The success Of Harry N. At
wood in making great cross
country flight with no other set
backs than those that would be
incident to an auto trip-the oc-
casional exhaustion of fuels
encouraging. 1t shows that the
reasonable use Of the aeroplane
is assured, says the Minneapolis
journal. 1t will eventually be
about as safe to go from one
town to another in an aerOplane
as in an auto. But it is as un-
safe to try to drive splrals thru
the air as it is to try to run an
auto without a road. AutOmob-
ling had to be stripped Of the
spirit Of adventure. 'The aero
plane is about due to have the
craZiness Of meets subtracted,
when it will be discovered that
an immense distance has been
Travelled in perfecting machine
which under favorable conditions
will enable man to make fifty
or sixty miles an hour through
the air with less danger than
the same number Of miles per
hour by any other mode OF con-
veyance. When one observes the
.,wood flight and remembe'
that it was only about four
years ago that one OF the
Wrights, after careful prepara-
ton and cautious selection OF
weather, made the remarkable
flight of ten miles cross country
near Washington with 4 turn at
Fort Meyer, ones sees what won
derful progress has been made III
the art of flying.
Nor is it necessary to credit
much of the progress to specta-
cular fliers. 1t is true they have
demonstrated that spirals can
be made, but they have also de-
monstrated at considerable cost
of life that spirals ought not to
be made. That they were not
needed was known before any
were made. The only thing the
spectacular fliers have done is to
show how an aeroplane deprived
of it's engine power may be made
to glide to the earth. This is a
most valuable addition to the
knowledge of flying.

EXPLAINING THE WAY BILL.
Also the Bill of Lading Which Is an
Entirely Different Thing.

The way bill and the bill of lading
are the two documents upon which

the check does in bank accounts It

dence that the transaction has been
recorded.
Each waybill must be numbered
by the agent who issues it. THESE
numbers generally run consecutive

Der one. If a car load of freight is
loaded at point where there are no
track scales the estimated weight is
inserted by the forwarding agent |
The car is then weighed at the first |
weighing point and the actual gross, |
tare and net weights are entered
The gross weight is that of the |
car and contents as shown by the |
track scales, the tare is the weight |
of the car, which is stenciled on a |
lower corner of the outside of the
car, and the net weight the differ |

The seventh annual banquet Of the

held lest evening in the Harrison Town
Hall. afforded Governor Wilson an OPP
p~ortunity to defend the Geran bill
In his defense the Governor particu-
larized only to the extent of showing
the need for better election officers.
With reference to the many other fea-
lures OF the bill he dealt in generali-
ties only.
Speaking of the purposes Of the bill
the Governor said: ct puts every
thing into the primaries: it makes II
the right of the people OF this State
to get directly at the choice Of the
persons who r going to represent
them in every public function: and
want to say that 1 am for that with
every ounce of force that is in me.
Let no man Oppose this thing. unless
he Is willing to oppose It in public and
for reasons"
The Governor made no effort to
reconcile his assertion hat the bill
puts everything into the primaries
with the actual provisions Of the
measure. The Geran measure Is large
lv opposed because of provisions upon
which the Governor was silent. The pro-
muleation OF platforms. the appoint
ment OF state committees and of presi-

functions are not put into the pri-
maries." They are taken from the
