THE TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT.

In case Lieut.. Porte makes a sue
cessful flight across the Atlantic the
question is asked. where will the
hOnors go? The answer is easy. They
will be divided between Great Britain
and the United States A citizen of
the former will have the fame, but
a citizen Of the latter will have made
it possible.
Interest in the attempt is Of course
worldwide. The flying machine has
suddenly become a universal utility.
Most OF the nations Of the world have
encouraged experiments in construc-
ton AID fight and the war depart
ments of the larger powers at least
are equipped with aeroplane fleets.
The orient as well as the occident is
navigating the air and the competition
in achievement is intense. Russia has
built the largest and most powerful
aeroplane in the world. The Joint at
tempt Of Great Britain and the United
States will be watched with an interest
from which jealousy viii not be en-,
tirely absent, and success will be en-
wed though applauded.
Up to this time the signs are propi-
tioaLs- The southern route, via the
Azores and the Spanish coast. has been
wisely chosen Nature seems to have
allied herself to the enterprise by pro-
viding these two resting places. While
about il nature might have made the
conditions easier by making the sta
tiOns more numerous. but the ingenu-
ity OF man has adapted the means to
the demands. TIE Curtiss machine is
constructed for long flights. 1t has
great sustaining power and according
TO the scientific calculations OF the
builder is equal to the task.
The first flight viii cover a distance
Of 1928 miles and. according 10 the
calculations will consume twenty
hours. This will bring Lieut.. Porte TO
the Azores. From there TO Vigo.
Spain. the distance is g63 miles, which
Is TO be travelled in sixteen hours. The
last leg OF the voyage. from Vieo 10
Plymouth. Eng. is distance OF $40
miles for which ten hours are al
lowed According TO these calculations
the total actual flying time will be
forty-six hours. well within the time
limit Of seventy hours prescribed
by Lord Northcliffe. who offered a
prize of $4,000 for the successful ac-
complishment or the feat

WHY CLAFLIN FAILED.

The first cause assigned for the
failure Of the Clahin dry goods house
was the new tariff. That was pO-
litical. The causes assigned after in
vestigation are an over extension Of
notes. refusal OF the banks TO extend
further credit and most remarkable
OF all. that New York is no longer
the jobbing center in dry goods.
The Clafiin company has been in
business for more than 20 years. The
cOmpany's name is a familiar one all
over the country. It has until this
time successfully weathered all the
storms Of business. It would in all
probability have weathered this one
but for the fact that the foundation
upon which il so firmly stood for
nearly three-quarters OF a century,
the supremacy Of New York as the
dry goods jobbing center OF the coun-
try. is crumbling.
The country has grown away from
New York. 1t has become too big for
a common center. New centers have
sprung up. In its jobbing trade the
country has become largely section
allied. Each Of the big cities has
taken a section away from New York
until practically all the great city has
left are the northwestern states and
the Atlantic coast.
With the overextension Of its bust
ness, the contraction OF it's territory
and the consequent straining of its
credit. the crash became inevitable.
With the aid OF banks and its COM
mercial connections It is expected the
great house of Clafiin will recover
from it's present difficulties. but it
cannot hope 10 regain the prestige il
once enjoyed. That has gone with
the territory which has slipped away
from il. 1t must accommodate its
business adventures to the area to
which ii has been reduced by che
growth Of business In the middle and
far west.
Under any circumstances it would
have been ridiculous to attribute the
Clafiin failure to the influence Of the
tariff There is nothing in that which
adversely affects the JObbing trade.
on the contrary it is calculated to
help the business of distributing
goods to the retail trade.

the undoubted fact that the president
is powerful
One perfectly evident reason is that
the president is the leader OF a domi-
nant political party. II that party is
TO accomplish anything il must follow
a leader, and the majority is Loyalty
following the president on ali part~
measures. What is interpreted as the
power OF the president, therefore. has
behind II the power OF an organized
and disciplined party. The dominance
of the presidents views Is none the
less Calling 10 republicans and pro-
gressives because its strength is really
party strength, but il is a very differ
ent thing from personal domination.
II is also a much wholesomer thing.
because in the long run the president
cannot command the strength OF the
party without the assent of the voters
who make up the party.
Everyone knows that If the mem
bers of congress believed the president
was urging a course contrary TO the
wishes of the people they would not
follow him. Their duty and their po-
litical futures would combine To force
a different course upon them. and if
they could not make the president see
things their way they would desert
him, end the administration would find
itself as lonesome as Pres. Taft was
in the last days of his tenure oil office.

