tons Those who were looking on
sensed as much by the way he said II
as by what he said that he wanted TO
come down. The owner managed 10
calm the runaway, and the Governor
elect went home without reporting what
his opinion was of the future OF aero

The incident serves to raise the ques-
ton of the probable part the aeroplane
will play in crime Everything was
pleasant in the episode in Texas; that
is. the Governor elect was not inten-
tionally kidnapped. But it requires no
violent activity on the part of the mag
nation to conceive that flying ma
chine might be effectively used by kid
nappers or by bank robbers or train
wreckers.
Charles X. Hamilton did little scout

have been many opinions expressed by
lawyers and insurance agents, stock
brokers and hotel proprietors at aero
nautic clubs as to the probable value of
the aeropane in time of war, and at this

perts have been quoted, and they have
seldom agreed except in the matter OF

Chief among many interesting ques-

This resolution, coming as It did at
a time when the Canadian reciprocity
agreement was pending before both
the legislature at Washington and the
dominion parliament at Ottawa, Can
ada, raised a storm of protest among
English citizens. In fact so strong
was the pressure brought to bear upon
the ministry Of South Africa by the
home government that the governor
general, Lord Gladstone, submitted
letter recalling this section OF the
tentative resolutions for discussion be-
fore the imperial conference, stating
that he had been advised by his min.

debate upon trade preference, but
