In these days of twentieth century

must be revised For all ages since the
world began, the air has been free for
any ones use to the limit of his possibli-
ties, about the only restriction being that
be must not poison it with foul gases TO
the injury of his immediate neighbors.
Now, however, the use of flying ma
chimes will soon make necessary rules
for man'S use of the air in that way; and
it is proposed if possible TO have the
government control the use of the air by
amateur wireless operators, so that they
may not interfere with wireless mes

Teller, Jr., is to give up most Of his bust

A remarkable speech was made a
short time since in Mississippi by Leroy
Percy, who succeeds Yardaman as
United States Senator from that state.
He strongly opposes race hatred, and
asks Cor fair show for the Negro. The
contrast with his predecessor, the en-
bodiment add representation of the worst
form of race hatred, is tremendous and
significant. Moreover, he is said to re-
fleet the sentiment of the dominant
men" of Mississippi. Let US hope that
the beginning of the end of the vogue of
Tillmans aud Vsrdamans is in sight, and
that the undeniably formidable race
problem is to be approached in spirit
more in accordance with this enlighten-
ed age.
