Juvenile Politeness.

: In Sundays Star was printed an ac-
count of the entrance of two Persian
princes, now in residence in this city, into
one OF the public schools of Washington
for the purpose OF learning English and
otherwise acquiring modern western
education 1t is to be hoped that while
they themselves learn all that they de-
. sire and expect of moral and intellectual
benefit to them, they may at the same
time teach the American children with
whom they come I'm contact something of
the pol;teness which was noted in The
Stars description. They bow to their
teacher on entering the room and other
wise display admirable manners in their
bearing toward one another and their
schoolmates. 1t Is to be feared that they
will be conspicuous, in whatever school
they may enter. for this display of po-
likeness. The average American boy Is
not a model OF good manners. 1t is ex-
ceptional when youngster takes off his
can to an elder person. Boys who are
Old enough to realize the difference in
station between themselves and adults
COMFORT themselves ordinarily without
the slightest show of respect. They enter

with a small wheeled plane Prof. Lang
ley had been experimenting down the
Potomac with a machine that was popu-
larly styled the "'Buzzard," which came
to grief on its second fight owing to the
| inadequacy of the launching apparatus.
That machine is now in the Smithsonian
Institution. and it is believed by practical
aviators that it would fly today and that
| 1t would have flown during the original
experiments had a proper starting device
been employed. In the interest Of his
tory this machine should be given a test
in capable hands. If Prof Langley, whose
researches In aviation are new-recognized
as of the greatest value to those who
have since succeeded in solving the prob
lem of flight by a heavier-than-air ma
chine. did in truth produce a device capa-
BILE OF sustained fight that fact should be
demonstrated.
All of the airplane inventors acknowl-
edge their debt of obligation not only to
Langley, who did not live to see the first
practicable flights which were conducted
by the Wright brothers, but to Otto
Lilienthal, who lost his life in an effort
to acquire the secret OF successful Gid
ing. Lilienthal must be rated as the
pioneer man-bird, for, though he con-
fined himself to short soaring flights from
elevations. he demonstrated certain prin-
ciples of air sustention which are vitality
important in the management of the air
plane Of today.

The Rochester Result.

In appraising the Rochester result 1t is
necessary to consider the democratic en-
barrassment. 1t was very great
To begin with, Tammany was master of
the situation and Tammany is not a
name to conjure with outside Of New
York city. An effort was necessary. there
fore, TO keep the tiger in the background
Tt was made, but it failed. In vain did
Mr.. Murphy declare that he had no can
didate, and wanted upstate to pick the
man. Neither upstate nor downstate be-
1ieved him. Both suspected him of fine
work." and both besieged him in his
headquarters for hint of his purpose.
Neither got the slightest satisfaction.
Mr.. Murphy listened to everybody, and
said nothing. But the size of the crowd
around him testified to his supreme I'M
portance in the business, and was as
surance that in the end the convention
would do his bidding 1t did Mr.. Dix
is his man, as much so as if he had been
groomed by him from the start.
A second difficulty related to Wall street
and the trusts. They were in force at
the meeting. and it was thought advisable
to try to hide them. But this could not
be done. They were as prominent as
Tammany. and in league with the organi-
zation. They contributed to Mr.. Muir
phys power, and are we'll satisfied with
the nomination.
Mr. Dix is a man OF high standing, and
has succeeded in the business world. He
is not politician in the ordinary sense,
but is abreast of the times, and will not
be an amateur in the campaign. He
knows the state pretty well, and is ia
miliar with present conditions from a
swing around the circle he has just made
as chairman of the democratic state COM
mittee.
Both parties now have spoken. Before
either had met the republican situation
was dark, the democratic situation bright.
A democratic walkover was freely pre-
dicted. There will be a retaking of stock.
Nobody today will assert that the
democracy is nearly so strong as it was
a week ago. And this fact will have an
effect on all disgruntled republicans, and
undoubtedly line up many of them in sup
port of the Saratoga ticket.
Neither the Saratoga nor the Rochester
platform is especially interesting. Both
generalize on the leading state issue
primaries-and simply pledge action which
shall give the people more power in the
selection of candidates. But details are
for the future. At this time details might
be embarrassing.

The Deadly Cup Race.

Three deaths and three probably fatal
injuries resulted from the Vanderbilt cup
automobile races on Long Island this
morning. One of those killed was spec
tator on his way to the course; the others
were mechanicians of contestants The
casualties of this so-called sporting event
Of pleasure.
The law still permits these outrageous
performances on the highroads of this
country, but 1t may be expected that after
today's shocking demonstration of the
danger OF frantic speeding over country
roads a determined demand will arise
for the interpretation of authority to pre-
vent repetitions. Automobile races on
prepared tracks are hazardous at best, and
many deaths have occurred in conse-
quence of the tremendous speed at which
contestants dash around the laps. But
racing in such circumstances is safe COM
pared with the work of the cars in the
annual cup race. where speeds of hum
dred miles an hour are not uncommon,
where with the most careful preparations
the roads are rough and where sharp
turns occur frequently, designed to test
the nerve and the ability of the contest
ants.
Never before has the Vanderbilt cup
race cost so heavily in human life and
limb. The only way to save the public
from this peril is to prohibit road racing
altogether and to insist that the automo-
bile manufacturers, who are chiefly con-
cerned in the maintenance of these COM
petitions, shall provide a proper place for
them where the only lives exposed will be
those OF the men who deliberately choose
this career of danger.

