Unnecessary Experimentation

There are some kinds of experimentation that are unnecessary. An instance the attempted flight in a hydroplane San Pedro Fran the other day in which Kearney and Lawrence their lives In the present stage of aviation at any rate the present stage of the development the hydropane, the attempt foolhardy. The hydroplane nearly well developed the aeroplane and almost daily fatal accidents show how that is from perfection.
 Such experiments necessary in this could have been made in safety near the seashore. flight San Francisco had been successful it would not have proved that the hydropane was any nearly perfect than we know it now to be. Safe and sane experiments would have disclosed all existing defects and would have suggested remedies them as directly any discoveries Una could have been made in a long and dangerous flight could have done.
 one of the troubles aviation is that it has fallen into the hands have little other qualification than daring Few of them under stood the limitations of their own machine@ They have used them only for show purposes. Most of the aviators have been without special training some of them without that degree of mechanical skill that ordinary chauffeur ought to have. The science of aviation has not been advanced a single step by the deaths of the hundreds who have been
 killed while trying do unnecessary things, ignorant the dangers attending their foolish attempts
 The Wrghts did much aviation that is. they did about all that has been donc but all the time they knew what they doing. That they now and then with accidents is but they such accidents could not have been avoided in the course of necessary and intelligent experiments.
 We pleased to note the lessening popular interest in the foolhardy feats which first regarded thrilling exhibitions People will go farther a circus than aviation meet. When the craze has entirely died away we may hope that will again himself the task of sensiby promoting the science of aviation.

Hon. H. II. Linney. who recently visited Phoenix, is making a f the southern part of the state. We notice that wherever MT. Lnney has flashed athwart the horizon the local newspapers speak of his arrival 'on legal business the newspapers thereby confoundng the words legal" and "legis lative" which are not synonyms as the newspaper reporters may ascertain by consulting any dictionary.
 MT. Linney's business, of course, is legal in the that it is illegal unlawful, though that might not be conceded by Hon. sam P -Bradner, who possibly regards MT. Linneys business only illegal but immoral and in contraventon of the stitution of the which provision for only Arizona legislature

The Strikinq Difference

A Illustration of the difference between the progressive party and either of the old parties, or for that matter, between the progressive party and any party that dominant this country influential in legislation, given in of the Chicago conference a week ago
 Among the plans agreed upon by the conference the5 establishment of a legislative reference bureau whose aim should e assist in the enact of progressive policies statutes; to assist either both old parties the enactment of laws which four millions indicated on November that they wanted.
 k made plain then that there was an intense desire legis'ati can doubt now that it is favored by majority of the voters of this country and that only party ties for breaking of which a three campaign was too short, prevented the majority from expressing itself in favor such legislation as the progressive party advocated and still advocates.
 The progressive leaders Chicago were aware that legislation the progressive party has proposed it would play but a small official part in the congress and that the party most con spicuous in it's enactment would be strengthened; that every policy advocated by the progressvcs which should be made a law, would attract to the dominant party certain voters who had favored the progressive party because it had advocated such legislation and for which neither the parties had stood
 Yet the progressive leaders are willing that as possible of the policies their party is advocating, should be enacted by another party and which would receive popular credit for it This spirit is in strong to that which has animated the republican and democratic parties for more than generation One the other has been at all times party of obstruction; each seeking to the other into a hole" Healthful and con- structve legislation has been opposed, not because it was believed by the minority be bad e cause the effect of it would be strengthen majority We have seen admittedly good measures strangled by the majority because they had been proposed by the minority which would become the beneficiary of their enactment
 The people have been steadily disregarded the struggle for partisan advantage. We can hardly thirty years which enacted for the advan- it would bring party rather than to the people
 Now and then frightened majority in con to which chastisement had been admnis- tered at election has yielded a popular demand for reform legislation, but it has yielded not be- the legislation was just and proper but for self preservation.
 This program of the progressive leaders must further commend itself the thoughtful in that it contempates well considered legislation measures framed after careful study of the proposed laws and knowledge of their beneficial effects in coun- tries where they have prevailed. This will be a radical departure from the prevalent system of log rolling. whose products have frequently been inqui- ill considered legislation

Twenty Years Without Vaccination

(By Dr J. w. Hodge, of Niagara Falls, N YD
 The matter of compulsory medical inspection of school children is up before the board of educa ton this city discussion and consideration
 On public school registers enrolled the of about 5000 healthy children who have never been subjected any of compulsory medical in spection. For twenty years have had school vaccination. and during all that period of freedom medical inspection of sort schools have flourished and ranked among the best in New York State. Furthermore, of schools have been closed during said period account of any contagious infectious diseases.
 Although we have had smallpox brought into this unvaccinated city eighteen different occasions during the past ten years have been able to the disease and prevent it's spread-and this without the aid of vaccinations. We have of smallpox quarantined in the city this writing but vaccinations whatever are being made.
 Bear in mind that all these came from other places, and that have had nothing like an epidemic O endemic in all twenty years freedom vaccination. Nor in this period has there been a single death smallpox recorded in the city.
 Tn view of these facts it is hardly necessary to say that are hoping to defeat the proposed com- pulsory inspection in the schools. and certainly have ample reasons for oppostion.-Exchange.
