terry hands Of Europe may have more
work at the expense OF our own. and
there seems 10 be no reason why we
should lei hordes or alien Workmen
flock in 10 compete with our own here
Moreover. while the influx does harm TO
Americans. 1t is not certain that 1t does
commensurate good TO the immigrants
In some respects most Of them may be
better off here than they were IN their
old homes. but undoubtedly their COM
ing tends TO lower American conditions
TO the European level. Even now in
some of our overcrowded centres IL Is
no uncommon thing 10 hear men say
that they were better of In the Old
country than they are here.
If only the least desirable classes OF
Europeans are coming we ought not to
1,er.,aIt this country TO be made a sink
for the worlds refuse If, on the other
hand. we are getting the better classes
which We do not believe-then a seri-
Gus harm IS being done TO the lands
from which they come. Indeed, IN
either case we must doubt the good
effects upon Europe Of being deprived
Of laborers at the rate of a million a
year, 1t may well be held that simply
on humanitarian and patriotic grounds
1t would be far better for these people
TO remain at home and for efforts TO be
made 10 improve conditions of life and

GRAHAM WHITES AMBITION.

Many persons besides Graham
Whites fellow cotintTymen Will be
glad to see him carry out his plan to
fy from London to Paris. He was the
first aviator to try to capture Lord
N0rthcliffe's prize for an aerial journey
from London to Manchester. The in
stant he learned that his rival had won
he telegraphed his congra t1lations- He
has pluck, enterprise and ma gnanirnity.
The usual circuitous route from the
English capital to Paris is considera bly,
more than two hundred and fifty miles
long. In an airship it should be posi-
BILE to take a more direct path, not
greatly exceeding two hundred and ten
miles in length. If White should main
tain the speed Of forty-three miles an
hour which he developed last week he
would probably need to spend only ive
hours in actual fight. Stops for fresh
supplies of gasolene and for other pur-
poses might be desirab BILE, both in Eng
land and France. Even so, the trip
might easily be finished in half day.
One Of the things which Paulhan's re-
cent achievement shows is that it it
self can be surpassed with little diff
Guilty. A fight from London TO Paris
will in point Of distance. exceed
fight from London to Manchester by
twenty-five or thirty miles-on1y
slightly narrower margin than that by
which Paulhan beat F'arnan's latest
record.
Another lesson which last weeks ex-
perience emphasizes was taught last
summer by Bleriot. In the future aVia-
tors who aim to win new honors must
expect competition. Farman, who
hoped to cross the English Channel in
an aeroplane ahead of every one else,
was treated in the same way that
White has been just now. There is
little prospect that other aeronauts will
have the exclusive enjoyment OF any
fresh field of adventure such as Santos
Dumont had when he won the Deutsch
prize for a balloon trip not more than
ten or twelve miles long

FESTOVS Walk.

The walk across the continent which
Mr.. Edward Payson Weston Is now com
pleting with great success would be
worthy of some passing notice of a not
uncomplimentary kind If it were merely
feat In pe1estrianism and nothing
more. We have been no admirers Of the
miscellaneous and indiscriminate mara
thons" with which the world has recently
been oFerwearied on roads and In rinks
and dancehalls, any more than of the dis
susting six days walking matches which
degenerate imitators Of Mr.. Weston in
dulged in for gate money a genera ton
ago. Such things are reproach to the
name OF sport and menace to phvsica |
hygiene. But the bulk Of Mr.. Weston's
performances, and particularly this latest
Of them, must be put in a different cate.
CORY.
Many years ago Mr.. Weston made
himself a sort of apostle Of open air
walking -as an intelligent pastime and
health-g giving exercise" and he took il
upon himself to preach that gospel to his
countrymen by both precept and exam
pie. No doubt he did much good. Multi
tudeS of persons found benefit to mind
and body in emulating his example in a
rational and hefitting manner; and If un-
happily, with the too chara cteristic
American fondness for running TO ex-
tremes, many perverted and degraded a
good into mischievous practice. that
was not his fault The fact that he him
self adhered Loyalty TO his original ideals
is ample vindIcation of him.
Throughout his long career AIR. wes-
ton has been an advocate of temperate
living in all respects, and to that fact
We may attribute the circumstance that
while his would-be competitors Of early
years have vanished, hn remains. Thirty
years ago there were many professional
pedestrians who for time Ioomed larger
in the public view than be, though none
eyer surpassed his best achievements.
But they long ago dropped out Of pedes-
trianism and out of sight. though
younger than he, largely because OF fail
ure Of physical powers through intemner-
ance or other causes, while he at well
past seventy years Of age, : still AS fit
as ever and is able TO set new worlds

on common roads. nearly $500 miles. In
less than eighty days.
There is q lesson IN that which is
worth the teaching and well. worth the
learning. That it is which invests this

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THEATRE REGULATIONS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I have Just been reading OF the
death Of the young girl who fell over the
balcony In a local theatre last night, and
desire so say that I have often wondered
why more people don't fall over tbs balcony
rails IN any of our theatres. When the
lights are turned out those Of the audience
who have not taken their seats are allowed
to do So stumbling and feeling their way
as best they may.
II does seem unreasonable that those who
have taken the pains to como IN time to
get a full appreciation Of the play or
opera should be thus inconvenienced.
Furthermore. there is a certain element of
danger to life and limb in this proceeding
Police reguia tion5 are so strict in other
ways do not see why shey countenance
this.
If It were made en- invariable rule that
no persons should be allowed to take their
seats when the auditorium was dark, or to
leave their seats during act, except in
case of Illness, all dangers Of a like nature
might be avoid ID. L. WASHBURN.
