come to grief in consequence, hut in the
main the pilots Of the aircraft have been
more advanced than their apparatus.
The decision of the Massachusetts, In
stitution to establish an aeronautics course
indicates that the machine has been vir-
tually evolved. Even at this time q COM
bination of aeroplane and boat is in the
course Of trial that is designed for q
transoceanic flight, by way of the Azores.
successful accomplishment Of this feat
will go far to demonstrate that the
heavier than-air apparatus is now a prac-
ticable device, capable of doing real work
and competing with the more familiar
modes of transport.
1t is not difficult to feresee the day
of the common use of airplanes in the
transaction of the worlds everyday
business. For the carrying Of mails. for
the. swift sending Of packages, and even
for the personal transportation of peo-
pie. the machines already evolved have
demonstrated their effectiveness. 1t re-
mains to mae them secure against
all but the extreme violence OF
the atmosphere. and to this end so
called stabilizers are being worked
out and apparently are proving their
worth Accidents continue to hap
pen. due to the taking of desperate
schances. and doubtless before the air
plane is accepted as a perfectly trust
worthy device it will have left a long
record of sacrifices. But 1t Is to be borne
in mind that the percentage of mishaps
is diminishing. as the successful use of
the airplane is now almost constant in
all parts Of the world.

quent criticism Of the plans for dis
bursting large sums of the money ap-
propriated by Congress. In other
words. the public has not received full
value for the governments expendi-
lures.
Critics of the bill will mention the
Baltimore platform. which condemned
republican extravaganza and promised
economy. But the Baltimore platform
Is not in the best of odor. Now the
democracy obeys 1t, and now 1t doesn't.
Now you see it. and now you don't.
Who knows but that the economy
plank was accepted with as little ex-
animation as some democrats declare
the canal tolls plank was?
Then those democrats who proved SO
sensitive on the subject of subsidy
when the canal tolls question was be-
fore the Senate may be tainted with
their willingness to accept subsidy in
the shape of river and harbor i'm
provements If free passage for Amer
can coastwise ships through the
Panama canal would be a subsidy,
what is free passage of steamboats, on
rivers and through locks kept in con-
dition by the government? At Panama
the monopolistc power of the great
transcontinental railroads. American
and Canadian. BY keeping our rivers
in navigable form we prevent the rail-
roads from imposing their own figures
on shippers. Subsidy? If one is sub
sidy. 50 is the other. And, call it what
you please. it is a capital thing.
But let this bill be judged on its
merits. Never mind about the cam
paign cry of economy. which never
means anything and never Is redeemed
Never mind about those democrats who
under the New Leadership reversed
themselves on the canal tolls issue.
Legitimate and necessary improvement
of rivers and harbors-particularly
great streams like the Ohio, the Mis-
souri,. the Mississippi. the Red, the Co
lumbia and others-makes a strong de-
mand, and Congress should heed 1t. If
unworthy items have been forced in,
cut them out. And the Senate should
not hurry with such important work.

Summer and the Session.

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Williams
pledged himself to the Presidents trust
program. He is willing to remain in
Washington and fight it out en- the
Presidents line if it takes all summer
That is the fighting spirit made famous
by Gen. Grant
The Missouri democrats in the House
have given the President a similar as
surance over their signatures. They, too
want the trust question disposed of at
this session. and will help maintain q
quorum for the purpose.
1t Is true that considered from the
party standpoint. 1t Is the duty OF. the
democrats to supply the quorum. Re-
sponsibility for legislation Is on them.
But there Is a higher standpoint; and that
requires the republicans and the bull
moosers to remain and help shape the
legislation. Were they to run away and
leave everything to the democrats they
could not excuse themselves if the meas
ures passed proved defective. Their crit
icism would be answered by the inquiry,
why did you not stay on the job and
voice your views In timer
1t is suggested that an all-summer ses-
sion will show thin Senate and thin
House; that whatever is done will be the
the Importance of the business is consid
cred. Some legislators have gone, and
others are going. to Europe. Some are at
home mendins fences which are in a
sad state of unrepair. Some while still
in Washington are limp, and Indifferent
as to whether school keeps or not
This as the session lengthens should ap-
pear in detail in the Record. Roll calls
should show the whereabouts and the
business Of absentees. II Senator X is In
Europe for pleasure or on private busi-
ness, let the fact be stated II Represent
alive Y. is at home wrestling with the
foe about denomination, let that be re-
corded. II Senator or Representative T.
is in Washington, but inattentive to the
business of Congress and absent and un-
paired at roll calls. let that be shown
Then the country will know where to
place some of the responsibility II things
go wrong.
Some criticism Of the President ascribes
his unyielding spirit in this matter to
mere pride Of opinion. That view may
do him injustice. He may be considering
as others are doing what the effect will
be on Congress If the November elections
go against the democracy. He may be-
lieve that he Is playing good politics by
using the power he possesses at this time
Congress now Is his to command. Con-
sress in December may not be SO COM
placent.
The President is striking while the iron
is hot. Congress is now in hand. If he
loses in the coming strugsle-and he is
pre- eminently the issue-he may not be
able to have his way In future at all.
Congress in December may take up it's
duties as coordinate branch Of the
government.

Roots Service q National Asset.

From The Philadelphia Ledger.
It will be a national misfortune should
Senator Elihu Root refuse to be q candi-
date for reelection. Were he to become
a candidate and be defeated It would
prove a lamentable commentary upon
the capacity OF New York state to gov
ern its affairs with credit and put at
the same time a stigma upon the whole
nation. Mr.. Root measures up to the
full standards OF craftsmanship set by
the great public men Of the past. In

tory. he would have been a distinct and
effective addition.

The Art Of Sailing.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Shifting canvas SO as to utilize the
blow Of the wind for driving ships
upon the water is one of the very
earliest of the arts through which man
has continued to utilize the forces OF
nature. When steam power came into
use the sailing craft was at the very
highest stage Of its development. The
stately four master, spreading a score
of sheets to the wind. was queen Of the
waters a century ago. With the multi
plication Of driven ships and,
within the last decade or so, the
amazing substitution Of the internal
combustion gasoline engines for sails
upon vessels Of the small-tonnage
class raises the query as to whether
the sailors craftsmanship Is not soon
to be numbered among the lost arts. 1t
begins to look as though the sailing
ship and the horse might go out to-
[gether.

WIRE STRETCHED
ABOUT COURT HOUSE
3. A. SATTERFiELD E. co. DONATE
MATERIAL-MOVEMENT TO
EXTEND WORK.

Under the able direction of Judge
Mcknight, the wire is being stretch
ed around portion of the court house
today. The posts have been up for
some time, but the day is the first
time that the weather has been favor
able for completing the job of putting
on the wire. All the material was do
mated through the kindness OF B. A..
Satterfield & Co. The erection of the
fence at the four entrances of the
court house will prevent the tramp
ing of some parts of the yard by WIS.,
itors to the county mansion.
A movement is on foot to put wire
clear around the court house and alb
olutely fence off the public from tres
passing on the grass. Judge Nc
Knight is the prime mover, and he
says that If it were done, he would
plant the yard in flowers and other
plants that would add much to the at.
Effectiveness of things. Such a thing
is absolutely impossible at present,
as the grass is tramped underfoot by
the hordes that insist on walking on
it instead of staying on the street.
