Sane Aviation.

We heartily agree with the Wright
brothers, Curtiss. and the other airship
builders that the time has come to call
a halt upon the merely spectacular use
of flying machines. Why should the
country continue to go wild over aerial
achievements which do nothing more
than demonstrate the recklessness of
certain aviators, for which, alas! too
many of them have already paid the
forfeit of their lives? Why should any
more glittering purses be offered for
exploits which can be of no benefit to
the world, except to show what risks
men will take for money and to make
q morbid multitude gasp with amaze
ment and apprehension? OF what possi-
bic services to the cause OF air naviga-
ton are spiral curves, dives, dips. and
other like didoes and high jinks? Even
the altitude records. desirable as they
may appear from military standpoint,
might well be postponed until the peace
ful. commercial aspects Of the air prob
lem have been further developed.

agement.

"Ah, ha!' exclaimed the agent. What
you need is lightning rods. Next time
1t may not be a tree that's struck. but

Moore shook his head. Nope" he said
1.-The house may get struck. but ! don't
think it will. Anyway. I don't believe q

A Chamber of Commerce Duty.

Rivalry for honors in our civic and
trade bodies, if conducted in good spirit.
is healthful in tendency and promotive
of strength. Contest for Office in any
organization is almost invariably stimu-
lative and an incentive to growth. But
when good-natured strife of this char
acter provokes from without such an
attack as was made yesterday upon
D. ]. Callahan, whose business friends
have nominated him for vice president
Of the Chamber of Commerce, that body
owes it to its good name and high
standing to enter a protest, and vigor-
Gus one, against such tactics.
Virtually, the Chamber is accused, for
Mr.. Callahan has been one Of its most
active spirits from its inception. serving
for three years continuously on its board
of directors and executive committee. II
c-spirited, or more energetic member, We
do not happen to know him. But be-
cause, forsooth. he is the general man
ager of the Norfolk and Washington
Ste amboat Company-a position at once
suggestive Of success and ability-we are
told that he is too closely afiliated with
corporate interests to be eligible for the
purely negative position of vice president
of the Chamber. The fitting character
ization of such an attack would be
''bosh-' were it not for its sinister
| purpose.
If to be connected with any of the
clean corporations of this. town-and the
steamboat and street railway companies
are in conspicuously clean and honor
| able hands-constitutes a reproach and
| involves ineligibility for civic and trade
service, then Washington is in a bad way
