FLYING MACHINE LITERATURE.

Just now there is a great run on
the national library for flying mach
inc literature. There is a demand for
all books that have anything to say
about aerial navigation.

Owen Woods insists also that
he has all he can attend to in the
department of public works and
he has paid no attention to other
things. But he takes no respon-
sibility for present conditions.
"It's up to the police. They

Commissioners Freeland, Law
son and Woods refused to be
tarred with the stick that has
marked l.. w. Roys. Each of
them disavows any responsibility
for the present conditions in this
city wherein the young and nn-
wary are nightly plunging down
a creased toboggan slide to their
undoing.
The position of Commissioner
Freeland is well known. He vot-
ed against the confirmation of
the present chief of police for
fear what has occurred would
happen. He never was in favor
of the wide open town with un-
restricted vice.
"Of course 1t Is a delicate mat
ter for me to criticise another de-
partmentbut would do anything

missioner to prevent the young

another problem is presented to
know what to do with them.

the policy that demands protec-
tion for American industries just
to the extent of the difference in
the cost of production here and

clares he expects to fight for and

START ACROSS ATLANTIC in AN AIRStiI
INSURGENCY TO Be
CRY Of WARbURTON

Stanton Warburton has COM
pleted his first swing around the
circle of counties in this cong gres-
sional district and all indications
point to his election and the plac-
ing of another insurgent in the
house of representatives at Wash
ington to take the place of a Joe
Cannon stand-patter.
Warburton is being accorded a
great reception. The campaign
of the Times in his behalf which
resulted in his complete victory
over the stand-pat forces in the
primaries gave him a prestige in
the campaign that is growing
with each week and the rank and
file of the party that was misled
into the support of the regular"
policy is Fastening to get on the
insurgent band wagon.
Mr.. Warburton is making a
telling campaign. He is giving
some genuine education on the
tariff question, showing that the
time is ripe for scientific investi-
cation by a tariff board on this
question and then legislation in
line with the information secured
by this commission.
