VIOLATED THE LAW.

Aviator Atwood broke the law of
the state of Connecticut by flying over
it's domains without license. 1t has
been broken several times before.
First of the states to enact such leg
islation, Connecticut has made a wise
law, since an aviator in the air en-
dangers all on the ground beneath
him. 1t is not probable that Mr.. At
wood or his fellow offenders will be
prosecuted. We are not taking the
business of aviation as seriously as we
shall when it becomes general. Mean
while one is perhaps justified in Won
dering just how the law can be en-
forced Suppose Mr.. Atwood had not
stopped at New London and suppose
flights of this nature had become too
common to attract wide newspaper
notice Just how could the police ar
rest man $4,000 feet. in the air or
even mark him for future identifica-
ton Waterbury American.
The chow" of The American is well
presented How could the state con-
troll the cerulean lanes through which
airshfps are speeding at the rate of
a mile a minute? The object of the
law is not to prosecute men who do
no damage. but to form basis upon
which the state can act if the aviator
does damage. But should the aviator
fall and do great damage to private
property and at the same time lose
his life. what action will then be taken
to reimburse injured people or injured
property? Connecticut has made a
start along high lines of law, the way
has not been blazed yet, and the meth
DDS of procedure are not so clear.
Aviator Atwood might be prosecuted
for not procuring a license to fly over
Connecticut territory. but such action
under the circumstances would look
more like persecution than prosecu-
ton.

No further proof of the correctness
of the above. dear editor and readers,
is needed. than for the writer to quote
from last Saturdays Bulletin, from
The Man Who Talks:
.-Old age is not a matter of years as
much as d physical condition. You
and [ have seen pFematurely old pei
sons who at 80 looked as wrinkled and
forlorn as others at 30; and we have
known men of 10 who were as active
and lI-preserved as men of so; and
men of a hundred who were more
erect. Intellectual and active than
others at I5. 1t is the age of the heart
that tells upon the form and face of
man; and it is the power of the mind
which makes men of four score show
naught of age except its wisdom. Jer-
rold wrote: How beautiful can time
with goodness make an old man look. y
beautified. although they are rare. 1t
is well to take no thought of time, but
to lend the mind to those sentiments
which Richter says makes gray hairs
silver over the evening of life as the
rays of the moon give a charming
touch to the shades of evening"

DISTRICT JUDGES Do
NOT RECEIVE ANY
EXPENSE CASH
New Law Declared Unconsti.
tutional Under Attorney
Generals Ruling

District court judges of the state,
under a ruling of Attorney General
Miller, will not receive travelling ex-
penses when engaged in wor koutside
Of their W district. The law pass
ed by the last legislature. he says, is
unconstitutional, differences between
the provisions of the measure, as ex-
pressed in the body, and those en-
pressed in the title, are responsible.
When several OF the district judges
filed their bills with the state audi
tor, he made a request OF the attorney
general for a ruling in the matter.
1t appears that when the bill was
originally introduced in the legisla-
ture it made provision for travelling
expenses OF the judges when per-
forming duties for other judges out
side of their own districts. Some
place in its course through the as
sembly it was made to provide for
expenses outside OF the county i'll
which the judge resided. but no
change was made in the title.
Under the ruling that has been
made there will be no payment by
the attorney general of expenses that
have been filed with the state audi
tor already.

REV STEVENS ENTERS
MISSION WORK N
BLACK HILLS
Former Grand Forks Pastor
Quits Rich Congregation
Says Its Duty

Rev. A. G. Stevens, formerly mas.
70! ot the First Methodist church in
this city. has accepted a new field
OF work that will pay him but half
the salary that he received an pastor
OF the First Methodist church of ST..
faul, but which, az he terms It will
allow for more vigorous and more
constructive work. The at. Pan, nias
psIcn OF Thursday evening says:
Kew. Alexander G. Stevens, for six
years pastor Of the First Methodist
onurcn. Victoria street and Portland
avenue, has resigned as leader Of one
OF the wealthiest congregations in the
city to carry the gospel to the mission
nelds Of South Dakota.
Bishop Robert Mcintyre has an
pointed DR.. Stevens general superin-
tendent OF missions In the Black Hills
conference Of South Dakota where he
WILL have charge of thirty-two mis-
sions. The Black Hills work IL con
sidered one of the most important of
Inc domestic mission fields in the
Methodist conference.

Last January MI. Stevens ANNOUNCE
eo MS probable severance from the
First church here. At that time he
began to feel that his duty called him
into fields where the work is o
strenuous. He had built up his
church from small beginnings until
It now has a property worth $780,
O00 and a membership roll of more
than 600. He felt that duty called
MIN to work in some community not
quite SO prosperous as the Hill dis
trict. At the time he was persuaded
to remain here, but now his inclina-
ton for strenuous work has called
him into the mission field.
Salary Nearly Cut in Two
His salary in the new field will
be Just q triae more than one-half
the $4,000 that he now receives from
the First Methodist church and he
will have hard work before him,
where energy will count in the build

DR.. Stevens work in the First

his personality make the members re-
greet his departure exceedingly. He
will live at Rapid City, 8. D., but

READY TO PUT BIG
FLIGHTS ON FOR.
TWO DAYS
Mcaoey viii Show the Grand
Forks Crowds More About
the Art Of Awaiting

Aviator Thomas McGoey made six
separate flights at the fair grounds on
Thursday for the purpose Of getting
his machine in perfect working order
Tor the flights to be made at the aero
plane matinees on Saturday and Sum
day.
His work on Thursday was the best
that he has yet done in this city and
n flight In particular was equal
to any of the work in. the aviation
line ever done in the state Of North
Dakota. After making several trial
trips each Of about five minutes du-
ration, Mccoy had the new eight
cylinder Hall-Scott engine hitting
perfectly and with the propeller re-
volving at a speed Of about 1900
revolutions a minute, he o above
the fair buildings, circled over River
side park and climbed to an altitude
of 1000 feet. At that height he swept
northeastward, attaining q speed of
about seventy-flve miles an hour. Aft
er completing three circles, Mccoy
did tho spiral glide at the fair grounds
making this In magnificent style. :
After completing this trip the day
and conditions were so perfect. that
Mccoy made still another fight,
crossing the Red river and making q
trip into Minnesota. Those who
have followed the local mans work
this season and who witnessed the
flights on Thursday state that they
were the best he has yet made.
The new engine is working per-
fectly and makes all of the difference
imaginable in the working of the air
craft. according to Mccoy. The
power is the necessary thing and the
local aviator he's it now. The matt
nee on Saturday will be held at 4
o'clock and on Sunday afternoon at
3 o'clock. A large number of tickets
have already been sold and with
fair weather. the local people may
expect to see something out Of the
ordinary.
