are outlaws. do not argue against
any mans right to become rich. That

erty. But there is no denying the
outlawry of the rich mans son of

but many
Chicago, New York, Buffalo, Bos-
ton-all of them have furnished many
examples of the liberties taken of
society and of the law by the sons
of the rich. Henry Hazen Hyde, son
of the late president of the Equitable,
wasn't such a brazen outlaw as many,
: but Hyde's peculiar effrontery is his
intense egoism. He lives to cut the
social swash. He delights in shin
ing, and he shines. He cuts all kinds
of shines, including monkey shines.
In New York he was guilty of many
evidences of bad form, but not, per-
haps, more than others of the four
hundred. In Paris he is even worse,
from reports. It's the same all over
with the sons of the rich. Not all
are bad, but the majority of them
take advantage of their position to
do things at which an ordinary NOR
tai would balk. Thaw, Hyde-all of
them of the same ilk. Money talks.
Admitting that the flight of NJ
Bleriot, the French aviator, across
the English Channel Sunday morn
ing, July rs, 1909, was no addition
to the science of aviation, at the
same time as an event in the develop
ment of the heavier than air ma
chimes, it deserves to rank as an
achievement of the first water. The
New York Evening "Sun" is disposed
to discredit the performance, but it
not slow to recognize merit, and NJ.
has been heaped upon him. He
proved something. What had been
considered impossible he made easy
of accomplishment. The Wrights, of
course, take the highest rank as the
first to actually fly; their develop
ment of their machine proved for the
first time that man could really fly,
and that there were possibilities in
the areoplane. Their position in his
tory is assured, beyond doubt. M.
Bleriot, also, proved that a mono
plane flying machine was just as
practical as the biplane, and in one he
crossed the English Channel in a
jiffy. All honor to the Wrights, but
some, also, to M. Bleriot, in common
justice The reward of all three of
these foremost aviators is assured.
The layman does not like to dis
cuss the tariff, principally for the
reason that he doesn't know what
it means. But every man should
study this important question. The
concensus of public opinion seems to
demand a revision OF the tariff on
downward scale, but just when it
would appear that no valid objec-
ton would be raised in the main, up
jumps a section here, another there,
and one away over yonder, and each
has cried, "Let us alone!" The lum-
Der man from Maine, the sugar man
