won the medal and the spectators
hearts at the same time. After that
exhibition no one can doubt that the
aerial age is really here. If we are
not all flying In ten years it will be
because we have not enough money
to buy wings.
The governments prosecution Of the
sugar trust and the indictments
brought against that concern and its
directors, including John e. Parsons,
its chief counsel, show that Uncle
Sam is quite as much In earnest in
Furnishing violations of the antitrust
law as he has been in unearthing and
fnr"in0- restitution from the same cor
poration In the Weighing rrauds at the
New York custom house. This Is all
the more welcome because of the fact
that the trust at one time employed
the law firm of which Henry w. Taft
Is and Attorney General Wickersham
was member. There are plenty Of
political and financial wiseacres here
this fact and said that nothing would
be done. The fact that Henry w.
Taft, brother Of the president, was
counsel In the identical case that
forms the basis of the governments
suit, the one unearthed by Receiver
Earle in which the trust shut down
the refinery of the Pennsylvania Sugar
company. was an especially sweet
morsel to the pessimists. To the glory
or American manhood their predic-
lions have been proved false. With
out regard to party, this should be
food for pride to us all.
The manner In which Police Com
missioner bingham was forced out OF
Office BY the Duffy case is now an
Client history. hut certain political gos-
sip arising therefrom is very much up
to date. For one thing. 1t is said that
Tammany, thoroughly aroused by the
Independent wave sweeping over the
city, Intends to make Judge Gaynor,
the author Of the Duffy letter, its can
didate for mayor. This sort Of talk
ID rather surprising, inasmuch as Gay
nor has been the most talked Of can
dldate Of the independents. 1t would
be still more surprising II the Brook
lyn justice were to listen to this sug-
gestion Of accepting Tammany NOM
nation. The gossip aforesaid goes
into particulars. 1t AYERS that there is
an understanding between Murphy
and Mcclellan and that both are
agreed that Gaynor Is the man. This
would be even more sensational than
Murphy's action in taking up Fornes
and Grout. Independent candidates for
president Of the board of aldermen
ard comptroller on the last Low tick
ct. And while all OF this talk is In
progress Gaynor himself sails for Eu-
rope to be gone till September.
For my simple self, believe that
this sort Of political prophecy is Of the
pipe dream variety; that William J.
Gaynor If he Is a candidate at all. will
run on an independent and not on the
Tammany ticket and that he is not
collision With politicians OF the Muir
ply and Mcclellan stripe Neyerthe-
less the mere fact that lie is talked OF
puts a different face on the political
situation. There Is no gainsaying the
fact that Gaylior would be strong
candidate wherever he might run. AS
Tammany nominee. however. his
personal strength would be much
weakened, since the bulk Of his friends
are sworn enemies of the Murphy ma
chine and for the further reason that
Gaynor's acceptance of such nomi-
nation would imply deal and would
disgust honest men. believe it Is
doing him Il wrong even to consider
such a possibility. As the matter
now stands, however. no certain fore
cast can be made as to candidates be-
fore the early fall There is persistent
talk that the Republicans will insist on
running man of their own. and this
still further complexities the situation.
The Hearst papers charge that this is
part Of the plan of Thomas f. Ryan,
who, they assert, will control the nom

were trying to picture Satan he would
make him look like Ryan.
New York's famous bread line"
which formed in front Of Fieischmann's
bakery on Broadway, has been tempo
rarily wiped out, or, rather. has been
shifted off Broadway by. the destruc-
ton Of the bakery by fire. This pro-
cesslon Of the hungry has long been
one Of the most familiar and one of
the most saddening sights Of the me-
tropolis. The assurance that the bak-
cry will be restored and with It the
bread line therefore brings mingled
feelings-pleasure that the needy will
be fed and sorrow that our civilisa ton
has not progressed to q point beyond
the necessity Of such exhibitions,
