Experiments in Germany go to show
that airships are likely to be less dan
gerous in war than many enthusiasts
had anticipated. In fact, from latest
reports the danger would seem to be
the other way. A Berlin dispatch
asserts that it is almost impossible
for dirigible balloons to escape the fire
of field pieces and rifles. The ships
cannot rise high enough or make suf-
ficient speed to get out of range. New
and improved artillery makes the
chance of escape still less. And the
fate of an enemy in an airship hit by
shells or balls from hostile weapons
may be better imagined than de-
scribed. Until aviation shall be brought
to greater perfection the airship in
war promises to be a negligible guam
tity.

OPPORTUNITY IN SCHOOL WORK.

The school is no longer mere wait
ing room for people in search of high
er opportunities; it has its own open
ings, and they are not all in university
laboratories, says the New York Even
ing Post. We believe that very few
college men realize what they might
accomplish, were they to train for
school management or for high school
teaching. President Eliot spoke in the
fullness of wisdom the other evening,
when he urged Harvard undergradu-
ates to engage in these lines of work,
adding that they are worthy of an &C
complished man of letters, or of sci
ence, or gifted administrator" Some
there are who still feign to look down
upon the high school teacher or princi-
pal, but the prejudice counts only
against it's cherishers. More than TO-
900 high schools are now open; many
of them are as large as universities,
more prosperous than some, and more
advanced than our fathers colleges
were. Signs are abundant, too, that
they will one day become, in popular
esteem as well as in fact, the center
of the American educational system.
But even if this does not happen, they
will certainly be numerous and strong
enough to reward fittingly the man
who trains himself for their work.

If craftsmanship in Germany and
England has not gone sterile, and dip

making and keeping the peace between
those two countries will speedily be
found. The present situation of
either, as pictured by it's own public
men, is growing rapidly to be intolera-
BILE; while their relations, as expressed
in the alarms and jealousies and re-
ordinations over the desperate COM
petition in naval ornaments, are daily
becoming more bitter and tense. If
ever there was a chance for large
craftsmanship, it is offered to-day on
both sides of the North sea. Unless
skill in diplomatic adjustment has per-
ished there, road to cancellation and
to lasting confidence and friendship
will be found.

SENATORS MAKE HIT.
Iowans Play Conspicuous Role in
Senate.
FOR DOWNWARD REVISION
Senator Aldrich's Failure to Carry
Out the Chicago Platform
Principles Is Making
Many Enemies.

Washington, ID. c., May 1.-THE
result of the last weeks considera.
ton of the tariff bill has been on the
whole to make it clear that the coun-
try need not expect any real tariff re-
vision downwards il Senator Aldrich
and the finance committee can pre-
vent it.
For the last week there has been a
constant discussion and debate in the
senate. Revisionists have fought hard
to force some of the schedules lower,
and in this fighting Senators Cummins
and Dolliver have borne a consistent
and able part. In consideration OF
the glass and steel schedules, Sena-
tor Cummins has been especially ac-
tive and has done much hard work.
Both Cummins and Dolliver have con-
sistently voted for lower duties.
While it is true that on all of the
roll calls Senator Aldrich and his
supporters have been able to over
come the revisionists, this does not
by any means tell the whole story.
The persistent fighting of the revis-
ionists has aroused the high tariff
men to the realization of the intensi.
ty of the opposition in many parts
of the country to the Aldrich bill and
to their failure and refusal to carry
out the pledges of the Chicago plat.
form. Accordingly, they have made
some concessions and will make 9TH
ers. For instance, they were forced
to concede lower duties on common
window glass. They yielded on barb
ed wire and cut duties in half on that
article. Concessions on wire nails al
SO are promised.
Indications are now that the bill
will not be sent to the president be-
fore July 1. Much fighting is ahead,
1t will be the policy of the Iowa sena-
tors and other real revisionists to
keep on fighting. They do not ex-
pect to accomplish anything like all
they feel that ought to be accom-
plished, but they believe some need
ed reductions can be forced, either
in the senate or later on in confer
ence.
That those senators who are fight
ing for revision are meeting with the
country's approval is evidenced by
the flood of letters and kilograms of
congratulatory nature that continue
to pour in on Senators Cummins and
Dolliver.

Some encouragement may be found
in the fact that the March fire loss in
the United States and Canada, given
at $13, 795, 400, shows a marked falling
off as compared with the two immedi-
ately preceding years. The total for
the three months of 1909 was $50, $751;
400, which also was much below the
figures for 1907 and 1908. Having
started well, let it be hoped the pres
ent year will continue the good work.
