UNDAY IN THE AIR.

6Ia HE most formidable task vet presented for the advocates of a
Puritan observance of Sunday is the stopping of aerial
travel on that day. Aviation is as yet in its infancy, but
it is big with promise of a time in the near future when the aero
plane will be almost as much in common use as the motorcar.
Good folks in New York are now asking the Governor to make the
sheriff of Nassau county stop the aviation flights on Sunday. When
the automobile was in its infancy there were similar protests against
motoring on Sunday on the streets and roads. but the travel grew,
nevertheless. and today the highways on Sundays are full of auto
mobiles, while thousands are used in churchgoing. Protest has
ceased, as it did long ago against street ears and railroad trains
and other means for rational recreation for the people on their one
day of leisure in the week. But it is a tribute to the persistency
of the Puritan idea that in the face of so many discouraging expert
ences and defeats it comes up aggressiyely in opposition to every
new form of violation of the musty ordinances of a long past gen
Grafton, which are so universally disregarded in all centres of popu-
lation. The aeroplane, which is now a popular curiosity, will soon
be a public utility. As such it will be as freely used as the auto.
mobile. Nor could there be any restriction upon its use by any
narrow minded local regulations in the spirit of those who would
stop the aviation at Nassau.

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20. 1911.
a DELLBERATYYE LEGKSLATURE NEXT WEAK.

9TH HERE is every prospect now that the Legislature of 1872
will be a deHberative body, representative of and respon-
sie to the constituencies that shall have elected its mem
bers, and not a mere reflex of the dominant will of the States
executive. The plan of our national and State government pro
vides for three separate and distinct branches, namely, the execu-
tive, the legislative and the judicial. When each of these gov
ernmental branches keeps within its constitutional limits the proper
balance is preserved. When one encroaches upon another the proper
balance is destroyed. 1t is rare in history that the Legislative has
nsnrped the executive power, while. on the other hand, many of
the tragedies of history were brought about by executive usurpa
tion. One of the latest and worst instances is Russia, where the
will of the ear crushed the popular legislature and reduced it 10
abiect subserviency. There have been sharp conflicts between the
executive and legislative branches of our national government,
NOTABLY during the administration of President Roosevelt. In New
Jersey there has occurred only occasional friction, such as that
which was witnessed between Governor Fort and the Legislature
Not until last winter did the executive power at the State capitol
obtain such complete mastery of the legislative power as to draft
legislative leaders and compel the enactment of this legislation.
The people of the State were bewildered by the virtual obiterationI
of the representative character of the men they had elected to
the Legislature. They we're told that the necessity was reform.
They were given to understand that their Legislative representatives
could not be trusted, without the authority of a master, either to
honestly frame remedial laws or to pass them. And the legislators
were told that if they rebelled hey would be labeled and branded,
to be east out by the people. Since the legislative session, with its
extraordinary proceedings, and also since the effect of some of the
new legislation was felt, there has been much popular cogitation
The truth has been impressed on many minds that the results of the
subsection of the Legislature to the executive will are not as good
as was promised, and that a vicious precedent was set in our State
trary to the spirit of our institutions. That feeling was expressed
in the primary elections and it will have a more decided expression
at the polls in November. The Legislature of 1912 will be a de-
Lucrative body and it will exercise its constitutional power to make
the laws without humble Difference to the will of the executive as
to how that, duty is to be discharged.

Urges Swimming Lessons.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
With practically all the summer re-
sorts closed or closing for the season,
the annual reports of water fatalities
are coming in. AS usual, a large num-
Der of people have been drowned
during the year. Some of them lost
their lives through accidents TO boats.
while the majority would probably be
living still had they known how to
swim.
In the public schools of Vienna the
children are taught to swim as
s%crupulously as our children are taught
arithmetic and grammar. And swim
ming, in my opinion, is as essential an
asset to the pupil as the other two
fundamentals of his education. Every
child should be taught how TO swim.
Swimming should be inaugurated as a
part of the child's public school train
ing.
If the custom practised in Vienna
were in vogue here and children taught
how to swim there would be a decided
decrease In the annual report of
drownings. | think it is the duty of
the local authorities to see that every
child is taught how to swim. J.. F. T.

New Ballots an Expensive Riddle.

New Ballots nm Expensive Riddle.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Among the wonderful provisions of
the Geran law is that of sending out
sample ballots for the primaries, thou
sands of which. l understand, have
been returned because those for whom
they were intended could not be found.
Another needless expense to be footed
by the taxpayers, whose bills are kept
constantly on the jump because of just
sreh a law.
It's a pretty good joke, anyway, that
samples must be sent to would-be
voters. I'm a fairly intelligent citizen,
but while trying it on the dog" the
other day l promptly "balled up" the
samples. If a fairly intelligent citizen
is liable to do thai in the quietude of
his home, what will the less fairly in
telligent citizen do under the excite
ment of election?
l think it would be a good idea If
the election officers furnish every
would be voter with a bundle of erasers
before going into the booth. They will
need them. M. M

NBoUT MINI
(6CWoW

Edward S. Black, a well-known d.
vorce lawyer, said yesterday:
While rum is still in the lead as
the primary cause of trouble between
married couples, it appears to be a
tendency of the times for girls to
marry elderly gentlemen and the fire.
quent result is that they get into the
divorce courts. The reason is bviou
and it was sung about long G by
the poets who say that May and De-
cember should never wed. 1t is fair
to say that when rum will be wiped
out altogether, as / hope it will, that
this will be the most prolific source of
trouble. There are reasons for this
social phenomenon and hat is the
desire of poor or comparatively poor
girls to get wealthy or supposedly
wealthy husbands. But both parties
to the contract are soon disillusloned."
DR., Justus Coslau, chemist for the
Board of Works, had a real cure for
hay fever. The STAR wanted to know
about it, so a reporter was sent to
interview the chemist.
Yes, I have the real goods aid
DR.. Coslau, lapsing INTO slang in his
enthusiasm. Hay fever, and all the
sneezing and coughing that goes with
it, fall for it on the first dose.
Hang it, where is that draft coming
from, kerchoo! kerchiffl kerchuffl Hay
fever? Nonsense. that was merely a
draft"
But the chemists sneezing was so
genuine that the reporter caught the
c%ontagion.
When the excitement had subsidized.
DR.. Coslau suppressed a grin long
enough to give an opinion on h origin
of the disease. 1T think 1t is caused by
the first cool snap irritating the men,
branes in the throat and nostrils."
Yes, that's all right, but the mid
die of August, when hay fever starts,
is not noted for the severity of it's cold
snaps was the reply.
"Well,..' admitted the chemist, the
days may be warm. but the nights are
cool, the nights are cool"
Then he sneezed, and the reporter
sneezed, too.

OOTV NETHICALH is the deHcately expressed characterization
u of the practises of some lawyers that in the case of the
mere layman would be given a much harsher name. A
spade should be called a spade. Graft is graft, no matter how well
IT may be disguised or protected by the defects of the law. Unde
served reproach has been brought upon the legal profession by the
"unehical" doings of some of it's members, and in too many cases
of the kind it is the respect that honorable lawyers have for their
profession that disinchnes them to make public exhibition of a pro
fessional delinquent. In all stations in life there is this reluctance
to foul ones own nest" and it protects and even encourages that
which should be exposed and driven out.
