Let no one imagine that aviation is

fhe airship will no doubt be useful in
scouting and it may become a dan
serous machine in offensive move
nents. But it's greatest uses will be
n serving the ordinary uses Of man
lind in times of peace.
Zeppelins that carry as many as 1e
passengers are high-priced. At pres
mt Zeppelin dirigible costs about
100000, but an aeroplane can be pur-
;hased even now at about $4,000. Per-
laps the price will be reduced one
lalf, and when it is aeroplanss driven
~ 60-horsepower motors will be with
n the means Of all who can now af-
ord to buy automobiles.
Let no one assume that aeroplanes
are to be mere toys of the daring few
or sky-scouts in war. The seroplane
S needed by man in his everyday
avocations, and it will be utilized in
,he soon coming years as the auto
mobile and the telephone and many
Jther inventions have been. From this
lime forward inventors will be busy
n bringing the new invention Within

SALE OF WATERLOO MUSEUM.
There Are Now Upwards of 5000 OBJ
jects i'm the Collection.

Brussels, Sept. 3.-The Waterloo
Museum, we'll known to hundreds of
American tourists who have visited
the historic battlefield, was put up for
sale at public auction in Brussels to-
day to satisfy a judgment against the
company controlling the museum and
the hotel operated in conjunction
Herewith.
The nucleus of the famous museum
was formed by Edward Cotton (an
Englishman who fought in the great
battle) between 1915 and his death il
1S49. From time to time the co1lec-
ton was increased by gifts from Wa
viduals
There are now upwards of 5000 OBJ
jects in the collection, including
weapons and accoutrements of every
description, engravings, photographs
and books. One of Napo1eon's camp
kettles, stamped with the imperial
''N'' and the word voyage" has beer
always regarded by visitors with
great curiosity, as have the gold an6
silver crosses of the Legion of Honor
and Napoleon's silver spurs stamped
| with a crown and IN"
| The collection is rich in French ca
giles, crowns, grenades, bugles, belts
collar straps, bride bits, cannon balls
| lances, swords and helmets, British
cavalry carbines and pistols and in
| fantry muskets, and many othe
| treasures, which, since the first open
ing of the museum, have been viewet

nationa1ities.

THE INCOME TAX.

In Maryland the Republican state
convention adopted resolution fav-
)ring ratification of the income tax
amendment, while the Democratic
state convention ignored the subject.
Under such circumstances the vote
for an income tax should be unani-
nous in Maryland, because the DEM
ocrats are committed to it by their
last national platform and the Repub-
licans by their last state platform.
In New York and New Jersey no
state convention are to be held this
year, but candidates for the 1egisla-
ture are freely questioned as to how
they stand on the issue. In New
York two Democratic conferences are
soon to be held, the one at AlDsny and
the other at Saratoga, and the ac-
ton of the two conferences on this
question will be watched with inter-
est.
The issue is a broad one and the
entire country will become interested
in the outcome. The section or party
that votes against the proposition will
have to make answer in 1912, when
the subject will be reviewed and per-
haps finally determined.

SIX EXCELLENT RULES.

In the Home Herald, Published in
Chicago, the work of saving men and
boys from crime, the best exponents
of which are Judge Lindsey, of Den
yer; Chief of Police Koh1er, of Cleve-
land, and Judge Feagin, Of Birming-
ham, is fully presented, and the Liter
ary Digest for August % GevUtes over
a page to summary of this work. Pic
lures, too, of Judge Feagin and Chief
Kohler are printed, and the one of
Judge Feagin is an excellent likeness.
All three of these men are striving
to save boys and small offenders from
becoming criminals, and Chief Kohler
has distributed six excellent rules to
govern the police force in his charge
as follows:
1. Juveniles were never to be
placed in prison. They were to be
taken home or the parents sent fol
and the child turned over to them fo1
parental correction.
2. The members of the force were
to use their kindly efforts in easing
friction and i1l-temper between man
and man wherever and whenever ii
made itself manifest.
8. That the best policeman is the
one who manages the offender with
the least show or display Of authority
4. That some men fall through
some unfortunate circumstances an6
are not criminal at heart, and should
be treated accordingly; in which case
the best results might be accomplish
ed with a well applied reprim and.
5. Officers should have sufficient
evidence of a competent character to
secure conviction before even consid-
ering the imprisonment of Z person
on any charge whatever.
6. Any apparent violators VITO were
not known to be Of good character
and reputation were to be sccompa-
MED to the precinct station, where
the matter would be carefully inquir-
ed into by the officer in charge, an6
the proper action as specified by the
common sense policy taken.
This system has been il use Is
me nths, resulting in a decrease of TO-
333 arrests below the record of 1907
and in a marked decrease Ct crime
and of property stolen.
Judge Feagin's probation Liam fol
negro boys, and drunkards, end mis-
demeanor cases, is fully set fci III. H.
| puts many of such cases on p obatioI
instead of disgracing them and theil
families by putting them at work OF
the streets. The law permits him tt
do this. The probation officer has SUI
perylsion over 80 men, who e earn
ing support for their families ant
who are in the meanwhile Ike pt ava.
| from criminals. The 80 may becom
! good citizens. There is a chance tha
they may, whereas under the old sys
tenn there was small chance indeed
/ that they would. No system in tn,
court records of the country is &C
complishing more, Comparatively
/ speaking, than Judge Feagins proba
ton plan. But the inquiry naturall.
arises, will there ever be anothe

REFUSE REYES HELP
Mexican Cover nnleht Caring
For Sufferers Without
Interference.
Relief Work Made Necessary by the
Recent Floods Re-
ports of Devastation and
Loss of Life.

Mexico City, Sept. simultaneous
with the arrival at Monterey on
Wednesday night from Galeana of
General Bernardo Reyes came the
Federal announcement that General
Mier, under directions from the Sec
retary of War, would proceed to Mon
terey on a special car to take charge
of the relief work made necessary
there by the recent flood. This is
considered a direct slap at General
Reyes by the Federal government, for
Reyes is the governor of the state of
Nuevo Leon, of which Monterey is the
capital.
The state governments are contrib
uting literally toward the relief fund
and it is believed that $4,000 will be
raised from these sources.
Reports received from points which
have been cut off from communica-
tion since Saturday indicate that eight
towns in Nuevo Leon either are Who'll
ly or partially destroyed. Among these
are Mier Bravo, Camargo, Raynes, Ga
leana and Victoria. Some two dozen
points are yet to be heard from and
grave fears are felt that with the res
toration of communication further de-
struction of life and loss Of property
will be chronicled.
Every life in Tula would have beer
lost had not many of the inhabitants
been forewarned and fled to the hills
The first estimates of property
loss of s30,OOO,OOO and of 10000 fa-
talities as result of the foods may
be under the mark. The highways
over the northern end of the state
have been destroyed, and it may bt
weeks before the telegraph system is
restored to its normal status.
