A Human Skyrocket.

A man who has been making money
for some time past risking his life in
the most foolhardy feats conceivable,
climbing up the front walls OF sky
scrapers, leaping off high places with
parachutes. standing on his head on lofty
hagpoles and otherwise defying the law
of gravitation-chiefiy for the benefit of
the motion picture Aim makers-yester-
day further demonstrated his intrepidity
by incasing himself in a steel rocket of
giant dimensions carrying 800 pounds of
powder. and giving the word to touch of
the fuse that was supposed to start the
thing roaring skyward. At the top Of
his flight he was to emerge from the
rockets head and release q parachute to
float safely to the earth. leaving the
steel cylinder and twenty-foot timber
constituting the frame OF the rocket to
fall wheresoever 1t might. Perhaps for
tunately for the safety Of those living
where the heavy debris might have fall

caused a great flame. and the man leap

The Growth of a Legend.
From the New York Times

y TOM New 1OFk lines.
The militant suffragette muddle in Eng
land has reached point which SHOULD
inspire writer's Of fiction like the in
ventors of Sherlock Holmes and Arsene
Lupin. The development OF this gro
tesque comedy seems to reveal an or
ganization of forces opposed to society
such as the criminal classes are shown
to possess in fiction. We have been in
clined to believe that the historical wom-
en- were not guilty of all the crimes
charged to them. In the matter Of the
attempted destruction of a suburban
house rented by the chancellor OF the
excheQuer, for instance, and the burning
Of certain buildings the evidence is not
clear. But the London police yesterday
reported the discovery of veritable suf-
fragettes den in a decent Kensington
neighborhood, resembling the thieves
dens which we encounter SO frequently
In fiction. Ostensibly an artists studio,
this place is said to contain an assert
ment of implements for cutting telegraph
wires bottles full of corrosive fluid, false
Identification plates for automobiles, su e
costing projected crimes that might, in
deed, '.stagger humanity" and tools for
breaking windows. Windows are easily
broken without special tools, and the
other articles might appertain to pop
ular illustrators props" to be used in
composing pictures. We feel no surer of
the suffragettes' den than we do of the
charges Of arson.

appointment as Attorney General had
been severely criticised by leading demo-
cratic newspapers. Their objection wan
based on Mr.. Olney's standing at the
bar, which was that OF adviser of large
corporations. They feared he would not
proceed with vigor against the trusts
under the Sherman law.
But upon promotion to the State De-
apartment Mr. Olney showed a fine grasp
or foreign affairs, and made more repu-
tation than previously. In fact, had he
remained in the Department Of Justice
he would probably have left Office with
out distinction He did nothing as At
torney General to attract attention ex-
cept to do nothing. He was criticised
for a lack of energy against the trusts.
But as Secretary of State he exhibited
energy. and in the Venezuelan matter
great ability.
There may be in Mr.. McCombs ike
capacity for diplomatic work. Certainly
he has done much during his brief service
in politics to suggest the diplomat. His
task last year, both before and after the
Baltimore convention, called for, and re-
ceived, many nice adjustments. The
born negotiator was disclosed in many
things he did to get and keep Wilson
men together. The rival booms were in
capable hands, and had he lacked skill
he would have lost his fight.
But it might not be advisable for Mr..
McCombs to accept the French mission
for little while, and as a move
in the settlement of some matter not
connected with our foreign service. The
post is too important for that. II he
goes to Paris he should remain. 1t is a
time of unrest and many possibilities in
Europe and the American representa-
tives ON the continent should study the
situation and keep close track of devel-
opmenrs And for such work Mr.. Nc
Combs, although new even to our do
nestle affairs, may possess excellent
qualifications.

Double-Deck Cars.

The local public will be interested to see
the new double-deck car that it is pro-
posed to install on one of the District
lines. Undoubtedly IL such a car can be
devised as to permit quicker entrance
and exit and afford larger number of
seats for passengers it will be beneficial
to the public. But there is danger in
such type of car to increase the con-
gestion at the stopping points, now al
ready SO great as materially to delay
the operation Of the cars The center en-
trance cars now in use on some OF the
lines here are certainly not an improve
ment in the matter of speedy loading and
unloading. On the contrary they are less
efficient in this respect than the pay-as-
you-enter or pay-within types, in which
there is no jostling between the incom-
ing and outgoing crowds. II the double
deck car takes on all it's passengers
through the center as in the case Of the
latest type here, the congestion is cer-
tain to be greatly Increased. 1t is stated
that access to the roof Is to be had by
means of stairways at the two ends. If
these stairways come. down inside Of the
car. with the sole door of entrance and
exit in the center, there is great danger
of injury to the passengers in case Of a
panic or any exceptional crowding. But
IL with the middle entrance type the roof
is gained and left by stairways outside
Of the car obviously two conductors will
be needed. In London double-deck cars
are In use on the municipality owned tram
ways. but on these lines the conductor
usually makes his way through the cars
for the collection OF fares. In some in
stances the fares are given up on en-
trance. The London traction system,
however, is operated on the basis of seats
for all passengers. SO that the dense
packing Of the cars that often occurs here
is unknown there. The roofs Of the new
type cars proposed for Washington will
certainly have to be run on the seat-for-
each-passenger principle, for standing
places on the upper deck would be dan
gerous. Taken altogether. this innovation
involves complications and it will be i'm
portant to note the manner in which the
experimental car operates. II 1t will give
better service with less congestion than
the types of cars now in use it will be
heartily welcomed.

