The writer thinks that in about four

there is no good reason why this

Airships could be continually en-
ployed in transporting large quantities
of dutiable goods from one country to
another. Naturally, therefore, this pos
sibility is a matter of serious interest
to Europe. Frontier guards would be
useless. Airships could pass in the
night, oftentimes, and not be noticed;
and even if there were a law against
their passage, what power could com
pei the machines, if sighted in the day
time, to descend and pay tribute to the
authorities
At first, of course, only the lighter
articles subject to customs duties
would be carried to and fro; but as
the machines become more powerful
their carrying weight must increase.
Indeed, it cannot be gainsaid that air

extent that by-and-by the ocean liners

The subject Is of great Importance,

aerial smuggling begins. Tariff trou-

FAIRBANKS GETS
SENATOR'S SUPPORT
Majority of Them Want Hns
Appointed AS British
Ambassador.

Charles Warren Fairbanks, former
Vice President, will have warm support
for the honor OF being ambassador OF
the United States at the Court OF St
James from his old associates in the
Senate
If Mr.. Fairbanks does not get the
office. 1t viii not be for lack OF cordial
backing from Senators.
In the first place. Mr.. Fairbanks had
the good fortune TO serve In the Senate
and tc preside over II. II is one or the
traditions OF the Senate that an eX-
member OF the body is entitled to its
support for anything he wants In few
organizations is there more Of a spirit
OF freemasonry and fraternity than IN
the Senate, despite the bitterness that
sometimes characterizes the clashes in
committee and on the floor.
Few men have had the good fortune
20 preside over the Senate with better
with genuine regret that the Senator's
saw him Did them his farewell Out
side Of such Senators as have candi-
dates of their own. from their Own
States, for ambassadOrships, most OF
the members OF the Senate would Ike
TO see the Indiana man so honOred-
II is certain Mr.. Taft could not put
himself on good terms with the Senate
quite as effectively in any other way as
he could by appointing Mr. Fairbanks
10 the post which DR.. Eliot, BY reason
Of his age, has refused. This SrgumefJ
has undoubtedly been made 70 Mr.. TafJ,
or will be, by some OF Mr.. Fairbanks
friends
Mr.. Fairbanks supporters are saying
that IL he should be sent 70 the Court OF
ST James, there would be no doubt that
tie American ambassador would keep
10 to the highest standard in a social
way. while the business or the embassy
would be properly looked after.
