The series of aeronautic contests at
Los Angeles which closed on Thursday
was distinguished by the paucity of Its
practical results. Paulhan broke two
worlds records. and yet his performances
possessed little significance In one
flight the F'renchman ascended 4,l6o
feet. or 565 feet higher than Latham got
few weeks ago. but this margin was
much smaller than that between
Latham's $500 feet and Orville Wrights
1.6OO. Paulhans 'cross-country'' voy-
age covering "a distance of forty-seven
miles. while nominally superior to every
previous dash of the same sort by other
ayiators, is not to be compared with
Farman's journey Of 144 miles in an "en-
durance" trial. Curtiss seems to have
accomplished nothing at all worth men
tioning. In a 'ten-lap' race he devel-
oped speed of less than forty-two miles
an hour, or considerably below that
which he made at Rheims last year. The
exhibition coubtless possessed enough
novelty for the spectators to prove highly
entertaining, not to say exciting. It
does not appear, however, that the world
is much wiser for the show. Tests Of
the feasibility of dropping bombs within
a prescribed area on the surface of the
earth-eXperiments which promised to
have practical Importance for military
men--were not carried far enough to
prove anything.

PHILLIPS BROOKS.

The long-awaited memorial to the late
Bishop Brooks, of Massachusetts, group
of heroic size in bronze, created by the
late Augustus st. Gaudens, which is to
be unveiled in Copley Square, Boston,
to-day, will signally perpetuate the mem
ory of the great preacher. Erected near
Trinity Church, the home of his chief
labors, this memorial will none the less
recall TO the world at large the name
and fame of one Of the greatest spiritual
leaders whom modern Christendom has
known.
1t Is seventeen years since Phillips
Brooks died, suddenly cut off in the
prime Of his services; yet it is indis-
putable that he is still living force for
good TO thousands, both in and out of his
particular denomination, and an inspira-
ton TO countless men and women who
never even heard him preach. Such a
man needs no memorial. save as his
works live after him, invisible but
mighty, In the souls of those whom he
has influenced. Yet if it be natural and
wise to erect buildings, statues or other
memorials to those who have served the
world notably, as the last Bishop served
both God and man, then surely there
could be no filter subject for such visible
commemoration. Harvard, for example,
has long since commemorated his love

AN EXCEPTION TAKEN.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The following appeared In yester-
days papers:
With the price OF hosiery and underwear
already 80 per cent higher than IL was a
year ago. the manufacturers of the coun-
try have Just decided to put on another
% per cent. SO that, as they say they can
get some profit out of the business
The statement that there has been an
increase Of 80 per cent in the price of
hosiery compared with year ago Is NOT
only untrue, but there has practically been
no increase at all so far 1t is also untrua
that there is either an additional increase
of % per cent or total Increase of %
per cent contemplated at this time.
The price of raw cotton has advanced
from about cents a pound at the time
present prices of hosiery were figured 10
about 10 cents a pound at present. The
manufacturer is confronted by the perple,-
ing problem of meeting the CONSEQUENT DIFF
ference In the cost of production without
putting a prohibitive price on his product
A legitimate advance to Offset the in
creased cost would be from 10 per cent To
. per cent. according to the weight and
character of the article. If the manufact-
urer is TO receive the same moderate nro6+
as year ago. In the light of experience
II Is safe TO say that he will not be ahla
to obtain one-half of this advance. II 10
probable that the average advance ON ALI
grades will figure at less than 5 per cent
and not iS per cent. as stated in the ar.
tiele quoted.
Such statements are circulated for pollti-
cal purposes. but they add TO the socia,
unrest and discomfort Wages of hosiery
operatives are now higher than ever, while
the manufacturers profits are reduced bv
tho inability TO procure the raw staple az
a reasonable price. All these facts can ha
easily suhstantiated. CHARLES VEIN.

WILL THE CONSUMERS CoHBIyE,

lt Is not necessary to guess how i'm
portant Will be the effect of the "meat
strike which now appears TO be spread
sng rapidly over the country. The strik-
ers may be in earnest, or there NAV
be much talk but little resolute action,
rs in the case of the cotton growers
combinations which vowed to burn GER
tain percentage Of the big crop of a few
years ago. and which, if we mistake not.
actually did burn one 5ale But what
ever the course of the strike may he.
The movement is significant as the first
considerable attempt at joint action on
the part of consumers.
While producers have been uniting to
control or regulate" prices-we believe
regulate IS the less offensive word
while trusts have been forming, while
even farmers have been uniting into cot
ton, tobacco and grain growers associa-
tiOns to limit the supply of produce. while
laborers have been getting together to
agree among themselves how much labor
they would sell and how much they
would demand for 1t, the consumer has
gone on serenely Indifferent TO what was
being done by those who supplied his
wants. Now something has happened to
his pocketbook. Will he, too, initiate his
enemy and form combinations? viii
meat strikes be succeeded by efforts to
establish cooperative markets controlled
by the consumers themselves, and by per
manent organizations pledged not to buy
above certain prices. as the early pools
bound themselves not to sell below GER
tain rates? IL combination is the order
cf the day, SIS we have been taught TO
believe. why shall the consumers not
epmbine:
II is said that the first manufacturing
pools resulted from need on the part
OF producers TO protect themselves from
The ruinous effects of competition. Just
at present it is the consumer who is feel
ing the ruinous effects of competition.

nearly even than 1t was in the last
House. A minority Of less than 20
per cent is too small to exercise the
useful functions of a constitutional
opposition. The evils of dispropor-
ticnate divisions OF parties lave 'een
felt in our own Congress well as
in Great Britain. With IL jority reck-
oned by dozens or scores, instead OF by
hundreds, a British government Is not
crippled in legitimate power. After the
revolutionary reform bills Of 1867 Mr..
Gladstone had for his famous working
ministry majority not half so large
as that which Mr.. Asquith had In the
last Parliament, it being only 122 in
1871 at the height of the administra-
tons activity. Disraeli in 1874 had
ma jority of only 46, and Gladstone in
1880 only 62 yet there was no complaint
of lack of efficiency on the part of their
ministries.
The result which at this time seems
most probable is that the Liberal gov
ernment will be dependent for a major
ity upon a coalition with the Labor and
Nationalist parties, instead of having,
as Defore, a clear Liberal majority over
all. The examples of France and Ger
many in recent years afford illustra-
tions of the evils Of such situation. 1t
is conceivable that in such a case the
Laborites would demand as the price
of their support some radical industrial
or social legislation, or that the Ma
tionalists would demand measure OF
Home Rule which the more conserva-
tive members of the Liberal party might
not be willing to grant. The govern
ment might thus be confronted with the
dilemma of having to choose between
breaking with its allies and alternating
some of its own members, either of
which courses might be fatal to its ma
jority and might therefore lead TO an
other dissolution and election.
