No sooner do men learn to navigate
the air than the innate instinct to out
strip each other takes hold OF them and
they begin to race. Last week, in France,
there took place a trial of speed and en-
durance that proved much as to the
capacity of the nonoplane and biplane,
yet. nothing so much as that we are to see
from time to time mad trials Of speed in
mid air between aviators of more or less
skill. 1t will be argued that this spirit
Of seeking to beat the other fellow is
what causes things to forge ahead, yet at
what individual cost ? True, no lives
were lost at Rheims, but we shall now see
reckless and untutored sky flyers with all
sorts Of mechanical contraptions trying
to beat the meteors across the sky and
denting the earth with their crushed
forms. What We need is not rapid
flight, but safe and sane navigation o
the air.

We do not believe the visiting Nor
mons at South Royalton would bite Gov
ernor Prouty and other state officials il
they should accept the invitation said to
have been rendered them and join the
party there. The people of this section
have ceased looking for the hoofs and
horns of Mormon pilgrims. Their course
and conduct have been such as to warrant
the good feeling that exists toward them.
Whether the state should officially well
come a body Of prominent churchmen of
any denomination is matter of taste
and opinion, largely. The Mormons
have certainly created beauty spot at
their Smith shrine we'll worth a long
journey to see, at an expense of probably
! $4,000, and they contemplate doing
much more. Nobody in Vermont has
been harmed thus far, and there is little
prospect Of moral blight resulting FROM
their advent.

To talk about other peoples business Is
the newspaper mans trade and the occa-
sions are rare when the members OF the
craft get together to discuss matters per
tanning to their own profession, and to
enjoy each others society.
The outing Of the Vermont Press asso-
citation, held last week, was one of the
most profitable and enjoyable in the his
tory of the organization. The custom OF
visiting large Vermont industries and en-
terprises and becoming familiar with the
scenic attractions of all parts Of the state,
cannot fail to be Of great benefit to read
ers as well as editors OF newspapers.
The association was very Hospitality
entertained by Theodore N. Vail, presi-
dent of the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone company and one OF the great cap
tains of industry of America. Its mem
bers had an opportunity to inspect Mr..
Wallis estate, "Speedwell Farms" near
LyndonviIle, and that OF Elmer A. Oar
ling, former proprietor of the Fifth
Avenue hotel, New York city, at East
Burke, each Of which comprises several
thousand acres. These men conduct their
farms on business principles and do not
use them merely as playthings. One OF
the interesting features of the trip was an
inspection Of Mr.. Wallis herd OF imported
Swiss cattle which be believes will be
better suited to this region than any
other breed, as they are the equal Of the
Jerseys for butter making and are AZ
good as the best beef cattle.
Ii is good thing for Vermont editors
to come into personal contact with a man
like Mr.. Vail and to learn that a million.

will fail to condemn the evils OF monopoly
or the injustice OF wealth wrong
fully acquired, wherever they exist
because be enjoyed the generous
hospitality and the thoughtful courtes,
of SIR. Vail, and there is no occasion
for hints ofany Interior purpose.
the visit has helped to dispel in tn
minds OF any person the idea OF indis
criminate condemnation OF men o
wealth, simply because they are rich
then Il has been profitable. The spiri
OF fairness, the spirit OF tolerance, re
quires just judgment whether mai
be rich or poor.
At the press banquet Governor Prout,
took occasion to object to indiscriminat
criticism OF the last legislature and j
seems to the Journal that his objection
was we'll founded. The general assem-
bly, left undone some things that it ough
to have done but the good accomplishe
deserves recognition. The speech by MI
Gleed Of Kansas City, in which he urge
Vermonters to guard the gifts Of natur
which have made Vermont 50 beautiful
was an admirable one, and was a httin
close for such an occasion. -Montpelig

q WarnIna q stete ofnelaI..

A report is current in this section Of
Vermont that Reed Smoot, a United
States senator from Utah and high in the
official life of the Mormon church, is
soon to visit Royslton, where there is q
monument to the memory of Joseph
Smith, the prophet and founder Of the
church of Latter Day Saints. On the
occasion of the visit of Senator Smoot,
according to the report, there is to be an
elaborate UNCONVENTIONAL function on the
beautiful and deliberately developed
grounds at the monument. To this func-
ton, it is further said, have been invited
the officials of the state of Vermont. II
1t be true that they have received invita-
tions to be present as the guests OF the
Mormon church, The Landmark respect
fully warns them that su attendance,
in their official capacity, would receive
the disapproval and condemnation Of the
people OF Vermont, for such attendance
would be looked upon at least as a tenta-
tive Endorsement OF the present work of
the Mormon church in the state. White

Let,a taear fror Mr. RansIov..

Just st this time the Randolph Herald
and News presents a timely inquiry a. to
what authority the Rev. <. ]. Ranslow
had for stating, when seconding the
nomination OF John A. Mead for lieu
tenant-governor a year ago, that DR..
Mead would not he a candidate for gov
ernor next time and was not seeking the
minor position as a stepping stone to the
higher. The contemporary states that
the assertion was allowed to 60 uncontra-
dicted at the time and was, therefore,
supposed by many Of the delegates to the
convention to be authoritative. Undoubt-
eddy, il had some weight in the nomina-
tion OF DR.. Mead. The public would GER
tainly like to know by what authority
the Rev. Mr.. Ranslow made such an
assertion.-Barre Times.

Congressman d. J. Foster comes out in
favor of the income tax amendment and
hopes Vermont will ratify it when the
time arrives. His argument is that the
federal government must soon possess
additional sources of revenue, and il it
doesn't reach for individual incomes it
will be forced to levy on corporations
and inheritances, which Mr.. Foster be-
lieves should be taxable only by the
states. At any rate, he believes it would
be well TO give the government the right
to tax incomes, il put to the stress, as in
time OF war, leaving Congress to deter
mine when the need arises. A great
many will agree with Mr.. Foster, YET
there will be strong opposition in Yer
mont to the amendment. Mr.. Fosters
speech, delivered at Grange picnic ai
Castleton, was Illuminating as to the
quirks and turns by which the tariff wa
revised. He evidently Gas not by any
means suited with the act as it passed.
