Union scored one run in the first inning on a pass, a sacrifice and a hit. Three more were scored in the second, after two were down, and two strikes on the batter, an attempt to catch man at second re- sulting in a wild throw.

New York.-Lake George

President Taft has gone as far east
as he can and remain In the United
States, and Premier Laurier has gone
almost as far west as he can without
leaving Canada. says the New York
Times. Both are addressing initial
producers and ultimate consumers, and
perhaps are doing as much good by
listening as by talking. For II is TO
be remarked that both are limited by
their official responsibilities, and are
not free to make all kinds of promises
to their hearers. Both Of them would
like to promise better commercial re-
lations between the countries which
they respectively represent, but both
are hampered by the same theory that
taxes produce prosperity. and that The
law knows better what Is economic
ally beneficial than any individual. or
any commercial community, knows
without the aid of statutes.
II is significant that both audiences,
separated as far as the continent al
lows. and presumably nonpartisan,
agreed in dissent from the policy of
both countries. President TAFT was
cheered In a Republican and protec-
ZIONIST state when he proposed
down the tariff bars. and APremier
Laurier enjoyed a similar experience,
although he was addressing bearers

100000 cotton mill operatives out Of

WHEN THE DEFLECT0R FAILS.

The one mishap that leaves the
aviator absolutely helpless and makes
his death or severe injury almost GER
tain is the failure of his deflectors.
That leaves him with no control of
his machine, which at once loses head
way and therefore falls straight down
ward. Against that mishap there Is
no provision and can be none except
careful construction. Mr.. Hamnton,
in a recent conversation, said that
when the deflectors went wrong II was
all up with the aviator-he was
bound to come 20 the ground with a
crash, with no power whatever to
select landing place. The failure OF
the engine, no matter at what height,
was a comparatively trivial accident
he declared since the ability to steer
remained and the best OF many avail
able points of descent could still be
chosen.
