Cross Country Air Racing.

Cross Country Air Racing.
Present Indications are that the large
cash prizes offered by New York. Chi
cago and ST. Louis newspapers TO
winners Of aeroplane races between
Chicago and New York and st. Louis
and New York. or in the opposite di-
rectiOn If the air currents are more IA
vorable. will be pulled off" within a
few weeks. Most of the noted avia-
tors have entered formally for one
race or the other. Both Americans and
Europeans are included among the am
bilious and daring men who hope to
make both reputation and money by
winning one Of the cross country races.
There can be no doubt that. once the
races start. the events will attract
worldwide interest and will run the
thermometer Of enthusiasm up to the
boiling point.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that nc
serious accidents will mar these con-
tests among the air men. Already the
death toll of aviation is lamentably
large. The aeroplane. while 1t has ac-
complished wonders in the past year
or so. remains a dangerous toy. The
slightest negligence or indiscretf0n
upon the part of an aviator may be
fatal to him. Even the most careful
and the most skillful fiers are subject
to accidents which none of them can
foresee. Much has been done. but
much more must be done. before nero
planning can become measurably safe.
1t may be that somebody will make
the trips between the cities indicated.
But even though all the entries III
coed in finishing the air voyage with
out meeting their own finish 1t will
be quite awhile yet before the over
heud route between the Atlantic coast
and the middle west will put on regu-
lar passenger aeroplanes. The world
can afford to wait some years longer,
however. since 1t has waited 50 many
centuries, for a heavier than air ma.
chine that will fly.

u War Talk.

For several years certain persons In
the United States have exercised Them
selves in predicting IL terrible war
With Japan. Some of them have seen
it coming Immediately the war cloud
darkening the heavens Of the forty
eight states. the fiery breath Of the
war fame melting the SHOWS of Alaska
and the trampling hosts of the Nip
ponese desolating each of our island
possessions. Many Of the newspapers
have devoted columns Of space to the
advancing columns Of the imminent
invaders.
Now comes General Katsura. pre-
mier of Japan. eminent soldier and
statesman. the right hand mar of the
mikado. with the positive and un-
equivocal declaration that a war be-
tween his country and ours is fmpos-
sible. absurd and not to be thought Of
under the circumstances now existing.
He points out that Uncle Sam is the
father of modern Japan and the child
cannot turn against its parent. He
knows war. and he says war is bar
barous and that civilized nations
should work together for the extension
Of civilization rather than clash with
zach other in demOniacal slaughter and
ruthless destruction.
Indebtedness for wars past and prep
aration for wars possible have cost
and still are costing the people of
Japan and of the United States i'm
mense sums Of money. Premier Kat
sura expresses the highly sensible
opinion that a cessation of these heavy
drains upon national is in
dicated rather than their continuation
and increase. The most friendly rela-
tons exist between Washington and
Tokyo. according to all signs. Let us
not take to the woods. but stay at
home and keep the peace. Before cry
ing wolf. wole!!" wait till the VOLTS
bowling is heard.

Woman In he News.

A captiuus critic writes that iE a SIN
gle issue Of a big city newspaper he
read these captions: Girl Attacks
Passengers Woman Horsewhips a
Man." woman Advocates T%hrashing
For Men, woman Pummels a Man."
Girl Dogwhips a Youth" and WON
an Advocates Horsewhipping For
Men"
Whew! That certainly does sound
bad. but not so bad rs to warrant the
correspondents reIma"k that this sort
of thing makes me wonder whether
the ~forbearance Of American men has
any limit" He says such things occur
only in America. where women have Il
larger liberty and better treatment
than in any other country in the world.
Well. what of it? Every man who is a
gentleman is glad and proud that
American women are better treated
than the women of any other country.
That is one of the signs and likewise
one of the causes of our superior CIV
ilization. 1t indicates that the men Of
America are more highly civilized than
those of other countries-another rea-
son for congratulatfon.
Suppose some few women do pun
mel men. advocate dogwhipping for
them and suggest other things of that
sort. Let us take things by and large
and we shall find that in the main the
American woman is ladylike aud does
not seek to abuse her larger liberty.
And If we cast our eyes about US and
keep our ears open to what is going
on in this part Of the world we shall
discover that the majority of the mil
lions Of American women-a. majority
so big that the minority is insignificant
are gentle and generous and good.
Some men ought to be dogwhipped
anyway. and. If their brother men won't
do the job it's properly up to the
ladies.

