Seein, Things in Flight.

Strange noises in the afr over Man
haitian have been bothering the rest
of Father Kniekerboeker of late, and
lonely watchers along the contiguous
shores report seeing queer things in
fight at night. At first the sounds
were traced to the Connecticut wilder
ness famous for the Moodus noises,
but neither the Moodus continental
drum corps nor the Moodus mountain
confesses to being the author of the
reverberations,
Now comes Worcester, Mass, some
way removed from Moodus, Moosup,
Haddam and Goodspeeds, with a weird
confession of aviation marvels. Mr..
Tillinghast, the Worcester confessor,
modestly admits that he is the latest
r-eincarnatiOn of Darius Green, and
that in his new airship he has been
making dashes through the merry
midnight air from Isaiah Thomas old
common to the Kill 0 Kull and back
again. In proof thereof, doubling
Thomases have only to look into the
brass tube deposited in midfight in
Liberty's torch on Bedloe's island for
copies of the Old Farmers Almanack,
the Worcester Spy with it's scoop about
the battle of Lexington, and a map
depicting the course taken by the
ITillingTfast Esquimaux rolling gum
drops up Tatnuck hill.
Following the precedent established
by recent explorers of other realms of
fact and fancy, the Bay State aviator
promises to disclose where he has hid
den this marvel of aerial mechanism,
and says the proofs of his achieve
ments will be forthcoming in due time,
presumably after the University of
Staten Island has had time to pass
upon them. Now to convince a gener-
alton which has become somewhat
skeptical, let Mr.. Tillinghast bring
forth also the af1davits Of Commander
Loose of the Blackstone river squad
ron and Rear Admiral Quack of the
Lake Quinsigamond feet, with astral
attestations by those more ancient,
but no less revered, Worcester county
myths, Mary and her lamb in full flight
at Sterling and good Old Grimes doing
the spread-eagle aloft over the Shrews-
bury meadows.

Omaha's Police Force.

Out of the hearing at Lincoln be-
fore the governor comes n clear fact.
That is that the Omaha police force is
not large enough to furnish the city
protection and serve the purposes Of
the Anti-Saloon league at the same
time. The enforcement of law and
maintenance of order are the sole rea-
IONS for keeping up a police force.
Yet it was proven ~conclusively that it
is impossible for the Omaha police
force to maintain order during times
when the city is crowded with visitors,
and at the same time enforce the law
against saloons to the satisfaction of
the crusaders.
This puts it squarely up to the citi-
zens. If we are to have large throngs
Of visitors in Omaha several times a
year, and are to see to it that the lid
does not even tremble, much less tip,
1t will be necessary to increase the po-
lice force, al least five times. This
will provide one officer for each saloon
anu lGdNO q lew W IdhS SolC VI ~
crowds along the streets. In this way
the bibulous visitor may be deprived of
his surreptitious thirst quencher, the
majesty of the Law may be upheld, and
the zeal OF the Anti-Saloon leaguers
for suppression of the drink habit may
be satisfied.
But when the chief of police is
asked to handle a serious street rail-
way strike, the crowds incident to the
great Ak-Sar-Ben carnival, and watch
240 saloons at one and the same time,
with but sixty men available for police
duty, he is being asked to accomplish
the impossible. II the Omaha black
washers would only be as reasonable
as they are energetic. the general
cause of reform would be assisted.
But so long as they persist in predicat-
ing their sweeping charges against the
city on such a basis as they disclosed
before the governor. just that long will
they bring only contempt on their
cause.

Congress Must Hustle.

