Station House Deaths From Drink

AS long as intoxicated men are placed
under arrest and taken to police sta
tions instead of being regarded as pa
tients and removed to hospitals there will
be occasional deaths in the cells, such
as that which occurred Saturday night.
Despite all the regulations for the treat
ment of alcoholic cases BY the police
when they are taken In hand these unfor-
Inmates will from time to time succumb.
The station house is no place for them.
They should be given immediate medical
attention by trained physicians. who can
keep them under constant observation
and administer restoratives in case of
need. Unless each police station is
equipped with physician the city should
either arrange for the care of the victims
of alcoholism at one of the hospitals or
provide an alcoholic establishment OF its
own. without a specific appropriation no
such institution can be created. and there
are no funds to pay for the treatment OF
such cases at the privately managed hos
pita!s. The Districts dilemma in this re-
gard should be set before Congress in the

The Public and the Planes

The conquest of the air by the planists
has stirred the public imagination to It's
depths. There is probably a keener de-
sire on the part of the average individual
today to see an airplane in operation
than has ever before been. felt in the
case of a novelty. The immense crowds
that went daily from this city to Fort
Myer last summer on the chance of see
ing Orville Wrisht fly around the pa
rade ground were an effective evidence
of this overwhelming curiosity When
Wilbur Wright was scheduled to give
exhibitions In New York during the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration enormous crowds
gathered on the river bank in the
hopes Of catching a glimpse OF the man
bird. At Rheims. during the interna-
tional aero meet a few weeks ago. the
concourse of people was tremendous.
Even the dirigible balloon has it's ir-
resistib,e attraction for the crowd. When
Count Zeppelin recently reached Berlin

from Lake Constance after several eff
forts he was cheered by the largest num-
Der of people ever gathered into a single
crowd
Yesterdays rioting in France instanced
the intense desire of the people to see
the navigation Of the air accomplished
A competition was in progress short
distance out of Paris. and in anticipa-
ton of large crowd Sunday the rail-
road advertised trains every four minutes
for the two towns. which. a mile apart
marked the bounds of the aviation field,
twelve and half. miles from Paris. Ow-
ing to some failure of the management
train service became demoraliZed and
the crowds broke beyond control and
did great damage to the rolling stock
OF the line. 1t is estimated that at least
COO people burst through the barriers
at the aviation field and took possession
of the points of vantage, including the
grandstand, without paying a penny.
Fully $4,000 more people who left Paris
for Juvisy were unable to get to the
grounds.
This curiosity is comprehensive. For
generations men have been trying to
solve the problem of human flight and
have undertaken numerous experiments
at the cost of life which have been re-
garded by skeptics as futile. The ac-
complishment of the object of these ex-
periments and endeavors has come sud-
denly, so to speak. Within two years the
heavier-than-air machine has been
brought to the point of practical use.
Public imagination has been excited. vi
sions of air navigation for everyday
purposes are already entertained. A liter
AZURE has developed on the subject Ro-
nance writers are now turning out air
plane novels with the confidence born Of
everyday proof that the 'airship" has
at last arrived. It is natural. therefore,
that in these early days of demonstra-
ton the public should be aroused to
an overwhelming desire to witness
flights

Enjoyment of the Air.
The Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Do those who soar in airships these fall
days enjoy the atmosphere more than
those who walk the land and follow the
hedgerows? Will aerial tours in the soft
autumna1 season, when the airship comes
into general use. magnify the delights of
October weather? 1t is to be doubted
rather it is to be denied. Let aerialists
paint as they will the light and shade eff
fects upon the clouds Of the sun as they
look from their baskets upon the vaporous
shapes. But cannot the earth wanderer
gaze upward and get at least a substan-
tial portion of the beauties of cloud weav-
ings In threads Of amber, of purple and
gold? Is this all that the upper atmos-
phere means to those who tread the I'M
tracked pathways Of the wind? What else
remains. when the earth has passed out
of the field of vision? Dearth, monotony
unmeaning and unguided motion that can
not be detected save by the swish of the
air currents. when one knows not whether
he is ascending higher or going lower
only as he consults special instruments.

