What Would He Do With It?

A farmer owned dog-a very good. high bred and thoroughly trained dog that every morning for three years chased a railway train that ran past the farm. The farmer and his wife were watching the persistent but vain pursuit one warm morning.
 'I wonder" the wife said, what makes that foolish dog chase the train so persistently."
 "Never thought about that" replied the i.rmer, ''but I've often wondered what he would do if he caught it."

Aerial Warfare.

Aviator Ely yesterday accomplished the
feat of launching an airplane from the
deck of a warship and flying safely to
land. Owing TO the unpropitious con-
ditions he did not undertake a long flight,
making only about five miles from ship
to shore. But whether he progressed
five miles or fifty. he demonstrated the
possibility of flying from a vessel and
thereby proved the usefulness of the
heaviert than air-machine as a military
agency. II remains now only to ascer-
tain how satisfactorily an airplane, once
launched from a ship. can return to the
vessel after flying over a fleet or over
the land. This, however, is a detaii
which can be left TO be worked out later
The. point chiefly to be considered is that
the airplane Is a naval auxiliary of
practical value.
The airplane ia not cumbersome ma
chine. despite its dimensions. 1t can
be taken apart and slowed into a COM
paratively small space and quickly re-
assembled Doubtless in a very short

Quitting as the dirigible torpedo, and
the launching plane as necessary as the

strikingly similar in their function and
their possibilities, but the airplane is
obviously capable OF far greater range
and usefulness than the torpedo. AS
Stunning the ability of the aerial scout
to return safely to his vessel, even
though he does not land on deck, which
is too much to expect, the aeroplane
becomes of vastly greater Importance
than the torpedo, which is merely a shot

one possible object and with no return

Mr.. BRYAN ON 1912.

MIR Bryan is wary. He is talking
about the election results and their bear
ing ON the future of the democratic party
only a little. He could probably talk
much on the subject If he cared. He Is
quick to see and ever ready to describe
and decide. But. for good reasons. this
is not the day for much talk. and Mr..
Bryan reserves his observations. We
may be sure however. that he will not
reserve them too long. When the time
comes we shall have them. and they Will,
of course, be interesting.
But there is much in the little that Mr.
Bryan does say. While not a candidate
for the presidential nomination in 1912,
he refuses to comfort his enemies with
an assertion that he will not become one
He leaves that question open. as he
should At this time, when some re-
markable changes have just taken place,
and others in the next two years seem
likely, it would be folly for him. or any
other democratic leader of presidential
size to take himself definitely out of the
equation. He will wait and see how
matters shape up; what twists fortune
may show: and keep his hand open to
receive and hold fast all that fortune
may bestow upon him. The position he
takes is comfortable one from any
point of view.
Note. too, that in speaking of promis-
ing men Mr.. Bryan mentions Mr.. Folk
of Missouri an old and ardent friend.
Note further that Mr.. Folk lives on Mr..
Bryan's side Of the Alleghanies. The
peerless leaders admiration is not over
flowing for men of the east. They in
habit the enemy's country. The democ-
racy of some of them is, he thinks, at
least eccentric. Now they are demo-
Gratis. and now they are not His con-
fidence in his tribe is not bestowed equal
ly on all of it's members. Men OF the
Folk stripe suit him best.
And yet Mr.. Folk does not appear to
be a promising factor for 1912. His
record as a reformer, though good, was
parochial, and is now bit musty. More
over. Missouri this year did not range
herself with Ohio, Indiana, New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
and Maine. While they gave their votes
to the democracy. she gave hers to the
republican party. The result there was
a surprise to all.
The suggestion of Mr.. Folk. however,
may be only tactical. In 1904 Mr.. Bryan
picked for favorite at the national con-
vention Missourian with no prospects
of the nomination. Senator Cockrell
was never serious quantity In that
contest. BY putting him up Mr. Brayn
made for himself place while opposing
the east, and particularly Judge Parker.
But the east that year was too strong
for Mr.. Bryan. and defeated him before
1t became necessary for him to show his
real hand. Mr.. Cockrell was never a
possibility. and there is no record Of the
name of the man Mr.. Bryan hoped to
have the convention nominate.

The Board of Trade.

If the program of projects approved
| by the Board of Trade after study by
| it's various committees could be put
through in it's entirety the District OF
Columbia would indeed be brought
quickly to the point of approximate
municipal perfection. A believer IN
Washington's possibilities as model
community finds great encouragement
in the reports of last nights meeting
of this organization. at which the many
opportunities to go forward were dis
closed The Board of Trade has since
it's beginning stood for the acceptance
of such opportunities, for the expansion
Of business Washington, for the cure
Of physical evils, but above all for the
inculcation of u vigorous civic spirit.
In his annual address President Har-
ries dwelt impressively upon the need
of larger participation of the District
people in civic affairs, particularly In
all matters in which cooperation. phys
ical and financial. is essential to sue
cess. 1t is at times discouraging to
those who are striving to bring Wash
ington forward toward higher state
Of municipal development to find in
successive public-spirited works the
same participants, continually repeated.
The truth is the burdens are being
borne by comparatively few people.
This is unjust not only to those who
are carrying on the many works of
good citizenship but to those who stand
apart and let others work for them. The
Washingtonian who becomes identified.
however slightly or fnexpensively. with
a measure of public welfare himself
progresses as civic unit. He takes a
greater interest in the affairs Of the
community.
Membership in a civic organization
such as the Board of Trade does much
to develop practical. helpful citizen
ship. This body has been now engaged
for twenty years In giving expression
to the Washington idea. It's ACCOM-
plishments for the material advance
ment Of the capital have been numer-
Gus and important. 1t has stood in the
front of all the fighting in defense of
the essential principles Of the National
Capital partnership and for the ac-
complishment Of the positive achieve
ments that have in the past and are
still serving to differentiate Washing
ton from other American cities where
security. peace, comfort, health. beauty
and intellectual advantages are Sec
ondary to mere commercial considera-
lions.
The Board Of Trade now appeals to
Congress and to the citizens Of thu Dis
trict. 1t asks Congress for legislation
designed to complete works that have
already been begun and works that
have yet to be undertaken, making for
the advancement of the capital 1t
asks the citizens to cooperate in prof.
ects great and small, conserving the
public welfare. meeting emergencies,
creating new institutions. commemorate
ing worthy deeds and personages, and
altogether evolving a progressive COM
munity toward the goal of municipal
ideals.
