WAY AHEAD OF AUTOMOBILE
Progress Of Aviation Is One OF Won
ders Of Modern Human
Daring.

The development of the aeroplane
into a mechanism Of practical utility
In the arts of peace and war is even
more rapid than was that Of the auto
mobile in its early days.
1t seems only yesterday that the
Herald was chronicling the first strug-
Cling flights of a few yards made by
M. Santos Dumont and today we re-
cord the Journey Of nearly five hun
dred miles made by M. Alfred LIE
Blanc within q period of less than IL
hours.
It is only q few weeks ago that the
first flight across the British channel
electrified the world. This was quick
ly followed by fight across and re-
turn, and now we have an American
aviator making the cross channel trip.
carrying as a passenger his burly
mechanician.
While the accident to Moissant's
machine mars the startling record he
promised to make between Paris and
London. his achievement Is none the
less wonderful in its promise of the
possibilities Of aviation In the immedi-
ate future.
Development Of the automobile from
toy into its present development was
stimulated by bringing the inventors
of the world into international COM
petition by the offers Of prizes and
honors. In like manner the aeroplane
has been improved. and is being per-
fected through the international emu
lation of inventors and aviators. The
marvel Of yesterday in flying has be-
come the commonplace Of today, and
nearly every issue Of the Herald
chronicles some record-brealting fest
Of aviation.
The defiance Of Mr.. Moissant Of the
strong winds blowing on the English
channel and the fact that the contest
ants in this long fight were ignorant
of the route and steered their way by
compass. brings aviation more nearly
into line than ever before with actual
navigation. Every day exhibits more
advance In the science and the art Of
sailing the air, and he would be q
bold man who would dare to fx q
limit to its possibilities in the immedi.
ate future.--New York Herald.

For our part, we arc ready TO fall
in with the rosy predictions Of these
hopeful Congressman and make bold to
believe that the national Democratic
party has the best chance this year it
has had since 1892. OF course. condi-
lions may change in tile next few
months, but the present policy of Con-
gress gives little ground for such a
thought. As matter of fact, we be-
lievc that hearty Democratic accord
upon the single question of tariff re-
form could win the day. If the party
leaders can patch their differences
about free raw materials and the pro-
lection of local industries, and can
continue to preach the doctrine of all
honest tariff in every district, with
q determination to practice it when
preached, they should carry the No
vember elections. ~ tariff for rev.
enuc remains the ono thing, after the
maintenance of the States, for which
the Democratic party, officially at least
has steadfastly stood. If that doctrine
is pushed in this time of Republican
discord and popular discomfort, it
should certainly triumph.
But in urging the tariff as the great
issue IN the congressional elections of
this year the Democrats will find 1t not
only expedient but necessary to ADAM
don the catct-penny measures which
have been put forward in recent years.
without exception the Bryan specifics
have failed The sooner they are laid
aside and the sooner sound Democratic
doctrine on the tariff is pushed to the
front, and kept there, the better for
tho party.
Has the Democratic party the vitality
to unite on this great issue? We trust
so. we trust that the voice of wise
men will prevail to put down foolish
opportunism and rally the party around
something worth hghting for.