It Does Loeb Honor.
From the Boston Post.

It is said that the ultra fastidiOus
Union League Club Of New York is hold
ing up the nomination of Collector Loeb
for membership on account of irritation
at his custom house doings felt by mem
bers Of the club who are contributors to
republican campaign funds. If true. this
action constitutes the highest honor that
has yet come to the energetic and con-
scientious collector of customs at MAMMA t.
tan. It proves that he is a public servant
with brains enough to catch smugglers
and courage enough to expose even those
Of high degree. 1t is impossible for
Loeb's dragnet not to gather in contrib
utors to republican campaign funds and
their relatives now and then. If the
Union League Club wants to disgrace it
self by keeping him out on this account,
that is its own affair. The collector him
self will be advanced several points in
public estimation by his exclusion.

display altogether Z degree Of boorishness
| that augurs III for their future conduct in
society.
For this lack of good manners the par
! ents of today are unquestionably respon-
sible. Children in this part of the world
are not studied and disciplined with care.
Home management as a rule consists in
either the suppression of children by Sc
we're methods which lead to later rebel
lion. or by the go-easy plan Of giving
them their own way to avoid friction.
The children are too often considered as
membranes and the parental part con-
sists largely in forcing them into sub
mission or sweeping them out Of sight
and out of mind by giving them unre-
strained liberty. Between unwise severity
apd equally unwise laxity there Is mid
die ground, where with but the rarest
exceptions all children can be taught the
lessons of obedience and politeness and
consideration which are SO essential to
their proper development.
Unfortunately the teachers in the public
schools are too busy in the mere con-
duct of their classes to give much atten-
ton to the personal bearing Of their pu-
pills. If each class were cut in half some
tiIiiS LulSut DC accomplished tHlS III
rection. But when a teacher has forty or
fifty children under her direction and is
Furthermore burdened with a great
amount of paper work. there is little
time or opportunity for moral instruc-
ton. Yet in most cases parents depend
upon the teachers in the schools to train
the children in the finer matters Of per-
sonal bearing. forgetting that the very
conditions Of school discipline are CAL
culated to lead to the formation of bad
habits during the hours when restraint is
RENTED. 1t is at home that this work
must be done. and one Of the most i'm
portant of our modern sociological prob
lens today lies in the training of parents
to the point where they will realize that
their responsibility to the children they
have brought into being is not measured
by the crude essentials Of housing, cloth
Ing, feeding and schooling.

Collecting Tariff Statistics.

The latest proposition as to further
tariff revision is that the powers Of the
| so-called tariff board be extended. At
present the board can only request of
American manufacturers the figures re-
lating to the costs Of their productions.
and reluctance is exhibited. 1t is urged
now that manufacturers be required to
comply with the boards requests, on
penalty of punishment in case Of refusal
This step should not be taken until very
careful consideration is given the whole
broad subject. It is to be remembered
that the boards mission is not confined
to the gathering Of American statistics.
but foreign as we'll. What are the costs
of productions abroad? How do they
compare with our own figures?
Now 1t is very clear that, whatever our
power may be over American producers,
we cannot force foreigners to show their
books. 1t will remain with them to COM
ply or not at their pleasure with our re-
quests.
Will they do so? Nothing is more I'M
likely. They are certain to hold out their
more important f1gures-their secrets so
to say. They do not want them known
to the public, and particularly to the
American public. We are their COM
petitors in the worlds markets, and it is
to their business advantage to keep us
guessing as to what they are doing, and
how, and at what cost
Suppose, then. we force our manu-
facturers to disclose their secrets. Who
would benefit? Not Congress in further
tariff revision. because it would have but
one side Of the question Of cost produc-
ton before it. The beneficiaries would
be our foreign rivals. who would study
our figures with the greatest care. They
would be enlightened as to many matters
about which they are DESTROYS Of informa-
ton.
II 1t is said that statistics so gathered
would be confidential, known only to the
gatherers, the President and Congress,
the reply is that matter so important
could not be kept secret. Tabulate such
information, and put the result in type,
and copies would find their way into in
terested outside hands in spite of ALL
They would be worth a very pretty
penny, indeed. Foreign producers with
agents in America would pay hand
somely for what their employers could
put to such valuable account.
Congress should have. the fullest and
most complete facts about homo and
foreign productions covered by tariff
duties, but the means of obtaining them
is a problem meriting the utmost eau
ton in the solving.

the democrats at Rochester have nominal
ed for governor Mr.. John A. Dix, a man

every reason to believe, will administer
the public business of the state of New
is and should be administered, with
method, with order. with system, with a
sense of accountability for himself and
his subordinates, and with Willingness
and the courage to be held responsible fol
his administration of the trust. AS a
successful business man, as man
charged not only with the care of his
own interests but with the proper safe
guarding and advancement of the inter
ests of others, Mr.. Dix is in the best sense
representative of the intelligent, active,
sober minded, conservative and successful
citizenship of the Empire state.

I saw q picture of man
With lofty brow and sanity eyes
That seemed this world of ours to scan
In quest Of some fair Paradise
Where all would heed the wisdom deep
His lips, just parted, seemed to frame,
Yet vigilance that knew not sleep
Into his rapt expression came.
A hero in whate'er may come,
Though passing desperate be the game
With courage At for martyrdom
And caution to avoid that same.
In fascination still I gaze,
For it depicts mans perfect state
Whose vast attachments must amaze

Doubtless this disregard for party prom
