A Relic in Danger,

An old shed near the Post Office De-

exceptional value and interest saved from

involved in honoring even the most loved
member OF the court. The Supreme Court
of the United States is a coordinate
branch of the government. It's continuous
existence is essential to the well-being,
the very security of the nation. 1t is not
impossible that the participation Of the
entire membership Of the court in the
funeral services of Justice Brewer in
Kansas might have caused the extinction
of the court. A misplaced switch,
broken rail, any one of the numerous
causes of disaster to which our railways
are subject, with or without the murder
Gus enterprise of public enemies. might
have precipitated a disaster the conse-
uuences of which can be only feebly
imagined 1t is appalling to contemplate
such a catastrophe as the extinction of
the United States Supreme Court at any
time. and particularly at time when
such vitality important issues are at stake
as at present Doubtless when those
who have felt that the court was negl-

dullah that he is not a free agent for the
revolt.
The people on the northeast coast OF
Africa differ materially from> the resi-
dents of the interior. They are closely
allied ethnologically to the Arabians In
deed. they are not far different in their
general characteristics from the Moors,
Tunisians and Algerians of northwestern
Africa. Mohammedanism with them
reaches to an unusual point of fanati-
cism. The dervishes of the middle Nile
country present the same traits of ex-
treme devotion to their religious beliefs.
In the war which Kitchener brought to
close at Khartum the British forces found
the dervishes no mean antagonists. At
the battle of Omdurman these fanatics
charged with such determination that
nothing could check them. They were
moved down by hundreds by the ma
chine guns and the rifle fire of the Brit
ish. and still they kept coming until they
were absolutely eliminated.
A campaign against the Mad Mullah'
is no trif1ing undertaking in view of this
of the African Moslems to
nght literally to the last ditch In the
annals of the British war office are some
splendid tales of heroism brought in from
Africa in the course of these dervish out
breaks. If it should become necessary
for England to take the field to restore
order in Somaliland an opportunity will
be afforded. practically for the first time
since tie Boer war. to demonstrate the
of the army reforms in
as a result of that campaign.

The Planked Shad.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Spring is with us at last, at last
fair young spring with the talcum on
her nose and the daisies in her hair.
Her motif sounds bravely in the or
chestra-a long trill for flute, with the
fiddles breaking in near the end-and
she cavorts gayly upon the stage, laugh
ing the eternal laugh Of homage. There
is a balmy smack to the atmosphere;
the price of eggs has tumbled; police
coats; book beer signs enchant the plain
people; hoboes and poets take to the
road; the planked shad enjoys is
vernal renaissance. OF all the superb
victuals which. by their great variety
and unique collocation. make Maryland
the Eden and Arcadia of every man
who loves good eating. the planked shad
is probably the most powerful and
poignant in it's appeal to the senses.
The wild duck, though 1t sets the palate
to vibrating like an Aeolian harp, has
unlovely bird of a dull color and
ungraceful outline. So, too, the dia-
mond- back terrapin. 1t has no more
beauty in death than a plate of soup.

magne. It's noble head moves one to
reverence, the epicycloid curve Of its
tail is like the curl Of great comber
unon a coral beach. And 1t radiates
a perfume as of Araby.

The Won Parseval Monoplane.

Great interest attaches to the forth
coming trials of the largest aeropane
yet constructed. the invention of Maj.
Won Parseval, an officer of the German
army. This machine is monoplane
propelled by a ur-cylinder motor Of 12O
horsepower. The weight of the engine
or the machine is not stated, and Conse
quentIy it is impossible at this time to
compare its ratio of efficiency with that
of the latest Wright machine, which re-
quires one horsepower for the convey
ance of each fifty pounds. Prof Lang
ley estimated that the condor carries
seventeen pounds with an energy output
estimated to be not more than 1-21 of a
horsepower, at which rate one horse
power would sustain 395 pounds. If the
condor's ratio could be reproduced in
the Parseval machine, with it's 120-horse-
power engine. this monoplane would be
capable of sustaining 400 pounds 1t
would be the ideal flying machine of
mans dreams. OF course, this is out of
the question until man can literally make
a bird machine, with all the economies
of weight which nature has devised and
the perfect coordination and adjustment
which the living flying machine displays
1t has been often said since the sue
cess of the Wright brothers machine
that the multiplication of the flying unit
which they worked out as practica BILE
would quickly follow as other aviators
were emboldened to pass beyond the
limits apparently set in these first ex-
periments. 1t follows that the larger
the plane surface the greater the risk of
DETECTION by sudden gusts of wind To
offset this the power must be increased
in proportion that the large aeroplane
Is capable of driving through the air at
q speed which lessons the effect of wind
siants upon the sustaining surfaces. If
Maj. Won Parseval has succeeded in pro-
ducing an efficient combination of planes
and power on large scale, capable of
propulsion in practically all weathers
short of storms. probably the next year
will witness long strides toward the
evolution of the real passenger carrying
commercial aeroplane

The Mad Mullah."

