Cnnnnest Of the Air

The difficult problems Of aerial av-
igation are by no means solved, but
wonderful progress has been made in
recent years toward their solution. In
the heavier-than-air machines the
Wright brothers Of this country are
easily in the lead, but In the class of
dirigible balloons American ingenuity
must for the present yield supremacy
to Count Zeppelin of Germany. The
remarkable feat OF sailing ass miles
from a point in Bavaria to Berlin and
then returning is so far In advance OF
other aeronautic achievements as to
put II in a class by itself. All efforts
to navigate the air are at the mercy of
the elements and the air currents, II
strong, are still an insuperable OBJ
stacle to the control of flight and
changing temperatures similarly fatal
to long continued one
The success of Count Zeppelin and
the Wrights indicates clearly that the
principles on which such machines de-
pSnu nave Deeu anu III ldl &c
measure mastered. Present knowledge,
however, does not permit of the appli-
cation of sufficient power to overcome
the obstacles OF even slightly unfavor-
able weather conditions. The machines
are too frail to sustain the weight of
more powerful engines or to resist the
effects of their vibration. These diff
culties must be met before either class
Of air vehicles can become of practical
use, either for war or in peace. The
failure, so far, to meet these require
ments is not to be wondered at, neither
is it discouraging, but It is rather an
encouragement that so much has been
accomplished in the comparatively
short time since the first substantial
progress was achieved.
The first practical use of the air
ship has been %foreseen by military
men and the armies of all nations are
working industriously for their per-
lection. Whether air locomotion will
ever be a factor in every day affairs
can no more be predicted than could
the present day use of the telephone,
the telegraph and the steam engine at
the time of their incipiency.

Exports and Imports.

Less than one-tenth of the manu-
features Of the United States are ex-
ported while the imports of manufac-
tured articles equal less than one
twentieth of the home product. These
are the figures of the statistical alb
stract prepared by a bureau of the De-
parthent of Commerce and Labor,
Another exhibit contained in the re-
port shows that the proportion of the
total manufactures exported has been
steadily increasing since 1850. In that
year it was .066 per cent and in 1905,
the last yea in which comparative fig
ures are ~obtainable, 1t was .0S2. In
the latter, year the value of exported
manufactures was 1896, 100000. In
some respects these figures might be
misleading because the bureau classes
as manufactures, cured meats and
grains which have been converted into
fo~odstuffs. Such articles reduce mate
rally the value of exports of what is
ordinarily called manufactured goods.
There has been a decrease. however,
in recent years, of the per cent of food
stuffs exported which would indicate
that the amount of other manufac-
lures exported had increased more
than is indicated by the figures.
The really. noteworthy part Of the
report is the summary of the total
value of the manufactures of the
country. In 1850 they were estimated
at 81, 900. O0O. 900, while in 1905 the
estimate had risen to $4,000, 900, 900.
OF this vast sum, $4,000, OO0, 900 rep
resented the valuation added to raw
material by the process of manufac-
ture.
Foreign m is valuable and
worth fighting for but the immensely
greater size of the domestic trade in
manufactures and the labor required
to add that $4,000. OO0, 900 to the
value of raw material makes a home
market worth still more and must not
be ruthlessly sacrificed or impaired.

Georgia Strike Settlement.

The settlement of the strike on the
Georgia railroad has averted what
promised to be a serious complication.
The railroad officials and the en-
ployes have taken cognizance of the
fact that they were raising an issue
which promised to be more far-reach-
ing than a simple labor difference and
have agreed to arbitrate. The race
question, always acute in the south,
brought into the controversy factors
which had no direct interest in 1t and it
was from this source that serious
trouble was menaced.
In ayerting such a conflict all con-
cerned are to be congratulated al
though they would have appeared in
better light If they had never raised
the race issue. The country is looking
to the south to solve the race cues
ton and the tendency of the best
thought there is directed to the prob
lem. Disturbances such as those
caused by this strike only delay the
solution by stirring up passions. The
agreement for the settlement OF the
strike by arbitration was just as feas-
ible before the outbreak as after II
and the best interests Of all should
have dictated an earlier to it.

A Monument to the Regnlar.

