 The hippopotamus is sort of float, ing island which inhabits the African rivers.

Station. House Deaths From Drink

Station House Deaths From Drink.
AS long as Intoxicated men are placed
under arrest and taken to police sta
tions instead of being regarded as pa
tients and removed to hospitals there will
be occasional deaths in the cells, such
as that which occurred Saturday night
Despite all the regulations for the treat
ment of alcoholic cases by the police
when they are taken In hand these unfor-
Inmates will from ti9le to time succumb
The station house is no place for them.
They should be given immediate medical
attention by trained physicians. who can
keep them under constant observation
and administer restoratives In case of
need. Unless each police station Is
equipped with physician the city should
either arrange for the care OF the victims
OF alcoholism at one Of the hospitals or
provide an alcoholic establishment of its
own. without a specific appropriation no
such institution can be created. and there
are no funds to pay for the treatment Of
such cases at the privately managed hos
pitfalls. The Districts dilemma In this re-
gard should be set before Congress In the

The Public and the Planes.

The conquest of the air by the .planists
has stirred the public Imagination to its
depths. There is probably keener de-
sire on the part Of the average individual
today TO see an airplane In operation
than has ever before been felt in the
case of novelty. The immense crowds
that went daily from this city to Fort
Myer last summer on the chance of see
ing Orville Wright fly around the pa
rade ground were an effective evidence
OF this overwhelming curiosity. When
Wilbur Wright was scheduled to give
exhibitions In New York during the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration enormous crowds
gathered on the river bank In the
hopes OF catching a glimpse of the man
bird At Rheims. during the interna-
tional aero meet a few weeks ago. the
concourse OF people was tremendous.
Even the dirigibIe balloon has it's ir-
resistible attraction for the crowd. When

forts he was cheered by the largest num-

crowd.
Yesterdays rioting in France instanced
the intense desire Of the people to see
the navigation Of the air accomplished.
A competition was in progress short

twelve and a half miles from Paris. Ow-
ing to some failure OF the management
train service became demoralized and
the crowds broke beyond control and
did great damage to the rolling stock
of the line. 1t is estimated that at least
100, 600 people burst through the barriers
at the aviation field and took possession
of the points of vantage, including the
grandstand. without paying penny.
Fully $4,000 more people who left Paris
for Juvisy were unable to get to the
grounds.
This curiosity is comprehensive. For
generations men have been trying to
solve the problem of human flight and
have undertaken numerous experiments
at the cost Of life which have been re-
garded by skeptics as futile. The &C
complishment of the object Of these ex-
periments and endeavors has come sud-
denly, so to speak. Within two years the
heavier-than-air machine has been
brought to the point of practical use.
Public imagination has been excited. VI
sions of air navigation for everyday
purposes are already entertained. A liter
AZURE has developed on the subject. Ro-
nance writer's are now turning out air.
plane novels with the confidence born of
everyday proof that the "airship" has
at last arrived. It is natural, therefore,
that in these early days of demonstra-
ton the public should be aroused to
an overwhelming desire to witness
flights.

Instinct.

There are numerous fish in the sea,
And the big fellows swallow the small
And the next in size
Seek a weaker prize,
And the minnow has no show at all.
There are numerous fowls in the air
And they chatter and croak and sing
And the biggest swoop
On the barnyard coop.
Or the bird with a wounded wing.
There are numerous beasts in the field
They below or bleat or bray;
And the stronger strives
For the weaklings' lives.
And scorns to evade the fray.
There are numerous men In the street
And we try to be good and kind;
But we'll evolute
Ger a good, long route.
Ere we leave all the rest behind.

Jerome and the Campaign.

AS matters stand, the position OF Dis
trict Attorney Jerome in the New York
campaign iS more questionable >han
that Of Judge Gaynor. The latter, from
motives Of personal ambition. has taken
sides. He is in bad company, but out in
the open. After denouncing Tammany
and all its works; after criticising rep
resentative men and public officials for
dining with and doing honor to Rich
ard Croker, Judge Gaynor gives his
hand to Charles F. Murphy-a Croker OF
less degree-and becomes Tammany' :
man for mayor. He invites attack. and
warns his opponents to look out. If
possible. he is going to give tho other
side as good as it sends Here, at least.
is frankness.
Today Mr.. Jerome is neither fish. flesh,
nor fowl. Thinking himself still live
factor in the equation. he offered for
reelection and established headQuar-
tiers. The number Of names necessary to
bring him out by petition was easily
obtained. and some of his admirers sent
in money contributions to help along
his canvass. But, after sleeping on the
matter a few nights, Mr.. Jerome
changed his mind and retired from the
contest.
The step was probably well taken.
Prospects were not bright. Other men
were in the limelight, and there was
not illumination enough for one more.
But it is announced that Mr.. Jerome,
in retiring. loses all interest in the
campaign. and will help neither side.
Go it husband, go it bear. Mr.. Jerome,
who enjoys a lively scrap, expects to
see one, and is comfortably perched on
the fence for observation purposes.
Why does not Mr.. jerome throw what
ever influence he still exercises against
Tammany? He has said as severe things
as ever Judge Gaynor did about the or
ganizatien. He has fought it even more
vigorously. He has triumphed over it,
and interpreted his triumph as an ex-
preston of the wish of the people that
the district attorneyship be kept out of
the clutches Of men who would use the
office for private rather than for pub
lie purposes.
Now, either the Tammany candidate or
the republican candidate will succeed
Mr.. Jerome. Both candidates are men
Of good standing. but Mr.. Battle. as
Tammany's man, represents the influence
that Mr.. Jerome abhors. II he reaches
Office through the Tammany power he
will not have as free a hand as Mr.!
Jerome thinks a district attorney should
have for prosecuting the criminal classes.
To be logical and useful. therefore
logic, however. has little to. do with poll
tics-Mr. Jerome should exert himself
against Tammany. If he can persuade
but thousand Of the many thousands
Of men he once persuaded. he should poll
every one of them for Judge Whitman.
To sulk simply because there was no
thoroughfare for himself Is not the
proper caper for a man Of Mr.. Jerome's
position and pretensions.

