Aeronautic Science.

Aviation has definitely become a science.
having advanced within very few years
from a dangerous and doubtful fad to
a commanding position among human ac-
tivities The latest evidence of this de
velopment is afforded by the fact that
the Massachusetts Institute of TechnoI-
oey one of the leading scientific institu-
tons in this country, has organized a
department Of aeronautics. which is de-
signed to teach students the principles
of air navigation. the mechanics of the
devices for the utilization of the air cur
rents for transport, the atmospheric con-
ditions and all other matters which have
to do directly or indirectly with the new
form of mans enterprise.
Long ago The Star urged that the prob
lem of aviation. then seemingly at best
a hazardous mode Of public entertainment,
lay in the provision OF the machine: that
the man to run the machine would be
evolved through experience even more
quickly than the mechanical device itself
This has been repeatedly demonstrated
during these few years of the airplane' S
remarkable development. Foolish men
have. it is true. from time to time taken
rash chances in the devising Of eccentric
ways Of public entertainment. and have

in support of this theory. You can lift

Reflected Fame.

Representative Roberts of Nevada
fnds himself in peculiar position as a
result of the marriage of his daughter
to a famous base ball player. Whereas
he had previously right to recognition
by the public by virtue of his station
as member of the national legisla-
ture. he is now known throughout the
land as Walter Johnson's father-in-
law" Perhaps is demonstrate that he
has his own standing as an Individual.

author of a bill TO erect memorial to
the New Constitution Of Freedom" or
possibly this proposition is advanced
merely to remind the country that its
author is entitled to attention on his
own account and not because of the
marvellous speed and battling curves of
his son-in law. If he can secure the
passage Of the hill Representative
Roberts will have gained double bar

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 viz
tually evolved. Even at this time a COM
bination of aeroplane and boat is in the
course of trial that Is designed for
transoceanic flight, by way of the Azores
A successful accom- pishment of this feat
will go far to demonstrate that the
heavier-than-air apparatus is now prac-
ticable device. capable of doing real work
and competing with the more familiar
modes of transport.
1t is not difficult to foresee the day
of the common use of airplanes in the
transa crion 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 make them secure against
all but the extreme violence of
the atmosphere. and to this end So
called stabiizers are being worked
out and apparently are proving their
worth. Accidents continue to hap
pen due to the taking of desperate
chances. and doubtless before the air
plane is accepted as perfectly trust
worthy device it will have left q long
record of sacrifices. But it 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

Rivers and Harbors.

! a warm debate is scheduled for the
river and harbor bill in the Senate.
| The House passed 1t three months ago
without a roll call. Since then addi-
tions have been made to it, until now
the immediate appropriations and the
obligations for the future total the
husky sum of ninety odd million doll
lars.
Will the Senate stand for it? There
is a declared purpose to trim" it. and
even defeat it if possible. and the SEN
ate is the place for such fight. Only
a few years ago Senator Carter of Mon
tana talked a river and harbor bill to
death.
While this bill is large. and may
carry some Objectionable items. it
carries others of indisputable merit.

tribute to the public benefit. The policy
of internal improvements of this char
acter stands well approved by the
country. although there has been fire.
quent criticism of the plans for dis
bursting large sums of the money APP
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 it. and now it 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 some democrats declare
the canal tolls plank was?
Then those democrats who proved so
sensitive 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 inn
provements. If free passage for Amer
can coastwise ships through the
Panama canal would be subsidy,
what is free passage of steamboats, on
rivers and through locks kept in con-
dition by the government? At Panama
the object of free passage was to break
the monopolistic 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. so 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.

democrats to supply the quorum. Re

But there is higher standpoint. and that
requires the republicans and the bull

legislation. Were they to run away and
leave everything 10 the democrats they
could not excuse themselves if the meas

executive and the judiciary. If there

the capacity of New York state to gov

nation. Mr.. Root measures up to the
full standards of craftsmanship set by
the great public men of the past. In
a United States Senate. as constituted
during any period of our national his

The Art of Sailing.


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 steam 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.
