AIRsnIP pEvEL0PMpNT.

From every point Of view the prog
Eess of aviation in Europe is much
more rapid and extensive than It is in
America. The crowds drawn to race
meetings are larger and such contests
are far more numerous In France, Ger
hmany, Great Britain and other coun'
tries OF the old world. There is more
progress in aviation feats Of various
kinds in Europe. The business Of max,
ing flying machines and airships is
much larger there than it is here.
In great measure this difference is
the result OF the abundant military
and naval support for aviation in Eu'
rope and the lack OF such aid, on O
similar scale, in the United States
The flying machines and the dirigible
balloons OF Europe are like great wal
eagles. A large part of them are used
by the armies and navies Of military
powers. The rest can all be depended
upon in time OF need, for government
Service.
In the United States there is com
paratively little government aid fol
aviation. The building and use Of fly
ing machines and airships has rela
lively poor support from the public
treasury. No such need is felt in this
country OF keeping the entire military
equipment up TO the minute and o.
great extent.

MIIsoN AND TAFT.

The tariff which is now a law and
the tariff bill which it succeeds is the
difference between two men, Wood
row Wilson and William H. Taft Both
were candidates for the presidency on
a platform pledging to a downward
revision of tariff duties. Mr. Wilson
compelled his party TO redeem this
promise Mr.. Taft did not, though
there is no doubt that he would have
been pleased had his party kept the
faith. The Aldrich-Payne bill was
written by the interests. Taft knew
this but lacked the courage to stand
up for the consumers. When this
measure was put on the statute books
it was the highest protective law ever
passed by an American congress. To
please the interests who subscribed
campaign funds, Mr.. Taft allowed his
party to violate its pledge TO the
people.
Not so with Mr.. Wilson. When the
present law was in process Of forma,
ton the interests assembled in Wash
ington and proceeded with their Ole
game of intimidating congressman and
soaring the people. Mr.. Wilson hurl
ed his defiance at them and declared
a powerful and insidious lobby" was
trying to defeat the will OF the voters
Then came the Mulhall expose and
the lobby left Washington, never, it is
believed 10 return.
Meantime Mr.. Wilson kept his eyes
on congress. He never failed to be il
touch with the leaders who were con
structing the bill. He watched every
move. He knew everything that wal
being done. There were times wheI
congress baked. The president called
attention to the platform and its prom
iSes TO the people. He sent for the
leaders and appealed TO them to re
deem sacred pledges. This is the wa,
he got the bill through.
His leadership was mastery. H
won because he would not permit tn,
violation Of pledges. What is the re
suit. He is stronger than ever, 4
great London newspaper declares h
is the greatest occupant Of the Whit
house since Abraham Lincoln.
Had Taft forced its party 10 remain
true to its pledges he would hav
been renominated by a united part
and possibly reelected. The Aldrich
Payne bill destroyed the republican
party. Taft could have prevented 1t
passage and had he done so he woul
have become the idol Of the people
FHe lacked backbone.
Wilson won because he has back
bone and because he believes no part,
can win or deserves TO win that seek
success on broken promises.

plan of the American Automobile as

MAY LOWER MEAT PRICES.

Ex-President Leguin Of Peru says
that when the Panama canal is open
for traffic beef can be shipped to the
United States from Peru and sold in
this country for 10 cents a pound. OF
the quality of Peruvian beef we are
not informed, but even if it is not
quite up to the standard to which we
have been accustomed, il 1t can be
sold in this country for 10 cents a
pound it will be welcome to several
millions of Americans, who are not
very fastidious.
There is a danger, however, that
the American meat trust will make
every effort TO get control of the
Peruvian beef supply If importations
are made in large quantities to this
country. and that the government
should thwart at all cost. II our pres
ent laws are not stringent enough TO
prevent the American packers from
controlling shipments of beef from
South American countries and from
Australia they should be changed
No trust controls the shipments OF
meats from those countries TO Great
Britain. although the American pack.
ers, according to all accounts have
tried to do so. We have been too
lenient with our trusts, and now that
the duty on imported meats has been
removed by the new tariff bill, it is
the business OF the government to see
that no monopoly in them is allowed
to be built up.
With an open market for South
American meats in the United States
one item in the high cost Of living
should be materially reduced Imports
OF South American meats should also
stimulate American farmers TO raise
more cattle. There is nothing like
competition to stir up Americans.
There will always be an ample mar
ket for American beef and at much
lower prices than it now commands Il
can be produced proftably.
The packers have been getting tht
bulk of the profits up to now. but the
farmers will soon learn TO market
their own beef, which will be better
for them and for the consumers.

Who bowed IN deep humility
And cried: New. hope has come to me

Mr. Silas Jones. who was travelling

turned his eyes up at the ceiling, then
lowered them to the floor, while bis

from a pain in his stomach. Presently,
after clearing his throat, he said:
II assure you, my lord. that am

that you should withdraw your re
