Beverly, Mass, Sept 15.=President
Taft leaves Beverly today on his Sec
ond swing around the circle In the
opinion of many of his friends, the trip
promises to be one of the most i'm
portant ever undertaken by chief
executive. He himself has said he will
indulge in but little political discus
sion, but it is admitted that oppor-
tunity for such discussion will not be
merely offered. but probably will be
thrust upon him. That he would ac-
cept the gage of battle if some check
Ier'' in his audience threw it on the
platform, is hardly doubted.
That the presidents fortunes may
depend to some extent on this journey

AvIAToRs ARE POORLY PAID
Even Best Flyers Get Small re
Enumeration for the Dangers
They Face.

The popular supposition that avia-
ton is q sort of Klondlke where peo-
pie who have q certain amount OF dar-
ing can 60 and snatch up fortune Is
decidedly mistaken. People read re-
ports of big prizes won by aviators IN
contests and take for granted that 1t
all goes to the flyers. That is wrong
with few exceptions the flyers do
not get the prizes they win. They
are employed to fly by big concerns
who pay them a salary, seldom ex-
ceeding SIS per week, the usual ar
rangement being from $25 to $40 per
week salary and $50 per day when
they fly at meets. This 10 true even
where the very best American and
foreign flyers are concerned, includ'
ing such celebrities as Brookins,
Deachey, Ely and others.
Nor is the lot Of the Independent
flyer any better. To keep up with the
flyers Of big concerns continuous Inn
provement of their machines-which
must. OF course, always be Of the very
best--is necessary. What with the
cost of the aeroplane, Of running IL
keeping 1t in good condition, salary oil
mechanic and general expenses. the
prizes the aviator gets become rather
small by the time the expenses are
deducted. The fact that prizes ap
now given only to- winners Of contests

tice. Aviation does hold prizes fol

of the kind imagined by the outside
public. In fact. there 10 slough o
