in that
section Of the law which entities them
to appeal to the State Railway COM
mission for the establishment of a
reasonable schedule Of rates upon due
showing in case the rates fixed by the
legislature are, in fact, inadequate to
enable them to conduct their business
profitably.
BY this decision another of the re-
form measures enacted by the, last re-
publican legislature passes unscathed
through the ordeal OF fire, and is
iudicially vindicatet. AZ a constitutional
exercise Of ~law-making power. The
best part of It, however, il that by this
law rates on express shipments be-
tween Nebraska points have actually
been reduced 20 per cent, and the gen
eral public who ship and pay for the
transportation of these packages are
the beneficiaries, while the express
companies have simply been barred
from collecting excessive tolls to pay
unearned dividends on grossly watered
stock. The express companies are in
reality the railroad Incorporated under
another name, and this express rate
law is but one of a series of laws en-
acted at the time to regulate and re-
duce the previously extortionate trans
p~ortation tax levied on our people.
Incidentally, it is worth reiterating
that the laws enacted by the last re-
publican legislature, including the
2-cent fare law, the anti-pass law, the
commodity rate law, the express rate
Law and the railway commission law,
have go far w~ithstood all attack in the
courts, and are now operative for the
benefit OF every person in Nebraska in
any way dependent upon railway
service.
