The aeroplanc has already been used
with official sanction in the mail service
During the meet at Nassau boulevard
outside New York the mail was carried
regularly from the aviation field to Mn

Hitchcock himself took one ride over this
particular star route and expressed great
interest in the adaptability of the aero
plane for mail service.
1t has been generally admitted by avia-

plane would be in carrying small con

The rebellion began in Hanghow.
and when the imperial troops retooll
the city they set it on fire. and n
strip two miles long and half mile
wide was burned out Of the heart
of the city. Many citizens are but
chered. Both sides are careful for
the safety of all foreigners, so that
any harm they may suffer will be
only an incident of war.
The object of the revolution is to
overthrow the Mancbus, who have
ruled China for nearly 800 years.
They are Tartars who invaded the
country from their home in the
north, conquered the Chinese and
have ruled the nation ever since.
The form of government is an abso-
lutte monarchy. These foreigners
required the Chinese to save their
heads, leaving only the qeue as a
badge Of their subsection. There
are only two and a half or three
millions of the Manchus, while there
are over four hundred millions of
the Chinese. All the officers of any
Importance are held by the Man
chus. Graft and oppression is the
rule. The effect Of this has been
to destroy all patriotism among
the Chinese. But the coming of the
missionaries among them has given
them a vision Of the outside world
and knowledge of their own posi-
bilities. Until within the last 10
years foreigners were not allowed
TO enter China. Little by little ner
ports have been opened and the peo-
pie have learned of western civil
cation. For the last ten years the
people have been preparing for this
revolution. Through the work of
labor unions called "gills" an or

Resolutions commencing a CLASH
fled tax instead of the uniform tax,
State aid and convict labor for road
building in Kentucky. and a larger
appropriation for the State Fair
were adopted at the closing session
Of the Greater Kentucky Conven-
ton at Louisville this week. We
believe that the true solution of the
good roads problem for Kentucky is
to be found in working convicts on
the roads. This is the plan that
is followed in any state and has
proven the right way to build up IA
splendid system of highways when
ever tried. 1t also abolishes the
competition of priso-made goods
against free labor. Let's try it.