An International Relief Organization

This is the era of internationalism.
Steadily spirit of understanding is

ing a new sense of brotherhood. When
ever disaster overtakes a land this spirit
Is shown in liberal contributions for the
relief of the sufferers. The peoples of
all chimes vie with one another in an
effort to reduce suffering and to facilitate
the recovery of stricken regions from
their misfortunes.
AT a late meeting of the permanent
peace bureau. at Brussels, g. resolution
vas adopted suggesting that the various
governments of the world join in the
creation of an international fund for the
relief of sufferers in the event Of the
occurrence of great disasters in any part
OF the world. The bad management of
the funds subscribed for the relief of
victims of the Italian earthquake, it is
reported. prompted the suggestion
Already there is in existence an or

row between Thomas Taggart and
Gov. Marshall? Do not believe it. Has
not Mr.. Taggart just said that Mr.
Bryan will cut no figure in the next
democratic national convention. but that
Gov Marshall Will be the choice Of that
body for President? 1t is plain open
and shut to Mr.. Taggart.
The prediction is not important ex-
cept as Indicating the line Of the new
anti-Bryan endeavor. The favorite
son business is to be employed this
time in states which were not worked
in the preliminaries leading up to the
Denver convention last year.
At that time neither Gov. Marshall
nor Coy. Harmon had arrived" Gov.
Johnson was in office, and willing to
lead his party. but no loud re-
Spouse followed the mention of his name.
The Parker ffasco had of course removed
New York from the calculation The
only hope, therefore, of dividing and con-
quering the Bryan forces was by an ap-
peal to the south, where the democracy
lives and has it's being.
The appeal was made, but in SO alb
surd and amateursh fashion it caused
only amusement. Mr. Bryan's friends
followed it with a sort of approval
and encouragement. When they read
the stilted puffs of Senator Culber-
son, Senator Daniel, Judge Gray,
Gov. Beckham and others they said in
their hearts, THE day Is ours. We shall
sweep things. Men of that grade are
not to be caught with rose-colored CUFF;
and that seems to be the opposition's
only material. We are the people"
The reasoning was sound. The gaudily
eulogized read the eulogies. scrap-booked
the stuff to convince their descendants
that there was a time when humor in
politics was broad in this broad land,
and went TRANQUILITY about their daily af-
fairs. Not q man OF them was induced
to play the game. and the suggestion

reflection on both character and intelli-
gence was put aside through sheer good
nature. Politicians and judges SO strong

Gov. Marshall Ohio for Gov. Harmon If
he is reelected, New York for Judge
Gaynor if he is chosen mayor, and SO on.
If possible, half a dozen favorite sons
living north of Mason and Dixon's line
will be paraded for the countrys inspec-
ton and entertainment. But, towering
over all, and with a following in all the
states thus roped into the scheme against
him, will be the man from Nebraska,
three times defeated, but still full OF gin
ger, and extremely anxious to test for

Jerome and the Campaign.

sides. He is in bad company, but out In

Today Mr.. Jerome is neither fish, flesh,

The step was probably well taken.
Prospects were not bright. Other men

But it is announced that Mr.. Jerome,

who enjoys a lively scrap. expects to
see one, and is comfortably perched on
the fence for observation purposes.
Why does not Mr.. Jerome throw what
ever influence he still exercises against
Tammany? He has said as severe things
as ever Judge Gaynor did about the or
ganization. He has fought it even more
vigorously. He has triumphed over 1t,
and interpreted his triumph as an ex-
preston of the wish of the people that
the district attorneyship be kept out Of
the clutches Of men who would use the
office for private rather than for pub
lie purposes.
Now. either the Tammany candidate or
the republican candidate will succeed
Mr.. Jerome. Both candidates are men
of good standing. but Mr.. Battle, as
Tammany's man, represents the influence
that Mr.. Jerome abhors. II he reaches
office through the Tammany power he
will not have as free a hand as Mr..
Jerome thinks district attorney should
have for prosecuting the criminal classes.

logic, however, has little to do with poll
tics-Mr. Jerome should exert himself
against Tammany. If he can persuade

of men he once persuaded. he should poll
every one of them for Judge Whitman.
To sulk simply because there was no
thoroughfare for himself Is not the
proper caper for man of Mr.. Jerome's

Sane Francisco's Celebration.

This is year when fresh emphasis has
been laid upon many historic events, and
many cities, especially in the newer part
of the country. have been casting about
to find genuine justification for drawing
attention to themselves, lest. in the gem
eral forward movement the world should
pass on and forget them. California
has found 1t in the discovery of San
Francisco bay by Gaspar de Portola, it's
first Spanish governor. in 1859. The 140sh
anniversary of that event is a somewhat
arbitrary point of history to select for
this purpose. but it will serve in the alb
sence of a better. 1t is being recognized
as valid, not only by our own govern
ment, but also by foreign governments,
and men of war are scurrying from vari-
Gus points of departure to meet and give

Instinct.

There are numerous fish in the sea,
And the big fellows swallow the small,
And the next in size
Seek weaker prize.
And the minnow has no show at all.
There are numerous fowls in the air
And they chatter and croak and sing.
And the biggest swoop
On the barnyard coop,
Or the bird with a wounded wing
There are numerous beasts in the field
They below or bleat or bray;
And the stronger strives
For the weaklings' lives,
And scorns to evade the fray.
There are numerous men in the street
And we try to be good and kind
But we'll evolute
Ger a good, long route,
Ere we leave all the rest behind.
