The Crowd and the Aviator.

The spirit of old Romans who crowded
he amphitheaters and cried for the blood
OF more gladiators. and kept their thumbs
beasts to be let into the arena, animated
the crowd at the county fair at Norton.
Kan, Friday which by its jeers and
taunts compelled an aviator to take the
air with a faulty machine, which soon
sent him TO his death. This spectacle
serves 10 prove the belief that large
part Of the people who attend exhibitions
OF hazardous sport are inspired by the
hope OF witnessing a tragedy. II was at
such "A nd such a track the day that Blank
was smashed to pieces In his racing car"
is a not unfamiliar boast. II was on the
aviation field at Chicago when tombstone
fell into the lake" comes from another
in a spirit OF emulation. The man who
goes to a motor race or an aviation ex-
hibition and witnesses nothing tragic has
nothing 10 brag about afterward. In the
old days the falling balloonist furnished
the supreme thrill at the county fair.
Now ii is the unfortunate aerop!anist.
There IL a singular lack Of real sports
manship in this attitude toward the men
who are risking their lives In the air for
the entertainment Of the crowd. Disap-
pointins as il may be to have a fixed
program changed, there is no warrant for
thuse who have gone TO q fair hoping to
see a man fly becoming suspicious of his
GOOD faith when ne declares that his en-

Mr. Mills as Tariff Reformer.

The ST. Louis Republic. in praising
Roger Q. Mills as a tariff reforner'
says that he lived to see his views &C
cepted IN Congress" When? And by
whom Not at the first session OF the
Sixty-first Congress. when many demo-
Gratis. senator's and representatives
voted for protection duties that were
Incorporated in the Payne bill Not at
the recent extra session of the Sixty
second Congress. when the tariff bills
that passed that body had 10 be. and
were made acceptable to outspoken
republican protectionists
Mr. Mills. as the record shows. was
a tariff reformer of the old school. He
did not shy at the characterization of
free trader Rather did he court it.
He stood iatfootedly and bothfeetedly
upon the proposition that protection
is robbery under the forms of law. He
wanted the whole policy uprooted as
soon as possible
In contending for his views he had
several bitter disappointments He
saw Mr. Randall and forty-odd other
democrats unite with the republicans
and kill the Morrison horizontal tariff
bill.
our years ldleT ne saw HIS own
iabors attacked by democrats. After
the tariff bill bearing his name had
passed the House an effort was made
at the democratic national convention
TO retreat from that position and Mr..
Cleveland's tariff measure and commit
the party to auasi-protection. And but
for Henry Watterson's watchfulness
and aggressiveness il would have sue
ceeded Mr. Cleveland had consented
to the arrangement, and Mr.. German
mad gone to the convention as his
agent to carry 1t out. AS chairman of
the platform committee Mr. Watterson
defeated the maneuver and held the
party to the message.
Four years later Mr.. Mills lost his
race for Speaker of the House because
II his low tariff views. The protec
tionists in the democratic party insisted
upon a conservative man, and got him
in Judge Crisp. They feared the sort
Of tariff bill Mr.. Mills as Speaker
would order brought in by the ways
and means committee.
Three years later Mr.. Mills then
senator, saw Mr.. German play his pro-
lection hand openly and incur Mr..
Cleyeland's displeasure. In all the
racket Of that time Mr.. Mills stood
with Mr.. Cleveland. though, with many
other democrats, was disappointed In
the end BY the Presidents side-step-
ping and permitting the Commanded
Wilson bill TO become a law without
his signature. He had hoped for
veto and another contest on the tariff
issue
When Mr.. Mills retired to private life
the republicans We're in full control of
the government and the Dingley law
was in the first flush of it's successful
operation. All for which he had con-
tended had failed But he did not
change his views. holding still that
protection was wrong and free trade
right in principle. He was both con-
sistent and courageous man

Worldwide Peace Sentiment.
rom the 81. Louis Post. Dispatch

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
There will be no war over Morocco
because the public sentiment of Europe
is against 1t. For the same reason there
was no war over Morocco in 1906, when
the troubles were also acute. For the
same reason there will be no war over
Morocco in the future. In Europe IT.
self, then. where of all civilization
racial jealousies make war most
probable, q very practical demonstra-
ton shows that a robust body Of pub
lie opinion hostile to war exists, and
not merely reluctance to engage In
war based on motives of expediency.
We don't have to go back to the times
Of William Ladd and Elihu Burritt for
conditions to place in contrast with
those Of the present. 1t was at the be-
ginning of the new century when the
change began to be most apparent.
What was laughed at as fantastic when
the first International Peace Congress
met in 1S43 has become a force against
which the resistance of an obstinate
world is yielding. More than 100

feet The United States alone has
Lagreed to such treaties with twenty five
other nations, national honor and vital
interests being excepted from their
scope Sentiment in Europe, which has
lust prevented war, will presently

tments Sentiment in the United States
will compel the ratification of the
tentative treaties that include the two
fpoints excepted in all arbitration treaties
heretofore made operative. :

expects to see the governor improve the
opportunity to make strike OF some
kind and silence his critics.
The New York situation is unusual,
and positively discreditable to the democ-
racy. That party's national outlook has
not been as bright in twenty years. 1t
really was not as bright in 1892 for
although Mr.. Cleveland won that year by
a large majority his success came as a
surprise
Now the horizon is rose colored AS
far east as Maine the democrats are
united. and as far west as California the
republicans are divided. States like Ohio
Indiana and New Jersey. which for years
gave one republican majority after anoth-
er, are in the democratic column, and
each is Offering favorite son for the
presidential nomination.
But where is New York? In the demo-
cratic column also. but under leader
ship which discredits her. Tammany is
the leader, and its leadership is offensive.
There is not democrat Of presidential
size in the state. Gov. Dix is not.
although his local success last fall
brought him into the presidential specu-
lation. Mayor Gaynor is not, although