1t looks as if England would soon have
another little war on its hands. in the
subjugation of the Mad Mullah." When
everything else is quiet this perennial
trouble maker bobs up on the interna-
tional horizon. The fact is, the Mad Null

of his religion. 1t was in 1896 that he

he was finally cornered and compelled to

Great Britain. Technically the Italian
government is responsible for the main

Well. of all the ungrateful people in

state
The Rochester district is called upon to
elect member of the House in place of
the late Mr.. Perkins. Ordinarily the dis
trict is republican by some eight or ten
thousand. But conditions are confused
this year. and the democrats are hope
full. Besides, the republican candidate is
machine politician of the old school,,
against whom are charged machine
methods of receiving and disbursing cam
paign funds His nomination is deplored.
and may be resented at the polls, by
many republicans.
Naturally. Chairman Corners has inter-
ested himself in the contest. Forgetting
his personal smarts resulting from the
Tigers claws, he thinks only of the party
and it's future. 1t would rejoice his
win. He is hustling for him. with both
tongue and pen. His appeals to the
voters are fervent. He is so excited
that. in print. over his signature he is
positively grammatical.
Not to be behind at such a time and
in such a contest. Leader Murphy of
the cause in the Rochester district is
dear also to him. and that he hopes
every lover of good government and en-
envy of machine politics will do his duty
on election day
Have the democrats of that district
hailed his assistance with delight? On
the contrary, they have all but violently
spurned it. Their feelings is hurt"
They profess to fear the effect on the
Independents. They as much as say that
Mr.. Corners and Mr.. Murphy do not fit
in with a reform movement and should
have kept out.
And yet what would be the chance in
the state for the democratic ticket next

or platform, and Mr.. Corners to rouse
all the boys in the neighborhood of Lake
Erie. When the cry is raised, whether
pitched in the key of reform or not, the
followers of those two men must come
to the scratch in force. the republ-
cans will win, hands down.
Should the democratic candidate for
Congress in the Rochester district be de-
prived of the assistance of Mr.. Murphy
and Mr.. Corners this month, when the
fate of the democratic candidate for gov
ernor will hang on it next November?
AS in the case of the leading one. these
celebrities are entitled to their due.

The Supreme Court.

Some surprise has been expressed that
the members of the Supreme Court Of
the United States did not accompany
the remains of their deceased colleague
the late Justice Brewer, to the last rest
ing place In Kansas as a token of the
affection and the respect in which he was
held by his associates. Probably every
member Of that court felt it to be his
duty personally to honor in this manner
the one who had sat SO long upon the
bench to which he was a credit and q
source of strength. Even though the
paying of such a tribute involved a long
raili DAD journey, suspendng the functions
of the court for several days and exposing
it's venerable members to the chances OF
perhaps fatal illness. each of the justices
would doubtless have willingly endured the
discomfort and danger. But there was
something at stake greater in its import
ance than the sentimental consideration

The Indiana Republicans.

The meat" of the tariff deliverance at
Indianapolis yesterday is this: The re-
publicanS of Indiana are in favor OF pro-
lection and of a speedy modification of
the Payne law. Particulars as to that
modification are to be found in the
speech of Senator Beveridge which
the convention enthusiastically applauded.
Much of what the senator had said in
the debate when the Payne measure was
shaping in Congress last year he now re-
peated, and thereby showed that in the
action he then took he faithfully repre-
scented his constituents.
1t was quite impossible for this con-
vention to indorse both the Payne law
AMI the senator who had opposed the
measure in debate and voted against 1t
on the final roll call Such action would
have discredited the party in the cam
paign. 1t would have given Mr.. BeVer-
idses candidacy for third term
fatal blow. BY attempting no tricks OF
evasion or double-dealing, but speaking
clearly and to the point, the convention
put it's Endorsement of Mr.. Beveridge
above cavil or misconstruction.
Mr.. Beveridge was equally frank with
the neople of the state They know from
his speech to the convention precisely
where he stands, and that he has not
retreated an inch from his tariff posi-
ton of last year. He would DO toda!
what he then did. The Payne law In
action has not modified his opinion OF It,
Its revenue-producing quality does not
change the defects he detects in the
schedules he condemns; and i'm his opin-
lon those defects should be remedied as
speedily as possible.
How speedily this work may be done
of course depends. The Dingiey law,
which proved good revenue-producer,
was, according to President Mckinley,
ripe for revision in four years after en-
actment: and only his death prevented
revision at that time. The life of the
Payne law is necessarily problematical.
Even it's authors, and champions do not
attempt to fix the number of its days.
But as Mr.. Beveridge and his supporters
at home hold that the law is not full
fillment of the partys promise and not
good for the country, he may be ex-
pected if reelected to move Immediately
for it's earliest possible modification, &C
cording to the instructions received.
The Endorsement of President Taft was
none the less sincere because of the diff
ference between him and Senator Bev-
eridge on the tariff question. The tariff,
important it is, by no means measures
the full republican duty and responsible
ity. Other questions, highly momentous,
are pressing, and the Presidents stand
rs to them meets with the cordial APP
prevail of his party friends in the
Hoosier state. The republicans of In
diana are for him, and he is for them.
All the weight of his name will be in
the campaign for the benefit of Mr.. Bev-
eridge

A Generous Plea.

A modest scribe to a meeting went
Where the suffragettes were engaged
in speech:
They viewed him with studied discomfort
AS a creature whom reason ne'er could
reach.
They pointed him out with a scornful air
AS he humbly sat in the rearmost row,
When one of them gently said, For
bear!
He's somebody's husband. girls, you
know!
He is merely man, but a woman's
heart
Beats for him fondly day by day;
Though in life he may play but futile
part,
She cherishes him. That is woman
way.
So do not be hasty or unkind,
Your feelings Of just contempt to show.
With all of his failings, bear this in
mind:
He's somebody's husband, girls you
know
