TRYING y THOUSAND WINGS.

(Van Norden.)
Some one is building of thinking
about building a heavier-than-air fly
ing machine in almost every mid
dlesex village and farm of the coun>
try There are records of about 1000
different enterprises. Within a radius
Of 100 mil9s of the City Hall of New
York there are something like so
flying machines some of them con-
structed on scientific lines by scien-
tific men, and others have taken shape
though wild fancy and untried theory.
Go to the Norris Park racetrack and
you may understand how eagerly men
are following this lure of the air. The
Aeronautic Society Of New York has
leased the place for its aviation
grounds and in the abandoned pad
docks and sheds are housed a dozen
finished and partly finished heavier
than-air machines. In overalls and
jumpers, night and day, millionaires
and mechanics are working side by
side as if the very price of existence
were the completion of their devices.
In this group are three physicians, a
lawyer one capitalist, three of four
successful engineers, one automobile
dealer and several investors and sci
entists, all of whom have practically
abandoned every other interest and ac-
tivity in life aside from the pursuit
Of flying. Two of these machines
have already been wrecked in initial
trials, others may meet the same fate,
but that will not dishearten the build
ers. They will keep on mending and
trying. They have learned at last
that men cannot initiate the birds in
flying. Men must fly in his own way
and that way is not an easy one.

A "THIRD PARTY" MOVE.

Several weeks ago the East Oregon
ian advised the formation Of a third
party" for the purpose Of working out
a more satisfactory solution of the
LIQUOR question. The advice was that
those who do not believe in radical
ism upon this subject get together and
take the fight out of the hands of the
saloonmen and the prohibitionists.
Since the matter was taken up by
this paper a wonderful sentiment in
favor of this plan has been disclosed.
Scores Of men who voted for prohi-
bition as a rebuke to the old saloon
interests now say they would prefer
few closely regulated saloons to pro-
hibition. They don't like the present
lawlessness nor do they like to see
bie liouor business carried on without
the city deriving any revenue from the
same.
This evening a mass meeting Will be
held for the purpose of taking steps
to insure the proper regulation OF the
saloon business should the people OF
the county vote "wet" at the next state
election. The proposition being con-
sidered is that of drafting an ordin-
ance and possibly a charter amend
ment that will provide for the rigid
regulation Of saloons in this city pro-
vided saloons are legalized again.
This move is a business mems move
and it is also a move in behalf OF law
and decency. Under the plan propos-
ed the present. number Of saloons Fill
be cut in half; back rooms and am
usement features will be eliminated;
safeguards will be thrown about min
ors and habitual drunkards and liquor
dealers will be held under such re-
straint that they will not dare to vio-
late the laws or the regulations Of the
city. If they do they will lose thous-
ands of dollars.
It is difficult to understand how
anyone can object to the move pro-
posed. 1t is a precautionary move
designed to insure proper regulation
OF saloons in the event they are legal
lied again. Prohibitionists should not
object to the plan. saloonmen may
object, for the scheme looks to re-
duction Of the present number Of
drinking places; to making saloonmen
nav high licenses and to insisting that
the business be conducted without any
debauchery. But it makes little diff
ference whether saloonmen object or
not. The present move was not start
ed in the interests Of saloonmen nor
in the interest of prohibitionists. It
IS third party" movement.

As TO ENFORCEMENT.

The chief argument used against
the proposal for few closely regu-
lated saloons in place Of the "blind
pig" system is that the laws for regu-
laton would not be enforced. Critics
point out that prior to the advent Of
prohibition the saloons were not we'll
regulated.
That the old saloons We're not we'll
regulated is entirely true. 1t was
largely because Of that fact that the
county went dry But the people have
had a lesson and it is one they will
profit by. If the liquor business is
again legalized in this county the
business will be well conducted. The
business will be better regulated than
it is at the present time under prohi-
bltion. Local people will insist that
this be done for they will know that
unless they manage the saloons prop
erly the county will vote them out
again.

agree to live together without feeling
confident that they will care for each
others company for long. 1t turned out
20 be a failure. IT is said that the man
already has another helpmeet in view.
What will become of the woman
whom he is leaving and whether she
was as anxious as he to dissolve their
union is not made clear. Human ma
ture is such that the woman who en-
tiers this relation is much more likely
to form a real attachment of the heart
lin course of time than the man.
She may find her notions regarding
"soul mates" and mental polygamy"
giving way to love which admits but
a single object, If her partner proves
at all worthy and sometimes even
when others can see no reason for her
devotion to him.
on the other hand the man may
speedily develop a feeling Of aversion
for a woman who gives herself to him
il this way. This is another natural
phenomenon that is, however, more
easily explained than the love of
woman for the man who abuses her.
It is strange that women do not see
how much greater is the risk they run
in marrying on trial than that which
their partners assume. The women are
in danger Of being left to their own
resources after their youth and fresh>
ness are gone, and the chances are
small that they will be asked to make
a more serious attempt at home-build-
ing.
And what Of the children born in
trial wedlock? Fortunately the ten
dency is for children of trial mar
riages to be few. Children are not
gwen much consideration by parties
who contemplate such unions. If a |
trial marriage fails and there happen |
to be offsprings to share the results,
the mother is likely to cling to them |
and to have the burden of supporting
hem and bringing them up.
Most of the supermen and visionary
women who plan trial marriages ac-
,ept the theory of Plato, that all chill
lren shall be brought up by the state.