party with a real principle and a real
mission. Up to this time the pro-
gressives have had no opportunity TO
identify themselves. Roosevelt has
been the whole thing. He has ruled
as automatically as the car of Russia
or Huerta. He has constituted him
self the head and front OF the party
and the body has blindly followed.
If the progressive party has no
higher purpose. no broader concep-
ton Of the mission Of a political party
than the election of a certain indi-
vidual to the presidency there is small
excuse for it's existence. 1t is not suf-
nation be left to the will or the whims
of one man. A party, to command
respect or to accomplish good. must
represent something more than thu
ambition of an individual. 1t must
of itself inspire the confidence of the
people.
1t is obvious that as long as Col.
Roosevelt remains the stock candidate
of the progressive party for the presi-
dency the party itself can have no
viii OF its own. The Rooseveltian
rule is absolute or not at all. as he has
indicated in the Perkins affair. II the
party is to have Roosevelt as it's leader
the party must obey him and ask no
questions. Rather a humiliating stu
alton for free American citizens. we
submit.
From the beginning AR. Perkins has
been a paradox as a progressive. His
affiliations are contrary 10 the reforms
which the party promises to effect.
If Roosevelt should be elected, a far
fetched fancy, Mr.. Perkins would con-
stitute TO his kind an assurance that
nothing would be done to hurt them.

EVERYBODY SING.

Ten thousand voices joining on a
warm summer evening in the center
of a city in such fine old tunes as THE
Old Oaken Bucket" MY Old Ken
lucky Home" "Auld Lang Syne" and
America" with a massed band lead
ing. must have made the welkin ring.
Folks did that in Philadelphia the
other night. And liked it. And will
do it again. Once a week. so the orig
inator of this impromptu peoples
chorus announces.
Nothing excels song as a medium of
fellowship. The hymns are what you
remember longest after you've gone
to church. The songs at school or
college remain among the treasured
.recollectiOns. Hardly any company of
human beings ever get really thawed
out unless they sing together.
Why not an informal peoples cho-
rus in this town. Bet you if the band
would start it in the park it would
make a hit.

A WONIAN,S SPITE.

Down east. in the town Of Salem,
where witches were burned. two wom-
en-, living side by side, fell out and
one built spite fence. Nine feet
high she built it, of great rough boards,
completely shutting off the view of the
street from her neighbours window.
The woman whose view was thus
obscured, full of Puritan indignation,
hired a lawyer and went into court.
A master in equity was appointed.
After he had heard the testimony and
viewed the obstruction in person. he
made his award The plaintiff it to
get SIS damages.
Which shows, among other things.
how elusive justice is. Fifteen dollars
for having to look at a spite fence all
your life.
But the real damage is something
which no court could measure, any
how. The one who suffers the worst
monument to her i'll feeling; and the
next to her among the sufferers are
the little children of Salem who daily
have thrust before them this ugly
token OF the petty WEAKNESSES of
which grown-ups are sometimes ca
pabIe.
A fit OF temper, with a scrape and
then sunshine, are quite human. But
to build a crouch into a permanent
memorial is more than a passing
weakness-it is a crime against society.

AS THE RECORD PROVES

Without going into the merits or
dement's OF the antitrust legislation
enacted by the house, one fact COM
mands attention.
The vote by which the three meas
ures making up the administration
program were passed, was not a party
vote. But one progressive voted
against the Clayton bill. The rest,
together with 43 republicans. voted
for it. Eight republicans and four
democrats voted against the Rayburn
bill. All Of the progressives voted
for it. The Covington bill was passed
without a record vote.
Mr.. Roosevelt has announced that
his campaign against the Wilson ad-
ministration' will be an attack on its
tariff and trust legislation. In both
the administration has commanded
almost as large a percentage OF pro-
gressive as of democratic votes.

lative record Of one party in attack

A PRosPERING INDUSTRY.

While local capital was being in
vested in the Wheeling Sheet & Tin
Plate company the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer and other preachers of calam-
ity were emitting their lOudest walls
about the dire results which would
follow democratic tariff reductions.
The tin plate industry, the largest
single industry in the First congress
sional district, was the special OBJ
ject of their tender solicitude. A re-
duction or removal Of the tariff on
tin plate would completely destroy it.
1t could not survive a reduction; 1t
really needed more protection than
the Payne-Aldrich law gave it.
We recall the dOleful word pic
lures of smokeless smoke stacks, of
tin mills boarded up. of tin workers
idle and hungry. Those who are in
fluenced in even the slightest degree
by the Intelligencers political prOphe-
cies will distinctly remember the
creepy" feeling they experienced
when they read its articles on the
recall the sympathy they felt for 10
cal stockholders who invested in the
w. S. & T.. Z. Co., which would have
a big new plant idle on its hands un-
til the unpatriotic, industry destroy-
ing democratic party was driven from
power.
Happily for this community, and
for the First congressional district
none of the evils so glibly forecasted
by the calamity howlers have ar
rived. Notwithstanding the dreaded
tariff bill has been in operation for
many months. The tin plate indus
try, which was TO be hit first and
hardest, seems to be prospecting. The
Wheeling Sheet and Tin Plate com
pany'S stockholders are in no hurry
to unload their shares. II any are

running steadily, and il is rumored
that the company cOntemplates build
