in fact may scorn them, but they dc
gladly accept business favors and they
do endeayor to so conduct public at
fairs that their own business inter
ests will be fostered and encouraged
thereby, whether others suffer or not
as a result.
The man who works for the com
munity should be a business man but
he ought not to be engaged in any
other business the furtherance OF
which will conflict with his duties
% the community. In fact he should
be one who would devote his entire
attention to promoting the public vel
fare and receive pay in proportion tc
his services and his ability.
Commission government with that
kind of foundation will be success
Any other must be a partial failure
at least because it leaves the way
vide open for grating, either direct
~ or indirectly. And the indirect
grating is by far the worse form
so far as the public welfare is con
cerned.-Yakima Republic.

Socialist Resolve

The Herald publishes the following
| resolution of the Aberdeen Socialists
by request:
We, the Socialist Party of Aber-
deem, Local No. |, in regular meeting
assembled, do hereby condemn the
action of the California and Indiana
state officials for kidnapping the Nc
Namara brothers and depriving them
| Of their constitutional rights, there
fore;
Be 1t Resolved, That we pledge our
moral, financial and, if necessary, our
physical support, to the end that the
accused parties get justice.
OF. course, the resolutions are bun
combe, pure and simple, otherwise
one might be tempted to ask, since
when did kidnapping alleged GRIMM
ais become offensive to socialists? 1t
might be recalled that the editor of
the official organ of that party public
~ posted large reward for the kid
mapping of a gentleman in Indiana
said to be wanted by the authorities
of Kentucky, without a voice of pro-
test from Aberdeen, in fact it was
understood when the editor of that
organ was punished for his offer that
the Socialist party stood for kidnap-
ping accused criminals as 'constitu-
tional right"
The pledging of all kinds of sup
port to the end that the accused
parties get JUSTICE,' will be endors-
ed by good citizenship everywhere, al
though the preamble to this resolu-
ton would appear as though justice
was the very thing dreaded.
Every proper thinking citizen de-
sires a fair. impartial trial for the
accused men, and, with the unlimited
financial support being rendered them,
there is no possible reason to doubt
that they will get even-handed justice.
If officers of the law made no arrests
until after conviction was positively
assured, there would be no safety of
person or property under the law. 1t
is but fair to withhold Judgment upon
those men until they have had a fair
trial, when it is to be hoped their in
nOcence will be shown.
But, no maudlin sentiment must be
permitted to obscure the horrible
crime of which they stand accused. A
crime that appalled, the nation, and
the blood of whose innocent victims
cries to the law for justice. The meth
cd of the arrest of these men may
have been irregular under the tech
nicalities of law, but it is difficult to
see where the prisoners have lost any
opportunity or right to prove their in
nocence of the monumental crime of
the age. Anyway, our socialist friends
are barred from complaints against
kidnapping.

Short Ballot Gaining Ground

The short ballot is one OF the means
by which American democracy is des-
tined to regain control of the gov,
ernment.
This ballot consists in greatly re-
ducing the number of elective Off
GERS of city, county or state. Gov
eminent by commission and the cleo
ton of a president who appoints a
cabinet and, through its members
hundreds OF thousands of public Off
Gals are examples of the short bal,
lot
1t is significant that the idea of
shortening the ballot has recently won
swift and great popularity. 1t is in
dorsed not merely by such experts in
government as Mr.. Roosevelt and such
students of political science as Gov
ernor Wilson, but by surprising num-
bers of private citizens. All believe
that reducing the number of elected
officials will contribute greatly to the
publication of politics and the effect
iveness of government.
Los Angeles last Saturday heard
Wilson of Jersey elucidate the pur-
pose and principle of the shortened
ballot. 1t is to concentrate the choice
Of the voters on a little group whom
they can watch and therefore con-
troll.
If" Governor Wilson argued. "ev
erybody put into office must be voted
for. the list will be so long that the
voter will be ignorant of the charact.
er, antecedents or abilities of two
thirds of the men. This ignorance is
the opportunity of the machine. II

They will be subservient tools. or
no serious obstacle to carrying out
the policies the machine desires.
If the ticket is reduced to
small number for a few conspicuous
Offices, it will be possible for every
body to know whom he is voting for
and to have an actual judgment on
the matter. If the few are held re-
sponsible for the appointment of the
rest, the people have a definite means
of control. This small group can be
watched, judged, assessed by what
they do from day to day. Real re-
virtual irresponsibility.

Something for Nothing

With communities as with nd.vidu
ais the attempt to gain by getting
something for nothing" is usually a
failure in the long run.
The one strong argument in favor
of the commission form Of city gov.
eminent is that those who are employ.
ed to do the work of the community
are adequately compensated for THEN
services, while the principal weakness
OF the usual form of city govern.
ment is that the men who do the leg.
islatlng are expected to do it for prac
tically nothing.
is it not better to pay $4,000 per
year for services of three of four
competent men to do the city's work
than 1t is to ask a dozen men to work
for Inadequate compensation and run
the risk OF grating to the extent of
10 times $4,000?
There are few men so imbued with
the love OF the public welfare that
they can be induced to neglect their
own business affairs in order to serve
the people, unless they are properly
paid for doing it. Occasionally such
are found but they are few. The ma
jority who seek these places where
there is not proper remuneration for
services rendered do so for the pur-
nose of fllrtherinp tbair ou,, b,,c;nocc

INSPECT GATES
TO CANAL LOCKS
Huge Steel Plates Ready for
Immediate Work.

