BoULEvARDs ARE BENEFICIAL.
Indianapolis Urged to Follow Plan
of Kansas City.

From the Indianapolis Star.
The fear that the present park board
or some similar succeeding body may
order parks and boulevards to an extent
oppressive and unpopular with the peo-
pie is a mistaken one. discredted both
by experience elsewhere and by the very
nature Of the case.
Experience with boulevartks is that
as burden and an imposition, but as
most profitable investment, so that
property owners ask for new boulevards
faster than the authorities can construct
them.
There is painful uniformity about the
annals OF municipal progress in such
wards. in every city and in successive
generations. While enlightened officials
ana far-seeing property owners are try
ing TO adorn the city, perfect it's roads
and make provision for congested popu-
lations of the future. there are always
for these purposes and like to pose and
strut around as the friends of taxpayers
and the foes of oppression. In their
fevered dreams parks are an oppression,
pavements an unconScionable burden
and boulevards only an instrument of ex-
tortion.
No. Indianapolis is not as large or as
rich as Kansas City; and unless we are
willing to travel the road that Kansas
City has gone we may never become so.
The cities that grow in size, wealth,
beauty and fame are not those that are
dominated by property owners who

Capt. Qualtrough's Case in Hands OF
Secretary Of Navy.

Secretary Newberry has just received
the official record OF the case of Capt
Edward F. Qualtrough, formerly in COM
mand Of the battleship Georgia of the
Atlantic fleet, who was convicted by
court-martial. convened at Gibraltar, of
the charge of being Intoxicated at an Of

Qualtrough was relieved Of command of
the Georgia. The approval OF the Sec
rotary of the Navy is necessary. how
ever. before that portion of the sentence
prescribing a loss of numbers can be put
into official effect.
The friends of the officer are en-
deavoring to secure mitigation of the
sentence. They regard it as unduly
severe under the special circumstances
OF the case as developed at the trial.
where testimony was given to show
that the officer was Ill at the banquet in
Tangier as a result of protracted service
on the bridge of his ship and was not
in condition to stand the small quantity
of wine he consumed at the dinner. 1t

POSSIBLE AERIAL ATTACK.
Dangers That Might Threaten the
United States.

FROM the century.
Great Britains situation gives point to
the question of the possibilities of aerial
attack on this country in case of war and
of what should be done that we may be
properly prepared to meet such attack.
Our needs are not SO pressing as those Of
England because we have no such power
full neighbors near enough for aerial ex-
petitions to be started out from their own
countries as a base Of operations.
STILL in any future war two general
plans of attack will be open to our an
tagonists Bases of operations could be
established in Canada or Mexico, either
by agreement or force, from which aerial
fleets could be operated; also aerial sor
ties could be made from ships fitted up
specially for the purpose. With a suit
able base established in the vicinity of
Montreal. attacks by dirigible balloons of
the Zeppelin type could be made ON Bos-
ton or New York or the inland cities of
the nearby states. From bases in Canada
located along the great lakes, Buffalo, De-
troit. Chicago. Milwaukee and Duluth
could be reached, while British Columbia
would afford good point from which
Seattle and Portland could be threatened.
Such attacks are not visionary, but act
ually could be made, with a reasonable
chance Of success with dirigible balloons
now in the hands Of some of the European
nations.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
WHEELING. w. Va, February 20, 1909.
Since Gov. Dawson this week confirmed
the story that he was to be appointed to
gather manufacturing statistics for Uncle
Sam in China and Japan soon after he
leaves Office March the interest Of all
concerned with politics in West Virginia
will be centered on the changes to come
from the passing of the governor from
active politics.
recognized head Of the republican state
organization. Senator Elkins has been
regarded as the power behind the throne
at times. but he got busy only when he
needed something personally, and he was
then and on all other occasions forced
to deal with Dawson, for the governor
never released his grip.
Gov. Dawson will leave his office with
the respect OF many of those who fought
his nomination and election with intense
bitterness and who kept at 1t up to within
year ago. Never popular in the inti-
mate PERSONAL sense, he has won the es-
TEEN and admiration Of ths state gener-
ally. His debilitated appearance, recog-
n1zed as due to prolonged days and nights
of nervous strain because of the techni-
cal character Of the mass Of tax legis-
lation considered during his administra-
ton. has served largely to win for him
a sympathy heretofore denied. Conse-
quently West Virginians Of all faiths will
hope for q pleasant career for the retir
Ing governor in his new field.
Summary Of Probabilities.
The passing of Dawson from the politi-
cal arena leaves several probabilities for

zation. For awhile there will be a work.
