A committee was appointed to call at

Latham's High Flight.

Such performances as that Of Hubert
Latham at Mourmelon, France. Friday,
when he rose to a height of about
1850 feet. add but little to the progress
In the development of the aeroplane as
a practicable means of human flight.
The attainment of record breaking
altitude is only a sporting event. of
interest as proving the stability of the
machine, but contributing virtually moth
ing to the evolution of the ideal flying
machine. The only possible advantage to
be gained by these high flights lies in
the opportunity they afford the aviators
to study the air currents. Latham. how
ever, appears to be intent rather on
doing something extraordinary than
upon conducting a scientific investiga-
ton. More interesting from the prac-
teal point Of view would be a cross
country flight Of equivalent distance,
testing the capacity Of the machine to
carry It's passenger from point to point
upon a given quantity Of fuel. In one
respect the low cross-country fight is
more difficult that the soaring high
flight. for the eccentricities of the at
mosphere are more marked Immediately
above the earth's surface than in the
upper regions. The inequalities Of the
soil, with the plane broken by hills,
trees, buildings. fences and other pro-
tuberances. are all felt by the aviator
as he skins along. The air waves which
are caused by these excrescences must
all be negotiated by the operator. sThus
the low fight calls for higher degree
of skill than the record-breaking high
flight

British Politics.

The confidence Of the British liberals OF
controlling the next house of commons
has been somewhat shaken since the
opening Of the campaign. owing to the in
sistence of the laborites on placing can
diuates in the field in districts hitherto
by the third party. In
no less than fifty districts there are
now three leading candidates., in circum-
stances calculated to favor the return of
members through a split
ting Of the liberal-labor vote. At present
the leaders of the liberal party are con-
centrating their efforts to induce their
labor allies to withdraw these candidates.
1t is intimated that 1t will be neces-
sary to withdraw the liberal candidates
from a number Of the districts in order
to induce a corresponding action by the
laborites elsewhere. In view of the
magnitude of the stake for which the
ministerial alliance is playing 1t is hardly
to be DOUBTED that some such arrange
ment will be made. There is no serious
breach in the ranks of the conservatives
and unionists. While they have their
differences on the tariff question, they
are unit In opposition to the budget.
and they will unquestionably take ad-
vantage of any weakness the ministerial
combination may develop through the
ambition Of the laborites to increase their
membership In the house of commons.

Not all petitions are unworthy. nor all

So that when the Morse petition. with a

White House it will be referred to the
Department of Justice. and there weighed
in the balance as against the law and the
evidence already known there. The care
less and uniformed sympathy which has
operated to induce so many "old fellows

guide the pen which reports on the case

thing stronger than sympathy will be
necessary then.

Taft as q Conservationist.

The congressional investigation of Sec.
rotary Baiiinger's administration of the
Interior Department should not be at
fected in t..e slightest degree by Mr..
Pinchots challenge of the President.
which was very plain, or by the Presi-
dents prompt acceptance, which was very
natural. What the country wants Is the
whole truth about the charges that the
Secretary has misused and brought dis
credit upon his office. If he has. and the
fact Is established. he will, of course, re-
tire. Ii he has not. and II Is SHOWN that
he has been falsely accused. his triumph
will be signal one. and his usefulness
as a public servant increased by his VIM
dication
Whether Pfnchot goes or stays or
whether Ballinger stays or goes Is, how
ever, in neither case the test of President
Taft as a genuine. practical, effective
conservationist. Pinchot has disqualified
himself as a helpful lieutenant of the
President. Whether Ballinger is the best
of such heutenants will soon be deter
mined by the investigation. But the ver-
dict of the people upon President Taft as
a conservat. on,st will not depend upon
whether he retains the services of one or
neither of these men, but upon what he
actually does in the administration Of
certain departments and bureaus for the
conservation of the national resources
under existing laws. and upon what he
recommends in new legislation to supple
ment the law where it is Inadequate. and
upon the vigor with which he pushes the
proposed statutes to enactment and the
enthusiasm and sound judgment with
which he applies them, when enacted, to
the protection OF the public interests.
President Taft's record and reputation
As a conservationist will be made or un-
made not by Pinchot or by Ballinger, but
by Taft himself.

The True Retirement Principle.

Secretary Macveaghs delegated repre-
sentative for working out model de-
partment retirement bill is proceeding
upon a sound basic principle. He starts
with the proposition that the government
should bear the entire expense of any
such scheme of civil retirements, and has
adopted the ratio Of IL per cent OF the
salary received at the time of retirement
multiplied by the number OF years the
clerk has performed active service. Thus
the pay after retirement Is propOrtioned
both to the value Of the services rendered
at the time when active service ceases
and to the length of time during which
the government has had the benefit OF
those services. This is an entirely just
measure. provided the beneficiary Of the
retirement provision has not been re-
duced in salary materially during the
latter years of his clerical career. It
might happen that the most efficient and
faithful clerk, after serving the government
thirty years or more, and rising to the
highest point of pay permitted by the
law. would be reduced In compensation
from time to time, after attaining to
the climax of his capacity, and fall to
the lowest clerical pay rate before reach
ing the age Of retirement, through suffer
ing some diminution of powers In illness.
Care should be taken to safeguard against
this possibility. The retired veteran clerk
should receive a compensation proper
toned not merely to the pay given during
the last few years, but to his average OF
usefulness throughout his period of serv
Ice.
1t has been calculated that for SIS
a year the government can provide
fair annuity for each twelve-hundred-dol-
lar clerk who reaches the retirement age
of seventy-f1ve. This is small insurance
against incompetence and injustice. 1t
may be regarded as representing the gov
ernment's investment in average clerical
capacity. or as a guarantee fund to in
sure fidelity to the service and the con-
servation of the individual clerks expert
ence. 1t Is a. small sum when the real
benefits of retirement are measured. The
government can far better afford to spend
this amount of money the aggregate
being by no means a large figure COM
pared with expenditures for less pro-
ductive objects, than to deny the clerks
the prospect Of old-age provision and IT.
