AROUND THE SQUARE.

Marietta merchants who have decor
ated their windows for the reunion
have achieved interesting and appro-
pirate effects. Mr.. Saras has Welcome
U. c. V. in big red and white letters
on the show-window of his drug store.
Smith & Potts have the spinning
wheel made for Senator Clay's mother
IN one of their windows with ''broach"
OF thread begun on the spindle and
with cotton rolls and basket of
bats on stool. One of the Pari-
sian beauties in wax, used for display
ing cloaks and suits, stands near the
wheel in bingham sunbonnet, plaid
homespun dress and check apron. A
patchwork quilt on the floor was made
by a lady rs years old and the white
bed spread was made by Mrs. Nash
who would be over hundred wears old
if she were living.
Mr.. E. G. Gilbert has display of
confederate money representing moth

that did not come true.
There are many things in Mr.. E. l..
Strlnger's window, pictures, guns
ammunition and samples of plaid and
striped homespun dresses woven by
Mrs. Saxon Anderson.
Daniel Brothers window is sacred to
Gen. Leonidas Polk. His portrait is
suspended between two guns that were
used in the battle of New Hope Church.
AT the base of one gun is the death
scene and at the other the head
quarters Of this warrior-priest who was
killed in one of the battles near Ma
rietta. Mr.. Orrie Daniel gave copies
of the poem on Polk by Harry Flash.
Mr.. H. c. Dobbs' window has for it's
center of attraction a painting of the
battle of Kennesaw. Under this is a
box filled with federal and a confed-
crate flag crossed and dropping over a
Ratchet almost buried in the earth. A
mound of cannon balls and other ammu-
milton are on the sides of the buried
Ratchet.
Mrs. Nash arranged a portrait of
Robert E. Lee with flags and a wide
blue satin ribbon draped over it in one
of the windows at Smith & Potts.
Mr.. Tom Wallace's windows have
beautiful rosettes made of u. S. flags
and two shields with welcomes on
them. One has an electric light that
flashes at night the words Welcome u.

The white lights have two globes
covered with red crepe paper and two
with blue leaving the big white globe

Reducing Danger at Sea.

IL i gratifying news to every body di-
rcctly or indirectly interested in the sub
iect Of greater safety at sea that the
new regulations of the United States
steamboat inspection service provide that
all ocean steamers must provide lifeboats
sufficient to take off all passengers and
crew at one time. that coastwise steam
ers shall be required 10 carry to per
cent of tho maximum lifeboatage between
May 10 and September II. that lake. bay
and sound steamers shall carry 90 per
cent during this period. and that river
steamers shall provide lifeboats for 10
per cent of the maximum passenger and
crew capacity during all times .of the
year.
This is a decidedly forward step in the
direction of safeguarding life at sea and
an increase in the protection 10 be given
passenger traffic along the American
coast and in inland waters. II is one OF
the forms of good resulting from the
Titanic disaster.
II is also set forth in the news that

resolution providing for an international
maritime conference to arrange better

Findings on Biplane Wreck.

The preliminary finding of the board of
officers which has investigated the bi-
plane smash at College Park is, according
to the current news. that faulty handling
of the machine was the reason for its
collapse and fall. The report of the board
will go before the War Department. and
this may contain facts bearing on the
cause of the fatality which have not yet
! come to public notice. Soon after the &C
cident, and even before the wreckage had
been cleared away, there was announced
a belief that the crash resulted from the
operator too suddenly changing the BIZ
planes course from downward to an
upward direction. Witnesses seem to
agree that the machine volplaned toward
the earth at an angle approximating 40
degrees, and at the end of the dip began
the ascent at an angle of about 30 de-
grees. thus forming an angle of IS de-
grees in the change Of course at the bot
tom of the dip. The stress put upon the
planes proved too much. they collapsed
and machine. pilot and passenger fell.
Just how much machine can stand and
how quickly the course can be changed is
question with which the operator S
judgment must grapple Aviators judg-
ment like that of other men, will some
times err, and in the air the line between
danger and safety seems to be especially
thin and vague.
The double tragedy at the army avia
ton field will have a SOLDERING influence
on the crowds of men who are coming to
look on aviatit- in matter-of-fact way
as though the problem of air navigation
had been solved. The risks that men take
in committing themselves to the air are
many. The percentage of fatalities among
aviators is staggering. LOSS of life has
lately come to be generally ascribed to
reckless flying to inexperience of men
in the air. Man is not yet master of the
air. All risks cannot be provided
against. The element Of danger is great
and ever present.
The death of Lieut.. Layton W. Halle
hurst and A. l.. elch brings the list of
aviation fatalities at Washington up to
three-the first being the death Of Lieut.
Thomas Selfridge at Fort Myer. Lieut.
Hazlehurst is the third United States
army aviator to be killed, Lieut. George
NJ Kelly having been killed at Fort Sam
Houston in 1911.
There is no doubt that the practice of
army aviation will proceed without much
reference to the accident. Some lesson
may be learned from the tragedy which
will add to the safety of future
aviators. There is something grim i'm
the statement attributed in the press
to Capt. Charles de +. Chandler
that the accident which cost two lives
was most unfortunate and army aviation
will be suspended until after the funeral
of the dead aviators. 1t will then go on
as before.

