APPEALS FOR TITANIC SHAFT.

The following appeal for funds for
national memorial to the heroes OF
the Titanic tragedy has been issued
by Mrs. Annie Leakin Sioussat, hon
orary president of the Maryland State
Federation of Women's Clubs:
In the youth and the elasticity OF
our nation, impressions made upon
rs, even of our sorrows, are not last
ing, and therefore it seems fitting that
of this latest and greatest grief which
has come to our peoplr-the loss OF
the Titanic-there should be som,
great memorial erected in the capital
of our nation.
1t should follow the memorials OF
ancient Greece and Rome, which to
day call to mind the uplift of theil
heroic deeds throughout the ages;
and it might well bear the oft-quotrd
but rver-inspiring refrain of kipline
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget
And 80 there has been begun by
a little group of women in Washing
ton, represented by Mrs. John Hay
honorary chairman, and Mrs. John
Hays Hammond, secretary, a fund
for such memorial, which it is hop
cd will extend to every nook and cor
ncr of this republic.
1.-THE cooperation, therefore, of
every woman in this State of Mary
land is asked; and the sum of on,
dollar from each will make a worthy
remembrance of that splendid group,
from the brllboy and the stoker to tn,
army officer and the capitalist, VIII,
faced death with the intrcpidity wich
upholds our ideals and gives us fresh
impetus for the life of our nation.
All contributions may be sent to
the chairman for Maryland, Mrs. 7.

AVIATION ON FIRM FOOTING.


When one considers the tremend-
GUS interest that attaches to aviation,
and the rate at which the sport, or
science if you prefer, is spreading, 1t
must be- admitted that is is sure to
form one of the chief sources OF in
terest at the great San Diego EXPOSE
ton in 1915, where Curtiss, the emf
nent inventor and aeroplanist, will
be in charge of all aviation events
and exhibits.
1t scarcely seems possible that it is
but sixteen years since Prof. Langley
of the Smithsonian Institute caused
the first flight, the first flight in the
history of the d,-by heavier
than-air machine. Langley Day"
was celebrated by the Washington
Aero Club on May 9th at the Chevy
Chase Club, in the suburbs of Wash
ington, just sixteen years after Lang
LEWIS machine had made its first flight
at Whitewater, Va, about thirty miles
below Washington on the Potomac.
The recognized obstacle in those days
to aviation was the lack of light
engine. Prof. Langley constructed
one which weighed seven pounds and
developed II horsepower, and with
the aid of this engine his plane flew
distance of more than half a mile,
and Alexander Graham Bell photo
graphcd the machine in fight. After
ward, at the request of the War De-
partment, Prof. Langley made a man
carrying machine, but after two at
tempts to launch it he gave up the
attempt because of lack of funds and
public ridicule. Being very sensitive
the scientist gave up public demon
STATIONS.
With thousands of aeroplanes in
commission and in daily use in Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa and America, and
Il Prkin to Paris contest being pro-
NOTED by a French news paper for
$40, 900 in prizes, the science of avn
alton is now on Il firm footing. 1t is
some distance in the future. but the
flight being promoted by the San
Diego Exposition from Panama to
San Diego, to carry the official an
nounccmcnt of the opening of the
Panama Canal, is attracting good
deal of attention. Fly, the lamented
aviator who gave his life to the
science, had announced that he would
enter that race
In the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington there are a number of
interesting exhibits in connection
with the history of aviation, includ-
ing Prof. Iangley's machine, and the
first aeroplanc bought by the United
States Government, Wright biplane.
The first Curtis hydroplanc will also
probably be added as well as many
other articles interesting in the history
of aviation. Col. ID. c. Collier, Pres
ident of the San Diego Exposition,
and also President of the San Diego
Aviation Society, will arrange if pos
sible for the loan of this collection,
and for as complete an exhibit of
aviation apparatus as can be secured.

He still de nies having taken anything else. The boy is detained in the city jail for the present as the proper course to pursue has not been decided upon, owing to his yOuthfunesS.

A Returning Wanderer.

