Importance of Fourth ARM"

Captain Beck refers to France, Ger
many. England, Russia and Austria as
among the nations that realize the i'm
portance of the fourth arm" Amer.
lea alone Of the great powers has failed
to appreciate it.
OF axiom 2 Captain Beck says that
military reconnaissance will necessitate
In time OF war flights of from one to
four hours duration and the two pilots
should be commissioned officers of abil-
1ty, one of whom must be able to oper-
ate the machine guns or rifles with
which we are to brush hostile aircraft
from the Skies" For the training of
aviators and observers be argues for
a we'll equipped school Of aviation to be
ofhcered entirely by officers of the
army.
I'VE must breed corps of military
experts" Captain Beck says in his ar
ttcle. Thine alone can do this. Civil
Ian constructors, however well dis
posed, cannot produce the type or types
OF aeroplanes which we need for mill
tary purposes. 1t would be foolish
to expect them to do so. They cannot
possibly know what we want. Having
produced the types, from our indi-
Gated needs. we will still require ex-
perts to work out the military features
of their use.
There will grow up two distinct
types Of flying men in the army, one
made up of men who are making a life
work OF it, the other of men who wish
to learn to fly in order to be of use in
time Of war; According to the conclu-
sions Of the British war Office it takes
two years to develop a capable mill
tary aviator. That being accepted as
true, as 1t probably is. will mean that
two years is the minimum time during
which an officer will remain on the
duty. But our instructors and experi-
mentalists must continue on the W erk
so long as they are of worth. Wilbur
and Orville Wright had until the re-
cent death Of the former flown con-
dnuously since 1905. Glenn Curtiss
has been flying since 1908. Outside of
these men. there are none in America

THE PANAMA CANAL TOLLS QUESTION.

~ ACK of the British ministry is Canada, and back of Canada
- the Canadian railroads. and back of them again are the
American transconinental railroads in the demand upon
our government to sacrifice our coastwise commerce to railroad
interests in the matter of canal tolls. Back of the New York
newspapers that are urging this sacrifice are the great vested
interests represented also by certain senator's and members of
the House. Back of the canal bill passed by Congress at the
last session are the people. The wobbly administration stands
hee. Sir Edward Greys protest merely recites the arguments
that were made at Washington at the last session before the
canal bill was passed. He presents no new points. The case
is now just what it was then. If Congress should reverse itself
its action would be due to an overpowering influence from with
out, brought secretly TO bear upon its members. We do not
believe that these sinister influences will prevail.

TUESDAY EVENING. 10 1912.
The dUBERNAToRiAL FIGHT NEXT YEAR.

TIME governorship nomination in 1918 is becoming a subject
of interest in the three political parties in this State,
although as yet there is no suggestion of rivalry for the
Republican nomination. A glance at the figures of the late
election explains why Mr.. Taft was at the tail of the poll with
S9,454 behind Wilson and 56,575 behind Roosevelt. To get a
plurality for Governor the Republicans will have to make gains
from the other two parties of approximately $4,000 votes. In
1908 Tafts plurality was S2,776 and the hope may be cherished
that the astonishing revolution of 1910, when that great plurality
was replaced by a Democratic plurality for Governor of 1906,
may be matched next year by the Republicans. But where is
the impulse to come from and where the inspiration? What
-is to overcome the tremendous Encouragement of this years
defeat? Except, possibly, to former Governor Stokes, who is
amiably trying to hitch the Elephant and Bull Moose together
in a single team, the party nomination is unattractive. There
is developing a rivalry for the Progressive nomination. With
I45,410 votes in the last election and only a lead of $3.50
plurality to overcome, a Progressive candidacy will not be a
f0rlorn hope, inasmuch as inevitably in a year following a presi-
Dental election there is a reaction in the successful party. The
Democrats, flushed with their victory this year and confident
Of winning "hands down" will occupy the centre of the stage
with their gubernatorial rivalries. The principal interest next
year will be the Democratic nomination.

Sousa Music
3-Hour Riot
Of Ecstasy
Many in Audiences at March
Kings" Concerts Here Had
Taken Advantage of the
Stars Coupons.

