FLYING.

The accident to the airship. Zeppelin
L-2' was indeed a horrible affair. Hor-
rible not because it happened to or on
an airship but simply because the ele-
ments of horror were in the calamity by
which q men were killed. A rare
ful reading of the story fails to disclose
any essential thing in the catastrophe
inseparable from aeronuatics. There was
an explosion of gasoline with resultant
conflagratiOn. and death in all probabil.
ity due to the explosion. An important
addition to the emp.Oyments of men
must necessarily increase the chances
Of fatal accidents, because it increas-
es} the number of men in the way of such
accidents. More men will die of sickness
in, an army of fifty thousand men than
in an army of ten thousand. other condi
tiOns being equal. 1t is not surprising
therefore that efforts at aerial naviga-
ton have added greatly to the worlds
list of killed and wounded, since an ever
increasing number of men are seeking
that channel of effort. 1t is not contend
ed that the business is not of an extra
hazardous nature. 1t is merely contended
that this particular accident is not essen
TALLY related to flying-eXcept i'll the
fact that the men were flying when the
explosion occurred. An engine might *
plode in a ship, in a mine, in a factory,
OH a wharf. 1t viii. however. be many
years before the balances of loss of hui
man life will be adjusted. The business
is new, its dangers are as yet uncharted.
What are the safest ways. what the prin

It Depends.

The Democratic party will now
have almost a clear field for the
downward revision of the tariff.
The status, as we see it, is just
this: If wages remain up after
the tariff reduction, then the
contention of Democracy is cor
rect and that party is in the sad
die for many years to come. If
a reduction in the tariff brings a
reduction in wages, then it is
natural that a reduction IN wag-
es will force a reduction in the
price of labor's products. In the
latter event the conditions will
cause the Democratic voters TO
sit up late and take notice.
