In the Senate Mr.. Simmons has but lit

numbers and none at all as respects de-

union. At least half a dozen democratic
senators object to the tariff bill as il

Stealing Navy Secrets.

| While of course it is important To re-
cover, if possible, the drawings which it
is said have been stolen from the Navy
Department the night of March and
subsequently,. and TO discover the iden-
tity and the motive of the thief. the mat
! ter is not to he regarded as serious in
dication that the naval secrets of the
| United States have been exposed to the
world or to any particular power. APP
parentiy there have been only two thefts
| of drawings. and there is no reason as
| far as the case is now understood to be
| lieve that they have been taken by any
/ one in the American service. The case
would be much more serious than il is if
there were reason to suspect that some
| one now intrusted with important secret
papers with access to them in the
course of official business had proved
recreant. The circumstances of the first
| theft merely point to the intrusion of
! some person outside of the government
into the drafting room of the Navy De
partment while the fireworks display was
! i'm progress Just how the second theft
occurred does not appear. far as the
public is informed Naturally the govern
ment is not taking the people fully into
it's confidence. and it is perhaps at this
time chagrined to find the matter made
public
AS long as there are navies and armies.
maintained against the possibility of war
between nations. there will be efforts to
steal secrets from them. 1t is essentially
important that certain aspects of the
| naval and military equipment should be
withheld from general knowledge. SUCH
for instance, as the location and char
acter of land defenses, the position of
magazines and as in this latest instance
of loss of plans. the arrangement of the
fire control of battleships. The European
governments and perhaps certain other
powers maintain corps of spies seeking
constantly to discover these items of pri-
vate information. Perhaps the United
States is doing the same thing. though of
this there is no specific intimation.
| AS for the thefts in the Navy Depart
| ment, the knowledge of them thus far
vouchsafed indicates that there has been
carelessness in the handling of the draw
ings. There must have been a relaxation
of watchfulness the night of the 4th of
March to permit entry into the drafting
room by an unauthorized person. The cir
cumstances of the subsequent theft have
not been explained. but again IT is ap-
parent that the safeguards against pilfer
ing were slackened. 1t Is to be expected
that those responsible for this condition
will be visited with appropriate punish
ment when the facts are all ascertained.
Meanwhile a fair assumption is that the
government is taking the precaution to
make such changes in its battleship plans
as to render the drawings vaiueless.

try, however. little is being done save
for the entertainment of crowds. An
exception occurs in the development of
the hydroplane, as shown at the recent
Langley exercises in this city, but
despite numerous promises and an
nouncements nothing whatever has
been accomplished in the way of the
practical carrying of mails by air
routes. which would seem to be a par
ticularly suitable field for the aero
plane.
II all the talents that are now being
virtually wasted in aviation entertain
ments were put to use in advancing
the aeroplane a vehicle the United
States would soon come to the front in
this important field of activity Lincoln
Beachey's determination to withdraw
from the dangerous game of risking his
life for the edification of morbid crowds
is TO be applauded. and he should be fol-
lowed by other young men who are
now exposing themselves to death for

Anarchy in Mexico.
From the Baltimore Sun.


The Mexican revolution and counter
revolution go grimly on. Huerta inauGu-
rated his regime by the treacherous
butchery of Madero and others. and the
so-called constituencies take a leaf
from his bloody book and shoot twenty
five federal officers who were taken pris-
oners during the last weeks fighting
above Guaymas. IL there are any peace
able. law abiding, orderloving people in
Mexico-and ii is fair TO assume that
there are millions of such people, in spite
of the perpetual smoke of war and noise
OF barbarous battle that produce the i'm
preston of general inferno-they must
be bitterly longing for rescue from the
oppression Of military factions. This
eruption OF hades has been in full blast
for nearly three years. and the end is APP
parently no nearer than when the move
ment against DiaZ began. 1t may be none
of our business just now, but 1t might be
a great deal Of our business, ii any for
eiSn complications arose which made
Mexico convenient base for military
operations against us.

Fruitless Aviation Risks.

Lincoln Beachey, who has been one
of the most yenturesome and spectacu-
lar of the exhibition aviators in TINS
country, has been moved by the nu-
merous deaths among the flying men
this spring to resolve never TO enter
an aeroplane again This is wise
resolution. and il should have good
effect in the disbursement OF rech-
lessness on the part of the aerial ex-
hibitors. who are led by liberal oners
to risk their lives III sensational
stunts" aloft. Beaehey truly says that
the crowds attend these exhibitions
with the idea of possibly witnessing
catastrophes. and that they feel disap-
pointed when a flying program is com
pIeted without a mishap Il was at
Blank the day that So-aRd-So was Kill
ed Il saw Smith fall thousand feet
at Jonesville last summer. Il was
within hundred yards of Johnson
when he was crushed under his engine
at Millville this spring These are
some of the boasts that are to be heard
nowadays as the aviation death roll
grows shockingly in consequence of the
public demand for or at least support
of the death -defying maneuvers of
airmen. The effect is unwholesome.
and such exhibitions should be pro-
hibited in the interest of public moral
ity.
The airplane should not be rated as
toy. but efforts should be concen
trated TO make il practicable trans
portation device. Nothing is gained
to this end through the recklessness of
exhibitors at fairs and other places of
public entertainment. The other day in
France six passengers were carried on
a machine with the aviator for a con-
siderable distance. Other notable tests
are being made on the other side of the
Atlantic in the direction of the develop
ment of the airplane as vehicle for
practical transportation. In this coun-

deeply concerned as to the outcome of
the deliberations of the four important
religious bodies which will assemble
this week in Atlanta, Ga. These or

of the Northern Presbyterian, South

and Associate Reformed churches.
Being closely affiliated in doctrine,
these denominations have for years
considered the question of consolida-
