The Divided Fairgrounds Item.

Unfortunately the House Of Represent
auveS saw fit, in the course of lis con-
sideration of the District appropriation
bill. to restore the paragraph that had
been previously stricken out on point of
order appropriating $15,s7O wholly from
the Districts revenues for the payment
OF salaries in the maintenance of the
public Fairgrounds OF the city. Against
this item the point had been properly
raised that ii was contrary to existing
law, which requires division of all
municipal expenses in the District equal
ly between The local and federal funds
1t was hoped that the item might be re-
stored TO the bill, but with the objectiona-
bic clause. wholly out of the revenues
of the District of Columbia" eliminated.
AS tile bill now stands il is open 10
Inc same objections, as regards the play
grounds provisions, that were raised
against the now current law when IL was
before Congress last year. 1t provides

OH the lialf-and-half basis. appropriating
&.Uo for this purpose, and then sets
apart $3.50 of District money to nay
the salaries Of the people whose services
arc necessary for the proper upkeep o.
Inc grounds. There is no reason what
ever Tor this distinction between the cost
Of maintenance and the salary roll. The
personal services are as essential to the
successful use of the Fairgrounds and as
distinctly Of municipal character as the
equipment. They should, II provided a,
all, be paid for out of the same funds
that are drawn upon for the equipment.
The District looks TO the Senate To
correct this obvious injustice and TO in.

goes into conference. This communitv
would prefer to have no Fairgrounds

McCurdy's Flight.

McCurdy's fight yesterday from Key
West toward Havana was notable in the
record-breaking distance over sea COW
cred. even though the daring aviator
failed to reach his goal. Though he was
compelled to descend while ten miles
short of Havana, McCurdy had by COW
ering eighty miles established a new
mark for this form of aviation. 1t is
noteworthy that his descent was forced
by no fault OF his own. the supply of
lubricating oil having been exhausted
through a leak caused by an accidental
breakage of the apparatus. so that he
was burning out the bearings Of his
enpine Obviously, this defect can be
overcome. SO that in similar weather
conditions the flight from Key West
to Havana appears to be entirely feasible.
McCurdy thinks that he would have
made the whole distance but for
the fact that he was flying against the
breeze. and he estimates that he lost
fully twelve miles in driftway on this
account. Had he been flying in still air
or with the wind behind him he. would
doubtless have reached Havana. After
this demonstration it is to be expected
that flights between Key West and Ha-
vana will soon be rated as among the
accomplished facts Of aviation. The en-
terpriss is peculiarly fascinating. and

Booms and Platforms.

ported. y Cummins boom is suggested.
Somewhere in the west, we are told, a
man may DC found to represent that sec

republican prize. And the east, 1t is as
serted, may offer a candidate.
Well. this is interesting enough. Presi-
dental gossip is always interesting. It
is not essential that it be always per-
suasive. Sometimes it travels on its i'm
probability. Readers are set guessing as
10 the real object and meaning of a yarn.
They reject it's face value, but search for
something hidden.
Today Mr.. Taft appears to have the
call. Three things are III his favor. ID
lie is his party's leader. and is leading.

mand the support of both republican pro-
sressives and conservatives. Without
such cooperative support no republican
can be elected in 1912. OF all the cam
didates Mr.. Taft seems the likeliest to
receive this support.
And Yet, even with Mr.. Taft holding
this advantage. the next republican ma
tional convention should be a lively body.
The platform builders arc going to have
a difficult job. Not since 1896. when the
gold plank required such nice carpenter
