Why did Mr.. Hobson stop with recount

Ryan 10 the campaign fund of Mr. IN
derwood when the chairman of ways and
means was a candidate for the Baltimore
nomination? Was he not aware of the
fact that MIR. Ryan has always been lib

and causes? Did he not know that on one
occasion Mr. Ryan bought in the demo-
cratic party at receivers sale. paid seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
the wreck, and has never been recon-

never dunned anybody for the money. or

Flying in a Gale.

Five aviators yesterday flew around
Manhattan Island in competition that
featured the meet of The AeronauticAl
Society i'll coInmemoraton of the first
successful flight by Wilbur Wright III a
power-driyen aeroplane ten years ago
The flight in itself was not exceptional,
but the conditions under which it was
accomplished made it of notable value
as marking distinct advance in practical
aviation. Thus it was appropriate that
the decennial anniversary of Wrights
first power fight should have demon
strated the possibility OF safe progress in
a high wind. 1t is estimated that the
wind averaged forty-three miles an hour
throughout the flight of sixty miles and
despite this condition and the bitter cold
that prevailed in the upper atmosphere
the winner of the race covered the course
in a little less than fifty-three minutes. or
better than n mile minute This speed
of wind kept the five machines under
severe strain throughout the flight and
their successful completion Of the course
proves 81 great advance in stability 1t is
notable that the winner of the race had
never before flown in a competition.

aviation depended not upon the man but
upon the machine, and that as soon as

For q week the nation has been base
hall mad business has been secondary.
The really important happenings or the
world have received but scant attention.
Questions of nationwide Importance
have been dwarfed to insignifcance' in
the public mind pending the decision as
to whether the Philadelphia Athletics
or the New York Giants should have the
team of ball players in the world. Many
there are to decry such hysteria, and
with some degree of reason. Yet who
shall say that this annual mama is
no+ more of a blessing than otherwise?
Under present high pressure methods of
work and living there Is need of a
periodic outlet, and this is afforded In
the rational game. Wholesome recre-
alton plays an important part in human
life. and without it the maximum of
efticiency cannot be attained.

Time to Kill the Fly Pest.
'om the Philsdelphia Press.

Kill every fly in sight. This Is the sio-
gan uttered by the department OF health
and public charities. Now is the time TO
hunt down the impudent enemy and re-
duce his forces not to say put a stop to
his miserable business of carrying poison
germs. About this season of the year the
fly gets chilly and slow. He hates the
breath of frost and seeks comfort indoors.
BY and by he will creep into any warm
crack of the boards and lodge there
through the winter. Swat these DOMESTIC
imps before they have the chance to lay
plans for the next summer and before
they have the chance to lay eggs. One
fy killed today means millions less flies
next season.

Mr.. Clayton does not come from sec

LAWYER and new law. or the strengthen

problem.
In this matter Mr.. Wilson shows that
he is proiting by his experience in the
White House. He took up the tariff al

Mr. McReynolds. as an official under the
Roosevelt administration, gave a good
deal of time to trust busting and ac-
quired some skill In the business. In
deed, It was the record he made at that
time more than anything else that at
tracted attention to him when Mr. Wilson
was considering the matter Of a. legal

Nor is II likely that when the trust
