A DEFEAT OF KIDNAPPING

A very profound question in morals
and sentiment was that spresented to
the heads of two Italian families
Whose children were kidnapped by
the two persons of that race who were
sentenced in New York to terms of
Imprisonment that are practically
for life. The same question has been
thrust upon more prominent people
and answered by them in a different
way.
The Italians were subject to the
demand for ransom with the usual
threats. They could have paid the
money and got their children back
safe, with the result of encouraging a
repetition of the crime either on
themselves or others. Or they could
inform the police and aid them in run
ming down the kidnapers at the haz-
card of harm to their children and as
sassination to themselves. They took
the latter course. The kidnapers
were detected and arrested and sen
fenced to indeterminate sentences
from twenty-five to forty-nine years.
Many Italians, and in some cases
rich Americans, have submitted to the
Matchmaking to get their children
back. 1t is difficult to blame them Sc
verely for doing so. But it is to be
said that the opposite course taken
by. the Longo and Rizzo families in
New York has increased the safety
OF children. When it is established
that blacknail cannot be exorted in
that way. and that the penitentiary is
much more probable, the kidnapping
of children for ransom will cease.

FATE OF HOXSEY AND :MOIsANT

Saturday added Hoxsey and Moisant
to. the neurology of aviation for 1910,
making thirty-four daring airmen
who fell to death during the year.
When it is considered that their num-
bers all told are so few, the toll Of
death is simply appalling.
The public is coming to recognize
that, as at present carried on, there
is something radically wrong in the
mechanism Of the aeroplane as a
vehical Of sport. if not in every capa-
city to which it has been put. 1t is
q marvel Of invention, and something
AAs been done toward perfecting it's
bird-like power Of locomotion. But
has it been in the right direction?
II its commercial possibilities are
what the designers claim for it, why
Do they devote their energies solely
to improving its racing qualities?
No machine yet exhibited in Ameri-
ca has shown that steadiness and sta
bility were more more than secondary
importance in the mind of the con-
structor. Speed and maneuvering are
the chief requisites in q racing mach
inc. and success has crowned the
special efforts made by the designers
to outrival each other in these par
ticulars. Had each and every part OF
the machine been developed on the
same scale, doubtless the tendency OF
the later models to turn turtle or dart
hlther and thtther would have been
pbviated.

protection from populace which so
sorely needs It," Persians object to
this misrepresentation Of fact.
Try to Improve Conditions
AS regards the British ultimatum,
the Persian cabinet have not confined
themselves to mere words. They have
made every effort to improve the con-
dition Of the southern routes. Nizam-
es-Sultaneh, a great national figure.
has been appointed governor general
for Ears. This is an excellent choice
as an administrator of the great
southern province. He owns vast ter
ritories alongt he Bushire-Shiraz
route, where a considerable number
Of the valiant Hat tribes are his fol-
lowers and personal supporters. He
has planned to send many hhorsemen
from these tribes to assist the regu-
lar newly organized road guards for
insuring the perfect security of the
roads. Those who are aware of this
governor-elect's patriotism and ener-
gy already look upon the improve
ment Of the southern roads as an &C
complished fact.
A special committee has been ap-
pointedby the Persian mejliss to see
to the immediate carrying out of the
reforms in the south and supervise
the maintenance of order. 1t already
has approved Of the commissioning OF
two Of the European Officers in the
service of the government at Teheran
in company with three experienced
Persian officers, to guard the roads
in the south.
The mejliss has also voted to
promptly engage foreign advisors 70,
the other departments.
Employ American Experts
The most important of these, how.
ever, are the seven financial experts
| who are being engaged fro mthe Unit
ed States. Persia has already applied
to the American government to rec
commend such experts for the Per-
sian service from the New York fin
ancial circles. The significance OF
this step cannot be overestimated
when one thinks of the great oppor-
tunities that may be opened for AM
erican investors in the near future
Moreover the work of these advisers
will carry into the remotest parts OF
Persia the thoroughness and bust
nesslike management of affairs for
which America is famous in the shah's
land. On the whole, this step may
be taken as marking new era OF
progress and prosperity in an ancient
land whose mineral resources and in
dustrial possibilities are limitless.
Besides it's proximity to Irak-Ar-
able, Persia is the great storehouse to
furnish food and supplies to the mil
lions Of India by the way of the Per.
sian Gulf
Favored by the god methods which
these American advisers will intro
duce into the financial system, Persia
can in few years outgrow the pow
erty and humiliation which she has
inherited from the corrupt rule of the
old regime and. has the material for
a great future, once these reforms are
instituted. Her population is said to
be about 100000 100000 of which
are valiant nomadic tribes. These
can form the backbone for an efficient
army to preserve order and discipline
within its borders. These tribes are
in full accord with the new regime
and have already elected their dep.
uties at the national parliament.

is no mystery or guess work about
it. the audience being taken into the

Miss Victorson brings convincing
simplicity and sincerity to the title
role, both when she is merely the
governess and when she afterwards
becomes the wife of the son of the
house. While rightly termed a drama
there are many bits Of comedy in
This Woman and This Man., and
Miss victorson brings out the lights
and shadows with artistic verify; in
fact her performance assures her an
other triumph to her professional
standing. The actors who play the
other parts have been carefully Sc
lected and the public may be assured
of brilliant performance on Monday
night.

ing end Of the man was too nearly
severed to permit him to tell his name

also reported on some cases which
were receiving medical attention.

six DRINKS and one Sunday violation
of the saloon closing law during De-
cember-and it was Christmas time
