AEROpLANE MAIL SERVICE

The first mail TO be transported by
aeroplane was al Long Island Satur-
day. where a % pound sack was car
ried a distance OF about miles by
Earl Loyington in a Bleriot machine
The sack was tagged special aero
plane service" and was dropped at
a station along the way at a signal
from the ground. The trip was made
safely and was a striking demonstra-
ton Of the uses to which the aero
plane will be Pit in the future. Such
experiments are worth while. They
add something to the science OF aerial
navigation that makes for the wei
fare OF humanity.
How much better are such expert
ments than fancy flights made to. sat

over their courts and insist that the
procedure be decisive, positive. They
must be fearless in the discharge OF
their duties and place strict justice
above every other consideration.
There is too much professional cour-

much st-aining at gnats. The dis
satifaction with this condition of the
courts is widespread, and public SEN
