Peace reigns In Berlin. The Emperor
has received the Reichstag officers, and
all is well. Thus ends an incident which
was unique in German parliamentary
history and which has left precedents
which may yet be troublesome First. a
Clerical was elected president and a
Social Democrat vCc-prcsident The
former refused to serve with the latter
and resigned, and a Radical was chosen
in his place. Then the Social Democrat
made known that he would not 20 10 the
imperial court, and the court in return
intimatcd that il would not receive him,
anyway So the ReiChstag thought II
prudent not {, confirm his election, but
to put somebody in his place who would
be acceptable at court The result is
that all the officers are now either Rad
icals or National Liberals. and the So
cialists. Clcricals and Conservatives, re-
spectively the first second and third
parties in numbers are unrepresented
| I'm the official staff. Yet II was formerly
the rule that the president should be
chosen from the most numerous party
and the vice presidents from those next
! in order That rule IS now so com
petely smashed that Il IS not likely To-
| be rchablitatcd. and future elections
will probably be conducted on the plan
OF giving the Offices To those who can
secure them 10y no matter what methods

4 French aviator points out that while
there were ten aviators killed in France
in 1910, the total mileage of flight there
for the year was about 312,OD, giving
one death TO every 3l.2Oo miles flown.
That. # is argued, is not high rate OF
mortality. Moreover, last year there
were 26 deaths and 1,G250OO miles of
flight. or one death to every $500 miles.
Those figures may make aviation seem
less deadly than some have supposed 1t
to be. but they cannot conceal the perils
of flight under even the most favorable
circumstances or the madness OF trying
venturesome tricks I'm midair.

CUNDAY NEWS
. PAPERS

A SUNDAY newspaper is a portable
n library, which Is delivered by a
strong carrier boy on a reinforced
front porch on Sunday morning with a
bang which is as good as an alarm
clock.
The Sunday newspaper contains the
news of Saturday together with several
short stories, a novel, an art section. a
gangrenous loking collection of funny
pictures, a beauty corner, a Sunday ser
mon, a sporting section, some real estate,
financial and political gossip, ten pages
of automobile notes, some history, toy
aeroplane made of cardboard, a dramatic
letter, III 900 want ads, departments de-
voted to ancestry, royalty, love, cooking,
brass hammering, fraternalsm, q few
lurid sensations, an uplift editorial in
black type, the latest popular song, Il
symposium by famous persons on the
proper length of skirts and a recipe for
making soft soap, together with other
subjects too numerous to catalog.
All of this matter Is baled up Satur
day night and is waiting for the plucl1y
reader when he rises on Sunday morn
ing. For many years Sunday papers
were so small that they could be read
before church time. But they have
grown until it now takes a strong
man until late Sunday night to finish
one and he is being compelled to rise
earlier and earlier in order to get a fair
start at the task until Sunday Is becom-
ing a day not of rest but of red eyes.