The offer OF the British mission to Mr.
Olney Is held up as a triumph OF the
merit system Of appointment, while that
of the French mission to Mr.. McCombs
is reprobated as a sample of the spoils
system.
1t is true that Mr.. Olney Is associable
with the work OF diplomacy by reason
&c his experience in the State Depart
ment. while Mr.. McCombs has never had
any experience In such work at all. and
except for his labors as political manager
for Mr.. Wilson would not have been
thought Of for diplomatic work.
But there was q day when MI. Olney
had had no experience In diplomacy. He

Express Companies and Parcel Post

With reference to the discovery that
express companies are using the parcel
post for the carriage of small articles in
trusted to them, at lower rate than
they receive from the shippers, attention
has been called to the fact that under
an act of Congress passed in 1916, and
never repealed, but on the contrary re-
enacted with a strengthening Of the PEN
alties in 1910, all such companies are
prohibited from carrying letters or pack
cts which are mailable under the postal
law. 1t being now possible, In accordance
with the parcel post law, to send packet
of up to eleven pounds in weight by the
mails. it is unlawful, according to the act
of 1876. for any private corporation or
individual to carry, Tor consideration,
any parcel up to that weight. OF course,
anything under that weight that is of an
unavailable character. such as chemicals,
explosives. ETC., may be transported by
an express company. but as the law
stands today any express company car
rying packages of less .than eleven pounds
renders itself liable to prosecution and
punishment
This statute of 1916 does not affect the
use of the parcel post by the express COM
pany. There is no law against the utiliza-
ton of the mails by the express COM
pany, whatever may be its charge to
the shipper. But itis important that the
public should know that under the law
the express companies are prohibited from
engaging in q line Of transportation
which. apart from the question of terms,
is in competition with the government.
1t is possible under the statute OF 1916, 1t
is pointed out. for the express companies
to accept packets under eleven pounds
on condition that those packets carry
postage stamps to the amount OF the fee
which the government would collect II 1t
were undertaking the carriage, such
stamps to be in addition to whatever fee
may be paid to the company. The only
reason for thus using the express service
would be to obtain from 1T the greater in
surance of valuable article. The post
office only guarantees safe carriage up
to the limit of registration, whereas the
express company, scaling its fees in ac-
cordance with the degree of risk, assumes
the security of the package while in its
custody. Those who wish to use the ex-
press service for the sake of this guar
antee of safety must pay the postage in
addition to the express charge, accord
ing to this virtually forgotten law.
The Postmaster General will probably
order an examination Of the statutes with
reference to the relations between the
express companies and the post, and will
doubtless find the act of 1S45 Of interest
in this connection. 1t is important. IL he
should ascertain after reference to the
law officers that this statute is today
applicable in the light of the new parcel
post law. that the public be fully In
formed SO that there will be no occasion.
save for the sake of security. to use the
express service in the transport of any
thing within the limit of the parcel post.

The Row in New York.

Gov. Sulzer is in warm water. But not
warmer than he had reason to expect
The man who had been supported at the
polls by ;. illiam r. Hearst Charles f..
Murphy, and anti-Hearst and anti Murphy
democrats upstate. must have taken Of
flee with some sense of the difffcHlties
ahead So experienced a politician must
have known that he could not hope
to hold such support together long.
1t is now disintegrating. Mr.. Hearst
has taken his dolls and tea things and
gone home. He will play with Gov. Sui
zer no longer. He Is disappointed in him.
The governor is not. in Mr. Hearst's
opinion, meeting his obligations to.the pub
lie.
Mr. Murphy. it is reported, will soon
follow suit. He had not the claims Mr.
Hearst had. for he had never been dis
tinctly Sulzer man. MIR. Hearst had
He had pumped for Mr.. Sulzer before
polling day last fall Mr.. Murphy had
been anti-Sulzer until the action of the
democratic state convention forced him
to fall in line. But when he fell in line
he did SO with good effect on the Sulzer
fortunes. and he expected a reward. He
now complains of short measure.
Some of Gov Sulzer's friends are cheer
ing him on, and telling him that if he has
the White House in view he is on the
right track Let him stay broke with
both Hearst and Murphy, and manage to
break as soon as possible with all others
now in his train who lean to either one
or other of those two politicians.
If Gov. SulZer is wise he will do moth
ing at this time with the White House
in view. The present occupant Of that
mansion is not yet fairly settled 1t is not
known whether his purposes are for a.
four or an eight year sojourn. He may
offer for second term. The chances are
that he will il the first is a success. Why,
then. should Gov. Sulzer. or any other
democratic leader. be figuring today on
1916? Why is not his first duty to build
up within the scope of his influence the
party's fortunes, and leave the supreme
reward for services rendered to be de-
termined when the proper time comes?
OF course, Gov. SuIzer wants success in
his Office. and will strive for it in his own
way. 1t may profit him to antagonize
some of the men whose support he solic-
tied and accepted last year, but such
capital will not figure in his assets for
1916. He could not use it to displace
Mr.. Wilson IL the latter wins applause as
President, and it would not be sufficient
to elect him President If he were nomi-
mated as the result of the casting of Mr..
Wilson into the discard. For If this ad-
ministration fails what will the demo-
cratic nomination in 1916 be worth to
anybody?

Fishers Experience and Warning
From the Chicago Record Herald.

Congress has done little or nothing in
the last two years TO further the cause OF
constructive conservation. Taft and his
Secretary of the Interior during that
time. Walter l.. Fisher, who has just re-
turned to his home city and given an in
teresting account of his stewardship, ar
gued and urged, but in vain. Mr.. Fisher
does not exaggerate when he declares
that conservation, especially as regards
water power, will be the hardest Ques-
ton before the new administration. 1t is
hard and knotty not only because OF self
ish opposition to conservation or proper
utilization of national assets. but also be-
cause OF honest and wide dinerences OF
oninion an to certain applications of prin-
cipIes generally accepted: and these diff
ferences are largely sectional.
