And the wonderful part OF his perform

Luckey's big plane.
Washington Bridge was the obstacle OF
the race. II banked the riotous nor

thousand feet. Even Luckey's powerful
engine could hardly cross this barrier.
All climbed $500 feet before they could
get through the vertical wall Of air.
One OF the monoplanes carried out OF

Mercer street police station, and for
time Lieutenant Finn was uneasily pre-
paring for a disastrous fall into the city.
But the airman mastered the wind and
worked his way back toward the river.

Alonzo Blair instructed the jury to
dismiss the case against DR. William

A QUESTION OF DEMOCRACY.

The Madisonan takes The Darling
Democrat to task for wanting to be
shown in regard to the authorship OF
the Democratic press matter to be sent
out from Madison There is II reason
for care in this regard. The pure food
law does not apply to politics; and
party labels are not always dependable.
For instance: Ex Senator Bailey Dem
ocrat, and ex Speaker Cannon, Re
publican, preach very much the same
political doctrine. They use different
words; but in spirit their utterances are
the same And right here in Wiscon-
sin there is most striking similarity
between the lamentations in the Jeffer
son County Union, Republican, and the
editorial articles in The Madisonian
Democrat. 1t is plainly evident that
neither Editor Hoard nor Editor Som.
mers feels the thrill of the great demo
cratic movements of the time.
Both The Darlington Democrat and
The Mineral Point Democrat may pub
lish the Democratic press matter all
right but The Madsonian is hardly
warranted in calling in question their
Democracy because they face the fu
ture and not the past,
Having raised the question Of Democ
racy, it might be well for Editor Som
mers to declare his position on the big
political issue in Wisconsin, namely:
the water power question. Is he for or
against the Husting law
Democrats of this twentieth century
must not only bark back to Jefferson
and other Democratic fathers for funda
mental principles; but it IL up to them
to apply those principles to present day
problems. Real Democracy is both
progressive and practical. 1t does not
serve special interests. 1t promotes the
public welfare.
