The Ohio situation has been great

ers," said MIR. C~arruthers. Things
are not nearly so critical for the re-
pnblicans as the third-party leaders
would have the country believe. This
is best evidenced by the scramble
among former Roosevelt non TO come
back into the regular organization.
Many # the delegates who went to the
republican convention in Chicago as

America NeyIccting Aviation.

Representative William g., Sharpe
of Ohio, democratic member of Elyria,
is perhaps the NEST enthusiastic mem
Der of the house regarding the future
Of the %aeroplane. He is sometimes
impatient at the lack of our
nlent given aviators and aviation by
this government. The ac-oplanr. Mr..
Sharpe believes. is not only going to
revolutioniZe Warefare in a large
measure. but will become an impor-
tant agent in the commercial world.
1t doesn't take a very old man to
recall the beginning of the locomo-
tive" said Mr.. Sharpe. And If some
Of US are not old enough to have seen
the first models of locomotives, We Ger
.ainly have seer pictures of them.
When one looks back on the beginning
of the steam engine in transportation
and compares the first locomotives
with hose of today, the contrast is so
great that it seems impossible. 1t on
~ illustrates what may be expected in
the development of ae%roplanes. This
latest means of transportation is, Of
course. only in its infancy.
when we think that to American
inventors is due the credit for giving
the first practical areoplane to the
world, 1t must occur to any one that
his country is not properly apprecia-
tive. Our countrymen invented the
flying machine, yet we are doing less
to develop 1t than n nation in
Europe. France has a p~retentious
school Of aviation; so has Germany.
Great Britain. and other countries. but
we appear to be content to have a few
of u army officers study aviation out
a. College park. We are letting other
countries take away the glory that be-
longs to U.S."

she paled, but threw her arms around
the king as though to protect him.
Meanwhile the crowd seized the

badly handled that he was scarcely
able to answer questions when he
was handed over to the police.

Washington Hears.

Washington, D. C.-DecIaring that
or the last six years he had
seen grow up ar environment in the
department essentially inhospitable"
to his own ideas of the administra-
tion of the pure food law, and had
seen the fundamental principles of
the food and drugs act, as they ap-
peared to me, one by one p~aralyzed
or d~iscredited," DR.. Harvey Wiley,
chief chemist Of the United States
government, and pure food champion,
issued an explanation of his resigna-
ton, which was handed to Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson.
"One by one l found that the activi.
ties pertaining to the bureau of chem
istry were restricted" said the state
ment, "and various forms of manipu-
lated food products were withdrawn
from it's consideration and referred
to either other bodies, not contem-
pated by the law, or directly relieved
from further CONTROL
To Become Editor and Lecturer.
It is reported here that DR.. Wiley
will remain in Washington as "direc-
tor of the department of food, health
and sanitation" of a New York maya
zine. The department is to be estab-
hshed here. 1t also is said he will
lecture on a Chautauqua circuit, have
a laboratory Of his own and be free
to continue his research work.
sDr. Wiley's action hardly was a sur
prise. 1t has been rumored for the
last several months that he would
quit the government service. A few
days ago he gave color to the rumor
by refusing to deny it's truth.

Wiley said.
From a source Of highest authority
it was learned that a week ago Wiley
submitted an ultimatum to Wilson
that either Dunlap or Wiley must get
out of the department. Wilson did
not discharge Dunlap, the associate
chemist refused to resign, and Wiley
made good his threat.