The other day there was brought back to the state prison an "honor man" who, yielding to the extraor- dinary temptation which the existing prison reform methods placed before him, ran away and was recaptured.
 His punishment was placed in the hands of his fellow convicts. who clothed him in red. the Florence badge of shame. put him through various stunts to the soothing strains of Home. Sweet Home" by the prison band This ordeal, of course. did not hurt the 'ex-honor man." and if it had done so it would have been no serious matter But those convicts who went not astray were not the proper persons to punish him. Such thing was necessarily subversivc of good discipline and calculated to give convicts a wrong perspective. d false notion of their relations to the prison.
 Lie duln nlllSlfdtlOn organs seem to think that a noble thing was done: that because the scum of creation. murderers, thieves, criminals against nature, forgers, and burglars, with enthusiasm inflicted his punishment. they did so because of their just in dignation at the slight which had been put upon a too trusting administra- tion and at tn same time lowered the hitherto high regard in which con victs generally are held. Here seemd to be ample proof of the success of the honor system
 The prison authorities were to blame for the escape of the convict 1t was much more natural that he should run away than that his asso- ciates, on his return, should indulge honestly in an expression of mdigna- ton at his lapse.

The Election Law.

The senate yesterday passed the house election bill just as it was received from the house This action lis supposed to have beeA taken as a result of some pressure in the shape of strong resolutions adopted by the democratic state central committee demending that general election for state, county and precinct officers be held next Novenne".
 The senate had already amended it's amendment to the house bill restor- ing the definiteness of The house liH providing for an election next No- vember, thus making it conform in it's most essutial feature to the orig inal Saxon bill
 The senate, however, had not re stored the emergency clause which it eliminated but it was expected that that would be done by the house, and that such restoration would be accepted by the senate.
 Such other amendments as were made by the senate were no- essen tial, to the point of being objection able to the house, so that in all prob ability we would have had an election if there had been no meeting of the central committed
 The only error now to be assigned to the conduct of the senate with respect to the election bill was it's reluctance to act

was all cut and dried and that the California delegates were to be stolen along with all the rest of them. But Mr Heney ought to know by this time that he cannot believe all he reads in the newspapers. There are news paper correspondents and reporters who in their desire to please, would sacrifice the truth for the entertain ment of the multitude, and it would certainly be entertaining to the multi tude to be told that the committee intended to stir the Californians up.
 MT. Heney, we are sure, knows about the morals, or want of morals, of some newspapers, but in the agony of a Chicago June day, he did not think to make proper allowance.

California and the Convention.

The single contest from California, if it comes before the national com mittee, may result in something else beside the seating of this or that delegate-a settlement of the question whether under the present rule of the committee, delegates to the conyen- ton may be elected at statewide primaries when provision is made for their election by districts
 The California contest arose in the fourth congressional district, the only one in the state in which Taft ap- peared to have a plurality Under the California law, though the candi- dates are elected by districts, the ma jority in the state governs That is, the districts are allowed to elect their own delegates. but the state instructs them. Thus the delegates from the Fourth district are claimed for Roosevelt
 The Taft contest is based upon the contention that the rules of the con- veution should govern and that the convention itself like all deliberative bodies, is the sole judge of the quail fications of it's members Under the call the delegates were to be elected by districts; that is, each district was to choose it's own representatives in the convention. to vote the will of the republican voters of that district
 The California law seems to have been enacted to meet just such an emergency as was presented in the fourth district. It was an illogical recognition of the convention rule, with d provision for the notification of it.
 In Maryland the delegates were chosen by a statewide primary, but it was done differently. leaving no ground for a contest, though the call as to the election of delegates by dis tricts was disregarded In that state the delegates were elected at large, and both parties entered into the pri- maries without a protest
 The California progressive republic ans, in the enactment of the primary law of that state, were moved in part, perhaps, by their experience in the Spalding- Works senatorial cam paign. Under the primary law then in force, the fight was carried on by assembly and state senatorial dis tricts, very natural proceeding since each assemblyman or state sen ator was supposed to represent his constituents in the matter of the election of a United States senator, as in all other matters.
 Spalding carried a majority of the districts though the aggregate vote of Works who received a heavy vote in Los Angeles and the surrounding country was larger than that of Spalding. The law was disregarded under pressure by Governor Johnson and Works was elected.
 But, before reaching the most in teresting phase of the pending con test, the national committee will have another question to decide, and that is whether Taft actually received a plurality in the fourth district. That was at first unprecedented, but since then the California progressive ad- ministration has announced the dis covery that, by reason of the indefi- nteness of the boundary between the fourth and an adjoining district many votes were cast in the fourth district that ought not to have been cast there.
