Attacks on District Home Rule.

Gradually in the past few weeks the controlling
motive governing the attitude of certain members of
the House of Representatives toward the District Of
Columbia is being revealed. They are seeking to
make political spoils of the Offices large and smslf
of its government. They want TO extend the custom
which has made the Office of Recorder of Deeds a
plum with which political service is rewarded They are
advocating Representative Crosser's bill for munich
pal ownership OF public utilities because it will mean
more Spoils.
During the hearing on the Crosser bill at least
two members of the House District Committee be-
trayed chagrin at their failure to remove District
employees to make room for candidates of their own.
Last week Representative Thaddeus H. Caraway, of
Jonesboro. Ark, introduced two bills of the same
general purport, One proposes to repeal that pro-
vision of the law of 1873 which requires that the
civilian Commissioners shall be residents of the Dis
trct of Columbia, and the other provides that
residents be appointed to one-haf of the positions
under the District government Il pity these two
brilliant ideas did to the hedgng states
map from Jonesboro, Ark, the same day, so they
could have been embodied in bill in the national
archives; though coming in two spasms they serve
to emphasize the nature of the mild epidemic which
has seized upon Mr.. Caraway and few of his COL
leagues District Offices for Arkansans will probably
not become reality, but it will sound well in Jones'
boro, and may smooth Mr.. Caraways journey back
tc Washington.
The introduction of the two bills justify the ac-
vities of the District Home Rule Committee organ
lied primarily for the purpose of securing observance
of the law requiring that the Commissioners shall be
residents of the District 1t is unlikely that sufficient
votes can be mustered in the House to repeal this
wise and just provision of the law or even that it
will receive the approval of the District Committee

District government in the persons of two resident

Death Invades the Supreme Tribunal.

The Supreme Court of the United States loses by
death the wise and able counsel of Horace Harmon
Lurton, whose courageous and patriotic devotion to
duty during year of suffering from i'll health has
earned the countrys admiration. Appointed by Pres-
dent Taft in December 1910 he the fourth soldier
of the Confederate army to sit the Supreme bench.

career.
Through his death President Wilson is confronted
with the duty of making his first selection for the
Supreme bench At one time it was known to be
the ambition of former President Taft to occupy such
position. If he would accept appointment now it
would afford President Wilson an opportunity to add
another to the list of achievements of his admins

What happens is that when we common

Tanning the Air with a GyroscoPc.

The experiments of an American avia-
tor in Paris suggest that the gyToscope
may be the automatic stabilizer for
which all airmen have been seeking. He
arose from the Seine in waterplane
and when COO feet in the air he and his
mechanic stood erect; the mechanic
climbed to a point on the lower plane six
feet from the center Of gravity and then
changed his position to the tail. The
aeroplane remained stable through the
action of the gyroscope.
This wonderful instrument balanced by
the mysterious forces OF nature. has al
ready been useful in demonstrating the
motion of the earth. and II has been
adapted to serve the functions of a mar
iner's compass. unaffected by the mag
netic variations, and its potentialities,
as a stablilizer. have been proved on a
heavily loaded car running on a single
rail Even though the passengers are
all on one side, the determination Of the
gyroscope to revolve In the vertical
plane In which It was started is so strong
that II will balance the load. II the
Paris experiments continue It will soon
be known whether II can counteract the
force Of fierce hurricane attacking an
airship afioat. Then If II prove success
full. one Of the gravest perils Of flying will
disappear.-Philadelphi Ledger.

Intensive Farming.

An interesting feature of the crop report made
public this week is the fact that in the estimated yield
per of corn Pennsylvania leads all the States
with production of forty bushels Her rival
is Iowa, with yield of 3o5 bushels followed by Ohio
and Indiana with 383 bushels each. We do not hear
much in this State as in others of
seed selection, boys and girls corn clubs and
similar incentives to improved agriculture but it
is very evident that farmers letting useful
tricks escape them. Pennsylvania, largely noun
famous State will produce so much corn as many
Western prairie Commonwealths but her showing will
still be one to be proud of.-Philadelphia Record.

Stage Money.

It has been observed that stage money
must sometimes figure in the salaries that
stage performers receive. In a breach of
promise case, recently tried at New York,
IL Was shown that an actress who was
understood to be receiving H.OOO a week
was actually getting $3O0. out Of which
$50 was deducted for booking and press
agent fees. Still as the press agent was
giving her a salary OF sl.OOO. she could
hardly have begrudged the money she
paid him.-Springfield Republican

the country is so well equipped temperamentally and
by training for this high Office as William Howard
Taft Nature bestowed upon him all the qualities
of mind to fit him for the pinnacle of judicial emf
nence. Never in any sense politician, he IS none
the less patriot and statesman. As President he
gave his thought, and wisdom and energy for his
countrys welfare, and for this it owes him much,
If the people Of the Unhed States could have their

Supreme bench almost with one voice.

WHY a Brief Visit?

The latest proposal in Congress to discourage in
ternatona marriages by taxing the incomes of heir
esses with foreign husbands IS per cent is altogether
too mild Confscation of the principal is the least
penalty that can satisfy the wounded pride of Gin
cinnaans who have missed both the heiress and the
cash. Perhaps the operation of the law might be re-
sricted Cincinnati since that is the only city that
seems to be worried over the pranks of Cupid. Or
perhaps best of all the matter might be settled by
brief visit of the fool killer to the National Capital

When Representative Fitzgerald accused Repre-
sentative Humphrey of talking through his hat,
adding "rhat the peculiar makeup of the Eentlemans
topagraphy--if that expression properly expresses
what have in mind-enables him to talk more easily
through his hat than any other man in this House,
there was laughter and applause on the Democratic
side. Mr.. Fitzgerald must be great humorist to be
able TO make the sedate Democrats of the House
laugh but the cold type fails to convey the point OF
the joke, although the crushing force of the argu-
ment is apparent even to the hasy reader Possibly
there is some peculiarity in Mr. Humphreys personal
appearance that made Mr.. Fitzgeralds reference so
funny or possibly that expression did not properly
express what he had in mind"
