Biplaneand Monoplane Compared.

An interesting feature of the avia-
tion meet at Los Angeles is me con-
troversy whether the monoplane or
the biplane will be the ultimate evo-
luton of the successful flying machine.
The monoplane is planned, roughly
speaking, on the lines of bird. The
biplane partakes of the nature and
qualities of the box kite. So far the
most notable performance of the
monoplane was Bleriot's sensational
flight across the English channel. At
the Los Angeles meet the monoplane
cut little figure and the biplane scored
all the notable successes.
Nevertheless practiced aviators, or
many Of them, are persuaded that the
monoplane will be the ultimate form
OF the machine; although they admit
that it must be greatly improved. Tie
monoplane, as at present constructed,
has certain serious defects. It lacks
stability and balance when in the air
and the location of the propeller in
front of the operator makes his posi-
tion almost untenable, facing the bit
ter blast created by the revolving
screw and directed almost in his teeth.
One of the Incidental difficulties of avi-
alton arises from the biting draft Of
cold air in which the operator must
sit, and this objection is seriously ag-
gravated by the artificial blast direc-
ted on the aviator from the propeller
in front of the monoplane.
The biplane appears to have over
come the difficulty at first experienced
of rising into the air without long
running start given by an external
force, but it is rather awkward
machine of complicated construction
and consequently easily liable to de-
rangement. Notwithstanding it's pre-
sent lead it may yet give place to the
simpler form Of the monoplane.

st. Paul is sOrely in need of a
mayorality candidate for the coming
spring election. Prominent business
snen who have been approached on
this subject positively declined to
make the run. This situation, says
the Pioneer Press, illustrates the
weakness of the American political
methods of handling public affairs.
"Fhat paper goes On to say that the
important point in this country is not
whether man is qualified to hold
office so much as whether he is enough
known and has the vote-getting ability
that make his election probable. It
is different in most European coun-
aries. When a German city, for
example, wants a mayor it does not
cast about among the lawyers, doctors
and merchants at home to see which of
them could poll the largest number of
votes. 1t looks around for the man
best qualified by experience and
ability to fill the position. If he is
ACT TO be found at home the citizens
will go somewhere else to get the right
Gnan for the job. When we wanted
man to take charge Of our schools we
did not canves the list of business men
and iobbers. We looked around for
a man known to have special training
and ability for the position to be
silled. The fact that he resided in
another city made no difference. He
was engaged to come and take charge
of the schools. Yet when man is
wanted to take charge of the general
business of the city he must of neces-
sity under the present spstem be a
man with little or no training for the
place. The principal qualification
seems to be, can he round up the
necessary votes? These are cond1-
sions which should be changed.

At the Theatre.

In presenting James Forbes latest
comedy success, "The Travelling Sales
man, at Turner Theatre, Feb. 9th,
Mr.. Henry B. Harrie feels assured that
it will be received here with the same
hearty appreciation as was its expert
ence in New York, where it ran for
300 nights, in Chicago, where it en-
dured a run of 200 nights at the Illi-
nois Theatre, and incidentally broke
all records for a summer run in that
city, and 100 nights in Boston at the
Park Theatre.
ssThe Travelling Salesman is a
breezy comedy which depicts charac-
teristic scenes of the dru1nmer's life on
the road, and so we'll has the .author
done this that CONFUSION of laughs
is the result. The play contains line
Of plain and fancy laughs. There are
no job-lots OF shop-worn jokes, but
verything is up to the minute. The
story concerns a drummer who alights
rom train in a jerk water town and
coming into the depot meets the woman
ticket agent and telegraph operator,
and it is case of love at first sight.
he becomes interested in her story of
now she is trying to hold on to little
piece of land, which she is ia danger
Of losing because she lacks sufficient
funds to pay the taxes on it. In the
second act IS disclosed poker game
among bunch of drummers and this
scene alone is worth twice over the
price of admission. It is here that
Bob Blake the drummer, learns that
the little operators land is desired by
the railroad company and that gang
of sharpers are going TO try to cheat
her out Of it. His efforts in her behalf
furnish the heart interest in the play.
The company that will present Mr..
Forbes play in this city are actors of
reputation especially selected by Mr..
Harris, q manager of Judgment, whose
success has been little short of phe-
nomenal. The production is adequate
in every way, and those who witness
The Travelling Salesman are as
sured of a thousand laughs.

