AERIAL NAVIGATION.

From time immemorial the world has known of
flying machines that would not fly. Several years
ago the flying machine that would fly was ushered
in, after centuries of trials and disappointments
Although the art of flying is new, already have the
developments been such as to create speculation as
to the ultimate control of the air we breathe The
flyers have been studying whence come the winds
and whittier they go as diligently as have the nav
gators of the one-time boundless deep studied the
force and direction of the sea currents. Prospec-
tive routes have been laid out over which the aerial
navgators of the future expect to guide their craft
from port to port.
No doubt perfection is attained in this new
means of transportation, new problems will arise
which will be governed by law and international
agreement. Routes of regular airships will be
mapped out in the upper currents and will be fol-
lowed even more closely than are the routes of the
great transatlantic steamships of today 1t will
be necessary to have such routes to safeguard the
travellers from collision and to protect the rights
of the corporations who buy up the privileges of
the upper air. Just whom they will buy these rights
from is not at present plain, but an owner will no
doubt spring up at the psychological moment
Then, too, the tariff walls which have been erected
around the nations of the world will have to be torn
down, for the collection of duties from an airsbn
bound from one nation to another will be found
impossible
OF all the developments of the twentieth CEN
tury none can be of more Importance than the
flying machine. This not only because of the nos
slbllltes 1t offers of transportation b,+
also because 1t represents the accomplishment of
mans desire from near the beginning of time

PARTYISM AND PATRIOTISM.

President Taft, since he was inaugurated. a
number OF times has spoken and written of the dutv
OF Congress and of his administration to carry ont
the pledges of the platform upon which he was
elected. In recent address he spoke of himself as
the "titular head" of the party that elected him
Perhaps he is that, but we had always considered
him the President of the United States II ;e .
difficult question, one upon which political econom
lists OF different schools disagree, as to how far
partyism shall enter into the conduct of the nnbli
business. Are we ruled by our elected representa-
tlves, or by a political party? And Just where is
the dividing line between partyism and patriotism2
In the past the charges have been made. and

party pledges have been forgotten after the cleo

BIGGER WARsHIPs.

Dreadnoughts are to become super-Dread-
noughts and the giant battleships of the present
day are to be superseded if the opinion of Rear
Admiral Bacon of the British navy is to be de-
pended upon The world has been long enough
playing with toys as warships, he thinks, and
henceforth nothing less than Dreadnought will
be acceptable as a guarantee of peace. The great
est advantages claimed for monster battleships

effectively destructive than the same number di-
vided among three of four boats; the big vessel
ALSO by its very sze is less liable to destruction
by the enemy and last, but not least the big vessel
is a promoter of economy.
All these are very good reasons why bigger
ships should be built if the militant spirit of the
world is to grow the years go by. 1t is ptiabe
condition which confronts the nations of the world
1t required only few scratches of the pen to re-
all battleships and warlike paraphernaia from
the Great Lakes. Some day, perhaps, when saner
counses prevail similar action on the part of the
nations of the world will remove the Dreadnoughts

THESE ARE FRANK.

From time immemorial it has been the custom
and habit of political leaders to appeal to their
constituency in the name of party or patriotism
If the leaders could get votes plea, they
sought them on the other. Of late years. however
selfish note has entered into the appeal for votes;
prosperity and the full dinner pail have been the
slogans but above it all stood out plain the patri
otto call to country to party. 1t is interesting,
therefore, to note the Inauguration of a political
party based entirely on selfish motives at least
that is frankly selfish. Some two million American
Federationists and some four million Farmers
Unionists, it is now reported, to get together
to control the destinies of the nation of ninety
million people. Their appeal is not call to coun-
try or to party but is entirely selfish and mercen-
ary and is not cloaked under any pretense of pa
triotism. They will throw their support to any
candidate candidates who will enact legislation
of direct benefit to them.
The very frankness of their position will, we
fear be the cause of their failure to secure great
following The American people are not accus-
toned to such frankness Every pleading for
subsidy, an appropriation, high tariff or any leg
islation which carried with it an expenditure from
the federal treasury has been made the broad
grounds of patriotism the benefits to come to the
whole people rather than to any favored interest
There never was piece of legislation enacted
which did not have for its object "the good of all"
If some few favored profted by the legislation,
that fact has been buried beneath storm of polit
zeal oratory in which the main point has been lost.
For the reason that it is coming to be generally
believed that the trusts of the nation have proted
unduly by the legislation of recent years,
there are indications of a gigantic political
upheaval which will put the party respon-
sible for the legislation out of power. When the
people have accomplished that desire, it is not
likely they will want to entrust the cares of gov
eminent to party definitely pledged to class legis
lation, no matter how worthy the Federationists
and the Farmers may be- "The good of all" might
take more tangible form under this new alignment,
but the movement is too frankly honest to succeed
A certain amount of assimilation is necessary in
any political movement; the people like to be 'buf
faloed"

