ANOTHER ZEPPELIN DISASTER.

Although undertaking the conquest of the air
necessarily involves heavy sacrifice of life, human
iy is shocked every time toll of that kind is exacted
There is more reason for disaster in the case of the
newer monoplanes and bipanes than the older type
of dirgible balloons, and especially the type brought
to such high degree of utility by Zeppelin But,
at best, the whole enterprise, no matter what form
it takes, is lottery to those engaged in it.
Creation of an aerial navy is, of course more
hazardous than the development of passenger dirig
ibles for use in time of peace. The recent wreck
of one of the military Zeppelins in hurricane with
the loss of fifteen called attention vivdly to the
danger. And the destruction of another by fire at
a cost of nearly thirty lives will impress the risk
still more strongly upon the minds not only of the
German people but of all other nations which will
be forced to keep up with the competition for
supremacy of force in the new element opened to
the rivalres of man.

ALDRlcH, BRYAN, AND CURRENCY.

Former Senator Aldrich whom friend and foe
alike concede to have about as clear set of ideas
about currency and banking reform any man in
this country, has probably done more harm than
good by his discussion of the Glass-Owen measure
before the Astor House conference on currency re-
FORM He discussed Mr.. Bryan and attributed to him
an undue share of influence in making the measure
what it is. 1t is not apparent why appeal to preju
dice should be INDUCED at this time. The question
is not who drafted influenced the drafting Of this
measure so much whether the provisions drafted
into it are wise or unwise.
1t is curious fact that this bill has been con-
demned miscellaneously by one set of people who
think they see too much Aldrichism in it, and by an
other set who they detect too much Bryan
fatism in it. Bryan and Aldrich, in the popular mind
are as far apart economic essentials the poles
When the bill was first brought forward it will be re-
called, there much fear that it too much like
TIE old Aldrich Monetary Commission measure to
satisfy Bryan There was much anxiety to know
whether Bryan would stand for it. He did, and the
fact was hailed as evidence that he was willing to
sink minor differences in order that the Ad-
ministration of which he is very important part
light succeed in its program.
No sooner had Mr. Bryans Endorsement removed
from radicals minds the fear of Adrch influence,
than the other side went to ba and, using the Bryan
testimony ground for opposition protested that
there was too much Bryanism in the bill!
1t is safe guess that, with the bill standing ex-
actly as it does today, if Bryan had opposed and
Aldrich had favored it, their respective followers
would have followed bndly. The people who now
take Mr. Aldrichs word that the bill is populisc and
dangerous would, for the greater part, have taken
just as readily his that it an excellent
scheme for bettering money and banking con-
ditons Likewise, the people who now accept the
Bryan o. X as sound gospel would by vast majority
have seen moneypower control and plutocracy in it,
if Bryan had said they were there.
Altogether it is too bad that these elements of
mere prejudice should be introduced into the dis
cussion. Nobody is trying to make bad bill; every
body concerned in the matter we honestly believe is
entitled to credit for desire to make good But
they differ. Their differences make some rather non-
essential things look very big and vital There is
need for thorough and unprejudced examination.

THE SULZER STATEMENT.

Governor Suzer is eloquent but not convincing IN
the statement that he issued Immediately after his
formal removal from the executive chair. 1t IS I'M
possible to understand why, if he was able to dis
prove the testimony of Duncan Peck and Allan Ryan,
he did not issue statement and get the benefit
of the public sentiment that would thereby have been
created. He charges that these two told untruths
against him, and that Ambassador Morgenhau was
misled and tricked.
But as all along, he fails to state enough details
of fact and corroboration to make his defense con-
vincing. A high court of infamy," even, would
hardly have dared convict him, by what it is now
realized was rather a margin, if he had been
able to convince the outside public of his innocence.
Just the same objection must be urged against
the Suzer analysis Of financial transactions which in
voIved campaign funds. If all that Suzer now says
in this regard be rue it surely should have been said
earlier, and buttressed with corroborative showings
to sustain it before the public.
The SuIzer statement breathes fight, and it is to
be hoped that the promise of real revelations about
Murphy, Tammany, and the real inspiration of the
impeachment may be made good. A great mystery
yet cngs about many transactions in connection
with the whole affair. Sulzer says he was going 10
uncover vastly more of graft than has yet been
shown. Probably that is true, and probably it is the
real reason why he was impeached and removed.
But the important question now is whether he can
tell more, and can prove it.
Sulzer can make good his promise to help the
ublic and can do very much to rehabilitate himself
in its regard, if he is now prepared to contribute
something we'll worth while to the municipal cam
paign in New York city. He should be the more
moved to do this because on yesterday, incident to
the consummaton. of the case against him, betting
odds on the mayoraly for the first time turned
against Tammany. At no previous time had Mitchell
been backed at even money. Yesterday ten to nine
was offered ON him. The conviction and removal of
the governor has been decidedly unpopular thing
If it should result in progressive slump away from
Tammany in the city campaign; if that slump should
result in fusion victory; and if Sulzer should be
able to contribute something substantial to achieve
ment of that result-then indeed would Sulzer see
turning Of the tide of political misfortune.

