Cupid and Mud.

Bishop Samuel FalloWs, of Chicago absolutely cinched the united support of women for the good roads move ment when he recently declared be- fore the Illinois WOmans State Good Roads Convention tha. true love can never flourish in country districts where there are bad roads.
 Churches and schools have joined in the good roads movement and heralded to the world the fact that education and religion are greatly handicapped by the impossible thoroughfare. Mer- chants and farmers have emphasized the fact that trade and land values suffer from the effects of poor roads.
 Heretofore it has been taken for granted that love would leap over all barriers and it remained for Bishop Fanows to make the bold declaration that Cupid doesn't like muddy roads any better than other folks do.
 Bishop Fallows grants that the man who is desperately in love will brave the hardships of d trip over a horri- ble highway but he says there are many estimable young men of faint heart who are deterred in their court ship by muddy roads
 The Bishop is a good judge. In his long and useful life he has doubtless imarried thousands of faint-hearted young men and knows how vaccilat-
 ing love is. He also appreciates how distasteful anything is to women which will limit the number of pos sible weddings. with their fascinating bridal gowns and dinners which will afford conversation for a month. By all means welcome Cupid into
 the good roads campaign. He is an energetic chap and a valuable ally in
 the battle against impossible high i ways.

The Titanic Tragedy

In the face of such disaster as the loss of the 1900 human beings who went down with the Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland Monday Ire mind stands appalled,. The calamity is 50 great the ina ginatiOn cannot compass it. The grief Of the strick 9n friends and relatives is so intense that sympathy is like mockery And the beiittling Of the genius which. in :he construction of this huge ship, had thought 10 triumph over the elements, IS 50 striking that our boastfulness about mans mastery of the deep will go into retirement fo1 bnany a day
 For after all man is very much the sport and plaything of nature His puny efforts. when pitted against the combined forces Of fate and circum- stance are as less than nothing. The Titanic. three days ago. was the greatest ship in the world This morning she is a mass of broken iron, covered by water two miles deep, Three days ago. more than 200O human beings lived aboard her in fancied security This morning, nearly two thirds of them are dead It is a sad commentary on the genius of which We have heard so much
 The news dispatches say many rich men and many famous men died in the Titanic wreck But the fact of wealth or distinction has no place here. There are hundreds of homes in Southampton made desolate by the loss of the faithful sailors who manned the ship; and the suffering of the widows and orphans in those humble homes in just as intense as in the homes of the millionaire and the statesman. In the face of d calamity like this wealth and distinction are less than nothing. It is the sundering of earthly ties, the broken hearts and the unspoken grief that count.

The Aeroplane Litigation

In the United States court at Buff falO on Thursday, the action brought by the Wright brothers against Glenn Fl. Curtiss, to determine the validity of letters patent issued to the Wrights, and to settle the question of infringe ment, was postponed until June 25th after having been in the courts seven months or more
 The issues in this case are peculiar even in patent litigation. It is the contention of the defendant, Curtiss, that the balancing principle was not first utilized by the Dayton aviators for aeroplane purposes, but formed the basis of the experimental flying ma chimes made by the late Hugo Matu hath, and that the application of the principle used by Matulath is now open 10 the world.
 In the pleadings it has been urged on behalf of the Wright brothers that Matulath did not build a practical man carrying. heavier than-air ma chine, and that in any event the Day ton men knew nothing of Matulath's experiments when they applied for and obtained their letters patent.
 It is never wise to venture conjec- lures regarding the result of litiga- ton arising out of alleged infringe ment Of letters patent. It certainly win not be contended by the Wrights that they invented" the balancing principle upon which the operations or the heavier than-air flying machine depend Neither can it be claimed that it was invented by Matuiath.

The principle has been utilized by birds since they warbled in the Gar den of Eden. Under United States patent office practice, principles are not patentable If it can be shown that Matulath, or anyone else, realized the value of the application of the principle of balancing in the air, and applied it practically. if even in a limited way, before the Wrights. it is difficult to see how. the latter can consistently claim a monopoly in it's use For laws of nature belong to all alike. It is only original and use ful methods of applying them which come within the jurisdiction of the patent experts.

Chicago has an all night theater which is great success. it is said. It is easy to see that such an instj- tuition should be liberally patronized. There are always some people who are afraid to go home in the dark. And then there is a still larger class who are afraid to be caught tiptoeing upstairs after they have arrived.