An International Relief Organization

This is the era of internationalism.
Steadily a spirit of understanding is
eliminating the boundary lines and evok-
ing a new sense of brotherhood. When
ever disaster overtakes a land this spirit
Is shown in liberal contributions for the
relief of the sufferers. The peoples Of
all chimes vie with one another in an
effort to reduce suffering and to facilitate
the recovery of stricken regions from
their misfortunes.
AT a late meeting of the permanent
peace bureau. at Brussels. resolution
was adopted suggesting that the various
governments of the world join in the
creation of an international fund for the
relief of sufferers in the event of the
occurrence of great disasters in any part
of the world. The bad management of
the funds subscribed for the relief Of
victims Of the Italian earthquake, it is
reported. prompted the suggestion.
Already there is in existence an or
ganization which serves somewhat the
same purpose as that proposed at Brus-
sells. The American National Red Cross
is virtually an International body.
1t is an institution knowing no bounda-
rles. 1t responds to every call.
from Whatever quarter. 1t collects funds
from public confident that the moneys
given will be put to the best uses. With
Its foreign connections it reaches eyery
part of the world.
There may be need of an official in
ternational organization. to remedy de-
fects in the application of relief funds.
Whatever may be their source. Often
the local organization of government is
demoralized by the very disaster which
mas evoked the outpouring of money.
unfortunately. cupidity manifests itself
even In the face Of great suffering. and
there are always those eager for chances
to take their pickings from every QUICKLY
assembled fund. 1t may be that as a
result of the resolution adopted at Brus-
sells the civilized countries will aeree
upon method Of administration which
through the elimination of waste and
the prevention OF graft. will guarantee to
the givers of charity money that every
dollar contributed will be put 70 proper
uses and made to do its part in the sue
coring Of stricken humanity.

Enjoyment Of the Air.

crOm tne 6dltlmOfo American.
Do those who soar in airships these fall
days enjoy the atmosphere more than
those who walk the land and follow the
hedgerows? Will aerial tours in the soft
autumnal season, when the airship comes
into general use. magnify the delights OF
October weather? It is to be doubted
rather It is to be denied. Let aerialists
paint as they will the light and shade ef-
fects upon the clouds Of the sun as they
look from their baskets upon the vaporous
shapes. But cannot the earth wanderer
gaze upward and get at least a substan-
tial portion Of the beauties Of cloud weav-
ings in threads Of amber, Of purple and
gold? Is this all that the upper atmos-
phere means to those who tread the un-
tracked pathways OF the wind? What else
remains. when the earth has passed out
OF the field of vision? Dearth, monotony.

San Francfsco's Celebration.

This is a year when fresh emphasis has
been laid upon many historic events. and

eral forward movement the world should

Favorite Sons and 1912.

A row between Thomas Taggart and
Gov. Marshall? Do not believe 1t. Has
not Mr.. Taggart just said that Mr..
Bryan will cut no figure IN the next
democratic national convention. but that
Gov. Marshall will be the choice of that
body for President? 1t is plain open
and shut to Mr.. Taggart.
The prediction is not important ex-
cept as indicating the line of the new
anti-Bryan endeavor The favorite
son business is to be employed this
time in states which were not worked
in the preliminaries leading up to the
Denver convention last year.
At that time neither Gov. Marshall
nor Gov Harmon had arrived" Gov.
johnson was in office. and willing to
lead his party, but no loud re-
Spouse followed the mention of his name.
The Parker fiasco had of course removed
New York from the calculation. The
only hope therefore, of dividing and con-
quering the Bryan forces was by an ap-
peal to the south, where the democracy
lives and has its being.
The appeal was made, but in so alb
surd and amateurish a fashion it caused
only amusement. Mr.. Bryan's friends
followed it with sort of approval
and encouragement. When they read
the stilted puffs OF Senator Culber
son, Senator Daniel. Judge Gray,
Gov. Beckham and others they said in
their hearts, THE day is ours. We shall
sweep things. Men of that grade are
not to be caught with rose-colored CUFF;
and that seems to be the opposition's
only material. We are the people,"
The reasoning was sound. The gaudily
eulogized read the eulogies, scrap-booked
the stuff to convince their descendants
that there was a time when humor In
politics was broad in this broad land,
and went TRANQUILITY about their daily af-
fairs. Not a man Of them was induced
to play the game, and the suggestion
that they sue for damages for praise ap-
pearing in quarters where praise was a
reflection on both character and intelli-
gence was put aside through sheer good
nature. Politicians and judges SO strong
In the respect of the public felt that they
could stand the assault without open
complaint.

three times defeated. but still full of GIN
