The aeTOnaut brings a measure Of this
power from the heavens down to the
earth with him as he alights from his ship.
After a long voyage one touches the
ground with the feeling that he can step
over tall buildings, leap broad rivers, and
fly from place to place. This apparent
lightness and ~buoyancy remain in the very
bones for many hours after one has made
a protracted aerial voyage, and lures one
back to the height of the air. 1t is a sem
sation of pleasure that the great majority
Of humanity has yet to know.

to that OF a child learning to walk. The
aeronaut must train his mind to fly before
he can get his airship to work.
There are plenty OF mechanics who can
build airships that can fly. The great
trouble is that there are very few men
who rave the %gymnastc gift to fly; for
flight, until II is completely mastered, is a
terrific struggle with both mental and
physical gravity. or the habits that gravity
has imposed upon the mind and body. on
the earth plane. II one will study closely
the accidents that have overtaken airships
in actual flight within the last year or two,
he will see that most of them have been
due more TO a lack OF skill in manipuIa-
ton h to defects in construction OF
these craft.
When one begins to feel at ease on an
airship as on a speeding railroad train or

that feeling comes with successful flight

Special To Tribune
Washington, d. c., March Is:
Senator Isaac Stephenson was sworn
in at today's session, Senator LaFol-
lette taking the arm of his colleague
and escorting him to the clerk of the
ce-president to take the oath of Office.
Il shall vote against the present
rules no matter what may happen,
said Representative Cooper, and he
showed his courage by offering the use
of his room as a place for the insur-
gents from all the states to meet.
Representatives Nelson, Morse and
Cary were equally emphatic. Repre-
sentative Lenroot of the new men said
if he was the only insurgent who would
vote against any compromise, he would
stand alone. Representative kopp, the
other new member from Wisconsin,
also kept his courage up and proclaimed
his determination to stand. All of
these and Representative Esch attended
the meeting of the insurgents
at which it was determined to fight for
more representative House no matter
who stood in opposition.
Senator Aldrich will head the com
mittee on committees of the Senate.
The organization is talking Of placing
Senator LaFollette at the head Of the
committee on census.
Senator LaFollette spoke upon pri-
mary elections before the Civic Forum
at New York last Friday night.
The government will sell $3.50, OOo, GOO
of bonds within the next six months to
pay it's ordinary running expenses,
This is the belief of cabinet officers,
republican senators and other men in
touch with the financial situation. ltI
has been known for months that the
United States is headed toward a bond
issue, for the second time in its history, /
in time of peace. Congress has ig-
nored the situation and in the last eight
years has appropriated more than
81. 600. 600, 600. AT the session just

run the government one year. In the

1T will be remembered that on Dec.
18th, 1908, Joseph Kearns of Kendall
was killed on his farm in Oklahoma and
his body brought here for interment.
Later it was learned that he was killed
by being shot twice by a man named
Joe Blair. Last week Blair was tried
and convicted of manslaughter in the
first degree, the penalty for which
ranges from four years in the peniten-
tiary to life sentence. A motion for
new trial has been made, pending
which the judge has suspended SEN
tence. From the testimony adduced
at the trial it appears the two men
were farmers and neighbors and Blair
claims the trouble arose because

guished member of the opposition into
his council.
The present case is far from an inno-
walton. Washington, Lincoln, Hayes,
Cleveland and Roosevelt choose from
the opposition. But waving these
precedents as being subject, in the
judicial mind, at any rate, to acute
distinction, the choice of Secretary
Dickinson is to be approved on grounds
of sound policy grounds which do not
impeach but rather affirm both the
Democracy of the secretar" and the
Republicanism of the president. The
presence in the cabinet of an approved
and loyal member of the opposition is
primarily founded on recognition of
the political situation in the south and
the injustice and impolicy of the lack
of representation of very large sec
ton of the American people in the ex-
ecutive council of the nation.
But it is probable that other factors
entered more or less consciously into
this action. This is not a period of
exacerbated partisan feeling nor of
heavily marked party lines. 1t has
been one of the fortunate and hopeful
developments of recent years that on
some of the most pressing questions OF
fundamental national policy it has been
possible for the most intelligent mem
bers of both great parties essentially
to agree. Respecting the tariff there
is, indeed, difference Of final principle
unequivocally defined in the party
platforms. Yet even here the practi-
cal policy of each party has exhibited
IeHutUCy loWdIuy IdLItl bhdH away,
from the others theoretical position,
while on such questions as the regula
tion of interstate commerce, trusts and
the like, despite striking and important
differences Of spirit and method, there
is an underlying community of purpose
The tremendous and triumphant advan-
tage of the Republican party, lies not
in a greater devotion to national good,
nor larger recognition of evils to be
cured, and service required, but in the
soidity and wisely considerable charac-
ter of its proposals.
In such a situation it is not improper
| to give to conservative Democracy a
place in the executive council. 1t by
no means establishes permanent rule
or recognizes any right of the oppose
ton to be represented in the cabinet.
1t is, however, graceful recognition
of present conditions and reminder
that in the patriotic service of the re-
public there are no party lines.

tees charged with the duty of investi-
eating expenditures, supposedly for the
purpose of informing congress so that
it NAV act intelligently on appropria-
tion hills. Some of these committees
have not met in ten years and the en-
tire work of appropriation is done by a
few committees which give only a few
DAVIS consideration to the bills.
President Taft is greatly worried
over the situation. The question of
how funds may be raised to avert a
bond issue has been seriously considered
by the president and he urges the
necessity for putting in the tariff bill
some provisions that would bring in
sufficient revenue to give the country
enough money to pay its bills. There
was general agreement to put tax
of five cents a pound on coffee, which
it was thought, would bring in reve-
nue. of $40, 900, 600 year but, as the
whole of this years crop has been inn
ported on speculation, the government
won't get any revenue for the first year
of such a tax and very little for the
second year The spectators, by the
imposition of such tax, it is computed
would carry off an additional profit of
$26, 600, 600 on the supply of coffee nee
essary for the country for this year.
