The Canadian Cyclone.

Later reports OF the disaster at Regina
reduce the fatalities and the loss of prop
erty by material percentage, but the ac-
counts of the tragedy are still such as to
cause a shock. The death of eighty per-
sons in a single community and the injury
of 400 more must be rated asa catastrophe
especially when the visitation is ac-
companied by tremendous property de-
struction. 1t appears that large
number of those who lost their lives
We're boating on an adjoining lake and
had no chance for safety when the cy-
clone came roaring along, demolishing
buildings. uprooting trees and driving
everything movable before it. Probably
when the wires are working again the
full accounts of this visitation will in
crease the record of losses. for it is as
sured that the storm swept through a
fairly populous region both before and
after it struck Regina. Judging from
present accounts. there will be no need
of help from this country TO prevent suf-
fering in the stricken Canadian city

Needless Aviation Deaths.

Apparently yesterdays double aviation

lessness At height OF about 900 feet
the aviator. the first woman to win a
license as an aerial pilot in this country,
started to volplane taking too sharp an
angle. with result that the sudden gust
OF air tipped the machine too close to
the perpendicular. so that 1t lost Its hold
on the air and fell. AS far as the acct
dent was observed from the ground MOTH
ing broke, and the disaster was caused
solely by the effort to descend without
power too abruptly. Whether the pres
ence of a passenger in the monoplane had
any effect upon the stability in the cir
cumstances cannot he determined. but
there seems TO be no evidence that the
flight would not have been successfully
accomplished had the yolplane been start
ed at a normal angle.
The truth Is that almost all Of the Ia
talities are due to recklessness and the
desire to play FRANKS in the air Occa-
sionally a machine breaks, as in the case

Perkins for Campaign Manager

Crn1shv M"ilarg proposes George W.
Perkins for tine manager of the Roose-
Welt campaign. He describes him as
en- unconditional man, and SAYS that too
much emoiionaiism on the part of the
Roosevelt people caused the defeat at
Chicago,
Manager Dixon was undoubtedly very
emotional all through March, April and

The Convention Hall Trash.

Some idea of the stress of things in
Baltimore can be gathered from the fol-
lowing score of the cleanup committee
that tackled the convention hall Sunday
morning. following the adjournment The
place had been in such continuous use
that there had been little chance to scrub
1t and scour II until the lapse of a whole
day occurred between sessions Here is
the total of the haulage from the armory
as a result of the raking and scraping of
Sunday: Two wagon loads of dirt and
rubbish, seven loads of paper, fans etc.
three loads of bottles. OF course all that
trash cannot be attributed to the dele
gates. Every delegate who may be aues-
toned on his return about that bottle
item has right To- insist that the three
wagon loads of containers of wet goods
were attributable to spectators and con-
ventien employees. The reckoning is in
terestins as an evidence of the price that
the people Of this country have to pay for
their exercise OF the privilege of self
government.

ance to those who believe in the practi-
cal possibilities of the heavier than air

mechanical failures is small. Aviators

these successive aviation sacrifices VIII
gradually teach the lesson that flying Is
an extremely hazardous sport, and Will
arouse SO strong public sentiment
against this form of dangerous entertain
ment that there will no longer be support
or encouragement for those who are Will

Silence Is a great factor in political

The Cuban and Mexican Troubles.

If the Mexican revolt would subside as
definitely as the Cuban uprising there
would be much better feeling in TINS
country regarding conditions on the I'M
mediate threshold of the United states;
The Cuban affair seems to have been
effectually. suppressed, the uprising being
finally uuelled with the death of Gen.
Estenoz the other day, so that now the
pacification of the disturbed provinces IS
merely matter of administrative detail,
into the particulars of which it will be
lust as well for the American people not
to inquire too closely. for the sake or
their peace of mind. Such govern
ment as that established in Cuba cannot
afford to be easy-handed in dealing with
those who have undertaken to overthrow
it. and the aftermath OF the Cuban re-
volt is likely to be of a rather radical
character in terms of punishment and
a good effect in the maintenance of or
der In the future.
From Mexico every few days comes an
announcement to the effect that a de
cisive battle is about to be fought and
that the government is prepared to crush
the rebellion finally. Yet the subsequent
O1SpaICHeS 10 not Dear Out THESE pioC-
lamations. The rebel forces are pur-
suing guerrilla tactics, avoiding pitched
battles as far as possible and striking
the government unexpected blows by sud
den descents upon small garrisoned towns
and, as in the latest case, dynamiting
troop trains. The report from Chihuahua
that tells OF the explosion of mines under
twenty coaches full of government SOL
diers comes from insurgent sources and
thus far lacks confirmation, but it is
nevertheless helievable inasmuch as such
acts have occurred before.
One of the most encouraging happen
ings Of recent months from the govern
ment point Of view in Mexico is the
deposition Of Orozco as military chief OF
the revolution by a body which styles it
self the Mexican revolutionary COM
mittee," but which may have some diff
ficulty in forcing it's decree of trial and
punishment issued against Orozco. This
dissension in the insurgent ranks is GER
tain to weaken the anti-government
movement, even though it does not give
assurance that President Madero will be
able speedily to restore peace to all
parts of the republic.

Anti-Bryan Blunders.

Whatever Mr. Bryans purpose was
when he reached Baltimore-whether to
maneuver for the nomination for himself,
or simply to exert his influence toward
the framing of a progressive platform
and the placing OF a progressive man on
tit is clear now that his opponents
Numbered in several things at the very
outset.
Judge Parker's selection for temporary
chairman by the democratic committee
was blunder. Why have made it? Judge
Parker was not an inspiring memory IN
democratic circles. His nomination eight
years ago was mistake. The campaign
which followed was a humiliation. What
eIse was possible. with the party hurting
thunderbolts at Wall street and Wall
street financing the movement? No Won
der Mr. Roosevelt made runaway race.
His opponents had smoothed the track for
him.
Mr. Murphy's selection for chairman of
the New York delegation was a mistake.
Why have Haunted the most corrupt of
political organizations in the face of the
convention and the country? Mr.. Stanch-
fields description of the delegation cuts
two ways There are some excellent men
on it-men of high attachments and char
acter. and position. But why was not one
of them placed in the leadership? Why
did such men consent to fall in behind
such a man as MIR. Murphy?
AIR. Belmont's presence as member Of
the delegation was mistake. The bette
noir was Wall street The country was
still ringing with the effort OF the trusts
through George W. Perkins to nominate
al OF nd
at Baltimore, occupying a seat among the
mighty. was one of the recognized kings
of Wall street, representing both the de-
sires and the purposes of the street with
respect to the coming campaign.
The same may be said of the presence
of Mr.. Ryan as delegate from Virginia
In larger measure even than Mr.. Bel
mont, he represents Wall street and all
that has made that thoroughfare odious
in politics. Should not Mr.. Ryan have
foreseen the use Mr.. Bryan would make
of his phiz in the convention?
1t is not sufficient answer to point out
that Mr.. Bryan in past campaigns when
he was the candidate worked with these
men and accepted all that they did for
him That is a good point, well taken.
and tells against Mr.. Bryan as a politi-
clan. But the ruling consideration this
time should have been depriving Mr.
Bryan of all opportunity SO far as possi-
bic to make trouble. Instead, several OPP
portunities have been afforded him; and
he has seized them all with an avidity
and improved them with a skill thor
oughly characteristic.
During the past week Mr.. Bryan's enc
mics have played into his hands in way
not only to increase his power in the
party. but to hearten the republicans for
the struggle that is to follow.