ONE IDEA.

How many of us ever evolve one brand-new idea
out of our inner consciousness? Or, having evolved
that idea, how many of us are capable of deveIon-
ing it for the benefit of the race-and incidentarr
for ourselves2
Away back in the early sos, George Pullman
was grocery clerk who through some fortuitms
circumstance was compelled to spend a night on
a railroad train. Because the long vigil wearied
him, he wondered why people couldn't 90 to bed
on trains as well as in hotels, and he set about
making some contrivance which would permit seats
for the day time to be arranged into bed at night
And that idea developed by George Pullman and
the Pullman company, has grown to more than
hundred million dollars. Indeed, it has become so
great factor in American life that it has been
the subject of congressional investigation and reg
ulatiOn by the interstate commerce commission.
The dispatches from Washington have informed
US that the rates charged by the Pullman company
for "uppers" are too high in the opinion of the
commission; that the earnings of the Pullman com
pany excessive on this account. Just now there
is demand for "lowers," but decreased cost on
"uppers" might stimulate demand for them. too.
But that is phase of the question we did not in
tend to touch upon. 1t was intended only to call
attention to the value of one brand-new idea A
company with capital stock of $1OOOOO,O0O has
grown out of this one.

HEROINES OF THE CROSS.

"They buried him, for they said, he is a leper"
2 Chron. 1921.
There appeared not long ago in the North
western Christian Advocate (Chicago) a very i'm
pressive letter written from Ecuador, South Amer
lea, by Mrs. A. T. Sampson, wife of the American
minister to the little republic Her letter recounts
her visit to the eper hospital at Quito the capital
of Ecuador. Here is an extract from Mrs Wat
sons letter:
among these different classes of unfortunates
twelve resident Sisters of Charity who are here
there, and everywhere. Clothed in white, with kind
placid faces, they minister to the suffering and
speak cheerful words to each. The Mother Su-
peror who told me she had been in charge twelve
years, had face only in a thousand, strong and
resoute with light upon it that spoke for the
spirit within
eve asked her how she could endure to spend
her life among such scenes. We were about leav-
ing, and without a word she took my hand in hers
and led me to a tiny chapel hung in white The
altar was strewn with flowers on one side hung
picture of Our Mother of Sorrows, and near it
hung one of the Good Shepherd, to which she
pointed and our question answered.
Owe stood by her side moment, looking into
the face of the Good Shepherd, and the contrast
with all we had seen and felt during the two hours
before was such that hush fell upon us and. in
thought, we were transported beyond the Clouds"
Mrs. Watson does not mention that in the little
leper chapel tiny lamp with lighted float
indicating the presence of our Divine Lord in the
Blessed Sacrament reserved in the tabernacle This
Sacred Presence and not the picture of the Good
Shepherd, impaired to the good sisters the con-
staney unalterable patience and the sublime hero
ism inseparable from their exalted sacrifice
When four years ago we visited the Papapo
mission school of ST. Xavier del Bac, Arizona. we
asked of the three lonely sisters of the miser
able Indian village how often the priest from
Tucson said mas sin their little chapel9
"Twice month, sir"
"And in the meantime?"
"In the meantime we are alone with the Blessed
Sacrament"
ooh, the bishop then permits the Reservation
in your oratory?"
eyes, without the Blessed Sacrament we could
not live here. We three are alone We have no
amusements, no society, and, outside of ourselves