Pittsburg, July 15.-Following the for
NAL inspection of the first of the giant
steel lock gates of the Panama Canal
by the engineers of the Isthmian COM
mission, members of the Engineers So
ciety of Western Pennsylvania to-day
visited the plant of the McClintic Mar
shall Construction Company at Rankin,
near Homestead, and viewed three COM
pleted gates or leaves" ffty-two to
eighty feet high, which, since their ac-
ceptance by the canal engineers, are to
be dismantled at once and shipped to
Panama for installation.
The contract Of the company with the
government calls for ninety-two gates
for the locks, ranging from fifty to ninety
feet, the total steel required by the
specifications being 5000 tons. The con-
tract price of the work. installed at
Panama, is S. 100000. The company has
until January, 1918, to complete the ship
ments. Each leaf must be inspected in
Pittsburg before shipment. Tie company
has installed its own erection plant at
Panama.
Each set of lock gates is composed Of
two parts, or leaves. each leaf being
Through the center they have maxi
mum thickness of about fourteen feet
The upper parts Of the. leaves will be
braeed by concrete filler when installed.
They will be pierced by manholes CIV
ing access to every part Of the struc-
ture. These manholes are large enough
to admit riveting machines and other
repair apparatus 10 the interior Of the
gates. The lower half Of each leaf is
composed Of a series of air chambers
separated by alright compartments.
These are sheathed over by heavy steel
plates running up to three inches f.
thickness. The lower air chambers were
open to-day and the visiting engineers
of the Pittsburg society wandered il
and out of them at will.
Castings, giant hinges, and other parts
in the installation will bring the total
tonnage of steel required for the new
work to $1,000 tons-the largest single
steel contract ever let in this country.

MAPS FOR AIR TRAVEL.
They VIII Be Essential ms Aero
planning Develops.


planning Develops.
From the Columbian.
The aerial committee of the ministry Of
works of France has suggested that every
civilized nation should Join in an inter-
national movement to create an aerial
map of the world upon a standard scale
in order that It may be possible for an
aviator flying in any part OF the world
accurately to Judge his position and dis
tance from various points, just as navl-
gators OF ocean-soing vessels are enabled
to do upon their charts.
It is a great surprise to the initiated
to see how uniform the surface of the
earth appears when viewed from a great
altitude. Although individual objects are
hard to identify, such things as rivers,
lakes and railways are easily recognized
by their contour, direction, or somo
slight individuality or characteristic
which can readily be shown upon a map.
especially II the maps are made or cor
rected by men who fly above the earth
and get an accurate and literal birds
eye view OF its surface. Objects which
seem to loom up with the greatest clear
ness to one standing on the surface of
the earth appear very different and quite
Insignificant when viewed from above;
while a patch of colored soil which
would not be noticed at all by a person
standing on the ground is a most valuable
landmark to the air sailor. Map cases
are fitted to the aviators seat, On tour
ing aeroplanes, where they can be readily
seen, and NJ. Pr!er, on his late journey
from London to Paris. had his route
clearly shown on a map which he carried
mounted IN a cleverly arranged map case,
inside Of which 1t could be unrolled, keep
ing his route continually before him as
he passed rapidly over his course. This
case was provided with a transparent
cover. which thoroughly protected it from
the wind, rain, and oil thrown OF by
the motor.
With q map, watch, compass, aneroid,
revolution counter, the air pilot Is thor
oughly equipped for navigating the at
mosphere and travelling as far as his
motor will take him without stopping.
When waterways are made available for
air travel, by perfecting the hydroaero-
plane, an ideal route will be offered to
the air traveller who desires to fly from
one place to another, for then q safe land
ing can be made at any moment. and
the dread OF q motor failure will no
longer be q cause Of terror to the in
trepid pilot who starts on a long jour-
ney. Besides, there will be no danger
Of losing his way.

PLOT OF REBELS :
ENDS In ARRESTS
Troops Ordered to Scene of
Revolt Against Madero.

Mexico City, July 15.-Alarming re-
ports from the city of san Luis Potosi
are arriving. 1t is alleged that a plot
to start a revolution against Madero
has been discovered and that more than
300 persons have been arrested. Several
prominent Mexicans in that region are
implicated. Great prominence is given to
the AFFAIR in Mexican circles.
The governor sent several companies
OF regular troops to Puebla to-day to
assist in maintaining order there until
Monday, so that he may make a thorough
investigation of the cause of the outbreak
last Wednesday. 1t is said that the
leaders of the party opposing Madero's
plans are to be arrested. 1t is said
three Germans and one German woman
were killed near Puebla on Friday.
The German consular office here. is in
vestigsting the report
Troops May Patrol Border.
The eyes of President Taft and his ad-
visers are turned again toward turbulent
Mexico. and If the conditions that have
recently developed between the federal
army and the forces of Madero should
continue TO grow worse 1t is not unlikely
that the army may be drawn up again
along the Mexican line. AS a result of
the fighting that has already occurred
between these forces in Puebla, II has
been decided that no further orders shall
be issued for the withdrawal of troops
from San Antonio or the Mexican bor-
der.
With several regiments already with
drawn from Galveston, San Diego. and
San Antonio, it Is realized that only the
nucleus OF an army division now remains
in the Southwest, and should the condi-
tions in Mexico grow alarming it would
most likely be necessary to return those
already withdrawn. 1t was said yes
terday, however, that there has been no
decision to return the troops thus far,
but that such a step may seem to be
necessary unless the forces Of Madero
and the federal troops cease their hos
tiIities in Puebla ana other sections of
Meyi1o.