Good Roads.

The Minnesota Roadmakers' associ-
alton will hold its second annual meet
ing at the Auditoriumo on March 18th
under the auspices Of the state high
way commission. The meeting will be
held in connection with the Minnesota
conservation and development con-
gress to be held in ST. Paul nextmonth
and should be interesting and profit
able. Good roads are right in line
with the theory of conservation.
II is important not only that we
make best use of our undeveloped re-
sources but that We should not waste
time, money and effort in doing SO.
The farmer who is forced to haul hall
q load to town over poor roads when
he might haul twice as much over 90
improved highway is wasting resour-
ces. Il is important that he should
not impoverish the soil by unscientifc
methods and it also is important that
he should not be forced TO squander
time and energy in getting his crops to
market.

to arouse the people to q realization
OF what we should do in order to gel
what we are entitled to from the re.

We common people who don't own
railroads and can't lay claim to a
title are becoming accustomed to get
ting the current wisdom dealt out in
4nicely prepared packages by our rail-
road presidents, professors or church
siignitaries. It is dull day when the
old prattler i'm Hill has not some
patent plan for the cure of all our
woes and on the day when the Great
Northern trust philosopher is for the
moment quiet along comes Mr.. Ri pley
of the Santa Fe who is closely follow
ed by W. G. Brown of the New York
Central and last, but not least, Arch
bishop Ireland joins the wise ones
and all pretend to know what causes
the necessities of life to be so high
priced. There'll be time, when the
people, mind you, the common, ordi-
nary people, will have studied these
things for themselves and ten year
old schoolboy will be able to tell Hill
and all the rest where they are at
1t will be remembered that sometime
ago Jim said that if the hodsekeeper,
instead of standing in front of the
telephone to order the family supplies
would go to the market and learn
which foods are cheap and just as
good as the expensive kind she has
been ordering, there would be less talk
about high prices, and Archbishop
areiund says there is dreadful waste
resulting from ignorance Of house
keeping, and thai American women do
.not know how to save in cooking.
Nov, this causes an indignant woman
ao ask: "There is to be found in Gro
acerg Stores ham called by Grocers
la small California ham. One year
sago it could be purchased for nine
scents a pound Today it is IA cents.
Will Mr.. Hill Or Archbishop ireland
aellsae how my ignorance OF cooking
or org use of telephone which
don't possess raised the price of
this ham five cents a pound in one
year? Is it not enough that the house
wife mast meet this daily rise in the
price of food with no increase in the
sum from which she must do it, with
out being told that she herself is to
blame for it7n If the shoemaker
sticks to his last and minds his own
business, perhaps we shall all come
out right in the end without the puerile
advice of Hill 81 Co.

ROADS AND STREETS.

During the county campaign tn
county roads and the streets of Bry
an received considerable attention
This is a hopeful sign, for it show
that public opinion demands improve
ment. Since the steam grader an(
roller was put to work much progress
has been made in improving the mair
thoroughfares of the county, but the
streets remain in statu quo This
however, is not the fault of the city
administration, because the available
means are insufficient to pay for such
system of grading as is necessary
and it is better to wait than to waste
what money there is in temporary
work
If the roads and streets were prop
erly graded and drained they would
be good except in seasons of protract-
ed rains, which do no, come often
enough to cause much inconvenience.
When clay-sand road is good it
beats a macadam road. which would
cost probably $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile The grades should be establish
ed by a competent engineer and it
would probably be better if the work
were done by contract, as in building
railroads. The cost ought not to ex-
coed $50 per mile.
Heretofore the roads and streets
have been worked in haphazard man.
ner, without any regular system. No
grades have been established and no
system of drainage or of bridging has
been provided for. The money that
has been spent has been largely vast
ed. Road making and maintenance,
ike all other kinds of work, should be
lone in a systematic, business-like
way.