Cheer In Census Returns.

Cheer In Census Returns.
Partial figures published by the CEN
sus bureau indicate that the black to
the farm movement. about which so
much has been said in recen years. is
not altogether imaginary. According
to these figures. there seems to be a
real. movement back to the farm. AS
one correspondent from Washington
puts it. it appears that there is lust
a little eddying from the cities TO the
farm or that fewer farm boys are re-
spending to the call of the city" Cen
sus reports show a decrease in the
population of twelve cities in the east
ern half of the United States. each of
which gained in population during the
ten years from 1890 to 1900. On the
other hand. increases are shown in
many southern and western cities.
This indicates a trend Of population
away from the crowded eastern cen
tiers.

score Of years ago. The telephone. the
trolley. the rural mail delivery. i'm
proved implements aud more scientific
methods of agriculture have made the
farm a more desirable place of resi-
dence and have rendered farming a
more profitable business. Many aban-
doned farms in the older sections Of
the country have been ~reoccupied.
Just what the complete census returns
will show rs to the tendency to stay
on the farm or to go back to 1t is a
matter Of conjecture at present. but
the early reports are such as to cheer
the hearts Of those who see in an in
~creasing farm population the prosper
ity of the towns and cities and Of the
nation itself. q

When q Woman VIII.

The recen completion OF q trip
around the world IN an automobile BY
Mrs. Harriet Clark Fisher Of New Jer-
sey is another illustration Of the old
adage to the effect that when a woman
will she will and when she won't she
won't. Mrs. Fisher did not undertake
this remarkable journey merely to
make or break a record. perform a
stunt" or get her name in the news
papers. She did it for her health. She
is said to be Il millionaire manufac-
turer, and she could afford wen the
expenses Of running Il touring car
where roads are unknown. So some
thing more than Il year ago Mrs.
Fisher and her nephew. who is her
secretary and serves as chauffeur. be-
gan the globe girdling o IL in the
horseless carriage.
There were friends who strongly
urged the woman not to attempt the
journey. she said she believed 1t would
do her good and she was going. Over
in India the British military officers,
almost weeping in their sOlicitous zeal
TOR her welfare. impI"red her not to
undertake the journey from Calcutta
to Bombay. declaring that there were
practically no roads. that IN autolno-
bile never had been sent through that
fiercely hot land and that various per-
lis would beset a woman on such a
trip. Mrs. Fisher. with true American
pluck. thanked the officers and said to
her secretary. Drive on. Harold"
Hairbreadth 'srai;es were experienced.
but the American woman got through
all right. her health improved. her
knowledge Of the world immensely
augmented and her self confidence
indicated and no doubt strengthened.
The American wOman is becoming
known throughout the world for her
pluck and endurance and her lack of
the ,inaidity and fear which obsess and
beset millions of male and female o
tails. Mrs. Fisher deserves not Il little
slice of the praise due to her sex for
daring to do what neither man o
woman has attempted heretofore.

Thirty years ago Charles A: Danas''
the famous editor Of the New York
Sun. refused to believe that Thomas
A. Edison had invented a machine that
stored up the human voice and gave 1t
forth ut will. The reporters whom he
sent to Investigate" the apparently
absurd claim of the inventor had a
difficult time in inducing Mr.. Dana to
print the story they wrote. The pres
ent writer used to know an old school
master who in his earlier days was
dismissed from his position because
he told his pupils that they would live
to see the day when d message could

reach the Pacific coast at about . a. N.

saw the Morse telegraph. But even
that pioneer in prophecy probably
would have regarded as insane any
person who had dared tell him that in
1910 an alleged murderer fleeing from
England would be captured at sea
through the agency of etheric mes
sages sent to shore without the use Of
any material connection such as wires.
The invisible detective promises to
perform many such feats in the fu-
