Aviation Fatalities.

The last day of the year, almost lts

OF aerial navigation the names of two
of Americas foremost aeronauts, both
of them reputed masters of the new
craft in it's present stage OF develop

a wonder only the proverbial seven
days. So familiar is it already that
it's fatalities are thoughtlessly COM
pared with those of automobiling. A
fairer comparison might be drawn.
The beginning of the conquest of

1t can never be known what loss OF
life accompanied mans venture upon
the waters. the price he paid for his
conquest of the deep. But we do know
that the bottom of the sea is covered
with the bones of nameless pioneers.
Those early seafarers must have had
their period when they devoted them
selves exclusively to the acquisition of
complete control of their vessels with
out taking proper cognizance OF the
ways and moods of water, wind. tide
and season, and learning to read their
lessons and warnings.

No Graft in State House Job.

There is at least no deficit in the

ard the Chairman of the commission

And the Post of the same city remarks
that the balance of 81 is not a
princely amount, but worth "a good
deal to any community as showing the

q forlorn lane of matched novels ana
cabbage gardens forsaken by Romance,
The other found in it all the wilo

that touched her cheek came from the
old lands of wonder and dreams the
grass was greener along it's banks, the
sky was purer than any other she haa
known, and over all sang an EhSish
skvlark half hidden in the blue.
Each saw only a part OF What the
field path had to show; but the optl-
mist had the real joy and profit OF the
Journey. She carried with her an in
ward guiding light OF enthusiasm
which was able to illumine common
ways and bring their treasures TO
light. Most people find what they
look for in life and if they survey II
in a gloomy spirit they will see only
the novels and the cabbage patches.
The gift of seeing the best that lies IN
the people and things along the ROAD
is more precious than great riches.
Most OF us have a little plant OF hap

flourish bravely if we would only en-

O'Brien's Views on Japan.

thOnoIuiu bullellf.l
II there is one persons, outside of a
subject of the Mikado. qualified to
speak with authority on the relations
between Japan and the United States
that man is the Hon. Thomas j.
OBrien. United States Ambassador to
Japan.
Mr.. O'Brien is now in the states
and talks very freely on conditions
as he finds them in the Sunrise en-
pire. BY assidueus study and culti-
vation OF the people to whose SOW
ereign he is accredited. Ambassador
OBrien has gotten very close to the
japanese government and people.
Not only has he delyed into their
history, traditions and sources of in
spiration. but he has striven To solve
the japanese character He has
sought sympathetic and friendly
understanding of their daily mode of
Ilife, their family institutions. their
habits of thought, their mode of NOR :
ais, their conception of the duty of
man to man. and thus finally has been
able to bring back to his countrymen
comprehensive knowledge of the
motives animating the japanese ma
tion.
incidentally, it has revealed the Sec
ret of the improved relations between
the United States and Japan during
his official residence at Toxic. in
which period the war rumors and bel
! ligercnt talk have grown fainter and
almost ceased.
This familiarity with things Japan
ese Mr.. O'Brien has been able to ac
quire not entirely through his un-
aided efforts during his three years
residence in Tokyo. In Japan there
are men of the highest probity and
| responsibility, Americans and Eng
lish. who have lived there from 40 to
| 80 years, and who speak and under
stand the language like native.
Through the assistance of these, Mr
O'Brien has gained information which
otherwise would have been denied
him. When, therefore, he assures his
countrymen that the japanese do not
seek, now or in the remote future, a
| conflict with the United States. he
supports his assurance with argu-
ments seemingly irrefutable.
In the first place, he shows that
| the Japanese are warlike people, but
in sense that is on all fours with
| the sentiment of the people of the
United States. They are warlke, but
just as Americans are warlike They
will fight as long as life lasts. lust as
Americans will fight. And their code
OF ethics differ in no wise, as to the
time when man or a nation ought
| to fight from that of Americans.

The record of the last year should be

Photographs to Make Farm Hands
Content.

philadelphia Evening Times)
The phonograph has been pitted
against the moving picture in a
unique effort to solve the problem OF
the high cost of living and to en-
courage the movement back to the
farm.
The Missouri granger has figured
out that il is the lure of the cinemato-
graph which has made hired hands
so scarce on the farm that $50 Il
month fails to keep them.
He has. therefore. taken the phono-
graph seriously and in great num-
bers.
Rural life is to become one grand.
sweet song. When the weary son of
toll gets through strenuous day in
the cornfield he can go home and
bathe his soul in the ripping meas
ures of Mendelssohn and be happy.
After day in the new ground Tet-
ra zzini will sing him lullaby.
1t is expected that in few months
he will look forward to that phono-
gra phic concert as of more Importance
than the evening meal.
The wicked wilcs OF the city will
cease to dance before his vision.
The crude melodrama projected ON
the shimmering screens of the moving
picture shows will no longer stir the
Wanderlust in his veins.
And at the end of the year the
happy farmer will chuckle to think
what a fine stroke of business it was
to combat the rising tide of wages
with a few dollars invested in talk
ing machines.
This contest between the ingenious
device which appeals to the eye and
that which attempts to catch the ear
is very properly being held in Mis-
souri,.
If she can be shown" to her own
satisfaction, the rest of the country
will take the results on faith.
But the effort to turn an economic
tide with a phonograph presents
difficulties.
The braggart who boasted that he
could call UP spirits from the vasty
deep" was asked rather pertinently
| if they would come when he called
to them.
The supply of monographs is un-
| limited.
1t is different with farm hands.
