Recipes From Northern Europe.
Each country has its characteristic

Aviation ThrilIs.


This happened on the last day Of the
year In a New York newspaper Office.
The telegraph editor had just sung
out, "Moisant is killed in a fall from
his monoplane" .T6o bad,' comment
ed the managing editor, but Moissant
was too reckless" Sitting near by was
q third member of the staff who had
witnessed some of the daredevil avia-
tors in their thrill flights. YES" he
remarked quietly. "and Hoxsey will be
the next victim"
Less than Eve hours later. on the
same day, before dark, Hoxsey was
killed by the falling Of his aeroplane.
The sudden deaths Of Americas two
most noted aviators occurred but six
hours though thousands Of miles
apart. New Orleans and Los Angeles
each sem a shudder throughout the
world that day.
It is held, and not without good
ground, that both John B. Moisant and
Arch Hoxsey will be remembered as
martyrs to the new science or art OF
aviation. Very well. Let us give them
their due as brave fellows, young men
who apparently were not afraid OF
anything save failure in their chosen
occupations. But why did they enter
upon such extra hazardous stunts as
they were attempting when they We're
dashed to death? The thrill demand
ing public is largely to blame.
Henri Farman, over in France. is a
noted fier and a frequent prize Win
ner. He has made a splendid record
the past year. but he is a careful f1ier.
who never does fancy stunts. and in
consequence his body is whole and he
has had no accidents. Some of our
American aviators might take a IL
from Farman to their profit. If avia-
ton is to be developed into something
worth while the aviators must strive
to demonstrate the speed and straight
fight qualities of the machine rather
than the spiral dips, the pigeon wings
and the figure eights cut by some of
them.

10 End Bribery at the poll..

10 End Bribery at the Polls.
The stupendous number of indict
ments for buying and selling of votes
In Adams county. O., only reveals q
situation that those who are informed
as to political conditions know to exist
in many parts Of the country. In the
81 Of Adams county more than 1000
indictments alrendy have been re-
turned. and 100 voters have entered the
plea Of guilty. II is estimated that
fully 1000 more will he indicted, max
ing a total Of at least 5000. In 1908
the total vote for president in Adams
county was only IL trifie more than
$500. According to this showing. near
iy one-half of the voters have been
corrupted.
Only Il few of those arraigned have
denied their guilt. Two hundred and
fifty have gone into court and con-
fessed before indictments were re-
turned. Among those %confessing have
been men of wealth and standing.
The penalties inflicted by the court
have consisted of fines equivalent to
the amount received for votes ut the
last election plus n suspended Jail SEN
tence and Acknowledgement for five
years.
1t is Il crusade that should be taken
up in every part Of the land. Vote
lsuying and selling is the petty larceny
of bribery. 1t is the broad base Of the
pyramid of political corruption on
which all other forms depend. 1t is a
menace to the life Of the republic it.
self, perhaps the gravest menace we
have encountered. 1t is char.
liable to believe that the system has
grown up without those involved real
izing the .enormity of the offense. In
its last analysis the buying or selling
of votes is nothing less than treason to
the republic. The crime differs in de-
gree. but not in kind, from that of the
nan who sells his country on the field
Of battle.
Long life to Judge A. q. Blair of
Adams county. O., the man who is
conducting the crusade, and may his
kind of judge multiply throughout the
republic! j. a. EDGERTON.