Sensational Ball.

The stormy sessions of the republican
national committee at Chicago and the
legislative labors at the Capitol would
probably attract more attention in Wash

were not stringing together a remarkable

nant heights in the percentage column.
Thirteen consecutive victories away

for naming Mr.. Hendricks for second
That was done, against his earnest pro-
test; and 1T required coaxing after the
convention adjourned to bring him
around.
Eight years later similar situation
arose when Mr.. Cleveland was named for
first place, and good politics called for
an Indianian for second. Again Mr. Hen
bricks was chosen, and again he pro-
tested. He had been a national figure
for years, whereas Mr.. Cleveland had but
recently come into notice. But he yielded,
and was elected.
In that same campaign John A. Logan
ran second on the ticket with Mr.. Blaine.
much against his wishes. He had tried
for first place. and. besides. was not Of
the Blaine faction of the party. He had
been Granite four years before. But
he found it impossible to stand out
against the party's call.
When the democrats met in 1888 Mr..
Hendricks was dead, and new running
mate for Mr.. Cleveland must be found.
So the party turned to the neighboring
state of Ohio and selected Allan G. Thur
man, a man who. as in the case Of Mr..
Hendricks, had been a national figure
when MI. Cleveland was only a pdTOcIldi
one Mr. Thurman did not relish the
assignment, but in the circumstances
could not decline.
The story of Mr.. Roosevelt has been
told repeatedly. At first he SHE'D at the
talk about second place in 1900. fearing
that election TO the vice presidency
might interfere with his plans to try for
first four years later. But his objection
melted before party pressure. and. as or
dered by fate, he was occupying the
White House fifteen months later.
At all times party pressure on party
men is exceedingly strong. At this time
it is notably so. Each party must put
its best foot foremost Both are troubled
by divisions, and both have need of all
the harmony that can be mustered. 1t
is likely. therefore, that at Chicago as at
Baltimore the man named for second
place will accept, whatever his personal
feelings may be- The signal on both
sides is up, and both signals carry the
same message. The party expects every
man to do his duty.

and moro uniform regulations to safe
guard life at sea. Under the terms of
this joint resolution the President is
authorized to invite maritime nations to
attend a conference at Washington or
to accept an Invitation to send United
States representatives to a conference
elsewhere.
Another aid to safety at sea is that
outlined In a cable dispatch yesterday
which told that Willis Moore of WASH
ington. chief Of the United States wealth
er bureau, had at London taken the first
formal step in the campaign for the es-
tablishment Of an international weather
and storm bureau. In support of the
plan Mr.. Moore Is reported to have said :
IF the plan is adopted. SO far as storms
are concerned the crossing of the Atlantic
will be made as safe as a short street
car journey. Great ocean liners. which
have but little to fear from anything
except the most destructive gale, may. by
altering their course on receipt OF the
warning, escape a rough passage, while
smaller steamers and sailing ships, by
making a detour, may escape possible
destruction"
The plan comprehends a median line
through the North Atlantic. and all SHIPS
travelling west will take daily weather
observations. sending these data by wire
less to the nearest ship in communication
to the west, the message being relayed to
the nearest American land station. These
messages will be telegraphed to Wash
ington. where the weather chart will be
made up and storm warnings, il 1ndi-
Gated, will be sent out. Ships going east
will relay their weather data to London
or Paris, where meteorologists will pre-
pare weather chart giving storm warn
ings where indicated. The presence and
force of storms will be indicated to ships
at sea- The plan is to be pressed upon the
attention of the International radio con-
gress now in session at London.
The extension Of the American weather
service into the West Indian and Carib-
bean regions is fresh in the memory OF
readers, and has been productive OF val
liable results in giving warning OF the
development, force and direction of tropic
storms. The proposed extension of the
storm warning service is feasible and
would greatly add to safety and comfort
i'm the north Atlantic.

Chairman Mack's Ruling Passion.

Probably Chairman Mack is not as
confident as he processes to be respect
ing democratic prospects. As chairman
he has acquired the habit of confident
speech. II has been part of his duty
since reaching his office to claim every
thing and claim it exultingly" when dis
coursing for publication about party mat
tiers.
But. however this may be. Mr. Mack's
rrofcssed confidence does not permeate
democratic councils. Many democratic
leaders. while more heartened than for
years, are far from the opinion that the
fight virtually is won. On the contrary,
they arc in anxious mood. and striving
for sane action at Baltimore. They
want the best ticket and best platform
possible. and i'll private conversation de-
clare that shortsighted or reckless
step taken by the convention on either
score might bring the partys hopes to
tho ground.
These men would not have their party
bank too much on the present republican
divisions. unprecedented for bitterness as
they are. The Greeley and Grant cpl
sode, tine Conkling and Blaine controver-
sy, and the feeling between the Reed
following and the Mckinley following
were warm, but not as warm as is the
feeling that has been aroused by the
clash between Mr.. Taft and Mr. Roose-
welt
Still, the two factions may Vet be
united. No party discipline in our his

was ably and admirably made. Mr.. Lin
coin was well known to the country
through his debate with Judge Douglas.
He proved to be the very man for the
emergency. Had his party proceeded
upon the assumption that because of
democratic divisions any republican
could be elected that year. and made
