NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-An interesting
feature of the aviation meet to begin

about 12 miles from Paris), is plan
for rewardina 1owness in flying. A
prize of $1,000 .ill be divided among
the four aeroplanes taking the long

aerodrome. This race has been ar
ranged to demonstrate the slowest
speed at which an aeroplane can
travel without being obliged to come
to ground in response to the law OF
gravitstion. This will not be greet

the speed madness which is looked for

Terra Ala Kicks.

1t is not often that community
win protest against the establishment
of public Institution within its
Boundaries or In Its .neighborhood,
but there is an instance OF the kind
in West Virginia. The proposal to es-
rtablish state sanitarlpm for tubcr-
culosis patients at Terra Alta on the
crest OF the Allegheny mountains is
being fought by the people OF thai
town and neighborhood. They say
they do want the Institution becuus,
II would ruin the town as SUMMER
resort and would have the effect of
causing many OF the permanent resi-
dents of the place to move elsewhere
THE Terra Alta Republican has taken
determined stand against the prop
ositlon and number OF prominent
citizens there have Joined in the
movement.
OF course. n Terra Alta people do
not want the institution there they
have Il right TO object. but IT seems
that there is undue alarm over the
seeming dangers of such an institu-
t!on. Perhaps If the institution were
nm ordinary hospital. where all kinds
Of diseases were treated. the people
there would not register such a large
kick. The establishment % sani-
iafiim should not necessarily mean
that the germs Of the disease would
be scattered broadcast all over the
place as the institution would not
likely be located right in the heart Of
the town. 1t is quite natural that
Terra Alta would be suggested AS u
good place for the sanitarlum because
Of is altitude.
The movement to establish trs
sanitarium should not be given i
black eye nor u set back however
simply because Terra Alta people do
not want 1t located there. Plenty OF
room is left remaining In the state
and there are many other suitable
locations. The movement is a most
worthy one and the institution would
prove Of great benefit to the sufferers
of the disease as well as a help to
humanity in general in the fight
against the disease

aim the use of the public land so that
1t will promote local development by
he settlement OF homemakers. ThepoI
Icy we champion is TO serve all the
people legitimately and openly. instead
Of permitting the lands TO be convert
ed, iliegitlmately and under cover, to
the private henc6t OF few. Our for
est policy was established so that we
might use the public forests for the
permanent public good. instead of
merely for temporary private gain.
The reclamation net, under which The
desert parts of the public domain are
converted to higher uses for the gen.
rral benefit, was passed so that more
Americans might have homes on the
land.
These policies were enacted into law
and have. justified their enactment.
Others have failed so far to reach the
point of action. Among such is the
attempt 10 secure public control OF the
open range and thus to convert It's
benefits TO the use Of the small man,
who is the homemaker. instead OF al
lowing 1t to be controlled by few
great cattle and sheep owners.
The enactment Of a pure food law
was a recognition of the fact that the
public welfare outweighs the right to
private gain and that no man may
poison the people for his private
profit. The employers liability bill
recognized the controlling fact that,
while the employer usually has at
stake no more than his profit, the stake
Of the employee is living for himself
and his family.
