BALLOON EXPRESS.

South ST. Louis Aero Club Soon to
Start a Line.
You can go up into the clouds N a
special car and express fiier or an az
commodation when the South st. Louis
Aero clubs equipment of balloons is
complete, says St Louis dispatch.
The fat rate for sky tourists will be
$50.
M. A. Hermann. president of the
club. said recently that the two new
balloons, the South ST. Louis, with a
capacity of 7S,e00 cubic feet, and the
South st. Louis, Jr. 1900 feet, will
be finished within few days In adj
dition to these the $4,000 foot Media
will still be in commission.
The tariffs will be SO arranged that
each member of Il party of five will
pay $50 to ride in the largest balloon.
Each member of party of two will
pay the same price for an ascension
in the Melba. The South st. Louis.
Jr., will carry one passenger at the
same rate. This Is the result of the
recent cut rate war between the South
st. Louis club and the Aero Club of
st. Louis. The prices originally were
$40 passenger.

pEARY AT THE POLE.

Peary has reached the North Pole,
and, according to The telegram announc-
ing this feat, he nailed the Stars and
Stripes to the pole. This is not disput-
ed, but if accepted with the doubt IN
volving the criticism of some OF Dr.
Cooks critics this query would be per
tinent: How could Peary have nailed
the Stars and Stripes to the pole, when
it is conceded that there is no pole, only
a barren space of ice visible and only
ice everywhere?
To Peary praise Unreasonable is due
and as has been well said by DR.. Cook
there is glory enough for two, therefore
the most amicable understanding should
prevail between the two Americans and
their friends over an achievement which
has won for each the admiration of the
world.
There should be no pickering over the
fact that DIR. Cook was the first at the
pole, and it should be sufficient to know
that whatever be the glory has beer
achieved BY wo Americans, citizens OF
the United States.

COOP ROADS COMMISSION.

II is proposed to have created by the
next Legislature a Good Roads Com
mission which is to be composed OF
three members who are to be appointed
BY the Governor, who is to be ex-officio
member of this commission. Of what
good can such commission be except
as an addition to the links in the politi-
cal chain which is gradually being en-
eircled around the people and to
strengthen the political dynasty which
would perpetuate itself in Louisiana.
Seriously, the State is already over
laden with commission, created when
ever some politicians or some of their
allies are to be pacifed with some Office.
Is It not about time to discourage ev-
cry attempt at creating commissions ur1-
necessary and which absorb the sub
stance Of the taxpayers.
The people should not be deluded by
the glittering promises of good roads
throughout the State, which are to CEN
ter il the capital of every parish and
radiate therefrom to the capital of the
State at Baton Rouge.
Practically this is a wild scheme which
could not be carried into effect during
the days Of the present generation.
In time good roads will be constructed
throughout all the parishes of the State,
but the expenditures for such enter
price will aggregate into the millions,
which must be met BY degrees and in a
practically conservative sense.
There is no need for a State Good
Roads Commission, except to provide
some politician and time-server in need
Of some Office with a good salary or
some perquisites equsling a good salary.
