A BUSINESS AIRSHIP.

Aerorlanes built and used for ex-
hibitions and races have made large
profits for certain daring and fortu-
nate birdmen, but no heavier-than air
flying machine has yet paid a return
worthy of mention Upon its cost from
money earned by carrying passengers.
That was the especial triumph of the
big dirigible balloon Schwaben, which
was wrecked while anchored in a heavy
wind, at Dusseldorf
The news of the total destruction of
this giant airship was received by
readers in all countries as one more
proof that whatever might be achieved
with dirigible balloons in the future they
were still costly experiments in which
money was sunk rapidly by the Ger
mans who persist in building them anG
striving to make them a regular and
practical means of transportation. Pro-
bably no American who noticed that the
Schwaben had been wrecked thought
that the big airship had already earned
it's cost and its expenses while in use.
But this great balloon had made many
regular trips. 1t had traversed g. 600
miles and carried more than 5000
passengers. They had paid hand
some price for their air voyages and
the capacity of the Schwaben's cabins
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-08-26

was usually tested on trips made in
fine weather. The engines of the
giant airship had driven it a distance
much more than equal to the circum-
ference OF the earth. and some trips
were successful in the face of high
winds.
Naturally, the German believers in
the future of the airship are not dis
posed to stop row. They are putting
more power than the lost Schwaben
had into the newest and greatest OF
their dirigibles. The Hansa. Counc.
Zeppelin's latest airship, has shown
a speed of 40 miles an hour. without
help from the wind. A naval airship
is counted on for not less than go miles
an hour.
The race between the aeroplane and
the airship is evidently not yet ended.
There remains much to be said for the
big balloons kept af1oat by gas, but
given speed and power and usefulness
by their engines and their. rudders.
And whatever is to be said on this
subject, the Germans will say.

Do You Want to Be Popular.
How many of all the readers of this
column could honestly answer that In
the negative?
and imperative demand of the body
The desire to be liked is the most
primal and imperative demand of the
heart and mind.
Ruth Cameron has been asked by
many readers to analyze the subject OF
popularity. In doing so, she has, with
characteristic thoroughness, talked
with a great many people on this sub
ject. Her findings are set forth in q
series of articles, each dealing with a
quality which makes for popularity.
Today's is the first of the series. Don't
fail to get them all. Together they
make up sure recipe for being liked
CThe Editor.)
Popularity Papers-Being the first of
a few little talks on the ingredients Of
popularity.
UNsELFISHNESS
Unselfishness was far and away the
favorite in the naming of qualities
which bring popularity. Five people
named unselfishness first to one who
suggested some other quality, and
everytime said Amen
There never was a truly popular per-
soT who didn't have some of the twelfth
commandment spirit about him.

wide popularity, you've got to pay an
al1-wool-a nd-a-yard-wfde price for it.
You can buy cheap and perishable
vogue with the copper coin of ELUSIVE
ness and f1attery, but if you want true
popularity, real love and admiration
tie friendships that are guaranteed to
wear lifetime and wash without fad
ing or shrinking. you've got to buy It
with the gold of true heart cordiality,
real love for your neighbors, real desire
for their welfare.
Gold and iron are good to buy iron
and gold; all earth's fleece and food for
their like are solo, you know, and
popularity is no exception to this rule
of payment in kind. If you are going
to be popular with people, people have
got to be popular with you. If you are
going to be liked, you've got to like.

FROM OTHER PENS
THE RACE PROBLEM SETTLED.

-.
The papers have completely failed to
grasp the craftsmanship of Colonel
RooseveIt's new southern policy as set
forth in his letter to the son of
''Uncle Remus.' 1t is astonishing.
considering the long practice they
have had in fathoming the ways Of
genius that they should still be max
ing such a mess of it. They perceive
only what is superficial in this new
and epochal edict concerning the race
question. They miss what is profound
and controlling. They consider that
the magnanimous surrender of the
support of the southern negroes is an
offer of something for something.
That is cruel MISUNDERSTANDING. 1t
is an offer of nothing for something.
In practically all the southern states
the negro vote at elections is so small
as to be negligible-except as it pro-
vokes white people to vote the other
way. The only way the negro vote
counts in the south is in Republican
primaries and conventions. But Col
onel Roosevelt is no longer running
for a Republican nomination. While
he was, nobody valued the southern
negro vote more highly. He knew
what it was good for. He based many
of his contests on it. He is now seek
ing southern support for righteous
ness at an election. The votes of
southern negroes do not carry cleo
lions. There are not enough of them.
and they repel other votes. They are
accordingly dispensed with. Really,
genius is simple. It's merely our blind
ness that sophisticates 1t. And here
are learned editors all over the coun-
try quite unable to see why there must
be one rule for the north and another
for the south in this matteri Why,
it's perfectly plain. There are many
negroes in the south, but few of them
vote, and their side always loses.
There are fewer negroes in the north,
but most of them vote, and their side
usually wins. How stupid most of us
are.-Harper's Weekly.
