Island One Of the particular nuisances

Island. One OF the particular nuisances
from which the public had suffered was
the trick OF young men and boys scram-
bling through the windows Of the cars
and sprawling over those who had al
ready gained entrance, roughly handling
them if they objected Signs had been
conspicuously posted in the cars and the
stations warning all that window climb
ers would be arrested. The signs were.
as in other cases. in English, and 1t was
noteworthy that a large percentage of
those arrested for this offense Sunday
and Monday were foreigners who could
not read the language.
Just how long it would take to Ameri-
canize the New York crowds, provided
no other foreigners were admitted, is an
interesting speculation. The difficulty is
that fast as the schools wear off the
alien element of the newcomers others
take their places. and there always re-
mains q large residuum Of untaught and,
ethnologically speaking, unabsorbed for
eigners This makes administration diff
ficult. not only in maintaining order, but
in enforcing sanitary regulations One
of the greatest evils in the big city to-
day is the unresponsiveness of nearly
million people to the regulations which
make for health and safety as well as
for peace and order.

Higher in the Air.

Higher and higher go the airplanes
in an effort to establish new altitude
records Yesterday at st. Malo Garros
made the astounding height of 1916
feet. approximately 200 feet higher
than the previous record held by
Beachey. This Is a fraction over &c
miles. a truly remarkable height con-
sidering all the requirements of the
aviator in a machine that must be kept
constantly in motion and that will car
ry only a limited quantity of fuel
Usually high flying is limited by the
gasoline capacity. the aviator ascending
until his tank is empty and then vol
planning to the earth. II is to the ex-
pert navigator of the air as easy to
come down by gravity as under power,
and consequently there is no particu-
lar risk in descent with empty tanks
In addition to the question Of fuel sup
ply are, OF course, to be considered
the nerve and endurance OF the aviator.
A high flight Of this character keeps
the operator on the keenest strain.
Sometimes he suffers intensely from
the cold. and aspirants for height
records have returned to earth almost
frozen 1t is a marvel that they can
manage to operate their levers in such
circumstances.
High flying is not particularly in
structive form OF aviation. 1t does not
advance the art except as it may fur
nish the severest of tests for the appara
tus. 1t is remarkable fact however,
that there have been no fatalities in
the course of the flying for height
records. Almost all of the tragedies
OF aviation have been the result OF
falls from relatively low attitudes,
when the aviators were simply doing
stunts or engaged in straight-away
flying Yesterday at Chicago a student
flyer fell to his death from only a few
score of feet above the practice field.
In point OF fact, it makes no practical
difference in the result whether a man
falls from fifty or 10000 feet. In some
circumstances. indeed, the higher he is
when his apparatus balks the better

Cincinnati Mosquitoes.
From the Cincinnati Times Star.

Fee, fl, TO, fun, I smell the blood Of
an Englis hman," Did it ever strike you
that that or something like that, is the
burden of the song that the excruciating
falsetto of the mosquito huns into your
tired ears these August nights? Not that
the mosquito shows any preference for
Englishmen, other nationalities suit him
quite as we'll He displays no race preju-
dice, even though some human flesh may
appear to him more succulent than others.
Unhappy is the mortal who gains the
mosquitoes attentive regard! They say
that the mosquito is bound TO depart from
our vicinity before long, not to return
until the coming Of another season. He
cannot go too soon He has stayed too
long az it is. He has caused US loss of
sleep that cannot be made UP in weeks.
He has been responsible for more pro-

brands, than would ordinarily be spilled
in six months. AS all this is of annual
occurrence we ought to be used to it, but

The Hobo Convention.

Let not the hoboes be discouraged.
What if the attendance at the ma
tional convention has been disappointing?
What if divisions have arisen as to pol
icies and even as to the meaning or the
word by which the brethren are known!
Their fate Is the common fate or all INTO
each movement for the common veal
some trouble must fall. Some steps must
be hard and stormy. If there were no
difficulties In the way there would be no
development of resources.
Take capital 1t has its troubles. 1t
organizes for progress and protection.
But it has hard row to hoe. 1t is not
always certain of it's interests. or what
may be done to forward them. At ma
tional convention of manufacturers held
several years ago it was seriously pro-
posed that the tariff question be taken
out of the hands of Congress and given
into the hands of commission. At the
time nobody seemed to know that such
a thing would be impossible. At any rate
the proposition carried, and the conven-
ton was quoted for It,
Take labor. 1t organizes for progress
and protection and has done much val
liable work for itself. But at its con-
policies are accomplishing, and what new
ones should be inaugurated. The leaders
have warm discussions. and out of them
grow many important suggestions in la
boris behalf. General agreement as to
details might produce stagnat1on.

uct of labor, and labor, which is en-
ployed by capital have internal differ
ences which in the end rebound to their
benefit and the public benefit, why should

couraged when Weary Willie and

But ninety and nine of his old associates
stick to their CRIME and trudge on in the
familiar paths. They aim at nothing
and get nowhere
If all such men could be redeemed and
converted into capable and contented
producers it would be blessing to them,

The Headline Language.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

No careful observer of linguistic
things who is also a reader OF news
papers has failed to note that the Eng
liSh language, as used in the Un1teo
States, is gradually but surely dividing
into two separate and distinct branches
ordinary English and headline
English Headline English is distin
guished from ordinary or king 8 English
first by its supreme contempt for 1t
and secondly, by it's fondness for
strong monosyllabic words that fit into
the column nicely and that are perfect
ly willing to have their meaning twist
ed in any desired direction. 1t is also
remarkable for a catholicity of taste
that permits it to assimilate words
that are not of current use in the Eng
lish of this country. but which. by
reason of being monosyllables and
hence useful for headlines in large
tyne where only few words can be
crowded in. appeal particularly to the

The Hill Statement.
m the New York Evening Post.


Ex-Ambassador Hills statement con-
corning his dismissal from the embassy
at Berlin is not only defense. but an
attack While setting at rest the false
stories about the reasons why his res
ignation was demanded, it also asserts
roundly that he was the victim OF an
intrigue, or even conspiracy. At present
he names no names, but it is evident
that he could tale unfold which would
make unpleasant reading for the state
Department The letter from the Presl-
dent, of which an extract is cited by Mr..
Hill, shows that Mr.. Taft came to be
persuaded that there was nothing in the
charges against the ambassador. lie
gives him, in fact, not only clean Dill
of health, but a high recommendation.
But this only deepens the mystery why
so efficient and acceptable an ambassador
should have been abruptly dismissed. IL
the only explanation to be given Is the
same as that offered by President Roose-
welt for demanding the resignation OF
Arthur Hardy at Madrid-namely, that