There is to be no dallying in the
halls of Washington. The program is
work, work, and still more work. 1t
is not enough that the congressman
digest the presidents message before
drawing his mileage and going home
to digest his Christmas turkey. The
administration has pointed out many
things that ought to be done, the heads
of departments have suggested others,
and, altogether, there is a big and
w-ell-seasoned ~woodpile stacked up in
the dooryard that demands immediate
attention.
And Chairman Tawney, the master
of the choppers, has blown the blast
for the hands and says the dinner horn
will not be sounded till some Roadway
has been made in the matter of getting
the kindlings ready.
The public will be only toe ready
to applaud the Tawney notification
that the serious work of appropria-
tions must be pushed at all speed to
clear the way of routine for the meas
ures which are to come up later. The
Treasury department has shown itself
in spick-and-span condition for a
businesslike treatment OF finances on
the part Of the session, the depart
ments have presented most carefully
organized and well-pruned estimates
for the budget. the president has
sounded the keynote Of economy, and
it is now up to congress to plunge
headhrst into activity and get the APP
pr~opriations out of the way. The
summer cry was that the %appropria-
lions would be the only thing to be
put through this winter. Now let the
fiscal arrangements be completed.
Mr.. Tawney has done well to serve
so promptly the first course In the leg
i~slature menu. Mr.. Payne stands at
his shoulder with the second course

Porto Rico and Citizenship.

In a large sense the Porto Rican is
a man without a country. for the
United States maintains jurisdiction
over the governmental AFFAIRS of the
island through the administration of
the War department, which exercises
insular affairs Of enforcing pro-
visions for appropriations upon a peo-
pie who have no voice in the matter.
Il is a modern instance Of the old
story Of taxation without representa-
ton, only In this case the shoe is on
another foot.
II is not surprising, therefore, that
General Edwards, fresh from consider
alton Of the facts in the case, should
recommend so strongly that citizen
ship be accorded to the Porto Rican.
The island is reported as peopled with
a large proportion Of thrifty, intelli-
gent and, in many cases, cultured
whites, while possibly two-hfths of the
inhabitants are partly or wholly ne
groes.
Porto Rico has not even the status
Of a territory, for congress has decreed
that its inhabitants are citizens of
Porto Rico, and as such are entitled
only to the protection of the United
States.' The island is represented in
Washington by a commissioner who
has no authority, and the islanders are
governed virtually from the American
capital, though nominally they have a
legislature Of their own, subject to a
governor and other officers appointed
from Washington.
General Edwards raises the point
that it is c~ontended by some that
American citizenship already has been
extended to the people of Porto Rico,
and that the courts would sustain this
claim II 1t were properly presented,
and he urges that congress grant the
right of citizenship as an act of jus
tice and in an open and unequivocal
manner, setting at rest the possibility
Of discovery hat citizenship had been
accOrdeu inadvertently, WHICH, III MS
| opinion, would be regrettable.
Whether 1t would be wise to accord
citizenship to the islanders at large,
or whether 1t is advisable to make pro-
vision for g gradual extension Of the
suffrage right, is a matter for congress
to determine. but in fairness to the
better element Of the islanders 1t
would seem to be opportune for the
national legislature to canvass the
whole Porto Rican status, with a view
to adjusting the situation in accord
ance with whatever of equity may be
found to underlie the recommends
tions of the bureau in its annual re-
port.

Publicity for Corporations.

Secretary Nagels plea for larger
powers for the bureau OF corporations
is in line with the steps already taken
by the federal government in connec-
tion with the corporation income tax.
1t has already been pointed out that
n Of the best features of the act
providing for that a was not so much
the resultant income as the publicity
secured. The Treasury department is
put in the way of obtaining full knowl-
edge of the operations of each corpora
ton subject to the excise regulation,
and this may be made the means OF
safeguarding the public from some Of
the evils popularity suspected of under
lying past operations OF large concerns.
Secretary Nagel would carry this
idea further and would more COM
pletely nationalist the corporate life
by making the bureau the official re-
viewing body of all the conduct Of cor
poration business, affording the gov
eminent every facility for the correc-
ton of improper acts, while preserv-
ing inviolate the secrets Of this com
mercial confessional. The suggestion
has much to recommend it. for it APP
pears that the bureau already has done
efficient work within the scope of its
present powers. and even now is in
vestigating the doings Of giant inter-
ests with a view to discovering posi-
BILE trespass upon public welfare.
The trend Of the times is apparently
for a definite federal system of stat
utory publicity. The plan proposed is
in reality a liberal extension of the
governmental espionage now main
tained over banking institutions with
such beneficial results.
