Over the Channel and Back.

Englishmen may perhaps consider that
the channel score is evened by the per-
Torrance of Capt. Rolls. While two
Frenchmen have flown the single course
from Calais to Dover, one English
man has made the round trip. Capt.
Rolls performance is a notable feat OF
aviation in that it is the first flight
over a long distance to an objective and
return without alighting. The Wright
flight from Fort Myer to Alexandria and
return was of this nature, but was not
comparable in point of distance. Capt.
Rolls new forty-two miles in ninety min
utes, not a noteworthy fight in point Of
speed. but significant In that it brings
channel crossers.
1t may be said by the French that as
long as they could fly into England from
their own shores they had no particular
desire to fly back. for they were thereby
demonstrating their ability to invade the
island IL the necessity arises. and that
the English performance OF fight to
France and return without alighting is
not strategically significant. On the
other hand, Capt. Rolls gave point to his
achievement by dropping saily rib
gate. expressing a friendly sentiment.
Inasmuch as this might have been an
explosive bomb. the incident NAV give
Frenchmen occasion to revise their esti-
mate OF the relative values of the English
and French styles Of channel crossing by

1t is stated that the suggestion does not
meet with general favor. Some of the in
surgents reject it. They feel that they are
statesmen in their own right and respon-
sible to their constituents. Being salts
fed with their conduct, they draw back
from the proposition that they run over to
New York and submit themselves to Mr..
Roosevelt for his approval. Much as they

they are not going to seek it in any sub

This seems to be the correct view OF the
case. A meeting between Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Fish will not be open to such OBJ
lection. They are chummy, and citizens
of the same state. OF course they will
talk politics. Now, Ham, tell me all

A Clerks Retirement Prospect.

The statement published in yesterdays
Star that there is bright prospect of
legislation at this session whereby the
principle of departmental retirements Will
be adopted by Congress Is calculated to
bring cheer to those who have despaired
of relief Until this announcement 1t
seemed certain that nothing would be
done in the immediate future for the pre-
vention of suffering among the superan-
nuated employees of the government. The
dropping of large number Of clerks from
the Treasury Department as result of the
adoption of labor-savng devices, however,
brought the subject to a focus and DEM
onstrated clearly that the government was
derelict in Its duty.
1t is announced that the legislation con-
templated will provide for the retirement
of the clerks In the classified service OF
the government without costing the
United States an additional dollar. This
clearly means the adoption OF compul-
sorry savings plan whereby the clerks will
finance their own retirement. Those who
have studied the subject closely know that
the clerks are in the main willing in this
manner to provide the means of insuring
the retirement Of the superannuated upon
a competence. 1t was hoped, however,
that when the government came to the
point of action 1t would take broader
ground and provide for the retirement OF
the elder clerks at least upon cost-shar-
ing basis, if not upon the same plane with
the retirement of members of the JUDI
ciary and officers and enlisted men Of the
army and navy.
However, 1t is reassur1ng to know that
there Is a willingness on the part OF the
leaders in Congress to put upon its pas
sage a clerks retirement measure OF any
kind whatever, so obstructive has been
the sentiment against 1t heretofore. As
it is now contemplated the Immediately
adopted provision will be only an outline
plan, to be supplemented by later legisia-
ton. 1t may be that upon fuller consid-
Grafton Congress will be willing to grant
the Justice of the governments parttcipat-
ing in the first cost Of clerical retirement.
But however that may be, the adoption
of the measure now in view will be an
assurance of relief to the veterans who
are In danger Of losing their only visible
means of support and of becoming OBJ
jects of charity after years Of faithful,
efficient service for the government Of
the United States.

Senatorial Instructions in Ohio.

The Ohio democratic state convention is
but little more than fortnight away.
1t will make quick work OF the nomina-
ton for governor. That honor will go
with a sincere whoop to the man now
holding the Office. He has deserved what

with which they offer him to the people

There may however, be a racket in the
convention over the senatorship. Gov.
Harmon and his closest advisers oppose
the proposition to name a candidate for

before the ambitious democrats of the
state, so as to set them all to hard work
in the campaign. Their idea Is that If the
convention makes choice only the fortu-
nate aspirant will get busy. The defeated
ones will all cool off.

Sureckels and His Pessimism.

Rudolph Spreckcls, very rich man,
having failed in his first attempt 10
clean up san Francisco, seems to have
masnifed the existence and the power or
evil in politics everywhere. He points to

lis rotten from the top down. Still, he
does not despair. He is organizing gem
craI crusade against corruption IN puoiic
affairs. and reports progress.
Mr. Spreckels is mistaken. His one un-
successful aft hunt has made him
unduly pessimistic. His activity refutes
his declaration. If our politics Is rotten

up. upon what is he going to build: II

New York and San Francisco are not en-

Matters have probably been bad there,
but they have been bad elsewhere also.

such great activity corruption has neces-
saTly worked its way and controlled lar

The ruling shirt of this country, at top
and at bottom. is and. not rotten. Where
ore Official mas been elected by corrupt
means. a hundred can show clean bills
Of health. Where one legislator, city,
state or national. has sold his vote,
hundred have studied and solved public
questions absolutely free from all con-
siderations but the public good. Where
one ballot box has been stuffed, or the
count faIsihed, hundred have shown
the honest expression of the will OF
voters.
AS a people, judged by and large. we
are all right. The CRATER today is IN
more peril than ever before in the his
tory of the country. 1t is still difficult
to reach the man hi~her up" but that
inheres in all rascality, at all times,
everywhere Tine man higher up has
safeguards not easily penetrated or brok-

and making his operations more difficult.
AS the authorities grow more vigilant,
corrupt tools are less easily obtained.

but with a better opinion Of the general
situation.