John Philip Sousa and his band
swere at the Symphony Auditor .um
yesterday afternoon and last light,
which Is equivalent TO sayina that
local admirers of the Marca King
had an opportunity to hear a concert
OF the sort that only ne can give;
that they filled the hall to the doors;
that they were thrilled for three
hours. and that their method of DEM
onstrating their pleasure at whst the
famous band leader offered resounded
through the streets as the closing
chords of each number were heard.
There's nothing quite like 4 Sousa
concert. He is the one baEdmaster
who can draw from the sonorous brass
instruments of his musicians not only
the inspiring strains Of martial music
which n expects TO hear from q uni
formed band, but can guide his band
through the ~intricacies of a Wagner
overture or a Debussy symphony. or
excite laughter by his playful render
ing Of a ragtime humoresque with
equal facility.
Sousa's old walking beam method OF
directing n of his own marches ard
his old trick of seeming TO pick a note
out of the air, cast 1t at one Of his
musicians and catch Ii again wnet. it
rebounds, are just as popular as they
eyer were.

Then, too, he has his usual galaxy
of soloists. Herbert l.. Clarke, who
has been Sousa's corneL so.oist for

cores were demanded CT him by tbs

at a one-third reduction.
The program al the afternoon on
cert was devised particularly to please
the children who attended. The
bandmaster interspersed lively airs
that made hundreds of little feet de-
cidedly ervou with the more heavy
numbers, and the result was most
gratifying to audience, bandmaster
and band alike.

INAUGURATION OR A CAMP IN Fl HILLS

xXTIL the Legislature appropriate $4,000 to send the
wv whole National Guard of the State TO take part in
the Inauguration ceremonies at Washington? 1t is
doubtful if such a step will be taken and more doubtful whether
the Governor would sanction the appropriation if the Legisla-
ture should pass it. The appearance of the New Jersey division
on Pennsylvania avenue would make an inspiring spectacle for
an hour and would crafty the pride of Jerseymen indifferent to
the expense, but 1t would be of no particular benefit to the State
Guard. The same amount of money expended for land in the
hills Of North Jersey for a large instruction camp. which the
State military needs, would be more to the purpose, and would
be OF permanent benefit. If a vote of the guardsmen of the
State should be taken it would surely be for a camp in the hills.

A NATIONAL STANDARD OF MEASURES.

r NIFORMITY of weights and measures throughout the
nation is an idea as old as the republic. Washington
twice urged it upon Congress and Jefferson and Adams
repeated the recommendation. President Wilson will be asked
by Sealer Waldron, of this State, to take up this vital matter
N his message to Congress. AS it is now a bushel in one
State varies many pounds in weight from a bushel in another.
The socalled quart and pint baskets used for small fruits are
lot even regulated by State laws and the terms mean absolutely
nothing. The States will never get together on this question,
so important to the consumer in its relation to the cost of living.
It is time that we had fixed federal standards, nationwide, for
the weighing and measuring of every food commodity.

REMoTENEss OF ii DISTRICT COURT.

A MEMBER Of the Lawyers Club states that there are 275
~ cities in the country where federal district courts are
established permanently and that if the distribution of
The courts was pro rata of population there would be nine courts
in New Jersey. 1t is also estimated that 1856 out of 500 wit
nesses summoned to the District Court at Trenton have to pass
through New Jersey. The saving of their railroad fares would
pay the additional expense of a deputy clerk. Why the United
States District Court should be kept in a town remote from the
great majority of witnesses and practitioners is a question that
may puzzle the department Of Justice at Washington to answer.

THE PROFESSIONAL BLUNDEPER.

I is said that a doctors plumbers go underground, out Of
sight. A lawyers blunders also take the same course in
some cases. as. for instance, when an innocent man is. elec.
lrocuted or hangeo. Lawyers bIunders not infrequently land
men in jail. They, too, often seriously affect property rights
and the interests OF civil justice. AS witness the case of a Long
Branch lawyer who has been hailed up before the court for a,
Anowledging signatures to a fraudulent deed by parties he did
not know, an act that alienated from q wife the savings of a
lifetime appropriated by a rascal husband. And there are some
lawyers blunders that ought to be penalized by a Jail sentence.