The dedication at Gettysburg of a
monument to the regular soldier is an
act OF belsted Justice. The deeds OF
the volunteer have been sung in song
and story and many monuments have
been erected to his memory. No fault
can be found with this for he deserves
all his tributes. The volunteer dis
played self-sacrifice and courage of the
highest type. From the foundation of
the government 1t has been the policy
to maintain a small standing army,
relying on the volunteer in times of
war and the volunteer has never failed
his country, The regular army has
never been large enough to form more
than a nucleus OF the nations fighting
force, but his training and discipline
have been an invaluable asset; II has
been the military leaven which vital
lied the entire mass.
The regular has no state and no
home community to sound his praises,
and his numbers were SO few in the
civil war that he was almost ignored
later in the distribution of credit
marks, yet he came from the same
source as the voiunteer-the body OF
the American people and with the same
origin he naturally performed his duty
in the same courageous manner and is

MONEY PILING UP.
Dangerous Abundance Around specu-
IatIve Pit.

lattve Pit.
New York World.
From every speculative pit in the coun-
try comes the report that money is easy
Money is easy, of course, when it is abun
dant, and when the; big gamblers can Dor
row Il, at cheap rates Of interest. While
the use of money may be had at nominal
cost in the centers of speculation, 1t is
noticeable tina most commodities are high
and that legitimate business is not wholly
satisfactory. Men interested In productive
enterprises do not always find money easy.
II money and credit were as. cheap TO
them as they are to the manipulators OF
stocks, grain and cotton, there would be
no regular weekly reports of the increas-
ing movement of currency from the in
terror of New York.
Money accumulates here because there
is a demand for 1t in speculation and be-
cause, In theory at least, 1t cannot be en-
ployed to advantage In business. To what
extent country bankers openly discriminate
against productive enterprises paying high
rates Of interest in favor Of a betting
game In which the returns for the use of
money are only nominal can be imagined,
but not exactly determined. II must be
large. Under these conditions it may be
well for those who are inclined to look into
the nature of things to inquire whether
the prosperity which all are seeking and
many signs OF which are visible has been
sought in the right place. There is moth
ing substantial In speculation. In COM
parison with the genuine activities OF labor
and capital IL is as a bubble TO a battle
ship. II prosperity first shows itself In
crazy speculation, with the financial re-
sources of the country largely devoted to
the game, someone should make an inspec-
ton OF it's foundations.

New York Sun.
The moral support Of all good citizens OF
New York 10 due to Collector Loeb. IL he
is In fact beginning a vigorous effort tc
uncover the corrupt relations that have
existed between one OF the most power
full of the great combinations of capital
known as trusts and dishonest employe
of the United States in our custom house.
The hand OF Justice has already been
laid heavily upon the nape Of the neck
Of this defrauder of the government and
c%orrupter OF the servants OF the people,
the American Sugar Refining company.
That concern has been compelled to dis.
gorge a part of the proceeds of its system
tice. II we are not mistaken, is sun occu-
pied with the sugar trusts affairs.
In the custom house itself no investi-
cation by Mr.. Loeb can be too search
attic rascality. The Department of Jus
ing. no process Of reorganization can be
too t-horoughgoing, no publication of the
service can be too persistent to suit a
community now well aware Of the put
ridity of this whole business. Let the guilty
relation be traced to its terminals in bcth
directions, and let the penitentiary oper
for the corrupters as well as the cor
rupted!
There is now in Washington an honest
president, incapable of arresting the hand
OF justice while he himself trades some
piece of conviction Tor some personal or
political advantage. There is a secretary
OF the treasury who is credited with a
genuine wish to get to the very bottom
Of the ~rottenness already in part exposed.
There is a public sentiment demanding the
punishment of every person concerned in
the sugar trust-custom house conspiracy
and fraud.

st. Louis Globe-D Democrat
The Presbyterian church has done great
and mighty works. 1t has belted the. globe
with its missionaries, and II has suppressed
much smoke once rising from fires built
for the making Of cannibal feasts. II has
plugged many holes through which the
DEVILS smoke once rose into the world. II
has put out many fires of hatred, malice
and all uncharitableness, the smoke of
which is always black and smells badly.
But now it is going up against the smoke
in which none of the evil attributes
named can be found My Lady Nicotine is
no cannlbal. She wooes us to such love
OF our fellow man that we would rather
keep than eat him. She launts the devil
to his face and her smoke is as that of a
backfire built against him. And her smoke,
II IL be worthy of her, is never black, but
blue, and 1t is as the odor of sweet in
cense. The men who love her love her
with a passionate devotion which even
the stern logic of Calvinlsm may not cool.
What the Presbyterian church might do
IL 1t should thunder forth a threat of
Punishment for disregard of the Denver
resolution, 1t is not for us to say. But
when the brethren omitted the penalty il
strikes us that some OF them must have
felt that the session was growing long
and that it was a long time between
smokes.
