THE 1910 AIR MEET.

Probably by next summer the air.
planes will have been sufficiently de-
veloped to enable their operators to
maneuver over wide areas without the
need ef entirely smooth surfaces be-
tween the starting and stopping points.
This fact should be taken into con-
sideration in the choice of a meeting
place for the 1910 international con-
tests AS far as the physical lay of
the land is concerned. virtually any
city is suitable in such circumstances
There should, however, be a cofnbina
ton of land and water surfaces to
give the widest possible range of con-
ditions.
The United States has cities pos
sessed of all the necessary advantages
for the aviation meet. 1t has organ
lied it's forces to present them in the
most effective manner before those
with whom the decision rests. 1t has
started in motion the processes of
fund raising with an excellent pros
pect of an abundant success. Senti-
ment is in it's favor. The holding of
the 1910 meet. which may be the occa-
sion of emergence of aviation from the
experimental to the practical stage in
the country from which came the first
practicable machine will be especially
appropriate and significant
Foreign aviators, if consulted on this
point. would probably prefer to fly their
apparatus in this country than at some
other point of greater population. They
are not seekingl immense audiences.
They are earnestly endeavOring to
perfect their machines and to render
them of use in the worlds &c .nomy.
These international meets are intend
ed to stimulate invention and expert
mentatiOn rather than to give eXhi-
billions for the pleasure of tue crowd
and it will greatly add to the dignity of
the occasion to select as the scene tho
most significant city in the westeTG
world

A PEARY' GOLD BRICK!"

When Commander Peary sent his
telegram charging DR. Cook with
handing the public a gold brick y
the American people did not for a
moment doubt that he had grounds
for at least sincere belief that his
rival was a faker 1t was universally
supposed that the proof which Peary
had would be submitted at the earli-
est possible moment after his return
to civilization. The public was hardly
prepared To believe that this proof
would convict DR.. Cook Of the shame
less mendacity of deceiving the world
with false claims, but the opinion
was decided that Peary would pat up
pretty strong case
Peary has returned, and nearly two
weeks afterwards the same old story
of later is being handed out. Nu-
merous conferences have been held
between Peary and his sponsors, and
even the invitations to receptions
have been declined until the contro-
Versy is settled" Peary steadfastly
refuses t. accept any ovations." but
the suggestion is irresistible that he
ought to accept them While the public
is in the ovation mood. Delays are
proverbially dangerous and doubly so
when, as in Peary's case. every sue
ceeding move makes him appear in
worse light. The declaration of
Whitney that Peary absolutely re-
fused to permit any of Cooks be-
ment confirmed by Peary himself
shows a gross violation of every die
tate of professional ethics
The only reasonable explanation of
Peary's failure to submit his proofs
financial and other rewards of sue
cess is that. in the opinion of level
nedueu men not Dlllfueu Dy jealousy,
the proofs are not sufficiently strong
to hold weight with the public. Some
of the arguments thus far made are
puerile. as for instance the state of
DR. Cooks snow shoes. as though an
explorer would make a trip to the
Pole and back in the same shoes.
! The suspicion is certainly. forming in
the public mind that Peary himself
! has handed the public something in
the nature of a gold brick in ask
| ing the people to take his unsup-
| ported word for it that Cook did not
/ beat him TO the top of the world.

WHY NOT THE IRISH WAY?

President Taft's Spokane speech
brings sharply before the American
public the problem presented by irri-
CATION and reclamation.
a vast sum is needed Down to De
cember 81. 1898. $4,000 900 had been
spent on 2.292.346 acres. These are
expected to cost completed more than
twice this, $50, 43l, 800.
The money is giving out The states

farmer cannot borrow on Waterless
land the sum needed to make his land
worth mortgaging. Irrigation compa-

and pay the cost ten-fold
This was the Irish land problem. I he

The difference between the sum at

in a long term extinguisned the debt

this famous old organization Miss Ber-
tram was prominent with the McCaull

of merit. Her appearance in Washing
ton this week will be bit reminiscent.
MIR. rockingham Is perhaps one of the
oldest and best known comedians on the
operate stage, and throughout his long
and honorable career funmaker has
been considered the grand old man OF
comic opera" The veteran comedian is
well up in the seventies, yet enjoys the
best of health. His ability to evoke roars
of laughter is as pronounced now as
when, twenty-five years ago, he became
famous with the old Boston Ideals.
Miss d'Orsel has been Identified with
the character Of Anabel in robin Hood
for many years. Her voice is considered
one of the most remarkable in light
opera. She amazed local concert-goers
here two years ago by reaching E fiat
above high c with perfect ease and held
the note amid enthusiastic applause. Miss
dOrseN appeared here in vaudeville last
season in the costume of Scotch ballad
singer, and her old dialect songs were
most enjoyable.