7-INTERIOR DECORATING.
BY CELIA Il. HUSIK.

= INTERIOR decorating has become at
the present day a recognized pro-
fession with a widely extending field
Of work for the right man or woman.
Its scope is broad and includes not only
the various details of furnishing and
decoration, but often architectural de-
tails of the interior Of houses, such a.
arrangement Of windows, fireplaces, etc.
The person who wishes to take up this
work must have an fnbcrn artistic
taste. an eye for color and a natural
appreciation of harmony as applied TO
styles of furniture, hangings and other
accessories. He must have an. instinct
for the fitness Of things. While 1t II
true that some Of these details can be
acquired with experience. there must
be natural bent in the direction OF
interior decorating at the start
Ability as salesman Is also a very
important qualification to possess and
often makes for success in interior
decorating. The ffrst-class ali-around
decorator Is always successful sales
msn.
in interior decorating. An excelent
course is offered by the New York
School of Fine ana Applied Arts
Or a young man may take position
opportunity will be given him to handle
furnishings and hangings. BY taking a
course in interior decorating at the
same time he can prepare himself to
become an interior decorator. By grad
uaI advancement one may work him
self into the interior decorating depart
ent of a large store. where all the
opportunities for success are offered to
the right person.
The pay Of good interior decorators
varies greatly The earnings range any
where from about $50 per week up to
SO, 900 per year.

MExICANIZING CHlNA's REPUBLIC?

DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the statesman, hnancier, and
real organizer of the republican revolution in China,
has been arrested in Japan, charged with embezzle-
men of funds from the revolutionary treasury chest
The government of China is presumed of course to
stand back of the charge, and it is stated that he is
being held with the view to his possible return for
trial, if Japan will give him up. There being no
extradition treaty, it is not certain what may happen
II DR.. Sen, returned to the China in which the die
tatorship of President Yuan has now become about
as Republican" as the dictatorship of Huerta in
Mexico, would have approximately as good chance
for further service to his country as Francisco
Madero had after he fell into the power of his
assassns. 1t will be crime against civilization and
decency if he is turned to the ferocous venge
ance of those enemies who, in present control at
Pekng, in him the greatest obstacle to establish
ment of Yuan dynasty.

ANOTHER STEP IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Appointment of a majority of natives to member
ship on the Philippine Commission does not of
course give them full control of the government of
the islands. The United States is still sovereign and
is just responsible both to the Filipnos and the
world for the management of affairs it was before
What has been done is merely to take further
step in the direction that the American authorities
have been following all along. From the time when
peace was restored, the policy has been to help the
Filipinos to help themselves 1t has been an ex-
pertinent from the beginning. Future action will
be based on the results of that experiment.
The natives will be allowed to show what they
can do with larger measure of control, although
at best it cannot be conclusive showing, for the
government of natives by natives might be far
different thing if the power of the United States
which now backs them up withdrawn. Never
thelcss we shall have opportunity to look further
than we have been permitted to look heretofore.
In the meantime, it is only rashness to talk about
independence except as an indefinite possibility of
the future.

LAYING A MARITIME GHOST.

1t is part of the unwritten law and tradition of
the sea-therefore more sacred and more uniformly
observed than if it were written-that the COM
mander who loses his ship is not to be given another
Oddly, the rule is not applied in naval regulations
and practice ofmost countries but it does obtain in

Nothing has been accepted extenuation for
the loss or the grave injury of ship. However
blameless the captain however heroic his perform
ance, to lose his ship has been the unforgvable sim
The sailor before the mast and the financial manager
of the great owning corporation have united in ac-
cepting the ancient superstition that a man who
loses his vessel is thereafter hoodooed
1t is good to read that the Uranium line manage
ment is going to throw the silly superstition over
board and that Captain Inch is to be given another
ship as testimonial of appreciation for his splendid
conduct in the Volturno disaster. He deserves it if
ever hero did. 1t is hard and cruel law that
would make him doubly the victim of misfortune

particular for Congressman to do. 1t all cut out for
him. Mr.. Hobson doesn't think it ought to be cut
and dried quite much in detail. He is complaining
to the people back home about it; and we agree with
his complaints, too
As to absenteeism. The majority of men now
in the Senate, probably have fought their way there
from some less important office; from the House,
State governorship, something Of the sort. Most
of them, while engaged in their fights, were subjected
to that charge of absenteeism. They were
accused of neglecting one office in order to reach
for another.
The man who expects the people to rise up and
vote for him because he is truly good and great gets
fooled They vote for the man who goes after their
votes. Other men have always done it, and Hobson
has the same right to do it. 1t may not be COM
mendable, but it is no worse in Hobsons case than
in others ever since the beginnings of politics.
