HoNoRrNa rHr wRlaHrs.

Two hard headed and hard working Americans were signally honored in their boyhood home. among their old friends, at Dayton, Ohio. A few years ago they were only. in the estimation of the few who knew them, a couple of foolish workmen. pottering around with an impossible flying machine. But today the civilized world honors them as the greatest developers of flying machine since that mythological time when Icarus flew too near the sun and the wax on his wings was melted.
 Wilbur and orrviile Wright have not yet made an absolutely safe flying ma chine-a machine that can be depend ed upon as much as an ordinary auto noble. On the contrary. only an ex- pert would venture on one of their aeroplanes. But notwithstanding that, they have done more towards enabling man to fly than any other inventor who ever lived or died. They have built a flying machine that will hy-and this has never been done before
 One of their heavier than afr aero- planes rises from the grounds and fits through the air, here and there at the touch of the afr pilot until miles and miles have been covered. They have made all other flying machines and di- rigible balloons look clumsy, common place and impossible. Whatever other advance there may be made in avia- ton. it must be started on and made from the Wright aeroplane. They have in all the history of aviation the larg- est place.
 It was we'll that the State of Ohio and the United States honored them with medals. They have succeeded in launching an epoch-making invention, and were they natives of any Euro pean country that country would pay them the highest of honors. In the past fifty years the world has made a greater inventive and mechanical ad- vance than in all the years before. The Wrights have just added to the ac- complishments of the present genera tion one of the great inventions of all ages. It is within the range of pos abilities that the aeroplane built by the Wrights may affect and change the current of human life as much as the cumbersome locomotive built by George Stevenson.

 We pronounce that writer a compe- tent witness on the subject. If he doesn't speak from personal and warm experience he has read up the subject until he knows all about it. Of a truth, yellow jackets are warm mem bers of the animal kingdom.

 It Is claimed by the Supreme Court of Missouri that the railroads of that state cannot be operated profitably on a two cent passenger basis, and the three cent rate has been e-established. If the roads of as large a state as Missouri cannot make anything on the two cent rate, 1t is only a question of time when such states as Alabama and Georgia will go back to the old three cent rate.

Would Raise a Row.

It is a rather pretty sentiment this talk about presenting President Taft with a Confederate uniform to wear on certain occasions. but 1t might be better to take out the matter in talk ing Should he accept the distinction, and he might not do so. he might stir up such a row as would make people think the war was on again. Things The son of Grant accepts a statue of a Confederate Lee and there are other things to make the people hopeful that the chasm Is entirely crossed a1d it may be better to let we'll enough alone. The recent commotion about Davis pie ture on the Mississippi silver service was only flash in the pan, it is true, but if some high grade idiot gets to paving the air about Taft in a gray uniform 1t might make some southern folks mad sure enough.

abuse their privilege. whether allowed
TO or not. they will be bringing Oh
