be getting their light at a much lower
rate from the city than they could
ever hope to get it from the private
corporations. The trouble with this
condition being realized is that the
electrical companies in what. to the
unpreJudiced observer, would appear
to be moment of mental abbera-
tion, insisted on appealing the matter
to the referendum. So long as this
complication continues, and it will con-
tinue for a year if the people vote to
sustain the council ordinance making
the 7-cent rate, the matter Is entirely
out of the control of the city council,
and however we'll inclined the city Of

mise proposition which, while making
a large saving to the people of the
city, would bring peace and harmony
and end further disputes, it is not pos
sible for the city council to take any

CENSORSHIP NEEDED

A CITY ordinance prohibiting minors
"a meaning all persons under q
IA years of age-from attending
moving picture shows, penny arcades
and the like, "unless accompanied by a
parent" would ha impossible Of en-
forcement, as Councilman O'Brien
says; a law more honored in the breach
than the observance. Many minors
under 21-thousands of them-are pa
rents themselves; so the raising of the
present age limit of IA years obviously
would not accomplish the end desired
by the police commission.
If these cheap moving picture and
kinetoscope affairs are an evil, it is
absurd and inconsistent to let them
carry on their business, and then pro-
hibit attendance on an enterprise that
has the sanction of the authorities. The
thing to do is to remove the evil.
No one who has investigated the mat
ter will venture to say it is not an evil,
for some of the pictures set forth at
so cheap a price that almot every child
can see them must have a sad effect on
plastic young minds. 1t is difficult to
see how there is to be correction of
that evil without destroying such part
Of the business as is not essentially

that a committee of sensible women,

AERIAL TRANSPORTATION TO
BENEFIT MINING INDUSTRY

Editor Herald: 1t cannot be ques-
toned that the dispatch from Dussel-
dorf, Germany announcing the Sue
cessful journey of twenty passengers
in Count Zeppelin's aerial ship over
distance of 300 miles in nine hours is
worthy of more than a passing notice.
Is 1t not reasonable to regard this
demonstration of the feasibility of
aerial navigation as the beginning OF
new method of travel and transporta-
tion, destined to know development
in the near future of which but few
persons have dared to dream?
Travel by dirlglble balloon is In no
way to be confounded with locomotion
in a flying machine. While the latter
has made great progress within a very
brief time, and is sure to make greater
still. yet 1t is still full of peril to the
aviator and exceedingly limited in
practical utility. But the former not
only possesses all the elements of
safety in land and water transporta-
ton, and some additional. but 1t is
claimant OF the attention of the public
as luxurious means of travel and
practical mode of transportation.
What conceivable means of locomo-
tion could present such fascination as
the gentle. swift and safe gliding of
balloon through the atmosphere, far
above all distractions, yet subject to
the control of the pilot; free from dust
and smoke and noise and jolt, while
affording a wide expanse of view that
must be simply enhancing to the pas
senger? And all this while the traveller
is enjoying the luxury of a richly up
holstered parlor, the comforts of a we'll
appointed dining room and every con-
Venience known to modern travel. To
realize that the world Is on the eve of
q development like this is surely suf-
ficient to make one "sit up and take
notice."
OF what inestimable value to the
mining world would be such a means of
transportation in carrying to the mills
and smelters the ore from practically
inaccessible mines, far distant from
established roads. and also in lifting
the miner above the perils of the desert
and the dangers and Instructions of the
mountains.
1t is an interesting piece of history
that the 2Sth day of this month will
mark the fiftieth anniversary of the
most remarkable balloon trip in the an
nails of history, made under the guild
ance of our own fellow citizen, Prof. T.
s. c. Lowe, who at that early day had
solved the problems OF aerial naviga-
ton, but lacked a suitable form of en-
gine to put his Ideas into practical exc
cution. He is today preparing to sur
pass all other inventors and promoters
of aerial navigation in speed safety,
lifting power, comfort and practical
utility possible to the dirigible balloon.
His success will mean not only we'll
deserved fame to himself, but also a
new and unique point of vantage for
our own fair city among the cities of
the world. MELVILLE DOZIER.
