natures to the referendum petition
were fraudulent and were written by
the same person and hence the whole
proposal to refer was tainted with
fraud.
Unless the legislature can find
some way to stop these wholesale
frauds in initiative and referendum Pc
titions the people will have absolute
ly no confidence in this form of en-
acting laws and the courts will neces-
sarily throw them out. The scheme
has many weaknesses and inconsist-
encies but the worst efature of the
whole business is the frauds which
are attaching to these petitions. 1t

themselves incapable Of giving the

AEaIAL WARFARE.

Tucked away in the maze of war
news the other day was the brief men,
tion of battle between French and
German aviators, the Teuton birdman
killing his enemy while both were
ION the wing" The heavier-th than air
fighting craft is today on trial as a
weapon Of war and there will be few
more thrilling accounts of battles
than those to be fought in cloudland
The great war will be one Of three
dimensions. 1t is to be fought BY
sea, by land and by air and the Greek
histories will BIZ obliged to revise their
phrase, victories by land and by
sea-" to include the skies.
The possibilities of the aeroplanc
and the dirigible are SO tremendous
and have been 30 little tried for pur-
poses Of conflict, that one cannot i'm
agine the consequences or the value
of the air craft. Aeroplanes were
used to some extent in the Balkan
wars, but the development has been
so rapid since that time and the ma
lions involved in the present crisis
have taken such an interest in the
possibilities of the aeroplane that the
attempt to make military use of this
air weapon in the past will look puny
beside the great Elects" or "flocks
Of the present warning powers.
Conservative estimates by authori-
ties in Europe are that there will BE-
1,260 airships of different makes,
sizes, shapes and possibilities in the
Austrian Servian German Russian
French conflict. Like the forces of
sea and the forces of land these forces
of the air are being manager scien-
tifically. The pilots are flying by in
strument, not by guesswork and how
formidable they will become depends
upon offensive and not merely scout
ing ability. If an aeroplane can fly
at height out of the zone Of. the
enemy's sky fire, and drop bombs into
camps and arsenals, the havoc
wrought cannot be imagined.
The risk from overhead must be
met by all of the warning factions.
The nation that can provide sky-forts
will have an advantage. England's
var authorities discussed the plan
several months ago. The British Of
icers recognized the risk from over
head and decided to build series of
watch towers equipped with quick-fir-
ing guns of Especial design"-this be-
ing understood to mean guns capable
IF creating lively zone Of fire over
head.
When one realizes that it was only
twenty years ago when H. G. Wells
wrote fantastical stories of aerial
warfare (which at that time we trans
ferred to future more or less re-
note) it would appear that we mod
,rns are continually catching up with
ourselves.-Colorado Springs Gazette.

NATIONAL DEBT INCREASING.

1t is interesting to know that the
various state governments of this
country, even though they may be ex-
traxaEant and proHlignte at times,
have a much smaller total debt than
the United States itself.
Recent figures compiled by the de-
partment Of commerce in Washing
ton show that the states of the union
have total debt of s345, 100000, or
q per capita debt of s3.47. The Unit
cd States has. however, total net
debt over and above its sinking fund
assets and cash in the treasury of
$l.02S, 100000, or per capita indebt-
edness of $10.59.
There are only two states in the
union, Arizona and Massachusetts,
which have a larger per capita state
debt than the per capita United
States debt.
The national debt is now slightly
larger than it was in 1907, when it
was the lowest ON record. $10.05 per
capita. On the whole, the national
debt has been steadily decreasing
since the Civil war. At that time it
was an enormous burden, being
$2.766, ,000, 900, or an average of $79.44
for every inhabitant of the country
at that time.
This is big country, and barring
wars or excessive expenditures caus-
ing bond issues, the public debt should
steadily decrease. But it takes pay
ments of over s9O,00O,o00 to show a
decrease of 81 per capita in the debt

The Sun a Poor Clock
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

Time must be added when SIN

The maximum times to be added

"Why is a sun dial?"
A mean time clock, that is, a
clock regulated to show average
time, is based on the ideu OF tn,
sun being on the equator ano
moving at precisely with the real
average rate of the true sun in
its apparent orbit-the real orbit
Of the earth. But astronomers
with accurate instruments do not
secure absolute time from the
transits of the huge sun across
their meridian. but with far more
accuracy by observing transits OF
minute needle points, the images
of stars across spider threads in
the focal planes OF their transit
telescopes.
The sun never reaches the zen
18th in the United States. But,
through great SOsmical causes,
these maxima as given above are
than salves subiected to secular
changes. All of which ought to
make It apparent that sun dials
are practically useless.
