hope I'll live to see the day
The air will be plumb full of things
A-scootin' north and east and west
And south and on their Wide-spreadin
wings;
I've walked in many weary ways
I've scrambled up hills steep and high
And now before l leave the game.
By jung! I'd like chance to fly!
I don't mean that I'd care to go
Zing-whiZZin' up above the clouds.
Nor up above the SkyScraper roofs,
Nor above trees. nor above crowds.
I'd like to dip and skim and glide,
And go a-sailng round and round,
And east and west and back again
About six inches from the ground
That's high enough for me to fly,
That's high enough to glide and scoot
I'd hate to be SO high that I
Would need to have a parachute
If the dufiicker failed to work
Or the thing bob jumped a cog,
I'm 'fraid I'd bust wide open like
A small boy pops polly-wog.
Yes. thinkin' the thing over some,
Six inches is plumb high enough
Since l am old and fat and bald
/ don't like playin' games that's rough
Id rather play at tiddleywnks
Than play good swift game of ball
And footballs Well, | wouldn't care
To take foot at that at all.
But I do want to fly Just once
Before / leave this vale of woe,
/ want to skim across the sky
About six inches high or SO;
When | go up to my reward.
And Peter comes with swOOp and skin
I'd like to be in practice SOS
To do a marathon with him.

Our Relations With China.

According to Reuters Agency note
the United States government is pre-
pared, provided American interests be
safeguarded, to waive the protest
which is lodged with the Chinese gov
eminent against the exclusion Of the
United States from the Hankow-
Szechuan Railway loan arrangement.
New York Herald.
The intelligence contained in that
paragraph is of serious import to New
England manufacturers. China is in
a state of transition from the barbar-
ian to the civilized state and every
little incident in the process creates an
impression all out of proportion to it's
importance. Thus if this comparative
Iy insignificant loan is permitted to be
made independent of American in
vestors, except as they may see fit to
"get in" via Europe, the ever-observ-
ant Chinaman will promptly reach the
conclusion that America is poor re-
lation of the European nations and not
worthy of much consideration.
That state of affairs would not mat
ter much if American investors were
not seeking an outlet for a heavy mon
ey market in Chinese enterprises.
Our relations, financial and otherwise,
with the Far East, will become closer
and closer as the Panama Canal is
completed and the merchant marine of
the Pacific coast finds more business.
We cannot afford at this time to let
the impression get abroad that the
United States can be left out of any
little diplomatic situation arising in
the East, without protest. We need
China's business and she needs our
funds. New Englands cotton mills
feel the fluctuations in the warmth of
China's feeling for America very SEN
sibly.

The Safety of Aerial Navig alton.

One of the Wright brothers is credi-
ted with the assertion that an aero
plane is as safe as an automobile. 1t
strikes us, however, that the old lady's
comparison between travel by land
and by water would also apply to the
problems of aerial navigation. IF" she
said You meet with an accident on
the land, why, there you are; but II
Won meet with an accident on the water
where on airth are ye?" Even one OF
the Wright brothers, skillful man that
he is met with a painful accident that
laid him up for weeks, and caused the
death of his companion. If such an ac-
cident were possible to him, how much
more likely it would be to occur in the
case Of one lacking his skill and expe-
rience. What Mr. Wright meant to say
probably was that given the same
number of automobiles and aeroplanes
trayersing the earth and navigating
the air, and the percentage of accidents
to the aeroplane would be no greater
than those to the automobiles. This OF
course is simply one mans opinion
Aerial navigation has not yet advanced
far enough or become common enough
to enable us to discuss the dangers in
volved with anything approaching au-
thority.
I'D to the present time the question
of the danger involved in aerial navl-
CATION has been given very little at
tention from the fact that the public at
large has not, until very recently re-
garded this mode Of travel as at all
practical. But events have moved rap
idly and the world is now face to face
with the fact that man has completed
the conquest of the air, and that new
and golden age of travel is at hand
The suggestion has been made that air
ships might be provided with life
prescrvers" even as are the craft that
DIV the waters, such life preservers
taking the form of individual para
chutes which might be found even
more serviceable in time of accident
than are the preservers used upon the
water.
1t is folly to suppose that the aero
plane has reached the limit of it's per-
lection. New and important improve
ments are certain to be worked out,
and as the years go by it will become
constantly better and more serviceable

The End of a Poet.

He had the fever right hard. he did,
He hankered to be a bard, he did,
But got decidedly Jared, he did,
In hunting rhyme for month
He swore he would swim or sink. he did,
So got his paper and ink he did,
And then he began to think, he did,
To hunt up a rhyme for month.
He baked at calling it June, he did,
Declared it was out of tune, he did,
Said nothing would fit his rune. he did,
Excepting a rhyme for month
He knew he could make his name, he did,
He felt he was meant for fame, he did,
Declared it a beastly shame, he did,
The scarcenesS of rhymes for month.
He melted a heart of stone, he did,
Gave up the job with groan, he did,
Left Shakespeare to twinkle alone, he did,
For lack of a rhyme for month

First Restore Our Merchant Marine.

MIR. Arthur Hooker, the Secretary
of the Board of Control of the National
Irrigation Congress proposes to pres
ent at the next meeting of that august
BODY a decidedly extensive scheme of
internal improvement" This scheme
is summarized by the Kansas City
Journal, as follows:
1.-THE Federal government shall is
sue per cent. gold bonds running Tor
one hundred years to the amount OF
IS, 0OO 900, 900, and that this sum shall
be used for the following purposes:
One billion dollars for the drainage OF
overfowed and swamp lands. thus re-
claiming an area of one hundred thou
sand square miles. One billion dollars
for the reclamation by irrigation of
fOrty million acres of arid and semi
arid lands now waste. One billion dol
lars to construct and improve deep wa
ter ways and to develop thousands
of miles of territory now without ade-
uuate transportation facilities. one
billion dollars for good roads and ma
tioral highways, for the lack of which
the loss to the farm areas of the United
states is estimated by Mr.. Hooker at
$500 OOO, 900 annually. One billion dol
lars for forest protection and cOnserva-
ton of forest resources. thus assuring
timber and lumber supplies for CEN
turtles to come"
Here is certainly a picture of govern
ment expenditure painted in roseate
hues. It is dazzling, scintillating, be-
wildering. 1t reads like dream of
the Millennium, and anticipates the pa
tient evolution of the centuries with
one mighty leap. 1t is sad to turn
away from such fascinating picture,
but we must. In fact we are opposed
to the expenditure of one red cent upon
any of these projects of Mr.. Hooker's
until the United States again has
merchant marine worthy of a great
nation, and the prestige of the Stars
and Stripes is once more re-estab-
lished upon the seas. Until this Is ac-
complished these mighty projects out
lined by Mr. Hooker will have hard
road to travel among the representa-
tives Of the Maritime States. The
chances are they will be obliged to
"go away back and sit down." until
the men who stand sponsor for them
show some disposition to deal fairly
with the country's shipping interests.
The Journal has no disposition to
decry any one of these great projects,
although it is not yet prepared to en-
dorse the glittering and iridescent
method by which it is proposed to
carry them into effect. All of these
suggested public works are in the line
Of progress, and will add very ma
terially to the material wealth of the
nation. But not one of them is so i'm
portant or has so just claim upon
the government today as do the ma
TONS shipping interests. When these
have been fully and fairly attended
to, and we are once more transporting
the products of American farms and
American factories in American bot
toms, then, and not till then, will II
be time to consider the projects sug-
gested by Mr.. Hooker.
