COMING OF THE AIRSHIP.
The Chauffer Will Soon Give Way to
the Sky Pilot.

It is entirely probable, if not, IN
deed. certain, that within a genera
tion the problem of aerial navlga-
tion will be solved, and when IL Is
solved the present attempts IN tn!s
direction will look ridiculous, as WeH
as crude.
Aeroplanes will do for experiments
and dirigible balloons will do TOT
make believes, but the real "a1rshlp
will he built along as practical and
common sense lines as ocea1.so!ns
vessels and railway trains, ngnter
and more artistic and more tracIdple
because of the nature OF the elemenC
through which they will move.
The condition precedent to launcnc :
ing the airship is the cancellation Oh
the attraction of gravitation without
the use of gas, or forcible proJecIloll
at an angle into space. Ihat II can
be cancelled or overcome IS qulte ds
probable. plausible and reasonable as

cries of the past tnirty-three years.

ire electric current in the case OF
a trolley car merely overcomes the
inertia of the car by setting in mo-
ton the machinery that projects II

per hour along the plane OF the norl-

When the proper Cor coming
method of taking or controlling the
electric current that is part OF our
atmosphere, and perhaps, the chle1
constituent of space beyond, and the
proper method of applying it is DIS
covered, it will be as simple and as
precisely in accordance with the law
of dynamics to propel the car, or a
shin. or like contrivance, to the per-
nendicuIar or at an angle, or paral-
lei with the earth's surface at any
desired altitude, as to move vehlcles

now receive it, along steel rails or
over the streets.
But the gasbaggers and aeroplan-
lists will never achieve practlcal re-
suits. And yet, no doubt, there are
nIentv of people now living, some OF
whom will have read this article, VINO
will ride the ETHEREAL blue IN hylnS
balaces, and wonder why the simple
nroblem of aerial navigation was not
solved years earlier.
But the airship is coming; it is near
at hand and electricity is its prophet'

THE DUTIES OF GOOD CITIZEN
SHIP.

Under our form of government the
governing power, and as such he ex-
ercises the privilege of the suffrage.
The good of the nation, the state and
the county will depend upon how in
telligently and conscientiously he uses
the privilege. We must remember
that the exercise of the elective fran
chise is a privilege and not right.
1t is a mistaken notion that voting Is
an inherent right of the American c1tl-
zen. For example, women are cltl-
zens and some of them large taxpay-
ers, and yet under our laws they can
not vote. The elective franchise Is
regulated by law, and age and general
qualifications enter into this regula-
ton. A person who is 20 years, IL
months and 20 days old cannot vote
because the law requires that voter
shall be 21 years of age. He is c1tl-
zen. but he neither has the right nor
the privilege of voting. Those whom
the state has deemed worthy to ex-
ercise the privilege of voting ought
to highly appreciate it. Good citizen
ship requires that every person entl-
tied to vote should at every election
cast his ballot.
Then. in the matter Of holding Of
flee. It is a laudable ambition upon
the part of men to desire to hold Of
fee. A public official is public ser
want, and there is no way in which
a man can show his true patriotism
better than by faithfully and honestly
serving the people, in such POSITIONS
of trust as they may see fit to place
him. It is a responsible thing to hold
public office, and men should always
feel qualified for Office before seeking,
it. r.
We are approaching the time when
candidates for state and county Of
fees must be selected. THE ADVO-
CATE never champions the candidacy
of any PARTICULAR individual for a
nomination, bIzit does counsel the
selection ofsthe best men for the vari-
GUS Offices and pledges them its earn
est support after the nominations are
made. This county will elect the
Democratic candidates, and it be-
hooves the party to put its best men
in the field And it behooves also
good Democrats OF the county, who
are desired to go upon the ticket, TO
give their consent. The party is some
times prevented from placing men
upon the ticket, that the people would
like to vote for, because they will not
give their consent This ought not
to be. A good Democrat who is de-
sired by his party ought to have party
LOYALTY enough to consent to serve.
We are approaching very important
election, and the party in this county
must be in the best possible shape for
it. This county does not usually give
large majorities, but it is regarded IN
the state as one of the surest Demo-
ratio counties. The character OF the
financial management of this county,
and indeed every other department of
our county government, which has
continued for more than forty years,
shows that our intelligent voters ap-
preciate the efforts of the Democratic
party to serve the interests of the
people of the county.

MARBLE MEN AT PROCTOR
Representatives of Vermont Marble
Co. Gather to Discuss Business.

Proctor, Dec. 30.-An interesting
and significant meeting is being held
in this village this week, being a
gathering Of the branch managers,
superintendent and agents of the
Vermont Marble Co. from all parts of
the country except the Pacific coast.
Similar meetings have been held by
the Vermont Marble Co. every four
or five years for several years, but
this is the largest in point of atten-
dance ever held, as for the first time
it embraces all the companys agents
in the Eastern territory. The SEES
sions are attended by large number
Iof managers and superintendent
from the various plants in Vermont.
The aggregation is about 80 men, who
are passing the week in this place,
going over matters affecting the com
pany's business.
All of these men began their work
in the business here in Vermont and
practically all of them are Vermont
boys
The Vermont Marble Co.'S branch
managers are; Chicago, II. d.
Pierce, who went from Cavendish;
Cleveland, C. G. Leavenworth, who
went from new Haven; Boston, f. G.
Holden, who went from Shrewsbury;

BASE BALL
Bennington is Already Shaping Up"
For Next Season.


The Bennington correspondent of
the Troy Press, in summarizing the
career of last seasons huckleberry
team, says: Among other mines
that the locals completely outplayed
on different occasions were those
that represented Hoosick Falls, North
Adams and Pittsfield. When it is
taken into consideration that the
Hoosick Falls team was composed of
league players and was regarded as
the most perfect semi-professional
aggregation in northern New York,
the reason for the pride shown by
Bennington people in general for the
local boys last summer is easily ap-
parent Time and again the village
wonders demonstrated their mettle
and ability as ball tossers on the 10
cal diamond and it is because the
members of last seasons nine were
real players that Manager e. S. Hig
gins is now making energetic efforts
to have practically the same nine in
harness during the summer months
Of next year"
All of which looks fine on paper
and from a distance and, excepting
the fact that Bennington never play
ed the Hoosick Falls team composed
of league Players is all right. Ben
nington certainly hSd a splendid team
last season, and we hope may have as
good an aggregation next season,
but she'll have to come out of the
patches oftener. if she wants to pose
as a world-beater. Pitcher Haynes,
Johnny Mickey. Gable Prihdle, Lloyd
Waters, Jack Inglis and Harry Cherry
are slated for the coming season. All
good men.-Hoosick Falls Democrat.

DECLINE OF PATRIOTISM
Dollar Mark is Above the Stars and

compensation of the members of a
commission of three appointed by
him to appraise damages to property
along highways resulting from the
construction of Ashokan reservoir in
Ulster county to furnish a water sup

Justice Howard reduces the com

$3.50 each to $4,000 and declares in

rapacity were the law of the Ashokan
